Gun cotton for Charges.

South bethlehem, Pa, Aug. 26.-In
the presence of Lieut.. Gen. Miles, Gen.
Wilson, Gen. Burlington and other
army officers, the new 1S-inch Gatha-
man torpedo gun, the largest ever
built in this country, was tested at
the Bethlehem steel works, to de-
termine the velocity of the shot and
the strength of the gun, and proved
a gratifying success. The govern
ment made an appropriation of $685.
600 for the experiment, and demanded
that ten shots be fired, the test to
show a pressure of $4,000 pounds per
inch and a velocity of $4,000 feet to
the second. Solid shot weighing ton
were used.
After two preliminary shots the
third was fred with a charge of 300
pounds of powder, and showed a pres
sure of 1905 pounds, and 1896 feet
velocity, while the fourth shot with
the same charge recorded a pressure
of 1880 pounds and a velocity OF
1901 feet. The remaining six shots
will be fired in a few days.
The gun is intended for coast de-
tense. The inventor claims that ii
will throw shell fifteen miles. Gun
cotton will be used in the charges
The gun is A feet long, and weighs
SO tons. Gen. Miles, after the test.

RACE RIOT RENEWED.
New York Police Busy in Making
Arrests and Dispensing Dis
turbers of the Peace.

New York, Aug. 27.--A number of
incipient race riots broke out here
Sunday, the direct cause being the
shooting Saturday night of John
Brennan, white messenger boy, aged
20, by John Davis, alias 'Lamplight-
err" Negro. Brennan was one of
crowd of whites who tainted Davis,
and bullets from the blacks revolver
lodged in his stomach and chest. He
is in a hospital and likely to die. The
shoOtir g was done on gid street, and,
becoming noised about, the rough
white element began to search out
Negroes.
Before daybreak Sunday morning
James Arnold, colored, while passing
oath street and Amsterdam avenue,
was attacked by a crowd of whites
and badly beaten. He was treated at
a hospital. Shortly afterward about
two blocks away the gang doled out
similar experience to Alexander Bal
lentine, colored man, who was pass
ing quietly along. In neither case
were arrests made.
At $3.50 o'clock in the morning a
crowd of whites led by Frank Nc
Pike, "a years old, went to a FIVE
story tenement on Goth street, occu-
pied by Negroes, with the avowed
purpose of cleaning it out. They had
about demolished all the windows
and incidentally cracked a head or
two when the police arrived. McPike
and another man were arrested.
At 1850 p. m. Joseph Doyle, 10 years
old, filled his hat with stones and
took his stand at 59th street and
18th avenue. He succeeded in infict-
ing scalp wounds on two colored men
before a policeman dubbed and ar
rested MIN.
Officer John j. Cleary placed under
arrest for being sassy William Hop
son, n colored man. He rashly un-
station through West Goth street
That street between West End and
amsterdam avenues is called Cuckoo
Row." and here colored people live by
the hundred. The fact that one of
their race was in the hands of a po-
liceman was all that several of them
wanted. and half a dozen of them
thought they would release Hopson.
Cleary used his club and then drew
his revolver. BY threatening to shoot
Inc first man to move he held the
mob at bay until other policemen
came to his aid. They arrested George
Meyer, also colored. Cleary said he
started the attempted rescue. Meyer
resisted arrest all the way to the sta
ton, and when he got there he had
several scalp wounds. One in partic-
ular was very large, and it is thought
the Negroes skull was fractured.
William and Henry Rapp, brothers
and. white, were arrested and locked
up on complaint of Adam Johnson,
colored, who claimed they had stoned
him.
The above are only a few assaults
which came to light by arrests. The
fact is that all day long the police in
the neighborhood mentioned were
kept busy dispensing small mobs bent
on mischief.

SACRED SONG SERVICE
The G. A. R. EnCampment Opens
at Chicago in Rain Storm.
Veterans and Visitors to the En-
campment Came By Thousands on
Every Incoming Train-Rec-
Ord-BreaEinE Attendance.

