BLEED TO DEATH.
A Wyoming Prisoner Who Killed Him
self in the Nebraska Prison,

Yestsrday United States Marshal Carr,
says the Cheyenne Leader of August 9th,
received q letter from tho warden of the
Nebraska penitentiary in which the Wi
ter tells of the suicide some months
g in the institution referred to of
Charlie Ross, a criminal who was sent
from Wyoming In 1879 for twelve years.
He had robbed a stage coach on
the Black Hills line, and in
doing so shot Dan Quinn Though the
nose, and q Chicago drummer named Lie
herman through the leg, from the effects
of which LiebPrmsnn has since died.
Marshal Carr arrested Ross shortly after
ward In Eureks, New, and he was sent
up as stated. Some months ago, Ross
wrote Carr a pitiful letter, Begging him
to intercede for his pardon, as he was In
very bad health and felt sure he would
not live a year longer If kept In prison.
Carr was touched by the mans pleading,
hough he knew him TO be a hard case,
and while he declined to interfere per-
sonally, he referred the letterto Ross at
torney. Nothing came of the matter,
however, and Ross, to end his
trouble, opened an artery in his
arm and bled himself to death.
The warden says he was a bad man
during the first years of his term, but
changed darling tho latter years to a very
tractable prisoner. The warden, continu.
ing, Gays that he now has eleven Wyo-
ming convicts there, among them N. d.
Flores, who belonged to a Mexican gang
of stage robbers, whcse time will be out
Sept. IA, 1886. This man, the warden
says, is a perfect devil aud past reform.
John f. Babcock will be out March 4,
1887. &c is behaving himself remarka'
bly, well and has had enough of prison
life, Jack Wilde goes out the 221 of this
month. The warden adds that he has q
number of former Wyoming prisoners
who are serving a second term as Nebras'
ka prisoners.

FLEET HORSES.
A Fine String of Flyers from Senator
S~tanfOrd's Stables Pass
Through Omaha,

MIR Charles Marvin, superintendent of
the stables Of Senator Leland Stanford,
California, wss in the city yesterday, en-
route to the east, with q fine string Of
twelve young trotters, which he will en.
ter in the eastern races. The horses are
now in Council Bluffs, and MIR. Marvin
Will start with them this morning.
Speaking with a reporter for the BEE
yesterday, MIR. Marvin said that he had
great confidence in the horses which he
was taking east, because, though all of
them were young, they had already de-
vevsloped remarkable speed powers.
Among them he has the famous FIVE year
old Sallie Benton. with q record as q
four.year-old of 1:l7A, and Hindoo Rose,
with a record of 2:19A. In addition
to these there are two two year.
olds, one 1-year-old, two 5-year-oldS,
one 6 year-old, three 3.yesr-olds, one
4.year-old, Carrie c., with o public rec
ord of 1925. Within but two or thre
exceptions the horses have not been sub.
jected to any severe tests of speed, and
great things are expected of them during
the remainder of the season. 1t Is Mr..
Msrvin's intention to enter them first at
the Albany races. then at Rochester, and
coming west, at the Chicago, st. Louis,
and Lexington races. Last season Sena-
tor Stanford did not allow any of his
horses to trot, on account of the
death of his son. The season before,
however, MIR. Marvin returned from tho
eastern races with about $4,000, the sea-
son before that with So, 600. This year
he has prospects, he thinks. of lettering
these winnings.
In speaking of the fire which destroyed
Senator Stanford's stables, In California,
some time ago, Mr.. Marvin said that
though the loss of stock was very heavy,
something over $25, 900, none of the
race horses persisted, all the ''hgers' be-
ing, fortunately, in another stable.

"No," continued the dealer, in re-

Last week there passed through

few days until 1t was proven positlvely

that he was Sebastian Heillg, a

passed through Omaha Thursday night in
charge of an officer, to Montana, where
it is said, he has another serious charge
to yer.
This has been a remarkable case In
many respects, one being tho positive
manner in which several witnesses in
Montana, who had known Sim Wan,
swore that this was the man, Mr.. Frank
Yates, Of the Garfield House, who knew
Wan, said that he vas sure that the cap

his innocencs and identity would have

Largest In the World.
New York World.

