Moss POINT, Miss, Sept, 10, 1873.
Editor Deinocrat-Sta TAI
About a month since an acciden
occurred at one of the saw mill
OF Messrs. Bercier & DeSmet a
Moss Point. The piston rod of til,
large engine became disconnected
from its pitman, and in cOnse
quence the piston and cylinder
head were broken into fragments, /
portion of the cylinder with about
II quarter section OF its fiangt
wrenchcd oft, and other damage &c
machinery sustained. No method
of repair could be suggested at the
time but to procure new castings
entire. With this view the job WAS
placed in charge of Messrs. Hand
& Blumer, and the pattern maker
commenced work upon his tedious
task at the foundry.
AT this juncture Mr.. L. NJ. Hand
suggested that if it was possible
for the old cylinder to be repaired,
Mr.. w. III. Smith was the man for
the emergency. Mr.. Smith has for
sometime been employed by Der.
cier & DeSmet in their mills, but
was formerly a skilltul iron molder.
He was sent for aud promptly un.
dertook the task. The huge cylin-
der was buried in the ground at
the foundry, the necessary molding
to supply the fracture was made,
and something like a ton of iron
was melted and poured in a contin-
nous stream through the matrix
formed. This was continued until
the intense heat of the molten
metal caused the old iron of the
cylinder to become partially fused,
and thus a complete union of the
old and the new metal left no sign
Of the fracture when the casting
was turned out. The finished en-.
CINE was at once returned to its
place, and after driving the pom.
derous machinery of the mill for
mofe than a week past is considered
as safe and sound as any new cast
ing could make it.
We have known instances of the
union of old and new castings eff
upon IA small scale, but no
similar job of such magnitude and
difficulty has ever been success
fully completed so far as we can
Mr.. Smith, the skillful and enter
artizan, has thus saved to
his employers an expense of not
less than two hundred and fifty
dollars and the loss of at least
months time in the business
Of the mill. He fully deserves the
congratulations he is receiving.
AS an item of news we would
state that on Wednesday night of
asst week, while, HIS it seemed, the
Waterman at the mills as well as
everybody else were asleep, the
