A Complete Test Made at the Indian Head Testing Grounds. Thu navy department has made a further t"st of the representative battleship Turret, which has heretofore lieen tired on at Indian Head. This time tlm purpose was not to try the pint", but to ascertain the displacing ef. feet of heavy shot upon thu structure, with a view to making sure that, as mounted on shipboard, it would not be disabled by gnu lire.

A novel ar rangement of stylus mid chronograph, de vised for the i.urpos" by the ordnance ofll cers, attached to th" turret, showed not only how much it was displaced by the shot, but also tlm velocity of the movement, a most important factor necessary to establish the strength to be given the resisting mechanism. In this ense tlm turret was driven back by the shot four iiiel a half Inches, and In going back it was lifted twice bodily into the air, at llrst as niuch as a half inch olT tlm roll-T p'liths; 'The iiinxiTiihtii VulicitV (. tiiu 'Mil lion was seven mi l a half Inches per second, so that the ordnance officials regnr 1 It as ci rtain that the usual restraining device will be ipiite sullliieu. to insure the safety uf thu turret.

Wednesday evening a cloud burst north of Reaver Fall causing Walnut run, small stream that flow along thn west aide of town, to become a ruglug river, and to final ly overflow It banks, causing one of thn greatest flood In the north end of town that has ever been wltnesvd. The sen of water oovered a thickly populated district, acre In extent, four and five feet deep. The In habitants, having the fear of the prediction made that today the world would come to an end, concluded that the prediction wan coming true, And became panic-stricken. The scene for fully an hour tieggars de scription, men, women and children fled screaming with terror to higher ground, where they viewed the rushing torrent thai was filling th" lower stories of their home with dismay, people who had not time to escape retreated to the upper floor of their nouse nnd men appeared at ttio upper win dows, wringing their hand nnd crying for rescue. Others dashed nut Into the Hood with their little on In their arm and on their bucks, and by wading waist-deep man aged to reach the hill west of the inundated district. In the business portion of that part of the town th" street car track was two feet under water, and all trallle was stopped. store rooms were tilled with mud nud debris, and the sidewalks were torn up, hardly a store room along Flghth avenue, from Twenty- second to Twenty-sixth stpet, escaped be. Ing Hooded; cellars were tilled and oull'Ulld ing were washed awnv. The big mills of the Consolidated steel work were several feet under water. The Marginal railway wa several feet under water, nnd washed awny In several places. The 1 leaver Full chemical work and thu Art tile works were flooded. A small stream called llntcher's tun, along which I located a iiumtsT of slaughter houses, was swollen to such an unprecedented degree that the slaughter houses wer overflowed, and all the filth and all they contained was washed Into Walnut run, nnd then down Into thestrlcken district, causing a terrible stench and lodg ing in among the house Thu damage will reach thousand of dol lars, which cannot yet be vstlmnted. For tunately no lives were lost. Several families of Hungarians that lived near the bank ef the stream In a very low place had to le res cued from the upper stories of their home with improvised rafts.
