patched on their upward journey by the
gardienne.
Some little time after they had started a
very stout and nervous old French gentle
man also essayed to climb by himself, I'M
known 10 the two in 'front.' The English
man and his companion reached the summit
in safety, eXulting in the glorious view, and
in due time began their tedious descent.
All went well, IS they say at sea, until thew
got half way down; there they encountered
an impossible obstacle in the shape of the
French gentleman. who was sitting on the
stairs, weeping bitterly. so overcome by dir
illness that he was quite unable to stir. He
chung tenaciously to the hand-rails on either
side, and sobbed prayers to the gardienne
and his mother.
The way was too narrow to allow the
English couple to pass him, and though
they could not speak French they used
their utmost elcquence to prevail upon the
obstacle to permit them to help him down.
But he seemingly had no confidence in them
and Historically declined to move. After
wasting three-quarters of an hour reiterat-
ing their friitleSs appeals and shouting for
assistance they also sat down on the stairs
to wait; but finding the stairs supremacy
uncomfortable, they presently returned TO
the lanterne to wait there.
Meantime the chaper0ne down below in
the cathedral was growing impatient at her
detention. An hour passed and she became
uneasy. The verger to whom she appealed
treasured her; it was impossible, he said,
that monsieur and mademoiselle could come
to harm. Two hours passed, and they had
not returned. The chaperOne went home in
huff, and the gardienne began to wonder
what was keeping the visitors so long in the
spire, but being patient woman she waited
another hour before she went up to see.
When she did she found the obstacle still in
his chosen place. firmly convinced of his ut
ter inability ever to leave it without falling
through the iron work and being dashed in
to ten thousand pieces on the stones below.
The gardienne was old and infirm, and
could not help herself, so she retraced her
steps, and pressing the two vergerS into her
service, sent them up to treat with the OBJ
stacle. The yergers were stalwart beings
in plumed cooked hats and uniforms Of the
utmost resplendence; their dazzling splen-
dor treasured the French gentleman, and lie
consented to be led down. The English
couple were then summoned from the Ian
terne and descended without urging objec-
tons. They had not altogether wasted
their time; they were engaged.

INDIGNATION MEETING.

The Murder of Chief of Polics Hennessy De-
-- nou-ced bv Nevada Italians.
. CARSON. Nov 26-The Italian element in
Nevada is considerably worked up over the
murder of Chief of Police Henuessy of New
Orleans, and have held several Indignation
meetings in regard to the matter: Prominent
Italians at the capital city denounce the
murderers, but feel strongly against the
New Orleans authorities. In an interview
with Joseph Galiano, prominent member
OF an italian society, he stated the following
as facts to an Associated Press reporter:
"Three cheers for good Italians. hang
bad ones. believe the Americans can not
down the Italians. Were it not fer Italians
America would never have been discovered
The Italiaa Ma fila is renegade from Italy.
He left there to save his life aud fed to
America Now he has commenced his
murderous display here. and | hope he
may hang. It is not the fault
of the prisoners that they now
have in New Orleans, but all lies on the
shoulders of these Italian Malta. These men
came from Italy 10 find work, and these
italian Malta have brought them to believe
they can it'd labor enly through them, and
they are obliged to join that society.
No doubt they knew nothing of what
they were to engage in, and in
that way these Italian Maftia have led
many innocent Italians to ruin who now re-
side in New Orleans, and are at-thelr beck
and call. | would not like to see disturb
ance between America and Italy on account
Of three or four renegades. Members of
another gang left Italy in;1S6S because of
continued trouble with the authorities, They
were blackiBalers, assassiGs and robbers.
FINALLY the authorities made it so warm
for them that they were obliged to immigrate.
The head of the gang went to New Orleans
and organized combination like the Chi
nese SIX Companies in San Francisco and
compelled each one of the laborefs to pay a
monthly tax to him. He imports Italian
laborers. and all have to pay him tribute
A part of the business OF these men is
to assaSsinate. steal and blackmaif at the
order of their chief lie holds $4,000 in re-
serve to meet any difficulty, and stops at
nothing in order to reach his ends. l was