ANeW lOIh "OIlus
On roughly .hewn trunnIons In the
center Of Ribbon & March's shops in
Jersey City, yesterday, there rested a
peculiar looking mass of tubing that was
explained by the foreman to be the most
powe full gun in the world. 1t had Just
been finished, and the last polish was be-
ing put on by q dozen mechanics. The
barrel Is siIty feet long, breech loading,
and weighs for.y. three tons. 1t is of
heavy wrought iron, brass lined through.
out, and with a full bore of eight inchci.
1t was cast In four sections, fifteen feet
long, with iron collars which are welded
together with stout steel bolts.
The barrel is bolted to eight reservoirs,
where the compressed air necessary to
fire 1t la stored, Brass nozzles connect
the reservoirs to the barrel, and the
amount of air necessary to throw out the
projectile Is regulated automatically.
Upright casting, carried on 12.inch chan
mel irons support the whole, which Is
moved by compressed air to any position
desired by the gunner.
More formidable looking than the gun
Itself Is the projeclile fired. The cart
ridge, which is of brass, is five feet long,
and fits the bore snugly. In an iron
cone at the head of the projecsle $50
pounds of dynamite are stored, covered
with q slight cap of thin metal, which Is
easily broken off, exploding the projec-
tile wherever 1t strikes.
When the u is charged the gunner
takes his stand on a platform behind the
barrel, and by means of a lever closes the
breech. BY s!mgly turning a crank the
desired elevation Is obtained and fixed.
The lowest of the levers opens the nozzles
leading from the air chambers. and in.
stantly the ehaft cartridge Is thrown out.
Sufficient air to fire ak projectiles Ia
stored In the cylinders. There Is no re-
coil and the position of the gun remains
unchanged.
As soon as the carriage Is completed
aud the gun mounted 1t will be taken to
Fort lafayette, where the tests will be
made under the supervision of q commits
sion of navel men appointed by the gov
eminent to report the result of the ex-
periments.
Eyes, SIR" said the foreman, as he
proudly surveyed the gun yesterday,
that is the biggest piecs of ordinance
ever built In the world. 1t puts In the
shade anything ever made by Krupp,
then 1t wa all made In this little shop.
Work was begun In October, but the
boring was 80 difficult that it required
much longer time than we calculated. 1t
has been tested and shows no signs of
weakening under q pressure of $500
pounds to the square inch. l feel sure
that 1t will! reyolutionizs modern warfare,
and for coast defense 1 think 1t has no
equal"
The company expect to sell the gun to
Secretary Whitney if 1t proves service
able, and they hope to get orders for
more of the same kind.

LINCOLN, Neb., August 9TH, 1886.
To the Editor of The BEE.
Your correspondent here has seen fit to
begin operations by an attack upon the
Farmers and Mechanics mutual benevo-
lent association of this place, of which 1
am president.
The attorney general at the Instance of
the sold line" insurance companies, to
whose eff Irts he and the auditor owe their
nominations, has seen fit to question the
Legality of the several mutual comps-
MES of this state and has brought suit
against us. Why he should see fit to
open q war upon an organization within
the state instead of one of the scores Of
companies from other states doipg busi-
meas here, | leave him to explain.
The Farmers and Mechanics are doing
Just what forty other companies are, to
wit: Pay to each member the net result
of one assessment upon proof of death,
1t is not necessary to enter into a con-
troversy with your correspondent whose
miss statements and far-fetched conclu'
sions are 30 pumerous, but | deem 1t
necessary to say that whilst the BEE and
Mr.. Leess may from different motives
have Joined their efforts to crush home
institutions, the courts will probably
find that no one has been swindled, nc
one is liable to be, and that the Farmers
