New Ohi.kaxs. Oct. IS. "Down with the Dagos! Down with this assassins!" Is the cry of thousands of angry inen, and it seems certain that the city is on tho jovo of the bloodiest race riot ever known in America. Not only has it been learned that Chief of I'olico Ilonnessy was murdered by the Mafia, an association of Italian assassins, hut tho astounding revelation has boon made that tho murderers had piannod to kill a number of otlior officials. Public feclinp is strongly aroused against the whole Italian colony at this place, and tho least thin? would precipitate a riot, having for its object the extermination of the Italians of this city. A steamship is now on her way up the rivqr from ljaly wi^over 8".H [grants on board, and a determination is expressed to prevent tholr landing.

The police searched tho residonce of one of the inen arrested for tho murder of Chief of Police llennessy and found a detailed plan to assassinato all city or State officers who acted counter to tho wishes of the Mafia, an Italian secret society formed for the purpose of assassination. This society includes a larife portion of the lower class of Italians. Heretofore they have- generally confined their assassinations tj their own nationality, and this is one of the few instances of their applying their methods to one not of their own people.

There is no doubt that. Chief Ilennessy was the victim of the vendetta that Iris heen carried on by tho Italian colony in this city fur many years, and met, his death at the hands of the Mafia. The cause of the killing dates back to last spring, when certain members of this society, known as the I'rovin/.anas gang, waylaid ami shot into a wa^on-load of rival Italians one nitfht. as they were returning from unloading a fruit vessel. The police of Hie ci:.v, directed by tho murdered chief, uy.er laborious efforts finally unearthed the plot and the workings of the society and secured enough evidence to convict the perpetrator- of the attempted assassination. who were sentenced to life imprisonment. A new trial was "granted, and it was sot for next week. Chief llennessy had possessed himself of important information in regard to the workings of the Malia in his efforts to probe to the bottom, and it was believed that on the trial of tl)9 case Ije would expose tho inside workings of this bund of assassins. The possession of this knowledge, with their record from Italy and his avowed determination to break tip the Mafia and put a stop to these assassinations were, without doubt, the causes that led to his murder.

On Wednesday night shortly after 11 o'clock Chief llennessy left the Central J'olice station in conipuny with Captain Connors, a member of Moyland's Detective Agency, for liis home. Connors went with him to within a block of his house where he left him, Connors going down-town and llennessy toward home. Connors had walked about a block when throe loud reports in rapid succession startled him, sounding like shotguns, in tho direction in which Chief llennessy had taken. In an instant these were followed by several pistol shots, as if from a return fire. Connors turned and ran in tho direction of the tiling. He found llennessy sitting on a step badly wounded and asked him who had done it. llennessy replied, "Dagos." Examination showed that Hennessy's body was fairly riddled with slugs and bullets. He was removed to the hospital, where he died tho next morning at"5 o'clock. The post-mortem developed four wounds, either of which would have proved fatal, one perforate ing the stomach.

The block where the shooting took place was immediately surrounded by polico and the gutters searched. One shotgun was found in the gutter with one barrel loaded and one empty. Fresh tracks in tho mud were also discovered. Three more guns were found in tho gutter on tho next block loaded with buckshot, the barrel of one having been recently discharged. Two more were found in a gutter a short distanco away, loaded like the others, a barrel of ono having been tired. All of them were of a folding pattern and sawed ofl so as to bo carried under the coat.

Wholesalo arrests of Italians followed, until seventy-one were arrested and six held. Three of thorn wore positively identified by parties who were living near by tho scono of tho crimo. One of tho men had a scalp wound, presumod to have been inflicted by Ilonnessy, who emptied Ills pistols at his assassins after he was shot down. The general belief Is that the men who fired the shots are simply tbo tools of tho leaders ot the Mafia, and a determination is expressed to probo tho whole Mafia to the bottom and fnete out stern justico to every onofn any way implicated in this foul assassination.

Antonio Scafflde, identified as one of the assassins of Chief llennessy, was shot and mortally woundod at 11:45 o'clock Friday in tho parish prison by Joseph Duffy, a young man 18 years of age. Tho shooting was done In tho corridor or "bull

ring" of the prison, and l)u1fy's actions wsre so quick that several deputies who were present knew nothing of what was going on until the shot was tired.

Chief of Police Ilenr.ess was hurled Frit -7 evening. His funeral was ono of tho gest ever seen in New Orleans.

Excitement is at fever heat, and throats of lynching are freely indulged In. The prison where the murderers are confined is being strongly guarded with a view to defeat the attempt at lynching if ono is made. Great crowds are awaiting tho arrival of the shipload of Italian immigrants and threatening Vengeance if they attempt to land.

