The IraIInn RIoter. in Courr.

All the survivors Of yesterday bloody Italian
riot in James street were to-day marched into
the Tombs police court They were as dirty
and worthless a lot as has been in the dingy
court room for many months. Asoute BoeutO
the woman who killed Amelia VerallO, was the
most prominent prisoner. All the prisoners
testified at length, and told such conflicting
stories that 1t was difficult to make up com,
plant. The principal witness was Anronia
Verallo. the 7-year-old child Of the murdered
woman, who told the clearest story of the
tragedy. She saw Mrs. Bocuto fire two shots
at her mother. Mrs. Bocuto was committed to
the custody Of the Coroner.

THE declaration of the Rev. Howard
Henderson that the people of Cincin-
natl would walk across the mouth of the
bottomless pit on plank, in order to get at the
almighty dollar on the other side, is generally
taken as an impeachment of the Cincinnati
folk. But another view is possible of it. A
study of the money-making proclivities of peo-
pie in other cities makes it assume the nature
of an Endorsement Of the Cincinnatians, when
it is not alleged that they would plunge to the
bottom of that bottomless locality in order to
get hold of the dollars that have dropped in

MARTINS FERRY, O., December 5-Rev.
Dr. Frank s. De Hass is critically i'll at mis- resi-

his face, and has entirely ruined his stomach
He has not swallowed any food or stimulants
for nine days. and during this period nothing
has been administered by his physician except
a few opiates and several teaspoonfuls of lime
juice. He is able to move his body and arms
talks some and is perfectly rational. His power
of endurance is unprecedented.
DR.. De Hass was educated at Washington,
Pa, and has been prominent divine in the
Methodist Episcopal Church for As years. He
built the Metropolitan Church in Washington,
d. c., and has been pastor of the largest
churches in the United States-in New York,
Brooklyn, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Pittsburg.
He was American Consul to Palestine eight
years, under Grants two terms. during which
he made many important discoveries, and has
lectured all over the United States and written
several books on his travels and explorations in
the Bible lands. His books have had ian enor-
nous sale. and he has lately been negotiating
with large publishing house for another one.
Until afflicted with cancer he had always en-
joyed excellent health. He is u years old.

SYRACUSE December 5-What Is known as

have been buried there for years are being re-
moved. On Tuesday morning among the
bodies dislnterred was that Of p 2-year-old boy,
who. according to the inscription on the coffin.
was buried 3S years ago. The body was IN
elr sed in an iron casket. hermeticaily sealed,
and when the outer lid was removed, the feat
ures clothing and everything about the body
we're found to be in as perfect condition as
though buried to-day.
When the lid was removed, the body was
seen through thick plate glass. The coffin
was not unusually heavy, and 1t is not thought
that the remains are petrified, but simply pre-
served in the alright compartment. and that
they would orumble to dust If exposed to the
air. Upon the coffin plate was engraved: IF. A.

IRRIGATION NOT NECESSARY
To Make Some Portions Of The Arid West
Blossom aa the Rose.

Blossom aa the Rose.
WAsHINGToE, December 5--Secretary Rusk
has received report from the agricultural
experiment station in Southwest Kansas near
Garden City, announcing that it has been dem
onstrated that the arid lands Of the West can
be made productive without the aid of irriga-
tion. Experiments at the station named have
proved that the desert land. unirrigated, will
produce plentiful supplies of grasses and forage
plants, including sorghum, and it is believed
that wheat, corn and potatoes will grow equally
as well. Only two things were necessary to
accomplish these results:
First-The ground was pulyerized deeply to
make bed for holding the water that falls in
rain; and,
Second-The planted surface was covered
after the sowing of the first crop with matted
straw, to keep the loan from blowing away, and
with it the seed, Subsequent crops will re-
quire no straw, for the reason that the matted
roots Will keep the dry earth from being blown
away by the high winds.

A large Number of Cases.


IA large number of these cases are still
pending, and the instructions to the district
attorneys are still to push them to the end. 1t
is proper to say that in some cases the efforts
have been made, some of them very recently,
to prevent and cripple these prosecutions the
attempts to intimidate the marshal from
serving process and witnesses from giving their
testimony, such intimidation going to the ex-
tent of actual assassination. But it must not
be supposed that hostility to the United States
Courts and United States officers is confined to
election matters.
ION the contrary, the records of the Depart
ment of Justice shows that in some districts
the civil proceedings of these courts and
criminal prosecutions wholly disconnected
with the elective franchise cannot proceed be-
cause the lives of necessary witnesses are in
such danger that it would be simply inhuman
to enforce their attendance and the giving of
their testimony; while the evidence is abundant
that in certain localities no occupation is SO
dangerous as a faithful performance of duty by
United States Marshals.
"Of course such laWlessness cannot be toler-
ated. In every case the instructions to prose-
cute have been coupled with the assurance
that no means within the power Of this depart
ment will be spared to protect officers and witt
nesses in the discharge of their duties and TO
bring to punishment every man who illegally
attempts to thwart such prosecutions"
