New Orleans, La, July 21.-Last
Friday night, on the Terra Haute
plantation, in St. Johns Parish, ter
rible butchery of human beings took
place.
While Rosario Giordano and his
family were seated at the supper table,
Joe Noska walked up to the door and
leyelling a double-barreled shot gun,
fired Mrs. Giordano fell to the floor
a corpse and the bullets that did not go
through her, went through both legs
of the four-months infant which she
held in her arms GiordanO, fearing
that the tender babe would be killed
in the fall, sprang forward to clasp it,
and the assassin
THEN FIRED AGAIN.
The buckshot entered the groin and
leg of Mary Giordano The ten-year-
old little girl, on seeing her mother
fall, ran forward and received a por-
ton of the load of buckshot that struck
her father The shot entered her alb
domen, literally tearing it to pieces.
At the same time, little Nicolina fell
to the floor wounded through the head.
The assassin, Joe Neska, did not
move from the spot but when he saw
Beuedito GiordanO, a nephew of the
dead woman, and Charley Columbano,
coming toward the door, he cOOlly
placed
TWO FRESH SHELLS
in his gun and waited until they got
very close to him. Then he raised the
gun and fired both barrels, the two
men falling to the ground dead. Then,
the murderer, throwing his gun over
his shoulder, made his escape 10 the
woods. When the citizens ascertained
the extent of the deed, they organized
a posse and, led by the Sheriff, at
tempted to capture the assassin. The
wounded were brought to the Charity
Hospital in this city.
They are
ROSARIO GIORDANO, the unfor-
tunate head Of the family, aged 81
years, shot in the left thigh.
MARY GIORDANO, aged 10 years,

rating the bladder and Intestines.
NICOLINA GIORDANO, aged 7
years, shot in the corner Of the eye,
the bullet penetrating the skull.
JOSEPH GIORDANO, aged four
months, shot in both legs and in the
head.
The two little Giordano girls at the
hospital will die: the father and tho
four -months-old baby will recover. The
assassin has not yet been captured
Mr.. Giordana says he does not know
how he had offended Noska and that
there was no i'll feeling whatever exist
ing between them.

That Large Sum Was Lost by an Oil
Work Fire, at Chicago, Yesterday
a Woman May Die.

Chicago. July 21.-The fire which
started in the building at $50 and 335
West Polk street. occupied by the Ma
ioual Linseed Oil Company and the
Wright & LawJher Bill and Lead Works,
at an early hour this morning, was one
of the most destructive with which the
Chicago fire department has had to con-
tend in many months. In the imme-
diate vicinity there is a large lumber
ward and numerous manufacturing
buildings. and it was with the utmost
difficulty that the flames were kept from
spreading TO these. Two large tanks,
iued with oil. in the immediate rear OF
the burned buildings were only kept
from catching fire by the hardest kind
of work on the part Of the firemen. The
main building was totally destroyed and
the loss will reach 100000 on stock and
machinery. The fire was discovered
i'm the basement by the watchman, who
turned I'm an alarm. but before the first
relay Of engines arrived, the entire
structure was in flames, and the adjoln-
ing property was being threatened. The
origin of the fire Is a mystery.
Mrs. John Dollweitzer occupied the
building adjoining the burned struc-
ture and at the time of the fire was con-
fnned to her bed with typhoid fever.
She was carried to place of safety by
the iremen. but it is feared the shock

President Alexander Fusion, of the
T.inseed Oil Company, visited the scene
of the fire to-day lie saad he thought
the insurance would nearly cover the
loss. Four engines were on the scene

Middletown, o., July 21.-The little
city OF Heno, just across the river,
west of this place, was greatly shocked
at noon to-day by the discovery of the
body of Miss Barbara Lillian Veidt in
the cistern at her home. The startling
discovery was made by her brother
Edward, well known and extensive
dealer in live stock.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Veidt, the young
lady's parents, and the brother Ed
ward, had left home early in the day
to visit friends in the country. The
brother returned at noon, and not find
ing his sister made inquiry of the near
neighbors. None of them had seen the
girl leave the house.
The cellar was under the kitchen,
and into its depths a long pole with
hook attached was thrust. It caught
on something which, upon being
brought to the surface by the brother,
proved to be the lifeless body of his
sister. DR.. Reed was called and aD-
piled all the known resuscitants with
out avail Acting Coroner Shortle
held an inquest this afternoon and re-
turned a verdict of suicide by drown
ing.

FOUR KILLED.
a Carriage Containing Six Men
Struck by an Express Train, Near
WilliamstOwn, Mass, Yesterday
Afternoon.

