man, wearing black goggles, stepped
into Burns buggy and seized him by
the throat. One of the others seized
the satchel containing the cash intended
FOR the quarrymen and jumped into his

In Naval Warfare Predicted AZ the

NEW YORK, June 3.-The Press
says:
Maximite, the new explosive invented
by Hudson Maxim, has been adopted by
this country after a series of successful
tests at the Sandy, Hook proving
grounds. The secret Of the explosive
has been sold to the government by TIE
inventor and the explosive, it is thought,
may revolutionize warfare. 1t is said
to be more deadly in character than
lyddite, yet so safely can it be handled
that the danger attaching to its use is
less than that incurred in transporting
ordinary black powder.
In an interview Mr.. Maxim said:
Should the United States now be-
come involved in war with any other
power we will be able to throw high ex-
plosiye projectiles through the thickest
armor of our enemies to explode inside
their warships, while they in turn would
be able only to penetrate our m
with solid shot, or at least, carrying no
bursting charge whatever"
He thought the moral or these new
developments is that the ponderous bat
tleship must go, and be replaced by the
small, swift torpedo boat or torpedo
Hunboat and cruiser.

ALLEGED TO HAVE OUTRAGED a
WOMAN ON LAMBERTsS
RUN, FIVE
MILES FROM CLARKSBURG.
WILL BE TAKEN TO CLARK SBlRG
FOR IDENTIFICATION BY HIS
SUPPOSED VICTIM.

Special TO the Register.
PARkERSBURG, ". Va, June 81
A tramp who gave his name as Carl
Wieth. and says his home is Cincin-
natl, was partially identified here to-day
as the assallant of Mrs. Lee Drummond.
on Lambert's Run, FIVE miles from
Clarksourg. last Wednesday afternoon.
He was arrested here Friday night on
suspicion but until to-day the officers
from Clarksburg had not come here to
see if he could be identified. This morn
ing Chief OF Police Steaiey. OF Clarks-
burg. and Mr.. E. j. Weekly. a neighbor
and friend OF Mrs. Drummond, arrived
here TO look at the prisoner. From the
description the had given them
of him they say they thought he was
the right party, but as he would be in
danger of summary punishment IL taken
to Clarksburg, they were unwilling to
run the risk till he had been positively
Identified by Mrs. Drummond. She was
sent for, but is in such a critical condi-
ton from the effects of the treatment
she received at his hands that she was
unable to come and Wieth will be taken
to C~larksburg tomorrow for identifica-
ton.
The crime with which he is charged
was n of the most infamous ever COM
mitted in the State. Not only did the
man criminally assault her repeatedly
by force, but after the woman was thor
oughly helpless he committed other I'M
speakable outrages, apparently through
pure fiendishness. Mrs. Drummond was
terribly injured.
The head of a dog. supposed I belong
to Wieth, was found near Adamston,
where the dog had been shot and placed
on the railroad track. Ii was identified
by Mrs. Drummond and will play a part
in the identification of the man II he Is
caught.
Wieth claims that he is from Cincin-
natl, that he never was In Clarksburg.
and that he came here from Cincinnati
and Chillicothe on his way to Balti-
more to hunt work as a dyer. When
asked what he did with his dog he said
Il LOST never had one"
The information here is that II he is
identified he will not live to come &c
trial at C~larksburg.
