CONSTRUCTION OF THE MOUNT.

This mount Is q complicated apparatus, which
takes as much work in its construction as the
gun itself, although it is decidedly less costly
and the preparation Of its various parts is dis
trlbuted among quite number of workmen.
The heavy guns for the battle ships are to be
mounted in pairs within turrets located forward
and aft, as stated above. The turrets them
selves reyolve laterally in every direction by
means of steam or hydraulic power In each
turret, and pointing through ports in it, will be
a pair of these thirteen-Inch rifles each riding
on a slide on which II moves in and out and
which is provided at the rear end with q NV
draulic ram, whereby the muzzle of each gun
can be elevated or depressed at the will of the
gunner. When the gun itself is finished and
the mount prepared for its reception the death
dealing weapon is pronounced complete and
ready to undergo rigid and repeated trial tests
at the Indian Head proving ground, Nd,
twenty-five miles down the Potomac. The pro-
cesses described in the foregoing paragraphs
are those which govern the manufacture Of all
the Dig guns now being made for the new
navy, not only the thirteeu-inch size, but also
the twelve. ten and eight-lnch The quickest
tme In which thirtecn-inch rifle can be made
Is from seven to eight months after receipt Of
lhe IorglnSs, whereas six-inch rifle may be
made inside of two months.
Concerning the probable lifetime of these bio
guns, little Is definitely known for the reason
,hit experience has not tried them, but il il
held mat they should have life of at least 500
rounds BY that number of discharges it is
supposed they will be rendered unfit for
seryice-not because of any mater al accident
or defect, but because of the erosion o- wearinr
away OF the inner bore, which, without render,

PENSION STAl lSTlCS.

Ohio leads all the states in che num-
ber of its pensioners. 1t has $4,000
Pennsylvania is second with $1,000, an6
New Y FORK third with $1,000. A hall
million dollars is sent every year to for,
eign countries in payment of pensions
Half of this sum goes to Canada alone
Eighty-five thousand dollars goes to
Great Britain and eighty thousand to
Germany. There are American pen
sioners on the Fiji Islands, in Bulgaria,
in Corea, in Liberia, in Roumania, and
almost every country under the sun.
The above statistics are official, from
the Commissioner of Pensions. A
great many citizens think that these
pensions sent to persons living in for
eign countries should be stopped.
They reason thus: If this country is
not good enough to live in, it is unfair

ESCAPED MURDERERS.

Their Bodies Found in the Hudson River
at Sing Sing-.-An Exciting Mystery.
SING SING, N. Y, May 1o.-[Special'l-
The body Of Frank Roehl, one of the
murderers who escaped from the prison
April 20, was found floating in the river
here, by fisherman today.
He saw another body, sup
posed to be the Murderer
Pallister near by, but couldn't get it,.
Roehl's body was badly decomposed, with
a bullet hole in his head. 1t 10 supposed
be quarreled with Pallister, who shot him.
This indicates that the prisoners had been
furnished with firearms by outside
parties. Another theory is that these men,
having nc hopes of escape, committed
suicide, by jumping into the river.

SOME STARTLING FIGURES OF REPUB.
LlckN REcKLESSNESS.

The irrepressible "W. A. T." of the

AT least 100 cities In the United
States own their electric lighting estab-
lishments. One out of every fifteen
electric light plants is a municipal
institution. Some of these cities are
lighted for 81 per lamp year. Albany,
Mo-; Crete, Neb.; Harrington, Kan;
Middletown, Pa, and Oxford, Ohio,
from the profits derived from the COM
mercial arc and incandescent lights
furnished by them are able to pay all
of the expenses of the plants and fur
nish the street lights without cost to
the taxpayer. This would seem to
make electric light cheaper than day
light, as no one was ever able to avoid
taxes with daylight.

ALL ABOARD FOR INDIANAPOLIS.

The twenty-seventh National En-
campment, G.. A. R, will be'held in In
dianapolis, September 4th to 9th, 1893.
Arrangements are being made in lib
eral way for what is expected to be the
most largely attended encampment in
the history of the Grand Army. The
arrangements for the entertainment
and amusement of the veterans will be
the most liberal that have ever been
made. A fund of $4,000 has been
raised by the citizens of Indianapolis
for expenses, and the plans are of a
character that assure the old veterans
that they will be literally taken care Of.
The charges of boarding houses, in
Guiding lodging and meals, range from
81 to 50 per day, and of hotels from 81
to 81 per day. There will be large
attendance from this section of Ohio.

days, the mother being ife-termer from
Belmont county, who has been In the
prison for several years. 1t might be too
much to say that such a scandal would be
impossible under any other administration
than that OF Governor Mckinley, who has
been very unfortunate In his selections OF
subordinateH, but the fact remains that
nothing OF the kind has ever before hap
pened,-East Liverpool Crisis.
This Is an outrage and disgrace of
the worst possible sort. The president
of the Ohio penitentiary board, Julius
Whiting, Jr., lives in Canton, and we
feel called upon to advise him to insti-
