SENSATIONAL SHOOTING.
Reginald Constable Fires Upon In
truders Who Gave Abuse.

Frank J. Martin, a moulder EN-.
ployed at Powers foundry, in Elk.
ton, was taken from Elkton Jail
Sunday afternoon and hurried to a
Baltimore hospital, with both feet
so badly crippled that it is thought
he will lose the use of one of them
by amputation, as the result of
gunshot wounds inflicted by Reg
inald Constable, of Elkton.
Martin and a companion named
Gillespie, it is alleged, were out on
a "spree" Saturday evening, and
shortly after 10 o'clock tried to
enter Mr.. Constable's home on Bow
street. The men were ordered from
the premises by Mrs. Constable,
but instead of leaving began to
abuse her. Mr.. Constable appear
ed, with his shotgun, and ordered
the men away. AS they did not
move fast enough, it is stated, he
fired at them, the entire load of
buckshot striking Martin in both
feet and ankles.
Officers cCready and Kirk were
attracted by the shooting and
placed Martin under arrest. He
was taken to jail, but his condition
became so alarming that he was
sent to Baltimore. Gillespie, his
companion, was arrested and held
without bail for a hearing. Martin
is from Philadelphia, where he has
wife and two children. He came
to Elkton only two weeks ago.
Mr.. Constable is a son of Albert
Constable, a prominent lawyer,
who was murdered on Red Hill
more than year ago by John Sim
pers, who paid the death penalty
for his crime in October last. Mr..
Constable is connected with the
Edgemoor Iron Works, at Edge
moor, Del, and last fall married
Miss Bessie Evans, daughter of
former States Attorney William

Naval Department Is Making In.
portant Investigations
As TO COST OF STEEL ARMoR FLATE
CALL FOR INFORMATION ON SUB
JEcT ENTIRELY FORGOTTEN
UNTIL VERY RECENTLY.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 90
Naval officers are surprised to learn
that the navy department is making
an investigation into the cost of armor
plate production. The call for informa-
ton on the subject Incorporated in last
years naval bill was completely for
gotten in the department and it was
only after inquiry was made by the
house naval committee a month or
more ago respecting the report, that
the demand was remembered. There
was no time set for sending in the re-
port, and as congress will soon adjourn
the information is not expected to be
ready before the end of this session.
In the mainline, however, a board of
three ordnance experts has gone to
Pttsburg and Bethlehem to ascertain
if any information can be obtained
from the armor plate makers in regard
inquiry into the subject. The armor
plate people are not obliged to give
expected the inquiry will bring little
to the department which is not al
ready known. The department author
tiles are not in favor of building an
armor plate plant. and it is known
that the contractors find themselves
without much in prospect.
The next contracts for armor will be
for the two battleships. the South Car
DINA and the Michigan. and as the
present congress has authorized only
one additional armor-ca carrying ship the
amount of government orders for that
material will not contribute enough to
keep the private plants busy. 1t -
considered that future battlship con-
struction will not justify the establish
ment of an armor plate factory by the
government and no one in authority
looks for any information which will
enable the secretary of the navy to
materially reduce the contract price of
armor for the coming battleships. The
fact that no announcement was made
at the navy department of the detail
of the board of inquiry into the ques-
ton led to the adoption In the house
of another resolution calling for up-to-
date information on armOr plate cost.
