SMoKELEsS POWDER.
Remarkable Results Attained With
the New Explosive.

Naval ordnance officers are elated over
the remarkable results secured with the
new smokeless navy powder for large cali
bre guns in a test at The Indian Head
proving grounds An ordinary f8<inth ri
fie of .35 calibre length was used IN the
trial with the regulation plojettfle and a
charge OF 325 pounds of the new explosive.
A muzzle velocity of $500 ieet' second
was obtained, which far .u.Tasses any rc-
suit hitherto secured in this country, if
not in the world. The superiority OF the
latest explosive adopted for regular Scr
vice over the brown prismatic powder,
which is the best that has been supplied
TO American warships up to this time, is
clearly shown by the statement that in
the same gun and with the same proJec-
tile a charge of 525 pounds OF powder gave
a muZzle velocity Of only ., 100 feet 4 sec
ond. 1t was this brown powder that Dew
ey used at Manila on May l, as we'll as on
August Is and again on February 6, and
which proved so effective on July 8, in
the destruction of Ceryera S fleet. much
greater improvement which will attend the
introduction Of high-powered smokeless
powder into the navy for heavy ordnance
will be accomplished when the length of
the rifles is increased TO As calibre through
the reduced size of the explosion chamber.

LITTLE BOY CRUELTY BEATEN.
Said to Re the. Innocent Victim of
nm Angry JnnitOr.

Philadelphia, Feb. S.-John Bender, the
janitor of the Bayard Taylor School, at
Turner and Verango Streets, was yester-
day held in $500 bail by Magistrate Don
nelly, of Germantown, charged with ag-
grayated assault and battery on ten-year-
old Samuel b. Hurst, of 515 Westmoreland
Street, pupil in the school, The trouble
is said to have grown out of some of the
boys making fun of the janitor's nose
The little Hurst boy is weak and sick;y,
and on Thursday had received permission
to remain in the classroom during recess
The angry janitor chased several of his
tormentors into the room, but they all es-
capped, and the man, il is said, fell upon the
sickly little boy and began to beat him
about the head. DR.. Apple. OF 1858 North
Fifth Street, who has been attending the
child, stated that the little face was mark
ed for life and that it will be some time
before the child will recover from the Sc
we're shock. But for the interference OF
two larger boys, ii is said, the little boy
would have2been handled much more Sc
verely.
Bender, when asked what he had to say.
made a general denial that he had beaten
the boy as charged but the magistrate
promptly placed him under bail for trial

ROPE BARRICADEs IN STREETS
An Anonymous GrOwIer Writes to
the commissioners.

the Comm iss toner's.
An anonymous communication signed
Sufferer" was received at the District
Building yesterday relative TO the roping
off of certain streets during the sickness of
persons in various parts of the city.
During the last week. says the COM
munication, the street, Thirteenth north
west from Street TO Massachusetts Ave-
nue. has been roped off, thus entirely shut
ting off vehicle traffic on this street. This
is an outrage on the rights OF the residents
and would not be tolerated in any other
city-not even a country town OF any pre-
tensions. The excuse for this closing up Of
the highway is that an old lady resident
long an invalid, has had stroke of paraly-
sis Now, in the name of common sense,
put a stop to this and open the street
This is one way in which the city is a
back number and fifty years behind the
time, as often asserted.
Commissioner Wight after reading the
communication, sent the following recon-
mendation to his associates:
II recommend that no attention be paid
to this communication. 1t is anonymous
and coarse. No privileges have been grant
ed in this case which are not granted in
any other cases. Probably if the writer
had a serious case of sickness in his house
he would gladly avail himself of the pro-
lection which is daily afforded under such
circumstances.

EXCITED BY A MYSTERY.
Citizens Fear Some Horrible Crime
Has Been Committed.

Pottstown. Pa, Feb. S.-People in the
vicinity of Schwenksville, Montgomery
county, are excited over a mysterious af-
fair in which they believe there are strong
evidences of a murder or some other hor-
rid crime. Early on Sunday one week ago
the screams of woman startled the viii
layers of Spring Mount, and efforts to find
their cause proved futile. Two days after
ward man and a woman drove near the
woods from where the cries of the woman
came, and the man disappeared carrying
with him a large box.
He was gone about one hour, and return
ing, drove away with his companion. Last
Thursday two men drove to the same place
and they also carried large box into the
woods.
Several citizens of the locality where
these peculiar actions occurred, were in
Pottstown today and said that excitement
over it is increasing. There is a large sub
terranean passage in the woods, and they
believe that If this were explored, sou
-tion of the mystery might be reached. Nc
one has had the courage to do this, how
ever, fearing that if it be made the hiding
place for stolen goods a confederate
of the thieves might be on guard and &C
them bodily harm.

WINSTON FOUND
GUILTY OF MURDER
JURY RETURNS A VERDICT
Lawyer Turner Gives Notice That
He VIII File Motion for
Arrest of Judgment.


He VIII File Motion for
Arrest of Judgment.
The jury in the case Of Charles Winston,
colored, who is charged with murder, this
morning returned verdict of guilty. The
trial was to begin last Saturday and the
case was given to the jury at about
O'Clock yesterday. at which time it retired
to consider the evidence in the case.
At p. m. the jury was called into court
by Justice Cole, who presided at the trial
and asked If it had reached a verdict. He
was informed that no agreement was
reached and ordered that the jury be
locked up over night. This morning at
10:45 o'clock word was sent the court that
a verdict had been reached and the jury
was sent for and the foreman announced
the verdict.
Mr.. Charles H. Turner, of counsel for
Winston. asked that the jury be polled and
as the names were called they each an
swered, Guilty as indicted"
The jury was composed of eleven white
and one colored man, and il is reported
that on retiring to the consultation room
the first vote taken showed that the jury
stood eleven to one for conviction, without
any qualification of the verdict. 1t was also
stated that 1t was not the coiored member
of the jury who favored qualifying the
verdict, so as to make the penalty i'm
prisonment for life in the penitentary in
stead of death.
The crime of which Winston is convicted
was committed ON December 13, 1897. Ac-
cording to his own confession, he on that
date murdered his wife, Emma Winston,
in cold blood, in the house where they
lived, 521 Third Street southeast. He was
tried and convicted on this charge In
March, 1898, but was granted a new trial
by the Supreme Court of the United States.
During that trial Winston denied having
murdered his wife, and claimed that she
committed suicide. Yesterday when he
went on the witness stand in his own be-
half he created somewhat of sensation
by making a full confession OF the crime.
The Government was represented by As
sistant District Attorneys Joseph Shilling
ton and John E. Laskey, and the prisoner
by Charles II. Turner and George kearney.
When the verdict of the jury was an
nounced Mr.. Turner gave notice that he
will file motion in arrest of judgment.
