Retaliation Threatened on Mayor Shakespeare. Parkerson Also Promised Assassination. ; Tha Grand Jury Instructed on the Recent Tragedy. Hsmnossy's Struggles With the Italian Societies. "Where Is O'Malley Bajard on the Liability. New Orleans, March 17. Mayor Shakespeare yesterday received a letter ( purporting to come from a committee of i.3,000 Italians, notifying him that Parkereon, Wick'itf and himself must die at the .hands of the aforesaid committee. In f conc'usion the letter etatea that all the j chiefs assassins are not yet causht. Chief f of Police Gaster thinks all 8uch letters are a hoax. Joseph Provenzano this morning called . on Archbishop Janssens relative to the ; accusation oi Father Manoritta, charging him (Provenzano) with connection with the Man. Mr. Proven zano stated to the archbishop that the accusation wag cot only unpleasant, but that being made ct this time tended to do him harm, especially as it came from a pries-t. Provenzano said further that he had never had any relations of any nature with Tather Manoritta, not even being acquainted with him. He said to the bisb op that he had not carried out his first impulse to brin the matter to the atteniion of the court?, but had come to ask advice from th-3 heal of the church. Archbishop Jannsens replied that he was sorry that the affair had.occurred and that he had already seen FatherManoritta, who had written a letter for publication which he thought would bo satisfactory as it exonerated Provenzanofrom the Mafia accusation. The archbishop further told Ir. Provenzano that Father Manoritta bad been very much excited recentiy and ' he thonthi it best for all to drop the matter: that he did not believe the Americans had anything against law-abiding Italians, and that he was convinced that lather iManoritta would not be molested. Joseph Provenzano siys that as he only wanted to ciear himself of the Math accusations he will take no further steps in the ii atter. In hi letter Father Manoritta pays that he exonerates Proveozano before the pub ic of the charges he made that J'rovenzano belonged to the Maiia and in conclusion fays: Aa for the rest. 70a are authorized to ear that Mr. Provenzano himself cannot believe that I know any o:.e belonging to the Mad a, though with everybody in the city I am convinord that, cnhapj-ily, such society exists an on us, and that tUe midnight tuurJers wiil rot ba stopped at long as this society shall not be annihilated. John Caruso and Sunzeri were sen by a reporter in the pari?h prison this morning, and Provenzano'a statement read U them. The prisoners showed much uneasiness, but denied ever having had anything to do with the Maiia. A (statement i published here this evening that Scaffedi, an uncle o the man of that name who was slain Saturday, had teen blackmailed by the Maria about live years ago. Five hundred dollars was demanded, but Provenzano and others advised him not to pay. The Mafia finally agreed to take $2o0, providing the victim would pay for the dinner that appears to follow successful robbery and precede contemplated murder. To get from under the ban Scafledi asreod to the terms and went with Matranga to the swamp, where two massed men were met. Matranga explained to them that ScafTedi was showing a disposition to do the best he could, and the amount he was willing to pay should satisfy them. The masked men agreed to this and the party, together with others, afterward enjoyed the spread at the expense of bcaffedi. The rid Jury Charged. Judze It. fl. Marr in section A, criminal court, today charged the grand jury es follows: Gentlemen of the Grasd Jcry: Since your last adjournment New Orleans has been the scene of a deplorable tragedy, which terminated in the death of eleven person, prisoner! in tbe custody of the law, chanred with complicity in the assassination of David C. Uennessy, late chief of police of this city. I say a deplorable tragedy because, without reference to the causi all good citizens must and do regret th? taking ot nutnan life without warrant of law. Trie details aud incidents of this aliened homicide and its causes an i antecedents, ar- matters of publio notoriety; they are discussed in the dally prea, and they are largely occupying the mind at home and abroad. Oa Friday last the trial of a lare number of persons ehsreed witb the murder of Chief ilen11 easy, which bad occup ed the court for some twenty-fire days, terminated in a verdict of not guilty" a to all but three of those oa trial and a mistrial as to these three. This result was receive! with evident dissatisfaction by those who had watched tbe proceedings from day to day, and it was charged putlicly that some of the jurors and witnesses hd bean bribed or otherwise tampered with and influenced. Pursuant to a call mads by many citizens published in the daily pnpera of Saturday moroiiisr, large number of persons asiemlded en Canal-st., and proceeded to the parish prison. An entrance was effected by force, nine of the persons implicated in the killing of Jfenneoey were shot, and two of the three with respect to whom triers had been a mistrial, were hung, and tha crowd that surrounded the ing For a good spring medicine we confidently recommend Hood's Sarsaparilla.

