THE FIELD OF HONOR.
A Duel to Be Fought on the Hill To-Day.
It was whispered about in certain
select circles last evening, that at an
early hour this morning blood would
be spilled on the other side of the
main street hill. In other'words that
a duel was to bo fought between a
gentleman from Portland and a well
known resident of this city. All ef
forts to learn the names of the par
ties were futile, those in the secret re
fusing to discloso them or say why
the parties wanted to resort to tlie
field of honor to settle their differences.
Tho authorities have been apprised
that there is a likelihood of the affair
taking place, and promise to arrest
the principals and seconds.

Itppiunln of Rich Xeir Yorkers.
A Philadelphia PreM correspondent
repeats the familiar story that many
prominent New Yorkers began life in
a very small way. Tho house of .Lord
Ac Taylor began iu a diminutive store
down-town; Edward Rilev began busi
ness with less than S1,000; S. V.
White was a farmer and teacher; Jim
Keene was a laborer in mines; Bnssell
Sage was a grocery clerk in Troy;
Commodore Bateman was a treasury
clerk in Washington, on a salary of
$1,000; Jay Gould, as everybody
knows, wjis a book canvasser; William
R. Graco was a runaway lad; John
Jay Knox was a farmer's "boy ; Thomas
L. James was a typesetter; John
Thompson, ex-president of tho Chase
bank, one of tho founders of the Na
tional banking system, was an office
boy at S3 a week salary; Mr. St John,
the banker, was a poor boy from the
South; Commodore Van Santvoord,
the head of tho Hudson river line of
steamboats, was a freight clerk at $50
a month; and so on.
At Mr. Rockefeller's splendid estate,
on the Hudson river, a system of elec
tric lighting, costing over $150,000, has
been installed. He can now, by mov
ing a small button in his library, illu
minate acres of his beautiful grounds
at midnight if he pleases. The wires
are all carried under the ground and
out of sight, and the lights are ar
ranged in a wonderfully nrtistic fashion
in the trees and foliage. Such a for
tune as that expended in electricitv
and in lighting a country place is un
precedented in history. Even the new
roof on Blenheim place, about which
everybody in England has been talk

BOARD OH ARMY GUM FACTORIES
DistiiipisW Any Officers Wlo
Will Be Here Soon.
iyFOJtiLATIOK THAI IS WASTEl
The board of officers appointed by
President Harrison to select loca
tions for the erection of foundries and-
machine shops for making heavy guns
are over on tho Sound, and will be
here in a few days. The members are
as follews: Colonel William P.
Craighill, corp3 of engineers; Colonel
Henry W. Closson, 4th Artillery;
Colonel Adelbert R. Buffington, ordi
nance department Major Clarence
E. Dutton, ordinance department, is
the recorder.
Tho order of tho war department,
or rather the act of congress which
prescribes tho duties of the board,
says: "Shall inquire into the facili
ties for producing steel forgings for
high-power guns at or near the Pa
cific coast and in tho vicinity of the
Indianapolis arsenal, and at some
point on or near the Gulf coast, and
the advisability of erecting gun fac
tories for finishing and assembling
high-power guns." "Said board shall
also examine and report as to the
capacity, cost of erection, and equip
ment of each of such gnn factories."
From this order it is apparent that
the board is required to investigate
the possibilities of two distinct kinds
of establishments in the respective lo
calities named, viz: 1st, an establish
ment for making the masses of forged
steel, roughly shaped to the required
dimensions; 2d, a factory for boring,
turning, finishing, and assembling
tho several parts into the
completed gun. It seems to have
been the policy of congress to treat
these two processes as distinct. It
has hitherto left the production of the
forgings entirely to private enterprise
and capital; the government having
no financial interest iu the works; tak
ing no risks, giviug no subvention of
any kind, nor any guarantees beyond
the terms of ordinary contracts to pur
chase at fixed prices a specified num
ber of forgings. On the other hand
the working up of forgings into the
finished guns has hiuierto been done
chiefly by the government in its own
workshops at the arsenals and navy
yards, though inducements may bo
offered to private parlies to do Biich
work.
That tho readers of The AsToniAN
may form some idea of tho extent of
tho works that must be erected, wo
quote from the official circular, as fol
lews:
steeii Fouxrmr ant forge.
The forgings for heavy guns are all
very large, those for the tubes and
jackets being much the largest pro
duced in the arts. In the 12-inch
rifle the rough tube weighs about
fourteen and a half tons, and tho
jacket thirteen tons. Tho metal is
a "low steel" of tho highest degree of
purity. For melting and preparing
the steel two open-hearth furnaces of
about thirty tons' capacity each are
required besides smaller furnaces.
For casting the ingots molds are re
quired in which the steel i3 subjected
to a hydraulic pressure reaching about
six tons to the square inch whilo set
ting and cooling, tho occluded gases
being pressed out and allowed to es
cape. These molds and their hy
draulic attachments, casting-pits and
traversing machinery are of vast pro
portions and elaborate workmanship
and in their most important details
are trade secrets. The machinery for
forging is of colossal size.
Tho cost of an establishment
equipped with such machinery may
be estimated at S2,500,000 to $3,500,
000, according to varying circum
stances and conditions. It is gov
erned not only by the cost of labor.
material, equipment, etc., but also by
tho amount of accessory planfwhich
it would be necessary to create, such
as blast furnaces, machine shops, ship
ping and receiving facilities. The out
put of such an establishment may be
estimated at from thirty to forty, or,
say, thirty-five sets of forgings for 12
inch guns per annum, and a corre
spondingly larger number of smaller
calibers, though this might ,be in
creased by tho addition of a number
of tho great lathes required for boring
the tubes and jackets.
