NAPLES, TENN, May 27.-The little city
of Columbia was in state Of intense ez-
citement yesterday afternoon, over the
capture Of the negro, Green Wells, who on
Saturday last shot and killed Mr.. James
Fly, an energetic and prosperous farmer
in that county. The sheriff received dis
patch from Iron City that the negro was
IN custody there and to send officers for
him. At the same time it became gen
orally known in Columbia and large
crowd gathered at the depot to give the
officers and the prisoner q reception.
Thinking there might be trouble, Judge
Patterson interviewed the sheriff at Law
renee by telegraph, advising him to stop
them, as it would be unsafe with the pres
ent feeling and excitement to come on to
Columbia. The sheriff took the Judges
advice and stopped at Lawrence, which is
about six miles from the murdered mans
home. About midnight last night, dis
patch from Columbia states, Wells was
taken from the officers and hanged to a
tree. The mob then fired several shots
into his body.

CuriOsities in Paper.

From the Paper Record.
The first watermark on record was the coat
of-arms Of a town. The early paper makers
were not slow to adopt this idea in impressing
upon their sheets the device Of the place whero
their mill was situated. For instance. the coat
of-arws Of the village Of Rives, dolphin, is q
common mark on old papers. This mark 10
still in use today. The first use Of the water
mark then was as signature or emblem to
point out the place of manufacture and to rec
ommend the material. For all that certain
OF these emblems were used by different
makers. and oven in different countries, with
slight variations, "brisures," as they are
called in heraldry which were evil
IDENTIFY not accidental. but intentional.
The letter 'P, /" used by numberless makers, 10
good watermark to take "a an example, since
we find that not only is there an endless variety
OF forms OF the letter in the product of differ
ent mills, but that the same maker modified the
"brisures" OF the letter on different qualities
of his paper. Another use Of the watermark is
more evident still The names Of the principal
sizes OF 'papier verge" have been handed down
to US, and the whole of these have suggested
watermarks. Rising from the smallest sheet to
the largest they are as follow: Bell
pot ecu q three-franc piece), crown,
shell. grape, largo grape, jesus, great
eagle and great world. The size 'jesus"
was indicated by the letter il 1.-THE rest by their
emblems. In the fourteenth and fifteenth CEN
turtles the members of each trade guild were
compelled to mark their merchandise with the
seal OF their guild.

MAKING DANGEROUS TESTS,
An English Lieutenant and Four seamer
Risk Their Lives in an Experiment.

An English Lieutenant and Four seamen
Risk Their Lives in an Experiment.
Experiments were made in a creek in Ports
mouth harbor, England, the other day with
protected boom invented by the naval commit
tee. The boom consisted OF six wooden baulks,
one foot square and forty feet long, arranged
with the ends toward the enemy. The spaces
between the beams were too narrow to permit
q torpedo vessel to pass through. The obstacle
was solidifed by ten steel hawsers intertwined
among the beams and faulty attached to barges
on either side. To prevent tho impact of o
torpedo boat from dipping the boom and en-
abling it to glide over. another six-inch hawser
was suspended six feot above the boom. The
beams were armed with steel points and pow
erful spikes shaped like bulls horns One of
the swiftest torpedo boats in the British navy,
the one lately commanded by Prince George,
was selected to attempt to pass the boom. The
torpedo boat was encased in a superstructure
rising in the center and sloping toward the ex-
tremltlcs IN order TO carry the elevated hawser
over the hull and prevent the smashing of tho
funnel and torpedo gear. The funnel was con-
structed SO as to fall back if struck.
host Of admiralty officials and naval officers
were present to witness the experiments. The
torpedo boat selected, carrying . lieutenant
and four seamen, whose lives were insured by
the admiralty, dashed forward at the speed of
fourteen knots an hour, striking the boom in
the center. The boat mounted the first fence,
smashing the boom amidships, but the anchor
gear became entangled with the overhead haw-
ser and stopped the boat. Even then the boat
could have discharged torpedoes, but she was
fatally crippled and remained fixed tc the beam.
The bow compartments filled with water, the
boat having impinged upon the iron horns and
the bottom Of the starboard side was ripped
open. The engines being reversed freed the
boat. and it Immediately rolled over on its
| starboard side. The,crew then abandoned her,
and she soon sank.
