A BLOODY VENDETTA.
Another Italian Murdered in New
Orleans and His Body Burned.

Another Italian Murdered i'm New
Orleans aud His Body Burned.
NEW ORLEANS. Feb. GA horrible
murder was brought to light to-day by
the finding of the half burned body of
John Mattein, an Italian. in the loft OF
his residence in this city. The theory
of the police is that Mattein was
Drained by his wife on Sunday night
while asleep, and that she used hand
axe, as bloody axe was found
on the premises. Blood stains covered
the bed and floor. Mrs. Mattein, when
asked OH Monday where her husband
was, replied that he had gone to the
country to play music. The woman has
five children. Evidently becoming
alarmed on Monday, she sent three of
them to nelghbors and disappeared with
the other two. The police also think that
Battein was the victim of deadly ven
delta, and that his murder Is the sequel
of the killing of the Sicilian, Vincenzo
Ottumva, whose body was found in
swamp. Anthony Dema and Anthony
Corso were arrested for that deed on
the confession of Mary Dema, bnt they
were discharged by the. recorder for
want of evidence, the only witness,
the woman Dema, having disappeared
before the trial, Mattein took conSidera
BILE Interest in the Ottumva case. there
by displeasing his fellow cOuntrymen,
and he was doomed. There is no doubt
that the woman was ins6gated to COM
nit the Ilurder on Sunday night.

The Woman scarcely COmpre-

The woman who has by her action of
last evening brought to so terrible eli
max her disgraceful career is not ill
looking SO far as regularity of feature is
concerned; yet the lines of vice are
plainly visible upon face which may
at some period in the woman'S history
have been all extremely comely one.
She is now sharp-featured, even to
angularity. and has prematurely aged
appearance. The use of. morphine, is
without doubt responsible for the blood
shot eyes and nervous demeanor of the
abandoned creature. When asked o
question which at first she failed to
catch, she would smile, and lean for
ward inquiringly, and her whole de-
meanor is such as to induce the belief
that she hardly comprehends the enOr-
nifty of her crime. or the serious posi-
ton in which she is placed.
Attorney Dick Warner, who had come
to the station, repeatedly cautioned the
woman not to say too much to reporters,
but as soon as he stepped back, she was
ready to proceed, and apparently looks
to the press for support in this, her dire
extremity. just as the reporter was

the woman if there was anything he
could do for her. He received a small

which the grand jury had found against

OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. PA report is

ment contains the following: 1t is a
well-known fact that in addition to the
disadvantages under which the terri
tory of Dakota is placed on account OF
the frequent and fatal billiards which
visit it during the winter seasons, and
the cyclones to which it is subjected in
summer, the absence of fair supply
of wood, fer purposes of fuel, forms a
serious drawback to its successful set
tlement. For some years past settlers
j in that territory have been accustomed
to supplement their inadequate fuel
supply by systematic stealing from
the public lands on the Cana
dian side of the boundary, and
to such proportions had this custom
grown that it was found necessary dur
ing the past year to ncert measures to
put a stop to it. Accordingly, an ar
rangement was brought to a conclusion
in September last between the depart
ment of customs, the department OF the
interior and the Northwest mounted
police, uDder which a detachment of
police was detailed for service along
the boundary between Manitoba and
Dakota in the locality lying between
ranges and 9 inclusive, west of the
first meridian. A commission of the
mounted police visited the district i'll
November last, and has reported to the
comptroller that the cooperation of the
force had not been demanded too soon.

settlers had been enOrfDilS.-in addition
to which there was extensive smuggling

then quite a number of arrests have
been made of timber thieves and SNUG

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-The inquiry into
fse death of Clarke, the druggist, who
sg IS so mysteriously murdered at his
drug store, Hermitage avenue and Har-
rison street, Thursday night, COM
menced at the county hospital this
morning. Before the adjournment at

tending to show that Clarke was killed
by man while he was alone in the
store, and that the motive for the m ur-
tier,Mas robtlery.,. The. third. however,
gave evidence supporting the theory that
there was. a woman in the case. Mrs.
ESlelle Savage, the soprano singer who
now claims TO have been the mysterious
woman seen BY Cawlin and the Levin
bows standing in front OF Clarke's store
on the night the druggist was murdered,
was at the inquest this morning, ready
to give her testimony. This lady says
that She was waiting for a car at that
time. She was dressed exactly as Cow
lin had described, wearing fiat fur
cap, plush sacque and muff. She is in
general appearance and stature a good
deal like Mrs. Smith, and Cowlin
smight easily have mistaken her, he
saws, for that lady. The general inn
preston seems to be that her testimony
will upset the case against the Smiths.

