Di verse Opinions as te the .'niie of the.
Itceent Accident.
Mr. Cramp, the builder of the Vesulus,
wys that the icccnt awident te the pneu
matic gun abeaid that vessel was isinseil
by the collapse of a tast Iren shell in tlie
bore. The mishap t euld net ha vn iKvuritsl
if the shell had been leaded with sand, as
is usual, or witli gun cotton, or they w ill be
used in action, and again the sorvice shell
Is maile of sheet steel.
A loprcsentatlvo of tlie ship building
('euiiauy says, however, that the accident
was due te careless miiuipultitien ; that the
bieach block was net locked, se that the
east lien shell sagged and was easily de de
stieyed by the air blast. Tlioilaiuagecaubo
e.isllv reaircd. Meanwhile naval elllcers
are (llvusslng tlie occurrence, and wonder
ing whether It ran be legarded as evidenc
ing a ilaugcieus theoietical weakness in
the prluclple of construction.
Thes who have piuurd their faitli en the
dyiMtiille toriKsle vessel Vesuius have,
iKtMiidiug totlie Messis. Cramp, no leasen
te be dlsheaitened bv the mishap which
oecurnsl te ene of tlie pneumatic tubes
tliieugh the eollapseof an empty dummy
shell in the breach during the iccent ex
periments. Yesterday the s.11110 gun was
was liicd suvcial times with the most per
fect success.
Mr. Charles Cramp is in Washington
with lefcrcnce te the bids for the coast
defonse vessel. A leperter saw Henry
Crump at his residence In Philadelphia en
Filday, mid he smilingly shook his head
at tlie Idea of the test being a conclusive
one. "Yeu see," he remarked, "that the
mechanism of these guns loeniios careful
manipulation. The accident was 0110 w hlch
might have occurred te any erdiniry gun,
and was ipiite in tlie way with the experi
ments which are new being tiled. The
ebje t Is te llud out all tlie w oak points and
then remedy llieni, which is being done as
rapidly as possible. Depend usin it, tlie
Vesin ius, when complete, will be ene of
the most formidable war ehst1s nlleat ; as
a coast defense vessel she w ill be unri
valed, which is what she was leally con
stituted I'er.
"Tlie ex pel iiueuts te-day wcre eminently
satisfactory, and the naval expcits have no
fault te llud witli either the vessel or her
guns. The fact of her suivcss Is oidenicd
by the anxiety of teieign gexcrnmeuts te
elilain essels of a similar tyie."
There has been a great ileal of prejudice
against the dyn.imite beat iifKiii the part of
I'crlalu navy elllcers, and that has ksl them
te scie upon every trivial delay in tlie
working el tlie guns te air their lielibies.

The Contest Fer Hist riot Attorney Lively
lletwiui ttel nielli and Keniusly The
l'ermer Likely te Cnrry tlie City.
The contest for control between the rival
factious of the ltepublicaii jmrly Is being
waged le-day. The last cards vvere
printed en Friday, the IxhmAIe was sent te
the country districts and new tlie result Is
anxiously awaited.
The weather may be nil lnierlaiit factor
In determining the contest for district at
torney and as te the result if 11 light vote
is olled there Is n dlllerence of opinion.
A prominent Kennedy manager when
asked his opinion of the result en a light
vote said that Majer Heltuehl had the best
of it for the reason that Iho vote In Iho city
and Isireughs will coiue out, regardless of
Iho w eather and lu Ihose districts Itcliuehl
will lead.
A second Kennedy man leek nn entirely"1
different view. IIe said Iho vele would net
be light even if it did mill, because the
f.irmeis could net de any weik and would
go te the Hills. He lielloved the weather
10 be favorable le Kennedy's election.
OnoerMnjor Hcliin'lii'n frlendi was next
seen and he was Inclined te tlie opinion
that the heavier the vote tlie better weie
Iteluiehl's chances. He based his belief
en tlie theory that the rural voter will be
governed in their cholce by the Knt and
A'e(Miirr, and If thai vele comes out
heavy he said he did fear tlie result. A
a light vote, he concluded, might elttt
Kennedy.
