A MARVELLOUS BOAT.
A New Idea in Torpedo Craft.


A New York dispatch says: The Hal
pine torpedo boat lies in the shed at the
long dock at Willet's Point all ready
for her trial trip, all but the engineer
officers who are to pass judgment upon
her. She has been OverhauIed and put
in order during the last two weeks.
Her storage bait cries have been placed
aboard and she stands ready for service.
She is built of copper, "a feet long
the beat is q cylinder in form. Her keel
las the shape of semi ellipsold, while
her stern has the shape of q cone. The
superior merit claimed for her by her
inver tor, Lieut.. Halpine, formerly of
the United States navy, is that she has
the pow err to shoot her charge I'M
der q warship that has a torpedo net
out. She carries her propelling power
| aboard of her in storage batteries and
does not need q dynamo on land, and
she is a marvel of simplicity.
She can be handled from any point,
and if necessary she can tow small
boat after her, in which the operator
can sit at distance of two and half
miles and direct her movements. She
can run twelve miles and be started,
stopped and backed by only pressing q
small button. There are two wire
cables, each two and q half miles in
length aboard, which uucoil and con-
meet her with the operator. One of the
cables controls the boat, while the
other steers her.
! She carries two lights, which reflect
I their lights backward, so they are seen
by the operator only and not the hos
tile ship, keeping the operator in
formed as to the actions of the boat.
| If one is above the other che is goin 2
ahead. If sideways she is making for
| the stern of warship. No light, the
boat has stopped. She runs with but
three inches showing above water, but
can be submerged to fifteen feet.
| Extending from her bow is long
spar with two arms extended. Ex-
tended again from these is q steel har-
poon with two arms lying fat. The
harpoon is forced through, the arms
unloosen a spring upon the side of a net
and keep it taste ned there. The open
arms of the spar strike the net on th 9
outside and drive the sLar back into
the boat, which strikes the trigger
Trey can, attached to the harpOon by
q chain. will and is swung under the
vessel to be destroyed.
| At the same time the leather cap is
/ orn off the tube of the charge can.
This action lets out the potassium,
which on meeting with the water 10
mites the rocket, expelling the gun gas
lin the can and exploding the charge.
Meanwhile the boat itself has been
backed out of danger and returns to
the operator only minus harpoon
chain and can. The speed of the Hal.
pine is nineteen knots an hour.

Chicago. Aug. 16.--The alternative OF
poison or a revolver with which to end
her life was offered by Rev. Flavius j.
Brobst the preacher and lecturer,to his
wife. according to a bill for divorce
filed in the superior court by Mrs.
Brobst. The wife alleges in her bill that
she chose laudanum as the means with
which to commit suicide and that her
life was only saved after she swallowed
the drug by the circumstances of her
having consumed a quantity Of milk
which ameliorated its effects.
During the time Airs. Brobst was un-
conscious from the effects OF the drug,
a period of about 2l hours as stated In
the bill, Mrs. Brobst alleges that her
husband. according to what he later
told her, preached two sermons. She
also charged her husband with squan-
dering her property. There has been
trouble between Brobst and his wife for
a long time andhe threatened TO begin
divorce proceedings against his wife.

WITH CLUB OR STONE
Young C0veny Struck Down and
Dangerously Hurt.
Was Stealing Rite on Flying Horses
When Assault Was Made.

During row at Arkwright last even
ing 16-year-old Michael Coveny of
Clyde was struck in the back of the
result is lying at his home. near the
Clyde depot. in a precarious condition.
Exactly how the trouble started no one
appears to knw or is willing to tell,
but from what can be ascertained the
boy was struck by one of the employees
of the proprietor OF the hobby horses
which have for some time been located
in between the river and the Pawtuxet
Valley railroad, short distance from
the Arkwright bridge, The music of
the hand organ and the flying horses
have proved a great attraction to the
boys, and every evening crowds OF them
from all Of the neighboring villages
have visited the place and spent their
pocket money In riding the wooden
steeds. When their pockets were empty
some of them would watch their OPP
portunity. and when the proprietor was
not looking, jump on the horses while
they were In motion and secure free
ride.
The boys say that young Coveny has
several times done this. and that one
of the men employed by the concern
a few evenings ago threatened to strike
him with a club IL he was again caught
stealing a ride. Last evening, as usual,
a number of boys were playing about
the horses, and some words ensued be-
tween them and the employees. What
happened next cannot be ascertained.
but In minute young Coveny was
struck down by some one and lay
senseless on the ground. Ills COM
panions carried him short distance
away and tried to revive him, but after
working over him for half an hour they
were unsuccessful and messenger
was sent for physician. The boy was
picked up and carried into Henry's
saioon, near by, and after nearly an
hour the messenger succeeded in t1nd-
ing Dr. A. III. Petit at 2henix and
bringing him TO the place. The boy was
still unconscious. and the doctor found
that ne was suffering from concussion
of the brain, caused by the blow from
a club or stone on the base OF the skull
After a time the physician succeeded in
partially restoring him to conscious
ness and he was removed to his home
at Clyde, where he now lies in a pre-
carious condition. The police were
notified Of the affair. but as yet no ar
rests have been made.

that the fastest German cruiser

Those competent to Judge expect that

October and end with the year.
