SUING THE CONTRACTORS.
Il. Gottstein's Four Houses Not Con.
sidered Satisfactory.

X. Gottstein brought suit in the superior
court yesterday against the Seattle Lum-
Der and Commercial Company and NJ. w.
carp for S., S9i.6o, which he claims on =
building contract.
Gottstein says that on June /, 1883. he
entered into contract with defendants,
by which they agreed to construct four
double houses for him in Brawley's addi-
ton for $4,000. Of this amount plaintiff
claims to have paid 81, 400, and various
other sums for building materials, which
defendants were to have furnished,
amounting to s4,S9l60. He says that he
has been damaged to the extent of 500 by
the contractors failure to furnish iron
railing for the houses and that they were
not constructed according to contract, but
cost 5000 less than the contract called for,
hence his claims against the Seattle Lum-
Der and Commercial Company and M. w.
carp amount to S., 694.60.

New ORLEANS, March 16.-This city Is as
quiet as ever, there being not particle Of
excitement, and everybody Is attending to
business as usual.
Regarding the anonymous letter that he
received. Father Manoritta said he thought
it came from Provenzano. This Is emphati-
cally denied by Joseph Provenzano, who
says that he is not now nor never has been
member Of the Mania. BE goes on In an
extended statement and gives many interest
ing facts about the society. He says that he
and his brother were threatened several
times because they would not give $1,000 to
the Malta. He said that Jim Caruss came to
him several times to get the money, but that
he never gave him any encouragement. FL
nally he induced Caruso to break with the
Malta, give up his fruit stand and go to WORK
on the levee. Carus0 swore a solemn oath
that he would have nothing more to do with
the assassins. He went to work on the
levee. He told him fProvenzano many
things about the doings Of the society. and
named the leaders. Matranca was one of
them. He generally presided at the meet
ings. Rocco Graccl was another. Several Of
those named by Caruso worked for Proven
zano on the levee. They were all discharged
Among them were POlitz and Singeri. Ca
russo worked for Provenzano about two years
and then, in spite of his solemn oath he
went back to the society under the leader
ship of Matranca. Proyenzano thought that
the society held Caruso by intimidation.
The better element among the Italians, he
an end to, as they had been in dread of 1t
for years. The bad element, on the other
hand, were unanimous in their denunciation
OF the lynching.

President Hanno w. Gage spoke for the
Falmouth Club. He was pleased to repre-
sent his club on such an occasion. While
the Wheel Club was older In history than his
club, members of the Falmouth were older
in age. He spoke Of the progress in the
construction OF bicycles. Club life was not
so much discouraged as 1t used to be, aud he
said good word for the associations there
formed. 1t Is as necessary to know men So
clally as 1t Is In business. The advantages
which come from club life are numerous. and
the. disadvantages extremely few. No club
has a more enviable and deserved reputation
than the Wheel Club.
The remainder OF the songs on the pro-
gramme were omitted, owing to the lateness
of the hour, and adjournment was made to

BosroN. March 16-Steam tug Elsie, with
lighter In tow, sailed from here this morn
ing for Cuttyhunk to assist the United Slater
steamer Triana, before reported ashore.
The revenue cutters Dexter OF Newport
and Gallatin Of Boston arrived In New Bed
ford harbor at II o'clock this morning, the
Dexter having on board the officers and crew
OF the Trlana, wrecked on Cuttyhunk.
The Dexter left Newport at o'clock this
morning for Gay Head. TO render any assist
ance possible. She arrived at Cuttybunk at
S.15. She reported a heavy sea and strong
southwest wind. Waves were breaking
with terrible force over the Triana, and 1t
was apparent that she was doomed. The
bow has settled and the stern is lifted above
the water. IL the wind continues II Is ex-
pected that she will go to pieces.
The Dexter only sighted the Galena. She
was In fury OF waves, which were dashing
over her with such force that only the top
masts could be seen through the mist. The
Dexter's officers could not speak Of her con-
dlti0n or prospects, but say they are much
worse than they were yesterday. They think
all three vessels will be broken up.
On arrival the crew OF the Trlana were
sent TO Newport by rail.

Premier Di Rudlnl Says the United

DENVER, Col. March 16-J. Il. Moore.
ex-lieutenant of police Of New Orleans.
gives a statement of the causes leading to
the killing of Chief of Police Hennessy which
throws an entirely new light on the matter.
He says while the Malta may have had
something to do with the murder he has
strong reason to believe that they were
nothing more than hired assassins. he
ascrlbes the trouble to the old feud between
the detectives of the city which had its
foundation in the times of the famous
whiskey ring and sugar ring excitement, 20
years ago, when several men lost their lives
The same bitter fight. he says, was the
cause of the killing Of the elder Hennessy by
Guerin In 1872.
The murder of Chief Hennessy, he has no
doubt, was due 70 the old detective feud
which for years. was the main issue In local
politics. 1t was simply quarrel over the
spoils which were richer perhaps than ever
before.

the Lynchers.

CHICAGO, March 15.-L' Italia, the local
Italian paper, issued an extra edition today,
largely devoted to editorials denouncing the
perpetrators of the New Orleans affair, and
calling for retribution. Among other bitter
things 1t said: To-day the citizens of New
Orleans are consigned to infamy, eternal
infamy. by all the world. They will be COM
PEELED to give satisfaction for this assassina-
tion. The hideous crime that today stains
the city OF New Orleans will take more than
all the waters OF the Mississippi to wash
away. A curse upon the people of Louisi-
ana. May tney and their descendants suffer
the sorrow that today affiicts the widowed
wives, their sisters and their children. An
unworthy government. still more unworthy
municipality and an unworthy chief OF p0-
Ice and governor, all those who are mixed up
In this affair have covered with opprobrlum
the places where justice is supposed to Dc al
ministered."
The excitement and indignation aroused
by the Staying Of the New orleans suspects
the Italians of the city. A committee was
appointed last night to take charge OF the
matter. and expressing local sentiment hav Q
decided to call mass meeting at Battery ID.

the Italians by the Italians In charge OF the
local movement are. 1st-Money reparation
for the families of the victims; 2d-That the
ringleaders of the mop snail pc TAKEN TO
washington and tried for the crime. Its in
tention fs Is demand that that the state and
city offieiais under whose rule the affair oc-
Cured. be held responsible and be punished
with those who actually participated In the
killing.
