HAHNvILLE, La, Aug. 10.-There
was triple lynching in this town just

the bodies of three Italian murderers
were found swinging from the rafters
Of a shed near the courthouse. One of
the men is Lorenzo Saladino, who so
foully assassinated Jules Gueymard at
Freetown last Tuesday night, and the
other two were Decino Sorcoro and
Angelo Marcuso, who murdered an old
Spaniard on the Ashton plantation,
near BOutte station, some time ago.
Ever since the murder Of Gueymard
this parish has been in a fever heat of
excitement over the affair, and even on
the first night after the murder it was
with great difficulty that Sheriff Ory
Prevented the Lynching
of Saladino. He spirited him away in
the woods and kept him there over
night, and then the next day took him
to the new Jail in Hahnville. In the
meantime the evidence grew against
Saladino and feeling correspondingly
grew in intensity. About II 80 last
night the mob which had concentrated
on the outskirts of the town began to
move on the Jail. They captured the
old negro guard and by the vigorous
use Of axes soon demolished the Jail and

settlement to be called Victoria Town.
Columns are now pouring out in the
Kingdoms newspapers in discussion,
wherein all the writers agree that the
idea is an excellent one, but no two
writers can agree as to
What Constitutes Model Town,
the fiercest controversialists gathering
round the two items of theaters and
drinking saloons. On the question of
drinking, the line is sharply drawn in
the matter of theaters, one division in
sists that a model theater should ex.
clude all tragedies, problem plays and
the like, and be strictly limited to COM
edy, farce and light opera. Nothing
with an unhappy ending is to be al
lowed in the model town, nor are.street
bands that cannot play harmoniously
to be admitted. Later OH the questions
of secular and religious education, rates,
taxes, trade unionism, socialism and
anarchy will overtake the correspond
ents and help pile stones on the al
ready dead suggestion.
