Gatiiny’s New Life Destroyer.
Washington, June 27.— Dr. Gatling, the
inventor of the famous Gatling gun, is in
the city. He will sown have ready a new
form of his machine gun specially devised
for use by the police in our great cities.
It will be constructed on the same principle
as his Large street and field gun, but will
lie very light and compact. The barrels
of the gnu are only twelve inches long,
and the whole thing, when mounted on
a police wagon, will not weigh more than
fifty pounds. His idea is to have two or
three of these guns mounted on a police
wagon which can be driven rapidly to the
scene of a threatening riot. Each gun will
fire at least 1,000 shots a minute, and the
doctor's notion is that the mere knowledge
that such weapons are in the possession of
the police will of itself prevent any violent
action by a mob.

afternoon. The services were arranged by
the family in accord with the quiet, mod

a massive plate, bearing the inscription;

ings, including a combination of feather

clergyman was Rev. W. G. Pierce, a rela
tive of the family, who read the Episcopal
burial service. The procession which fol
lowed the remains to the grave was of un
usual length.

of immense length. Part of the priestly
vestment, moldy and decayed with age,
but still intact, was secured for a count y

likely that steps will be taken to restore
the finger bone if the person who lias it can
be identified.

maintain that she was fighting for the
rights of woman. She wrote the following
