AN event of great interest to astronomers, the disappearance of ' Saturn’s rings, will take place in this year. On September 22 the plane of the rings will pass through the earth. At that time the observer on the earth will look at them edgewise, and in powerful telescopes they will appear as a straight line of light. Between Sept. 22 and’ Oct. 30 they will almost entirely ' disappear, inasmuch as the sun and the earth will be on opposite sides of the plane of the rings. After Oct. 30 they will reappear, the sun again shining on the same side presented to the earth. - PR

Miss MonrLie TALMAGE, a niece of Dr. Talmage, was born in China and lived there some time ag a missionary. !She could speak Chinese before she learned English. She says the Chinesé language is very difficult to® master, because 80 much depends on the tone: or pitch in which the same word is spoken. For instance, the word ‘“Gee” has eight different meanings as it is pronounced.. The word ‘‘Ku-je” means *‘precious,” and it also means ‘‘devil.” One American who was studying the language referred to his wife as his “Ku-je,” and as he did not get the pitch right he called her a devil.

t THEIR WRATH FELT. : The Murder of Chief Hennessy, ’ at New Orleans, Avenged. Indignant at Their Acquittal the Infurlatfd Populace Rises in Its Might : -and Lynches Eleven of His All : leged Assassins. l TERRIBLE SCENES. “ | Npw OrLEANs, March 16.—New Orleaire struck the Mafia a death blow ‘Saturda?» It wreaked a terrible vengeance upon the Sicilian assassins who are believed tt have relentlessly slain David C. Henness Y+ and there are now eleven men dead wh.® Were happy Friday over their victory in Fhe greatest criminal trial the city has ever witnessed. It was not an unrul,% midnight mob. It was simply a sullen; .de—termined body of citizens who to.9K into their own hands what justice ha.l ignominiously failed to do. The correct list of the men shot is as ‘ follows: (Joseph Macheca, Manuel Politz, Antonio Marches; Antonio Scoffedi, Antonio asagnetto. Brzss Gerachi, 'J 7.meB Caruso, Loretto C?m;tgz, Pi%tro Manasterio, Louis Trahina anrd Frank Romero. .The boy, Marchesi Matranga, and Incerdona, who ‘ had been, acquitted, were spared. | The ¢ hief of police was slain October 15, an 4 that very night the evidence began ‘to accumulate, showing that his de’ 4th had been deliberately planned by: 2, secret tribunal and carried out boldly and successfully by the tools of the conspirators. “The trial lasted twentyfive days, and though the evidence seemed conclusive, the jury—currently charged with having been tampered with—failed to convict. Friday night a body of cool-headed men, lawyers, doctors, merchants and political leaders, all persons of influence and social standing, quietly met and decided that some action must be taken and justice swift and sure visited upon those whom the jury had neglected to punish. Saturday ‘morning a call for a mass-meeting at Clay square on Canal street appeared in the papers, which editorially deprecated violence. !' At 10 o’clock there was a crowd of several thousand anxious people congregated around the Clay statue. They hardly knew what was going to happen, but they seemed ready to go to any length, and, while there were, of course, many of the lower element in ‘ the throng, a large proportion were the leading people of the town. W. 8. Parkerson, the leader, is a prominent lawyer ' here, the president of the Southern club, and the. man who led the vigorous city reform movement three i years ago. Walter D. Deneger, another of the speakers, is one of the leaders of ' the New Orleans bar. John C. Wickliffe, another leader, is also a prominent attorney, and James D. Houstan, ‘another, is one of the foremost men of the state. b | ' Several speeches were made. |

