In an other gun In the ill-fated De Rnssey battery the device was found defective when Gen. Crozler applied unusual force, such os was never deemed ne cessary In tests and examinations. Just before the accident the gun was pronounced by oflleers to be In proper condition. FROM CON8TANT>RECIPITATION WEATHER VEERED AROUND TO ANOTHER EXTREME YES TERDAY. Asheville, N. C.. July 13, 1310.
