Affray Occurred. IN

New Orleans, June 1S.-A black
mailing tragedy with the unusual So
auel that Of the four blackmailers
three were killed and one wounded,
while the intended victims escaped
without a scratch, was enacted We'd
nesday in the historic former home
of Gen. Beauregard, in the French
quarter and now the residence OF
Pietro Giacona. wine merchant, re-
puted to be one Of the wealthiest Ital-
ians in the south.
Giacona is 61 years old, and how
he and his. son Carrada managed to
kill three armed and desperate men is
not yet clear to the police. II is GER
tain that the Giaconas invited the
blackmailers into their house and
wined ,and dined them for several
hours before the shooting occurred.
The Giaconas say that the unusual
feast was forced on them and that
they did not shoot until after one OF
the guests had opened fire.
The dead are: Giovanni Barreca,
Giro Cusimano and another Italian.
The wounded man is Francisco Vat
tall OF st. Louis: Vattali says he was
shot while passing Giacona's house.
leaving the possibility that he was
not one of the four blackmailers and
that the fourth guest may have es-
capped despite his wounds.

MILLIoNAIREs INCREASING.

w
The most recent statistics on wealth
In America, which places John ID.
Rockefeller alone In the Millionaire
class and show the multiplication of
millionaires on every hand. has drawn
attention to the aina.ln.,I ~ -A.tJ with
which this class of business men has
literally sprung up within as short a
space of time as so years.
II was not much longer ago than
that that list of the rich men of New
York city was prepared and published
by Moses Y. Beach. He gave the names
OF 1.024 men who possessed 100000,
and there were only 20 men who could
millionaires in New York at that time
meant practically all in the United
States.
Today there are in America 5,027
millionaires, a little less than half the
known number of millionaires in the
entire world, which is 10,0S7.
The richest man in the world, ac-
cording to common belief, is the czar
of Russia, whose private wealth is
placed at $4,000, 10000. Perhaps If the
wealth of the shah of Persia, who
wears a single green stone In his tur-
ban worth $4,O00.000. could be count
ed it would be found that he is the
wealthiest man in the world, because
he actually owns all of Persia.
The man with 100000 nowadays is
not wealthy. His means are small. 1t
is the day of the multi-millionaire,
even such men as Sir Thomas Upton,
with only from s10,O00,0O0 to $25, ,00O,-
600, being counted small fry. The men
who stand out are those whose wealth
exceeds $l00,000,00, and they are nu-
merous.
There are 40 millionaires In Russia
and not one In Japan save the mikado
himself In all the Japanese empire
there are but AL fortunes of as much
as ,$225,000 each. One of our kings OF
finance might buy them all. But
wealth is evenly distributed In Japan.
and there are no paupers. On the 9TH
er hand. Russia is noted for the extrav-
agunce OF her wealthy class and the
wrctchedness of her poor.
