A Queer Craft that Was Tested In the Xorth
lllver on tlie SIStlu
Now York special: Tho drenm of Jules
Verne seems to ha vo been rcnlized in a boat
constructed by an American Inventor.
Tlio Wotld this morning gives the followliif
account of tho trial of the boat: "Thostib
marine torpedo bont invented by Professor
.1. II. L. Tuck was yesterday tested and
proved a prncticnl success in tho presence
of a largo party of gentlemen Interested.
They went aboard the steamer Chance
Shot at Eighty-sixth street. North river.
The submarluo vessel lay like a gigantic
turtle lashed to the steamer's side. She
bus been christened the Pence-Maker. She
was constructed at tho yard of C. II. Dcln
meter .t Co.. and is thirty feet long with a
brcndlh of beam of eight and ouo-lialf feet
and a depth of seven and one-hull feet.
The bow and stern taper off from amid
ship, and the forward end of the vessel Is
surmounted by a dome twclvo inches high,
which is set withg ass and just lnrgocnoiigh
for a pilot to get his head into. Admission
to the boat is through a circular scuttle
abaft of tlio dome. At tho stern there is a
propeller and rudder of tlio ordinary fash
ion, ami two horizontal rudders with which
Iho boat mny bo deflected up or down.
The interior is hall filled with machinery
and UK'i'iianiciii devices, including a power
ful'liltle Weslliighouso engine. Compressed
nir is stored in six-inch pipes running
nrouml tlio interior, nnd the arrangements
nio made by which air mny be supplied by
chemicals. A gunge registers the depth of
t lira vessel beneath the surface. Light is
liirnished by incandescent electric lights.
At, ye turd y's experiment Captain John
O. Holland and Kugineer John II. Kline
siippid down into tho iron hull and fust
ned the nir tight scuttle. Then tho cap
tain's head appeared in tho Lookout domo
and the iron fish started up tho river. She
hud not gone one hundred feet before sho
dippi'd her nose into tlio water nud gradu
ally slid out of sight beneath tho milled
surface. Tho spectators anxiously watched
tho spot whoiu sho disappeared for three
minutes when sho rcnppoircd nboutanimr
tor of a mile to lewuril and headed toward
them. The Silvan (ilea wns coming down
the river only a few hundred feet above
ami her captain was much surprised at tho
sudden nppenruncoof tho iron monster. He
tooled his whistlo vigorously and put his
wheel a port,, whereat tlio torpedo boat
kicked up its heels and again disappeared
Tho Pen ro Maker attained a depth yes
terdny of forty feet and attained a fair
rate of speed. The torpedo portion of tho
experiment was not tried. It isdesigned to
uso torpedoes attached together by a chain
and fastened to corked magnets, which will
attach themselves to tlio iron or steel of
the vessel to ho destroyed. They are to bu
fired by electricity after tho torpedo boat
bus reached a safe distance. Professor
Tuck is working on a device by which ho
claims tlio occupants of the bout will bo
enabled to leave It nt a depth of forty foot
and return ugniii in surety.

At si o clock tins morning there wcr

scvornl prexs representatives. The court
officials decided that the relatives of the
prisoners should be allowed in the court
room and at 0:15 o'clock the sister ol
Spies, with another young womnn, made
her appearance. She moved ns though she
would proceed to close proximity of thp
chairs heretolore occupied by tho prison
era. but she wns motioned to a seat on the
opposite sido of tho court room in the rear
of the line ot police officers, thus indicating
thnt the prisoners are not to be surrounded
by their admirers this forenoon, buortly
nftcrward tho mother of Spies, nccompn
nied by a youngson, also entered the court
room nnd took a seat on a back bench
The jury left their hotel nt 9:1G o'clock
nud, under tho guidance of ten bailiffs, took
their way to ths court lioiisenud wero con
ducted to nn inner room immediately ad
joining the main court room. At 0:20 Mrs
Parsons entered tlio court room, accompa
nied by a woman who lias attended her
throughout the trial. She was given a scat
between two pol'cemcn, witli two police
men ini mod latch in her rear. Whether this
precaution was to guard against any extra
ordinary exploit in tho court room or not
is of rourso not known, but tho sent
accorded tho feninle anarchist wns
deemed b.gni'cnnt. Mrs. Rlnck, the wife
of tlio chief counsel for the prisoners, whn
has been in court daily, proceeded to tal
iier former seat near the prisoners, but waf
requested to tako her seat on the opposite
side ol the court room. .Mrs. Klack re
marked to a newspaper reporter ns she
laid down her pnekago ol newspapers:
"Well, they say it has all gono against out

