The military men had been taken back nearly
a quarter of a mile in the special train of two
coaches. and had stood some with their fingers
in their ears, watching the gun and the missile
fired from it. The members of the board entered
a wooden shanty near where the train mad
waited and eagerly scanned the indicator where
the velocity had been registered by electricity
A quiet smile stole over the lips of each as he
saw the record. The shot had broken the cleo
trio connection screens across the velocity
frames, the second in the lapse of sufficient time
after the first to figure 2,3O6 feet to second

and the force of impact at various distances

weight of the projectile and the velocity with
which it started it's flight.

BALTIMORE. MD. February 1.-THE
steamer Calvert of the Weenis Line.
brought a romance from Virginia when
1T tied up at the dock this morning.
There were two excited ladies' among
those waiting for the boats arrival, They
were the Misses Burch. living on Arllng-
ton Avenue. and their particula, interest
was in a sturdy twenty
man. who was registered on the passenger
list as Charles j. Burch, of Central Cross,
Va.
Sharing In his occupation fthc center
front stage position was Miss Mattic Kate
Hart, Of GUNNER. Va, who blushed i'm
pressively She is only seventeen years
old.
1t was an Essex county elopement His
parents are deceased. Her. parents were
obJectors. She was too young. Love
laughed at locksmlths and patronizcd a
steamboat line. Tic boat picked tho cou-
pie up at Bowler's Wharf. a preacher
and q. license We're quickly secured but it
was decided not to havethe ceremony on
the wharf, SO they Went with the Rev.
w. T. Way to his home and were mar
ricd.
This evening they took the steamer for
Essex county and will ask forgiveness.

BIG FIGHT COMES
UP THIS MORNING
Proceedings to Condemn Sha-
fer Building to Commence
in Federal Court.

Judge Edmund Wadill, Jr., sitting in
the United States Circuit Court at IL
o'clock to-day, will empannel a jury to
condemn the Shafer building property.
Out Of the twenty prominent business
men summoned as jurors. twelve will be
chosen. Evidence will bo heard as to
the amount of damages that will be In
Cured by the owners Of the property
and the tenants should the government
acquire this building
Judge l.. L. Lewis, the district attor-
ney, will appear for the government;
Hon. S. S. p. Patteson will be the coun-
sci for Mr.. James A Moncure, the adj
ministrator of the estate Of the late
John G. Shafer- Mrs. Charles E. Whit
lock has come in as party to the
suit and will have counsel. She claimc
certain damages, as she has a claim to
ground rent of portion of the building.
NIessls j, w. Anderson. u. Randolph
Williams. Willis B. Smith, ]. w. Ander-
son and perhaps others will appear for
certain of the tenants.
1t Is possible that Mr.. NIoncure.
through his counsel, will make fight
against condemning the property. as
some OF the tenants havo made larger
demands for damages than he anti
cipated. when he agreed to sell the prop
erty to the government for $4,000.
The proceedings will be In open court
and they are expected to be exceedingly
breezy. 1t is thought that all the EVIL
dence will be introduced to-day. More
than likely counsel will desire to argue
the case and I'm that event the matter
will probably not so to the jury until
tomorrow.

NEW ORLEANS, LA, February 12.-
In the death to-day in New Orleans Of
Colonel NJ R. Powers, division passenger
agent of the Southern Railway. there
was a curious sequel to the death of
President Jefferson Davis II, 1889. The
immediate cause of Colonel Powers
death was hemorrhages brought on by
an injury to the spine, which he sus-
.tained fourteen years ago while assist
Ing in placing the coffin of Jefferson
Davis on n Southern Railway car prepar-
atory to it's removal from this city to
the martyred Presidents final resting
place at Richmond, Va.
Colonel Powers was then. rs at tho time
of his death. the leading spirit in the
local office of the Southern Railway.
When tho body OF the Confederate leader
was removed from Its resting place at
NIetaire, it devolved on Colonel Powers
to conduct the better part of the cere-
monies, He was an intimate friend dur-
ing the life of President Davis. and threw
all of the enthusiasm he was known tc
possess into the work.
He became one of the pail
and in endeavoring to lift tho heavy cof-
fin into the baggage car at the Louisville
and Nashville depot, suffered the injury
which ultimately caused his death.
Four days after the funeral Colone
Powers was taken seriously Ill Tho
Southern placed a private car at his dis.

were IN vain. Colonel Powers remained
