LANCASTER, JULY 3), 1887.
Tke IWtchkUs Geb.
It Is something of a reflection en the en
terprlse of our government, but greatly te
the credit of American inventive genius
that all machine guns of any value, with
one exception, have been the inventions et
Americans. Our war gave impulse te in
ventive genius in the matter of weapons,
and when we suddenly turned from the cul
tivation of the arts of war te these of
peace, the Inventors found encouragement
abroad and perfected weapons that have
had a most important lntluence upon mili
tary science.
1). B. Iletchklss, an American, invented
a machine gun that has been adopted as
standard by every civilized nation in the
World with the single exception of the
United States, and it is with satisfaction
that we note the Bignlng of a contract by
the secretary of the navy which will at last
lead te the establishment of a branch of the
Iletchklss gun factory in this country.
The inventions of Mr. Iletchklss have
bad a singular history. He made a
alx-peunder rilled field piece in 1KG
which was highly commended by a
United States military commission and
promptly bought by the Mexican govern
ment. Foreign powers appreciate the
value of our expert commissions far better
than our own government and are quick
te act upon their conclusions. This gun
was captured by the French in Mexico and
sent te l'aris as a curiosity, whereupon
Napeleon III decorated Mr. Iletchklss for
advance in artillery science shown in this
first successful rilled field gun. He then
invented an improved; slull which was
much used in the war. He went te
l'aris after the war and in six weeks made
4u,0tK by the invention of a metallic
cartridge case which was adopted
by the Trench government. At the close
of the France - Uermau war he
set te work te reinedv the defects
of tbemitraillemgand the result was the
famous Iletchklss gun, which the
United States was the first nation after
i ranee te Ust and approve. When travel
ing from Vienna te .Bucharest in the
railway (rain, he fell into conversation
with a Iteumanian efllcer who liaptenetl
te be a great enthusiast en the subject of
magaziue rilles ; shortly after the conver
sation the train stepped at a station for
dining. Mr. Hotchkiss ate his dinner, and
then taking a newspajier from his pocket
sketched the scheme of a magazine ritle en
the margin, made the single note " this is
a magazine ritle, shape it up," and mailed
the paper te his ellice in l'aris. The
sketch was shaped upas directed, and the
ritle was under cempetitie test within
three months. This was the rille after
wards wlepted and new in the United
States navy. This was one of the first
official adoptions of a magazine rille in any
service.
He died in I'.iris in 1SSI, but though the
firm is a foreign one, the control of the lu lu
veutieus is yet in the hands of Americans.
France, Germany, ltussia and KngLuid
aretheptincipal users or these guns, and
of the 5,1(37 manufactured, only two have
failed:
The siguing of the contract with this
great company means the establishment in
the United States of a factory. Such an es
tablishment should be far enough from the
sea coast te insure safety in the event of
war and near enough te furnish its war ma
terial promptly for harbor defense and
naval armament. Lancaster is just the
place, near te the coal, Iren and steel, and
offering the best markets in the world,
cheap homes and geed schools, for a high
class of skilled labor. Let our Heard of
Trade waken up and talk te the Hotchkiss
people in a business way.
Sugar and Molasses.
Cel. Switzler, chief of the bureau of
statistics, has published a quarterly report
en sugar and molasses, which shows among
ether thlDgs that 2S,0 per cent, of all
customs duties collected in 1&S.3 was from
these articles. While in ISbO, L7 percent,

that "already women workers for suf

rights of opinion attacked by leaders in the

proof of its charge it presents from the

details of a county convention of the W. C.

We fail te see why the 0711 Court is

AIkiuI 4:30 Friday altemoen a tire broke
out In an old dairy suble en the north side of

This quarter was covered with an old distill,

known as "Slop Town." In Iheslx acres of
ground covered by this village In the midst
of a city there were 11 n brick buildings, one
el which was used aa a grocery. All the
ether buildings were tenements or dwellings,
one and two stories high, and old ball dilapi

The secretary of tbe interior has denied
the claim of William Uedgspelh, ex-private
in the Forty-second Indiana volunteers.
The case Is an uncommon one, and has been
the subject et much discussion by pension
ductals, lledgspeth was captured In lsU
and confined as a prisoner at Anderaehvllle.
After remaining in captivity live months
he enlisted in the Confederate army,
he says, te escape starvation, and se Informed
bis fellow-prisoners, adding that at tbe tirst
opportunity he would desert, and if possible
make bis wsy back te his old command.
Alter a short service In the Confederate
army he carried out this intention
snd tin Uly reached his regiment in
which he served until discharged.
Seme years age lledgspeth applied for a (ten
sion en the ground of disability contracted
while in tbe federal service. Tela fact waa
fully sustained. The law provide that no
one who aided directly or indirectly the
enemies of tbe government In the late
war shall be permitted te draw a pen
sion. Iledgpeth's brief connection with
tbe Confederacy made him amenable te the
law. Hla motive, It is said, cannot be taken
into consideration. Opinions by thedczsn,
some favorable and ethers unfavorable, have
been written upon tbe case by the different
etticials of the Interior department. At last,
alter the lapse of years, It reached tbe secre
