nnsERrEn HIS WIFE.
A Meriden Woman Worried About
 uel. Missing Husband.

N
 Her Missing Husband.
 Mrs Nicholas Parmentier of Meriden was deserted six years ago by her hus- band and since that time has been unable to learn of his whereabouts. She was left dependent, with six children, the younges of whom was only three months old, and Parmentier's mother, an aged lady, who is a cripple, to support.
 The last she heard of her husband was a short time after Le disappeared, when she learned that he had been seen in Waterbury. From that time until a few days since, no tidings have been re- ceived and those that have been cannot be confirmed.
 \ few days ago Mrs Parmentier learned that a man bearing her missing husbands name had been killed in a quarrel in Brooklyn, but she has been unable since to gain any information re- garding the story.

 Trainer Hislop of the camels and e:e- phants in Main & Van Amburgh's cir GUS, while helping the monkey-keeper clean their cages at New Britain Monday, was frightfully bitten on the chin by a big monkey called "Caspar," weighing sixty.five pounds. The angry animal pinched piece of flesh out of the man with both fore and hind feet, while with his teeth he bit several gashes in his flesh. The worst bites, each about two inches long, were on the mans cheek, on the fleshy part of the left arm and on the right hand between the thumb and forefinger. From the elbows down, for the man had his sleeves rolled up, his arms are black and blue from pinching.

At the meeting of the Hartford City guards last evening Captain Wickham announced that hereafter new members would not be subject to ballot before be- ing enlisted, but would be enlisted by him if he decided they were qualified. When asked what was to become of the laws prescribing balloting for new mem- bers, he said that the members would hereafter have nothing to say in the military management of the company. They might talk and vote in the civil control, but he would be the supreme authority in all military matters.

LINE OF BATTLE SHIPS.
The Three Monsters to be Built for
Our Navy.

n. MERICA has just taken the step in the
Mv building of war ships that was taken
XSvby the great naval powers Of Europe
III yneary two decades ago-that 10. she
WH0 has decided to build some Of the larg-
est line Of battle ships that can be economically
foated. This is considered by some a mistake,
but the concensus Of naval opinion 10 largely in
favor Of the great ships They are to be heavy
craft provided with enormously heavy guns
and equally heavy armor, and will in every re-
spect be quite the equal Of the best of those
that have been built on the other side Of the
Atlantic. Bids for these vessels will be opened
at the department on the LIST of October next.
The full title Of q ship of this sort is q '.sea-
going coast-line battle ship" and there were
three Of them provided for in the naval appro-
prlation act approved on the S0th of last June.
sEA-aoINe coAsT-LINE BATTLE SHIPS
The act provides that they are to be "de-
signed to carry the heaviest armor and the
most powerful ordnance upon a displacement
OF about $500 tons, with coal endurance of
about 5000 knots on the total coal capacity at
the most economical rate Of speed, and with
the highest practicable speed for vessels of
their class" to cost, exclusive of armament and
OF any premiums that may be paid for in
creased speed, no. exceeding $4,000 900 each.
The following are the general features and
dimensions OF the vessels: Length on load

THE ARMAMENT.
The 13-inch guns are mounted in pairs on the
center line under the protection OF improved
steel turrets II inches in thickness, working in

are OF the same type as those adopted tor the
Puritan, AmphrItrite. Maine and Monterey
and are of the latest improved design
The armor Of the turrets being in-
clined offers the resistance of 10 inches
thickness horizontally. The S-inch guns are
mounted i'll similar barbette turrets inches in
thickness. The ammunition is supplied through
armored tubes, and every consideration has

The four s-inch guns are fought under protec-
ton OF inches Of armor and have the usual
shields. The fire from four l3-inch guns, three
S-inch, two 6-inch and eight 6-pounders can
be concentrated on either bow or quarter.
TIE PROTECTIVE ARMoR
The water line is protected by belt Of steel
Of a maximum thickness Of Is inches, backed
up by wood, behind which are two thicknesses of
M-inch plates powerfully stiffened by a sys EN-
Of vertical and horizontal eirders. Above this
belt is a casemate of Oh Inch armor to prevent
riding above the belt and to break up proiectiles
charged with high explosives Diagonal bulk
heads are worked at the ends Of the belt and
from the armor deck (Which Is worked over
the vessel at top Of belt) rise the redoubts
protecting the turning and loading gear Of the
turrets for the heavy guns A deep belt OF
coal is carried above the armor deck, adding
still further protection against gun fire.
In wake Of the boilers are four skins and q

impossible for a torpedo to make q hole that
will let water into the fire rooms. Behind the
armor Of the belt and surrounded on all sides
by coal are two wide passages, one on each
side, con Meeting the passing rooms for ammu-
milton at the ends. So all the handling of am

forced draught, 5000; LIP. under natural

The vessels are to be built on the bracket
system, with a double bottom extending from
armor shelf to armor shelf, with many subdi-
visions and water-tight compartments. Every
approved device adding 10 the health of the
crew. the safety Of the ship and the efficiency
