Be*' MUTE GUN TESTS A SUCCESS. Hiram Percy Maxim's Gun Silencer is ' Again Satisfactory to Officers. * / Hartford, Conn., Sept. 9.?Hiram Percy Maxim returned to-day from (] Springfield where yesterday final ! tests were made of his gun silencing jjjy device. He expressed himself more ] \ than gratified at the results of the 1 fiL"' experiments, which showed that a fir- J ing party in ambush coul? not be detected at 250 yards. ' The., tests have been conducted be- * fore a board appointed by the comHanding officer of the Springfield ar- ( mory. Those of yesterday were made ^ to show what degree of concealment y. could be obtained by a party using ' ^ . the Maxim devices. The army officers stationed themselves near the butts ; at the water shop range and the rifle>... man was taken to different points of U ,. the compass, from each of which he fired five shots, at distances from 250 1 to 700 yards. The bullets were fired r;. into a sandbank near the listening ' party and they found it impossible to < r::, tell from which direction the shots Ip. were fired. When the man fired from v the north they were not agreed, but 1 most of them thouerht the shot came i from the south. In no case were they ! all agreed, and in no case were they 1 lip right. ;;r| At three short ranges the ping of : the bullet disguised the snap of the 1 gun. The fact was not disclosed be# fore, as in the previous tests the gun 1 Pwas discharged into a bank not 10 yards from the rifleman. Under those circumstances the snap of the gun could be heard at 1,500 yards.In an engagement the soldier is sup posed to shoot at the enemy, and the tests yesterday showed not only that . a firing party could not be detected ; *, at a distance of a golf drive, but that ; the sing of the bullet through the 1 air made the snap of the gun's discharge inaudible. Mr. Maxim in an interview said: ! "The principle I make use of is J applicable to heavy ordinance and I . am arranging to equip a modern three-inch field gun with a silencer. I believe I am right when I say that ( making the location of a position of ' ,V l such a gun impossible will altogether ( change conditions in warfare." Woman Shot by Accident. Kl ' r Anderson, Sept. 11.?At the coro- i ner's inquest over the body of Mayme \ mi j Ix J 1_ J J. 1 x .Eiiruu u uevtiuyeu una.t me wuuidu came to her death by the accidental discharge of a pistol in the hands of 17-year-old Calhoun Donald. While . the jury did not return such a verdict, all of the evidence tends to show accidental shooting, but the jurors thought it best to- detain Donald for trial at the circuit court. The Elrod " woman was about 40 years of age, and has been living with the Donald family for some years. The shooting occurred in a corn field of Mr. Donald's three miles across the Oconee county line. The woman was brought to the hospital here, and died the night of the shooting. Donald claims that he was playing with a pistol while at work in the field with the Elrod woman, and that he did not, know it was loaded. He snapped the hammer and the gun was discharged, tt^ bullet taking effect in the woman's abdomen. Despite the fact that the shooting occurred in Oconee county, the trial will be held in Anderson county, the death having occurred here, and the coroner's inquest haying been held in Anderson county. > .X v - . ? - Sharp Dealing. For once the American had discovered something British that was better than anything that could be produced "across the pond." His discovery was a fine collie dog. and he at once tried to induce its owner, an old shepherd, to sell it. "Wad ye be takin' him to America?" inquired the old Scot. "Yes, I guess so," said the Yankee. "I thought as muckle," said the shepherd. "I couldna part wi' Jock." But while they sat and chatted an English tourist came up. and to him the shepherd sold the collie for much less than the American had offered. "You told me you wouldn't sell him,"said the Yankee, when the purchaser had departed. "Na," replied the Scot; "I said I couldna' pairt wi' him. Jock'll be back in a day or so, but he couldn't swim the Atlantic."?Detroit Free Press. bank staie3ufi?t. Statement of the condition of the Bamberg Banking Co., located at Bamberg, S.
