NEW York, MAY l0.-A stabbing ARRAY
which bears a strong resemblance TO the
work OF the Malta, occurred Friday night
in the Italian quarter in West Hoboken.
Almost the only things definitely known
about the case are the name OF the man
who was stabbed and the probability that
his wounds are dangerous. There is one
wound in his breast and another in his
neck, both made with a stiletto.
The victim is Louis Poretti. asilk weaver,
who boarded in Springst. He had given
up his employment and made arrange
ments to sail for Italy yesterday. On
Friday evening he was the center of a
group of excited Italians, who were talk
ing and gesticulating, at West and Hague
SITS. Suddenly two of the Italians seized
him, one on each side, aud n third plunged
a stIIetto into his breast and neck. Somo
ofthe others interiered and saved him
from being murdered outright,
Justice Schneuriger of Union Hill, who
was witness of the scene, sent for po-
licaman, but before the messenger could
find him, the assailants were released by
their companions and had disappeared,
running In the direction of Jersey City.
Policeman Vermorl followed them FOR Il
short distance but soon gave up the chase.
Poretti refuses to disclose the names of
his ASSISTANTS or make any complaint
against them. The West Hoboken police
hold that this relieves them from any re-
sponsibility in the matter, and they will
not make any effort to capture the MUIR
derous Italians. \ resident of the Italian
quarter advanced the theory that Poretti
was possessed of some secret that his as
sailants feared he might divulge when ne
reached Italy and they decided to kill
him

AN APPEAL TO IRELAND.

LONDON, May 11.-As result of a con-
ference held here today of the members OF
parliament forming the McCarthyite party
it was resolved to call a convention in Ire
land. The resolution adopted was to the
effect that, since Mr.. Parnell has re-
fused to comply with all sug-
gestions as to releasing the Paris
funds, his colleagues are forced to
believe that he is opposed to applying
these funds TO the relief OF the evicted
tenants. Therefore. in view of the ex-
treme urgency of the case, and of the APP
proach OF general election, it has been
resolved to make an appeal to Ireland in
behalf OF the evicted tenants. The reso-
luton adds:
We hereby summon a convention in every
Irish county to meet as a committee to select
candidates for all the seats whose present hold
ers have violated the party pledge.

MEMPHIS, May l0.-0ne of the most ex-

was attacked with tonsihtis a few days

THE FELLOW SERVANT LAW.
The First Case Under the New Law to be
Tried in San Antonio.

Special to The Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, July 31.-Mrs.
]. l.. Ponnel, a widow with children,
today filed suit against the San An
tonic and Arkansas Pass railway for
$4,000. Her husband was brake
man employed by the railroad, and
on Dec. 5, 1889, was crushed to death
while coupling cars in the yard here.
The petition alleges carelessness on
the part of the train men as the cause
of Ponnell's death. The suit is in
teresting from the fact that it
is the first one filed under
the new "fellow servant" act
passed by the legislature and but re-
Gently in effect. Formerly all Texas
courts were governed by the common
law rule that an employer or employ
ing corporation was not responsible
for damages on the death of a servant
when the death was caused by the
negligence or design Of fellow-ser-
want. AS the law now stands, when
an engineer is killed by the neglect of
a telegraph operator the family may
receive damages. There have been a
number of attacks against the law
and the POnnell case will be bitterly
fought.

THE WAGES OF SIN.
TOM CALDWELL HANGED AT HOUSTON
FOR A COwARDLY CRIME.
He Shed the First Blood in the Famous Fort
Bend County Vendetta Riddled
With Buckshot While Read
ing the Bible.

HOUSTON, Tex, July 31.-Tom Cald-
well was hanged here today in the
Jail for a murder committed three
years ago in Fort Bend county. He
went to the gallows with a firm stem
and met death without the slightest
emotion.
His case is a remarkable one. On
the night of Aug. /, 1888, Jim Sham
bin was seated by a table in the hall
way of his home reading the bible to
his family, when he was assissinated
by some one from without, who fired
a load of buckshot into him. Tackled
on to his gate was a warning to "all
ID Democrats" Caldwell was
tracked to the woods where he was
hiding.
In his pocket was a book nom which
a page had been torn out, correspond
ing to the piece tackled to the gate.
He came near being lynched,- and
prejudice ran so high he got a change
of venue to this county. His first trial
resulted in conviction, but on the
second the death penalty was as
sessed.
His case has twice been before the
state Court Of Appeals and the SUI
preme court. This killing was the
origin of the bloody vendetta in Fort
Bend county between the "Jay
Birds" and "Wood Peckers,'
and which eliminated in a
bloody battle in the streets OF
Richmond, in which the sheriff
an ex-sheriff and several others
were killed or wounded; also at least
three murders since. With one posi-
BILE exception the principals in those
tragic events are now dead. All these
events were published at the time in
all the papers in the United States
and will be recalled.

MURDERED AN OFFICER.

SAN ANTONIO, July 31.-A dispatch
from Maria, Preside county, says:
News has reached here that Mr.. l..
Deleon had been shot by members OF
the Mexican bandits harboring at
Mulato, Mex, opposite the town of
Pulvo in the Texas peninsula. Deleon
was a deputy sheriff of remarkable
courage, industry and activity. For
a year past he has been engaged in
running down cow thieves, murderers
and rustlers generally, and was re-
garded as one of the most valuable
men on the frontiers. His murder is
undoubtedly in revenge for the work
he has done. A number of Mexican
ranchmen have crossed into Mexico
and are pursuing the gang, swearing
to avenge Deleon's death. The great
est excitement prevails.

day over the killing Of Isaac Mayors
a prominent sheepman, by John O.
Adams, also wealthy stockman
Adams, it is said, was watering stock
at the public well in Sonora, when
Mayors came up for the third time
and frightened them away. This
Adams requested him not to do. May.
ers, it is alleged, began to abuse him
at the same time drawing a knife with
which he made at him, whereupon
Adams fired, the shot taking effect in
the stomach causing death in few
minutes. Mayors, in his dying
statement, said that he was
shot without provocation or means
of defense. There was no one present
to witness the difficulty. Both parties
are men of three score and five years
and have large number of descend