: ‘‘Shall we get our guns?” ' , ‘““Yes, yes, get your guns,” said Mr. : Parkerson. ‘‘Get your guns and meet us in Congo. square immediately.” | Loud cheers were given as Mr. Parker|son and the other gentlemen ‘| moved down the steps. Then an ominous silence reigned, and + the steady tramp, tramp of men fall- | ‘-ing into Wine and marching along was 1 heard and the crowd followed the leadl ers along Canal street to Rampart. | They marched down-Rampart to a place where weapons were obtained and then | Congo square was in sight. .The parish prison.was reached at 1 10:30 o’cloch. The wooden door on | Marais street was broken in with a | large billet of wood used as a catapult iand heavy rocks were also poured l against it. After the door had been brok | en down there wasa wild rush for entrance. Two men, however, stood at the ’ door and prevented anyone from going in except those that carried shotguns | and Winchesters _ | The inmates of the jail were ready to "direct the way to where’ the Italians ! were. ‘‘Go to the female department.” ! some one yelled, and hither the men with their Winchesters ran. But the door was locked. In a moment the key was produced. Then the leader called for some one who knew the right men and a velunteer responded and the door was threwn open. The gallery was deserted, but an old woman, speaking. as fast asshe could, said the men were upstairs. A party of seven or eight quickly ascended the staircase and as they reached the landing | the assassins fled down at the other end. Half a dozen followed them. Scarcely a word was spoken. It was time for action. When the pursued and their pursuers reached the stone courtyard the former darted toward the Orleans side of the galléry and crouched down beside the eells, their faces blanched, and, being unarmed, they were absolutely defenseless. In fear and trembling they screamed for mercy. But the avengers were merciless. = Bang! bang! bang! : rang out the reports of the murderous weapons and a deadly rain of bullets poured into the crouching figures. Gerachi, the closest man, was struck in the back of the head and his body pitched forward and lay immovable on the stone pavement. Romero fell to his knees with his face in his hands, and in that position was shot to death. Monasterio and James Caruso fell to- | gether under the fire of half a dozen guns, the leaden pellets entering their bodies and heads, and the blood gushing from the wounds. |l - The bloody executioners did their work well, and beneath the continuing fire Comitez and Trahina, two of the men who had not been tried, but who { were charged jointly with the other accused, fell together. Their bodies were literally riddled with bullets, and they | were stone dead almost before the fusil- ’ lade was over. When the group of assassins was discovered on the gallery Macheca, Scoffedi and old man Marchesi separated from the other six and ran upstairs. i 1 Thither half a dozen men followed them, and as the terror-stricken assassins run into cells they were slain. Jo Macheca, who was charged with being the arch conspirator, was a short, fat man, and was summarily dealt with. He had his back turned, when a shot struck him immediately behind the ear, and his death was instantaneous. There was no blood from the wound, and when the body was found the ear was swollen so as to hide the wound, which the coroner had great difficulty in locating. @ e | Scoffedi, one of the most villainous of the assassing, dropped like a rag when ‘who was not killed outright. He was: | struck on the top of the head while e Sl o e ey o

was mortally wounded he lingered all the afternoon. ; ‘ ! Politz, the crazy man, was locked up in a cell upstairs. The doors were flung open and one of the avengers, taking aim, shot him through the body. He was not killed outright, and in order to .satisfy the people on the outside, who were crazy to know what was going on within, he was dragged down the stairs and through the doorway by which the crowd had entered. Half carried, half dragged, he was taken to the corner. A rope was provided and tied around his neck and the people pulled him up to the cross-bars. Not satisfied that he was dead, a score ¢f men took aim and fired a volley of shot into his body, and for several hours his body was left dangling in the air. Bagnetto was caught in the first rush upstairs and the first volley of bullets pierced his brain. He was pulled out by a number of stalwart men through the main entrance to the prison and from the limb of a tree his -body was suspended, although life was already gone. : - Fast s soon as the bloody work was done Mr. Parkerson 2ddressed the crowed, and asked them to dlﬁperse, This they consented to do with a ringing shout, but. first they made a rush for Parkerson, and, lifting him bodily, supported him -on their shoulders while they marched up the street.-- The avengers came back in a body to the Clay statue, and then departed. Immense crowds rushed from all directions to the neighborhood of the tragedy, while the streets in front of the newspaper officeg were blocked with peopie anxious {3 see the latest bulletin.

There was intense but suppressed excitement, and from one end of the city to the other the action of the citizens was applauded. Coroner Lemoniere reached the prison at 12:30 o’clock and viewed teh bodies of the ten men. They were stretched out in the prison. The verdict was that the men had come to their death at the hands of unknown parties. Sheriff Villere was not at the prison when the mob reached there.” He was hunting the mayor in order to have the police ordered out. Attorney General Rogers also hunted up the mayor as did the ltalian consul but they were unable to find him, and the work was done before the mayor or the governor could interfere.

