Cost of Great Guns.

Take the il0-ton gun: The gun alone costs
the taxpayers of this country between fl60OO
and $1,000. But that bare statement does
not give one n complete idea Of its cost; we
must add the further information that the gun
becomes useless after nincty-fyc rounds. The
life" Of this monster Of strength and de
structveness is measured by ninety-tye
rounds-no more. But what. again. does
a round cost: To get at it we must find
the price Of the powder charge, the price
of the projectile and the deieror-
ating eject Of firing each shot. This last part
of the expenditure is easily found by dividing
the price Of the gun by the duration Of its
life ia other words, by the number Of
rounds il can fire before it becomes useless.
In the case of the ll0-ton infant this deterlo-
ration comes - cl74 each round. Each round
requires 800 pounds OF powder. price 800 a
projectile weighing about seventeen hundred
weight. price $50. and-a curious "item'-
sixty shillings worth OF silk. Adding all these
sums we find the cost shot-I327. London

AsGessorss Salaries,

Tothe Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 see tn at our friend "P." rallies again to the defense of his proposition that such public servants as assessors ought to work for half pay, or that half their present pay price is good enough for them. Brains, he says, are plentiful. Men with brains are skirmishing around eager to work for half what the assessors get. "P." evident ly does not grasp the situation, for he seems to think the assessors pay is all profit and that the only responsible work assessors do is to put valuation on prop erty-work which in itself calls for men capable and brainy. The city, we say, can't afford to have "poor sticks" for as- sessors. There is 8 great deal of hard, ex- acting, discriminating labor to perform in the assessors office, outside of sizing up 1y isn't posted. He supposes that the 5000 the assessors get is $2, 900 net. He don't take into account the fact that ther. are two or three months of hustling to be | done before he gets the coveted nomination-which work involves an | outlay of from S200, to $500 | pocket money-then, if elected, the | happy assessor is obliged to buy tickets | from all the ball committees, sociable com

STRICKEN DOWN.
She Brought the Club Down on His
 Head.

SHELTON, Nov. 22.-The old tsllgate house on the Bridgeport turnpike has had the reputation of being haunted. The gate house has not been occupied for sev- eral years, as the law passed by state re- garding tolgates closed this one. The house at the time the gate was closed was occupied by family named Bigelow, who moved out on account of the peculiar noises heard. This was what gave the house the name of being inhabited by un- earthly beings and making it almost i'm possible for the company to either sell or rent the place. Saturday night, two men who were driving from Bridgeport to this place, one whose name is Phineas Nash and the other Hubbell, stopped at the house. Nash, who was intoxicated, got out of the wagon, and went to the door and knocked. Getting no reply he com menced to call to the supposed spirits within to open the door. Suddenly the door opened, and large muscular woman presented herself with a stick of stove wood in her hand, which she brought down on Nssh's head with force enough to render him unconscious for several minutes. The attending physician said this afternoon that there was danger of brain fever setting in from the effects of the blow.

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

 Commfttee-The Work to be Done
 Quay's Suceessor-Time and Place
 of Holding the Next Republican
 Convention.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-All arrange ments for the meeting of the national re- publican committee at the Arlington hotel tomorrow are about completed. Hon. Samuel Fessenden, the member of the national committee from Connecticut, said tonight that after the organization of the committee the next business in or der will be action upon the resignation of Chairman Quay and the choice of some one to succeed him. Next will follow the approval of the act of the executive com mittee in accepting the resignation of Hon. W. w. Dudley, treasurer of the committee, and appointment of MT. Barbour of New York, in his stead. The committee will then hear arguments from the delegation from the various | cities who desire to entertain the national republican convention of 1899. After the | delegations have been heard the committee | will ballot until a city has been selected. After a selection has been made the com mittee will fix the time for holding the | convention. It is said Senator Hiscock will make the principal speech in behalf of New York city. Hon. J. s. Fassett and Senator Hawley of Connecticut will also speak in behalf of that city The scene | around the hotel Hobbies and in the headquarters of the various delegations was an ! intensely lively one during the greater part of the after. noon and evening. It is difficult to say which delegation has the greatest conf. dence that it's city will win. MT. Fessen T. den said tonight he thought the commit
 tee would be in session two days. To morrow morning subcommittee (Fessen. den, Haines and Conger) with representa-
 tives from the District of Columbia will decide as to the manner in which dele
 gates to the national republican conven ton shall be chosen from the district.

SEARCHING FOR THE BODIES

SEARCHING FOR THE BODIES. One Hundred Men Dig All Night for the Bodies of the Men Buried by the Cave-In of Sand.
 BROOKLYN, Nov. 22.-All last night one
 hundred men were hard at work searching for the bodies of the four laborers caught in ths cave-in of sand and the bursting of
 the main of the Long Island Water Supply company in east New York. At o'clock
 this morning they were relieved by a new gang of 200. At twenty minutes of 3 the first body was recovered. It was found twenty-five feet below the surface,
 standing in an upright position, both hands firmly grasping shovel. It was identi- fed as the body of Paulo Gundino, an Italian, who leaves widow and children in Italy. No attempt was made during the day to find the bodies of the other three men, Hugh Murphy, Joseph Cosine and Phillip Saloon, who were caught between the tim Der and piling that held up the sides of excavation. When the condition of the brick conduit has been established the question whether Brooklyn is to have a water famine or not will be known. Yes terday the flow of water through the con- duit was shut off as 0 precautionary measure, it being feared that the wash out of sand by the water of the broken main of the Long Island Water Supply | company might have caused the conduit
 to settle, if it had not even broken it.
 This afternoon the top of the conduit was | uncovered by the men at work and it appeared to be all right An engineer with two laborers entered the conduit some distance above
 the point of the disaster for the purpose of floating through it in a boat to make an inspection. The two laborers, however, fell into the water, the boat foated away | and the inspection was abandoned. Early | in the day general alarm was sent out | directing the police to notify every house. holder and manufacturer to carefully save the water. At noon the main supplying
 in the central portion of the oity was shut | down. A small supply was still had from
 cross-street pipes, but the pressure in the | district was so reduced as to cut the water off from every floor above the first. Ev-
 erything is being done to give the city water as soon as possible. This will be accomplished by using an | old conduit from the Hampstead ponds to
 the pumping station at Ridgewood. At present the visible supply is not over l 50, 1000, 900 gallons. The bursting of the
 water main yesterday also broke the gas
 main that supplies Woodhaven, one of the l suburbs of Brooklyn, and tonight that town is in darkness. The six churches | held services by means of candles and oil lamps.
