SANDY Hook, March 29-The new dis

ing test. The machine is a triumph for
American skill and genius, and is the
flrst carriage of the kind that has been
successful. large number of tests have
been made by England, Germany, France
and Russia to find just such carriage as
this, but all were unsuccessful. The gun
was mounted on the parapet of the old
ratification, with the muzzle turned
toward the lightship. When prepared to
load no part of the gun could be seen
from the beach in front of the parapet
but the moment the loading was COM
pleted the machinery was set at work and
IN an instant big gun weighing g. 900
pounds was raised above the wall. The
elevation for fire is eight feet from the
load position. The gun was fired with an

The time elapsing from the completion of
the load position to the recovery, after
reaching the firing position and dropping
back, was less than half a minute, and it
IS estimated that the gun could be hosted,
hred and lowered to its original position
IN less than twelve seconds. The gun
used to-day was one of the new ten-inch
steel rifles, and the projectile used
weighed SO pounds. The carriage was
designed by H. II. Spiller. one of the de-
signers of the Terror, and was built
under his direction by the South Boston

There is great money loss to the CITY on

visitors are leaving the city, not knowing
where the next blow will strike. There
is no denying the fact that the expressed
intention OF the anarchists to inaugurate
reign OF terror has caused consterna-
ton. An important meeting of the au-
thorities was held at the Ministry of the
Interior to-day. The situation was dis
cussed in all its bearings, and it was ar
ranged to execute stringent measures for
the prevention Of future outrages. The
residences of prominent officials are
guarded day and night. Thevenet, ex-
Minister OF Justice, has received a threat
enlng letter. Judge Benoit, against whom
the recent explosion in the boulevard st.
German was directed, has been notified
to quit by the landlord, who saws if the
Judge remains the tenants will leave.

SPOKANE (Wash.), March 29.-At 2

time and was not yet cold in death. Half

wsfe, when the discovery was made that
she was dead.
On the table in the room was found this
note: Il love my IL. l am to blame for
1t all. Al, forgive me, my darling"
The opinion is about evenly divided be-
tween murder and suicide. Layton re-
fuses to talk. The couple had been quar-
reling violently for two days. Some be-
heve that in fit of desperation the
woman shot herself. Others believe that
she wrote the note and started to leave
Layton, but met him at the door and was
murdered. This belief is strengthened
by the fact that when found the woman
was clad in cloak, hat and gloves. The

WASHINGTON, March %. The free

Many believe it will be found impossible
TO get them.
The most jubilant members of the

future Of the Democratic majority. and

this effect Tonight. and said this action is
the death of the old Democratic organiza-
ton, particularly in the South.
The notice given in the Senate this af-
ternoon by Stewart of his intention To
call up his free silver coinage bill Mon
day created sensation, Notwithstanding
the tact was expected, IN view OF the set
back the Bland bill had received in the
House, that the struggle must, sooner OF
later, be transferred to the Senate AS far
as can be learned, Stewart appears to
have acted on his own responsibility in
precipitating the issue. 1t is said by
some of the silver men that Speaker
Crisp urged them to pass the silver bill in
the Senate and let it come over to the
House, when it would be in sition
much more favorable for action than if il
came before the House III the shape of the
original report from the Coinage Com
mittee.
Some of the Republican silver Senators
are unable 70 see the force OF this reason
ing and fear the Speaker is playing for a
party advantage, which might be ex-
pected To follow the passage OF the silver
bill by the Republican Senate, even by
the fundamentally of Democratic votes.

Quoted the post mortem examination of
the bodies of Mrs. Deeming and her four
children, found buried undf the floor at
the Denham Villa, Rainhill, said to a
representative of the Associated Press:
'"rhe crime discloses calculating wicked
ness and cool, heartless savagery almost
beyond belief. 1t was the work of a muir
DER expert. Only in one case the stroke
causing death was more than sufficient
for the purpose. Each stroke severed a
vital organ, and no more might have
been accomplished by q surgeon or
butcher who knew Vhe business Welt
The mother and children had partaken
of the evening meal. The mother was
first called into room where the muir
derer was awaiting her. 1t appears that
as she stopped to unite her shoe she was
attacked from behind, and died almost
without a struggle. Then the children
were called one by one to meet their
death. Bertha, the eldest, had her thumbs
tied behind her back. A similar bandage
was wound twice around her head, so as
to cover her mouth and keep her from
crying. A pillowcase was placed over
her head, and the murderer strangled
her. The hands of the second girl were
also tied behind her back, but in the case
OF the other children this precaution was
not thought necessary.
'One other and sinister fact is that al
though the threats of four out of five of
the victims were cut, on none of the
bodies or the clothing was there trace of
blood. The very terms of the lease upon
which Deening hired the Dinham Villa
gave proofo of hideous, cold blooded, pre-
meditated butcher. A document which
was drawn up and written by Deeming
himself shows that when he took the
house an atrocious brutality was planned.
Taken altogether, it is believed that no
country ever produced such consum-
mate, utterly unprincipled and wholly
constituencies villain as this fiend in
human form, who killed the woman and
her children with as little conjunction
as an ordinary man would kill snake"
