to Murder DIR. Hodges, PrOmi-
nent Citizen.

New Orleans, July %. Five Sicilians
were hanged yesterday by mob at
Tallula, town of several hundred in
habitants in Madison parish, II miles
from the river. The dead are: Joe
Defatta, Charles Defatta, Frank De-
fatta, Sy Deberroch and Joe Cereno.
The five victims were strung up to
trees for a supposed connection with
plot to murder DIR. Hodges, promi-
nent physician of the place, who was
shot and fatally wounded by one of the
Sicilians Thursday. In addition to
this several acts of lawlessness that
have occurred in the neighborhood re-
Gently were attributed to the gang.
Several of the men are believed to have
families in Europe. Quiet was restored
Immediately after the lynching, and
the grand jury began an investigation
of the affair, but because of the feeling
against the men it is doubtful if action
is taken against any member of the
mob.

treated right and getting what was
coming to them. He was logged out

SILVER LEADERS CONFER.
Significant Meeting at Chicago Which May
Have Influence on the Future Policy
of the Democratic Party.

Chicago, July 22.-While the mem
bers of the national democratic COM
mittee were enjoying a view of drain
age canal yesterday the silver leaders
were in conference at the Auditorium
annex. Those who participated in the
conference said it had no political sig
nificance whatever, and that they were
at the annex simply as guests of More
ton F'rewen, the noted English bimetal-
list, at luncheon. It is a fact, how
ever, that both prior to and following
the luncheon there were meet
ings where questions seriously
affecting the future relations of the
democratic party and the silver people
were under consideration. It is said
that plan to organize the silver forces
of the country into a distinct party
formed the principal theme of discus
sion. It was not suggested as an i'm
mediate necessity, but as a contingency
which future events might make not
only expedient, but necessary.

For the Dogs sake.

In the north of England, where
rabbit coursing is most in vogue, swift
well trained dogs often win large sums
in prizes. 1t is therefore little to be
wondered at that the owners of these
animals should bestow so much atten--
ton upon them. An old Yorkshire
collier. well known for his success in
the coursing field, recently surprised
his mates by marrying a very UMPIRE
possessing pauper woman. He had al
ways been reckoned confirmed hater-
of the other sex. ''Why has ia gone
and got spliced. lad, at thy age?" one
of his friends asked him. "Oh, that's
not much of a tale" answered the old
man stolidly. II agree wiz ye 'at
Betsy yonder is no beauty. If she had
been, 1 shouldn t have wed her. But
that there dog o. mine, he was simply
pinin' for somebody to look after him
while I was away at the pit. I
couldn't bear to leave him in the house
by hissen. so hit on the idea o. marry
in Betsy. She's not handsome. but
she's mighty good company for the
dog. Troy Times
