+ SHOT BY SAFE-BLOWERS. Two Ohio City Business-Men and One Lurglar Kilied — Two Other Citizens - Badly Wounded—An Exciting Midnight ~ Scene. it - LA, 0., Oct. 18.—As several citizens were returning home about 3 o'clock Friday morning from a neighboring town they detecied robbers in Franklin Hall’'s grocery and general store at Ohio City, a small town west of this city about thirty miles on the Chicago & Erie road. The robbers were at work on the safe when they were discovered by the men, who gave the alarm, and a posse ‘was organized to capture them, The town had been troubled with burglars and safe-blowers for some time, and when it became known that they had been discovered in the act every one was anxious to have the burglars arrested, and accordingly they. turned out en masse. The crowd was assembled at a given point and all arrangements were made for the raid. A guard was stationed at the rear end of the building, while double the force started in at the front entrance. No sooner had‘the first guard made its appearance than the robbers detected it and opened fire. A large number of shots were exchanged. ‘The noise of the Q)attle attracted other citizens and additions to the fcrece were made every minute. The robbers had the advantage, and while the battle was going on in front of the store blew open the safe. The ammunition of the crowd of citizens gave out. and the robbers seeming to be abundantly supplied drove them back, but not until one of their number was left behind, and Charles Hoover and William Place, two of the crowd who attempted to arrest them, were killed, and Adolf Kern and G. W. Sanders badly wounded. The four robbers.then made good their escape. They were followed by the posse for some distance, but the latter finally gave up the chase. The town “by this time had been thoroughly aroused, and the entire population had turned into the streets. The excitement knew no bounds. The corpse of the dead robber was taken to an undertaking establishment, but no one could identify the remains. The robbers only -obtained a few dollars for their trouble, as Mr. Hall had banked his money, about $5,000, just before he closed up his store for the night. He had received the money in payment for some real estate. Officers are now: in pursuit of the robbers. GAME TO THE LAST. %

AGAINST WILSON’'S BILL.

A Court in Kansas Decides That It Can Not Revive State Laws Declared Unconstitutional—Defeat for the Prohibitionists.

TorekA, Kan., Oct. 18.—Judge Foster, of the United States District Court of Kansas, and Judge John F. Phillips, of the District Court for the Western district of Missouri, filed their decision Friday in the Rahres habeas-corpus case, which is a test of the Wilson original package bill. The judges did not enter upon the question of the constitutionality of the new law, but based their decision entirely upon the question as to whether the existing prohibitory law of the State applies, or whether additional legislation -should be had to bring into action in the State the provisions of the Wilson bill. They held that inasmuch as the Supreme Court of the United States had decided the Kansas prohibitory law null and void, so far as it referred to original packages, the law was as if it had never been enacted. A law in conflict with the constitution is not only illegal and violable, but it is absolutely void, and ‘‘no subsequent change of the constitution removing the restriction could validate it or breathe into it the breath of life.” Gored to Death by a Bull. RaciNeg, Wis., Oct. 18. — Gotthard Smith, living in the town of Caledonia, was on Thursday night gored to death by a bull. He went into the field to bring ‘the cattle home.

The face of the beloved jurist was exposed, and during the few hours the body lay in state it was viewed by several thousand people. . The city had donned the garb of mourning out of respect to the memory of the honored dead. Public and private buildings were covered with black and presented a somber appearance, but a high wind during the early morning destroyed ma ny decorations.

Lillie Booth Kills Dan Price, Her Betrayer and Defamer, at Qnincy, L= She Receives a Mortal Wound by an . Accidental Shot from Her Own Revolver.

