ITALY'S SONS MEET
Tbs New Orleans Tragedy Dis
cussed i'm Mass Meeting.
FULL PREPARATION DEMANDED.
The Speeches We're Almost Terrifying in
Their Vehemence.

Agitators Tried to Create Trouble, but
Were Hustled from the Hall by the Po-
lice-A Meeting in Phi1adeIphia-Parker-
of Trade in Nebraska.
NEW York, March 21.-Five thousand
Italians crowded the big hall of Cooper
Union last night to denounce the lynch
ing of their brethren in New Orleans. As
many more were unable to gain admit
lance, and an overflow meeting was held
outside in drizzling rain.
Signor A. De Angelo presided at the in
door meeting, and on the platform were
seated about 200 prominent Italian mer-
chants and business men of the city.
The speeches were nearly all in the
italian tongue and were almost terrify-
ing in their vehemence. The sentiment
that the Italian race demanded satisfact-
ton for the killing of their countrymen
seemed to express the opinion of the
meeting and was vigorously applauded.
An air of suppressed excitement, how
ever, seemed to pervade those present,
and it needed but a word to change them
into demons. The committee in charge
realized this, and it must be said to their
credit that they took every precaution to
avoid trouble.
That there was danger from this
source was evidenced just as the meeting
was about to close. Several persons in
different parts of the hall arose and asked
to be allowed to speak. This request was
promptly refused by the chairman.
The agitators then appealed to their
fellows, asking them If they meant to re-
main inactive, and urging them to act
and avenge the wrong done in New Or
leans. The instant they began to talk in
this way those in charge sprang from the
platform into the aisles and urged the au-
dience to be quiet and orderly.
The Police Take q Hand.
Meanwhile the police had taken the
riot meters in hand and hustled them
from the hall. 1t was critical moment
and bloodshed would have followed had
not the committee and police acted so
promptly.
All the speakers were unanimous in
protesting in the name of the Italian col
ony of New York city against the massa-
ere of II of their countrymen at New Or
leans and were emphatic in the demand
that justice be melted out to those who
were guilty of the crime. Resolutions to
this effect were adopted and the meeting
dispersed.

LINGO FOUND GUILTY.

His Counsel win Move for n New Trial.
Sentence Deferred by the Judge-when
Lingo Was Taken to His Cell He Crouched
Down and Was Greatly Overcome.
Chalkley Leconey Jubilant.
CAMDEN, N. J., March 21.-Francis Lin
60 has been found guilty of numbering
Mrs. Miller. The verdict was brought in
by the jury last night. 1t caused consid-
cradle surprise, as the general impression
had obtained within the last few
days of the trial, and particularly since
Judge Westbrook had made his plea, that
the trial would end in a disagree
ment.
Despite furious rain storm a crowd
began to gather about the court house
soon after o'clock, it having been
whispered that q verdict was ready. The
doors were thrown open and there was a
wild scramble for seats. All eyes were
fixed on Lingo as he was brought in and
took seat opposite the empty jury
chairs. For the first time Sheriff West
took his seat Immediately alongside the
prisoner. This had an ominous look and
the whisper went around: They've con-
victed him"
Rendering the Verdict.
Judge Garrison mounted the bench and
warned the spectators that any person
expressing approval or disapproval of
the verdict would be committed to the
county Jail. A minute later the jury sol
EMMY filed in.
GLOW find you, gentlemen, guilty or not
guiltyF" the clerk asked
There was a silence as of death in the
crowded court room, aud everyone was
leaning forward to watch Joseph Bur-
rough, the foreman.
Guilty of murder in the first degree"
Tears Trickled Down the Negroes Cheeks.
A little shiver ran through Lingo's
burly frame. He made no motion, but
his lower lip quivered and two big tears
trickled down his cheeks. His wife, who
sat on a bench facing him, seemed not
to comprehend that the fatal words meant
the blotting out of her husbands life.
She showed no emotion. The great au-
diencs restrained itself, only n low muir
muir sweeping around the room.
Ex-Judge Westcott said he would move
for q new trial, pending which sentence
was deferred Closely guarded by the
sheriff and constables, Lingo, detected
and terror stricken, was led back to his
cell.
OrIs of the jurors said that but one bal
lot was taken after discussing the case for
an hour
ChaIkley Leconey Jubilant.
Chalkley Leconey and his friends are
jubilant. They look upon the verdict as
a confirmation of Leconey's innocence of
the murder Of his niece, as they have al
ways declared that Lingo killed Annie
Leconey as well as Mrs. Miller. Lingo's
counsel have hopes of securing a new
trial, but it is almost certain that the
verdict will stand.
The death watch was set on the pris-
oner as soon as he was taken to his cell.
He crouched down with his face in his
hands, greatly overcome.

LAWRENCE BARRETT DEAD.
The Well Known Tragedian Succumbs to
Heart Failure.


