Great credit is due to Wesson for re-
spending to the call for assistance.
About thirty armed men, in command of
Capt. j. G. Lyell, reached hero on the
incoming train, and marched to the

that they stood ready to respond to his

under command of George c. lIoskins,
was sent out to point two miles south
east Of Brookhaven, where the mob was
reconnoitering, with orders to arrest all
persons known to have been in the mob,
which in the meantime had dispersed
with speed. Tho citizens are now in

warm reception should they return to-

ment prevails and the end is not yet.
BRooKHAvEN, May 7.-Sheriff McNair
received information this morning that
Whitecaps of this and adjoining coun-
ties were organizing in large numbers
south of here, near Johnston's Station,
with the intention of making an attack
tonight or tomorrow; and after con-
ferring with the leading citizens he de-
cided to telegraph Gov. Stone for two
companies OF the State militia to
strengthen the Home Guard. The Crys-
tai Springs and Hazlehurst companies
arrived this evening, in command of
Adjutant General Will Henry, and are
now on duty near the courthouse, and
have all the important roads picketed.

TELLING TREES BY STEAM.
The Invention of an Eaglishman, Whicl
Is Finding Favor Abroad.

The Invention of an Englishman, Which
Is Finding Favor Abroad.
England comes TO the front with a
new invention of value. A Chelsea
manufacturer has brought out an inn
proved form of steam tree telling and
eroSs-cutting machine. The Duluth
News says that since the original
patent was taken out for these ma
chimes a number have been sent to all
parts of the world. They are mounted
upon a strong axle, supported on pair
Of wheels of such a diameter as to en-
able the saw TO cut through the tree at
height of about three feet from the
ground. This skeleton carriage is fitted
with pair of shafts, which renders it
easily transporCable through the for
est After the tree is felled the entire
machine can be partially rotated upon
It's axis so that by simply turning
hand wheel the saw can be set to cut in
avertical direction, or at any angle be-
tween the horizontal and vertical po-
sition. 1t generally happens, when a
large tree falls, that il does not lie fiat,
as its branches hold the upper part of
the trunk off the ground, and so, in
order to cross-cut trees lying in such
positions, it is necessary TO incline the
saw somewhat from a direct vertical
line, which is readily done by the adj
lustment Again, in order TO cross-cut
through high-lying trunk, it is neces-
saIy to elevate the saw, or, on the other
hand, in the case of a low-lying log, to
depress it. To effect this slotted stays
are attached TO each shaft, being
pVoted to short stakes driven in the
ground. A strong bolt passing through
The shaft takes into the slot at each
stay, TO which it can be instantly set
last by means of a nut furnished with
handle, and thus, by raising or de-
pressing the shafts, the saw can be set
at the required elevation TO suit logs
lying in any position. The machine, as
originally constructed, would fell an
oak tree ten feet in girth in three or
Tour minutes and cross-cut it afterward
IN about two minutes, but it is expected
mat in its improved form even quicker
work is possible.

IN MEMORY OF A CHILD.

Its Parents Commemorate Its Death by
an Annual Punch and Judy show.
The parents of child that died some
few years back in the Great Ormond
Street Hospital for Children have hit
upon a quaint and in many respects adj
mirable method of perpetuating his
memory. On each anniversary of the
ehild's death a performance of Punch
and Judy takes place in every ward in
the hospital.
This great festival - for, remarks
London Truth, need not say that it is
great festival to everybody concerned
has been duly celebrated again. The
only blot upon it was that one poor lit
lie fellow had 10 be taken away Just
before the performance commenced to
undergo an operation; but it win be a
0tistactiOn to every reader to hear that
he was more than consoled by subse-
Quently having "Tobyn brought to his
bed by a kind nurse for private inter-
view, and, thus fortified under his
troubles, the little patient progressed
most favorably.
