About six months later he accidentally fell while carrying a pail of water from a stream and broke his leg again.

[ Somo Diacovorien CoiicitiiIiij; tliu Hit; (inn* f ???? ilktf Now CruUMrr. } New York, April 20.?The fact that it J lms been found necessary to shaft tho 'j position of the Chicago's quarter boats, t so as to preserve them for being blown to pieces by the concussion tliut follows tho discharge of the new high power f steel rifles, brings to light several prob- ( lems in naval architecture and gunnery. 0 Tho Chicago boat p:oblem is just this: 0 Tho after boats of that cruiser were r swung on davits, which, as usual on j ships of her general model, wero swung v outboard. With tho old-fashoncd Par- ? rott guns this could bo done with perfect t( safety to the boats, but in the old I'ur rott guns tho charge of powder was only f, about one-tenth tho weight of tho mis- J, silo, while in the uew high power rifles (j the charge is sometimes six-tenths. t< That is, for a shell in a I'arrott gun of 100 pounbs weight only ten pounds of powder would bo used, while in one of tho Chicago's guns the same shell would V have sixty pounds of powder behind it. The result is that the concussion from the discharge of oue of the new guns is u something,terrible?so great, iu fact, that when one of tho six-inch guns on the n gun deck of tho Chicago is tirod directly ^ along a lino with her Keel, tho boats on the side from which the gun is fired are ? smashed into kindling wood. . Homo of tho naval oflicers claim that it ' would not have made much difference, a for the Chicago might lmvo lived her life I without the necessity arising for the dis- ? charge of her guns at this angle. Tho Department took the view, however, ? that a man-of-war's boats aro something like an Oklahoma man's pistols. "She may not need them often, but when she does need them, she needs them power ful bad," and the boats are being swung inboard. The cruiser Boston shows another cu rious phase of this question of concus sions from the discharge of the big guns. When the six-inch gnu is tired from tho after port its muzzle is not more than half :i dozen feet from tho barbette in which stands tho eight-inch gun, and so great is tho concussion when the six-inch gun is fired in that position that it is impossible for a man to live in the bar bette. To test this question fully, somo time ago somo sheep were confined in the barbette, and tho six-inch gun was tired. Not a single sheep remained alive. They had all been killed by the shock. When asked if this was not a serious defect in tho ellectivenessof the Boston's battery, a naval ofllcer replied: "No, it is not nearly so serious as it would ap pear at tlrst. Of ?0ur50, it would bo bet ter if both these guns could be lired at once, but there is little likelihood of tho necessity of so doing arising. In ease of a tight tho clg|itrJt)p}i gun would bo able ' to fully protect our rear. If it by any means should become silenced, then tho men could be withdrawn from the bar bette the six-inch would become nHi'otlve." ? A TKKKllihK *hXt'1.0S10N.

To-day'* fiumo?Ventoriiay's Dull ltcionU Klsewliorc, It was anything but seasonable weathe (or base ball playing yesterday, but never tliuleas there were about -100 enthusiast who braved the raw, cold winds tha sported over Island park tinging witl purple hue people's ears, noses am chins, that they might witness the ganii played by the Wheeling club with tin Detroits, erstwhile of the big Natioua League, now one of the leading organi nations in the International League Had the day been worm and ploasanl like those of a week ugo, the number in attendance would probably have boon double what it was. It was so cold that it was not thougbl to bo possible for a close aud brilliant game to be played, for players feel the effects of cold ttie same as other people and chilled and stiffened lingers are not expected to hold balls that go revolving through space with a cannon ball velo city. Contrary to all expectations, how ever, the game was a splendid one; it was played throughout with a dash that kept up the excitement aud prevented tho marrow from freezing in the bones of the spectators; and to add to the pleasure of the event tho home team won in tho last inning by a score of 4 toll. It was a great gauio and those who were fortunate enough to see it were well repaid for the discomforts they en dured. Kennedy, the liellairo auictuer who was so fortunately picked up by the Wheeling inunage.uent, pitched for the home team and proved a regular puzzler for the visitors. Tho Wolverines started out with Knauss in the box but in live innings he had liittwo men with pitched balls, given two on bases aud had four hits made olT him, and lie was called In and /.ell substituted. Knauss, it will he remembered was a Wheoling pitcher, and a popular one too, last season, and he was warmly received by old friends when he stepped to tho plate. The weather was not his kind, but in what work lie did, lie showed signs of im provement. Tho run-gelling was done as (oIIowb: In the llrst Day, llrst at bat for Detroit, got his base on balls; Cainpau struck out; McGlono knocked up an oasy fly which Orecn muffed; Day was then advanced to third on Kennedy's wild throw and scored on thu play made with tho hit knocked out by Virtue. McGlono readi ed third on safe hit of lirooks and scor ed on another bad throw of Kennedy's. In thu second, Higgins hit to llobrccbt, who tried to hit a bird forty feet above Speidel's head, and Higgins scampored around to third and then reached home on Day's two bnggor. No inoro scores were made by tho visitors, although in the third they had three men on bases and none out, but a brilliant double play made by Jeems Green killed them. Iu tho Bccond inning Hobrecht, for Wheeling, got first on balls, stolo second and went home on two wild pitches. In the third after one man was out Green got his base on balls, went to second on a passed ball and home on a hit by Bowman. In tho ninth tho tido of victory turned to Wheoling as follows: Mannasau got llrst on balls, stole second and third and scooted homo on a bad throw of Goodfellow'stolhird to cut liiin off at that point. Ityau got a base on bails, stole ono and went home on a hit by Dunn. This caused a mighty shout that was repeated when the visitors were blanked in their half, and in the excitement the cold was forgotten. O'ltourko umpired on balls and strikes behind the bat, and Wells, a Detroit inau, traveled around the bases. The score was as follows: DVTUOIT. ill-Ill. liny, h Uampau 1 Mcdloiio, :i Villus, I..