prison quietly dispersed. Matters of such gravity cannot be ignored by coorU or grand juries. I am compelled, by duty as judge, to bring them to your notice, and 1 feel assured that they will receive at your hands proper attention and the calm, careful investigation, which they challenged. As I have heretofore charged yon, the district attorney is your legal adviser and you will, of course, consult with him freely touchin; this and all such other matters as may engage you attention. It is not my purpose now to do more than give this matter in charge to you and d so with every confidence that there will be no hasty or ill-considered aotion on your part, and that the rssults of your investigation and deliberation will be in accordance with your appreciation aod estimate of the facts as they may come to your knowledge. The sheriff will present, probably during tbe day, an official rep r; of the oecurrence of Saturday. When that report is filed it will be acceptable to you, and in reference to that, as well as all matters requiring investigation by you, I shall give you such further instructions from time to time as 1 may deem necessary. Shortly after the judge had concluded his charge Maj. Wright Schaumberg, the mayor's private secretary went before the f rand jury. He was followed by W. II. 'riest, secretary of the cora-mttee of fifty, George Denegre and Chief Gaster. Hmnesiy nml tlie Man . The late Chief liennessy was probably the best informed man in America with reeard to the Mafia society. Besides his fearlessness, an intimate acquaintance with many Italians gave him opportunity to learn much of the secret workings of the murderous Ieazu-. Several arrects hft made were upon Italian information, and if he had euccueded in inpirintr Italian witnesses with enough courage to come to court, he would have secured several convictions. The Maiia knew this, liennessy hims.'lf said that several Mafia assassinations were based upon the suspicion that the victims had given him information, Lsposito's ctpture being avenged in that way, and finilly the worried victims sought relief in the removal of liennessy. This evening Mr. George W. Yandervoot, Hennessy's private secretary and confidential friend, mad a statement of the history of Hennessy's connection with tbe Italians, which teils an interesting story : Mr. Yandervoot bejins with the Esposito case. A price was set upon the be:id of the famous bandit, and liennessy joined in the chase. Ksposito was captured on the etreet. liennessy kept him concealed until the New York chip w;o ready to leave, smuggled him on board, and then walked off boldly into a crowd of Italians who were watching on the wharf. Esposito was taken to New York, and Italians went on to swear that they had known the man here for twenty years and he could not, therefore, be the bandit. Among these witnesses were John Cam o, spared by th people l.tkt Saturday, and Kocco Geracci, who was killed in the attack on the prison, beside several Italians still prominent hero. The identification of Esposito was complete, and lie was taken to Italy. The Itali ins were boat on saving tho trn-at bandit nnd Maliachif, and o'f"red Hennery :"0,000 to swear i's-po-ito wai not the man. This the chief refused, and was a marled man. Hennery did not confound the Mafia and the Vendetta. The Vendetta was the instrument of private venufance. The Maiia was organized for robbery, blackmail and murder as well as revenge. He tmrsued tbe Maiia. In hia opinion, tbo leads of the local Mafia were Tony Matranga, Jim Caruso, Prank Romero and llocco Geracci. liennessy also thought Joe Maeheca a member. Maeheca was not the man's real r.ame. His father wa B -nt to the penitentiary in company with two others, it is said, hud wrote to his wife that he was virtually dead, and fho phouid marry uirain if eh pot a chance. She married M ichccaand her euu adopted Mac'iecaV nun". Sone twenty y-rars afterward lier !mband got free in som.? way nnd called on ids v. ife. The shork U f-u;-Tocd to have shatt-re 1 heal'h and reason, and the man was t-ilvnt y removed a few davs later. Tiie stiletto or poison did the work. Hennery resranled Ma?heca as a bad man. 1I was once the captain of the Innocents, a Sici'dtn political body charge i with many dark mine?. Hennery tracod ur Maclfca's past end when thero came a break between them the chief unwisely blurted out what he knew and threatened to land Maeheca in the otnte's prison. That was one of the mothes for Hennessy's doom. Hennrssy traced cut that the Mafia met in the Ital un quarter. Romero wns master-at-arms, hung around the courts, kept track of the "green dagos" and picked out the man for each a.saasin. Gerracci was the bulldozer oi the eociety, and Hennesy attributed two murders to that blood-thirsty Matian. Sentence of death was passed, lots were drawn in the di.Serent branches of the Matia throughout the citv nnd men from tiiilercnt sections were chosen, there being less danger of identification or detection in that plan. The victim was generally invited to a supper or game of cards and slain in the house of his friends. Yitrano, a witness lor the Provenzanos, was removed in that way, his head being clelt with an ax end the body burnt. Another Italian was murdered, the remaim carried to a canal far in the rear of the city and dropped therein. In both cases Hennery found a woman who saw the killing, but neither would identity anv of t e perpetrator?. But liennessy was certainly giving thera close calls. The L.-it Feud. The Provenzano-Matranga feud was the last. Tbe chief was friendly to the Provenzano., considering them Americanized and evidently not in tho Mafia. The heads of the opposing sides were rival stevedores. Had blood arose and trouble was imminent. Thore wete 5ever.1l rows nnd perFonal altercations and the chief determined upon peace. Ho sent for both side, told them no Mafia would bo allowed w hile he was chief, that he knew them, and that they mu-t live ia peac or go to prison, where he would send them. Henuessv made them shake hands and take a drink and they all left, seemingly on good terms. Maeheca then told Matranga he bad mnde a mistake that the Provenzanos would break their word and that tbe chief was helping the Provenzanos. bo the feud

