Got Into a Gas N1aia Last Night and Shut
OF the Flow.
Between eight and nine hundred Gus
toners of the gas company were in the
dark about an hour last night
When the gas was lighted early in the
evening the flow was exceedingly weak
and the lights kept burning lower con
stantly until about o'clock when the
supply stopped entirely and the lights
all over the city went out.
The cause of the stoppage was the
clogging up of the large gas main near
the gas works by an accumulation of
napht halene.
Naphthalene is a white crystalline
substance which Judge Clark Of the gas
company says is likely to accumulate
and stop the pipes at any time. He says,
however, that Superintendent r. E.
Cowdry is an expert in. looking after
such things, and he generally succeeds
in removing the deposit before the lights
go out. Last night he discovered and
removed the accumulation within fifteen
minutes of the time the supply OF gas
was cut entirely off. Before nine o'clock
the gas was burning all right all over

LARGEST RIFLED GUN.
1t Will Throw u Shell Weighing a

It will Throw u Shell Weighing a
Ton When Completed.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-If the board
on Notifications accepts several propo-
sitions made by Norman Wizard, aud the
latter is able to carry out his engage
menrs, the United States will be in pos
session of by far the largest and most
powerful rifled gun in the world and the
means will be on hand for the easy CON
version of what is now obsolete ordnance
into the most effective modern rifles
MIR. Wizard made his prOposiuons TO
the board during the present session and
was heard at length in explanation OF
the details of his projects. FIRST he
asked the board to made an allowance
for the Reading Wizard 12-inch rife,
which he has brought almost to the point
of completion. This is an Old Rodman
smooth bore cast-iron quo converted into
rife. and Mr.. Ward told the board that
this weapon would show one-third mOre
energy than any other 12-inch rife, could
be fred more rapidly and would show
greater endurance than the best of the
modern built up expensive steel guns.
Next he offered to take the 2O-inch
smooth bore cast iron Rodman gun just
removed as obsolete from the earthwOrks
at Fort Lafayette, New York harbor, and
convert this into 20-inch rife As the
largest rifle in any service Is 16-inch cal
ibre. this would be the greatest r.f1e
ever made. The 16-iuch guns have all
failed, but Wizard asserted to the board
that this 2o-inch rife would stand
extremely rapid firing, endure at
least 100 rounds in ten hours
and throw a shell weighing ton with
an energy far SURPRISING any shot on
record.
The last proposition is to build an all
steel high powered l6-inch rifle which he
guarantees to excel in endurance and
power any service gun of like size in the
world and TO possess the remarkable
property of becoming stronger with
every shot fired from it This last prop
erty is to be secured by some peculiarly
of construction that is not yet fully dis
closed. The board has taken these prop
ositions under consideration.
