A DETERMINED. MOB.
They Were Dissuaded From Lynching Brute by Promise of Speedy Trial-More
 Trouble Feared

Savannah, Ga, Nov. 26.-A special to the Morning News from Gibson, Ca, says: -+#
 The little town of Gibson and vicinity is stirred from center to circumference The negro, Balam Hancock, who is con- fined in jail here charged with the of fense of rape upon the person of Bessie Shelton, and who was reported to have been lynched, is still in the hands of the officers of the law His victim first re- ported that her assailant failed to ac- complish his design, but on yesterday she admitted that he outraged her in most brutal manner, and it was only by a hairs breadth that he escaped Judge Lynch last night. About 100 angry armed men assembled at the scene of the crime, a swamp about one mile from town, last night at o'clock, where they were to remain until il o'clock, when they would enter the town, break down the jail door, take the prisoner out and swing him to limb just over the spot where the outrage was perpetrated and riddle the body with bullets. For tunately, however, the people of Gibson got news of the anticipated violence, and a posse consisting of the most prominent and influential citizens of the town has, tened to the infuriated assembly. and suc- ceeded, after long and earnest plea in
 
 them from carrying out their intentions. They promised and assured the mob that Judge Seaborn would be urged to order an extra term of court and try the accused this week. They positively de- clared if the negro was not tried during the week he would be lynched Judge Seaborn was communicated with and said he would look after the matter as soon as possible. This did not appease the wrath of the mob, and 1t is feared that the lynching of the rapist will be attempted tonight. F Sheriff Bradley is determined that the law shall be vindicated and is guarding the jail tonight with determined posse. The situation is a serious one and there may be a battle in Gibson before morn- ing. The negro. a big burly fellow, says he is innocent, but that he knows he will be killed.
 News has reached here that the negroes throughout the county are organizing and are arming themselves preparatory to making an attack on the jail, for the purpose of liberating Hancock.
 Sheriff Bradley is growing more deter mined, and is increasing his posse of depu- ties. He says that the negro shall not be mobbed or liberated.

ship Texas, which was constructed on English plans. Recently, with reference to the two battleships, Commodore Si- card, commandant of the Brooklyn navy yard, made the suggestion that the ram points should be lowered from the pres ent standard of feet inches. The idea met with opposition in the board of bu- reau chiefs, or board of construction, and Secretary Herbert referred the matter to the special board. The recommenda- tion of the board places it g feet below the line.
 The cruiser Minneapolis is practically ready to start for Smyrna, Asia Minor to assist in protecting American interests, but if the present bad weather contin- ues her departure will be delayed, It was said at the navy department today that if the weather cleared the Minneapo- lis would probably begin her long voyage tomorrow. She is now al Newport News, Va. The comparative quietude now ex- isting in the sultans domains has caused consideration to be given in official cir cles as to the question of whether it would be necessary to send the vessel, particularly as the United States has all ready two cruisers in Turkish waters. It is said the Minneapolis will go in any event. if only to allay apprehension.

REBELLIOUS CONNECTS.
They attack and Severely Beat the Foreman the Superintendent and the Depu-
 ty Warden.

Jackson, Mich., Nov. 26.-The convicts in the shirt factory at the prison became rebellious about 9:30 o'clock this morning and attacked the foreman named Maul- der, pounding him on the head and shoulders. The superintendent of the fac tory, James Coffey, attempted to in- terfere, when the other convicts attacked him with iron bars and clubbed him. Deputy Warden Northrup attempted to enter the factory and he was assaulted in similar manner, and but for the prompt arrival of assistance he would have been killed. It is said that trouble has been brewing for some time between some of the convicts and the foreman, which eliminated this morning when he corrected one of the men for not doing his work properly. The convicts struck Maulder in the face, when the general fight ensued in which William Curly, who assaulted Foreman John McClary in the stone shops nearly two weeks ago, took the leading part.
 The insurrection was subdued after a short time, and the injured men were cared for.
 While all received severe blows, no bones were broken, and it Is thought none are seriously hurt. Eight men are locked up as result.

FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT
AR. BUTL' : DENOUNCED THE JUDGE

New Orleans, Nov. 26.-Quite a sensa- tion was caused today by Judge Noise committing District Attorney Butler to the parish prison for contempt of court.
 Friday last the district attorney filed a motion to mol pros the case of Henry Bier for perjury for not being sentenced, the idea being to use Bier as an impor- tant state witness in another important case Judge Noise would not entertain the motion at the time, but deferred the matter until today, at the same time or dering subpoenas for the members of the grand jury that indicted and the petit jury which convicted Bier and who signed petitions asking mol pros in the case. Judge Noise stated his object was to ascertain who drafted the petitions and who was instrumental in obtaining signatu to them. The proceedings to- day were of a pretty lively character, resulting in a good deal of explanations by the district attorney as to his motives in desiring to enter the mol pros. Judge Noise was proceeding to dispose of the matter, and said that had the attorney general offered to mol pros the Bier case he would probably have entertained the motion. MT. Butler angrily inquired whether the court intended to say that it would entertain mol pros by the at
 
 attorney. Judge Noise replied that he did not deem it incumbent upon him to explain his remark.
 MT. Butler emphatically demanded to have the remarks explained, because they reflected upon his own course and motives, and he demanded to know what the judge meant by them. Judge Noise then said that the reason why he would entertain a mol pros by the attorney-gen- eral and not by the district attorney was because the newspapers had been teem- ing with scandal about the district at- torneys office. which had been a subject of public discussion, and he the Judge) had right to be suspicious of his &C., tions. It was true, Judge Noise said, that he had no positive eHidence of the district attorneys guilt, but his conduct had been a matter of investigation by the grand jury. MT. Butler was excited and said the court was traducing him, and went on to say something else. using strong language denunciatory of the judges criticism, when the judge re- manded him for contempt and sentenced him to twenty four hours in the parish prison. MT. Butler was soon afterwards taken to prison by the sheriff and Is now serving his sentence.
 Judge Noise refused to entertain the mol pros or to allow the motion to be filed.