~ The leaders in the movement representing the best citizens held a secret meeting Saturday night and discussed the occurrence of the day and the ac- | tion to be taken in the future. It was decided that there should be no more bloodshed, but that the men who have not yet been tried for the murder as well as those who suborned the witnesses and the jury shall be vigorously prosecuted before the courts of the city. The jurors in the Hennessy case are also reaping a bitter harvest. Walter Livandais, a clerk in the Southern Pacific railway, was discharged, as his fellow clerks refused to work with him. J. M. Seligman, the foreman, was partner with his brother in the. jewelry business. The brother has dissolved the partnership. The clubs and exchanges of which he was a member expelled him and he sought to leave town Saturday afternoon.. A mob captured him on the road to the depot, but he was rescued by the police and has been concealed by his friends. [The story of the murder is one of the most sensational chapters of crime ever recorded in this country. Chief of Police David C. Hennessy had long believed that a- conspiracy existed among a band of Italian or Sicilian criminals to take his life. He had run down several crimes perpetrated by the Mafia and he believed that organization, which usually confines its acts of sanguinary vengeance to its own countrymen, had resolved on his death. He went about armed and was ever on the alért. Yet death came to him unprepared. Near midnight on Octob&¥ 15 he was returning to his Home on Girod street on foot. He had got near his own house and was walking on Girod street, between Rampart and Basin streets, when a volley was suddenly poured on him from the other side of the street. Looking .quickly over, he saw by the smoke that the assassins were under the shelter of an old frame building, and he commenced to blaze away at them with his revolver. He could not take aim and his fire' was naturally ineffective, although there is reason to believe that he hit at least one of the murderous gang. He was simply riddled with bullets, slugs and buckshot. He sought refuge in a neighboring house, from which he was later taken away in an ambulance, He had six wounds; many of them big, jagged punctures of the ‘abdomen, and he died next morning. e New Orleans was in a Wild ferment next morning, and fierce threats of violence were uttered against all' Italiags. Lynching was openly advocated and arrests were indiscriminately made. Nearly fifty Italians were placed behind the bars, of whom nineteen were indicted. Owing to the presence of a stenographer in the grand jnry room a motion by defendants’ counsel to quash the indictment was granted, but later the same men were indicted again. The city contributed =§sooo for 'the prosecution and public feeling continued to be excited. Mayor Shakespeare was accused of losing his headgand acting from panic and the: Italian consul did his best to show that the .whole prosecution was the result of unjustifiable race prejudice. The indictments were as follows: One for murder and two for shooting with intent to kill while lying in wait, against Peter Natali, Antonio Scaffidi, Antonio Bagnetto, Manuel Politz, Antonio Marchesi, Pietro Monastero, Bastiano Incor_dona, Salvador Sunzeri, Loretto Comitg, ‘Charles Trachina and Charles Poitza, accessories before the fact; J. P. Macheca, James Caruso, Charles Matranga, Rocco Geruic, Charles Patorno, Frank Romero, John Caruso and Asper Marchesi as accessories. ~ The case against the alleged conspirators was called for trial February 16, when it was announced that a severance would be taken and that only nine of the nineteen accused would be arraigned at that time. These nine are:s Charles Matranga, the reputed | chief of the Mafia in New Orleans; Pietro Monastero, the shoemaker who occupied the hut in w_hlcq the- assassins lay previous to shooting; Joseph P. olacheca, the wealthy fruit Importer, who hired the building for Monasterio; Asperi Marchesi, a 14-year-old boy who whistled the signal of° the victim’s approach; - his father, " Antonio Marchesi, Antonio Scaffedi, Antonio Bagnetto, Manuel Politz and Bestiano Incardona, who are supposed to have been among the actual perpetrators of the shooting. The roll of witnesses for the state fncluded .ninety-one names and that for the defense 228 names. Nedarly a fortnight was occupied in examining jurors. When the trial began the impression was general that Manuel Politz had been persuaded to become state's evidence, but if such was the case the plan of the prosecution was upset in'a most substantial fashion, for before the time came for placing him upon the stand = he became & raving maniac. The trial throughout abounded in sensational incidents. The multiplicity of the witnesses for the defense cast such a cloud upon the case for the prosecution (which necessarily rested upon circumstantial evidence) that when -the jury retired at 7:30 o’clock Thursday evening, afver listening to the summing up by counsel and the charge by the judge, it was toen- | ter upon a hopeless dispute. This coutinued until 8 o’cloek Friday morning, when the-jurors ~sought to catch a little sleep. | The debate was ;g?#m?d at :q;n% :&hewe ~opened at 9 no ugreement had been redvhed.

} THEY WANT REDRESS. - "!‘ho_ Italian Government Will Demand ) Reparation for the Work of the New | Orleans Mob—Secretary Blaine Rebukes ’ the Rioters in 'a .D_lspatch to Gov. | Nicholls—lndignation Meetings in Chioago and Other Cities, S WasHINGTON, March 16.—The New Orleans mob has got the United States into a grave international scrape. There is no doubt about it. Such of the . victims of the mob as were not natiuralized citizens were entitled to the !protecti‘on due to all subjects of for- ‘ eign governments. The failure of ‘the | state authorities of Louisiana to give i them * protection falls upon the federal | government, because no foreign nation | can deal with a single state. The fact that six of ‘the accused Sicilians had been acquitted and the other: three given a verdict of .mistrial emphasizes in international-law the outrageous nature of the‘mtb’s work. . " Money damiages will probably be demanded and other reparation be asked. Baron Fava, the Italian minister, has been in Washington long enough to understand perfectly well the limitations of federal and state authority and to know personally the entire responsibility is on the state of Lgaisiana, but -he r can not make any demand on it, and officially he must seek reparation only from the United States. Secretary ' Blaine has sent the following telegram ' to Gov. Nicholls at New Orleans: -

