ACCEPTED AS CLUE.
Identification Of Suspect by a Dealer
in Weapons.

The Identification of James Henson at the
called at the store of Moses Goldstein on D
street the night before Lazier Gozman was
murdered and wanted a heavy blackjack
and knife, published in yesterdays Star.
Is regarded by the detectives as an impor-
tant link in the evidence tending to connect
Henson with the murder Detectives and
Jail officials who were present when Gold
fcation could not have been more complete
Goldstein picked him out of a party of six
men when he was more than ten feet from
where the colored men were standing. He
says that Henson called at the store and
asked FOR the weapons and he referred him
to a neighboring store, he did not sell
blackjacks. When the colored man got out
side he turned and looked in the window
and then 1t was that he a crescent
shaped scar on his left forehead. The state
ment of the witness gives the detectives the
impression that the killing of Gozman was
premeditated, if the crime was committed
by Henson. They feel certain Goldstein has
made no mistake, because Of the manner in
which the Identification was brought about.
Renewed activity in the Hlllsdale murder
case was shown at police headquarters last
night after information had been received
might have some bearing on the crime. De-
tectives Muller and Lacy were sent out Of
the city on investigating tours. The for
mer went to Prince Georges county in the
vicinity Of Marlboro, while the latter went
to the vicinity Of Petersvlle, Frederick
county. Md. They will probably not return
until late today or tomorrow.

special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Atlantic City, N. j., yesterday says:
In a Virginia avenue hotel in this city Mrs.
Dean of Allegheny, Pa, is critically ILL., with
her sixteen-year-old daughter watching be-
side her. Over in England lies the dead

Last night a cablegram was received by
Miss Daisy Dean, the daughter, saying that
her father died yesterday Of heart disease
The sad intelligence could not be conveyed
to the mother, owing to her critical condi-
ton.
Mr.. Dean gained wide prominence few
months ago when he announced that he had
solved the problem of converting steel bill
lets into armor plate at much less expense
than by the present methods Experts say
his invention may revolutionize the steel in
dustry. At the request Of capitalists he was
invited to meet them in England to demon
strate his claim. and he was abroad for
that purpose when stricken. No one other
than Mrs. Dean knew the inventors secret,
and If she dies this treasured knowledge
will go with her.

The McClary Manufacturing Com
pany's Plant Total Loss.


A dispatch from. London, Ontario, last
night says: One of the most disastrous fires
in the history Of this city occurred tonight
in the immense plant Of the McClary Manu-
featuring Company. A boy working In the
stamping department dropped a burning
match into a vat of OIL and with a report
like cannon the oil went up in q sheet of
flame. Like a flash 1t spread on the ceiling
Of the room on the first floor, and the en-
ployes rushed from the building in panic
In this portion Of the works were located
the stamping room, with 100 presses; the
tinsmith department. the japanning depart
ment, the artists department and the wrap
ping rooms. where tinware is made ready
for market.
About 500 men. women and boys were in
the building. There was rush for the
elevator and the stairs. and in terrible
crush, scorched and smoke begrimed, they
reached the street, but none was seriously
injured. The fire burned furiously for hours
the firemen being utterly unable to cope
with it.
When the first brigade arrived the hy-
drants were found to be frozen, and when
the water was turned into the hose the
pressure would not throw the streams fifty
feet. The fire burned itself out
The loss is 100000 The McClary firm is
practically the only stamping firm in the
domiaion, and also one Of the largest in
America.

RAN GRACE" FARO GAME,
Canfield's Place in New York Full of
Crooked Devices,

A dispatch from New York yesterday
says: District Attorney Jerome today re-
ceived a letter from Chief of Police Mat
thews Of Providence. r. l., informing him
that the record of the Providence county
jail showed that on July II, 1885, Richard
A. Garfield was sentenced to six months
Imprisonment as a common gambler. The
district attorney does not believe that Can
field will return to New York to stand trial
for keeping a gambling house here.
Gambling, while a felony, is not an ex-
traditable offense. Mr.. Jerome said in re-
Spouse to a question, 80 that Mr. Garfield
is safe so long he stays abroad He
could be extradited If he were charged with
obtaining money under false pretenses, but

is to be made by the victims Of the brace
games that were dealt at his place in Ath

York city. Mr.. Jerome asserted runs
crooked game; not necessa riy in the large
public rooms. but almost invariably when
sucker is enticed to wager heavily in one
of the small private rooms, such as were
found in Canfield's house
There is not one house where an anna
teur can get square game If he plays
heavily" Mr.. Jerome said. II have a list
OF the crooked dealers here, about twenty
five names. Every house of any impor-
lance employs at least one of this class"

