Most important case tried last
week was the one of Wilcox,
Ives Co., large fertilizer Com
pany OF Savannah, Ga, VS.. the
Directors of the Union Distribut-
ing Co. The case was a very
unusual one as suit was brought
against the directors personally
not for any Endorsements on
notes, for there were none, but
for Carelessness in not seeing
that the manager remitted to
Wilcox, Ives Co., certain
moneys collected by Union Dist.
Co., on assigned collateral. The
case was fought very hard
throughout, the plaintiffs being
represented by a brilliant array
of counsel. The court held that
a director has to exercise due
care and take an interest in the
corporation of which he is
director. The jury gave a YER
dict against the defendant for
$9SS.14. Ar appeal will be taken.

The Largest Gun.
(Wall Street Journal.)

Although the boom of the great
gun designed to protect the Pacific
entrance to the Panama canal will
not reverberate quite around the
globe, it will be the loudest single
"boom - in the world. This titanic
piece of l6-inch ordance which has
been shipped to the Sandy Hook PROV
ing grounds is 80 feet long, weighs /.
422 tons and fires projectile about
six feet long and weighing a ton.
The discharge of this piece of coast
artillery requires 625 pounds of pow
der, giving its projectile maximum
range of from % to % miles Theo-
retically, the projectile has power to
pierce two feet of the best armor plate
at its muzzle velocity, and at II mile,
will pierce an 1l-inch amor plate. or
any side armor ahoat
When the shell leaves the cum it is
revolving at the rate of 4 900 revolu-
tons n minute and develops a pres
sure of $4,000 pounds to the squire
inch. The pressure on the rear of The
gun and forward on the proiectile
amounts to 7,Go0,00O pounds. The ear
riage for this gun is under construction
at the Watertown arsenal. and it is cx-
pected that all will he finished and the
gun ready for shipment to Panama hy
next spring.

The Boston Transcript points out
that either the European war is less
bloody than dispatches represent OF
there is systematic suppression of facts.
The German official casualty list up to
date is made up of 1861 German
dead, 65,90S wounded and 23.O07 miss
ing, or total of 104,5S9 Germany
has been fighting both in the east and
in the west. It's armies have confront
ed those of the allies for very nearly
two months and meantime have strue-
gled with the Russian hosts in East
Prussia. 1t seems, therefore, at least
extraordinary that in series of
great combats, when the fighting went
on without intermission for a week at
a time and the battle line was hun
dreds of miles long, the number Of
killed on the German side should have
been less than six times the mortality
sustained by the Union army IN three
days of fighting at Gettysburg.

in this year of the great war, the
United States has consummated with
its ncighbors in many climes what ma,
appropriately be called the great
peace. In all, % peace treaties have
been signed, ''scraps of paper" pedg-
ing the signatory nations to submit to
disinterested arbiters any grievances
that may arise, and. in the event of
dissatisfaction with the verdict, to at
least wait a while before declaring
war. Such an arrangement gives "a
breathing spell. The theory is that if
any a2gricved nation has time enough
to think over the conditions OF war. it
will realize the futilitv and the foolish
ness of war. The peace treaties are
Joined in by nations whose lands in
clude 35,oo0000 square miles of the
55,O00,000 square miles of the earth :
landed surface. These nations do in a
year an import trade of eleven and Il
half billion dollars, and an export
trade of more than ten billion.

Let the people rule. This has been
thrown out in a rather sarcastic way
to our friends in the Progressives
ranks, but from all the stories whie5

as pretty punching of delegates by
certain interests as has ever been seen
in New York, Illinois or some of the
other unregenerate states. This person
ally conducted business of paying the