They seem to expect it." The sheriff lint

tho jury yesterday afternoon.
Tho prisoners wero brought into tho court
room at 0:52 o'clock and were seated at
tho northeast corner of the court room, on
some sido benches. Tlio court was called
to order at 9:54. Tho prisoners wero not
observable to tho eyes of but very few in
the court room. J hey presented about tin
usual appearance, though Spies and Fischci
looked pale. Tho jury nrrived at .):nf
o'clock, thorn wns an impressive silonco as
they tiled in. The tremendous interest
taken in tlio outcome of tho trial nnd the
finding of tlio jury is illustrated by the
crowd which had gathered m front of the
court house to nwnit the announcement.
Nearly 20,000 peopls wero gathered on
Michignn street in Iront of tho main en
trance to tlio building, gazing up lo the win
dows. The pobco kept the crowel moving,
however, and it appeared to ho composed
almost entirely or simply curious people.
Judge Gnry arrived at 9:47 and almost
at the snmo moment Cupt. Rlack and Zies
lor. When tlio jury nppoared Judgo Gary
enjoined absoluto silence. There was a
whispered consultation between tlio judge
and clerk, when tho verdict was read as
follows:

and form as charged in the indictment and
fix tlio penalty at imprisonment in tlio pen
itentiary at fifteen years.
Capt. Ulack asked thattho jury bo polled.
I'ho jurymen answered with firm voices.
Capt. Rlack said lie desired to make a mo
tion for a new trial, i no stale s attorney
said it would be impossible to dispose of
the motion durini: the present term, butby
agreement the motion could bo argued at
the September term. Tins wns ogreed to
by tho defense. The court lot the motion
lie entered and continued u til tlio next
Icrin nnd the defendants were taken back
to jail. The court then arose and ad-
lressed the jury ns follows: "Gentlemen of
the jury, you have finished this long nnd
very arduous trial, which has required a very
considerable sacrifice of timo nnd some
hnrdshin. I bono that everything lias been
due t int could possibly Do done to mui:e
hose sacrifices and hardships as muu as

ale to hiiv anything in regard to the caso
'hat you havo tried or tlio verdict you
havo rendered, but men compulsorily serv
nig as jurors, as you have done, deserve
somo recognition of the servico you have
performed bo-ddes the meagro compensa
tion von have received."
The foreman ol tho piry said: -i no
ury have deputed to me tlioonly agreeable
lnty that it is our province to periorm,
ind thnt is to thnnk the court and coun
sel for the defom-o and for tho prosocution

ortablo as poHsibleduriiigourconfluement.
We thank you."
The court rosponded briefly. 1 lie pris-
uiers had filed out during this interim tin
ier tho guidance ot the bailiffs. Hardly
had tlio jury left tho court room when a
piercing siirioie wns nenrd, loiiowen ny a
heavy falling of the wife of Schwab to the
lloor, to whom the result of the verdict hnd
been interpreted. Sho is also a sister ol
sehnaubelt, the alleged bomb-thrower. Sho
wns carried out to tho air by the police anil
soon revived. Mrs. Parsons looked hag
gard as she started to leave the court
room, but maintained a moderate degroo
composure. The crowd remained outside
for nn hour alter tho readiugof tlio verdict.
It is understood that the authorities now
contemplate tlio Immediate arrest ol all
persons even indirectly connected wan the
inyuiarliel trngody lor conspiracy anil
that it is acknowledged that many ot the
active leadeis, hearing ot the outcome of
the verdict, are preparing to leave the city.
At 2 ti clock this ulternoou a large force
was gathered at, the Chicago avenue polico
station, under command ot Capt. Schaack,
and a little later Chief Khersohl arrived. It
is a current rumor about town that the
police have a list containing the names ol
nearly three hundred men who were en
gaged in the anarchist conspiracy and that
wholesale arrests will hencelorth be in or