How many of them are on your list of

"All four. And Garfield never allowed
a professional gambler to play in his place.

has opened up large and permanent
bodies of high-grade gold ore, and
the question as to what to do with
the output of the mine, even at this
early day, has been troubling the
management for some time past.
This is also true with regard to the
Aultman, although the percentage OF
values is not SO great, but while the
gold values do not reach as high a
percentage as in the Saxton, what
they lack in this respect is more than
made up in volume, for the dimen-
sions of the ore body as it is opened
up in this mine are simply astonish-
ing.
While here few weeks ago Di-
rectors George M. Hurd, Dix w.
Smith, Fred Morck and M. II.
Moore, and their consulting engin-
eer, c. r. Corning, recognized the
necessity for providing some means
of treating the output of the mines,

on the dumps, and realizing that the
ore bodies now opened up will sup
ply material to keep a stamp and
cyanide plant in operation for sew
eral years without taking into ac-
count the other sixteen claims, it
was resolved to install the necessary
plants without delay.
To this end overtures were made
to the Ely Mining and Milling Com
pany for the use of the new ffty-ton
mill erected little more than year
ago and which lies contiguous to the
Aultman lines, and a satisfactory ar
rangement having been made, that
plant will hereafter be operated by
the Mckinley Mining and Smelling
Company in the treatment of their
cyanide ores. The Robust mill, as it
is called "a cut of which appears
herewith), is one of the best equip
ped and most complete plants in the
state, and, during the short time it
was in operation, rendered most
excellent account of itself. The Nc

TRIAL OF PROTECTOR
NEW SUBMARINE BOAT MADE
GOOD SHOWING.
Made Twelve Knots Running With
the Sea and Ten Knots
Against It.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, January 1O.-The
submarine torpedo boat Protector, built
here by the Lake Torpedo Boat Company.
had preliminary builders trial this after
noon.
In the face of a strong westerly gale,
which had turned up pretty good sea, the
boat was taken out for run between
Bridgeport light and Penfieid Shoal light,
distant three and three-eighths miles, right
in the teeth of wind and sea. With a big
bone under her bows, the Protector made
the initial run in twenty-one minutes,
speed of nearly ten miles hour. using
only her gasoline motors. The freezing
spray coated everything, and the green
seas swept her deck from stem to stern,
but on the coming tower 1t was possible
and safe to stand all the while. While the
accompanying tug danced about like
cockleshel1, the Protector was as steady as
a house, and at no time did she feel the
sea except for a moment when in the
trough on turning homeward.
On the return run, with the wind astern,
and under combined electric and gasoline
motive power the boat made quite twelve
miles for the better part of the run. The
steering gear being new and stiff made 1t
hard to keep to a straight course.
The two bow torpedo tubes are as yet
without their conical covers, and having
diameters of eighteen inches, their bluff
surface added considerably to the load
against the heavy seaway. The remark
able steadness of the vessel bears out all
that has been claimed for her sea boat.
Many of the mechansms were stiff and the
screws are not yet standardized, so the
speed performances are promising, indeed.
The Holland boats made about 81 knots
after two years preparation. The Pro-
tector, as recently described in The Star.
has a main cigar-shaped body, and above
and without this a light shp-shaped struc-
ture has been built to make the vessel sea-
worthy and stable. In this superstructure
are stored the air TASKS and the gasoline
tanks, thus completely removing all danger
from leaks and internal explosion.
The boat is sixty-five feet long. has a
maximum beam of II feet, and had today
displacement of 100 tons. Apart from
her surprising steadiness she is impressive
because of the compactness of all her ma
chinery and the available remaining space
Her cabin accommodation for crew Of
eight persons is quite double the space al
lotted crew of double that number on our
surface torpedo boats of the Thornton type.
NO submergence runs were attempted to-
day, but in few days, when the electrical
installation is complete, the boat will have
her subsurface and her bottom runs.

the output of their mines will cause
a steady stream of gold to flow into
their treasury.
: And yet this may be said to be
only preliminary step in the direc-
ton of extensive development work
which the Mckinley Mining and
Smelling Company has now in hand,
for plans for a complete twenty
stamp mill have already been pre-
pared and the plant will be pushed
to completion at the earliest day pos
sible, This plant will occupy the
company's mill site near the Saxton
mine, and will be capable of handling
at least 800 tons of ore daily.
Thus the cyanide ores will be
treated at the Robust, while the free
gold and other character of ore will
be taken care of at the new plant,
which is now to be erected. The two
mills will have combined capacity
of $50 tons daily, and figuring the
average values in the ores at $1,000
