Benet Reviews the Advances Made During His Army Service. In his annual report as chief of ordnance of the army, from which several of the more im- portant facts were noted in yesterday's Star, Gen. Benet says that all of the $700,000 appro- priated in 1888 for the army gun factory at Watervliet has been expended, ond the work of completing the plant for the capacity of the building, to give an estimated annual output of twenty-four guns (twelve eight-inch, seven ten- inch and five twelve-inch) per annum, is now being prosecuted from the appropriation of $165,000, made in the fortifications act of 1890. THE ESTIMATES, The estimates submitted for the next fiscal year are as follows: For the manufacture of eight, ten and twelve- inch steel and coast guns, 270,000: steel field guns of thirty-iwo inch caliber, $25,000; steel forgings for one type sea-coast gun of sixteen- inch caliber, $125,000; carriages for ficid gun batteries, 261.000; for carriages for tweive-inch sea-coast mortars, $325,000; alterations of ex- isting sea-coast carriages for ten and fifteen- inch guns, £100,000; plant at Watervliet for carriages, $27.00; steel armor piercing pro- jectiles, $200,000; casting twelve-inch sea-coast Fifled mortars. $20,000: ten and twelve-inch guns, 31, plete the gun factory by the erection of the south wing and crane ways, €248,743; plant for the same, 3460,000; powder and projectiles for service guns, $105,000. Of the great sixteen-inch sea coast gun, for which estimates are submitted, Gen. Benet says the plans of the fortification board m- cluded forty-four of these guns to defend ports of the first importance. The general ground upon which rests the necessity for procure- ment of guns of this caliber is that the land defenses shall possess guus not only equal in power toany that the attack can bring for- ward, but that they shall eadeavor to hold the superiority in this respect over the attack. The length of the proposed sixteen-inch gun is about 493¢ feet, the length of bore thirty- ive calibers and the weight 125 tons. It will fire a charge of about 1.000 pounds with a pro- jectile of over one ton in weight, The estimated muzzle penetration in iron is about three feet aud the maximum range about fifteen miles. Of the large estimate for steel forgings for rifled guns the report says: itis appropriation should be made at the next session of Congress, as it is urgent!y needed to mect the requisite supply of forgings, the present manufacturing capacity of the army gun factory—nortn wing and center section. This plans, working alone, will require a new supply of forgings, with deliveries to commence about the end of the year 1893. Ii an appro- priation is not made this session there is every Feason to anticipate that the gun factory wiil Fun short of work before fresh supply of forgings can be obiained. GEN. BENET’? VALEDICTORY. In closing this, bis last anuual report, after felicitating the army and country on its suc- cessful establishracnt of a great gun factory and the triumph of American scientific and mechanical skill, Gen. Benet sums up the achievements of the ordnance department dur- ing his forty-one years of continuous gervice in the following language: The casualties natural to a period of human life extending more than forty years have changed the entire personnel of the department since my graduation and the great lights of the past have, in the course of nature, given way wo their more youthful successors. Smooth bores have yielded to ritles and 500-yards range snd uncertain accuracy to the unerring bull's eye far beyond the unaided reach of human vision, aud the brittleness of cast iron spheres have been superseded by the marvelous perf ating of steel armor by elongated projectiles. Gunpowder, with Rodman's marked improve- ment in size and burning and consequent re- duced pr sssure-, seems tobe yielding to a emokels': -omp++1+ not yet perfectly devel- oped aad - the destructive power of the titanic explesives of today Great are the inventions for the destruction of human life and public and private property, which, supplemented by the new chemical aud mechanical processes, governed aud guided by electricity as the mo- tor. makes this crain the military history of the world a marvel. bx. he says, “for the progr ss of the the arts of peace have advanced no less marvelously and their beneticent effects al | more than compensate for the evils that wars | andrumors of wars can ever inflict on man, ever were it not true that the more perfect the appliances for destruction the shorter and less Sauguinary ix the conflict.” Gen. Benet will retre before the close of the present year. “SCALPERS’ ” TICKETS VALID. An Important Decision in the Minnesota Supreme Court. Judge Vanderburgh of the Minnesota su- Preme court rendered a decision which Settles the question of the validity of a rail- road ticket purchased of a ticket broker or sealper, and the liability of a railroad company to accept such ticket when offered by an muno- cent purchaser. In August, 1338, the Northern Pacific railroad issued certain excursion tickets from Detroit, Micb., to Minneapolis and return. Casper Carsten bough! the return stub of a Minne spolis broker and took passage from Minne- is to Detroit. The conductor would not pt this ticket. Carsten brought action Sgainst the ratlroad company and the lower evurt held that he could not recover, He then appealed to the supreme court and the decision is reversed, the court holding that s round-trip ticket used by a purchaser in go- ing to the station and then soid and Wwansferred with no restrictions appear- ing is valid in the hands of the holder and entities him to a return passage, subject to the Prescrived limitations as to time, &c., aud ac- tual damages may be collected.

