E DrTOR GREAT WEST
In listening to the Governor reading
his message to the joint session of the
House and Senate, l particularly no.
ticed he said nothing in regard to the
sale OF the Capitol Lands in Kan
diyohi Co. Imagine my surprise in
looking over his printed message
which is now being circulated to the
people, a recommendation that they
be sold for $4,000, almost an exact
repetition of his message two years
ago.
l hope the Farmers Alliance men,
bers will look closely to it that those
lands are not sold till the capitol remo-
val questionis settled and the subject is
thoroughly discussed by Alliance men,
and others, and thoroughly under
stood.

that can and will guide us the right

now to mention anything about our
ex-secretary John Lathrop, but can
not help but think of him: was a
delegate from our Alliance, No. 429,
at the State Alliance meeting held in
St. Paul, July 10th. 1890, and our
secretary of our Alliance sent $40
by me OF the dues collected here to be
paid over to John Lathrop. He took
the money very cautiously put it into
his pocket and gave me his receipt for
the money; but [ thought at the time
that he must have set of good brains
if he could remember where he got
those $40 from, and have not seen
any account of that money yet, and l
do not think that we ever will. Well,
he is disposed of now, as Secretary of
the State Alliance. 1t does me good
to read your valuable paper and see
how you are giving it to them, and
may God speed you in your work.
At the last county Alliance meeting
the following officers were elected:

has purchased some elegant Priestly

ged and thus at the mercy of the sea.
| Many Christians are so heavily
weighed down with the cares of this
world. as TO be unable to make head
way toward their destination, for hav-
ing their heart where the treasure is,
they are without power to move heav-
onward.
Fourth, through sheer recklesness
and Indifference, the constant expo
sure to danger has made the average
mariner reckless. Drifting down the
sea of life, no settled principals, no
certain belief: drifting into habits,
showing by their very indifference and
recklesness that they do not know
Christ. Some are put to sleep by
worldliness and love of selfish ease.
Some become reckless because of f.
nancial, domestic or social troubles.
They steer in the dark and never
pray for light"
AS the preacher drew near the close
of his excellent and earnest discourse,
he said in a solemn manner:
Farther and farther away from the
church; farther from early Christian
influences; farther from God, farther
from heaven. And the worst is they
have their families on board and are
taking them along TO eternal destruc-
ton. Yet they seem to have no anxi-
ETY. for themselves or their families.
Oh. if there is an Indifferent soul
here today, why do you not make an
effort TO be saved? Look at the COM
pass of your own conscience, take your
bearings from the word of God, put
out the oar of faith and work for Christ
while it is day. Yousay, What shall
we do? 'Do?' Call on God for mercy,
signal your distress to God, for he
alone can help you.
The Publican did so. When he cried
Lord have mercy on me, Christ heard
him. When Peter cried out: Lord,
save or l perish, Jesus saved him.
Oh. that poor Judas had done the
same.
Oh! friends, let US look into our
selves to see whether, amidst all our
professions of religion, there is not
some bosom sin; some Indifference to
the work of Christ, with which we
daily trifle. so that it may not be true
of us as it was of him, that he went to
his own place, castaway for eternity,
but that we may safely land with
many souls on heavens shore!"

