UNIQUE ARMOR TEST.
Section ot u Warship Successfully
Exiued to Fire.
One of toe most Important armor tests
trei made occurred jestcrday at the In
dian Head proving ground. It was for
the purpose of sailing the disputed ques
tion as to whether the framework of an
armored vessel could withstand a shot
projected from the modern heavy guns.
A side armor plate of the battleship
Iowj. was fitted upon a duplicate secUon
of the frame. The plate was a Carnegie
double-rorgod plate, which was fastened In
position by a new bolt derived by the'ord
nance bureau.
The first test was the firing at 250
yards from a 10-lnch gun of a BOO pound
Carpenter projectile, which struck the
plate with anenergy of 741,000footpouods
and penetrated to the depth of six Inches.
A careful examination uiscioseu no in
Jury to the framework. The second shot
given an energy of 0J1.000 foot pounds,
but produced no Injury.
A 'ttheeler-Sllrling shell was then pro
jected from a 12-incn gun, and struck the
plate with an energy of 1,530,000 foot
pounds. The plate, weakened by tie pre
ceding shots, was cracked, but the shell
did not pass through the wood backing.
All or the tests were In the highest degree
satisfactory.
"Secretary Herbert, Capt. Sampson, chief
f the ordnance bureau, and an unusually
large number of officers were present.

United Slates Treasurer Morgan, who
Is ex-orficio custodian of the District sink

water supply, has rendered to the Comls
slouers bis estimates for the year ending
June 30, 1807, together Willi a statement
of explan jtlo u, which a re as f ollon s:
For clerical sen Ices the estimate Is the
same as last year, one clerk at $1,800 per
annum ami one at $1,200 per annum, re
spectively, Intead of one at $1,500 and one
at $900 per annum. The Treasurer asks
for this recommend jUon the approval of
the Commissioners.
A statement of the ma nncr of arriving at
the amounts required for Interest and sink
ing fund on account of increased -water
supply of the Dlstrlit is appended, lie
says:
Tlio District appropriation act of March
21, 1890, slaUng the Washington aqueduct
appropriation, has the following Items:
For raising tho dam at Great Falls, $120,.
000; testing the tunnel conduit, $20,000; for
report upon the feasibility of completing
tlio tunnel, $10,000, all of which is to be
ta ken from the appropriation for increas
ing the water supply of the city of Wash
ington. ESTIMATED EXPENDITURES.
"The officer in charge of this work es
timates that the expenditures for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 189G, on tills ac
count, will be $80,000; for 1897, about
$60,000, to each of which sums is added
$480 to pay for watchmen heretofore csti
mated for.
"The account would, therefore, stubd as
follows:
"Balance due the United States, July
1, 1890, $08,104; add oik-half estimated
expenditures for fiscal year ending June
30, 189G, or $43,240, and deduct $9,
422 93, the ouc-nrteenth part of $141,
344, the sum of the two preceding amounts,
and the ha lance will be $131,921, which
is the amount due United States, June 30,
180G. Add $32,740, one half estimated
expenditures for 1897, and there will be
due, June 30, of that year, $164,661.07.
"The amount required for the sinking
fund on twelfth Installment will be one
fourteenth part of $164,661.07, or $11,
761.31. "The interest will be 3 per cent, fct
one year, on $131,921.07, or $3,957.63;
Interest on $32,740, advanced during fiscal
year ending June 30, 1897, average time
six months, at 3 per cent., $491.10, the
total required for interest and sinking
fund.
WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.
Mrs. W. L. Clift, acting secretary of the
Woman's Christian Association, has ren
dered to the Commissioners through the
office of Col. John Tracy, superintendent
of charities, a report of the work of the as
sociation for the yearending June30, 1805,
and an estimate for next year, from which
the following extracts are obtained:
"By the report of the reception committee
we find that 366 adults and 21 cables
were admitted to the home during the year,
coming from all parts of the Uulted States
and some from foreign countries. Largest
number in the home any one nlght 61, 23
being pay Inmates. The regulations of the
home provide that six old ladies be admitted
for life by paying $100, their places filled
-when a vacancy occurs.
"The other, consisting of old and young,
middle aged worklngwomen who can pay a
small amount tor board, women with pen
sions, and women who have friends or
churches to help pay in part for their
board, whllemore women whohave no home
or friends and who can pay nothing arc
taken in and cared for than any other class.
The number of paid employes is six,
while nine work for their board.
Paid for board, from $1 to $3 per week;
number of meals given during the year,
14,431; number of meals worked for,
10,720.
The board of managers have, by careful
economy, caved from time to time a fund
amounting to $3,010, known as the build
ing fui'd This ie to le uicd for the en
largement of present building, which is
hard adequate to meet the demandsupon
It.
"A special effort is being made to In
crease this fund this year, a committee
of ladles being appointed to fulicit con
tributions for a new front to our home, as
originally contemplated. We would ask
the Honorable Commissioners to aid us
by appealing to Congress to make an ap
propriation for the same.
"The amount desired for the conduct
and support of the Woman's Christian
Association for the fiscal year ending
Juno 30, 1897, is $4,000."
JANITOR CULLEY'S CASE.
A committee from the Eccentric En
gineers' Association waited, upon the
Commissioners this mowing to call their
attention to the case of Janitor Joseph
Culley, who, it is alleged Is drawing two
salaries one from his position as Janitor
at the high school and the other for
services as engineer at the Ecklngton an
Soldiers' Home power-house. The posi
tion first named pays him $75 a month.
The delegation was composed of E. J.
Rea, "William H. Lewis and F. H. Sears.
These gentlemen were courteously received.
but were requested to put their grievance
In writing and submit it, when it win
be given careful consideration.
The committee will at onco submit a
written communication embodying their
views.
WAS DAMAGED BY FIRS.
Rev. VT. B. Matchett called upon the Com
missioners to-day upon an appeal from the
decision of the building Inspector in the mat
ter of granting a permit for the repair of a
dweling. No. 344 B street southwest, lately
damaged by fire, and naB apparently woi
his case.
The house originally consisted of a main
building fronting on the street, to which
was a email rear addition. The rear por
tion was so badly damaged by fire as to
require that It be torn away, andMr.Match
ett'a Intention wis to replace the roof ot
the main structure and render It habitable.
Under a provision of the building regu
lations the right to repair wooden build
ings is restricted. Should the cost of the
Improvement not exceed 60 per cent, of
the value of the building and the structure
Is good and sound, a permit may be Is
sued. In tbli caaethe Inspector reported
against permitting the repairs to be made,
Mr. Macbelt stated that be merely want
ed to replace tbe roof, and that be could
easily prove that the cost ot such repair
would not exceed tbe limit.
The matter waa referred to Attorney
Thomas, verbally, and he stated that, With
bis understanding of the case, he should,
decide la taror of JaxTMalcnrtt,