The Woodstock Criminal’s Last Inter- view With His Wife. Birchall, the Woodstock criminal, and his wife had a long interview last night. They will not see each other again, for Birchall is to be executed at $ o'clock tomorrow morning. They had a long talk over different matters, and it ended with mutual tears and with meseages from the doomed man to his friends in England and to his heart-broken mother and his sister and brother. Then followed one long, linger- ing embrace and look and Mrs, Birchall wasled out of the cell along the dark stairway to look upon her husband no more in this life. She was driven to the hotel, where sho spent the night in hysterics, Birchall returned moodily to his celi and sat for a jong time meditating upon his hard fate and the terrible death that awaits him, BIRCHALL IS DOWNCAST. For the first time since he was incarcerated he appeared downcast. In a short time the Rev. Dean Wade entered the jail and spent the During the day, before the final interview with his wife, he was very cheerful and chatted with his guards quite freely. He ate well, smoked severai cigars and appeared to take his execu- tion resignedly. He slept very well Tuesday night, but appeared to be considerably de- pressed by the receipt of correspondence from the old country stating that his mother was dying and his brother was very ill. TO PREVENT SUICIDE. Yesterday afternoon the sheriff ordered that Birchali’s cell be changed and bis orders were carried out. This was to avoid any possibility of his having poison scereted in his cell, but there is not much danger, judging from Birch- own arrangements, that he will end his in the afternoon he expressed a strong e that Turnkey Forbes and Mr. Leetham, his executors, attend the execution—rather a strange wish, but Birchall is a strange man and does not do things like other men. He loves to be startlingly original. He will die game and will have little or nothing to say at the last moment, BIRCHALL MAKES HTS WILL. Birchall bas at last made his will. It was drawn up by Mr. Finkle, one of the prisoner's solicitors, and was witnessed by the day guard. Turnkey Forbes and Mr. Leetham, Birchall’s college friend, are appointed executors, and all of bis effects. including s legacy which he says is coming to him, are bequeathed to his wife. His watch, a cheap affair, he has prom- ised to George Perry, his day guard, but his wife has bought a magnificent gold watch for Turnkey Forbes, AN EXPERT HANGMAN. The hangman who will officiate is the same man who hanged Kane in Toronto and Smith ig London, Ont., recently, He is a professional, and there will be little danger of any bungling. Everything in the jail is being put in a bright and clean condition in preparation for the ex- ection. Prisoners were at work all day with whitewash and scrubbing brushes cleaning up the gloomy interior walis and corridors, The scaffold will be erected in the southeast corner of the western jail yard, so that Birchall can- not see the structure from his cell window be- fore he diés. Some workmen were engaged in hammer- ing this afternoon outside the building and the noise jarred upon Birchall’s nerves. He asked his guard if they were engaged in erect- ing the scaffold and quieted down when told that they were not, oan ema TRIAL FOR YEARS. A Criminal is Forgotten in Prison and Becomes Insane. John Blyers in 1868 was arrested for the murder of family named Foster in Vance- burg, Ky. He was tried in a Kentucky court soon after, but the case was taken to the United States court on the ground that the state laws did not allow colored witnesses to testify against whites. In the United States court Blyers was convicted and sentenced to hang January 22, 1869, The state appealed the caxe to the United States Supreme Court. Ater a delay of three years that court re- vanded the case to the state courts. Then it somehow became forgotter. Year after year Lis gone by without atrial, Witnesses have died or moved away. Blyers’ family has died and he has grown gray in jal awaiting trial. He was poor and without friends and so his case was forgotten even in Vanceburg, many persons not even knowing he is in prison. He has beconie more or less daft over his long im- priscument, and takes no interest in anything outside the jail The bloody axe with which the murder was committed is kept in the jail, and that is about all the evi- dence there is left outside the written testi- mony taken at the triais on which to try the man. An effort will be made to try Blyers at the next term of court. sos THE FASTER GROWI AWAITING G STRONG. Signor Giovanni Succ! Eats No Food, but Gains in Strength. Signor Grovanni Succi, who is giving an ex- hibition of his wonderful fasting powers in New York for the benefit of the medical pro- fession, started in yesterday on the eeventh day of his long fast weighing one pound less than he did at the same time Tuesday. Accord- ing to his promise, however, he had increased in strength during the night and pulled the dynometer indicator around as far as 54 kilos, four kilos more than he could yesterday His pulse was beating smoothly, and be looked in tip-top condition. Succi is beginning to at- tract attention in medicai circles of New York eity. That a man can lose two pounds of ficsh a day and still