THE ITALIAN LYNCHING.
An Old Resident of New Orleans Talks
of Judge Mari.


CHICAGO, March ia Washington
special to the Tribune says:
"A former resident of New Orleans
gives u bit of history which confirms the
belief that the people of the Crescent City
are not in earnest in any condemnation
of the Italian lynching which they make,
This is due in part probably to the recol-
lection of the part Judge Mari, who made
the charge to the grand jury, has played
in proceedings similar to those which he
now denounces. The records of the De-
partment of Justice show that this same
Judge was himself the leader Of the White
League, which September IA, 1874, rose
against the recognized State government
and shot down forty or fifty members of
the state militia in the street. for which
oifense no one was ever brought to trial.
MIR Mari volunteered to lead the White
League, and did so. He arrested the agent
OF the Governor in the Western Union
Telegraph office, as he thought he had u
telegram to President Grant calling for
United States Intervention, and believing
be had intercepted the dispatches, he
ordered the cutting OF all wires leading
out of New Orleans in the direction of
Washington, As matter of fact the
momentous dispatch had been sent
through five minutes before Mr. Mari
made his appearance in the telegraph
office with his body guard of White
leaguers with fixed bayonets, and the
Western Union Company were soon COM
PEELED to permit the reconnection of the
wires.
Next morning President Grant pro-
claimed Mr.. Mari and his associates AS
rioters. and ordered their dispersal For
his services in this connection Mr.. Mari
was appointed by Governor Nichols, dur
ing his first term of office, Associate
| Justice OF the Supreme Court of Louisiana,
and he subsequently received Demo-
cratic nomination and election TO his
| present position AS one OF the judges of
| the Criminal Court of New Orleans

THE sHERIrr's REPORT.
The Facts in Connection with the Now
Orleans Iynching.

orleans Bynchtng.
NEW ORLEANS, March 10. - Sheriff
Villere has made complete report to the
judge of the Criminal District Court re-
garding the occurrences at the prison on
Saturday.
The report was recorded and Judge Mari
notified the grand jury that II was at their
disposal. Although the capital of the
State is at Baton Rouge, both Governor
Nichols and Attorney General Rogers
reside here.
These gentlemen were in consultation
regarding the reply Of his Excellency to
Secretary Blaine, whose letter to the Gov
ernor is regarded here as having been pre-
mature and unnecessarily severe in its de-
iiunciation of the action taken by the
citizens of New Orleans.
There Is no truth in the report that
Parkerson has been molested. He Is pur-
suing bis ordinary avocation and Is not
perturbed by the general rumors that he
is shortly to be arrested for his leadership
on last Saturday.
IL isgenerally thought now that o. NAL
ley, the detective, is concealed in the
house Of friend uptown and that he
going trains, probably fearing that he
would be caught before he could get be-
You'd the limits of the State.
Mr.. John G.. Wickliffe this morning re-
ceived the following letter from New
York:
Now that your treacherous mission is
done and your bulldog thirst for Italian
other bloodhounds Of Your stamp may
prepare yourselves for the penalty that
you will deserve, and don't forget you
will get IL sure enough"
The warning went TO the wastebasket.
The grand jury began their Investigate
in the parish prison affair this morning
District Attorney Luzenburg has called
upon Atiorney-.General Rogers TO act as
the. advisor of the grand jury in the
matter.
The following IS a copy of a letter adj
dressed by the District Attorney to the
Attorney yesterday:
NEW ORLEANS, March IS.
"Jfon. Waller ". Rogers Attorney General.
DEAR SIR: | respectfully call on you
as the Attorney. General to take charge
Of the investigation of the occurrence
in this city, on last Saturday to
attention Of the a grand md Jury. That hath BODY ,s
meets tomorrow Thursday morn
ing, and ] have instructed them
| that would call OH you as the Attorney
| General of the State to attend them at
| their session and aid them in this great
public matter. Very respectfully,
"A. ii. LUzENBERG,
District Attorney"
The shooting of Walters by Captain
| Dunn of counsel for the prosecution in the
| Hennessey case really had no reference
| to the assassination, although it is true
| that Walters was drunk last night, and
| was abusing the citizens who took part in
| the uprising.
There was an old feud between the men
| growing out of politics and the shooting
of Dunn's friend Baker by Walters four
years ago.

CENSUS AGENT SUSPENDED.
Prof smiley Accused of Discreditinl
the Fish Commission.


the Fish Commission.
Professor Charles w. Smiley, the special
agent VI the eleventh census in charge of
the division Of fish and fisheries, has been
temporarily relieved from duty, the work
Of his division stopped and the agents
under him recalled from the field pending
AN investigation into the charges which
have been preferred against him affecting
his official conduct
The charges are mainly that Professor
smiley has used his official position and
influence Ia discredlt aud einbarrass the
L. :. Fish Commission and that In con-
sequence of his having thus occupied a
large part Of his time and that OF his
sIeclal agents, the value of the work of
his division has been seriously impaired.
These charges are now under investiga-
tinn by the Census officials, who will soon
make "a report 10 superintendent Porter.
Professor Smiley, who was at one time
connected with the L. s. Fish Commission
aud is well and fayorably known here
among scientists, makes positive denial
OF the charges aud confidently expects a
complete yindication.

BAD FIELDING.
THE LOS ANGELES CLUB LOSES
UNDER THE WIRE.
Yesterdays Ball Game-The Local Club
Goes to Pieces at the Last Minute.
The Story in the Score.

The Los Angeles club had the game
won again yesterday, and then lost it
under the wire. 1t was the same old
story. The local nine went to pieces at
the last minute. Hulin is the only
member of the team who is putting up
the game he is capable OF doing, with
the possible exception OF DUNCAN. This
youngster plays tip-top ball every day,
and his playing is very much in con-
trast with the other members of the
team. 1t is about time that the Los
Angeles team were given little hard
practice every day. Their fielding has
lost them at least six games in the
past three weeks, and the public are
souring on the team ata2 10 gait. Then
again the diamond is rough-too rough
to ensure certain fielding. There is no
excuse for this. The management have
had ample time to get the grounds into
condition.
AT the end of the seventh Los Angeles
looked sure winners, the score being 8
to in their favor.
The Senators made three in their
eighth venture, owing to the stupid field
ing of the home team. In the ninth
they smashed out the necessary two
runs and the game was theirs, much to
the disgust of the admirers of the home
team.

A BIG HOLE.
The Effect of Meteorite in Apache
County, Arizona.

The Effect of Meteorite in Apache
County, Arizona.
The Journal Miner of Prescott, Ariz. :,
says its readers will remember a de-
scription given some time since of an
immense hole in the ground in Apache
county. A recent telegram from Flag
staff gives the following additional de-
tails concerning it: G. X. Gilbert and
Marcus Baker, the former chief geologst
of the United States geological survey,
with force of men, have returned from
Canon Diablo, where they were sent by
the government to take observations
and make map of the region where SO
much meteoric iron has recently
been found. They spent sixteen
days investigating the mammoth
hole in the ground, supposed to
have been made by meteor. This
hole is 625 feet deep and 21s miles in
circumference. The theory is that, from
the appearance of the walls and the fact
that they have found many pieces of
meteoric iron around the hole, the
meteor penetrated the earth 700 or 800
feet before it exploded, and this ac-
counts for the strange phenomena.
Three pieces of the meteor, weighing
300, 600 and $50 pounds respectively,
were found on the mesa within two
miles of the crater, and are now in the
Smithsonian institute. Besides these,
they found many pieces weighing from
2 ounces upward.
