A steam-Hammer at Sea.
ST. Louis Globe.pomocrat.

st LOUIS GiODe-DcmQcrat.
A steam-hammer is a tool generally re-
garded as requiring a specially solid foun-
dalton, so the announcement that one is in
use on board shin is calculated TO arouse
con siderable interest. The ship Defense of
the British navy. which is q kind Of floating
machine-sh0p. has recently been fitted with
such a tool. Special construction WIS, of
course, necessary to meet the requirements
of its surroundings. The hammer is Of the
overlapping form, with two standards, in
which are the planned guides, and between
these the trip is placed, which weighs S36
pounds and has maximum stroke of IT
inches. The hammer is fitted with both
self-acting and hand-valve gear, and has
been designed 10 work very quickly or
slowly, as desired. The anvil block and
base are made in in one massive casting of
great weight, so rs to cause as little vibra-
ton as possible in the surrounding parts of
the shin, and 6-iEch nrmor- plate is fixed
underneath in n vertical position as foun-
dation for The anvil-block. This is said to
be the first tool OF the kind ever constructed
on hoard shin.

often they will appear in the somber

SAVED BY GOODNESS
A Mob Enters a Courtroom to Kill the
Judge.
rHE TROUBLE OVER WHITE CAPS
Only the Latter's Nerve and Decision
Save His Life---Further Trouble
Evaded by the Militia.

JACKSON, Miss, May 5.-The court of
Brookhaven yesterday morning was to
be occupied with the cases of ten white
caps in Jail there for shooting a negro
and burning his cabin several months
ago. The court had just opened when a
mob of 100 men rode into town and sur
rounded the court house and Jail, threat
ening the life of Judge Chrisman and all
officers who dared to oppose them.
They would let no one leave the place,
and it was some time before the citizens
of the town knew of the disturbance.
The citizens finally went to the rescue,
and the judge, knowing what was COM
ing, used a pistol and led the charge
against the mob. They retreated to the
suburbs, and the town was in an uproar.
The band of outlaws awaited the attack
in ambush. Sheriff McNair telegraphed
Governor Stone for guns, and with Ad-
jutant-General Henry he went to the
scene in person, carrying with him 40
Winchesters and 2,0U0 cartridges. Since
his arrival nothing has been heard.
Frank Peyton, court stenographer, came

says that when the band took possession
of the court house an important case was
being tried. Lawyers, witnesses and
auditors were horror-stricken. Judge
Chrisman was the only man who kept
his senses, and it was only through his
coolness that the attacking party was
repulsed, without the loss of a single
person. But for the timely arrival of
the militia companies from Wesson and
the city of Brookhaven, Mr.. Peyton
thinks Judge Chrisman and several
others would have been murdered.
