GREAT GUNS.
How They Are Made and What They Cost
Harper's Weekly.


The forging of the immense guns is a
most interesting process. The rife guns
of the present are made by reinforcing
the tube with rings and repeated layers OF
steel called jackets, which are fitted one
over the other over the original tube or
barrel of the gun. The jackets or hoops
must ft as closely to the { uns as if form
ing an inlergal part of its composition.
The only way to get them on it, of course,
bv heating, and thus enlarglng them.
When they cool. they fit snugy. 1t Is
evident that the exact size of the jacket
and ring when heated so thai 1t can be
put in its place must be matter of the
incest mathematical calculation The
coarse powder now used make such havoc
with the rifing Of the largest guns that
one hundred charges, are about all that
can be expected from them. The jackets
and r acs can then be removed, and fitted
10 another tube.
The various parts of gun are not put to-
gether at Bethlehem, but are sent to
Washington, to department of the ar
senal called the assembly -room where the
tube is rihed, and the gun is finally COM
pleted. A steel gun of the largest caliber
cost about 100000. The ordinance OF our
modern navy is therefore one of the most
costly items for which congress is expect
ed to display patriotic generosity.

fire had Just been discovered. IL had not
made much Roadway bvt the workmen
did not succeed in extinguishing 1t before
IL reached the powder barrels,
All the buildings. boilers, hosting ma
chinery, etc. about the mine were com
pletely wrecked. and oil the houses in the
vicinity, most OF which were occupied by
the mine laborers and their families, were
more or less damaged. The shock was felt
all over the city.
Mike Zept, miner, at work at the
bottom OF a shaft. 10 feet under ground,
was struck by a bucket which fell from
the surface and sustained probably fatal
injuries. Mrs. Povish was hurt about the
head and her l3-months-old baby also was
struck by flying wreckage. Mike smith
sustained a conclusion OF the brain from
the shock. IL is a wonder that the explo-
sion did not result even more seriously.

"GRAND OLD MANI INDEED.
Gladstone's Splendid Appearance at New
Castle Yesterday.

LONDON, Oct. 3.--The sensation of the
hour in English political circles Is the
physical appearance of Mr. Gladstone at
the Liberal Congress at New Castle last
evening. The old man eloquent stood
erect and vigorous. His voice, when fully
warmed 20 action, rang out clear as bell,
so that not one of his 1900 auditors had
any difficulty In understanding him, and
the resolution expressing the deep affec-
ton and undiminished confidence enter
tanned by the liberal party for Mr.. Glad
stone was passed amid intense enthu
siasm.
Mr.. Gladstone spoke OF the arrears of
legislation, which, he said, would grow in
proportion as the life OF the Tory govern
ment was prolonged, attacked the Tories
Tor eNtravagance, and said the Liberals
had endeavored 10 make the work OF the
present administration in its foreign
policy easy, because they thought that the
conservative spirit had undergone bene-
hcial change. He said he should not be
sorry II the difficult question OF the House
OF Lords remained in the shade, but IL in

tempted 20 listen TO the counsel

Lords will not accept the deplorable sug

take precedence OF every other question. :"
In regard 10 registration reform, Mr.
Gladstone admitted that much might be
said in favor Of giving il "A forward place

little was known of Mr.. Ladd's death, but
that he died aboard his yacht somewhere

His Trunk for Canada.

KINGSTON, n. Y. Oct. 3.-The Ulster
County Savings Institution has closed its
doors and is in charge of the bank exami-
ner. The rough examination of the &c
counts shows that the sum OF $4,000 has
been stolen from the bank 10y Treasurer
Ostrander and his accomplice, Assistant
Treasurer Matthew L. Trumplour. IL is
feared that the more careful examination
OF the accounts may show that the loss
will reach much larger figures. The bank
was considered one Of the strongest in this
section and its depositors are numerous
not only in the county but in the neigh
boring portions OF the State.
At midnight warrant was sworn out
for the arrest of the officers OF the bank
and the sheriff went at once To the house
of the treasurer. Ostrander was found in
the act Of packing his trunk and prepar-
ing TO leave town before morning, when
the sheriff arrested him. The arrest of the
other officials will he made to-day
Great excitement prevails among the de
positors as they are largely people of mol
