PlACAT D THE OLD NICK.
An Italian Society Which Kept the Devil
mt Hay.


New YORK, May 14-An Italian So
ciety called niagara" which has been
making a commercial article out of the
m~alevolence Of the devil, received a
severe blow in the Tombs court, when
n of its leading lights. "Dr." Vim
cenzo Libertino, was committed to
jail in default Of So, 500 on charges OF
defrauding his fellow countrymen.
The three leaders in the organiza-
ton were the prisoner, his brother,
Giuseppe Libertino, and a man named
Giuseppe Giannasio. The second is
In Jail, having failed to pay a fine Of
500 for practicing medicine illegally.
Giannasio is a fugitive. Vincenzo had
taken n ticket for Italy and would
have escaped only for the agility %
some Italians, who chased him over
rooftops.
The society had its headquarters at
No. 1873 Baxter street. Its object was
n simple one; it was n sort of a middle
between the devil and the public.
For money, the former could be- in
duced to refrain from injuring the
mortals Of New York city, and IL is
on their supposed influence with sa-
tan that the three men have fattened.

inJure in riots last night between the

by b Parnellites that they were
wiling to go and listeu
quietly to what William O'Brien had
TO say, but when hey attempted to
enter they were prevented. This en-
ragged them and the riot began. The

dIe. The encounter has greatly
stirred up the antagonism bot cen
the factions of the Irish party and tho
feeling is as bitter in Cork as during
