A happy bride in Boone county
overcame the objections entertained
by her father-in-law to hisson's mar
riage by the seductive Offering of a
mule colt. The Missourian who
could stand out against such bribe
has not yet been discovered. While
this incident illustrates the cupidity
of human nature it also exempIifies
the power of an absorbing and un'
selfish love.

Great Care Being Taken to Protect the

special TO the RECoRD-UNI0N.
WASHINGTON ID. c., Aug. 25.-It was
announced in these dispatches of last
week that train bearing the mate to Big
Betsy, the Pinch cannon shipped to the
coast several months ago, and which at
tracted much attention, was being loaded
on a car specially prepared for the pur-
pose, together with two other cannon OF
smaller caliber.
The car is to be ready and will leave
Washington for San Francisco tomorrow.
via the Pennsylvania Railroad. Hun
dreds of people are visiting the yards OF
the Pennsylvania Company TO view these
monster cannon, This train will rival
in interest the gold train' lately arrived
in New York. 1t will be of seven cars.
starting from the navy yard, and will
carry the three great guns that go to COM
plete the armament or the United States
steamship Monterey, now lying at Mare
Island.
The guns are a triumph of mechanical
skill and Captain O'Neil, Inspector of
Ordnance, may be pardoned for feeling
particularly proud of the work which
passes through his hands.
The guns, while packed for shipment,
are not in particularly good shape to show
off their delicacy of adjustment and their
general beauty of mechanism, but the
care with which they are sent gives some
idea of the value that is attached to the
huge mass of steel.
There are two 10-inch guns in the ship
ment and one Pinch. The former are
thirty-one feet long and the latter thirty
six feet nine inches. A special flat car is
appropriated to each of them, and on
each car has been built sort of wooden
cradle in which the gun lies like a ship
on the ways. Wooden plugs close the
orifices at the breech and muZzle, and are
held in place by an iron rod running
through the barrel. Every bolt and screw
hole is filled with soft wooden plugs. and
the whole of the exposed metal is coated
with white paint to prevent rusting. The
larger of them weighs fifty tons, and the
other two forty tons each. But this is
only a small part of the total weight of
the shipment.
The aggregate weight of the mount is
100000 pounds.
The projectiles for the smaller guns
weigh 500 pounds EACH and those of the
larger 80. The weight of the powder in
each case is about half that of a shot.
Every part of the guns and mount" as
the carriages are called, is the work of
the navy yard shops, except the original
steel tubes, of which the gun barrels and
their jackets are made, and these come in
the form of castings from the Bethlehem
Works in Pennsylvania, and are turned
out in the gun shops. The work is a
marvel of accuracy, being carried to
.000i of an inch. This requires the serv-
ice of only the most skilltul mechanics,
working under rigid inspection.

MONTREAL, Aug. 25.-The provincial
authorities have addressed communities
ton to the Dominion Government calling
attention to the danger of cholera infec-
tlon by means of the Hamburg American
line OF steamers plying between here and
hamburg, cholera being prevalent in
Hamburg, and asking that for the rest of
the season Port Inspectors be appointed,
both here and in Quebec, with full power
10 inspect vessels coming from infected
ports, and if necessary to prevent the
landing of people on board such vessels.
The officer also should have full power to
dlseniect any vessels and take all the
precautions necessary to prevent cholera
reaching these shores, Meantime, the
local sanitary authorizes have been
written to, informing them of the matter
| and asking them TO join with the Prov
1nclal Board of Health in insisting upon

Government is also urged to take extra
precautions at quarantine stations.
PRECAUTIONS ON THIS sIDE.
NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Commissioner
Mule of the Quarantine Board was seen

Board was taking every precaution to
Keep the dreaded scourge within the pre-

being done to ward off the disease. DIR.
Cyrus Edison, Sanitary Superintendent,
says: Personally | feel very secure in

lawful is not enough. Before it is done
1t must be seen to have the undoubted
warrant of law. There is but one way in
which this can be assumed-that is, by
the sentence of a competent court of JUS
tlce again pronounced in due course of
law.
1.-The Penal Code (Section 1920 provides
that II for any reason a judgment of
death yet in force mas not been executed
the court must order the defendant to be
brought before it, and if no legal reason
exists against the execution of the judg
ment must make an order that the Sher-
iff execute the judgment at a specific
time
Now, the judgment of death pro-
nounced against McNulty has not been
executed within the time fixed by the
court. /, therefore, have now in my
hands no warrant commanding me to eX-
ecute McNulty tomorrow or at any other
time"
