renee OF the day, and the action to DO taken
in the future. 1t was decided that there

A PRIOR CRUSADE.
To-day's troubles recall "reminiscences of
| o prior crusade against the Siclians. In
| 1856 there was Siciltan political club in
/ existence here, and 1t attempted TO
interfere with the politics of the
day. In the contest between democrats
and native Americans, known as the know
nothing party, the Sicilans were suddenly
| taught a severe lesson, and very soon be-
came apprised of the fact that the, native
American party would not tolerate their
interference. Foreigners had at that time
organized downtown and attempted to
control that section Of the city. Be
cause OF their numerical strength
they prided themselves that they would
be successful, but they soon found
themselves uudeceived There were fre-
quent rows between the two parties, and
| one night during an election the Sicilians
| attempted TO take possession OF the polls A
| riot followed, and ten or fifteen of them
! were either shot or thrown into the river
| The event had wholesome effect; it kept
| them quiet until the last few years.
Immense crowds rushed from all direc-
| tions to the neighborhood of the tragedy,
while the streets in front of the newspaper
| offices were blocked with people anxious to
see the latest bulletins. There was intense
suppressed excitement, but from one end Of
| the city to the other the action OF the citi-
zens was aDplauded.
| O'MALLEY RUNS AWAY.
O'Malley, the detective who would have
shared the fate of the assassins, if he had
besn caught, has disappeared. and is not OK
| pected to return, and the members of the
| jury are in hiding. The atmosphere has
been considerably purged, and though there
is big crowd on Canal street tonight, the
| trouble seems all over. The Italian consul
declined to say tonight what action, if any,
| he will take. The prison was surrounded
until dark by a motley multitude, but the
police found no difficulty in maintaining
| good order. The bodies Of some Of the slain
were removed this evening.
| Caruso was married. but leaves no chill
| dren. Romero has wife and children and
Macheca a wife and family. Comitez leaves
q wife.
The stock exchange met to-day and
discussed the action of Foreman
| Seligman OF the Hennessy jury.
As result of the discussion Seligman
was expelled, the following resolution being
unanimously adopted:
| WHEREAS. j. NJ. Sellgman, visiting member
| or this exchange, has, by his action as juror
| In the Hennessy case, evidently contributed tc
| defy Justice, ignore the laws and scandelize the
community, be it
| ResolUed, That he be hereby expelled from
this exchange. and that his dues for the year bt
| returned to him.
PR BRrNsMEAD, Secretary.
Seligman has been expelled from the
Young Mems Gymnastic Club.
