Death Of Eu.tnce J. Collett.

Mr.. Collett was born in France fifty-seven
years ago, and came to America while a
young man. He entered the service of the
Union as an engineer at the outbreak of
the civil war and served throughout the

fcient. Later he became secretary of the
mixed claims commission, and on the dis

in the Typographical division up to the
time of his last illness.
Mr. Collett was a member of the Cosmos

DIRECT TO CoLoRED FIREMEN.
Engineers on the Southern Railway
May Make Protest.


There is said to be considerable dissatis-
faction among the employees of the South
ern railway over the recent move of the
president of the road in providing for the
appointment of colored men as firemen on
its trains 1t has only been within the last
three weeks that this innovation has been
made on this road, although a number of
the other roads in the south employ colored
crews throughout. with the exception of
the engineers and conductors. 1t is said
that a meeting of the engineers of the
Southern railway will be held in Alexan-
dria tomorrow to demonstrate against the
new order of affairs, and that some of the
more hot-h headed among them have already
been agitating the question of strike in
the event that the order of the president
of the road is rigidly enforced.
At the Office of the road in this city moth
ing has been heard of any discomfort among
the men, and the local officials are inclined
to treat the matter very lightly. One OF
them told q Star reporter this morning that
the only colored firemen that had been en-
ployed were taken On to fill the places OF
men who had resigned or been discharged
for cause No dismissals have been made
to provide places for colored men, who can
be mad at lower wages than the men whose
places they take.
sort has been received from the employees
relative to the matter, and the officers of
the company think that the men would at
least enter a formal protest before they
talk of going out on strike.
One official even went so far as to say
that in his opinion the engineers and the
conductors of the trains do not object to
any extent to the appointment of colored
men to work with them The reason for
this state of affairs, if it really exists, is
not far to seek. Colored men have long
been employed On trains in the south. but
they are not promoted to fill the places of
engineers or conductors Colored firemen
and brakemen are as high up in the line as
they can ever hope to reach under present
conditions and this naturally reduces the
competition to which those at the top are
subjected. He said he thought that While
the engineers might go through the form
of making a protest, their hearts were not
really in it, as they had no great objection
to working with colored men, and with
colored fireman the engineer is not always
feeling that he has man with him who is
all the time looking for a chance to get his
job away from him, directly or indirectly.
The railway people do not go so far as to
say that there will not be trouble, but they
do say that they have not yet seen any
signs of it on the horizon, and they think
that things will move along without any
friction from now on.

TESTS AT INDIAN HEAD,
What Can Be Done With Twelve and
Thirteen-Inch Guns.


Thirteen-Inch Guns.
Tests have been made at Indian Head of
the comparative merits of tnirteen-inch
and twelve-iEch guns on armor plate the
object icing to ascertain which gun shall
be used on the new battleships. On the
LIST of May test was made of the twelve
inch gun. The plate used was an eighteen
II CHI Harveyized side armor plate of the
Oregon, made by the Carnegie Company.
Lieut.. Mason has pronounced the plate as
coed as any ever made. The projectile
was fired at velocity of 1,92G feet per
second with an energy of p, SS5 foot TONS
representing the velocity that would be
realized by the shot at distance of 1,3OO
yards from the gun when fired with a
full charge. The shell was a twelve-inch
Hotter, weighing $50 pounds. The plate
was split from top to bottom and one armcr
tolt was broken, the shell penetrating nine
IT ches Yesterday the thirteen-inch gun
was fired, a Misunderstanding shell, weigh
ty corresponding to 1900 yards distance
and eighteen feet greater at the same
range than the twelve-inch gun, equal to
1,S42 feet per second and corresponding
energy of $500 foot tons. The shell was
fired at the right section of the same plate
as used In the twelve-inch test. The plate
was penetrated and broken into four frag-
ments. the shell burying itself in the butt
whole. The backing and structure were
completely disintegrated. 1t was stated
by the officers making the test a. a result
Of the comparison of the two guns that
at the same range the twelve-inch shell can
be kept out, but that armor afloat or
any that is likely to be af1oat can with
stand thirteen-inch gun at that range.
Another test was also made of the
strength of the semi-armor piercing shell
in penetrating thick plate. A point was
selected in the same plate near the middle
where it was 1876 inches thick. Wheeler
Sterling thirteen-inch shell, capable of car
rying fifty-three pounds of high explosive,
was used and was fired with the same
velocity as the other shot The plate met
with similar disaster. the she'll breaking
the weaker walls and penetrating the plate
seven inches before it broke. The frag-
nents of the shell went through the cracks
in the plate and were found in the rear of
the armor structure. The outcome of this
last test surprised even the ordnance off,
GERS, for 1t is said to show that it is now
possible for our thirteen-inch naval rifle to
easily place a bursting shell in the vitals

class, representing, as they do, the latest
