Another Outbreak Against the Tax sys-
tem-Jan Broken Into and Prisoners
Liberated-Troops Disperse the Mob at
the Point Of the Bayonet.
PALERMO, Jan. lit would seem that
the rioting and disorder which have pre-
vailed in several parts of Sicily for some
time past are not yet at an end, and the
arrival Of strong re-enforcements of troops
is anxiously awaited by all law abiding
citizens. At Trapani, not far from this
city, news has been received Of a fresh riot,
and it is said that the reports in circula-
tion have so excited the people of Trapani
that disorder is anticipated at that place.
The latest riot, according to the dis
patches from Trapani, occurred at Castel-
vetrano, town of 10000 inhabitants, sit
uated about 30 miles from Trapani. It
appears that at a given signal a large body
of roadmakers suddenly left work and at
tackled the octroi station. The men were
evidently prepared for the outbreak, as
they had secured possession Of a number
Of cans of petroleum which they had hid
den by the roadside with a number Of re-
volvers, heavy sticks and poles, to which
pixies or scythes were attached.
1ANhANiptA bANnths
The roadmakers organized themselves
into a column, and with shouts of Down
with the octroii" and death to the munic-
ipal authoritiesw marched on the octroi
station, burned the sentry boxes and two
of the local octroi offices, after plentifully
sprinkling them with petroleum, and then
set fire to the central octroi offices, the tax
Offices and the record offices, destroying all
the archives and doing other damage.
The whole town was soon in terrible
uproar, the peaceable citizens flying for
their lives or locking themselves in their
residences, which they promptly barricad-
ed and prepared to defend to the utmost
with such means as they had at their COM
mand The mob in the meanwhile had
broken into a number Of wine shops, and
/ rolling the barrels Of wine and spirits out
into the streets they soon drank themselves
/ into a state of madness and were ready for
/ further acts Of violence.
At a signal from the leaders Of the mob
| the column was reformed, and shouting
and yelling like madmen and greatly re-
/ enforced by the lawless element of the
town and its neighborhood, the disorderly
roadmakers led the way to Mandemental
| prison, which they attacked with stones
and sledgehammers, in spite Of the gallant
defense made by the authorities of the
| prison and the guards and keepers OF thai
establishment.
Finally the mob forced in the doors, Sc
verel, handled the defenders of the prison
and succeeded in hberating all the prison
ers, who soon joined with the mob in i'm
bibing the stolen liquors andin acts Of VIC
I ience.

Patrick Doyle, twenty-five years old,
a tin roofer, residing at Az East Seven

The trouble was caused by the death

Hatsfield had him Killed.

SOLD HIS WIFE FOR $40.
Husband Thought II TOO Little and
struck the Purchaser.

(By Associated Press)
CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-As evidence in a
case OF assault and battery in Judge
Fosters court, a contract was produced
by which NJ. +. King sold his wife to
Henry Reuter- for $40 about a year ago.
King met Reuter- on South Clark street
last night and struck him in the neck.
Reuter- resented the blow and both men
were arrested. Reuter- pleaded self
defense. and then King explained how
the trouble came about.
He said he sold his wife to Reuter-
for $40 months ago, and that the pair
had since lived together. After trying
single life again, King said he concluded
that Reuter- had not paid enough for his
spouse, but Reuter- refused to pay over
more money. King said he struck him
in a fit of Indignation Reuter- denied
the transaction. The other man then
produced a thumb-marked contract, in
which the transfer was made and the
sum was stated. with Reuters sigma
ture attached.
Justice Foster had the fellow write
his name, and the signatures were
identical. The Magistrate fined the
tickle husband SIS and costs.

WHENCE CAME THE SPONGES?
TheyCaused CONSERVATION Among
Cotton Exchange Members.
Supt. Powers Positive They Had
Seen Hospital Service.

The bulls and bears on the Cotton
Exchange were thrown into a hutter
of excitement and anxiety to-day. The
market in itself was more or less eX-
citing, but that was not the cause of
their disturbed feelings 1t was some
thing worse than a squeeze" of the
shorts or a shaking OUT of the bulls.
1t was all about a lot of sponges,
such as are used in ordinary office
work, several of them being in use in
the office of Supt Powers The sponges
were bought a few days ago for the
use of the clerks. When the sponges
were put into the sponge cups and water
was poured on them to keep them
moist, an odor was emitted which filed
the room with most disgusting smell.
They were examined, and Supt. Powers
sent forth the edlct that they should
be forthwith taken to the furnace-rooom
and consumed with fire.
The edict was carried out at once,
to the great relief of the clerks and OF
the bulls and bears. who had pictured
to themselves terrible scenes of ravage
from cholera, yellow fever and other
dreadful diseases. Supt. Powers has
registered a solemn resolve that he will
never again allow such sponges to be
bought for the use of the clerical force
of the exchange.
In speaking of the matter to a reporter
he said:
II am satisfied that the sponges came
from hospital, or some similar place.
They had been cleaned specifically, but
not disinfected so as to Kill the germs
with which they had become laden.
When placed in water these again re-
vived and multiplied. When the matter
was brought to my attention l at once
had the sponges destroyed I do not
think any contagion will result, for the
sponges scarcely had time to spread any
| disease. But 1t is lesson to me that
/ will not soon forget"
