The discriminating Letter.
Evidence that Madonna was a member
Of Giuseppe Marello's gang was secured
bv the police through the finding OF q
letter written by Madonna to Marello
from Pittsbrrg on March 2&
The letter was turned over to Assist
ant Dlstrict-Attorney Garvan by the
Secret Service men, and MareNo was
forced to acknowledge 1t On tho witness
stand.
It seems from the letter that several
months ago vito Laduco. proprietor of
the butcher shop at No. l6 Stanton
street, where Madonna was last seen
alive with members Of the Malta gang.
was arrested in Pittsburg with two
companions on q charge OF counter
feiting. He was discharged and came
back to this city, but Marello sent him
back to help out his companions.
He failed. and then Marello wrote
Madonna at Buffalo to go TO Pittsburg
and see what he could do for the mem
bers Of the gang.
Madonna went to Pittsburg, but could
do nothing, and wrote Marello. abusing
him for sending bunglers to look after
the fate of men under arrest. He ao.
cused him OF being Indifferent to tho
fate of his associates and unwilling to
spend money to help them. The alleged
treachery to Madonia's brother-in-law,
De Prtma, was referred 70. and Ma
donia wound up by declaring that he
was done with Marello and his asso-
ciates. The entire letter indicates that
Madonna was one OF Marello's confed-
crates and had fallen out with him.
In addition to the letter the Secret
Service men found In the bottom OF
one OF Marello's trunks a printed page
on which the name Of Benedetto Mado-
MA was written In red Ink.

D1spESsARY IN CLAYTON.

The nearest dispensary to Raleigh is the
one at Clayton. 1t has reduced drunken
ness and crime eighty per cent. Recently
there was published in these columns a
letter from Mr.. Ashley Horne, of Clay
ton, telling of the great Improvement
brought about in that town by the dis
pensary. And yet here IN Raleigh reports
have been circulated that the dispensary
in Clayton is a failure, etc. A few days
ago Mr.. d. r. Byrum, OF Raleigh. a
strong opponent of saloons, was talking
to a man who held up the Clayton saloon
as warming to Raleigh. Mr.. Byrum had
not seen the letter of Mr.. Horne and he
therefore wrote him a letter asking for
the facts. In reply to that inquiry Mr..
Byrum has received the following reply:
Clayton, N. c., Sept. 90, 1903.
Mr.. d. r. Byrum, Raleigh, N. C.
Dear Sir: Replying to yours of the
26th to Mr. Ashley Horne, will say that
our dispensary is run with all the neces-
sary caution, and that no one who knows
anything about it who is friend to dis
pensary system would say anything
against it. 1t is true that when you FIND
man who is not in favor ofscurtailing the
whiskey traffic in its degraded form he
will say things to discourage those who
wish to reform it, We find the dispen-
sary is the best solution of the whiskey
traffic. and that since the establishment
of it here drunkenness and crime has de
creased 80 pei cent. This is not guess
work but actual figures from the town
docket. 1 would say to every citizen OF
Raleigh who wishes to promote the inter
ests of the town and to suppress the evil
effects of the whiskey traffic to vote out
the Rum Shops and establish dispen
sary. Yours truly,

THE WHOLE STATE INTERESTED
(Charity and Children)

We are all interested most intensely in
the election which comes off next month
in Raleigh. The temperance forces of the
city have made a noble fight. They de-
serve success whether they win or lose.
But the issue goes far beyond the limits
of Raleigh. It is our capital city. Wits
key is entrenched there. If it can be
broken up and the regulation of the traf-
fic taken out of the hands of those who
know so well how to manipulate matters
politically. a long step forward will have
been made toward bringing absolute pro-
hibition not only to Raleigh but to the
State. So the welfare of all of us is bound
up more or less in this issue so soon to
be decided in Raleigh. May the Lord bless
the people who are making this vitality
important and righteous campaign.

RAILROAD MEN AND THE DISPEN
SARY.

The News and Observer yesterday morn
ing contained telegram from Salisbury
that attracted the attention of every rail
road man in Raleigh-for all the railroad
men in this city read the News and OBJ
server to get the railroad news. Railroad
men in the city were talking about it
yesterday, and one of them said that it
seemed to be a special message to Raleigh
railroad men to vote next Monday to shut
up the saloons. The story was as follows:
Salisbury, n. c. Oct. IA fireman on
the Southern caused trouble by getting
drunk while on duty. The name of the
young man is Tom King, and his run has
been between Spencer and Greenvllle, s.
C. He became intoxicated after leaving
Charlotte and failed to keep steam in his
engine. The engineer was compelled to
stop before reaching Salisbury and "blow
up at which time he demonstrated with
King for his conduct. Upon reaching this
place King assaulted the engineer, in
flicting severe wounds The conductor of
the remainder of the trip in order to pre-
vent further interference. Immediately
after reaching Spencer King skipped and
has not yet been arrested, though war
rant has been issued and the officers are
in search of him. He will be brought
back here for trial when found"
To the Railroad Engineer: You might
have been in the same position. You
may be in that position yourself. Think
twice before you vote to keep open the
saloons which have done so much to in
jure some of your associates and which
may threaten your life.
Railroad Fireman: For your own good
and the good of all other railroad men,
vote against the saloon in the election to
be held in Raleigh next Monday
