NEW DEATH ENGINE
IS AMERICAS ALONE.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York, July 8.-That a 12-inch
shell a, loaded wi with only small charge
explosive, will crumple in the side of
the heaviest armor- clad vessel, tho the
shell fall short of it's mark by twenty
feet, has just been demonstrated at the
beginning Of series Of tests at the
government proving grounds at Sandy
Hook. The great value of this explosive
lies in the fact that the shell will pierce
armor plate and explode in the interior
of vessel.
The explosive substance is named aft
er it's inventor, Major Beverly w. Dunn,
u. s. A., and is a closely guarded gov
eminent secret. Foreign nations have
sought in vain to learn Of its compost
tion.

sent this information to her friend and
counsellor, Rev. James Sawyer Of Will
Jamestown.
Mrs. Hubbard prepared her. expedi-
tion with great secrecy and Mr.. Wal
lace did not know Of her intention to
make the hazardous trip until his plans,
which were openly announced, had been
well completed. The two parties started
about the same time, but by different
routes, finally meeting at Rigolet, where
the Wallace party boarded the boat
upon which was the Hubbard party, and
remained on board until Gillieport,
which is near the Northwest river, was
reached.
When Wallace returned to this coun-
try there was some friction between
him and his dead companion IS wife, and
after he had announced his intention of
making a second trip. Mrs. Hubbard
started out herself, but kept her plans
from Wallace.
