a RapId-Firing Gun.

The briggs. Schroeder rapid firing gun,
invented by I.ieuts. briggs and Schroeder,
United States navy officers, has been sold
to English capitalists for 100000.
Lieut.. Schroeder is the commander OF
the dynamite cruiser Veeuvius, and Lieut..
briggs is one OF the beat authorities in
the navy on ordnance matters, hav-
ing graduated at Annapolis at the head
OF his class The sale was consum-
mated last week. and it ia stat
ed that the two inventors were paid the
full purchase price in cash. Several OF the
guns were built at Cramps ship yard Tor
experimental purposes, and alter being
subjected to the severest tests by English
ordnance experts, the latter unanimously
rec commended their Immediate purchase,
and no time was lost in coming to terms.
As usual in such cases, the United States
ordnance experts could not find any mer-
it in the gun, and the inventors were COM
PEELED to go out OF their country to have
their genius properly and substantially APP
preciated. The advantages OF the new gun
consist in its light weight and rapid firing
capacity. 1t weighs only l 3 pounds, is made
OF the strongest kind OF steal, and can fire
a shot three miles. 1t can be fired three
times as fast as the famous English Arm.
strong gun. the name OF the new COM
uany will be the briggs Shredder Ordinance
Company, and all the work will be done
ii England excepting the guns sold to the
United States government which Will be
manufactured here, owing to the act Of con-
gress requiring all ordinances used in the
army and navy TIC be made in this coun-
try.

1.-THE LUST OF THE EYE. T"
Lord Euston and How He Has Soil
ed His Reputation.


Though Editor Parke was unsuccessful
in clearing himself OF the charge OF libel
brought against him by Lord Euston, the
admission made by that nobleman OF hay
ing visited the house in Cleveland st, and
paid asovereign for the privilege OF witness
ing an indecent performance as he belIev-
ed, are not regarded as in any degree cred
liable to the gentleman. aud are
by many considered to be sui
ficient to very IN lch tighten the gravity of
the EDITORS ofiense. 1t is proven by his
own testimony, that il his own lordship
did not participate in the Infamous prac-
tices alleged, he was aware OF their exist
ence and paid voluntary visit to the
place oil their happening, in expectation OF
witnessing a performance a little less indie
cent; failing to see which, he became highly
indignant. The magnificent display OF in.
compatibility made by the noble gentle
man in threatening to knock the doorkeep
or down at that functioniary's suggestion
of a substitute for the high moral
entertainment he had paid TO see
and his subsequent prosecution OF
Editor Parkes for connecting his name
with allegations OF wrong doing, have caus-
ed many to ask why the immaculate gen
tleman did not report his discoveries 10
the authorities, thereby giving not only
the offending editor, but all other chroD-
iclers the opportunity they gladly would
have awaited themselves OF to sound his
praises. Instead OF doing this the gentle
man, the motto OF whose house is, Both
the ornament and the reward OF integ-
rety, proves under his own oath that he
is not the one, nor worthy OF the other,
and yesterdays proceedings lett him IN
worse plight in the eyes OF decent men
than the man he is pursuing in the courts.

Great Fire at Lynn. mass.

On the 26th inst. Lynn, Mass, was Wis
tied by one of the most destructive confla-
grations OF the century. 1t wiped out one
entire ward, and that in the heart of the
manufacturing portion of the city. The
loss is estimated at $40, 900, 900 or more
Many people are homeless and thousands
thrown out OF employment. Relief COM
mittees have been formed, and organized
to endeavor to care for all needy persons
The fire was particularly a stubborn one,
and many narrow escapes are chronicled,
but TO loss OF life. The fire burnt itself
out after reaching the water front of the
city, The principal losses seem to be
among the shoe manufacturers.

Free Delivery.