Heart Failure.
NEW YORK, March 21.-Lawrence Bar
rett, the actor, died last night at 1915
O'Clock at the Windsor Hotel. Death
was due to heart failure and was quite
sudden. His wife and his physician were
with him when he disd.
Mr.. Barrett's illness dates from We'd
nesday night, when he was compelled to
leave the theatre where he was engaged. It
was said at the time that he was merely
suffering from severe cold and would
be out in a few days. Even yesterday
the reports Of his condition were very
favorable. Late last evening, however,
his physician, DR.. Chambers, was sum-
moned. Heart failure, superinduced by
pneumonia, was the direct cause of the
great tragedian's death.
DR.. Chambers says pneumonia set in
Thursday morning. Mrs. Barrett, who
was in Boston, was sent for and arrived
Thursday evening. DIR. j. P. Oliver of
Boston, Mr.. Barrett's family physician,
was also summoned and came on at
once. A consultation was held and it
was decided that Mr.. Barrett's case was
serious, but that if no other complica-
lions appeared the sick man might pull
through. Between 5 and 10 o'clock last
night threre was a rapid change for the
worse, and at the latter hour Mr.. Barrett
was in semi-conscious condition. About
Is minutes before the end came Mr.. Bar
rett was entirely unconscious, and so he
remained until he died.
The funeral will probably take place in
Boston. Edwin Booth was deeply moved
when he received notice of Mr.. Barr ett's
daath

Gave Her the Fatal Pills.

The Unfortunate Young Woman Makes q
Horrible Confession to Her MOther-Ef-
forts to Have a Public Ceremony Post
poned-Ths Mothers Ahidayit Submit
ted to the District-Attorney for Action.
New York, March 21.-Quite a sen.
sation has been caused by bringing to
light the facts which caused the death Of
Helen Nelson Potts, a handsome and &C.
complished girl of 10, and a student at
the Comstock Finishing School for Young
Ladies' on West 10th street, this city, who
died on Sunday, Feb. 1 last, from an over
dose of morphine.
The mother of the girl, in the inter-
ests of justice, has made an affidavit to
the following:
The Unhappy Mothers Story.
"My.daughter, Helen Potts, who died
of morphine poisoning at the Comstock
School, has been the wife of Carl w. Har-
ris since Feb. 3, 1890. liked the young
man and his family, but refused long
engagement. A secret marriage follow
ed. I knew nothing of it until August,
when 1 was telegraphed for and went to
my sick child. / had no suspicion of the
nature of her illness for some days. Then
my brother-in-law assured me it was the
effect of sin. When gained courage to
enter my daughters room she saw by
my face that had been told, and said:
Mamma, bring me the Bible and with
her hands on that told me of the marriage.
Her husband had performed a criminal
operation upon her before this visit, and
assured her her troubles were all over.
They were not. A sharp instrument had
entered the perfectly formed little boys
head and killed it some time in the latter
part of June After l was told of the
marriage her husband wrote me an affec
tionate letter, and began to feel that
this youthful folly might well be for
given and wrote kindly to him."
The mother thens tell how her daughter
and Harris were married before an alder
man, and how her daughter pleaded with
Harris for a religious ceremony. He had
promised that it should be performed on
Feb. 8. The girl died on Feb. l from
opium and quinine pills made up by Har-
ris at a druggists.
Mrs. Potts then tells about meeting
Harris after her daughter died. She says:
''When DIR. Harris met me he told me it
was the druggists lawful mistake that
had caused her death, but refused her her
name in death as in life, and listened in
vain for any real grief at her untimely
end in his voice. asked him, as he could
not take his true position, not to come to
the funeral, but he came and was sent
away. / dread beyond expression to have
her name dragged through the papers,
yet how can believe she will rest in
peace defrauded Of life and name? If
could only believe in him, but cannot"
The affidavit of the heartbroken mother
has been submitted to the districts ttor-
ney for action. The father of young Har-
ris is said to be q clerk in Brooklyn es-
tablishment, and his mother prominent
in the temDerance movement there His
grandfather is DIR. McCready, of this city.

Parnell Says that Each Side Must Provide
Two Candidates.
DUBLIN, March 21.-Parnell stipulates,
before consenting to resign and to accept
Healy's defiance, that each side must pro
vide two candidates, one for each seat.
The Freeman's journal says it is ru-
a candidate in opposition to Mr.. Parnell at
the next election in the northern division
of Cork, which the latter now represents.
The Evening Telegraph says it would
be an indignity for Mr.. Parnell to reply
to so offensive letter as was that of Mr..
Healy, "If," says the paper, "Healy wants
fight, let him return and he will soon find
Mr. Parnell in Cork"
The Conservatives are preparing to con-
test both seats in Cork if the present
members should resign.

A Hitch Over the Distribution of Public
Documents.
WASHINGTON, March Cit is probable
that considerable trouble will result be-
tween ex.members of the 51st Congress
and their successors of the SD over the
distribution of the immense number of
public documents provided for by the
Congress just ended and which are yet to
be printed.
In years passed it has been the custom
Of the House, Just before the adjournment
Of Congress, to adopt a resolution al
lowing the members of that Congress to
control the distribution of public dOcu-
ments until the new Congress assembled
In the following December.
Such a resolution was not passed by
the recent Congress, and now the mem
bers Of the 62d are claiming that they
have q right to all documents printed af-
ter March 4, while the members of the
Dist contend that all documents author
lied by that Congress, no matter when
printed, belong to its members.
