HAND GRENADEs or VAR or re
Old Time Ordnance Found st Fort McHenry
How They We're Used.
From the BOHimore American.

While examining the contents OF the ord
nance st0r ehaIse at Fort McIIenry Lieut..
J. T.. Holcombe OF the i2sth Coast Artillery
discovered several boxes Of old hand grensdes
which are supposed to be more than IA hundred
years old
The missiles are OF the earliest make used
by the United States Government. and were
probably placed at the historic old fort when
IL was frat erected in 1912. Owing to the
way In which they were packed the grenades
had only the slightest trace OF rust upon
them.
The discovery of the weapons recalls a
bit OF the ancient history of the country. In
explaining their use LieuC. Holcombe said
that the grenades were handled only by the
grenadiers OF the ship, who, walking out
fighting vessels thew them into the ranks
Of the enemy. An explosion followed which
created havoc.
They weigh about four pounds and are
shaped after the fashion Of the bombs used
by anarchists. and are iron and loaded with
gunpowder..
Several days after tho discovery one of
the new recruits ~ the fort was FOUND Try
ing TO dry the powder In. one Of the MISSILES
nv roasting " on the Are. A report was
made 10 Lieut.. Watson. in command OF the
post. who said that he intended 10 vrte TO
the authorities and ask permission TO dump
them in the middle Of Chesapeake BAY. as
thsy were 80 old fashioned that they would
be Of practically no use whatever in modern
warfare.

Of the Comedian of the steps Of Cacus, the

sorry They had an opportunity to pro- test before the board they also could have stopped by injunction the building of the freight house across the street. but they preferred it seems, to allow the road to go to this great expense and then try to stop them in the legislature. It is not right; it is not fair nor just.
 During the session of the legislature in March similar bill was passed clos ing Third, Fourth and Sixth avenues from Twenty-sixth to Twenty-eighth streets. We are not complaining of this for it was actually necessary for the good of the city that it be done. There was no opposition and the railroads are now settling with the property owners. All these streets are through streets, but at Fifteenth street We ask that this street be closed at its terminus. Fifteenth street doe snot go through; it ends at First avenue before as now. The use of this part of the street is a necessity from the fact that our city blocks are not long enough to build a station for the needs of this large system and the needs of the public, without overlapping one stret Freight houses cross the streets from Twentieth street to Twenty-fourth street and it is we'll that they should for these streets are crossed at their tefml- nus ana 0O not run lllIOuBh do IL 70 termed There are other just such in stances that need not be mentioned, and still the city has not gone backward, but prospered. The Illinois Central has all ready spent for its terminals here more than one million dollars, and to get Into Birmingham from the outside will spend eight million.
 MT. King Is asking for the legislature to give us Greater Birmingham This we all desire. He has asked the endorse ment of the Commercial club and the Board of Trade, and gotten 1t. These or ganizations of merchants, industries ana business men have also asked by resoiu- ton that our senators and representatives give to the Illinois Central their legls- lative endorsement of what the city has granted. Such endorsements by the legis- lature have been repeatedly asked for Tor years and we have never heard of sin gle instance where it was not readily granted.
 What has made Birmingham great, and what will make 1t Greater Birmlng- ham?' The railroads and industries. Welcome their coming and do not hinder them with nasty and unwise leglsla- ton.
