Of subsequent investigation made by

OF subsequent investigation made by
capt. Birney, an ordnance eypert, on duty
at the War Department. Il is as follows:
Inc explosion at Chicago resulted from
defective plungers in the base percussion
fuses of the three two-inch shells These
plungers are cylinders of brass, filled with
lead, through which lead a pointed pin is
forced by pressure until the poin. Is in the
plane Of the forward face of the cylinder.
while the other end of the pin projects
about quarter of an inch beyond the rear
plane of the cylinder. This plunger is
placed in a cavity in the fuse plug, which
plug Is solid at the rear, and contains
percussion capsule at the front. So long
the cylinder of the plunger does not move
the point cannot strike the percussion Cap
sule. When the gun is fired the lead-filled
brass cylinder strips down over the pin.
leaving its point exposed. When, after fir
ing. the shell strikes a resisting object the
cylinder and pin fly forward, the point of
the pin strikes the percussion capsule and
the bursting charge of the shell is ignited.
Everything indicated that the light bat
terry officers had used great care with ref
erence to the packing and transportation of
their ammunition. and the defect discovered
was one that they could not have been ex-
pected to anticipate
THE defective fuses were manufactured
at Frankfort arsenal in 1885, and the ord
nance department accepts all responsibility
for the disaster. 80
steps have been taken to Immediately re-
move all the defective fuses issued and TO
replace them by others containing a plunger
operating upon an entirely different prin-
ciple. and it is believed that such an oc-
currence will, in future. be impossible"

STREET CAR REFORM.
A Suggestion rs to the End Seat I'm

Suggestion rs to the End Seat In
the Open Cars.
From the New York Tribune.
A lady who has occasion to travel on the
open cars frequently says that there is a
reform which passengers on those cars
might introduce on their own behalf, which
would contribute to the general comfort and
convenience. Il know most people prefer
the end seats" is the way she puts it, land
there is a good reason why they should
But it is a selfish reason. They want to be
where they can get off with the least
trouble. and perhaps they think they get
more air In that position. Now, suppose
four persons are sitting on one seat; that
leaves one vacancy, and naturally 1t is the
middle place. Whoever gets on must push
past two sitting passengers, for there Is not
room for them to stand and let the new
conner push by them. fFhe Tease is all the
ones IN which the seats face each other, for
then If all the places but one or two on
one pair of seats are filed there is a tangle
of feet to stumble through that is very en-
barrassing, especially to a woman. Now.
what the reformer should like to see intro
duced is this: Let the first passengers who
get on take the middle places, or at least
let them move up when others come aboard
Then Then those who get on Iss. not have to
possibility that when they get up to leave
the car they may have 10 GO out past some
OF the other passengers, bat there Is no
possible way of guarding against this that
can see. In entering a car however, all
trouble can be avoided, and 1t might be IL
few street car travellers would set about
ntr oducing The reform / have suggested
OF course, l don't expect to see a general
movement IN this direction Immediately, but

For Failing to Keep It's Contract Z,
Run Cnrs to Lincoln Avenue.

The plaintiff In her bill. after stating that
she is the widow of the late Martin Nc
Dewitt who died September Is. 1892, says
that on April f. 1855. she owned a parcel Of
land called Part of Prospect" An agree
nent was made between Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Dewitt and the railroad company, whereby
the latter was granted a right of way. sixty
feet wide, through the land referred to, in
consideration that Mr.. and Mrs. McDevitt
would pay the company within five years

tend its line along the right of way, and
after the extension was completed to run q
car thereon to Lincoln avenue at least once
in thirty minutes between 30 a. m. and 9
p. m, and at least once an hour up to p
M, and one car at IL p. m.
Although her husband and herself faith
fully carried out their side of the agree
ment, Mrs. McDevitt says, the railroad on
May I, 1888, ceased to run any car upon the
extension after p. m, and on January 1,
1894, ceased to run any cars upon the eX-
tension to Lincoln avenue. Further, the
land mentioned contained about twenty
three acres of suburban ground, and after
making the above agreement il was divided
into 49, building lots. The plaintiff claims
that by the default of the defendant in the
running of the cars she has been damaged
by the cutting of the right of way, and by
the occupation of her premises by the de-
PENDANT, and by the fact that the cessation
of the running of the cars has reduced the
1narket value of the lots at least twenty-five
cents per superficial foot. Therefore, dam
ages are asked in the sum named.