Williamstown, Mass, July 21.-FOuI
men were instantly killed while cross
ing the Fitchburg railroad track about
two miles from this place, this after
noon. A party of six men were riding
in a two-seated, covered carriager$hey
were returning to North Adams from
Bennington, and were struck by a west
bound express. Two of the men, Clar-
ence Prindle and Edward White, both
of Williamstown, escaped by jumping.
The killed are:
OLIVER DUDLEY,
NELSON TRUDEAU,
PETER ROOKIE,
JOSEPH TRAYON.
They were all of North Adams.
The accident occurred at a grade
crossing known as the "Dugaway,"
Just before O'Clock. AS the men ap-
preached the crossing a freight train
was passing eastward. They waited
until the caboose Of the freight train
had gone by and then started TO pro-
ceed, apparently not seeing the west
bound train. which was advancing at
express speed. The carriage was dt-
rectly across the tracks when the en-
CINE struck it, Prindle and White.
catching a glimpse Of the on-coming
train. had just time to shrek and jump.
thereby saving their lives. The other
men. with the carriage and one Of the
horses, were hurled into the air and
came down In an indescribable heap.
Dudley was the only one who breathed
after the accident, and he expired after
a few brief gasps The others lay In a
quivering mass among the broken and
twisted remnants of the carriage. The
mangled carcass of the horse lay lit
tie at one side. while beside it, and at
tached 10 it by the harness, stood its
mate uninjured.
As soon as possible the train was
stopped and several people rushed &c
the scene The bodies were taken 10
the baggage car. and thence 20 the Pow
nal. Vermont, station half a mile be-
yond. Later they were taken in chares
by Undertaken Comisky. of North
Adams. and removed TO that place 1t
is stated tonight that both engineers
whistled and rang the bell at the proper
distance from the crossing, but that
those signals were either unheard or
disregarded by the men In the carriage.

To OUELL THE MOBs.
Virginia is Spending More Than Any State
i'm the Union.

Richmond, Va, July 21.-The eX-
peDses incurred by the State through
the service of troops to keep down
mobs and prevent lynching during the
past three months has been heavier
than ever before since the Civil War.
To is estimated that since May l last
this service has cost 10000. At this
rate Virginia will have to pay out
S1S0.000 a year TO suppress mob yio-
lence and lynchings.
The larger part Of this expense was
incurred through the heavily armed
force at POcahontas. The troops are
still there. and it is probable that the
force will have TO be increased before
the trouble is over. At Lunenburg
more than 120 armed soldiers are sta
toned to protect three prisoners from
being lynched, and recently a body of
troops had to be sent TO Berryville to
oueIl a mob. At Norton 1t is probable
thar another force will be needed to
protect a prisoner from being lynched
All this is believed TO be the result of
the loose methods Of the criminal
courts.

A HUMAN PIN-CUSHI0N.
The Peculiar Case Of Miss Nellie
Thomas, Of Cincinnati.
An Inmate Of a Convent, She Says
She Committed Grievous Sins,
and for Each Sin She Stuck
Needle or Pin Into Her Limbs.
Fifty-One Needles Extracted, So
Far.

Cincinnati, Ohio, July 21.-A we'll
dressed lady appeared at the Cincin-
natl Hospital for admission, yesterday
afternoon. She presented a letter from
the Mother Superior of the convent,
where the young lady had resided. The
letter said the bearer, Miss Nellie
Thomas, had been employed at the con-
vent some time, and was suffering
from swollen legs and feet. Nothing
except the symptoms referred to in the
letter was found on preliminary exam
ination, but later it was decided to
lance the feet, when it was found the
limbs and feat were imbedded with
PINS AND NEEDLES.
Forty-one needles were extracted from
her body and she was not able until
to-day TO endure furti5r operations,
when ten more were extracted, and it
is thought others will be found The
physicians fear that blood poisoning
will set in and that the case in any
event may prove hopeless The girl
protested until after the operations
that she could not tell how her feet and
limbs became imbedded with these
needles, but finally she said she had
been at the convent of the Good Shep-
herd for several years. She was an or
phan and
ALONE IN THE WORLD
During her stay there she had done
wrong. Not once alone, but persistent
ly. She had done that which she knew
was not right, and for every sin she had
committed she had done penance by
thrusting a needle into one of her legs.
She said she and another girl in the
convent had become unnaturally in
fatuated with each other They had
acted as lovers, and had together sinned
against
GOD AND NATURE.
She said she had confessed to a priest
at the convent, who was greatly shock
ed at the confession she made.
The sisters make no attempt to deny
the story, but were no doubt in ignor-
ance of such relations existing between
any persons.
Miss Nellie is able to talk tonight,
but IS very weak and suffering intense
pain.
