A Double-Curved Turtle-Buck Turret to be Tested. Next Wednesday there will bea test at An- napolis of the deflective armor designed by Chief Engineer Clark of the navy. This armor has been a Navy department bugbear for sev- eral years. In 1833 Congress appropriated a sum of money to defray the expenses of mak- ing and testing the armor, but for some reason itwas not done. The case finally drifted into the hands of the naval advisory board, the turret was at last constructed by the bureau of ordnance, and now it is to be tested. The armor con: of a double-curved turtle-back turret designed for the deck ofaship to pro- tecta gun. It is 4 inches thick. The inventor claims that it will deflect a shot that would penetrate 13 inches of iron, THE GUN TO BE USED will be one of the new 8-inch breech-loading rifles recently turned out from the ordnance factory in this city. It will be planted 250 yards from the turret and loaded with a light charge | of powder, sutficient to drive the shot Sarenes | the 18 inches specitied. Seven shots will be fired unless the target is broken before that point is reached. The inventor has requested that if the turret is intact after the seven shots have strnck 1t, it will be fired at | until destroyed, but there isa feeling among the officers at the department that the first shot will settle the matter. Incase the turret stands the test it will probably be adopted for use on some of the new vessels, The experi- mental turret to be fired at Wednesday cost nearly $19,000, NEW DEPARTURE IN PAVING. An Asphalt Surface on a Cobblestone Foundation. Heretofore, when a cobblestone roadway | bas been paved with asphalt, it has been the | custom to remove the cobble and excavate toa ‘depth sufficient and put in a new base of hydraulic concrete or bituminous concrete. Capt. Symons has just made a new departure on E street between Pennsylvania avenue and 15th street. Here the cobble has been allowed to remain in place and the pavement laid on top of it, the interstices |of the cobble being filled above the tops of all the stones with a bituminous binder, Capt, Symons thinks that this system should be carried out in all cases where the District in- tends to pave with asphalt streets already paved with cobble, as it will result in a saving of 75c. to $1 per yard. HE WAS NOT REMOVED. How an Official at the District Building was Saved. Among the District officials named in the in- dictment drawn up by the republican central committee against the District Commissioners at the meeting of the committee Thursday night was the property clerk of the District, who was put down as a democrat retained in office. Members of the central committee were and are particularly emphatic in their criticisms in connection with Mr. Beckett's ease and in their demands for his removal be- cause they say the property clerk has been re- tained in office against the wishes of the Ex- gineer Commissioner, When the board of Commissioners was re- organized after the ince of Messrs, Hine and Douglass thi ‘ineer Commissioner recommended that the office of the prope: clerk be placed in his department, as this cer had more business with bis department than any other. This recommengstion a8 Approved, te * “ mowt i Engineer Commis- sioner recommended changes in the property clerk’s office, involving, it is stated, the re- moval of the present occupant of the office. According to the custom that has prevailed at the District building the wishes of a Commissionereoncerning any office immediately under his charge have always been respected by his colleagues. In this case, how- ever, it is stated Mr. Doagioe declined to approve the change proposed by Mr. Raymond, A change was made, however, by which the duties of the property clerk were divided, Mr. Beckett, the incumbent, having charge of property inside and Mr Boiseau having charge of property outside of the District buildings and property yards, Neither Mr. Douglass nor - Mr. Hine cared to ‘say anything in reference to the criticisms upon the retention of the property clerk when a Star reporter broached the subject to them today. Aiaj. Raymond, when questioned y the subject by a Sram reporter today said: “Yes, it is true I recommended a change in the office of property clerk some time ago. The matter was discussed informally in the ‘d andI decided to give it further consideration. Sine that time I have made some changes in the ar- arrangement of the property division and do not propose to recommend any change at pres- ent. “Whenever any Commiseioner is not satisfied with the services of an employe in » depart- ment of which he has the immediate charge and the direct responsibility it has always been customary for the board to remove the em- loye upon his recommendation. I presume this custom will not be changed.” = eee PRESENTIAL APPOINTMENTS.—The following appointments were issued Saturday from the summer executive quarters at Deer Park: Wheelock G, Veazey of Vermont, interstate commerce commissioner; John C, Watson of Nebr: attoraey for Alaska; Edward Mitchell of New York. attorney for southern district of New York; Willis Vandevanter of Wyoming, chief justice of that territory.

Fear of the Monied Classes Explains In- vestments in Foreign Enterprises. Laxnox, Sept. 2.—The monied classes of Lon- don fear that they bave indeed fallen upon evil days and many ominous incideuts lately oceur- ring et home furnish ample explanation tor the large investments now being made in foreign enterprises. The real estate owners fear that something will come of Prof. Stewart's movement for the better housing of the work- ing classes, the necessity for which basawakened the attention of philanthropists for many years, ‘The majority of the new London couxty council are in favor of the professor's plan to erect uew dwe! on the site of rookeries to be destroyed in the East End, the expense to be frayed by atax ou iaud values. The land owners stoutly insist that sucha proposal would be illegal and a bitter figktover the question is in prospect. FORTUNES WIPED AWAY BY THE STRIKE. Many London holders of shares in dock prop- erty have been forced into insolvency by the strikes. Of these a larger proportion than might be supposed are people, many of them es, whose little properties were invested in this manuer, often through legacies, and who by this sadden diminution or total Joss of their modest incomes may be made as poor as the strikers themselves, Ove effect of the strike predicted by merchants will be to greatly de- | crease the importance of London as a commer- | cial entrepot. The smaller ports will undoubt- edly hold the gain which they have already made at the expense of the metropolis, and it is an evidence of the farsightedness of capital that lands available for increased dock loges in Hull, Southampton, aud especially Bristol, have already increased in price, and other ports fallen into disuse, but formerly of im ce, are calling attention to their possi- bilities and inviting capital for their develop- ment, HOW THE SHIP-BUILDING INDUSTRY LEFT LONDON. Mr. Wisby, an employing wharfinger, say: The ship-building interest was forced out of the Thames a generation ago by just such a strike and there does not appear to be even a i- bility of ites ever returuing. Over forty thousand people were any! or indirectly supported by its industries, In the new localities to which it took its flight only the skilled London work- men were wanted or bad means to foilow it, and About seventy-five armed negroes came into town and talked in a very loud and threatening manner, The general belief is that Cromwell wrote the first letter himself aud had it | addressed aud muiled to him et Shell Mound with the object of arraying the negroes aguiust the whites, so that the ef- fect would be to make the negroes’ alliauce that were opposed to bm come over and join forces with the other negroes, but if such was his object it failed os they are still holding out against him, Seturday night our sberif! received information from Bunny- | side, 15 miles above Shell Mound, that there | were 500 armed negroes who were massed ip | the Jobnson field pear there and belp wat needed. He wired the governor the situation, and asked for troops which was responded te promptly by Gov, Lowry in person, bringing with him five companies of militis, Gov, Lowry | has sent two companies to Sunnyside to report to the sberuf who went up there this morning to see if he be could do any- thing with the negroes. The statement running between here and Sharkey bas just come ip bringing a number of women and children. Gov. Lowry cautions the people to be free from all violence and vot to violate the law in any particular, but to assist the county wuthorities to enforce it, |. There were several reports from the scene of the trouble last evening, oue of which wae that the negroes hod left the vieimity of Sunnyside, | breaking up in small bauds of from twenty to thirty and seemed to be sulky and mad. ANOTHER STORY OF THE CaUse.