increase m strength on a diet of water is a puzzle that a New York physician fails to un- derstand, and it is now the correct thing for physicians to drep in during the day to sce the ing. When Succi began his fast he told the doctors that he would lose a little over two pounds a day for six days and one petnd a day after that. Tuesday was the sixth day, and at iteend he weighed 132 pounds, fifteen and a quarter pounds less than when he began to fast. Yesterday he weighed 131 povads, a loss of one pound on the seventh day, #6 be promised. He told the physicians that he would stop losing weight after he was reduced to 107 pounds, a Joss of forty pounds in all Succi’s face shows only a slight shrinkage. COMBINE OF SEEDMEN. An English Syndicate Trying to Control che Ware Houses. A syndicste of Englishmen has been for sev- eral weeks trying to secure control of all the leadins seed ware houses in this country. A nuroer of interviews with the different firms beve been had, but as yet nothing definite has been arrived at. There is upward of $20,000,- 000 represented in the syndicate and it is the intention to buy the plants outright, but each firm can take a certain number of shares and retain an interest in administering the affairs of the branch which was once their own. The largest number of seed houses aro lo- cated in Philadelphia and over $2,060,000 is in- vested. About tre times as much business is done here as in New York. ‘The entire capital invested in the seed business in this country, that is, in the principal eastern cities, is cati- mated at $10,000,000. The English syndicate has offered more than this amount to secure control of the business. WILL PROBABLY FAIL, A prominent seed merchant in Philadelphia said yesterday: ‘The syndicate has been trying for some time to secure control of tho seed business. but they have been so long about it that I think the thing will fall through.” Besides trying to secure the seed business, # syndicate has been formed to get and control the nursery business, anda number of nurse- ries have been secured. TO CONTROL THE NURSERY BUSINESS. In the nursery business nearly all the large and flourishing concerns have been secured, both east and wost, and 80 great has been the pressure that some of the most substantial bave felt forced to enter the Enghsh combina- tion. The leading concerns of Geneva, Dans- ville and Rochester have felt compelled to go into the deal. a of capture has been to give two-thirds of the owner's estimation of the value of the concern, leaving the owner still to own one-third, besides being a subordi- nate manager in the great combin: The eastern combine just concluded sentsen English capital of $5,000,000.

If CAUSED “RUN.” Effect on the North River Bank of Tuesday’s Scare in Wall Street. ‘The North River Bank at the corner of Dey and Greenwich streets, New York, closed its doors yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, the state bank examiner taking charge of its ; affairs. The bank is a member of the clearing house, being fifty-eight on the list. It operates under a state charter granted in 1642 Last week the clearing house circular showed the North River Bank as having a capital of $240,- 000, » surplus of $118,500; loans, $2,000,018; deposits, $1,975,000, and cash on hand, $270,- 000. This is one of the banks which had to. be helped out by the clearing house on Tuesday. It loaned too much money, according to the statement of the cashier. The amount involved, play Spey Brokaw said, rary — than 1.000. Its dealings were unrainly w: rO- duce merchants of “Greenwich street vi- cinity, THE FAILURES WITHOUT EFFECT. The failures on the exchange had no effect on the market yesterday, and, although the North River Bank was known to be in trouble, the fact that it was in the hands of the exam- iner did not come out until after the close of the market. Its failure will have no effect on Wall street. The financial straits to which the North American Company has been reduced prised many who thought they were well Posted as to its affairs, Officers of the com- pany have given their friends as well as those with whom they did business to understand that the corporation owed « comparatively small amount, say about 2,000,000. It ap- pears, however, that it has been borrowing several times that amount, probably $7,000,000. It waa developed at the meeting yesterda: that the company had very nearly exhausted all of its available collateral, and could not there- fore margin its loans as much as might be re- quired in case the prices of the Northern Pa- cific stocks should decline further. THE VILLARD SECURITIES, Mr. Villard’s private secretary hag made & statement in which he “Mr. Villard, after the loss of his son last summer, decided to go to Europe with his fam- ily for two years. Everything connected with the properties known as tho ‘Villard socuri- ties’ was in first-rate condition so far as their earnings and dividends wero concerned and that condition is not changed today. So far from ‘rigging’ the market he was himself the largest individual holder of them and be con- tinues to be so. “Any imputations against Mr, Villard’s char- acter in connection with this crisis are as groundless as those against his solvency. Ho has neither failed nor has he been the