The Harvey Armor Plate Test Remark
ably Successful in England.
Special to The JERSEY Cay Neps.
NEWARK, Nov. 5. ls92.-The caplegram
received from England yesterday by the
Harvey Steel Works, of this city. an
nouncing the remarkable success of the
English Governments test of the Ameri-
can Harveyized armor plate in Ports
mouth Harbor on Tuesday, was as graft
flying to MI. Harvey's employees as it was
a personal triumph TO their employer, who
is the inventorof the method employed in
the treatment of the plate tested.
The plate under notice was prepared
for the trial by Joseph Dickinson. of Jer-
sey City, whom the Harvey Steel Works
sent to Sheffield, England, last July and
who established a furnace there for that
purpose and for future use. The plate
was afhxed to the stem of the A~dmiralty's
proving hulk Nettie and was eight feet
high, six feet wide and ten and one-half
inches thick. 1t was attacked by @ six
incn breach-loading rifle, firing three
Holtzer and two Palliser armour-piercing
prolectlles weighing 100 pounds each, with
the usual velocity adopted in all the Adj
miralty tests of ]. 975 feet a second. Not a
single crack in the plate WAS developed and
HI the proJectiles were completely destroy
ell. 1t Is thought by experts 10 be the
most important lest that has taken place
IN EnglanQ and may result in the English
Government adopting the Harvey pro.
cess. Another feature about the process
is the possibility of reducing the armor oil
naval vessels by three or four inches and
thus tighten the load q increase the
carrying capacity. A fourteen inch plate
is now being made at Bethlehem, aud after
being "Haryeyized," is then to be submit
ted to the most extreme test pussible. At
indian Head, on the Potomac River. the
hrst curved plate, similarly treated, is to
be tried at an early date.
The signers of the c~ablegram bearing
congratulations upon the success OF the
English test are Edwin NJ. Fox, agent of
the Harvey Company abroad; Admiral
Colcomb, of the Royal Navy; General
Geary, of the Royal Artillery, at Ports
mouth, on the staff of the Duke of Con-
naught; Douglas Vickers, managing
director OF Vickers, Son g. Co., one OF
the largest BRUSH armor plate manufac-
t%urers. ana Colonel w. w. Barlow, of the
Royal Artillery, who. until his recent re-
tirement, was also Superintendent of the
Royal Arsenal at Woolwich.
Owing to the prejudice against any
thing American it was at first very diff
hcult TO bring about the trial.
Within a few weeks the Harvey Steel
works here will abandon the manufac.
ture of nearly all the other steel work
which the works have been turning out
since they were established, four years
ago. This move is owing to the success
attending the Harvey process. About
twenty-five hands will be thrown out of
employment.

TAX RATES IN NEW JERSEY.

Special TO Ihe JERSEY City NetUS.
TRENTON, Nov. 5, 1892 The inhabitants
of the township OF Greenwich, Warren
county, have the distinction of being the
least taxed OF any people of this State.
The rate in the township is seventy cents
for every 500. or 81 a 1000. The highest
rate in the State is in the borough of
Rutherford. Bergen county, and is $3.73
per 500, or $37.3 80 on every ST, 900 of valua-
zion. This is higher than the tax rate of
any of the large cities. In Newark the
rate is $l.S7, in Jersey City it is $2.S4 and
in Paterson. 50. 80.
These rates are taken from the State
Board of Assessors report for the coming
year., and form the basis for the distribu-
tion of the railroad tax collected by the
State for the localities. The rates all over
the State are generally higher than last
year.. In Franklin, Essex County, where
the rate last year was $50, a reduction
has been made to IS. 42.