QuiNcy, 111., Oct. 20.—A double shooting ina crowded street startled the whole city Saturday. About? o'clock, while Dan Price was walking north on Sixth street, a woman who proved to be Lillie Booth. ecrept up behind him, and pointing a revolver at his mneck fired. The man rushed into a store adjoining, pulled out -a revolver and returning to the street placed the weapon within two feet of the woman’s body and fired, but missed her. The plucky woman was ready to give her assailant another round when he fled into the store and fell to the floor. The revolver in the woman’s hand was wrenched from her by her victim’s brother. It exploded during the struggle and the bullet passed through her body. She was hurried to a surgeon’s, where her wound was dressed. ‘

Price was quickly taken to the hospital, but died late in the afternoon. Miss Booth lingered until 6:30 a. m. Sunday, when she died. The cause for the shooting is traced back to a suit of an unusually sensational character. Price was engaged to Miss Booth, and a year ago last June suddenly left her, going to Salina, Kan. Price was sued in Kansas, the .girl claiming that he had betrayed her. Every effort had been made to induce Price to marry his viotim, but he refused, claiming that others had been intimate with her. He finally signed an agreement to the effect that gt her ch d was born after March- 1 he would acknowledge its paternity. On February 28, six hours before the date mentioned in the agreement, the babe was botn, and Price refused to assume it as his own. The suit was then brought. It ended in defeat for Miss Booth, the jury deciding that according to the terms of the contract Price could not be held. The latter returned to this city some weeks ago and began to circulate scandalous stories about Miss Booth. The shooting followed. Both parties were highly connecjed : It now develops that Miss Booth had contemplated killing Price for some time. Shorily after the ending of the suit at Salina Price received an anonymous letter telling him that his time on earth was short, that he would never live to see the snow fly again. He afterward received two or three others of the same import. Price evidently expected something of the kind, for just before coming to Quiney he armed himself and made a will.

ASSASSINS IN THE TOILS, The Slayers of Chief Hennessy, of New ' Orleans, Thought to Have Been Caught " —Mayor Shakespeare’s Ringing Manifesto—Cowardly Methods of the ‘Mafia” - NEw ORLEANS, Oct. 20.—At a special meeting of ouncil at noon Saturday Mayop”Shakespeare’s message was read. It fs as follows: e e “It ig#fih the profoundest grief and indignation tfat I make to you the official announcement of the death of David C. Hennessy, superintendent of police in this city, grief at the loss of a true friend and an efficient officer; indignation that he 'should have died by the hands of despicable assassing, He was waylaid and riddled with bullets almost at his door-step on last ‘Wednesday night, and he died on Thursday morning at 9 o'clock. The circumstances of the cowardly deed, the arrests made and the evidence collected by the police department show Dbeyond doubt that he was the victim of Sicilian vengeance wreaked uppn him as the chief representative of law and order in this community - because he was seeking by the power of our American laws to break up the fierce vendettas that have so often stained our streets with blood. Heretofore these scoundrels have confined - their murderings among themselves. None of them have ever been convicted because of the secrecy with which the erimes have been committed and the impossipility of getting evidence from the people of their own race to convict. Bold, indeed, was the stroke aimed at their first American victim; a shining mark have they selected on which to write with the assassing, hand their contempt for the civilization of the new world. We owe it to ourselves and to every thing that we hold sacred in this life to see to it that this blow is the last. ‘We must teach these people a lesson that they will not forget for all time. What the means are to reach this end I leave to the wisdom of the council to devise. It is clear to me that the wretches who committed this < foul deed <are the mere hirelings and instruments of others higher and more powerful than they. These instigators are the men we must find at any cost. For years past the existence of stiletto societies among the Sicilian& in this city has been asserted. Appeal.was made to me by a prominent Italian = during my former - administration to protect him from. blackmail ahd murder, but as he was afraid to give any names I could do notking for him, - It is believed that these horrid associations are ‘patronized by some of the wealthy and powerful members of their own racein this city. and that they can point out who the leaders of these associations are. No community can exist with murder-so-cieties in its midst. These societies must perish or ‘the community itself must perssh. « The Sicilian who comes here must become ‘an American ecitizen and subject . his wrongs to the remedy of. the law of the land, orelse/there must be ‘no plice for him on the American continent.- This sentiment we must see realized at any cost. at any hazard. The people look to you to take thé injtiative in this matter. Act promptly without fear or favor. 8 . S 0

'JOS. A. SHAKESPEARE, Mayor.”