cause of Decker, Howell & Cv.’s failure. Both Decker, Howell’ & Co. and their assignee have publicly stated this fact and it will appear more dis- tinctly when their affairs are hquidated.” a d BETTY’S MANY HUSBANDS. Though Not Yet Twenty-five Years of Age She Has Been Married Six Times. Ten years ago the little tavern at Emersons‘ Mills in the Pine run lumber region of north- western Pennsylvania was kept by an odd character, Elias Benton, He hada very pretty daughter named Betty. Her mother was dead and she looked after the househoid affairs of the tavern, She was sixteen years old, and Edward Shott, a bark contrector, young and well-to-do, was in love with her and wanted to marry her. Betty wanted to marry young Shott, but her father had other plans, and she was compelled to obey. He chose for her hus- band a man three times her age, who owned & large pine tract in the neighborhood, a valua- ble property that Landlord Benton was anxious to possess, He compelled his sixteen-year-old daughter to marry this man, Aulds by name. He lived only six months and left his young widow the pine land, which her father sold and appropriated the proceeds to his own THE CHILD WIDOW'S SECOND EXPERIENCE. # Young Shott in the meantime had closed his contracts and gone away. One year after the death of her husband Mrs. Aulds married, to spite her father, John Grover, a sawyer, He was killed in employer's mills one month later. The landlord’s daughter was now twice a widow, although she was not yet eighteen — old. Two months atter her second hus- and’s death Edward Shott returned to Emer- son’s Mills, and on her eighteenth birthday young Widow Grover, who had grown defiant of her father, married her old-time love, The couple lived happily for a year, and one child was born. ‘The child was’ not two weeks old when the father wes crushed to death by a falling tree in the woods, Widowed now for the third time, the landlord's daughter mourned her third husband sincerely for two years. About this time her father died. At the age of twenty-one she made what was regarded as a most fortunate marriage, her fourth husband being Elmer James, 2 young Warren county lawyer. James turned out to be a drunkard. He abused his wife anc her child so shamefully that sho had no difficulty in obtaining a divorce, which was granted four months after she became Mrs. James. AN OLD AND THEN A YOUNG HUSBAND, She remained single then until she was twenty-three, when she married George Rhon>, a widower of fifty, He was a prominent man in the locality. “Before they were married a year Rhone died with the small pox. His young wife nursed him ail through the course of the dreadful disease, escaping without tak- ing it herself. Rhone left his widow $10,000 in cash. Notlong after her last husband's death she took her child and went to Ohio. where she had relatives living.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub | ecribers. The remaining 6,740 copies represont the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, ené by newsboys. But of this latter number a vory large proportion is supplied regularly to per manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), so that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family j circle. While its aggregate circulation there fore gives Tue Stan a distinctive and enviable position m modern journnlism, the fullness of Sts home circulation, the extent to which % is relied upon by members of the houschold, and particularly by the pur+ chasing portion of the comm ity, are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily Journal pow published can furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It is a.well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business men of Wastingtou, who seek and know where to find THE LARGEST BETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tur Stan's edvertising patronage. Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem im which any article is beld by the public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad verse claims and pretentiouscompetition. The figures following teil the story on this point: NUMBER OP NEW ADVERTISEMANTS *RINTED 1887. 1888, 1889. 3,615 4,076 4,556 3547 3,924 4,528 4,669 4,603 5,494 5,478 4,956 5,884 5,395 5,171 6,033 4,522 4,606 5,529 3,35 3,915 4,453 3.170 3.508 4,608 4,517 4,904 5,593 5,313 5,412 6.550 5,038 4,689 6,107 5,093 5,007 5,795 increase of advertising is shown. The larger space required for advertisements during the year 1889 as compared with that occupied im 1888 is even more striking. the aggregate, being s total gain over the pre vious yea‘ of 1444 columns! And this, it mast be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, etc., such as cocasionally swell the basiness of political organs, being included im its petrom tgs In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, fm proportion to the extent and high charactet Of its circulation, Tazz Sran's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest im the country, and to add, finally, that every statement hereia made can be abundantly verifed THE CIB CULATION OF THE PAPER I8 SWORN TQ) ITS PRESS AND CIRCULATION BOOMS ARB OPENTO THE PUBLIC, AND ITS BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED BY ANY ONE HAVING ,
