A number of 1897 models were on hand

exception of the batteries of the Sixth and
Seventh regiments of artillery this was
done. Now, however, every light battery

converted into the 1897 models, designed to
use projectile weighing thirteen and a

A STOLEN BOY FOUND.
Edward. Austin, Kidnapped Twent

Edward. Austin, Kidnapped Twenty
one Years Ago, Located.
Iloilo. July 19.-After many years OF
doubt and perplexity. Edward F. Austin.
bugler OF Light Battery, Sixth United
States Artillery. has learned that his belief
that there was deep mystery concerning
his early childhood was true.
Austin has found out that he was kid
naped when three years old, and his rela-
tives have since been hunting for some
trace Of him. He is twenty-four now.
Austin's real name is Edward Flynn Sui
livan, and he was born in Trinidad. Colo
mel Thomas, his brother. wealthy manu-
facturer, has spent large part of his in
ccme in trying to find him.
Edwards mother died suddenly when he
was three years old. He distinctly recalls
her, and IT is the circumstances attending
her death and what followed Immediately
afterward which gave him in after years
the belief that some thing strange happened
at that time.
Within few hours after Mrs Sulliyan's 8
death Mrs. Joseph Ostenberg called upon
the family to tender her sympathy. Ed
ward recalls that she took him in her arms
and showed his mother 10 him In her coffin
thing that he recalls was riding in car
riage for long time and afterward in a
railroad train. Edward could never look
upon Mrs. Ostenberg as his mother
Her husband was railroad conductor
and was killed in an accident in Nebraska
in 1891. Mrs. Ostenberg died about a year
later. and the boy was left practically PEN
niless.
He was cowboy for time, clerk in a

anything he could get to do. Then he went
to Honolulu shortly before the breaking
out OF the rebellion there and Joined the
forces under President Dole as q bugler.
When he learned of the trouble between
Uncle Sam and Spain, he became restless,
and, giving up good commission business,
went to Manila, enlisting at once He
was slightly wounded several times
Edward is now located at the governor s
palace. His time of enlistment has ex-
pired and he intended to re-enlist, but the
news he has received has altered his
plans.
He received three letters in the same
mail They were from his father, his
brother John, who served in Cuba in the
Big Four" Regiment as bugler, and his
sister Ellen. Through these letters he has
learned who he is.
His fathers letter gave the details OF
the kidnapping. The Ostenberg family
moved from Trinidad the day that the
child disappeared. but their going away
was not associated with his disappearance
| for long time.
Then it was learned that Mrs Ostenberg
who was childless, had an insane desire tc
have child to call her own. She had
shown great fondness for Edward. .r
| Two years later Mrs. 0stenberg was seer
in Denver with child. The police search
ed and found they had moved without leav-
| ing an address ,sf.z
! The death of Ostenberg was learned
through the newspapers and the fact that

turned visitor from Honolulu supplied the

Finally. after many disappointments, the
anxious father learned the present location
of his son through the army records.

KILLED BY THE KISSING BUG
A Physician CertiHes That Deatl
Followed It's sting.

Chicago, July 19-Oficials at the health
department received a death certificate
bearing the name of Mary Steger, which
read: 'Chief and determining cause,
sting OF kissing bug; consecutive and con-
tributory, tonsilitis." 1t was the first
time that the kissing bug had a place on
death certificate and the document was
returned to DIR. George NJ. Illingworth.
whose name was signed upon it. DIR. Hing
worth was ordered to take his story OF the
kissing bug to the coroner. DR.. Hing
worth reported to the coroner as follows:
Mrs. Steger was stung about six days
before her death, which took place last
Sunday. She distinctly remembered being
stung but did not succeed in capturing the
bug. The sting was on the upper lip and
the mark was plainly perceptibie even be-
fore the face swelled. Mrs. Steger has
been suffering for a long time from tonsi-
litis. and l think that the swelling may
have spread in the tonsils and thus helped
to cause death, but there is no doubt in
my mind that the woman died primarily
from the sting of a kissing bug
Mrs. Steger lived at 414 Sedgwick Street.
She was the wife Of a saloon keeper.

A Bid for ToIedo's Natural Gas.

Toledo July 19-Mayor Jones last night
offered the city OF Toledo 100000 for the
natural gas plant. The offer was made at
meeting of the property committee and
after he found that he was about to be
turned down on his proposition to lease the
plant. The committee had a hot session.
The members did not take TO the Jones
plan. The Standard Oil Company, through
J. n. Bick had offered s256.000 for the plant
and the proposition, while it was a low one.
suited the committee better than a lease.
When Mayor Jones saw the situation he at
once arose and made an offer of $500, 900
for the plant. 1t took the councilmen off
their feet. The Standard people were also
nonpiussed and an adjournment OF the com
mittee was asked to consider the PROPOSE
ton. Mayor Jones has his check for SIS
coo up as a guarantee OF good faith and he
told the committee they could have the
remainder of the money by the 1st of
January. Other hids will now be received
and it is probable that the Standard viii

meeting that he would put the plant in
condition and then return it to the city if
acceptable, but that he would go broke

ACTIVITY AT WATERVLEIT.
Work ON the Big siXteen-Inch Gum
Additions 10 the Arsenal

Reports made TO the War Department
show that the additions made of late to
the Watervliet arsenal, near Troy, y. Y,
have placed that plant practically on an
equal footing with the Government gun
foundry at the Washington navy yard. The
latter establishment has for a number of
years enjoyed the distinction of being one
of the foremost gun plants in the world
in point of completeness of equipment.
1t is the purpose OF the War Department,
it is said. to confine the operations of
Watervliet arsenal TO the assembling of
heavy seacoast and siege guns and field
artillery, and TO preparing prejectiles for
the artillery arm. The facilities of the
plant now permit of the turning out OF
$500 field shells, filed, packed, and COM
plete in every way, per day.
An immense quantity of machinery the
reports show, has been added to the Water
vliet plant during the last six months, the
notable additions relating TO tools for the
fabrication of the new 16-inch 1a6-ton gun
The main building is now provided with
two electric cranes of 60-tons and 12e-tons
power, respectively
Work on the 126-ton gun was suspended
during the past week, pending the making
ready of the new shrinking-pit The fur
naces connected with this pit have been
designed TO use coal oil. The main jacket
of the 16-inch gun has been successfully
placed, and the work remaining has to do
with the placing of the successive hoops.
1t has been definitely decided to use FRO
jectiles of 2,340 pounds weight in the 16-
inch gun, and these projectiies will be
machined and fused at Watervliet. The
forging work, it is said, Will be let cut to
contractors.
At the rate with which the work on the
16-inch gun is progressing, that piece of
ordnance should be ready for its carriage,
it is estimated, early in the fall. So far
as can be learned. however, the War De-
partment is still considering the question
of the best type of mount TO be employed.
The heaviest piece of artillery operated
on disappearing carriage in foreign SER
vices is the 10-inch calibre. The Ameri-
can ordnance authorities have succeeded
in introducing a 12-inch disappearing
mount, which has given excellent results,
but il does not follow that il would be
practicable TO operate a monster 16-ineh
weapon on the same type of carriage. The
new American I6-inch gun, it should be
known, is the heaviest piece of ordnance
in the world.
The reports from Watervliet show that
large amount of labor is being expended
just now in the conversion of earlier types
OF field artillery pieces into smokeless
powder weapons. Among the guns which
are being changed ere a number of pieces
which lately saw aqtiTe service. The con-
version consists in the introduction of a
short lining tube to permit OF rechamber-