First Assistant Postmaster General
Clarkson. in his annual report, presents
the following statement relating to the in
creases in the number OF postofiices and
postmasters during the past and previous
fiscal years:
Whole number Of postotfices June 30
1883, 57,376; June 30, 1889, 5S. 1893.
Number OF presidential offices June 80,
1883, 2,4SS; June 80, 1889, 2,6S4. APP
pointments to vacancies caused by remov-
ais, June 80, 1888. PA; June 80, 1889,
1853. The number OF money order sta
lions in operation Jsly l, 1889, was 144,
an increase OF 4 over the previous year.
or the free delivery service, Gen. Clark.
son says:
On June 80, 1889, there were 40l free
delivery offices, an increase OF 43 over the
number at the close of the last fiscal year.
at this date there are 446 offices, which
number may be considerably increased be-
fore June 30, 1890. From the Inaugural
ton OF the free delivery system, July 1,
1863, until June 80, 1874, the cost OF the
service exceeded the receipts from locnl
postage; since that date the balance on the
credit side has steadily increased from
year to year.
The superintendent OF the free delivery
service recommends the following change
in existing law:
The extension ofjthe service to all places
which have a population according to the
last general state or United States census
of 5000, the postotfice OF which produces
a gross revenue for the proceeding fiscal
wear OF at least SIS, 900. This will embrace
all the important postofhces OF the second
Glass; The law at present does not pro
vide sufficient allowances for third class
Offices to warrant a satisfactory free de-
livery service.
At the close OF the fiscal year there were
1gS stations connected with the free de-
livery offices, and since then twenty eight
additions have been established, making
226 now in operation. large increase
in the number OF offices is expected after
che census of 1890 has been completed
which will show all the places
then legally entitled to the sser
vice on account ot population Inc
augmentation for this service Tor the pres
emf tiscal year is $S,000,0OO The esti
mate for the next fiscal year, commencing
JnIv /. 1890, is 9,069, 4S5. In the salary
and allowance division, 50, 800, adjust
ments of salaries OF presidential postmas

The State of Trade.

r. G. Dun & Co. g weekly review OF trade
says: Two heavy fires, with aggregate
losses estimated at $15, 100000 or more,
may have an influence upon several branch
es OF trade which cannot yet be estimated.
The heavy concurrent losses may shake
the finances OF the firms burned out.
But the general prosperity and large
accumulation OF available capital will
probably render the influence OF these
disasters comparatively narrow and
brief. In other respects the situation is
quite az encouraging as it has been for
some weeks past; volume OF business is un.
surpassed, and the pressure in the money
markets, though not ended here, has seem
ed to be abating elsewhere. Reports from
other cities are, without exception, favor.
able on the whole. The speculative mark.
cts have not been very active. With the
sales OF 100000 bushels here, wheat
has declined nearly a cent and corn about
a half cent, with sales of 100000. The
great boom in iron abroad, with lthe
speculative excitement is rarely wit.
messed and rapid fuctuation in prices
causes some apprehension because ex.
perience teaches that ouch rapid and ex-
cited movements are usually followed by
ugly reactions. Unparalleled productions
in this country still continues, and other
furnaces OF large productions are. about to
go into operation, and yet prices are firm
at Philadelphia. Business failures num.

Behind the Ears.

The Hurley, Wis, bank robbers are IN
jail. Revelations. it is said. have been
made in the express bank robbery case
that are sur 9rising to every one except
Col. Byrnes and the detectives who have
been engaged with the case up to the pres
ent time. Col. Byrnes arrived in Hurley
on the Lake Shore express ON the oath
inst, and at noon swore out warrant
for the arrest of Assistant Cashier Phelps
Perrin, OF the Iron Exchange bank, where
the $50, 600 belonging to the United States
Express company had been placed in the
vault for sale keeping till the following
morning. Perrin and Cashier Reynolds
were the only Doasessors OF keys to the
SAFE, and each knew the combination.
Following PERKINS, arrest, a saloonkeeper
named A. Baker formerly engaged in the
same line OF business in Oshkosh, and
female companion named Sun were also
placed behind the bars of the Ironwood
Jail, charged with being implicated with
Perrin in the bank robbery case. Perrin
has been a trusted employee in the Iron
Exchange bank for the past three years,
and by his obliging and courteous way had
won the esteem of his employers and Ie-
pect and good will OF large
number of prominent business men
in both Hurley and Ironwood. He is also
highly connected. his father being promi-
nent banker at New London, this state.
where he was employed by his father before
his arrival in Hurley some three years ago.
Baker was known to possess no money up
to the time when he opened up fine sa-
loon in Ironwood and paid q license of
$500, which he did few days after the
robbery. 1t is understood that 's.Perria
put up the money to start Baker in bust
ness and himself to act as silent partner
and share the profits. Perrin was arrest
ed on the street on his way home to din
ner. On being locked up Perrin broke down
and cried bitterly. hut made no statement
either declaring his innocence or guilt.

3 Terrible Storm.

A very destructive cyclone passed over o
portion OF Buford county, N. G., on the
28th OF November, doing great damage.
Houses were blown down and trees torn u .
by the roots. The residence OF farmer
near Washington, the county seat, was
blown TO atoms and the entire fami-
ly, consisting OF father, mother and
four children were killed instantly. A grown
daughter was to have been married the
next day and all preparations had been
made to celebrate the happy event. A fac
tory near Washington was blown down and
two people killed, while dozen others re-
ceived bad injuries. Miss Matte CheVe,
the pretty daughter OF a farmer, was
caught up in the cyclone and carried away
upon tie bosom OF the mad wind. Reports
so far are very meagre and it is impossible
to obtain the names Of the killed ut this
writing.