RELEASED FROM THE JAIL.
FIVE OF THE ACCUSED ITALIANS ARE
ADMITTED TO BAIL

This Disposes Of All of the Nineteen Men
Charged With the Murder of Chief
Hennessey-Elevcn Killed, Nine Acquit-
ted and Five Released on Bond.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM To THE DISPATCH,
NEW ORLEANS, March I.-The five
Italians confined in the parish prison
charged with the assassination of Chief of
Police Hennessey, and who escaped the fury
of the mob on March IA, were released to-
day on bonds. The prisoners are John
Caruso. Charles Pietzo, Charles Patorno,
Salvatore Sunzeri and Pietro Natali, the last
two Italian subjects. the others naturalized.
Natali was released on his own bond and the
others on 81 800 bonds, which were furnished
by fellow-citizenS of theirs here. The case
against the prisoners was known in the court
as the State against Piatro NatalI, who was
was shown upon the trial. however. that he had
nothing to do with it. and was not even In New
Orleans at the time the shooting occurred. No
objection was raised by the District Attorney
to the bonding and release of the prisoners. 1t
is doubtful If they are ever brought to trial, for
the evidence in the original trial, which would
probably be the same in the new one, showed
very little against the men released to-day.
SuDzeri and Natali were identified by one W.T.
ness as having been seen coming from the
scene of the murder with guns but this
Patorno and Caruso took supper with Ma
checa on the night of the murder of Fl ennessey,
and were with the Macheca party until late
that night. But there was no other evidence
against them. Pletzo was shown to have fur
niShed PolizZi with several guns, supposed to be
the guns used in the killing of Hennessey. but
the evidence did not trace them nor identity
them. Notwithstanding these facts the men
made a very narrow escape with their lives
when the mob broke into the parish prison.
Caruso and Patorno were fortunately confined
in a cell in the women's department.. The mob
never saw them. but Patorno went insane with
fear on hearing the shooting in the prison and
bowling of the mob. Natali, Sunzeri and Piet-
20 were in the yard with the other Italian pris-
oners who were slain. Pietzo secreted himself
in an clubhouse in the women's yard, where he
was undiscovered. Natal and Sunzeri, who is
a very large man, crept into a doghouse, COM
paratively small box and thus escaped the first
assault of the mob.
Sunzeri was finally dragged out and an at
tempt made to shoot him, but Deputy Sheriff
Casey placed himself in front of Sunzeri and
explained that he had not been given fair
trial, and that to kill him would be deliberate
murder. Natali WAS also dragged out, but was
spared. This disposes of all of the Is Italians
charged with the murder of Hennessey. Nine
were shot to death, two lynched, nine released
after verdict of not guilty, four on bond and
one on his own recogniZance. 1t IS thought
that this is the end of the case as far as the
murder trial is concerned; but the grand jury
is still investigating the alleged bribery of the
jury and the attack on the parish prison.

THE BATTING ORDER,
How the Local Baseball Players Will
Fall in Line.
THE DIXON AND MCCARTHY FIGHT
Boston's Little Colored Pugilist Wins the
Featherweigh Championship.
GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY

An official of the local club yesterday
gave an outline of the batting order of the
team when the latter commences the argu-
ment for the pennant. The official stated
that while the list may be changed little,
the following order is what has been agreed
upon: Carroll, Miller, Beckley. Bierbauer,
Browning, Mack, Hanlon, Reilly and the
pitcher. When Mack does not catch. the
player who takes his place behind the bat
will also take his place in the batting order
1t is claimed that the above order pro-
vides. as a general rule, a good man to COM
mence an inning. OF course, many people may
be somewhat surprised to find Carroll first and
Browning fifth. Manager Hanlon believes that
Carroll is one of the most reliable men on the
nine to reach first base, while Browning,
heavy hitter. is in place whore his liners will
do most good.
Before the championship season opens the
team will play a few games on the home
grounds against some prominent clubs. A
Western League club may be here. and also
one or two of the Eastern minor leagues.
Work on the local grounds is now going on
rapidly. Yesterday President O'Nei stated
that the park will be all in apple pie order for
the championship opening day, April p. The
fence is now entirely up. and the ground can
soon be put in trst-claSs condition.

When the news reached the city yesterday
afternoon of probable complication between
Italy and the United States as result of the
New Orleans lynching. there was great excite
ment in the Italian colony and the bulletin
boards were eagerly scanned. Among some of
the younger Italians there seemed to bc
strong war feeling, but the more conservative
deplored the possibility of a conflict between
the land of their paternity and the land Of their
adoption.
The prospect for war was the only subject of
discussion on the streets last night. and no one
seemed to be badly scared. 1t was generally
held that the United States had the men and
money TO make it very unpleasant for
a foreign invader. The size and eff
cheney of Italy's fleet was discussed in con-
nection with the probability or possibility of
a bombardment of our seaside cities. Consid-
cradle faith appeared to be put on in the plac-
ing of torpedoeS at the entrance to harbors,
and in the inventive genius and Lenterprlse of
the American people.