THEY FOLLOWED THE BAND.
And Now They Will spend Six Months
----- JaIl.

jail.
A band of music leading a funeral process
sion yesterday afternoon attracted what
seems to be the necessary accomplishments
crowd of colored men, women and children,
who took full possession of the streets as is
usual in such cases. and did The usual
amount Of prancing and dancing. 1t Is not
customary for the police to prevent such
scenes unless there Is a fight or trouble Of
some kind. although on several occasions a
number of arrests have been made.
Yesterday some of the negroes departed
from the general rule when the band, on it's
return, reached the neighborhood Of Sth and
n streets and the crowd came In contact
with Sam Kings banana wagon.
Then there was a general rush made for
the ripe fruit. and 1t soon disappeared from
the wagon. Rody Rice. the leader Of the
negro raiders, carried a club, and with IL
he inflicted a serious blow. The proprietor
Of the wagon and stock caught the blow on
his arm and received a painful wound.
Precinct Detective Barnes and Policeman
Laurenceson were on hand, and they sue
ceeded in capturing Rice. the leader, and
Edward Gray and Charles Edwards
Judge Mills heard the proof in the case
today. The injured foreigner was in court
with his arm In sling and the policemen
as citizens, told the story of the raid made
on the cart go.
The prisoners denied the charge
Judge Mills. showed by his remarks that
he is decidedly opposed to these disgraceful
exhibitions on the streets.
Every time there is a band of music on
the Streets the judge remarked, 1.-THE negro
roughs turn out in large numbers and take
charge of the streets. Men, women and
children alike follow the bands and make a
public nuisance of themselves which is a
mehaoe..to the rights of respectable citizens
In this case the prisoners seem to have
taken a new departure and committed rob-
berry in addition to making a nuisance of
themselves"
In conclusion the judge told the prisoners
that they might have been charged with
highway robbery and sent to the peniten-
tiary but the attorney had only charged them
with larceny, and he would stamp his con-
demnation of their conduct by giving them
six months in jail without fine.

IT REACHED THE MINT.
Bogus Gold Brick Which Passed
the Omcials of the Bank.

From the Denver News.
The branch mint in Denver received a
nice. big. shiny gold brick from the First
National Bank of Albuquerque. There were
566 ounces in 1t, and the noted express
value was $1,000. The true value for that
quantity of cure gold would be about
1000. When in due course the mint peo-
pie got around to melting that brick to de-
termine it's value they took their hammers
and chisels and proceeded to chop 1t up.
They found it hard and tough. They pound
ed II and turned IL around in various ways
and labored over it, finally reducing it to
pieces. All the time not thought entered
their heads but that It was all right and
into the refining furnace 1t went. For five
hours the hottest fire that the resources of
the establishment could produce was kept
at work, while the attendants wiped the
drops of perspiration from their brows and
wondered what was the matter with the
thing. When at>the expiration of the five
hours there was not a trace of gold in
sight the experts from high and low were
summoned to see what they could make out
of 1t. Each applied all the tests of his art,
but at last they were compelled to give 1t
up, SO far as finding any gold was concern
ed. and the conclusion was forced upon
them that whatever the mysterious COM
pound might be 1T was not gold.
Then they set the mixture aside and sat
around 1t waiting for 1t to cool off and
wondering what the bank people had nail
for 1t, and where they got It, After 1t was
cool the assayer tried his hand to deter
mine what 1t really was made out of, and
decided that there wasn't a metal present
except copper and zinc. There was not the
slightest indication of either gold or silver.
Stories Of gold-brick swindles are as old
as gold itself, but this Is the first known
instance where the fraud escaped detec-
ton till the bogus brick actually reached
the mint. The victims are usually persons
afflicted with the double burden Of greed
and greenness. who are made to believe
that they are getting the brick for less
than its value. because it was stolen. About
four years ago a Denver lawyer had the
nerve to attempt to palm off a bar of anti
mony as silver at the branch mint here,
and that is the only previous incident bear
ing close resemblance to the present

THE HIGHEST TOWER,

1t is an English Structure ana Con

From the Ashton Reporter.
At wembley Park, which 10 about six
miles from the heart OF London, there IL IN
| the course of erection. at the present time.
| tower the total height OF which will be
1,150 feet-175 feet higher than the EisYel
Tower. Unlike the latter tower, which
gazes down on the houses and roofs OF the
crowded city, the wembley Tower crowns
an eminence of the beautiful wemSley
Park. affordfng a lovely view OF the sur
rounding country. 1t will be a strange
sight to look at the birds flying In the trees
so far beneath one, for at the foot CT the
| tower is a famous rookery, where the rocks
gather and chatter from morning til night
few years ago the building OF such
towers as these would have been impossible
1t is only with the new methods OF hand
ling steel and iron girders that such struct-
ures can be successfully got up Over l5O
men are now employed fitting pieces of the
tower together, and it is wonderful what
rapid progress they make. The foundations
which have to support such tremendous
weight above them have TO be laid In place
and kept there for a long time to allow for
the settling in the earth. There are four
legs at the base, and each leg IS composed
of four smaller legs, or, better feet These
rest on tremendous foundations that We're
placed in position over two years ago. These
foundations are made of stone and com
crete. upon which are fastened the iron
plates TO which the legs are attached. The
material of which the tower proper is com
posed is called mild steel"
There is not such a network of in.rica te
little girders which we see in the Elfel
Tower; the spaces are more open ana the
tower appears to be narrower and lighter
in the air. The lifts" which are TO carry
the people to the top of the observatory
are four In number. Two Of them 60 up 20
the first platform only, which is at a height
of $50 feet from the ground, and two will
go up TO geo feet, where there is to be an
upper landing. Above this there viii be
several smaller landings, TO be reached by
stairs only