Councilman Brittin offered a resolution that the mayor appoint a committee of fifty or more, if he deems proper, to thoroughly investigate these secret orders and report. Adopted. : The mayor has received a communication motifying hin that ‘he will be the next victim. Mr. Shakespeare saysthat this will not deter him from doing his duty. | “éeve‘ral more Italians believed to have been implicated in the ‘murder have been placed behind the bars. Joe Macheca, who is alleged to bélong to the gang of assassins, hearing that he was wanted, surrended to Police €ommissioner Frank Barker. Macheca has been identified by the colored woman who leased the little shoe shop where fhe assassing were ambushed as the man who bargained with her for the house. o

Another of the suspects, Chdrles Trabina, a laborer on the Larpy plantation, was fully identified by the colored porter of Grace Church as one of the men who fired upon Hennessy.. S )

The Provenzanos, who had been convicted of lying in wait to murder the Matrangas, on testimony which Judge| Baker declared to be unworthy of belief in granting them a new trial, have given their " version of the matter. When asked who shot the chief of police Provenzano replied: ‘‘Matranga, sure.” :

“Why do you think lso?” . “Because he was going to be a witness for us and was going to expose thein. He knew - all .about Matranga and Geraci. He got some things from Italy about them, and he was going to tell wbat he knew, and fhat would break them up. ‘Matranga was the headl of the Stoppaghera or Mafia Society. There are about twenty leaders of them. They are the committee and there are - about 300 greenhorns who have got to do any thing the leaders say. 'The greenhorns do the killing. The leaders pay them $lO, $2O or $lOO to get.a man out of" the way, and if the man they order to kill some one won’t do it they have him killed so he can’t tell any thing to the police. They’ve killed two of .our witnesses now.” e

The police found on Saturday another of the peculiar weapons used by the Italian assassins—a sawed-off shotgun. This makes three now in their possession. Theése guns have the barrels cut off to about seventeen inches, the breech sawed off and a hinge put on it just back of the trigger guard, so that the weapon can be folded up to a length of twenty inches, making a gun that is carried under the coat by a hook which is”fastened to the weapon for the purpose. Ty :

The history of the vendetta in this city is replete with deeds.of murders and violenoe, and a record of those for the last twenty years would fill a volume. The usual method of disposing of victims now is by means of the rifle or shotgun, described above. Up to ten years ago the long, covered, sharp Lknife of the ’fruit handler was the favorite weapon. The mode of attack was to approach the vietim stealthily from the rear and, throwing an arm around theineck. bend the head of the victim baek, and in a jiffy his jugular vein was severed.

Dillon and O’Brien, who have arrived in this city, Mr. O’Brien stated that the sole object of flight was to enable the two gentlemen to keep their engagements in the United States.. He was confident that their zmission - would prove successful. After remaining eight days in Paris for the purpose of enjoying a brief rest after their recent severe trials and to permit of communication with the leaders of the party in Ireland and America, the famous Irishmen will proceed to Havre, where they will take a. steamer displaying the flag of France and bound for New York.

- Mr. Dillon said he had nothing to conceal regarding the motives for the flight of himself and his colleague from Ireland. He said: ;

.‘‘lt is our wish to submit the couditioqgl Ireland and appeal on behalf of their unhappy brethren to the seven o eight millions of Irish peopie in America. The Americans are greatly interested in Ireland, and we have no doubt of the political and financial success of our: mission. We need money for the struggle! against the landlords and to assist the unhappy tenants who are perishing from hunger and to. build :houses for jfhe evicted families. The Government wanted to deprive the sufferers of these resources, and therefore we did not hesitate to flee. We will remain in America four months and will then return to England and surrender ourselves to the police.”