garding the letter published in an anti
Prohibition paper by the latter, i'll
which the persons who introduced the
option measures were characterized as
knayes. Fritz was somewhat taken
a-back for a moment. but explained
that the letter was written in German

the editor who printed it. He acKnowl-
edged though that he used strong Ian
guage, being greatly eXasperated by the
number of temperance bills presented.
The senate passed bills exempting

property necessarily used in operating
any railroad in the state from taxation
for any except local purposes; trans
ferring the duties of state pension agent

BISMARCK, Dak., Feb. 27.-Consider-

A message was Immediately sent to

the two Democrats present, left
the field and got under cover
before gun had been fired. The
vote was fourteen to four, and Presi-
dent Stilwell announced that the action
of the house had been concurred in.
Those voting in the negatives were Pat
ten, Soderberg, Van Osdell and Wool
hiser. 1t is understood, however, that
Gov. Church maintains that the Ian
guage of the organic act requires two
thirds of the entire membership, which
would be sixteen votes, to pass meas
ure over the executive veto. Senator
Hughes, eX-attorney general, SAYS he
also is inclined TO this opinion, believ-
ing that il the question is ever tested in
the supreme court it will so hold.
Washabaugh maintains contrary Opin-
ion, and supports it with the rules of
congress, which says only twO-thirds of
the members present is necessary. The
language of Dakota'S organic act and
the constitution of the United States on
this point is identical. Black Hills

right to be.

SUPERIOR, Wis, Feb. 27.-Great ex-
eitement prevails here over the at
tempted murder of Miss Maggie Well
ter. highly respected and popular
young lady. The particulars are as
follows: Miss Welter occupied room
in the Harbaugh block as dress-mak-
ing establishment. AT $3.50 this even
ing she left the room with the inten-
ton of going to supper. She had gotten
half way down the stairs leading to the
street, when masked man approached
her from the street and greeted her
with the remark: "Now l will have
revenge!'' He then struck at her with
a large dagger. She warded off the
blow, but he struck again, and this
time making deep cash in her shoul-
der.
The perpetrator fled and the. young.
lady was picked up soon after m an uil-
conscious condition and, cared for by
her parents. She partially recovered
her senses about S O'Clock, but was nn-
able to give the slightest. clue to her
assailant. She will recover. although
the wound is quite serious, and physi-
clans express the belief that insanity
will result. The would-be murderer
was observed by several persons after
the assault. but in the excitement he
made good his escape, although six de-
tectives and large force of special
police are on the lookout.
The affair is shrOuded in the deepest
mystery and the deed must necessarily
have been well planned, as passers by
at the time were numerous and the
street was well lighted. The young
lady apparently had several years
ago been involved in a love
affair which was recently revived,
and it is thought by many
that this might have some bearing on
the case. The sheriff stated at 1880
that he had clue which he thought
would result in the arrest of the perpe-
traitor. but would give no further in
formation. The greatest indignation is
expressed on all sides. If the would
be-assassin Is taken to-right it is liable
TO go hard with him. Suspicion has
rested upon a man who formerly
boarded with the Welter family, and
with whom Miss Welter had some dis
agreement heretofore. He has not been
a resi- ent of the city for some time, but
is known to have been here to-day, and
detectives are now on his track.

A MAN OF LOOSE HABITS.
Doherty Was Wild, bnt Hail
Fellow Well Met.

Mr.. Athertou, manager of the express
company by whom Doherty was en-
ployed, is out of the city, and inquiry at
the Office last night failed to elicit any
information regarding the complaint
which the woman alleges she made to
him. The story is generally discred-
tied. however, though several of the
employees were acquainted with the
fact that Doherty had long been unduly
intimate with her. At the express COM
pany's office where DOherty has
worked, he was spoken OF in the high

wild at times" said one of the cerkS,
sbut he was one of the best boys in the

The true name of the murderess was
stubbornly withheld last night. A call
at the house at 420 Wabasha street,
where she roomed, brought out the fact
that she was known there as Mrs.
Blatz, but this is not believed to be her
name. .She has always been rather

past month has been more reserved
than usual. Something has been prey

was rumored that she had publicly
threatened the life of Doherty, but the
lady of the house, and Lou Bean, a
companion in the house, both positively
denied having heard her at any time
threaten violence.
