MoReANls ROUGH RIDERS.
They Appropriated Sleigh cells In

from the January Century.


From the January Cen turn
The well-dlIef stores and gaudy shop win
dows 4 the Indiana and Ohio towns emed
to stimulate, in men accustomed TO i'm
poFerlsbed and unpretentious Dixie. the
propensity to appropriate beyond limit or
restraint. 4 had never before seen any
thing like this disposition to plumber. Our
perilous situation only seemed to render the
men more reckless. At the same time any
thing more Iudicrous than the manner in
which they indulged their predatory tastes
can scarcely be imagined. The weather
was intensely Farm-the hot July
sun burned che earth 20 pow
der, and ave were breathing super
heated dust7-yet ona man rode for three
days with seven pairs of skates slung about
his neck; another loaded himself with sleigh
bells. A large chatting dish, q medium
sized Dutch clock, a green glass decanter,
with goblets to match, a bag Of horn but
tons, a chandelier, and bird cage contain
ing three canaries. were some of the articles
saw borne off and jealousy fondled. The
officers usually waited reasonable period,
until the novelty had worn off, and then
had this rubbish thrown away. Baby shoes
and calico, however, we're the staple articles
of appropriation. A fellow would procure
bolt of calico, carry 1t carefully for day
or two, then cast it aside aud get another.

The sale Of seats for James O,Neill's en-
gagement indicates that 1t will be as o. Neill's
engagements always area SUCCESS. For
several years past-in fact, for many years
the names OF James O'Neill and Monte
CristoD have been almost synonymous. As
Edmond DantesnIMr. O'Neill has made a
reputation which places him in the front
rank in the dramatic world, and the an
nounce ment this season that he ito appear
in the new role of Robert Landry in the
famous dead Heart" has caused quite q
ripple In theatrical circles.
The Dead Heart" is not new play, al
though this is the first time it has been pre-
sented In Savannah. 1t is a play that has
for many years delighted audiences in every
part of the world; it is the play in which
Henry Irving first shone out as great his
trionic star. aud long since it has been
ranked with the best dramatic productions
of the century. It has ia zen its place along
With the immortal works of Bulwer I.vtton.
Tobin, Knowles and the other distinguished
playwrights whose fame is eclipsed only by
the great name of Shakespeare.
Last Monday night Mr.. O'Neill PLAYED
THE Dead Heart' in Atlanta, and the peo-
pie of that city were taken by storm. The
critics. always on the qtti viue for flaws and
faults, had no lords in which to describe
the performance but those of the highest
praise.
The play will be presented here tomorrow
fternoon and night.
A Charleston dispatch to the MORNING
News says that O'Neill turned people away
there last night. The receipts of the per-
formance were 81, 4S5, the largest ever
known for single dramatic performance
in Charleston.

Frank Romero alias Nine-Fingered
Frank-Gun-shot wound on head above
the forehead, face powder-burnt. All shot
lodged in the head and skull, inside is
completely shattered. This completed
the inquest in the yard.
The coroner, mis- jury and the members
OF the press next went upstairs and on
the gallery of the condemned cells an in
quest was held on the bodies there lying.
Antonla Scaffedi had a gun-shot wound
OF the brain. The ball entered above the
right eve.
Joseph P. Macheca had not single bull
let wound in him. His face was swollen
and his flesh was already assuming blush
tint.
The coroner examined the body and
stripped it of every stitch of clothing,
Although the dead mans coat and vest
and shirt showed bullet holes, his under
shirt was not perforated.
He then turned to Marchesi, who was
found to be still alive. The mans chin
and the fore muscles of the neck moved
slowly and laboriously. He was just as
good as dead, though, as evidenced by a
hole as large as silver quarter in his
head. Marchesi had several fingers shot
of. also, from his right hand.
"He will die in a few minutes" re-
marked the coroner.
Meanwhile Dr. LeMonnier sent Mr.. La
barre for his box of surgical instruments,
so as to perform a careful autopsy of Mar
checa.
Antonio Bagnetto was hanged on the
neutral ground. His body danged in the
air for about an hour and q half. 1t was
taken down by the police and placed in
the Fourth precinct station. Coroner
LeMortimer found that death was caused
by strangulation.
Manuel Politz was strung to lamp-post.
His body was also removed to the police
station. His corpse was riddled with bull
let's. Death resulted from eun-shot
wounds of the head and chest. There
were marks Of strangulation around bis
neck.
Marchesi died this evening at 7:S0
o'clock. The coroner's jury presented q
simple finding. They did not say who
shot the men. Matranza, Sunzeri, Natal,
the boy Marchesi, Pstorno, John Caruso
Pietzo and Incardona are the eight men
who escaped punishment. Caruso hid in
the yard. Natal concealed himself in the
wash house and was discovered, but bis
life was spared. Sunzeri and Pietzo hid in
a dog house and Incardona in vault
while the Jail officials spirited Matranza
and Patorno out of harms way.

in the deporable events of the morning.
Mr. Chafee said that inasnuch as all
were familiar with the events, 1T was not
necessary to dilate upon them. They knew
the facts and they knew the necessity OF
the situation. He then caused the follow
ing preamble and rsolution to be read by
the secretary:
Whereas. The deplorable administration OF
criminal justice in this city, and the frightful
extent TO which the bribery of iures has been
carried, renders it necessary for the citizens OF
New Orleans to vindicate outraged justice;
therefore, be il
Resolved, That while we deplore at all times
the resort to violence, we consider the action
taken by the citizens this morning to be proper
and justifable.
On motion of Mr. Lapeyre, seconded by
Mr.. Emmett, the preamble and resolution
were unanimously adopted. Resolutions
of similar purport were also adopted by
the board of trade (produce exchangel, the
Sugar exchange and the Stock exchange.
The Stock exchange met to-day and dis
cussed the action of Foreman Seligman of
the Hennessy jury. AS result of the
discussion Seligman was expelled. the fol-
lowing resolutions being unanimously
adopted:
Whereas. J. II. Seligman, a visiting member
of this exchange, has, by his action as juror
in the Hennessy case evidently contributed to
defy justice, ignore the laws and scsndalize the
community, therefore, be IL
Resolved, That he be hereby expelled from
this exchange, and that his dues for the year be
returned to him.
Seligman has been expelled from the
Young Mems Gymnasium club.

man carried. Then the eturnkey was over.
powered and the keys were. taken from
him.
By that time the excitement outside
was intense, none the less so when a
patrol wagon drove up with detachment
of policemen, who were driven away
under fire of mud and stones. When
the leaders inside the prison got posses
sion of the keys the inside gate was
promptly unlocked and the deputies in
the lobby rapidly got out of harms way.
The avengers pressed into the yard of the
white prisoners. The door of the first cell
was open and group of trembling pris-
oners stood inside. They were not the
men who were wanted and the crowd
very quietly, though with remarkable
coolness, burst into the yard. Peering
through the bars of the condemned cell
was a terror-stricken face which some one
mistook for Scaffeddi. A volley was fred
at the man and he dropped, but none of
the shot struck him and it was subse-
quently found that he was not one Of the
assassins.
Directed by Prisoners.
The inmates OF the Jail were ready TO
direct the way to where the Italians were.
"Go 10 the female department" some one
yelled, and thither the men with their
Winchesters ran. But the door was locked.
In a moment the key was produced. Then
the leader called for some one who knew
the right men and a volunteer responded
and the door was thrown open. The gall
lery was deserted, but an old woman,
speaking as fast she could, said the men
were upstairs. A party of seven or eight
quickly ascended the staircase, and, as
they reached the landing, the assassins