What l Stl Forth by the Department of Agri
culture.
Tlio agricultural department hni Issued
its crop report for August. RcgardincMin
nesola, the report says: "Iho corn crop
at this time promises a largo yield in tint
state, as also tho early amber cane. Ir
somo portions ot tho state the wheat pros
pects aro very promising. In others les
favorable in consequence of dry wenthci
and insects. Tho weather during the liny
ing season and thus far during tlio harvest
ing of tho grain has been very favorable tc
the farmer."
The reports ot Illinois nresiimmarized as
follows: "The growing crops that were nol
nearly or quite matured in tho early pari
of the season are seriously injured by the
prevailing dry weather of July. Karlv
planted corn is now filling well, nnd the
late planted is stunted in growth. In some
of tho fields tlio lower leaves on the stalki
aro fired and dried up, often extending
above the shoots. Under these Influence!
the average condition of the crop hai
declined since July 1. Tho ab
sence of rain lins made it favor
able for the harvesting of small grain
and hay. Spring wheat shows a slight re
duction owing to insects and dry weather,
but will not fall far short of tlio expect a
tions of a month ngo. The oat crop has
suffered from like causes, nnd lins ripened
prematurely. It is light and chnffy, and
has lost eight points as compnred witli the
condition of July 1. I he condition ol
timothy liny is tlio same as that of Inst
year at the same date, while clover liny
shows a decided improvement in quantity
nnd quality ns compared witli tiie corre
sponding date tor Joo3. I'astures aro so
dry in somo localities ns to be readily set
on lire by sparks rroin the pnssiug rallrond
engines, nnd several instances have been
reported where fires that have originated
in that way have communicated with
shocks on the stubble fields and stacks on
the meadows, destroying considerable
quantities of grain.
The summitry of crop conditions for Da
kota is very full and interesting. It is ns
follows: "The month of July has been a
trying one upon tlio crops, a severe drouth
beginning in June extending over nearly
portion of the territory, has held undis
puted swny until the Inst week of thn
month, when, with the local showers, light
nt first, but becoming heavier ami moro
frequent until August 1, it can be said that
the great drouth is broken, nlthoiigh there
nrc localities where they havo not been re
lieved by the rain. Thodroulii was accoin
pnnied by excessive heat, tlio temperaturo
registering 109 in the shade in many locali
ties, and as H the elements hnd conspired
to defeat the crop tlio much dreaded hot
winds prevailed forsever.il days with their
blighting influences. The Red river valley
did not suffer ns much witli the heat ns the
country did elsewhere. West from the cen
ter of Rnrues county to the Mississippi
river the drouth was very severo nnd tlio
damage correspondingly large. Where the
soil was light or inclined to be sandy crops
suffereL nost. There nro localities scat
tered pretty much over the territory that
wero favored with a shower at m oppor
tune time, in which the wheat will make u
good yield."
In Southern Dakota there is quite a scope
of country where there nro fair crops of
wheat. It is pi ovou thnt where there is a
fair quantity of moisture in tho soil when
the seed is sown it requires but little rain
to produce a large yield of wheat. Hot
winds caused much injury to wheat in Cen
tral Dakota. Heavy hail storms occurred
in Northern Dakota during the Inst of tlio
month. They destroyed the grntn in a
largo tract of country, estimated at 1,000,
000 bushels. Some of tho best fields of
river country wero devastated by hail.
Wheat is about nil cut in bout'i Dakota
nnd threshing commenced. It is too early
to judge of the yield from this source. Tlio
farmers who havo threshed generally reply
that it is yielding better than exnected.
