Terrorized by Black Hand.

Government secret service detectives
are on the track Of the Black Hand
Society Of Richmond, whose alleged
members have terrorized the homes OF
prominept Italian citizens in that city.
II is said this society has succeeded by
threats of assassination in exioriing at
least 800 out of Italians in Lynch
burg and other Virginia cities.
The refusal of Joseph MARSHA, we'll
known Italian merchant OF Richmond,
to give mp $500 under threat of assassi-
nation is only one of several such cases
brought to light. The publicity he gave
to the threatening communications he
received embroidered others of his coun.
try men whose lives had been threatened
TO speak out.
Louis Correiri, liquor dealer in west
Broad street, was ordered to leave ST.
900 in designated place near the old
fair grounds and death was named as
the penalty of failure to comply. He
was warned not 10 communicate with
the police, and was told in the mes
sage that if he did so he would be
shot down in the street. A stiletto
stuck on the door bore the mes
sage of death and the threat that his
family would be wiped out and his
house burned because of this bad treat
ment of his countrymen. Becoming
thoroughly alarmed, Correiri, submitted
the message and his fears to some OF bis
intimate friends. They advised him to
Law the matter before the Secret Service
at Washington, anc this was done.
The communications were all written 10
Italian and bear the signature Gsrlbaldl'
Correiri called at police headquarters
Yesterday, showed the latest note he had
received and asked permission to carry
a pistol. The last note translated into
English, reads as follows:
"All this day you are marked by the
society and it will attend to you unless

serenades Grave of Young Wife.


Sounds of music coming from the
cemetery in the middle of the night
have terrified the inhabitants of the
Swiss village of Bregenz, near the Aus
trian frontier, for some days past. Two
gendarmes hid themselves Friday night
behind tombstone in order to investi-
gate. They saw young tradesman
named Wolf climb over the cemetery
wall, pull a violin from under his coat,
and standing over newly made grave,
begin to play the Bohemian Girl"
They listened to the end, and then went
up to the man, who said he had been play
ing over the tomb of his bride, who had
died the week before. at was the
piece she liked best" he said to the
gendarmes, who led him away for in
quiry az his sanity.

New York. Dec 2O-The two new
ferryhouses and steps of the Central
Railroad of New Jersey and the Della
ware Loclawanna, near the foof of
Twenty-third street, were practically
destroyed by FIRE this morning. The
loss may aggregate a half of a mill
lion dollars.
The fire stated near the waiting room
of the Delaware and Lackawanna ferry
house. The building was soon a mass
of flames, which communicated 90 the
Central ferry house, located alons the
river front. about Twenty-first to
street.
The spread Of the flames was aided
by the tardy arrival of the fire fighters
This was due TO a defective fire alarm
.appaIatus at Twenty street.
The ferryboat Hamburg, on which
there We're 500 passengers was in the
L.acalkawanna slip when the fire broke
out but when the pilot saw the fire, he
quickly pulled away. a number OF
painters were at work on this struc-
lture. II is thought that one of the
lamps used by the painters exploded
land started the fire.
