The First Homo Made Eobel Gun.

The first gun made Tor the Confetlcr-

Miller, of Chattanooga. The owners of
Libby prison, now III Chicago, are in
correspondence with Mrs. Miller for the
purchase OF the historic relic. The gun
was made by Mrs. Nlllcr's father, w. S.
McElvainc, at Holly Springs, Miss, in
the Summer of 1861. IL was carried
through part of the war by young man
OF Holly Springs, friend OF Mr.. Nc
Elwainc. Originally it had riled bar
rel. About the middle Of the war tho
barrel was injured bv a ball, and the
gun was retuned TO Mr.. McElwalne, who
cut it of at the injured point and bored
it for Il shot gun.
Alr. McElWalnc was q native Of Pitte-
field, Massachusetts, where he learned
the trade of a machinst. Aflerward he
worked in gun factory in New York,
and then moved TO Sandusky. Ohio,
where he engaged in the foundry bust
ness. In 1859 he went on q prospecting

foundry business with two partners
When the war began the company had a

badly needed, and Mr.. McElwaine
planned and made the necessary machn-
cry Tor manutacturiu" them. With his
own hands he made tho first gun, which
his daughter now preserves.
When the battle Of Shiloh was fought
III 1862 the plant was turning out twenty
five stands of arms a day and employing
500 hands. The armory was aiterward
sold to the Confederate government for

EUROPEAN WAR CLOUDS LOWERING.
Startling Disclosures Concerning the
Propagation of Socialistic Ideas.

Startling Disclosures Concerning the
Propagation of socialistic Ideas.
LONDON, March 29.-This evenings
adyices from Berlin state that unusual
activity has prevailed for the past three
days in the war Office, and that an un-
usual number of employees were busy at
the Office to-day. The Emperor had a
long audience with Chancellor Capriyi
and the high officials generally look as if
something important was OH the tapiS.
There is no doubt that the movements
or Russian troops near the German
frontier and the evidence of the cordial
intimacy between Russia and France
has caused much anxiety in Berlin, and it
is possible that the alarm caused by the
apprehension of war may lead to impor.
tant military changes.
BESIDES, the thought that Russia and
France may be preparing for war, the
German government is said to be very
much stirred up over startling facts that
have been disclosed in regard to the So
cialistic propaganda in the army. The
military authorities have come into pos
session, through recent arrest, of evi-
dence going to show that the social de-
mOcracy has been spreading it's doctrines
throughout the ranks, both of the army
and navy, and has made numerous pro-
eiyites, and that the propagation of
socialism among the troops is not con-
fined to Germany, but is Systematically
carried on throughout Europe, with the
exception of Russia, and that all the ar
mics of Western. Europe are honey.
cOmbcd with the subversive ideas of the
pledged enemies of established institu-
tions. The Kaiser, it is stated, has
given directions that the evil shall be
dealt with most radically, so far as Ger
many is concerned, and any officer or
soldier detected in propagating the pro.
hlbitcd opinions shall be punished with
the utmost severity.
The information aScertained has also
been sent to Austria, Belgium and Italy
for the war Offices in those countries to
be on their guard.
