<JUEER ACCIDENTS TO GUNS.
Mishaps on a British Battleship Thai
Canned Fear Among
the Crew.
While the British battleship Thun
derer was off Milford Haven, Wales,
not long ago a curious accident to
one of her guns caused much, alarm
among her crew A target had been
put out for practice with the ten-inch
breechloading guns. When one was
fired by electricity only a portion of
the projectile was discharged, the
base plate of the shot and a portion
of the frame being left in the gun..
i When the plate was icmoved the pres
sure of gas forced a portion of the
j projectile from the breech of the gun.
! On the second gun being fired a hole
i about three inches in diameter was
| blown through the projectile, the
! other part of the base plate being left
j behind. The base plate was in this
V.UOV C3V J'll 1 u tvu »•* ut ‘ w -
projectile.
Such accidents are believed never
previously to have occurred on board
any ship. There was much alarm
among those in the turret, as the
bursting of tbe guns was for a time
feared. It is suggested that either
the powder in the projectiles was
damp or there was water in the guns,
So far as can be seen both guns ar«
sound.
FINDS BOOK OF MORMON.
Illinois Farmer Makes the Claim Tha<
He Dus I p the Original
Manuscript.
Interest has been created at Carbon
dale, 111., over a discovery made by
Marshal Fenrod, who lives on a farm
| near Dongola. Recently Penrod
grubbed a black oak stump out of a po
' tatc field close to his residence and
i found a stone about a foot long and
i eight inches ill diameter. The p* culiai
! shape of the stone, which resembled a
pocketbook. attracted his attention
i and, upon close examination, he found
i carved on Its face in the English lan
guage the following words: “This
| stone contains the original manuscript
I of Moroni (Mormon).—Joseph Smith."
The ravages of time had apparently
| made but little headway on the stone
I and upon closer examination he found
! the stone was hollow and a hole drilled
{ entirely through it and at both ends
red cedar plugs had been driven in
Upon removing one of the plugs several
sheets of parchment were found cob»
taining writing in hieroglyphic* that
sou Id not be deciphered.
