The GREATEST GUN.

1t Stands Pressure of Thirty Tons to
tho Square Inch.
New YORK, Dec. 16.-The first firing
of the Brown segmental tube wire five
inch gun at Birdsboro, Pa, on Saturday,
the Sd inst, was made with the tubes
only rough bored, the object being
chiefly to test the working of the breech
mechanism rather than to experiment
with high pressure in the'g gun.
The results were very satisfactory
On the third fire. in which 1s pounds ot
powder and an S4-pound shot were used,
the breech mechanism worked perfect
ly and easily, and pressure of more thar
go, 900 pounds to the square inch.
This result was rather astonishing, bur
subsequent firings demonstrated thai
the pressure of over $4,000 pounds tS
the square inch obtained at the thirt
shot was absolutely accurate. The frs
fring OF the Brown segmental wire guI
without lining tube has shown, there
fore, that it will withstand absolutely
without lining tube, and without tn,
slightest injury, pressure that would
burst any other kind of a gun.

ON THE VERGE.
Mr.. Blaine Seized With a Sinking
Spell Sunday,
Aud for Half an Hour the Physicians
Battlcd with Death-He Rallies From
tho Attack ut Nightfnll, and May
Linger Tor Few Days Longer.

WAsHIyGToN, Dec. 19.-Never since
the stormy days of the war has the
peace and quietude of the Sabbath day
in this beautiful capital been so broken
and the people so severely shocked as
Sunday evening at late hour, when
the report of the death of Mr.. Blaine
was circulated with almost lightning
rapidity about the city. The report was
false, but founded upon circumstances
that appeared to warrant it, and al
though it was not unexpected, it came
like thunderbolt upon the citizens
among whom the ex-premier has long
lived and mingled.
Mr. Blaine had sinking spell Sun
rowly. During the day he has been
but little better, and it would hardly
be possible for him to survive another
sinking spell. James G. Blaine, ir,
said his father had rallied little in tho
afternoon, and that it was the opinion
Of the physicians that he would 1.-Two
through the night. ''Still," he added,
''it must be said that he is very dan
gerously ILL.,"
All day representatives of the press
patrolled Madison place and carefully
watched the old red mansion which
has become celebrated for its historical
associations and the fatality with
which misfortune has followed its occu-
pants. From the SiclfleS- Key tragedy,
which occurred more than third of q
century ago, followed by the attempted
assassination of Secretary Seward dur
ing the last year of the civil war, down
| to the present time, the pail of ill-fate
has hung over the mansion. During
the less than four years occupancy
| of this house by the Blaine family, his
| daughter, the wife of Col. Coppinger,
! Walker Blaine and Emmons Blaine, the
secretarys promising sons, have died.
A little after o'clock both doctors
left. Dr. Hyatt said that Mr.. Blaine's
condition showed a slight improvement
over the morning. They did not con-
slider it necessary to issue another bulle-
| tin similar to the one of Saturday night.
DR.. Hyatt said that he thought there
was no doubt that Mr.. Blaine would
live through the night, At the same
time he is undoubtedly critically i'll,
and any complications that may arise
would doubtless cause fatal termina-
ton to his illness A little after $3.50
o'clock Mr.. james G. Blaine, Jr., came
out and said to the reporter:
| 1--WE think that father is considerably
better than he was this morning.
He was dangerously i'll during the fore.
noon. During the afternoon, however,
he seems to have rallied somewhat.
The physicians have been here this
evening, and we now think that he will
live through the night and we hope fol
