saying, The Man Brhiud the Gum
1t is interesting to hear from commanders
and officers in command of guns on our
different ships the reason for this, The
method on cur ships when approaching the
enemy is to fire a small calibre gun, and,
as with the use Of telescopes, the direction
can always be obtained at once, thu only
difficulty is to find the elevation. This is
obt)ined by firing short of the object. and
then az the shot strikes the water, grad
ualIy raising the gun until the enemy is
struck. With the small calibre rapid. fire
gum this is a matter Of only two or three
shots, and the range is obtained in less
than a minute.
The moment any one firing one Of the
small guns secures the range. il is tele-
graphei or telephoned to every gun on the
ship, and with the magnificent machinery
for firing the large guns, it is only a few
seconds when every weapon of different
sizes on board the ship which can be
aimed at the object is sending shot and
shell of all descriptions straight at the
mark, with the consequent result that it is
practically impossible for the guuners on
the enemy's ship to stay at their guns.
AZ a result, oar ships were seldom hit

Cole street, this city, fireman attached
to Hook and Ladder No. 2, was nearly
killed at six o'clock this morning in the
discharge of his duty. He is flow lying
in his home in a critical condition as the
result of a terrible shock he received from
a live wire. His recovery is doubtful.
Patrolman Cox, of the Seventh street
station shortly before six O'Clock this
morning. noticed smoke issuing from the
cornice of the building No. 1S1 Pavonia

by several families. He sent in an alarm
from box No. 241, and several en-
gines and Hook and Ladder Com
pany No. 2 responded The firemen noted
that telephone wire connected with the
building at the point where the flames
were shooting forth. A ladder was raised
and Mcclure and two companions were
sent up with axes to investigate and chop
away the burning timbers. Mcclure was
the first one up the ladder. He had barely
reached the top when he uttered a sud
den cry of pain and shaking convulsively,
nearly topled over backwards.
His belt, which held him to the ladder,
was all that saved him. His right arm
had come in contact with the telephone
wire, which had crossed a live wire some
where, and he had received shock which
nearly ended his life on the spot His
companions lifted him up from his peril

THE FLOODED DISTRICT.
Vain Work on the Thirteenth sewer
Water Draining Away.

Despite the efforts of the city author1-
ties. the Ravine Road Sewer Commission
ers and contractors to keep the old Thlr-
teenth street sewer open, up to last night,
at least, they had not succeeded. work
men were still busy at the latest caye-in,
within thirty feet of the mouth OF the
river all yesterday afternoon. For while
at least they seemed to find no trace OF
the old sewer They dug and dug.
Then they drove crow bar with a
sledge hammer, welded by a brawny
pair of arms, down through the miry
bottom of dug-out pit. But up to the
lime a News reporter left the scene
they hadn't discovered the crown of the
rotton old brick sewer Apparently one
good thing was done. A ditch connecting
the dug-out pit with the trench for the
adjoining six-foot Ravine Road sewer
pipe was dug and water was pouIlils
from the pit via the Ravine Road sewer
trench into the river in torrents.
The opinion of experts was that TINS
would relieve the deluge in the residential
sections of Thirteenth street and vicinity
inside of an hour; but a glance at the
nnols in the recently caved-in but care
below Provost street revealed the fact
that the waters therein were still IN a
trannlil state of utter stagnation.

eaye-ins was the quantity picturesque

QUEER POLITICS HERE.

Especial to ..The Jersey City News.1
TRENTON, Feb. 23, 1s9S.-The Board OF
Prison Inspectors seem to have diserlmina-
ted very much againt the Democratic EN-
ployes at the States prison in their recent
decision to cut wages. The cut is to go INTO
effect on March, and nnder it nineteen
Democrats will have their salaries reduced.
while the number of Republicans affected is
only nine.
That this state of affairs should exist
seems rather strange, inasmuch as the Board
of Inspectors is made up of three Repubh-
cans and three Democrats
The Democratic members OF the board are
Markham E. Staples, Jersey City; william
K. Brown, Newark; Wells Lawrence, Mend
ham; and the names of the Republican mem
bers are William H. Carter, BordentoWn
Samuel F. Stanger, Harrisonville, and Ed
ward H. Holcombe, Lambertville.
The claim is made by the inspectors that
the reduction is made necessary in order &c
provide employment of two new deputies
They say they do not want to increase tne
salary schedule of the prison.

LOOK OUT FOR THIS SCAMP.
Customers OF MILK Company Duped
by Bogus Collector.

The New York Condensed Milk Com
pany has discovered that a swindler Is
calling upon the residents himself as
collector for the company. The man has
collected sums ranging from 81 to $40 and
has also secured milk money from the
company's customers in New York and
Brooklyn.
From Investigations made by the police.
Chief Murphy says he has learned that
the swindler is Elias Sandorn, thirty
years old, who has served several terms
in prison for various crimes. 1t is said
that he is the son of a minister and. that
the name he uses is assumed.
After serving his last sentence Sand
orn wrote to Augustus Stoickel, man
ager of the Hudson county branch of the
New York Condensed Milk Company, at
Montgomery street and Baldwin avenue,
telling him that he had decided to live
straight life in future and asking him to
give him employment as a driver Stoickel
refused to trust him. Soon after that
Sandorn began his nefarious practice.
Among those who have been swindled
in this manner in the last two days are
Mrs Pope of No. SIT Washington street,
Hoboken, IS, and in Jersey City, Mrs.
Ceilings, No. 267 Grove street. S.; Mrs.

LAST HOPE FOR CLIFFORD.

Senator DAILY Makes Application to
the Branch supreme Court.
Senator William D. DAILY appeared before
the Branch Supreme Court, consisting OF
Justices Depue. Van Syckel and Garrison,
at Trenton, on Monday, and applied for a
mandamus to compel the Hudson County
Court of Oyer and Terminer to amend the
records in the case of Murderer Edward
Clifford, so as to make them conform to the
facts. The application is last effort to
save the life of Clifford, who has secured a
reprieve until March Is. Senator DAILY
wanted the record to show that Clifford was
tried by a struck jury.
Justice Depue remarked that un der the
common law practice all that is necessary is
that the records should show that he was
tried by jury of twelve men. 1t was i'm
material, SO far as the records are concerned,
how they were selected, except that if they
were improperly chosen the exceptions should
have been taken at the time.
Justice Garrison said he had examined the
tie records in the Barclay Peak case and
all they showed was that he had been tried
by a jury of twelve men.
Justice Depue then asked Senator DAILY
why he wanted the record amended. Senator
Daily replied that he did not understand that
that was question to be argued at this time.
He said, however, that it was his intention to
apply to the Chancellor for new trial, when
he could lay before him perfect record. He
was asked if he intended to carry the matter
to the Federal courts, and replied that it was
possible that this course might be pursued.
