TUB MAFIA TRAGEDY.

NEW OIILKANS, March 20.—Thomas C. Collins was before the grand jury

Accompanying this was the captain's report, as follows: I respectfully report that March Mat about 10:20 a. in. a large body of armed men made their appearrnoe under the leadership of Messrs. W. S. Parkerson and J. C. Wickliffe. They demanded the keys of the ollloers on duty -ml were refused. The crowd then procoeded amid cries of 'Dynamite the Jail 'Break it down!' 'Shoot the officers If tbey don't give up the keys!' to the tide entrance on Treme street leading Into the bedroom of the captain and clerks. This door, although strengthened but a few minutes Bbefore by nailing seven planks and two strong scantlings, yielded to the battering ram. The door opening into the office was next broken down, then the door leading into the closet, and lastly the door leading into the corridor or prison proper. Tbey then took possession of the prison and the officers, covered with rlfics and shotguns, were forced to give up the keys. Resistance would uvail nothing. As soon as the crowd bogBn to assemble around the prison I ordered all prisoners to be lookod up Immediately, and before the officers reached the cells of the prisonors occuscd of the Hennessy assassination tbey ran out of their cells into the hall to seek refuge wherever they could. Joseph P. Macbcca, Antonio Scatfed and Marcbesi, Sr., ran upstairs into the oondemned cells unoccupied (third floor). To reach them two doors were broken down and they were found dead on the outside of the cell. Manuel Polltz was locked up in a cell adjoining the condemned cells on the gallery. He was taken out through tbo entrance on Treme street and hung to a lamp post on tbo corner of St. Ann and Treme streets. P. Monastcrlo, James Caruso, Charles Trahlna, Frank Komero, Roeo Oerachl, Lorretto Comitez, Charles Matrango, Charles Patorno, Charles Pietzo, Salvador Sugerl and Peter Natall ran to the colored side of the female department, and the bodies of tbe first six named were found lying neat the entrance. Sugerl, Pietzo and Natall were secreted in dog-kennel under tbe stairway, and were there found by the committee and tbelr lives spared. Antonio Bagcetto was found in tbo white female side and taken out through the main entrance on Orleans street and hanged to a tree opposite, Charles Patorno was found by the keepers on the third floor of tho colored female department.

It was next to impossible to guess at tho number shots that were tired.

"I nt onco went to the prison and instructed my officers to take every precaution, as I had but fourteen men on duty drovo to the court building. I obsorved on my way from the prison to the court that there was much excitement, and I reported at once to Judge Baker.

BREAK OF A COFFERDAM.

A Torrent or Water SuhiuorgeH the New Michigan Ship Canal's Excavatluf Plant.

SAUI.T STB. MARIE, Mich., March 20.—A break occurred iu the cofferdam protecting tl^e work of excavating for the new ship canal Wednesday evening. The water rushed through, gradually wearing the break larger, until a torrent of water 20 feet wide was pouring into the pit below where Collins & Karwell's entire excavating plant is located," completely submerging it. The water rose in the pit at the rate of 'J feet an hour until Thursday afternoon when it reached the top of the cofferdam below the pit and is now emptying into the river below. The government pumping house was partially submerged, putting out the iires. There is a large force of men and teams endeavoring with hay, stones, bags of clay, timber, etc., to stop the flow. Opinions differ as to the cause of the break, some attributing it to heavy blasting, others to the fact thai the foundation of the cribbing is on sand. The damage will be heavy and the work of excavation delayed several weeks.

Torn papers found in the waste-basket in the office of the state librarian were pasted together and found to include a roll-call 011 which a number of names of legislators had been checked off, but having 110 significance in itself, a sheet of manilla paper which bore impression of several names written in lead pencil, a paper on which were some figures in pencil and some paper bands bearing the marl of the Fresno bank which had evidently been used on packages of money. Tho committee decided to summon the cashier of the bank in question to testify as to bands. Among the contents of the now famous waste-basket were found scraps of paper, which, ivhen pasted together, were found to have belonged to adherents of all contestants for the senatorship. but iu all the papers shown Thursday nothing was developed having any bearing upon the senatorship fight.
