Perhaps by tills tlmo they have got over their
care enough to tell what really happened to
them, bat they couldn't do It yesterday, and tho
tory which they told was that tho elevator had
fallen with them from the twelfth story to the
fourth, and thero suddenly fetched up with as
sorted results.
A man who wasn't on the ear at all can best
tell what hnppened, and this Is It:
The eight passengers and the elevator man
Hero all coming down In the express elevator,
which runs Id the well on the north sldo of tho
building and on the Droadvrny side of tho well.
These express elevators do not stop, usually,
below the twelfth floor until they get to the
atrert.
This one had been clear up to the top of tho
000 and odd foot structure, and on Its way down
bad gathered In eight men. It stopped at the
twelfth floor, and when It was started down
from there went a-whlrrlnir. Its usual speed Is
600 feet a minute. If nothing unusual had
happened on this trip no one In the car would
have realized how fast that Is to drop; but sud
denly something did happen. At tho fourth

I After Many Years of Coaalderatlea Oaa
Much Obi la Aathorlaea,
WasniNGTOi, June 13. One of the most
novel and Interesting provisions of the new
Fortifications act Is that which proposes the
purchase of thn forcings for a type ltMnoh
gun. Tho gun factory at Watervllet is al
ready arranged Itn a view to handling and
finishing ordnance of this calibre, so tnat the
whole plan can be carried out.
The ld-lncb, 100-ton Armstrong mnzzlo load
er was known more than twenty years ago.
In 1870 such a gnn was fired at Spezla with
an energy of about 33,000 foot tons, and three
years later this had seen increased to about
44,000. The breech-loading Armstrong 100
ton gnn acblevedater over 40,000 foot tons,
and thence tho energy was increased to more
than 60,000, Some of the big battle ships of
Italy, such a the Dulllo, Dandolo, Italia, and
Lepanto, were supplied with 100-ton guns,
and then 110-ton irunaof about 104 Inches
calibre were provided for some of the Eng
lish battle ships, such as the IJcnbow, Vlc
i tori-, and Sansparell.
I It Is therefore not surprising that when
our Fortifications Hoard, appointed under the I
act of March .1, 18H., drewnp a plan of
coast and Zharbor defence. It made ltl-lnch
gunZone feature of the armunients proposed.
These guns'nero to; be mounted at a few of
the leading ports of the country, and their i
total number was forty-four. However. It
I was first necessary to begin with munufactur- I
lne tho smaller calibres, and although authority
has been asked year after year for proceeding
with the Ill-Inch guns, never until now ha It
been granted.
Various causes may bo assigned for this fact
Prominent among them was the fallnni of sev
eral of the lirltlsti 110-ton guns, and the subse
quent decision of the Britlth naval authorities
to limit to tho lS.lnch calibre all guns there
after to lie monntod In their ships. This latter
decision was not wholly due, perhaps, to the un
fortunate experiences had with some of thn 1 10
tsn guns, but In part to tho grcntgiln In etTec
tlvetiess made by the 12-ln-li a rid smaller calibres
anil also to the fact that these latter would, if
necessary, admit of working by hand In cose
of Injury to th machinery whero the 10-Inch
gnn would not? Of course, also, tho rapidity
of fir would be much greater.
Hut whatever the causes of the change, the
result was felt In an Intlliposltloii to build 10
inch guns for our forts, because tho original
proposal to do so was based on the tlienri that
the !ort should havens good onlnunca ut om
mnnd as that which would h brought to hear
i against them In hostile ship.. Uliiln tin re
mill remained mounted on Mime ships guns of
10-Inch calibre, and others l.etweeii that and
It! Inches, It was considered that the tmiiimi"v
would bo to clvu up tlien heavy plores. and
that they might perhaps be lsplatcd wholly
by a larger number of st-allei guns Iwfnre HI
Inch ordnanrenf our own (fiiild be Hiipplled,
Indeed, even this tear the Hoii'e nt iirt re
fused to necedo to Hen, Flairler'a request for
authority to build ono Ill-Inch gun, hut the
Senate ncted fjrmnbly upon It, and thuii tho
IIous concurred.
The ground on which this step has been
taken Is, In tho first plii", that there arc still
heavier calibres than the l','-lnch afloat, and,
secondly, that, with tho great Improvements
B lnu.mor rctmtly mad", and still going on,
tho 12-Inch gun may not prom adequate to
cope with htilii ship. It Is noted that on the
prnvltg ground tho target can bo het up In

