gave a pocket piece of $40 in gold of
the issue of 1861. which he priced
highly and did not want TO part with.
He went 10 the -tradesman as soon as
he had given the valued coin.
and the latter went out and hunted
up the customer to whom he had given
it. BE had bought come cigars at q

HIDDEN At GETTYsBURG.-When
going into the battle of Gettysburg.
Lee Mason gave his friend. John Am
bros, . package to deliver to his wife
when the war was over, as he felt q
presentiment that he would not out
live the engagement. He was killed
in the battle. Ambros, too, gas shot
in the fierce fighting in the Devils
Den and while lying helpless among
the rocks bethought him of the pack
ct for his friends widow. Fearing
the Confsderstes might get it from
his body, he concealed it between the
rocks. Ambros was taken to the hos
pisal unconscious and lost leg there.
After the war he wandered ont West.
He is now living 10 Westmorelsnd
county, Pa. Recently he learned that
Mrs. Mason was living at McKeeys-
port, and that reminded him of the
packet. It had contained $500 in
gold and some paper. The gold was
intsct but the papers had rotted.
Sunday the property was turned over
to Mrs. Mason.

At Leisenring No. last night man named Mohan was shot dead and another seriously injured. Even at this hour it is difficult to secure positive information. owing to th e excite ment caused by the affair. The most re- liable accounts however, agree that two Hungarians. who had left the works, de- layed their visit and Supt. Gray became suspicious. He, in company with his as sistants and a score of deputies, visited House No. r., whore the workmen were enjoying themselves immensely. Their entrance caused a stampede among the strikers, and one of them, Q Hungarian, rushed out and arc used the on the scene. Mir.

MOB LAW Is UPHELD
Report of the New Orleans
 Grand Jury.
THE LYNCHlNG APPROVED
A voluminous Report Submitted, Re- fusing to Present Any Indict- ments Against the Now Or
 leans vigIlantes.

NEW ORLEANS, May 6.-After six weeks investigation the Grand Jury completed it's labors in the Hennessy case and the killing of Italians at the Parish Prison by presenting special report at { 80 o'clock this afternoon refusing to make any in dictments for the lynchng. The report is very voluminous, and concludes as fol. lows:
 The condition of affairs in this commu. nity as to a certain class of violators of the law, had req ched such stage that the law itself was well nigh powerless to deal with them so far reaching was their power and influence in the trial of criminal cases.
 Good citizens were profoundly impressed by the repeated and signal failures of jus tice.
 The arts of the perjurcr and briber
 seemed to dominate in tho courts, paralyz-
 ing and rendering powerless the ends of jus ice. Certainly this was a desperate
 situation. In the public meeting above re-
 ferred to-general aud spontaneous in character as truly indicating an uprising of the masses-we doubt if any power at the command of the au horities would have been sufficient 10 overcome it's intentions. Evidence IS before us from official sources
 that eleven persons were killed in the at tack on the Parish Prison. In the careful examination as to cit izenship of those men we find that eight of them were beyond question American citizens, and another
 had declared his intention in this court,
 which act carries with it the renuuciation of allegianc, to his native country. Itis q noteworthy fact in connection with the uprising that no injury whatever was doue to either person or property be- yond the one act which seemei to have been the object of the assemblage at the Parish Prison. We have referred to tho large number of persons participating in this demonstration, estimated by judges at
 from 6,0o0 to 5000. regarded as a spontane- l ous uprising of the paople. Tho magni tude Of this affair makes 1t difficult task
 to fix the guilt upon any number of the participants-in fact the act seemed to in | volve tho entire people of tho Parish and city of New Oeleans, 30 profuse is their | sympathy and extended their connection
 with the affair. In view of taese consid
 erati ions the thorough examination of the
 subject has failei to disclose the necessary facts to justify this Grand Jury in pre-
 senting indictments. Respectfully sub mitted
