SUCCESSFUL TEST.
Good Luck of the Carnegies With
Armor Plate.


Armor Plate.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Carnegie
Steel company had better luck with it's
armor plate yesterday than at Indian
Head few weeks ago. The plate
cracked badly and the company were
given another test. also at Indian Head
proving grounds. The government,
however, has the right to demand still
another test before it accepts the 800
tons of nickel steel armor involved IN
the test. The plate tested is part of the
1111a-inch barbette armor of the battle
ship Monadnock, and is of curved form
alton. There was first fired at it $50
pound solid shot of hard cast stee. An
eight-inch rifle and Seventy-two quarter
pounds of powder were used. Success
depended upon whether or not the plate
would crack. The projectile penetrated
twelve Quarter-lnches, including the ar
NOR and plank backing, and then re
bounding, split into three pieces. A
load of ninety-eight half-pounds of pow
der and $50 pound shot was then fired,
this test being for penetration, and the
plate coming up to a standard if The
plate was not cracked and the shot did
not go through plate and backing. The
shot penetrated the steel plate, bnt I'M
bedded itself in the backing. sc this test
was likewise considered successful.

DULUTH, Mimi, Feb. 1.-THE board
Of trade building was destroyed by fire
shortly after noon today. The total loss
foots up $4,000. $4,000 on building and
the remainder on furniture and records
of the board and the grain and vessel
men who tenanted it. The insurance
foots up $4,000, $4,000 of 1t on build
Ing. The fire was discovered early, and
the department was soon on hand, but
no water could be had. probably be-
cause the hydrants were frozen. If
water had been obtainable the loss
would have been much curtailed. As it
is the contents of the building were en-
tirely destroyed, and only the topping
walls remain. Both telegraph COM
panies were located in the building, and
their losses were total, though covered
by blanket policies. Both are again re-
located. The fire will doubtless spur
the board of trade TO the immediate
construction of its new building at First
street and Third avenue west. There
were several narrow escapes, but no
one was seriously injured. 1t required
the best work of the fire department to
prevent the flames spreading to adjoin-
ing buildings. Nearly all the grain and
vessel men in the city had offices in the
building. Most of them have taken
quarters in the Torrey building. and
the board is likely to take temporary
quarters there

THRILLING HoosIER TRIAL.
The Face Of Witness Pounded
to Pulp.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Feb. 11.-Justice
Criss' court, at Centreville, town six
teen miles south of this city, was the
scene of bloody fight yesterday after
noon, in which knives were drawn and
almost tragedy resulted. John ALI. a
respected and wealthy farmer, de-
fendant in damage suit for
5000 for coaxing William Carpenters
wife from her home, assaulted the COM
plainantin the witness stand and beat
his face to pulp. The fight lasted
nearly half an hour, and the court room
was Smeared with blood. Knives were
drawn, and only for the presence OF
mind of the justice in swearing in six
constables, The court room would un-
doubtedly have been turned into the
scene of a fatal affray. The trouble
which led up to the courtroom fight
has evidently existed for some time.
William Carpenters wife left him on
Dec. IL last, and he accused John All
and Andrew Dean, both married and
respected farmers, with coaXing Mrs.
Carpenter from him. Carpenter sued
Dean and All for 5000 damages. In his
complaint he charges defendants with
using their influence to make
ueI IedVc nome. JOfln All, curing
his statement of the case, was
called liar several times by Carpenter,
who was listening to the testimony. All
did not heed the charges, and when
Carpenter was called to testify he ac-
cused ALPS brother of stealing a cow,
and again called All liar. The repeated
charges became unbearable to All,
who, on being called liar the fourth
time, Jumped OH Carpenter and
pounded bis face in horrible manner.
The jurymen, justice, attorneys and
audience rushed TO part the infuriated
men. A number took their coats off,
and friend of Carpenter drew knife,
and threatened to stab some one.
When All was taken off Carpenter
the latter drew knife and made a des-
perate effort to plunge it into ALL.
When prevented from doing this, he
attempted to leave the court room, as
he announced, to get gun to shoot All.
A moment after the fight began the
justice called ont six men and swore
them in as constabies When Carpen-
ter and All were parted the friends
OF both parties wanted to fight
and the coDstable5 had difficulty in
holding the men apart. Peace was re-
stored, however, after half all hour, and
the trial was continued i'll the blood.
smeared room. From beginning to end
the trial lasted six hours, and resulted
Ill verdict in favor of Dean and All.
All and Carpenter were fined for con-
tempt. After the trial the friends of
both parties gathered at the different
saloons and had several fights as the
outcome OF the court room row.

Because Their Wages Have Been
Seriously Out.

LAWRENCE, Mass, Feb. IL = The
1,500 employees in the Washington mills
are out on strike against the proposed
reduction in wages, and propose to stay
out until their demands are granted.
There is considerable indignation ex-
pressed by the operatives against the
company, and the weavers claim that
their wages recently have only ranged
from S5 to 81 per week. The manage
ment of the mills state that "the reduc-
ton is made reluctantly. and is abso-
lutely necessary if the mills continue in
operation" The statement says: The
general business situation is responsible
for the conditions that make this ad-
justment of wages necessary and en-
tirely beyond the control of the COM
