UNPRECEOENTED RESULTS OF A?
TEST AT INDIAN HEAD.
An 18-inch Harweylzod Carnegie Steel
Plate Proves Almost: Invulnernble to the
Biggest Guns in the Navy. Three Pro-
jectiles Are Broken to Places.
There was a battle royal at the Indian
Head proving ground between the big-
gest guns of t e navy and an 18-inch
Harveyized steel plate, made by the
V' . Carnegie works, with wholly unprece-
dented results. After firing twice at the
great piece of steel with a 12-inch rifle
Without making any practical impres-
sion on it, the great "peacemaker,” as
the 13-inch gun is called, discharged its
half-ton projectile point blank at the
armor, and though driven bodily back
into the sand bank supporting it, the
plate survived.
Great interest has been manifested in
the test, as it was practically a. competi-
tion of the hitherto suspected Carnegie
product and the uniformly successful
Bethlehem manufacture. The Bethlehem
Company furnished the 18-inch plate
that passed the ordeal, and the Carnegie
armor was tested with exactly the same
grade of shells, made in France for test-
ingpurposes, and all the conditions were
made uniform. The plate was finished
to size and cost about $20,000. It weighed
79,300 pounds, was 16 feet 9 1-2 inches
long, and 7 feet 5 13-16 inches wide, and
was of tapering thickness, being 18 inches
thick at the top and extending 4 feet
down, where the taper to 8 inches thick-
ness at the bottom began. It represented
the second lot of 306 tons or ten plates,
for the side armor of the battle ship
Oregon, nearly completed at San Fran-
cisco. The plate was attached to a
backing of 35 inches of solid oak by 26
three-inch bolts, the entire structure
being firmly anchored in a hillside about
100 yards from the muzzles of the gun
battery.
The gun was mopped out, and behind
projectile 443.4 pOimds of powder was
placed, giving a muzzle velocity of 1,926
feet per second and the enormous strik-
ing energy of 21,855 foot tons. The
plate had passed the cracking ordeal, and
this shot was intended solely to try its
resistance to being penetrated. The
penetration was ten inches, as well as
could be estimated. The head of the
projectile, as far as the explosive cham-
ber, was completely smashed on the
plate, looking as if a. lot of black mud
had been splashed upon the armor. The
two metals had been melted and welded
together by the terrific temperature due
to the sudden stoppage of the shot, the
frightful energy of nearly 22,000 foot
tons being suddenly converted into heat.
The metal of the plate for a depth of
three inches and for six inches around
the point where the projectile struck
had been fused and bubbled up like a.
volcanic crater. A crack three-fourths
of an inch wide was developed in the
surface of the plate, extending from the
top to the bottom. .
The plate was accepted by the Gov-
ernment, and then, with the view of de-
termining what its ultimate test might
be under the most extreme conditions, it
was decided by the chief of ordnance to
attack it with the greatest of naval
weapons, the big 13-inch gun such as in
the turrets of the battleships. A 13-inch
Carpenter shell, weighing 1,100 pounds,
driven by 489 pounds of powder specially
adapted to this gun, was discharged with
a velocity of 1,810 feet per second in this
test. It had the unprecedented striking
energy of 25,000 foot tons, and its impact
was only 32 inches to the left of the first
shot. The result was remarkable. It
was expected that this test would de-
molish the plate. A crack of 3 inches
wide extended some distance from the
top, and the shell, after penetrating 10
inches, was, as one of the officers de-
clared, “almost pulverized.” The solid
Oak backing, however, demonstrated the
terrific energy of the projectile, for it
was shut up like an ac; rdion and split
into kindling wood. 'ill.) effect of such
gun fire on a battleship in action, in the
opinion of the experts present, would be
incalculable. Upon careful examination
the ability of the plate to keep out the
heaviest projectile was fully proved, by
the fact that but one of the fastening
bolts was damaged, and the other
twenty-five would have held the plate in
position on shipboard.
This plate is said to indicate that the
fight between gun and armor, which has
recently been rather one sided in the
gun’s favor, is now about a tie, and that
with the reforging process the armor
may soon be invulnerable to any existing
weapon.
From a Realistic Novel
“Heloise," said the fierce old man;
“Heloise!” He gazed upon her as she
stood before him, palpitating with the
calm joy of a maiden who has success-
fully sat up all night with a. clerk in the
cotton goods department and has come
down to breakfast at 11 o’clock. “Heloise,
when that young man”— .
“Stop, papa!” and she strode forward.
“You may tear me limb from limb,
incarcerate me in prison, banish me
from home, but such love as mine and
Walter’s”—
“Shut up!” roared the parental parent.
“What I was about to say is this—when
that young man comes next Sunday
night and you go nosing around at 3
o’clock in the morning to find pie for him
do not leave the dining room door open
so that the cat can get in and break the
milk pitcher.”
With a low, said wail she passed out
of the door and sank $10.50 that after-
noon for a new Easter bonnet.