Eight balloU wero Ukon wlthott' result In
tho endeavor to Q1I Alexandro Jlumas's sen'. In
tho French Academy, and If M. Zola did not
succeeil In securing tho elei Hon he desired, ho at
least bent off a determined opposition. Two scuts
were to be filled nt tho election- Pasteur's, for
which Gaston I'arls, the romance philologist
and protestor nt the t'ollego do Franco, wns
practically the only candidate, and that of
Dumas tils, the special placo thatola would
like to taxo, for nulilt ha announce! hltusolf
n cnudldato as soon as Dumns was dead, and
to securo which ho has pulled all his wlics, the
climax liclng the publication ot "Homo" a few
da) s before the eloetlon. There were only
thirty-three voters, as tho death of Loon Sny
had roducod the number of academicians to
thirty-seven, of whom the last two, M. Analoto
France and tho Marquis Cost do Uenuregnrd,
though duly elected, had not jet been for
mally recelxed Into the Acadcmj, while two
others were sick,
M. Hoiinetlere of th Ifrtiie drs JVar .ViindM
had org.uiize.1 the opposition to Zola
nnd uued heiiNcn at d earth to prevent his
election, but only two of the other rnndldatei
representee' nn thing. M. Harlioux, on whom
the opposition at last eombli ei'. Is a leading
laywer at the I'arls bar, and it Isa tradition of
the Academy that lawyers of marked elo
quence shall tie ail ml tied. M. Henri llectie,
who was not earnestly supported. Is tho ai-nstle
of a iinmb-pnmby torm of realism In plat,
consisting mainly lu cutting out of the dia
logue every cmblaiico m wit or brightness,
but lie was certainly u forerunner of lucciilMu

As candidates must announce themeles
and make formal visits on ull the acndeml
clous, the contest lomprlsid two nb-mlutely
unknown jiersons. who, obtained novoto lu
any ballot.
'Iho result of the first ballot was; Zola, 10:
Ilarboux, Alcard, Saint-Aiiiand. i; each;
llecque, 3: blank, "; neces-oir for n cholie,
IT. lly the thlld ballot ZnIa, Hnrlmux, and
Alcard had II each, tho rest nowhere: on tho
tlfth Zola reached his highest number, 14,
with Harlioux only one behind him, and In
the Inl twu Inllots Harlioux had ltl votes,
one less than he nets led for an election, whilo
I Zola's vole hnd sunk to h, tho lest scatter
ing. It was clear that If Zola could not bo
elected the opposition could not uro iv ma
jority, so the election vt put off till the fall.
Mnco tho voting Jules Simon's deith has
created another vacancy. M. Haihouv. Is sure
to be cho-cn to the Academy, regardless of

trjlng to raie up against him a dangcn.us

Following the example of many of her fellow
actresses. Miss Allele Hitchle Is going to sell off
hor properly, mainly of a housi bold nature, at
auction and sail for Kuropo. For threo years
and under various circumstances Miss Hitchle

of the tilings that go to furnish a house. She

and dresses, will be aold.
Whenever a theatrical woman sells off her
property all the other stage puople In tun n flock
to tlie sale to criticise It. Tho men say, Well,
did you ever ecu such a rotten lot of stuff ?" and
the women say, "There Isn't a thing hue I'd

and inoni-v scarce In tlnalrlral lines nt this

aurevses Just now and Miss Hltchlo's miction
will probably look like an Actors' Fund fair.