Before morning liennessy had all the Provenzano parly in jail, but the Matran.'as t-aid they did not know who did the shooting. In the evening, however, the Matrangs held a caucus and decided to break the usual vendetta custom and to point out the Provenzanos as th-ir assailants Tbe Matrangaa told a marvelously constructed and consistent story and eo secured the conviction of the Provenzanos. The police, however, from captains to patrolmen swore they had seen tho Provenzanos rturing the shooting, and that at that tinne the Provenzanos were in Kcyalst. concert saloous. The prosecution attacked the police and broadly insinuated that the chief had connived with his men to save the Provenzanos. liennessy chafed under the imputation, as be had refrained from taking any interest in the case. Judge Paker granted a new trial, believing that the men had not been proven guilty bevond a reasonable, doubt. Hennessy's honor having been impugned be announced that he would take part in tho case.

Henne-wy always thought that O'Malley directed most of the enmity against him, refused to work in the Matranga ca- along side of O'Malley, and believed that if ha was killed O'Malley would have a hand in the job. Of the ii en mentioned above, Gerracci, Jim Caruso, Maeheca and Romero were kill-d, John Caruso escaped death by hiding in tin prison and O'Malley has not be n seen for several days, anticipating a visit from tlie vigilance committee. New Oki.kans, March 18.-12:30 a. m. A telephone message just received from tiie central station reports a shooting scrape on Canai-st. between Arthur Dunn, one of the counjel for th state in the liennessy case, nnd Prank Waters, a locally wel -known newspaper reporter. Ten shots were fired. aters was killed and lunn seriously wounded. The diftieulty occurred at the corner of Canal and Bourbon-sts. Information gathered from by-stand-ere is to the eflect that Vfaers, who was at the time under the influence of liquor, was u-uce very violent languaga aud abusing the citizens' committee and those connected with the Henneesy ca.e. Cr.pt. Arthur Dunn of the state's counsel in the case, came by and started across the etreet to take a car, when hi was spied by Waters, who was still abusing the committee aud others, and continuing his talk said: "There is on" of them now. Why don't he take it up?'' Just thAn Dunn turned andadvanced toward Waters, who was standing on the corner. As Dunn advanced Waters drew L b pistol and fired. Dunn.drawingabout the same time, also commenced shooting. Waters fired six fchots and Dunn five. Waters fell dead with one bullet through his face and another through bis head. Dunn was shot twice, once in the riht breast and once in the abdomen. The belief i3 that he is mortal y wounded. Both men resided in the Eighth ward, and there has for a lonz time been some folitical rivalry between them, n ISSo, under e the Guillotte administration, Dunn was a captain of police. At that time Waters was a reporter op an evening paper. On the 2Hth of September, ISSo, aters was attacked by Joe Uaker, tax collector of the lower district, and in the difficulty shot and killed Baker. Of late Waters has been connected w ith a weekly paper. Capt. Dunn has tor many years bei n a leading politician in the Eighth ward aud of late has been practicing law. He wn associate counsel for the state in the liennessy case. The grand jury today began its investigation of the killing 01 the Italian prisoners, and the causes which led to the miscarriage of justice. Bribery lias been accepted as the answer to the Vtter question, and Detective O'Malley and the jurv came in for a lar?e fchare of the day's inquiry. No findings were returned but it is said O'Malley will be indicted. It is understood that the citizens' committee will make a thoroueh investigation of the jury bribery matter, and will leave no Etone unturned until alt the facts in the case are brought to light. Col. T. N. Boylan,. who was the chief of police at the time, in an interview today, states pot-itively that liennessy did arrest Esposito in Jackson square while Mooney, the Ne.v York detective, waited outride with a carriage into which EspOfiito was hurried, driven to the police station, held a I night, and the next morning spirited nbonrd a steamship and taken to New York. Upon arrival there Mooney claimed all the credit for the arrest and liennessy never received a cent of money for hia cervices. O MALLEY IN CHICAGO. Sellgman with Him The Italians Still Bed II t. Chicago, March 18. The Italians in this city do not propose to "let up" in their efforts until reparation has been made for the New Orleans mob violence. Oscar Durante, of 1'Jt iHa, outlined their intentions today. Ho said: "Our extra tonight wiil say that if no agreement has been concluded between the governments by funday we will call a grand mass meeting Sunday evening in the largest hall in Chicsgo. We will protest bitterly against tbe btatementa made bv Mayor Sb&kesceare. Parieraoa and tVickliffe.

