SHooTING AFTArR-No SERIOUS Re-
srLTs.-About shutdown last evening
difficulty occurred on Main street in
front OF wiederhold's news depot, be-
tween John P. Kelly, an attorney-at-
law, and J. J. Sagle, mining Superin-
tendent, which would probably have
been serious affair but for the timely
interference of Sheriff Travis, Deputy
Sheriff James and bystander, who
interfered just in time to prevent blood
shed. 1t seems that Kelly and Naele
had previously had some high words,
growing out of Judge Fuller's decision
granting new trial in the Raymond d
Ely-Hermes case, but separated and met
again at the time and place before men,
toned. High words ensued, and Just
before the shooting something was said
at which there were simultaneous hostile
demonstrations by both parties, and
Kelly was seen to draw pistol. Sheriff
Travis caught his arm. and the contents
OF the pistol were discharged into the
air. Deputy James and bystander took
hold of Nagle, and so the parties were
separated. Mr.. Kelly was taken into
custody, and at once gave bonds for his
appearance before Justice Stoutenburgh
on Monday morning.

another-the value of the two bars being
something over $4,000. The scarcity OF
quicksilver in the market Just at present,
prevents the mill from doing itself full

A Mammoth Ship.

That the Devastation, the new English
ship OF war. is a success, so far as she has
beed tried, is now admitted. The ponderous
monster which squats upon the astonishel
waters with a dead weight of 10000 tons,
takes any ordinary wave with stolid indiilcr-
ence, whether she receives them end-on, or
upon bow, beam, or quarter. The prOdigious
hill OF foam which her stem piles up when
under way, washes, as was expected, clean
over her forward deck, and she is often sub
merged aft; but her massive mid-section
rides quietly enough, and those on board her
when achored in the rolling tide way at Spit
head, say that she was " steadcr than the
houses ashore" She turns with great rcadi-
ness andin small circle, and her speed, as
proved in six trials along the measured mile,
is not only equal to the promise of her de-
signers, but it exceeds expectation. The
mighty engines driving this island Of iron
with an indicated power of q, 800 horses, with
seventy-seven revolutions per minute, got
fifteen knots and 4 half out of the ship, and
her mean rate at full steam is thirteen knots
and three-Guartcrs. Here, therefore, is a
craft which is vulnerable only to a few guns.
has the swlitness of mail packet, and the
handincss-thanks to her twin scrcws-of a
tug, while she could utilize these qualities to
hurl upon the sides Of an opponent the awful
force of all her ten thousand tons moving
with the velocity of spear. On board this
remarkable man-of-war there are no less than
thirty-iour distinct and separate engines.
and, indeed, the value which she represents
is as serious as her fighting capacity. What
remains to be learned is the behavior of the
ugly giant in a real Biscay gale and whe,h-
er or no the cui-de-sdc which she carries aft
will or will not prove a mistake in heavy
following sea. With stability assured at Sc.
with no top gear to set her over, and with
decks which can be Theoretically sealed. she
would be safe enough; but whenever she
does roll, or pitch, or scud, the riyets and tit-
tlngs in her huge body will be shrewtllv tried
Except the Russian monitor, Peter the Great
nothing could resist or even challenge such
vessel at once so strong and swift. Tlr
torpedo, no doubt, may yet be so developed
as 10 make the Devastation, and all her ter
rible sisters, impotent against n defended
coast. On the high seas at present She has
no superior.