“DEPARTMENT OF STATE, March 15.—His Excellency, Francis T. Nicholls, Governor of Louisiana, New Orleans: It has been represented to the presideént by the minister of Italy accredited to this government that among the victims of the[ deplorable massa.cre' which took place in the city of New Orleans yesterday wera three or more subjects ol the king ¢ llaly. Our treaty with that friendly government (which under the constitution is the supreme law of the land) guarantees to the Italian subjects domiciled in the United States ‘the most constant protec tion and security for their persons and prop: erty,’ making them. amenable on the same basis ‘as our own citizens to the laws of the United States and of the several states 1o their due and orderly administration. ‘‘The president deeply regrets that the citi: zens of New Orleans should have so dis paraged the purity and adequacy of their own judicial tribunals as to transfer to the passion: ate judgment of a mob a question that should have been adjudged dispassionately and by settled rules of law. The government of the United States must give to the subjects of friendly powers-that security which it demands for our own citizens when temporarily unde: the jurisdiction of another power. 5 ‘lt is the hope of the president that you will cooperatg with him in maintaining .the obligations of the United States toward Italian sub: jects who may be within the perils of the present excitement., that further bloedshed and violence may.be prevented and:that all of fenders against the law may be promptly brought to justice.- _ JAMES G. BLAINE.”

The telegram which Secretary Blaine sent to Gov. Nicholls was the result of a conference between the president and the secretary about 1 o’clock Sunday afternoon, Baron Fava, the Italian minister, having previously called on Secretary Blaine and earnestly protested against the killing of his countrymen, demanding at the same time protection of all other Italians in New Orleans..

Among congressmen ‘and diplomats who have given such matters some at'tention it is not thought the massacre of the several Italian subjects can become a matter for international consid-. eration or complication between Italy and the United States. The men, it is said, were not murdered as Italians, and the only reparation that can be . obtained lis possibly damages by the wives or relatives of the dead Itajian, subjects from the municipal government of New Orleans for not protecting the persons of individuals—aliens—who at the time they met their death were temporarily, at least, in the custody of the municipal authorities of that city. s : RoME, March 16.—The Italian government has instructed Baron de Fava, the Italian minister at Washington, to present a vehement . protest to the United States government against. the action of the mob in New Orleans and the United States has promised to malke an investigation. Baron de Fava in a dispatch to Marquis di Rudini, the Italian premier and foreign. minister, says that he has protested against the inaction of the local officials in New Orleans, and that Mr. Blaine, the American secretary of state, expressed horror at the acts of the New Orleans mob, promising that he would = immediately make the orders of the president in the matter, and that the decision would be communicated to the Italian government. The Riforma denounces the: New Orleans lynching as an outrage and says it is a disgrace to the United States that such acts are possible within its borders. ;

CHICAGO, March 16.—A mass meeting of Italian citizens was held at TUhlich’s hall Sunday afternoon. : About 1,500 men were present, most of whom claim American citizenship. There were many vehement speeches made denouncing the affair at New Orleans and demanding reparation, though = just what reparation was wanted was not stated. The meeting adopted a resolution appealing to the Italian government, as well as that of the United States, to right what they believe to be a great wrong %o their fellow countrymen. A - committee of seven was ~ apppointed to act with similar = committees from other cities in securing reparation. Dispatches were sent to Secretary Blaine invoking the aid of the department of state, and to the Italian consul and the editor of the Italian paper in New Orleans, calling upon them to do all in their power. : : Dispatches from New 'York, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Milwaukee and other cities announce the holding of similar meetings by Italians.

THE ENGLISH STORM.

A Total of 115 Lives Said to. Have Been ' Lost During the Recent Blizzard.

LoNxpoN, March 16.—The blizzard was general in southern England and northern France. Somerset, Devon and Cornwall were visited with particular severity. From many places in the two latter counties there has been no «communication of any kind since last Monday, and how the people fare there is only a matter of conjecture. The record so far shows that 115 lives have been lost and thousands of cattle and sheep. The railway lines are still blocked. : ’ Died on the Scaffold. = DECATUR, 111., March 16.—William H. Crawford was executed in the corridor of the Macon county jail Saturday in the presence of 200 witnesses. The crime for which Crawford paid the penalty with his life was the murder of Mrs. Col. Mathias on the night of August 26 last. Mrs. Mathias was an attractive woman, 238 years of age, and the mother of three little girls. Crawford had been forcing his attentions upon her, and it is supposed that, in a' fit of anger, because she would mot listen to his suit, he committed the deed, cutting her throat.