We will propose that every Italian society in the United States send r.s protests against the acts of the mob and ask reparation. We will propose also that each Italian colony of the United States form a protesting committee ready to send a representative to Washington in case it be necessary to send a large delegation to the capital to formally protest in the name of all Italians in the United States. We will prove that the statement published to the effect that some prominent Italians have approved the act of the mob id a he." I). U. O'Malley of New Orleans, for whom a body of citizens were in search with a noosed rope for alleged complicity with the MaSa, is said to be in Chicago. 1I left New Orleans and is reported to have been seen at the Grand hotel in Cincinnati on Monday night in company with Seligman, foreman of the jury in tbe Hennessy case. The rumor is that O'Malley went to Chicago from Cincinnati an I is hiding with one oi hi friends, a prominent saloonkeeper. The latter denies that he ia there.

NOT AT ALL LIABLE. Mr. Bayard Think "o International Qaes tioti l lnvlvl. Wilmixgtox, Del., March 17. Ex-Secretary of tate Bayard, when ssked for his opinion of the killing of the four subject of the king of Italy at New Orleans, said: "Taking the newspaper reports of this event, there ia no basis upon which the Italian government can place a claim for indemnity. The disturbance was purely local and there was no affront offered to the representatives of the Italian government. Neither was there any discrimination between the citizens of the United States and those of Italy. Bad as it was, all were u?ed alike." When asked if the settlement in the case of the massacre of the twenty-eight Chinamen at Rock Springs, Wyo., on Sept. 2, 18S3, afforded a precedent for a claim for indemnity in this latter cae he said: "No, I think not. The cases are not similar. It is very doubtful if the perpetrators of the Wyoming outrages were American citiztns. It 00 cund at a place and under circumstances that made it impossible to atl'ord th Chinese protection from the lawless miners who assailed them. In the pettlement of tho Chinese case the U. S. government agreed to pay the bid of 147,748.47 which the Chinese government rendered, but it was especially stipulated that the pay shou'.d not be understood as an aclr nowlil.:pnient of of. I ficiat obligation in the matter. The t . money Mas paid as a gratuity not as under an obligation of treaty or principle of international law, but solely irom a sentiment of gencroi'y or pity to aid the innocent and unfortunate." "Tha fact is," eaid .Mr. Bayard, "these people are given the same protection that id aUorded to American citizens. Tho courts are . open to them, and judgment is impartial. Further han that the United States lias no liability. The outbreaks of violence are part of the common riak to w hich all people are liable and which it is imposeib e to prevent. There is no ob igation cf law or custom of which I am aware that makes the Uni:ed States liable for indemnity or reparation in this cose." Ilarwn 1-nvx'a Virwu. Washington, March IS. Baron Fava, the Italian minister, today received the first reports from tbe Italian consul at New Orleans in relation to the killing of the Italians there last Saturday. The-e reports, it is said, sustain tiie position taken by Baron Fava in his protest lo Mir. BUiine of March 15, with relation to the i inaction of the authorities of New Orleans before and during the shooting. In transmitting a copy of the reports to Secretary Blaine, the baron repeated that tbe conduct ofthe local authorities at New Orleans was in the highest decree blameable, for the reason that it was not in keeping with their duJ ties to protect the lite of the Italian sub- ; jects according to the terms of the treaties existing between the two countries, as bad been called to the attention of ti e governor by Secretary Blaine with an unquestionable spirit of justice to which the baron bore cheerful witness. SHE WANTED DIAMONDS BADLY. A Kansas City Woman Ra'ds a SU ,oul Jewelry Str. St. Locis, March 21. One of the most daring robberies that has been committed in St. Louis for some time occurred last night. Kate Burg, claiming Kansas City as her home, entered tho jewelry store of Henry Yo6t, 1403 Olive-st., and asked to see some diamonds. The clerk placed a tray before her from which the selected one, and going to the do r as if desirous of examiniug it, dashed out and started on the run toward Washingion-ave. After the clerk had recovered from hia surprise be started in pursuit and caubt her at Fifteenth and Morgan, eeven blocks away. She was turned over to an officer and locked up. Lack