GPaOG ChUl’Ch the 30606 OI a Bill-
Iiant Wedding.
A Conspicuous Society Event.
Never in the history of Grace ‘church
has that edifice been filled with so much
beauty as on Tuesday afternoon at the
wedding of Miss Mabel Cholwell Miller,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry P.
Price, and James Fairman Fielder, of
Jersey City.
The church had been handsomely
decorated with palms and whit-s flowers
and with the beautiful toilets of the
ladies presented a scene long to be re-
membered.
Miss Jennie K. Nash presided at the
organ, and it is safe to say that no one
ever heard sweeter music than that ren-
dered by Miss Nash, both before "and
durinz the ceremony.
The bride was attended by her mother,
who gave her away, preceded by the
ushers and maid of honor with the
bridesmaids. She was met at the altar
by the groom and his brother, as best
an.
mfiev. S. H. Watkins read the beauti-
ful Episcopal service and Rev. C. M.
Selleck pronounced the benediction.
The bride wore an elaborate gown of
white satin trimmed with rare old
round point lace, the gift of her grand-
mother, Mrs George 11-. Cholwell. Her
bridal veil Wt. s secured by a magnificent
diamond new moon, the gilt of the
groom, and she carried in her hand a
shower boquet composed of lilies of
the valley and orchids.
Her mother, Mrs. Price, wore a gown
of heliotrope and white pompadour
satin with hat to match and carried a
boquet of heliotrope orchids. Miss
Alice Lorraine Cholwell, her aunt, was
the maid of honor. She was dressed in
a gown of white mousseline do soi
with mignonette and green satin trim-
mings and large white picture hat with
white ostrich plume and mignonettes.
She also carried a shower boquet.
The four bridesmaids, Miss Anna
Burr Woodward, Miss Louise Brinker-
hofl' Woodward, Miss Kate May Parker
of Bridgeport, and Miss Katherine
White, of Cannons, wore gowns of
white mousseline de soi with mignOL-
site and green satin trimmings and
trich plumes and mignonette, and car-
ried shower boquets.
The best man was George B. Fielder
a brother of the groom, and the ushers
were George Percy, Robert Rodger,
Dr. Flint Morris, Henry Fitch, Dr.
Henry Brinckerhofl', Jr,, all of Jersey
City, and Hanford Weed, of New Cu-
Dunn.
After the marriage there was a recep-
tion at the house of the bride’s grand-
mother, Mrs. George R. Cholwell, on
High street. The porch of the palatial
residence was profusely decorated with
white flowers and plants, while the spa-
cious grounds resembled a fairy garden.
Inside the house the bulustrade and
newel post of the stairway was covered
with white locust blossoms and roses.
From the ceiling to the doorway in the
hall were suspended Marguerite chains
forming an arch.
The bride received in the music room,
standing in the bow window, the back-
ground of which was filled with palms
and the sides with ferns and Marguer-
ites. The mantels and chandeliers were
also decorated. From the ceiling were
hung Marguerite chains forming a per-
fect fairy bower about the bride.
The parlor, library and dining rooms
were also beautifully decorated with
ferns and white flowers.
An elaborate wedding breakfast was
served by Mazzetti, of New York, from
4 to 5.30 and the same design of a green
and white wedding was carried out in
the service. ,
After the wedding breakfast Mr. and
Mrs. Fielder attempted to steal a march
on the guests. Mr. Fielder had made
arrangements for the Boston express to
stop‘at East Norwalk at 5.39 without
the knowledge of the guests, and expect-
ed to get away without being noticed,
but the maid of honor, bridesmaids and
ushers succeeded in reaching the depot
in time to wish them God-speed.
The wedding presents were numerous
and costly. Among them being dia-
monds, gold and silverware and cut
glass.
One of the features of the wedding
was the bride’s carriage, which was
lined with white and drawn by two
handsome sorrels with white collars.
The equippage was furnished by Mr.
Horace E. Dann. .
After a honeymoon extending along
the coast of Maine, Mr. and Mrs.
Fielder will take up their residence at
Jersey City Heights. '
Gregory-Stanley.
The residence of Stephen K. Stanley
was the scene, Wednesday evening,
of wedding festivities that were a joy to
all concerned. The rooms in the house
had been beautifully embellishéd with
fragrant and attractive specimens of
the flowery kingdom and the room
in which the'ceremony took place, was
an elysium of beauty, added to which
was the presence of the pretty bride.
The contracting parties were Josiah
G. Gregory and Miss Lucia K. Stanley

The bride, a daughter of Mr. ‘an‘ai
Mrs. Stephen K. Stanley, was becom—
ingly attired .in a gown of white silk
trimed with point lace and satin ribbon
and looked beautiful, and as she stood
under a floral arch with the young man
to whom she "was to be wedded, one
could not but say that a handsomer
couple ’twould be hard to find.
The bride was given away by her .
father in a courtly mlnner, and the
ceremonies while unostentatious were
impressive and beautiful.
Miss Bessie Stanley a sister of the
bride wns’a charming bridesmaid and
wore a gown of white silk prettily trim- *
med with white satin.
The wedding supper was a symphony
of p'alate pleasing delectables and was
greatly enjoyed.
The ushe’rs were Edward and Her-
bert Stearns of Brooklyn, Harold Glen—

Mr. and Mrs. Gregory left on an
evening train for New York city from
which place they intended leaving to-
