A HOLEY TEARER,
JUDGING BY TIE WAY IT FLOWS UP TIE
GROUND.
"A New Explosive Compared With Which Dyna-
mih is Punk-Tt an American In
vsntiOn aud They Call II
ferrorite.

New YORK, September General
Abbott and Colonel Mordecay arrived at
Fort Hamilton shortly after 10 A. NJ
yesterday. and made final test OF the
new chemical high explosive compound
known as terrorite.
Holes were dug in the ground six feet
deep in the northwestern corner OF the
fort. A hollow shell of copper was then
filled with twelve pounds of the explo-
sive and packed with cotton. The smell
was then placed in the improvised pit
and covered solidly with earth to the
surface. 1t was exploded by means OF
an ordinary prime. The defamation was
long, muffled one, without any smoke,
but volume Of earth, weighing fully
ton, was hurled through the air In al
most every direction, rising to height
of twenty-five to fifty feet.
The enormous force Of terrorite was
evidenced by the crater which 1t MADE
around the pit and which measured
nearly twelve feet in diameter. The
same quantity of dynamite or nitro
glycerine would not have done half as
much damage. Four shells were fired
in all with practically the same results,
while the weight of the charge was
changed in each instance. In addition
to it's greater destructive force the new
explosive offers advantages hitherto
sought In vain. Itcan be handled more
safely than gunpowder, which adds to
| its value In warfare. 1t force can also
be regulated and it is claimed to be at
least four times as powerful as dyna-
mite. Terrorite is not affected by
Earring or iolting, and so its transpor-
tation in cars or ships does not endan-
ger life.
Like dynamite it can not be exploded
by mere application OF fire. Dyna-
mite can not be relied upon after
1t has been stored for a number OF years.
The inventor of terrorite claims that It's
quality will not deterorate under any
conditions. This, of course, is matter
of conjecture as the United States en-
cheering department has not yet been
able to test this claim. Frequent
changes of temperature, even below the
freezing point, do not affect terrorlte 10
the same extent as dynamite, nor does
it disintegrate in contact with iron, cop
per, brass, zinc or any other metal.
The chief value of the new explosive
is that it can be used for artillery pur-
poses. 1t can be safely fired with gun
powder from any rifle or mortar. AT
the moment of explosion the she'll bursts
with greater force than II 1t were filled
with ordinary powder. Terrorite can
also be used in charging torpedoes or
submarine mines. A shell Of solid steel
weighing 1000 pounds thrown from a
13-inch steel rifle and filled with this
explosive would not only pierce 16-inch
armor, but would prove very destructive
when the contents were distributed.
Terrorite is an American invention.
The Mexican government has pur,
chased the right to use it both on land
and water. Mexican artillery officers

The Brilliant Maneuvres of the French
Armies.

The Brilliant Maneuvres Of the French
Armies.
PARIS, September On. de Frey
cinct, Minister. of War, witnessed yes
terday's military maneuvres.
General Davoust attacked General
Gallifet's army and drove it back TO the
valley of the Aube. General Gallifets
rear guard sustained the fighting, COW
ering the retreat Of the main body.
Both armies afterward crossed the
Aube and pressed forward rapidly in the
direction OF the Venduerre, in order to
seize advantageous positions for to-day's
battle. A pontoon party covered the
forty-six miles between Vitry and Bar
sur-Aube In twenty-five hours, and then
built a bridge across the river in forty
FIVE minutes.
The new artillery works with less
smoke than the guns Of the old model.
The infantry firing Of Gen. Jamonts
column was rapid and praiseworthy, and
would have decimated the enemy II the
fighting had been in earnest. All the
bread for the troops is baked in field
ovens. Six ovens at Bar-sur-Auoe have
I turned out 10000 loaves.
M. De Freycinet, had splendid re-
ception at Troyes, which city has been
displaying great popular enthusiasm in
connection with the military manen'
yres,

words, TO products actually consumed

cattle.

Three Of q Party of -Four Young People
Drowned While Crossing tho Ohio in n
Skin at Cincinnati.
CNcIYNArl, O., Aug. 1s.-A most
shocking river tragedy was added to the
dark list of such horrors on the Ohio
river this afternoon. A party OF two
girls and two young men entered q skill
at the foot Of Kemper lane for a pleas
ure ride.
aged eighteen, of this city, Miss Laura
Banberger, her guest, Of Chicago, Mr..
Emil Bloch, OF this city, and Mr.. Geo.
Solomon, of New York, his guest.
The party crossed the river, and in
doing SO encountered the waves of the
harbor steamer Rob Roy, going up
stream. Mr.. Bloch handled the oars
and rode the waves successfully until he
accidentally dropped an oar. The en-.
tire party attempted to regain it, and
while in that position wave struck the
boat and overturnedit, throwing all into
the water.
The boys were expert swimmers and
made heroic efforts to save the drown
ing girls. Bloch seized Miss Bamberger
and the two sank almost at once. Solo
mon went to the assistance OF Miss
Fechheimer and had nearly saved her
when her strength failed, and in the
swift current she was swept away. Sol
omon himself was only saved by the
help OF Joe Carter, u colored boy.
Search was begun for the bodies, but II
was not successful.
