BIG GUN A FAILURE.
Shell Fired by Gathmann Does No
Damage.

New York, Nov. 1s.-The test of the
Gathmann gun and shell took place at
the army proving ground on Sandy
Hook and resulted in a failure The
shell did no material damage to the tar
get. The failure of the Chicago inven-
tors theory is ascribed by him to inn
perfect detonation of the fuse in the in
terror of the shell. The army officers,
however, claim that they have found
convincing proof to the contrary and
say that everything in connection with
the test was as peTfect as it was possi-
BILE to make it in accordance with the
inventors IDEAS
The board has decided to give a sec
ond trial to which the inventor is en-
Gathmann shell for tomOrrOw's test will
be overhauled in the presence of Mr..
Gathmann for the purpose of guarding
against imperfections.
When everything was in readiness
Lieutenant Morton of the ordnance de-
partment pressed the electric button. A
roar from the gun was followed imme-
diately by the explosion of the torpedo
against the 11-inch Krupp plate. frag-
ments of the shell flying in all d%ec-
tiOnS The plate, however, was found
uninjured except for a slight indenta-
ton on the face of the metal. The po-
sition of the target was slightly
changed, but the change was not ma
terial
The gun used was a specially built
piece of ordnance, six inches larger in
bore and several feet longer than any
now in use, being of 1S-inch bore and 40
feet in length. The projectile was
shell IS inches in diameter and six in
length, containing charge of 500
pounds of wet gun cotton, the whole,
including the shelE weighing 1850
pounds
Before the test Mr. Gathmann said:
There is a metal incased fuse at the
base of the projectile containing IL
ounces of dry gun cotton and from 35
to 40 grains of illuminate of mercury,
this being highly explosive, while the
wet gun cotton is not so readily
touched off.
This metallic fuse is so arranged
that when the projectile is set flying
the rotary motion releases the fuse,
Which is temporarily fastened, and
when the projectile strikes an object
the fuse darts into the tube which ex-
tends toward the center of the projec-
tile, there striking percussion caps and
exploding. Dry gun cotton and fulmi-
nate of mercury being the only known
explosives which can give sufficients
enormous quantity of wet gun cotton is
touched off and its explosion is suffi-
cient to tear the most formidable bat
tleship in the world to splinters.''
The target used consisted of a Krupp-
lied steel plate II inches thick backed
by feet of steel. To the rear of the
target was bank of sand eight feet
high and so feet long
The gun was mounted upon a tenn
porary structure $50 feet from the tar
get, which was located several hundred
yards below the regular proving
grounds The powder charge was re-
duced in this test so as to represent
the distance of $500 yards.

CALLED NEGLIGENCE.
Verdict of Coroner in st. Louis Lock
Jaw Cases

St Louis, Nov. 16.-Coroner Funk
hauser today rendered a verdict finding
the st. Louis health department negh-
gent in the preparation of diphtheria
antitoxine that caused the deaths by
locklaw (tetanus) of seven children to
whom it was recently administered for
diphtheria-
The verdict in part, is as follows:
I'VE find that the deceased came TO
their death from tetanus, following the
administration of diphtheria antitoxine
containing tetanus toxine, said diph-
liberia antitoxine having been prepared
and issued by the health department OF
the city of st. Louis and bearing dates
on labels of August "a and September
80, 1901
diphtheria antitoxine shows negligence
upon the part of the health department
in the preparation of the said diphtheria
antitoxine and in the issuance thereof
For some time the city health depart
ment has been making an antitoxine
for use in diphtheria cases. This was
distributed among practicing physi-
clans throughout the city free of charge
and used in the city institutions quite
generally. In many cases it is said to
have saved lives. The serum was OBJ
tanned from horses that said to
have contracted tetanus and to have i'm
parted it to the antitoxine drawn from
their bodies

NO JEALOUSY FELT.
AS Result of American Invasion of
England.

New York, Nov. 1S.-The sentiments
expressed at the Lotus club meeting
Saturday night meet with a hearty re-
sponse in this country, says the Tri-
bune's London representative. The
Standard, perhaps, scarcely voices the
general opinion of Englishmen when it
says the American invasion of Great
Britain has been viewed without the
smallest jealousy, but it strikes a true
note when it remarks:
With the best will in the world an
Englishman usually finds it a little diff
ficult to overcome a certain inSular
stiffness which separates him from the
continental peoples, but with an Ameri-
can he is so soon at home that he
scarcely regards him as a foreigner.
The most satisfactory feature in the
political horizon. not wholly free from
clouds, is that this tendency is becom-
ing national as wen as Individual
American statesmen have during the
last two years treated US with scrupu-
lous fairness and an anxious desire to
avoid adding to our embarra ssmentS,
for which we are none the less CRATE
full because it is based in part on the
recognition of the service that we We're
able to render to the United States in
their last serious international comph
cation.

ferSOnville tomorrow evening The

certained within a reasonable time the
case of Rathbun may be disposed of at
this term of court, otherwise it will go
over to the February term.