Mayor Shakespeare has appointed a committee composed of fifty prominent citizens who are deputized to thoroughly investigate tho case. They will bring before them former victims of tho vendotta who havo escaped death, and will endeavor to compel them to name their assailants with a view to reaching the bottom facts.

A large majority of the immigrants arriving here are Italians or Sicilians, moro than 1,5U0 having arrived hero within the last twelve months. Tho Italians havo ^orotoforo been allowed

to

land without undergoing a strict examination, and some of them woro paupers, brigands or ex-convicts. The United States Collector Of Customs says that the departpent, in viow of tho recent assassination, hflS delertrjinod to strictly enforco the immigration laws ana send every one who could not pass a rigid examination back where he oame from.

A PANIC IN CHURCH.

rire on tli« Altur frightens 1.500 Clillctrmi In Attendance ut Mhm in st Catholic Church in Chicago—Twenty-Five of

Them lititlly Hurt in the Hush to Km* cape Which Kiiftue*, CHICAGO, OCT. 1. At S o'clock a. m. there were 1,5)0 children from 5 to 15 years of ago in tho church of St. Stanislaus ICosika, corner of Xohlo and Ingraham streets, in attendance on a special mass, Kev. Father Vincent Parzynski celebrant. Tho children were on their knees and tho church was silent save for tho voice of the priest, when a large altar curtain was ignited bv a candle and immediately burst into a brilliant flame, which speedily enwrapped tho entire altar and roredos. Instantly a panic ensued and the quiet bodv^ of child worshipers was transformed into a frantic, shrieking mob rushing pell moll for the street. Priests, teachers and siswrs of Notre Dame vainly strove to retain their youthful charges and caught up tho smallest, in their arms from under the feet of the mob. Not until the entire number had found their way thro iir:i the narrow doors into tho street did the panic subside and then the entrance to tho church, from tho curbstone up the steps to the inner door, was found to bo wet with tho blood of a scon: of injured children. Probably twenty-five children, from 7 to 15 years of age, were injured, several of them so badly that it is thought they will die. Tho fire in the church was extinguished almost as speedily as it was kindled and with not more than S100 damage to the altar furnishings. llev. Father P.arzynski and his assistants did all in their power to make tho children understand there was no danger, but his efforts wen* rendered fruitless by an old woman in the rear of the church, who screamed: "Fire! Fire! Children, you'll all be burnt!" Then the exodus started.

A flight of seven or eight stone steps leads down from, the c.hurch. and the children and women fell down the stairway. Others came up from the basement below, and the jam was rnado all the worse. Frank Dze wizski, au II-year-old boy living at OtH Noblo street, who can not. survive, lay on tho tloor, and 150 children walked on him. He received internal injuries, and the doctors express no hope of his recovery.

Fire broke out in the oil rooms of tho Cherry Morrow Manufacturing Company, situated within tho walls of tho State jienitenliary in this city, at (I o'clock Friday evening. Tho flames spread rapidly, and tho entire plant of the company wasdestroyod. No convicts were in this portion of tho prison ind the origin of the lire is unaccountable. Tho old prison, built in lt22, is unharmed, and all the convicts bad been safely housed there the night boforo tho lire began. A company of the State militia and a division of the municipal police successfully controlled tho crowd. Outside tho walls throo small cottages and a lumber yard belonging to tho Cherry Morrow Company were consumed. It is estimated that tho losses will amount to 8200,000. The fire was out by 8 o'clock, and owing to the efficient service of the militia and polico no escapes or casualties occurred.

He ate alight breakfast, and was as cool and collected as ho lias been any time since the sentence, and occupied his time as usual until tho arrival of the ministers and Miss Jennie Gordon. Kev. ('. A. Kucks and Kev. N. G. Wilson and the young lady prayed and sang with him for an hour or more. Efforts wer«.' made to have him reveal bis real name, but he stubbornly refused to do so. Alter Miss Gordon and the ministers hud left him ho smoked a cigar which had been given him. and when he had finished the sheriff led him to the gallows. Maxwell was apparently not in the least nervous and requested his attendants not- to take It is arms, stating he could walk, lie was seated on a chair on the drop and Kev. Mr. Kucksoffered prayer.

Tho minister had scarcely finished when Maxwell, addressing the sheriff, sa "I should think, John, if you had any feelings j'ou would have covered the windows, do not know that the law of this State requires that this aftair bo a public spectacle.

Tho sherilT replied that the windows wore too high for any ono to see through. As Derenzy removed the chair and the sheriff strapped his legs Maxwell whispered to the former: "God have mercy on my soul! havo mercy on my soul! Remember mo in my last breath to Jeannie."

Tho sherilT then adjusted tho rope and the black cap. and at o'clock cut tho cord holding the drop. In six minutes lifo was extinct.
