The Biggest Gun.

The biggest gun in the world
will soon be completed for the
United States government.
1t will be 40 feet and 2 inches
long and have a is inch bore.
The weight of this monser will be
1875 tons, which will be five or six
tons heavier than the enormous
piece of ordnance exhibited by
Krupp at the Worlds Fair.
The usual charge will be 900
pounds Of powder. This will hurl
a shell weighing 1000 pounds, fl
teen miles speeding at the veloc-
ity of two thousand feet second,
and having a striking force equal
to two thousand ton ship going
at full speed.
This king of cannons will cost
$500, 900, and will be mounted on
Romer Shoals, where it will have a
full sweep of the channels enter
ing New York harbor.
The New York Press is author
ity for the above statement, as
well as that which follows.
This gigantic piece of artillery
is so delicately and perfectly con-
structed that it can be aimed with
absolute certainty at target fif-
teen miles away, and the shell
sent there with as much accuracy
as sharp shooter can send his
bullet at the bull's-eye.
No known armor can withstand
such q shell as this monster will
throw.
Thus it will be seen that New
York will be safe from lombard
mont by the biggest war vessels of
any Nation.

Words and q Horsewhip. Drove
Him Away From Home.

William Clark. according to his COM
plant for divorce fled In the superior
court yesterday, is a man with wofui
matrimonial experience. The records Of
the divorce court are burdened with the
complaints of wives who ask for divorces
on the ground of crue! treatment, but
Clark is one OF the few men who have
ever alleged that they were beaten and
abused By their muscular spouses
Clark tells the court that he has been
married about seventeen years TO his wife
Lulu, but that for more than a year he
has been living separate and apart from
her on account Of her vicious temper He
says that she is of a very jealous dispo-
stion and used daily to greet him on his
return home with abusive language and
blows from horsewhip.
In the month OF August, 1887 he alleges
that his wife was more than usually
abusive and beat him In the face with the
butt OF the horsewhip. Then, he says, he
left for pastures more quiet"
Another divorce suit was filed in the
same court by Nellie Price who asks a
decree from Elmer L. Price on the ground
OF cruelty and abandonment.

CRYING FAPEHS OtT OF HOURS.
Orders Issued to Prohibit 1t and Gas,
Made.

A co!ored newsboy named Walter Brown
was in the Police Court this morning charg-
ed with crying newspapers after o'clock p.
M, the papers not being extra editions Of
local newspapers. The V admitted the
charge, but said he did not know he had
violated any law. y
This is the first case of the kind that
has been brought to my attention" re-
marked Judge Kimban. Boys have been
crying papers at all Iunearthly hours for
six months. How didiyou happen to bring
this case?' the officer was asked.
Il understand that Major Moore has is
sued an order to have all these boys
brought in" was the policemans response
II got my orders in the station last night"
The officer explained to the court that he
found the boy near 18th stFeet and Oregon
avenue crying. an extra New York paper.
Judge Kimball read the section of the
regulations which provides that on secular
days of the week newsboys may call their
papers between am. and 8 pm, and only
local papers issued on extraordinary occa-
sons are permitted to be cried at other
hours. .'ntF - -.l..:s..sti
What made you cry your papers after 8
o'clock" the court asked the boy.
This is the first time / knew it was
against the law" was the boys response.
You'll know it hereafter" the judge
told him. AS 1t was the first case of the
kind brought the court thought the taking
of the boys personal bonds would be sufti-
cient warning.
