All last night and up to $50 this
morning, mobs ran riot through this
city on a hunt for negroes and those
unfortunates who fell into their grasp
We're either killed or so badly wounded
that they were left for dead After the
mobS got started, the negroes became
terroriZed and took shelter in their
homes. and the out-houses of white
people who protected them so it was
only the unsuspecting and inoffensivc
negroes who We're the victims. The po-
lice were powerless. AS fast as they
apparently dispersed a crowd in one
section it only reformed and removed
to some other point to continue its dew
ilish work.
The mobs were composed almost en-
tirely of boys under y years of age
and they had no leaders. but acted on
common impulse. The movement
started from gathering of men at the
Lee Statue corner of st. Charles ave-
nue. and Howard street, gathering
force as it moved and gradually be-
coming inflamed to the point of des
peration. After the mobs had stopped
in Morrison square, on Washington
avenue and Franklin street, near the
scene of the assassination of Captain
Day and Officer Lamb, where they lis
tened to speech from a man hailing
from kenner, they then started out to
waylay the negroes.
Most of the colored populat ton had
taken warning from the excitement of
the night before and kept indoors, but

homes from work and it was one of
those who was the first victim. He
was in a crowded Henry Clay avenue
car, near the square and when the
mob saw him. they rushed for the car
and dragged him out. firing one shot
in the car. He turned out to be Alex
ander Ruffin, Pullman car porter.
and he was badly used up. He was
cut and shot and beaten over the head.
There was another negro with him in
the car who hid under the seat. and
after the car had started the mob dis
covered him, but they could not catch
the car.
j. Cunly, the conductor of a Peters
avenue car. was shot in the foot on
Franklin street and the car riddled
with bullets.
f. G. Davis, the mOtorman on the
same car. was also shot in the foot.
Frank Shepherd. white man who
was in the crowd. was shot in the right
arm.
Coming down to Jackson avenue. the
mob met Il. p. Sanders, the colored
porter of an insurance agency. He
had heard the indiscriminate shooting
and stepped out of his gate to see what
it was about. He stepped into the
arms of the mob and they made short
work of him. They stabbed and shot
him in the back and left him for dead.
In the attack his watch was stolen.
A dozen or more of the mob went out
further in the rear of the town, where
they found negress named Ester

FASTEST STEAM VESSEL AFLOAT.


For three years the little torpedo boat
Turbinia-the first vessel fitted with steam
turbine machnery-has held the distinction
of being the fastest vessel in the world,
and only recently she attained what may
truly be called the marvellous speed of
thirty-five knots, or a little over forty
miles an hour. The Turbinia was COM
menced In 1894, and, after many alterations
and preliminary trials, was satisfactorily
completed in the spring of 1897. 1t may
be worth noting anew here that her prin-
cipal dimensions are: Length, 100 feet;
beam, feet and draught of water under
the propellors feet the trial displacement
having been 4iz tons. Steam is furnished
by water tube boiler with LOO square
feet of heating surface and forty-two
square feet of CRATE area, and closed stoke
holds are used, with the air supplied by
centrifugal fan mounted on prolonga-
ton of the low-pressure turbine shaft The
engines consist of three compound steam
turbines high-pressure, intermediate and
low-pressure, each driving on screw shaft;
on each of the shafts are three propellors,
making nine In all; the condenser Is of the
usual type, and has 1000 square feet of
surface. When officially tested, she al
tanned a mean speed on the measured mile
of thirty-two and three-fourths knots, and
the consumption of steam for all purposes
was computed to be fourteen and one-half
pounds per horsepower on the main en-
gines. Subsequently, after some small al
terations to the steam pipe, she was fur
Their pressed, and during some OF these
later trials the phenomenal thirty-hve-knot
speed was reached.
The first vessel of larger size than the
Turbinia to be fitted with steam turbine
machinery are the torpedo-boat destroyer
Viper, for the British government, and
a similar vessel for Sir w. G. Armstrong.
Whitworth & Co., Ltd. These vessels are
of approximately the same dimensions as
the thirty-knot destroyers now in the Brit
ish service, but have slightly more dis
placement. The boilers are about IL per
cent larger and it is estimated that up
wards of 10000 horsepower will be realized
under the usual conditions, as against $500
with reciprocating engines. The engines
of these vessels are In duplicate. Two
screw shafts are placed on each side of
the vessel, driven respectively by high
and a w-pressure turbine, and to each
of the low-pressure turbine shafts small
reversing turbine Is permanently coupled
for going astern, the estimated speed aste
be,nr fifteen and one-half knots on each
shaft. The latter Of the two vessels men
TONED has already reached speed OF up
wards of thirty-two knots. The manipula-
tion of the engines is a comparatively sim
nle matter, as to reverse 1t is only neces-
sary to close one valve and open another,
and as there are no dead centers small
praduations of speed can be easily made