SCHOOL LIMIT APPLIES
Anti-Saloon League Opposes a Li
cense For the Portner Flats.
Counsel for Ilotli Sides I'rescnt tue
Mutter to tlio Excise Hoard No
Decision fTtis Itcnotied.
Tbe excise lioard heard arguments to
day for and. against -the application of
William T. Whelau, for license In retail
liquor at the Portner Flats, known alo
as the Virginia Fiats, at No. 310 Seventh
street southwest.
The rmllding In which Mr. Whelan desires
to establish his business, is classed as a
hotel, but Is located within 400 feet of a
prirato school, a Catholic Institution known
as Sacred Heart Academy.-
The fact that hotel bars have been given
by law some privileges that the ordinary
saloon does not possess, has induced Mr.
Whelan to press his application at this
juncture, and bis contention Is that the
400 feet limit ought not to serve as a
barrier to tbe granting of his license.
The Anti Saloon League -was represented
at the bearing by Attorney Shoemaker,
whose argument is that there is no chance
for doubt In the case. The law as origi
nally enforced might haveglven Mr. Whelan
a right to establish a hotel bar, but It
was to meet just such a case, be said,
that tbe act was amended last year.
Section 16, as thus amended, provides,
among other things, that "license for any
of tbe purposes specified In any section of
said act shall not be granted to any person
to conduct such business within 400
feet of a public school, private school
or bouse of worship."
This provision, Mr. Shoemaker says, la
broad enough and clear enough to admit of
but one solution, and that is tbe rejection
of tbe application. The opinion of Attor
ney Thomas, District counsellor, rendered
In December, 1893, which Mr. Whslan-now
quotes In support of his plea, Is not now
applicable, Mr. Shoemaker arjrues, the
amendment to tbe law having been since
enacted to Include tbe class of applicants
upon which Mr. Thomas was expressing nls
opinion.
Attorney Donaldson was before the board
as counsel far several occupants of tha
Portner, who desired to be beard
In protest against tbe lssaanoe of tbe license.
Ths lntsrssts ot Mr. Whslan were repre
sented by Mr. Frank Madlgan.
r The board decided to re far tbt case to At
torney Thomas for nls consttaotioa of tbe
law. and it wilt probably be a week or more
. before 11 is finally decided. . ,
