In the Hennessy Jury Bribery
Investigation.
Indictments to Follow Against
Prominent Persons.

The Whole of the Unsavory Part If the
Case Exposed by the Grand Jury De-
tectiye O'MaIIey Indicted a. an Arcss-
sorry Mayor shnkespeare's Wife
Threatened by Italians.
NEW ORLEANS, March 90. The grand
jury held another long % .ioa Tuesday,
and from wines es examined it is eyi.
dent that the body Is getting INFO the
britery business. In fact, persons in
authority say, with an air Of mystery,
that there will lie some sensational de-
velopments before the end of the week
The sensation will doubtless be the III
dictment of a prominent person not here
tofore mentioned III connection with the
unsavory part of the case.
O'Maliey fndiote'.
Detective OMalley was indicted Mon
day fCr being an accessory before the
fact of the attempt to bribe jurors. Ne
Chrystal, his accomplice has told his
masters part in the transactions in
which the prisoner figured. Detective
Collins has told the secrets of OMalley's
Office, Another city detective kept con
slant watch on O'Malleys Office and re-
ported who entered, and OMalley's
doings have evidently been well shad-
owed Many of the witnesses OF the
last few days have been surprised 10
find themselves called, and protested
that they knew nothing until t got
into the jury room. Ihe system Of
espionage extended to the witns sses for
the state. Some of them were threat
ene1, and the state also learned of efforts
to spirit some away.
The state has the advantage of know
ing the relative importanceof witnesses,
while the defense mere y guessed at
their knowledge. The defense there
fore, wasted considerable time on wit
nesses the state could well afford 10
spare while the witnesses really want
ed were well cared for Anyhow the
methods Of the defense we we
known and thwarted at many STEPS, al
though the skill of O'Malley and his
henchmen proved eminently Successful
as far as the jurors We're concerned.
The state is now obtaining full knowl-
edge as to the latter as vel. aul the
grand jury will have an interesting
record before it finishes its work on the
Hennessy case, O'Malley has not yet
been brought back, although a capia3
has been issued, and it is not likely that
he will be really sought for until the
grand jury is through with the investi-
cation.

ANOTHER RAPID TRANSIT LINE
The Corporation Committee Holds Rather

The Corporation Committee Holds q Rather
Lively Session.
The Corporation Committee Of Councils
recommended an ordinance granting the
Suburban Rapid Transit Street Railway
rights and privileges over the following
streets: Beginning at the city line, where
the Birmingham and Brownsville Macad-
amized Turnpike road intersects with Arling-
ton avenue and Barkhammer street, along
the turnpike orthwardly to the intersection
of the turnpike with South Eighteenth
street and Josephine street, along South
Eighteenth street to its intersection with
Jane street, returning along South Eigh-
teenth street to the intersection with the
Brownsville road, thence along the Browns
Vile road to the place of starting.
An ordinance granting Phillips, Nimick
& Co. the right to lay a side track on the
south side of West Carson street, Thirty
third ward, to connect with the Pittsburg
and Lake Erie Railroad, raised little
breeze.
Mr.. Williams moved that the ordinance
be referred to q subcommittee of three for
Investigation.
Mr.. Paul was opposed to this, and wanted
the ordinance referred to Chief Bigelow.
His reasons were that the subcommittee
would be dilatory in its work and finally
pigeon hole the ordinance
Mr.. Finn thought the ordinance must be a
very unjust one il it would not bear an in
vestigation by subcommittee.
The matter was finally settled by re eierring
the ordinance to a subcommittee in con-
junction with Chief Bigelow.

LONDON, Jan. 24-Charles C. Leathers, s,
an e1-gambler of New York, who record is
not unknown in police circles, is iswell-known

lived for the last two years at the Hotel
Victoria here with very pretty young
wife.
LeathersGis fin. specimen Of the worst
type of the American. He carried re-
volver which he was fond of displaying in
the hotel smoking room, and his
favorite topic of conversation was relative
to men he had shot, cut open and otherwise
maltreated. ALL in all, he was so profane.
loud-mouthed and blatant that the manager
of the hotel has tried every means to get
him out of the hotel for more than q year.
As Leathers paid his bills, however, it was
impossible.
His wife on the other hand, was a quiet
and gentle little woman who was liked BY
everyone. 1t had been whispered about the
hotel for some time that Leathers abused his
wife, and few days ago q great many
guests had ocular demonstration of this
fact. Mrs. Leathers attended the theater
one evening with Loie Fuller, the American
actress, and her mother, who also lives at
the Hotel Victoria, and when they returned
her husband met them in the corridor and
pulled his wife's ears and slapped her face,
continuing the assault in the elevator and
in their own apartments. She finally took
refuge in Mrs. Fuller's rooms, and the next
day brought suit for separation against her
husband.
Thursday evening she attended the Strand
Theater with Mrs. and Miss Fuller and an
American gentleman, who was friend Of
the three. In the middle of the second act
Leathers walked into their box, with
drawn revolver, and ordered the gentleman
out of the box on the pain of instant death.
There was great commotion in the audience,
of course, and those who came out into the
lobby to see the finish saw the gentleman
take the rufian's revolver away, and obtain
q most humble and sbject apology at its
point, he even making excuse that be only
came into the box to shoot his wife and had
no intention of doing anyone else any dam
age. The interest of the scene was accent
uated By the circumstances that Bexs4ers is
more than six feet tall and a man of power
full physique and ferocious countenance.

LONDON, Jan. 24-It is stated that the
court intrigues at Rome against Signor
Crispi, which have been going on for manv
years, have now reached crisis, which will
require supreme effort by the italian Pre-
mier to retain his position. Queen Mar
garet has never loved Signor Crispi, and for
his wife she has long nourished profound
aversion. An incident which is supposed
to have precipitated the crisis, occurred at
the last ball given by Lord DufIerin at the
British Embassy. The ball was attended by
the King and Queen, and the latter sat a
greater part of the evening upon a gorgeous
chair.
The royal couple left the ballroom and
Immediately afterward Nine. Crispi seated
herself in the chair, aped the ways of roy
atty and generally behaved in a manner so
outrageous that Queen Victoria's s cousin, the
old Duke of Cambridge, left the room in a
great rage, and it is believed told Queen
Margaret all about it. The next day the
Queen chose to regard the incident rs a
personal insult to herself, and wants TO have
an order issued ostraciziLg Nine. Crispi
from the royal circle. But Signor Crispi is
not the man to desert his wife, and he will
doubtless weather the storm.

ST.. PETERSBURG, Jan. 24-Terrifc
snow-storms have prevailed throughout the
southeastern portion of Russia. Deep drifts
have been formed in many localities and as
a result whole villages and numbers of
of isolated houses have been almost buried
in snow. The railroad tracks are entirely
useless, and the only means of communica-
tion between the villages and towns are
sleighs.
Numbers of people are already known to
have been frozen to death, and it is feared
that, as the snow disappears. there will be
further loss of life revealed. The city of
Charkow, the capital of the Government of
Kharkow, is SO completely isolated by the
snow that the only way of communicating
with its inhabitants is by telegraph. Char
kow is q city of about 200 900 inhabitants,
and it is feared that should its complete iso-
lation continue for any length of time there
will be terrible suffering owing to the
scarcity of provisions.
