Another Death Dealer.

A friend of NJ. Turpin, the inven-
tor Of the explosive, melinite, has
furnished to the press certain de-
tails regarding NJ. Turpin's latest
invention. This consists of a spe-
cies of mitrailleuse, of very light
character, drawn by two horses
and served by four men, and for
which it is claimed that in a single
discharge it can fire $4,000 projec-
tiles, to a distance of $500 meters,
(over two miles,, covering geomet-
really a distance of $4,000 square
meters. In the inventors opinion,
merchant ships could be converted
into powerful armed cruisers by
its EMPLOYMENT.

Retrenchment.

The King of DahOmey was sore
distraught. The cares of state were
pressing heavily upon him and his
brow was clOuded, with white
clouds, of course.
The Grand Vizier awaited the
commands of the sovereign.

"that this expenditure is necessary,
to preserve the autonomy of the
realm""

"And is war not to be avoided?"

The puissant ruler pOndered.
"There is but one way OUT
His lips were firmly set when at
last he gave speech unto his
thoughts.
-"Of it. We must institute a
rigorous retrenchment. Kindly
tell the ice-man that he needn't

Superint ntendent MeGovern OF the Whit

ter, stated that the berth used by his line
YESTERDAY was assigned TO the Mendocino
Lumber Company. Some time ago he had
applied 10 the chief wharfinger for leave to
land his boat at some more convenient
place on SUNDAYS.
The Chief Wharfnger had replied that
he could not take possession of any berth
without permission from the party to
whom it had been assigned. McGovern
said that he had thereupon obtained the
necessary permission from the MendOcino
Lumber Company. and with that had oc-
cupied the berth.

pass the Barton on their way to the Davie-

number of passengers, but bv no means as
large number as her owners expected.

WHY THE DELAY .?
The BaWnmOre Still on
the Mud Flats.
Reported CoIlusion Between Bidders.
The Insurance Said to Have
Been Compromised.

There has been much speculation among
shlpplng men concerning the unreasona-
bly, long delay in disposing of repairs to
the British steamer Bawnmore. which was
wrecked July 9 on GordO Rock and res
cued few days afterward by the steamers
Weentt and Emily, which latter vessel was
totally wrecked the following week at
Coos Bay. The Bawnmore received tenn
porary repairs at Hunters Point drydock
and has lain on the Mission mudflats since
July 16.
CaHtain Goodside asked for bids for re-
pairs. Three were rendered but consid-
cred too high. The matter of repairs were
then turned over to the underwriters, who
advertised for bids, receiving exactly the
same tenders, except that one bid was re-
duced S5 and the other 81 80. The lowes
pld was $4,000 and the others considerably
above this sum- which led the underwriters
10 believe that there had been colusion
between the concerns who presented pro-
posalS.
TIE damage to the steamer consisted of
one large hole in her bottom, involving
about twenty plates, and thirty other
plates more or less broken and bent. The
entire rudder frame was twisted and will
nave To come out A man very well in
formed on the subject said yesterday TO a
OALL reporter that S25, 600 would be big
pay to restore the Bawnsmore, but the
three concerns had "cInch" on the job
and did not propose to lose the opportunity
OF picking ripe. rich plum.
III Is stated on W hat seems good authority
that the owner, Mr.. Goodside of Liverpool,
q brother of her commander, has COM
promised with the underwriters for
$4,000, this being the combined cost cf
repairs and of salvage, which the owners
OF the Emily and the Weeott are certain
to get In the United States Circuit Court
The Bawnsmore was valued at S150, ZOO

Dissatisfied with the bids received and

SIDE, the owner, has started for San Fran
cisco. and is due to arrive here on the Sth
OF next month. He would like to sell his

being able to dispose of her 1t is under

KILLED BY TRAIN.
Councilman Watkinson
Made a Mistake.
Forty-Seven Persons Were Sent to
Death by Cars of the South
ern Pacific.

Mr.. Watkinson. representing the South
ern Pacific Railroad in the Oakland
| Council, stated at the last meeting of tha I
BODY that the trains in Oakland and its
vicinity had not caused more than ten
deaths since the railroads charter was
granted in addition to the mortalities
caused by persons jumping from cars.
The records OF the Coroner of Alameda
County show Mr.. Watkinson to be in
error Forty-seven people have been
killed by these trains from February 10,
1891, to August %. 1S93-two years and
six months. There was no necessity of
going further back in order to show ore
completely the terrible death list. OF these
fOrty-seven persons two were coupling
cars and four were jumping off; the other
forty-oue were "struck by the engine"
