TWO MARKED MEN.
The La Malta Society Sworn to Slaughter
Informers.

InfOrmers.
Boston, August 1.-The Italian So
ciety La Malta has marked two men in
Boston for assassination. Efforts have
been made to carry out the edicts Of the
order. but the victims have thus far es-
capped. One is Policeman John RoSalt,
of Station /. who has been largely in
Strumental in bringing several Italian
criminals TO justice. He is an Italian
himself and knows all the secrets of his
his countrymen. The other victim
for whom the stilleto is ready
is Goachini Cocchiara, one of the
Italians who were arrested in connec-
tion with the murder of Millionaire Ed
ward Cunningham, of Milton. eight
months ago.
Policeman RoSattO incurred the ven
geancc of the Malta by tracking down an
Italian murderer named Donate, year
and half ago. Donate undertook to
rob house near Genoa, Italy, but was
discovered by woman in the house
She started after him, but was stopped
by several thruStS OF Suetto, which
eventually caused her death. Her hus-
band came to the rescue and he was
stabbed through the heart.
- Donate fled to this country and was
arrested by Capt. Cain and Policeman
RoSatto in this city, and sent back to
Italy. Donate was a member Of La
Malta. His associates looked upon RO-
satto in the light OF traitar. They
held that no matter what crime had
been pcrpetrated by Donate, RoSatto,
as a fellow countryman, should not
have brought him to justice.
Cocchiara is hated by the society be-
cause of the part which ne took in the
conviction of GiuSeppi de Lucca, the
South Boston Italian who shot and
killed Millionaire Cunningham while en-
gagged in poaching on his grounds. De
Lucca was accompanied at the time by
Cocchara and another Italian named
Severino Amato. Cocchiara was SuS-
pected by his companions Of having
turned traitor. and of having furnished
the information which led to the arrest
of DE l.ucp1

FORCE BILL FOLLY.
THE ELECTION CONSPIRACY WRECKlNG THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY
In The South Prominent Alabamians Deser. the
G. 0. P-Goyernors Of Many State,
Against lt-Aa Interesting COL
lection Of Interviews.

BIRMINGHAM, August 1.-The situa-
tion in Alabama politics is a complicated
one. The State is literally torn up on
the question of the Force bill, and little
else is talked Of in any part of the State.
Down in the Black Belt the feeling
against the Republican party is intense,
and the leaders of that party will not,
II is said, put forth single candidate.
SO great has the agitation become that
the present State campaign is almost
lost sight of.
EVEN REPUBICANS DISLIKE IT.
There is not white Republican in
the State who is not openly opposed TO
the passage Of the Force bill, and their
faith in the party is considerably shaken
since the agitation over this offensive
measure began. They are in perfect
accord with the Democrats, and claim
that Congress has 10 right to saddle
any such revolutionary measure on the
party. Colonel Z. &. Brown, a well
known Republican Of Winston county,
said he had been 4 Republican since be-
fore the war and had always voted the
straight ticket, but he had determined
there was no place FOR white man IN
the ranks Of party whose sole object
seemed to be the annihilation Of the
white man and the elevation Of the ne
gro. He said hereafter he would be a
Democrat whether the Lodge bill be-
came a law or not.
THIS Is ONLY \ SAMPLE
Of the feeling among the white Republi-
cans Of the State, who are leaving the
party in drOveS. All the speaking that
is being done in the present Gubcrna-
toral campaign is directed against the
Force bill, and it is very doubtful if the
Republicans can show Il corpOralS
guard in any city of the South on elec-
tion day next month. Had the party now
in power purpoSed 10 destroy any feel
ingS Of sympathy that it had in the
South it could not have chosen any bet
ter way to do do it than by bringing up
the present question of Federal clec-
tOns.

PIrTsBURG, August 1.-The Wage
Committee Of the American Flint Glass
Union met a similar committee of man
facturers of chimneys to-day. A minor
change over last year will be asked for,
but the principal object Of the confer
en,e is to make the first move toward
introducing the eight hour day in flint
glass houses. At present the chimney
workers are on two turns of five hours
each. and they want these reduced To
four. No decision has yet been reach
ed as the manufacturers say the eight
hour rate would prove ruinous to them
on account of the busy and dull seasons
being so pronounced.