Fer an oil' year there has been 11 iaige
amount ofheodlo spent. Fer the past day
or two nil Iho township bosses have been
coming te town. Thny saw the faction
bosses, KHolved their Instructions mid
boedlo and went away happy.
Tlie town bummers have net thought el'
working the imsl week. They were kept
well supplied with whisky, and te-day
will be inarched te the polls like sheep.
At the election three years age Mnjer
Belne'hl carried all the wards, and had
about thirteen hundred majority In tlie
city. In the contest te-day Kennedy's
friends count iimii keeping his majority
down le dot).
It leeks as ir Keniusly will cairythe
Second, Thlid nnd Fourth wards, ami
make a geed light in the Filth and Ninth.
Itcliuehl w ill carry the Vlrst, Sixth, Sov Sev
enthand Klghlh vv arils heavy.
Theiewas some dltllculty up le te-day
Infixing matteislii the Flghth ward but
Iho Indications aie that everything was
harmoniously ariangisl and that the veto of
Iho ward will be practically solid for tlie
Hull lliug-anll Quay ticket.
The (lopping of Jehn McLaughlin, one of
the Hull King stand-bys nnd Ills candi
dacy en Iho Heg Blng tli-kel, has upset Iho
calculations or some politicians, A deter
mined elleit will be made te beat him for
his lieaclicry and it leeks nn If he w euld tin
defeated.
There never was a contest in this clly
and county lu which the Hues weromeio
strictly dtavv n, and the result will be ac
cepted ns an Indication of vv hlch faction is
011 top.
Organizations weie agreed iimmi lu
nearlj all the winds, lu the Third ward
thojudge is Martin Krelder, iu the Fifth,
Dr. Craw foul, and lu the Sixth James II.
Maihhall.
In the Second wind there will be ipiite a
contest foreeunty committee. A.F. Slienck,
w he has held that position Ter several yeais,
has for ids opponent David llcttew, but
Sheuck is the best politician in tlie ward
and will be hard le beat. He is supported
by Kennedy's fiiends, while Levi Sensenlg
Is doing all' In his power te sociiieShouck's
defeat.
HOW AT TIIU hlX'OSIl WAIin.
Them was a big light Ter control in the
Second ward, the home of Kennedy. At
'' o'clock Ceiiiinltteeinan Slienck called the
meeting le elder, in tlie iinhway adjoin
ing the County heuse. Ile asked for
nominations for Judge, and the Sensciilg
faction named Jehn II, .Miller. Kennedy
nominated Tlies. J. Davis and at ouce
leek a vote. Ile decided Davis elected
which announcement caused ipiite a row
for a time.
Ile next willed for nominations for clctk
and ('. Kcose lidiy and Shadier McNeill
woie pieniplly named by Iho Kennedy Me Me
leon and as piemptly declared elected.
When the boa id was announced Iho
Sensenig faction declared UialDavissheiild
net go into the box nnd a scullle eusuid,
which was p.irtiilpaled lu by at least 11
hundred men. Winer Bewman appeared
le lie the hsider of tlieSenscnlg forces, and
Jehn Maishall of the Kennedy men.
The scullle did net end until the election
booth w as tern dew 11. Davis and the Ken
iusly cleiks managed le git lnside the
enclosure, and there tliey weie piotected
by their friends.
As a last icsert policemen wcre telo tele telo
pheuisl for and It was only alterlhu arrival
of Olllcers Seigler, Lehr uud htiiinpf and
Constable Sides, that order was sulllclently
restored le go 011 with the election.
It was fully 3::w o'clock when the election
lsi.iid was ready te receive votes.
Scnsenlg's friends swear that they weie
in the majority and proviso te contest tlie
cloitleu en Monday. Kennedy's friends
claim Unit the row was prearranged te
pi event a lull vote being polled.
