GREAT GUNS.
Experimenting With Fifty-four-
Ton Cannon.
The Ordnance Committee Successfully
Test the New Monster.

New YORK, November 20.-The Congress
sional Committee appointed by the Forty
eighth Congress to obtain information con-
corning the manufacture of ordnance and
armor plate in this country, went to the
proving ground at Sandy Hook yesterday
to learn what success had attended the ord
nance corps Of the army in its experiments
with the l2-inch 54-ton gun that was eleven
months in building fat the South Boston
Iron Works. The gun is one of the largest
ever made in the United States. 1t is
constructed Of cast iron, measures one
foot at the bore, is thirty feet long, is q
hreech loader, weighs fifty -four tons, cost
SD,OOO, was eleven months in building,
carries charge of 265 pounds of powder
and an 800 pound projectile, contains
French interrupted screw or French ferme-
ture, can penetrate at | 900 yards an arma
ment of twenty -one inches OF wrought iron,
and costs the Government every time the
lanyard Is pulled S64 for the shell and $50
for the powder, or $116 The powder used is
slow burning powder called the cocoa, ow-
Ing to its close resemblance to that article.
This powder was invented by German
five years ago, who impaired the secret of
its manufacture to his Government, which
kept 1t secret for three years and sold the
patent 70 Great Britain for 100000. One
of the United States ordnance officers
bought q few grains few years ago, and
in exper .menting upon it actually i'm
proved upon the original. Two sacks of
cocoa powder, which required the mu cles
Of two men to lift through the gaping
breech of the gun, formed the first charge.
A moment later there was a flash, a crash
and the 500 pound projectile was whirling
through the air at the velocity Of
1,783 feet a second, and dropped a few Sec
onds later far out at sea, throwing up wa.
| ter five feet high. The huge gun recoiled
only six feet one inch, with a motion that
a swan might have envied, and then stood
| still as If proud of her achievement. The
gun was again loaded and fired. The pres
sure pounds per square inch at the base of
the bore was 20,9OO against 5000 for the
| first round. Two rounds of mortar firing
which followed, with shell weighing $40
pounds and charge Of twenty six pounds
Of powder, aroused the admiration of the

WAR-LIKE INDIANS.
An Alliance Formed for the Purpose of Ex-
terminating the Whites.

WINNIPEG, MAN, November 10.--Dis-
patches from Battlcford are of most
alarming nature. 1t has for some time
been known that the Southern Indians in
the Northwest Territory did not profit by
the lesson given their northern brethren,
but have been more aggressive than ever.
1t Is now asserted in the most positive
manner that the southern and northern
tribes of Indians are on the point of form
ing an alliance to sweep the whole country
from the far North to the boundary line,
ssacreing the inhabitants and destroy
Ing their homes. This means much more
than the late rebellion, and it will be i'm
possible for the Government to compare
it to simple riot. 1t means revolt of the
entire Indian population of the North west,
unless vigorous and immediate measures
are taken. From information obtained
from runners who have been among the
various tribes, and from observations of
others, 1t is predicted that the trouble may
come at any moment. The Government was
warned of the Saskatchewan very much | ,
the same manner, but neglected to take
precautionary measures until too late.
They can not quell this one by talking 1t
down at Ottawa.

provement has been made on the Bessemer
steel process at the Edgar Thomson Steel
Works which, it is said, will have the
effect of making B"ssemer steel equal in
quality TO crucible steel at about one tenth
the price. The change consists in the
thorough mixing of the spiegel iron or
manganese, with the molten iron in the ladle,
so as to uniformly carbonize it. Bessemer
steel can be produced at cost of cent to
cent and half pound, while that made
in crucible costs at least eleven cents a

SANDUsKY, o., November 2O.-The fire
which destroyed the main building of tEe
County Infirmary broke out in one
of the upper rooms in the north
west wing Of that institution about
half-past O'Clock this evening, originat-
ing, as is supposed from defective fue.
The flames spread with great rapidity, and
as there were no facilities for extinguish-
ment of the fire, the whole upper part of
the structure was soon mass of flame. An
alarm was sent TO this city as soon as pos
sble, and the firsmen responded promptly.
The nearest supply of water was in = creek
about a quarter of mile from the institu.
tion. A line of hose was speedily laid and
stream was soon playing on the flames.
In the meantime large crowd had gather.
ed, and worked bard to rescue the inmates
and save the household effects. There
were ninety-eight inmates. All were
safely gotten out exc pr five, who were in
the insane department, which was located
in that portion of the building where the
fire originated. Tue names of those who
were burned to death were as follows
Mary Latcha, of Sandusky; Mrs. New
comb, of Berlin Heights; Mrs Scheufer,

mates in the insane depar ment, and
was carried to house near by, and is still

were placed in the stable and made as
comfortable as possible. The fire.
men, finding they could not save the
main structure, directed their efforts to-
ward saving the smaller building immedi-
ately in the rear, which is the mems de.
partment. This building escaped without
damage, aud, after the fire, the inmates
were removed into it from the stable. A
large portion of the household effects was
saved: Provisions, farm produce, ETC., in
the cellar, were destroyed. The total loss
is estimated at between $15 900 and $4,000
