MOVING ON NEW ORLEANS.

Two Thousand Italian Leborers on the
Pennsylvania Railroad to Start for the
Crescent City-The Object of Their Visit
Secret-Demanding Justice.
The Italians working on the new railroad
near Moundsville were questioned yesterday
regarding the troubles between this and
their mother country. The talking on their
part was done by few of the English
speaking Italians, the others remaining
silent.
They are all we'll informed in regard to
the demands OF Italy, and seemed to antici-
pate the action of the United States. They
are keeping up close correspondence with
their officials, and say the Italians will
likely retaliate on Americans in Italy.
They asserted that some 1000 Italians
now working in body on the
Pennsylvania Railroad will soon leave
together for New Orleans, though for
what purpose they did not know. They de-
MED that they had been drilling. though
several reputable citizens of Moundsville
say they have seen them drilling repeatedly.
James Henrietta, proprietor of the Henri
eta House, with James Matthews, watched
them drill for over an hour last week. The
Italians admitted, however, that they were
all proficient in military tactics, also that
they had the greatest confidence in their
navy.
The leaders said there would be trouble
unless the people who killed their country
men in New Orleans were punished to the
fullest extent of the law. They said that as
this is free country Italians have as much
right here as any other nationality, ana that
their King should see that they are pro-
tected, and further that it the United State
had no jurisdiction, Italy would hold the
State of Louisiana responsible, and that
vengeance would be wreaked on the citizens
of New Orleans. They declare that nothing
would satisfy them or their Government but
the execution of the murderers.

PROSPECTS NOT VERY BRIGHT.
Ore Miners Are Not Preparing for Much
Business This Year.

Ore Miners Are Not Preparing for Much
Business This Year.
James F. Lewis, mining engineer from
the metropolis, was at the Duquesne last
night He is engaged in the manufacture
of mining equipment, and has extensive
connections in the ore country. "If the
operations of the miners" he said, "a-e to
be taken as an indication of the business
outlook in the iron trade, the prospects are
not good. The mines are not preparing for
extensive work, and there is beside large
amount of ore at the ports over from last
season. 1 cannot see any prospect of an i'm
provement, excepting such as may arise
from an impetus in shipbuilding. The
Italian difficulty is likely to cause such a
popular demand for a navy as will prevail
with the Government to construct navy
adequate to protect seaports against the
invasion of hostile powers. AS tits to-day,
any moderately-armed ship could stand off
one of our large ports and compel the pay
ment of tribute :? {? ? to an extent sufficient
to build dozen ships"
Mr.. Lewis was OH the Reception Commit
tee to the British iron and steel visitors last
year. He has since received letters from
many of them, and he says that they all
speak highly of the progress of this coun-
try, and freely express their surprise at
what they saw during their visit.

A party of 20 Italian laborers left for
Philadelphia last evening. Some of them
were rather intelligent, and could speak fair
English. When asked if they intended to

We earn our bread and butter mere, and are
better treated in America than in Italy. II

what he knew about the textbook bill. In
conversation with a GAZETTE man he
simply reiterated the substance of his pub
lished statements. 1t does not appear that
he has thrown much more light on the sub
ject than already existed. He is not in
clined TO think that there is any crooked
ness in the affair, believing that the omis-
sion in the bill was the result of mistake
on the part of somebody-the Lord only

was found dead last fall in her husbands
cotton patch, the murder having been COM
mitted in his absence from home. The
negro was arrested at the time on suspicion,
but afterwards released for want of evil

previous expectations, but rather under
general calculations. The quantity is now
improving in most centerS. \ feature of
the seasons hog movement is the large
shipments from Chicago-which, from
March l to May u were about 9O,Oo0'
against 395, 600 for corresponding period last
year or just double.
This increase in shipments from that
market to a large extent reflects the en-
largement in receipts in Eastern markets
although Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Cleve-
land, etc, have drawn upon Chicago more
or less for supplies, and to an extent under
stood to be in excess OF last year. The ar
rivals of hogs at Boston since March ! have
gained largely over last year, showing
total of 302, coo, against 20S, 600 last year.
AT New York the comparison Is less
marked, the total being 10000, against
81, 600 last year.
These two points show 1871 600 or nearly
ply, compared with corresponding period
last year. information concerning other
Eastern markets not at hand. 1t Is to be
observed that large proportion OF the
products of hogs received in the Eastern
market is consumed fresh, and the distri-
button in this manner this season Is under
stood to have been enlarged, probably 10 an
extent corresponding closely or fully with
the increase in supply. This is more fully
applicable to meats than to lard, the latter
product naturally finding enlargement of
production closely corresponding to any
gain in the slaughtering.
THE week now closed began with fairly
firm feeling in the provision trade at Chi
cago. probably strengthened somewhat by
sentiment, based on the packing exhibit.
Subsequently, however, the general
tendency was downward, though gradually,
and the week closes with decline of 62j5
cents on pork, 22119 cents per 100 pounds on
lard, and 80 cents on short rib sides for
July delivery, compared with week ago.
The domestic demand has been a little slack,
the distributing trade having previously
secured good supplies while values were
advancing, and are now curtalllng current
orders in the supply markets. The ex-
ports of product for the week were fairly
liberal, but somewhat short of correspond
ing period last year, for both meats and
lard :,

DENIsoN, TEX, May 19.-For some time

a web of convicting evidence about him.
Just when he went to arrest his man, how

was next heard of in Caddo. l. T. Deputy
United States Marshal BOnham was mott

arrested him and brought him to Denison

From March the total is ZOO, 900, against