Chicago, Aug. 27.-Despite a rain
which fell at times with the energy
of stream from garden hose and
degenerated periodically into a cold,
soaking drizzle, the grand patriotic
and sacred song service at the Coli
scum Sunday night was attended by
a throng' which taxed the capacity of
the immense Building tie the utmost.
The exercises began at s o'clock, and
between that hour and o'clock the
sidewalk on Wabash avenue was inn
passable for block in tboth direc-
tions. A large detachment of police
was on hand, and the officers had
their hands more than full in han
ding the crowd. The jam in the door
ways was terrific, and although none
was injured, many gowns and coats
were badly wrecked. 1t is estimated
that fully $4,000 people were packed
into the hall, and thousands more
were unable to gain admission.
Bishop Samuel Fallows, of Chicago,
who gained renown as a fighting man
on the battlefield before he won dis
tinction in the pulpit, and who is the
chairman of the encampment commit
tee on religious exercises, presided.
On the platform with him was Mayor
Harrison, COMMUNICATIVE Chief Shaw,
Rev. Thomas C. Tiff, of Salt Lake
City, Utah; Gen. Daniel E. Sickles,
Rev. >E. G. Hirsch, of Chicago, and
host of department co1nmanders of
the G. A. R., as well as tie local Off
Gals in Chicago of the Chicago's en-
campment.
After a musical selection had been
rendered by the band the vast audi
ence joined in the Lords Prayer, be-
ing led by Rev. Frank Gunsaulus, of
Chicago, and then Bishop Fallows ex-
tended warm and eloquent welcome
to the visiting veterans. A respon-
sive reading was led by Rev. J. D.
Severinghaus, of Chicago, and Bishop
Fallows then introduced Commander
in-Chief Shaw, who spoke at some
length on "Trne Patriotism" He
dwelt upon the services which had
been rendered to this nation in par
ticular and to the world at large by
the members of the Grand Army, and
pointed out the need of training the
coming generation in the duties
which patriotism demands of the ma
toms citizens.
Rev. Z. G. Hirsch delivered a patri-
otto address and Rev. I. D. Wallace
pronounced the benediction.
Veterans and visitors to the en-
campment came in by the thousands,
every incoming passenger train be-
ing packed to the doors. Railroad of
tcials estimated that fully $4,000 peo-
pie arrived during the day. OF this
number $4,000 were members of the
q. A. r. Forty-fve thousand stran-
gers had arrived previously, over H.
600 of whom were veterans-a total
of $4,000 already in the city, and re-
ports from the railroads and from G.
A. r. headquarters indicate further
arrivals will swell the number to
record-breaking total.

Fate delights in still contrasting
All that comes to mortals here;
Some may feast. The rest are fasting.
For each smile there is tear.
There are shine and holly berry.
There is hunger's tattered cloak.
There is Christmas when you re merry
And there's Christmas when you're broke.
When the music, softly playing,
Seems less tenderly to fall
Than the laughter that comes straying
Through the nursery and the hail,
Who shall think that some poor fellow
On the pavement stands afar,
Watching every gleam so mellow
Through your window blind ajar7
When all care is shut behind us
And when love dispels each sigh,
Let some gentle thought remind US
OF the lonely passer-by
Life to some, though pleasant, very,
Isn't all gladsome joke.
There is Christmas when you're merry
And there's Christmas when you're broke,

Recent estimates are to the effect
that asphalt is being dug out of the

notable existing sources of the material

tons in sight, but at this rate the sup

"Ain't We got no manners, { let
company wait out there that way
her aunt said, sharply, and poor Clar-
issy went flying to the door.
There stood, not Tom, but Amos
Purdy, near neighbor, as neighbors
go in thinly settled country, and a
widower of two months standing who
had dropped in once or twice of late.
He entered now with a sheepish air
which to anyone less preoccupied than
Clarissy would have proved that he
was on counting bent. He took a
chair near the door and where he
shut out Clarissy's view of the win

Right cold day." he ventured, ad-
dressing Aunt Phoebe.
"Well, l guess We can't 'xpect much
else, with Christmas only two weeks
off" was the ungracious reply.
Yep, that's So" the visitor re-
sponded. Then he relapsed into an
embarrassed silence, during which he,
with apparent Inconsistencies, stared
Clarissy out of countenance.
"Ole Zeb White killed er bear last
Chuesday," was his next remark, still
addressed to Aunt Phoebe. Biggest
one this year. he says. Them Whites
is awful liars, though, an | cain't

Clarissy had turned pale at the bit
of news. She rose now, on pretense
of getting more wood for the fire and
went outside. Aunt Phoebe had sud
denly become gracious and the sound
of her voice followed the girl as she
ran along the trail to the tree which
held her token.