GUK FACTORIES.
The machinery of the forgings and
the assembling them into the finished
gun is a process involving as much
mechanical skill and as many difficul
ties as the foundry work, though of
different kinds. It requires a precis
ion, delicacy and accuracy of work far
beyond the ordinary requirements of
the machine shop. It may be need
less here to explain this necessity, and
it will suffice to say that tho workman
ship of the high-power steel gun de
mands about as much precision as that
of a great telescope, and that without
it the gun is to be regarded as unsafe.
For work of this character machine
tools of an exceptional class are re
quired, as well as workmen of the
highest skill. From $600,000 to $800,
000 worth of machine tools are required
to equip a shop with a capacity of fif
teen or twenty 12-inch guns per year,
and tho building to contain them, to
gether with its steam power, traveling
cranes and other fixtures would require
from $300,000 to $350,000 more. Ao
cessory plant, buildings and tools
would alio bo needed, the extent of
which cannot be estimated here.
Connected with tho gun factory, it
is probable that shops will be required
for making gun carriages. Although
less ponderous than the euns. they
are still very massive structures for
withstanding tho great shock of firing
and controlling the powerful rocoiL
It will require a very considerable ma
chine shop for tho carriages alone,
and tins snop will liavo to be equipped
with many machine tools, some of
them of very large proportions. The
mount? for the high power guns, how
ever, have not as yet been fully de
termined upon, and until their char.
acteris fixed estimates of tho riant
required to make them would bo pre
mature.
An indispensable accessory of the
gun factory is a proving ground.
where the guns may be tested with
service charges and prcgectHes. A
clear range is needed of several miles
over level ground, not valuable for
other purposes, and where life or
property wfll not be endangered. A
marsh or smooth surface of shallow
water may be made to answer the pur
pose, but dry, solid ground is much to
be preferred. It is to be anticipated,
however, that tho occurrence of such
a range near the "f aotory is not prob-s
able, and that it will bo necessary to
seek it at a distance which ought not
to exceed fifty railes. It must be ac
cessible by railroad, and the bridges
and permanent way must be amply
strong to carry the heivy guns 'and
trucks.
BEQTmiEMKXTS OF BOTH FOUNDRY AND
FACTORY.
It is apparent that both the foundry
and the factory should be situated at
points out of reachof ffung from hos
tile ships of war, IfpVere they are
not liable to be destroyed by a sudden
incursion of an unexpected enemy.
Facilities for shipment both by land
and water are desirable, and excellent
railway facilities are imperative.
Since tho weight of a 12-inch gun is
about 52 gross tons, and the car upon
which it must be transported to tide
water, is of exceptional strength and
weight, the permanent way, bridges
and trestles of the railway lines over
which it must pass must bo free from
all doubts as to their stability.
Since a large amount of steam
power is required for both establish
ments a plentiful supply of good fuel
for Bteam boilers at low prices is need
ful. This supply should not
be liable to interruption by an enemy
in time of war. Fuel for smelting or
direct production of iron must always
be of the best quality. Fuel for gas
furnaces, on the other hand, may be
of inferior quality if there is a com
pensation in respect to cheapness.
A supply of good fresh wateris needed
for both establishments.
Such establishments are very de
pendent upon the industries which
surround them. They require
ample and varied supplies obtainable
only in populous regions having well
developed and varied industries; also
articles which may have to be made
iu great haste by special machinery or
special industries. Works costing
millions must not be kept idle or
half going for days or weeks because
it is necessary to send many hundreds
or even thousands of miles to repair
some trifling mishap or because some
essential item of supply of a narrow
market has become exhausted. They
should also be situated where an
abundant supply of labor, both
skilled and unskilled, can be secured;
where a sudden increase of force can
be obtained, and where in ease of a
reduction of force the discharged em
ployes can find other remunerative
employment
The above are some of tho general
topics and wants, enumerated in the
official circular, and in addition there
to tho board will also desire informa
tion as to a supply of iron ore, coal,
wood, manganese, fire brick or ma
terial for making it, facilities of local
shops to furnish castings or make re
pairs if needed, wages of mechanics
and laborers, and various other points
pertaining to tho subject. Definite
notice of their coming will be given in
due-time, that our citizens may have
an opportunity of meeting with tho
board and giving such information as
they may desire.
Tho gnn factory will surely be es
tablished on the Pacific coast if a suit
able location can be found, but it is
possible that tho foundry work may
still continuo to be dono by private
enterprise, and contracted for by the
government
A DOCTOR'S REBUKE.
Immensely iloro Mischief than ! Gen
erally Saspectod.
Dr. XIn; tho eminent modlcal writer, la
& learned disquisition on our national com
plaint, constipation, says:
Tho groat quantity of cathartic pills, etc,
which are token by the people of this coun
try oro productive of immensely more- mis
chief than is generally suspected. True, the
physic unloads tho bowels, but its action
tcuds to diminish tho tone of the intestines;
so that, Instead of removing costlrencss, it
ax?rarates It, ksarlng tho bowels in a more
torpid condition.
Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparllla was designed
to fill just such a contingency as the doctor"!
arraignment anticipates, viz.: instead of be
ing a powerful mineral purgatire, it la a
mild Tcgctablo laxative, that, owing to iti
solvent and gentle stimulating properties, is
so certain a relief in constipation that it has
been given away to hundreds, not to be paid
for unless it was of positive benefit It re
places constipation almost Immediately
with a natural cay habit, and Is so mild