of mony, she says forced her to commit the robbery. We'll write it down till everybody sees it Till everybody is sick of seeing it Till everybody knows it without seeing it that Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy cures the worst cases of chronic catarrh in the head, catarrhal headache, and " cold in the head." In perfect faith, its makers, the World's Dispensary Mcd- ; ical Association of Buffalo, N. Y., offers to pay $500 to any one suffering from chronic catarrh in the head whom they cannot cure. Now if the conditions were ! reversed if they asked you to pay Ssoo for a positive cure you might hesitate. Here arc reputable men, with years of honorable dealing; thousands of dollars and a great name back of them and they say "We can cure you because we've cured thousands like you if we can't we'll pay you $500 for the knowledge that there's on'e whom we can't cure." They believe in themselves. Isn't it worth a Irial? Isn't any trial preferable to catarrh?

Gen. Joseph K. Johnston Dies at Washington. His End Had Long Been Expected by Friends. Beauregard the Only One of the Six Southern Generals. The Story of His Career in War and in Peace. Personality of tbe Man The Cause of Death. Washington, March 21. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston died shortly after 11 oVIock tonight, at his residence on Connecticutave. The general has been sut'ering for the pnst three weeks with an affection of the heurt aggravated by a cold ho caught soon after Gen. Sherman's funeral in NewYork. Ilia physician has been tryin? to keep his strength up for some days, but his advanced afro has given little hope for his recovery from the beginning of his illness. The peneral did not eeem to suffer in the least and was conscious to the last. At his bedside were ex-Governor McLane of Maryland, the general's brother-in-law and the nurse. The immediate cause of death was heart failure, tbe result of degeneration of the heart, due in a measure to a cold contracted some weeks ago, but more particularly due to extreme old age. At times for about two years Gen. Johnson has shown unmistakable suns of a general breaking down. His mind often became bewildered so that be could not tell where be was or bow be came there. fcorne days after the Sherman luneral the general ona nijrht got up out of his bed whi:e in a state of profuse perspiration, which greatly aggravated the f iyrht cold with which he was then suffering. This brought on a severe attack of bis old heart trouble which completely prostrated him. His physic an. Dr. Lincoln, succeeded, however, -with much dilliculty in arresting the disease for a time, and for a day or two prior to a week jro yesterday he seemed to be really improving. On that day, however, h went down stairs without asi-tance, as he bad done before, but it proved too much for hia e'rer.ptb, and only with the aid of Governor McLain could h again roach hia bed or even rhe from the sofa, where he was sitting. From that time he continued to trow worse until atout 6 o'c'ock this evening when Dr. Lincoln found him perfectly comfortable and apparently a little better, while his friends and attendants knew that he niicht r ass away at any time, yet they had bad no warning that the end was no near. Governor McLain entered the room at a little after 11 o'clock and as he approached the general's bedsido be heard an almost inaudible sih and the genera! was dead. Gen. Johnston's nearest living relative is a sister to Mrs. Mitchell who lives in this city. The funeral services wid bo held in this city, although the day has not yet b e i fix d upon. The interment will be made in Green Mount ceiuetery in JJaltimore. Gen. Johnfton was the last, save Gen. I'eauri'gard, of the six full generals of the confederacy. He was born at Cherry Grove. Va., in 1S07 and was graduated from West Foint in 1S29 in the same class with Gen. Robert E. Lee. He was appointed second lieutenant of the Fourth artillery and first saw active service in the field "in L.?2 ia the Black Hawk Indian expedition. He was promoted in i?Soo and was an aide-de-camp on Gen. WinSeld S ott's staff in the J-eniinole war. lie participated in all the important battles connected with Gen. Scott's campaign in Mexico, from the takinu of Vera Cruz to the capturo of the City of Mexico. He was thrice brevetted for gallaniry during this war, and in ISiS was mustered out of the service as a lieutenant-colonel of volunteers, only to be reinstated by congress with bis original rauk of captain of topographical engineers. He was commissioned quartermastergeneral of the U. S. army in June, 18(50, but resigned tbe following April to enter the confederate service, in which, a3 