1EItNU EElCssONs NEN DEsTHOYgg,
The act that Captain John Eficsson's
torpedo boat, the Destroyer, has lately
been subjected 10 q series Of tests ia deep
water Oh sandy Hook, has revived curl.
Osiiy and interest IN regard TO that IN.
ique vessel which Is now lying at the cob
dock ia the brooklyn Navy Yard. The
United States Government has thus lar
had nothing TO do with the vessel except
to give her dock facilities, aud the costly
experiments to ascertain her capabilities
have been conducted entirely at the ex.
pense oi the inventor and owner, Captain
Ericsson. The recent experiments with
the Destroyer oil Sandy Hook have sue.
ceeded. II - said. in proving three
things, which had previously been in.
volyed IN some doubt. In the first place
it has been proved that the pitching OF
the vessel IN rough water does not affect
the course OF the projectile. the velocity
OF the latter being too great to permit
such influence; secondly, it has been
proved that the conclusion of the firing
does not affect any OF the steam connec.
tions when the boat is under full boiler
pressure; thirdly, the effect OF the dis.
charge upon the trigger OF the projectile
has been tested, with the result OF show.
ing that the passage through the tempo
rary valve, etc. does not injure the
trigger at all, and that danger OF a pre-.
mature explosion is entirely absent A
new series OF experiments will shortly be
made, with view to increasing tile eff.
cheney OF the vessel in direction which
cannot yet be made public. 1t is esti-
mated that the cost OF vessel like the
Destroyer, fully equipped, would be from
$4,000 to $780, 900, il number were
built at the same time. At this rate, it
is argued, such means Of naval defense
would be remarkably cheap in proportion
to its efficiency. Boston Journal.

The Standard ON Case.

The suit brought by Schofield, shurmer &
TeaSel, oil refiners, against the Lake Shore road
praying for temporary injunction preventing
the latter from carrying the products of the
Standard Oil Company at lower rates than given
them, before Judge Blandin, in the Common
Pleas, Court at Cleveland, will be watched with
great in terest. President Newell said it was
fact that the Standard given lower rates
than the published schedule. The rate given to
the Standard for shipments to Chicago was so
cents barrel, with no rebaLo, while the pub
lisbad rate was go cents barrel. An arrange
men5 was made with the Nickel-plate by which
q norton OF the OIL shlpPed from Cleveland
should be given to them. This pool was made
because war on rates feared. An agree
ment also exists, he said, with the C., c., c. 81 l.
by which the roads do not compete with each
other IN certain territories. The case will con-
time tomorrow. tits attracting great deal of
attention among oil men, for if the petition
prayed for is granted, the Standards greatest

which asked him to testify to. His refusal
to speak opens a question that 1 think has
never been preached up to this time:
whether a cabinet minister's duty to his
chief compcls him to be silent at the expense
of an Injustice to another man"
I asked il Mr. Speed was still alive. Mr..
Holt said that he was.
Said /: Judge what is your estimate OF
Mrs. Surratt from your intimate relation
with the trial of the cOnspirators"
Il think" said Judge Holt, that she was
the master spirit among them all She was
woman of unusual nerve, and also OF un-
usual in tellieence. During that trial her be-
havior was firm, her nerve mistaken, and
she saw her danger and the methods ofmeet-

kept those men up to their work-that
Booth himself was inferior to her i'll pur-
pose. The materials Of the conspiracy were
in general common. Mrs, Surratt was the
social center OF the whole affair She kept the
rendezvous, she gave shelter to the others,
she went out aud found board for them, she
drove the carriage out to her tavern where
the arms and accessories had been hidden
within a few hours of the crime. l consider
her the center of the conspiracy"
The Judge remarked at another time:
"There was young man by the name OF
Weichmann in that trial, who was an inhab-
liant of Mrs. Surratts house, of the same
faith that she was, and who had known her
LONG La addition to the evidence which lie
gave at the trial, he told some very singular
things. Booth came to Mrs. Surratts house
the day OF the assassination and when he
left she was very much agitated and she
turned to this young Weiohmann-who had
been the classmate of her son st school, and
who drove her down to her tavern that day
and she said to him: Lewis, pray for my
