THREATENED WITH DEATH.

A Witness In the Coughlin Case Gives
 Damaging Testimony in Answer 10
 Questions Put 10 Him by Juror.
 CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-Charles Carlson was put through a severe cross-exsmination at the Coughlin trial to-day in an endeavor to discredit his testimony. Nothing of im- portance occurred until the lawyers had
 finished with him. Then Juror Lassene asked the witness: "Why was detective with you on your tripi" The question had reference to 6 junket Carlson took before the other trial, all bills being paid by the officer. The witness replied: "Beoause was threatened by psople and bothered so much"
 "In what wsyf"
 "The 'Freemen' came into my fathers house one night and threatened me in the kitchen. They told me that Inever would
 be allowed to testify and to take warning by the fate of Carey, the Phsnix park in- former"
 The defence had not looked for that kind of ending to Osrlson's testimony, and Attorney Donohue opened up again, but the witness stuck to his story throughout.

sITgATION IN SICILY.

SAA v 0 - Aohs AAs SA 1t is Regarded With Increasing Alarm ! by the Italian Government-Killed
 by the Mob.
 RoME, Jan. 3.-The situation in Sicily has been regarded with increasing alarm by the government since the late afternoon dispatches arrived. General Mocenni, war minister, has called under arms another section of the class of 1869. This section is 5000 strong. The troops now in Sicily number 10000. Two hundred reserve off cers are also called out.
 It is said Premier Giolitti had all the information contained in the dispatch but ignored 1t, as he believed the situation in Sicily was not so bad as represented. The cabinet, however, will make every effort to enfore rigorous measures against Sicilian cies and the plenary powers granted to the new prefect of Palermo indicate Premier Crispi's purpose to suppress. the fasci and kindred societies very shortly. The heavy snow storms in several parts of Italy have interfered greatly with telegrsphs, and cd. ditional details of riots in smaller towns within the last two days have come in slowly. a .2 An snti-tax mob stoned the doors and windows of tho town hall in the city oi Trapani this evening. Police dispersed | the rioters. Late in the evening two pet | ards were exploded in the grounds oi Ssnor Giuseppi d,Ahs. They did but slight | damage.
 Accounts of the riot in Gibellini vary somewhat. A dispatch just received sayl
 that priest named Casapinta and police magistrate were killed by the mob. LONDON, Jan. 4-The Daily News hal this stery from Sicily:
 The residents of the village of Terrasin were burning the octroi bureaux. Troopl