a major-general of the volunteers, he assisted Geu. Lee in the work of organizing the men who were pouring into Richmond. Subsequently he was commissioned a brigadier general in the regular confederate fervice and was placed in command of Harper's Ferry. Ho joined forces with HeHurenard and remained in command of the consolidated tn-opi uutil 1802. At the batt e of Seven Fines he was wounded an 1 incapacitated for duty for about six months. ILs nxt service was as commander of the army of the Tennessee, and employed the winter of 1S63 in reorganizing his command, which had become demoralized by the defeat at Missionary Ridge. He was relieved of this command in J uly, 1804, by order of the authorities at Richmond. Gen. Hood succeeded him. Early in 1805 Gen. Lee again assigned him to the emmand from which he bad been relieved and ordered him to drive back Sherman. Gen. Johnson urged Lee to abandon Richmond, join forces with him and fight Sherman before Grant could come up, but Lee replied that it was impossible for him to leave Yirginia, as his force was small. Gen. Johnson, declining adecisi e engagement hung on Sherman's Hanks, annoying the latter and impeding his march froui Atlanta toward Richmond as much ns posible. Leo surrendered at Appomattox, and Johnston obtaining the consent of Fresideut Jefferson Davis that the war should not be further prolonged, entered into negotiations with hherman. The first agreement fram-xi was disapproved by the federal government, and on April 26 a second agreement was conc uded. Gen. Johnston alter the war became successively president of a railroad company iu Ark.insas, of an express company in Virginia, aud an insurance atrcnt in Georgia. He was elected to congress from the Richmond district in 1877 and next saw public life as commissioner of rai;roads, which office be held under President Cleveland's administration. He had lived in this city since lie lost his office under the present administrKtion. Gen. Johnston was buried in Baltimore yesterday. prepare for 1893. S. Y. WorlJ.

About a week aeo the Xeus stated that a bill had been passed by the legislature providing that no etockholder in a corporation shall have more than one vote, no" matter how many shares he may hold. This was telegraphed to the Cldcapo, Cincinnati, St. Louis and other outside papers by their correspondents here and oa tho following day was sent by the Associated Press from Chicago over the country generally. The matter has caused considerable comment throughout the country and lettere and telegrams of inquiry have been pouring in on the lawyers of this city and the secretary of state asking for copies of the act. In reply to a Sentinel reporter's inquiry as to whether or not lie had fcigned 6uch a bill Govenor Hovey replied : "I could not eay positively as the great number of bills to be signed on the last day of the legislative session prevented my doing more than reading the titles and merely sketching over the bilte. Such a provision might poss bly have escaped my notice, but the records in the secretary of etate's office will show positively in regard to this matter. It would be very stranue action on the part of the general assembly to pass such an act." When the inquiry was made of Myron D. King, deputy secretary of state, he replied in a very positive tone of voice: "There was no such provision in any bill passed at the last session of the legislature, and I wish The Sentinel and other newspapers of the city would do something to correct this wrong report which is being circulated to the detriment of the state. There is not a maii but brings us letters of inquiry and requests for copies of the law, and telegrams on the same subject are numerous. In fact, we are kept tuy answering these communications, which come from all over the country. The Fickhardt b:li, in which this proviso is said to be incorporated, contains no such section or anvthine like it." House bill 40-', the Pickhardt bill, which is supposed to contain tlie p'ovison in question is entitled an act to amend sec. 1 of an act providing for the incorporation of manufacturing, mining and other companies aud the increase of their amount of capital by a vote of the stockholders. The body of the act, however, provides for amending sec. U so that the amount of capi'al eto; k fixed by the company may be increased, and it may extend the term cf its existence, not to exceed lifty years from its first organization, by a vote of stockholders at any annual meeting. The difference between the title "to amend sec. 1" and the body of the bill amending "sec. 0" probably renders the bill invalid. A Hundred Mill on Sun. San FrancU-'o Eiacilner. Trof. Charles A.