Vote the Whole Ticket.

oaatater IasN nights overwhelming
demons t~ration, no shade Of doubt
remains concerning the result in New
Jersey, SO far as the Presidential con-
test is concerned. The uprising of the
people to do honor TO Grover Cleve-
land shows that he has their regard
and confidence in unmeasured degree.
The demonstration was not one of Gu
riosity, like that infinitely feebler one
which marked the visit of Whitelaw
Reid, the enemy of labor and the
snobbish trucker to the money power.
1t was an unmistakable, heartfelt dis
play of popular admiration. 1t was
an unqualified pledge of devoted sup
port in the great struggle which is so
near at hand.
But democrats must remember that,
in casting their votes for Grover
Cleveland for President, they only do
part of their duty. They owe him
full and effective support in both
houses of Congress. To secure this,
they must vote solidly for the Demo
cratic candidates for representatives
to Congress, and they must vote sol
idly for the Senators and..Assembly-
men who are to elect, next January, a
United Senator for this State. What
a blot would it not be upon the Dem
ocracy of New Jersey if the hands
of Grover Cleveland were tied through
the four years of his term by a
Senate kept Republican by the failure
of this State to do its duty to the
party to which it has been so long
faithful.
1t is the duty of every democrat,
too, to vote for George 7. Werts for
governor. NOT only is he most emil
nently fitted for the office, but also
the continued ascendency of the party
is involved in keeping it at the head
of the State Government. Democracy
is not for today, but for the ages to
come, and no conscientious democrat
can vote to do anything that will
weaken the party now or in the
future.
Oar most strenuous appeal to every
democrat is to vote the Democratic
ticket-the whole ticket from alpha to
omega, for thus only can The party be
made safe.

ST. Louis, Sept. 14,--John Davis, 70
years old, is lying at his home in pre-
carious condition, with chances all
against his recovery. lice ilntsell, 20
years younger, is at the City Hospital
suffering intensely, but improving grad
ually, with chances in favor Of recovery
after long siege.
These men arr each suffering from
bites inflicted by the other. Davis is
one of the best-known horse trainers in
tho west and is man of considerable
wealth. Hutsell was his assistant, and
the two men have been close friends for
twenty years.
A week ago last Saturday the two
men quarreled at the fair grounds, and
Davis seized pitchfork and dealt
llutsell savage blow. They fought
like demons, and the stable boys having
removed the pitchfork, the quondam
friends were left TO fight it out with
natures weapons. Hutsel tried to
gouge Davis eyes out, and had the
thumb almost bitten from his right
hand. Davis tried to choke Hut
sell, and the latter bit the first joint off
the index finger of Davis left hand.
The fight lasted for over half an hour,
and only ended when tho men were too
exhausted to continue.
The two men had their wounds
dressed Two days after the fight Hut
sells arm began to swell. Two days
later the limb was three times its natural
size, and the swelling had gone TO the
body. Hutsell made his way to the dis
pensary. DIR. Fitzpatrick sent him at
once to the City Hospital. There Dir.
Marks examined the patient. Hutsell
was In a serious condition. His eyes
jumped nervously, and the muscles Of
his body twitched continuously, giving
the appearance of st. Vitus' dance. In
addition Hutsell's speech was affected
DIR. Marks at once treated lIutsell,
and llutsell will probably be able to
leave the institution in the course of a
week, Not SO with Davis. He paid no
attention to his wounded finger, and
kept on with his training. The hand
began to swell and Davis says the agony
was understandable. In his own words,
lie did not sleep 20 minutes during the
10 days which elapsed after he received

extended to the arm, and that member

escaped with their lives, the cook being

Mhtc Armstrong says that the vessel
left Kobe on the morning Of July 22d
and had tine weather and sea until the
next morning, when typhoon burst
upon them with such suddcaness that
the men had no time to even take in sail.
The ship was beaten about and was soon
rendered unmanagCablc, The force of
the wind tore the sails to shrcds and the
clothes OIL the mems backs. The waves
dashed over the vessel, and it seemed
that every moment would be tho last.
A monster wave soused into the galley,

carrying him out into the sea. lie dis

suddenly the ship was lifted high
