KNOPPS AND LEHMANN
From the German Staatz-Zeitung: j
Knopps: Lehman please tell me how
it is possible that the Times newspaper
has been arrested for libel. This paper
has alwavs considered it the highest hon-
or to be the tail-end of the administra-
tion and yet it has been arrested by it?
Lehmann: I suppose Knopps that the
Times wanted to appear very important
and as its importance didn’t seem to be
fully appreciated it proposed to call at-
tention to Its weighty character by
throwing a little mud.”
Knopps: “Well I don’t think it was
treated fairlv in this matter. Why even
Barnes (‘Colly’) who is a sort of local
editor of that paper and who during the
whole city election wagged with the ring
and fairly barked for joy when it won
has been also arrested.’’
Lehmann: “I am also very much sur-
prised that he should be arrested’ or
barking so much and so prettily as he
did.”
Knopps: “You form ' hough Lehmann
that the election is w over and his
barking is not needed vny longer and he
ought to have known hat one gets kick-
ed for looking too muu. especialv when
he looks on the wrong side.”
Lehmann: Well I hope he will be ex-
cused this time.” _
Knopps: “So do I.”
A LITTLE GIRLS'S EXPERIENCE IN
A LIGHTHOUSE.
Mr. and Mrs. Loren Trescott are keep-
ers of the government lighthouse at Sand
Beach Mich. and are blessed with a
daughter four years old. Last April she
was taken down with measles followed
with a dreadful cough and turning Into
fever. Doctors at home and at Detroit
treated her but in vain she grew worse
rapidly until she was a mere “handful of
bones.’’ Then she tried Dr. King’s New
Discovery and after the use of tw r o and a
half bottles was completely cured. They
say Dr. King's New Discovery is worth
its weight in gold yet you may get a trial
bottle free at Dreiss Thompson & Co.'s
drug store. 3-11-lm

THE PEOPLE RISE.
A CORRUPT JURY’S VERDICT
SET ASIDE.
Indignant at Justice Defeated—New
Orleans People Reek Bloody
Vengeance on the
Italians.
New Orleans March 14 10:15
a m.—Special—An Immense indigna-
tion meeting has Just been held at
the Ciay statue on Canal street and
fully three thousand persons are now
marching to Congo Square which la
within three hundred yards of the
Parish prison. The men composing
the crowds are fully determined and
within a few minutes a demand will
no dodbt be made of the sheriff* for
the surrender ot the Sicilians now in
prison charged with Hennessy's
assassination.
The meeting at Clay Statue ad-
journed to the Parish prison which
was soon surrounded by several
thousand people. The doors were
forced open and it is known that six
of the Sicilian assassins have been
killed as follows: Manuel Pollzzl
Pietro Manasterio Antonio Sacffedi
Joseph P. Macheca Antonio Mar-
chesi Antonio Bagneoto. The ex-
citement is without bounds.
Pollzze the Sicilian who feigned
insanity during his recent trial was
taken out of the parish prison led to
Congo Square and hung. They are
now looking for Dominick O'Malley
the detective who was instrumental
in packing the jury and when found
be will be bung.
The crowd that c< llected around the
Parish prison must have numbered
ten thousand. The prisoners were
killed in the yard of the prison. Po-
lizzi was bung to a lamp post and
Cagnette to a tree on the middle
ground in front of the prison. Both
were riddled with bullets. The crowd
Is now dispersing but search for
O’Malley is now going on.
The scenes at and about the Clay
statue thia morning brought to mind
the uprising of September nearly six-
teen years ago. Ten o’clock had not yet
struck and a vast multitude was alrea-
dy congregated on Canal street almost
filling up the large space from curb
to curb on each ai i-'of the‘boule-
vard. At 10 o’clock W. 8. Parker sou
J hn C. Wickliffe and others who
signed the call for the mass meeting
came up. “Fall in! fall in!” was the
cry and amidst deafening shou’s
several of the crowd formed a proces-
sion which went around the railing
several times. Cries for Parkerson
and Wickliffe arose and soon
these gentlemen had ascended
the steps. They stood erect
and motionless surveying the
surging multitude from whose ran ks
there gleamed faces full of resolve
and determination. There were fully
three thousand people within earshot
and more could be seen struggling
pushing and running here and there
on the neutral ground. Street cars
were unable to pass through and
carriages carts wagons cabs
and vehicles . of all description
were halted. The people were
about to exercise their mighty prerog
alive to move out of the way. There
was a fixed purpose to hear what they
expected would be said and do what
an outraged community felt should
be done. Parkerson spoke first. He
said that once before he had appeared
before the people in a grand mass
meeting assembled to discuss a mat-
ter vital to the interests of the
community and again faced the
people of New Orleans to denounce
the most infamous act which was
consequent upon the most revolting
crime in the annals of any com-
munity. That act was the finding of
tbejuryinthe murder trial yester-
day and that crime was as every
body knows the foul assassination of
the chief of police. “I desire
neither fame nor name nor
glory” said Parkerson. “I am
a plain American citizen and as
such and as a good citizen I am here.’
John C. Wickliffe was the next
speaker. He spoke in about the s«n>e
strain. The indignant citizens reach-
ed the Parish prison at 10:30 tme
morning. Their officers were W. 8
Parkerson Captain; J. D. Houston
First Lieutenant; J. C. Wick-
liffe Second Lieutenant. Many men
were armed with Winchester rifles
and revolvers protruded from many
pockets. As the crowd marched
away a cheer rent the air that could
be heard squares away. The police
did not interfere in any wav with the
proceedings. The mob broke in the
side gate of the parish prison and a
regular fusllade ensued. There were
eleven Sicilians killed. A mas*
meeting in regard to O’Malley will
be held tonight.

Terrell succeed in having the following

that I advocated government ownership
of railways. I did state that unless the
governmentcould control the railway cor-
poration in the interests of the people
their ownership by the government be-
came a necessity that we should
shut our eyes to the tact that even a
railway commission may not bring with
it a transportation millenlum; that the
problem now confronting us is—shall the
railroads control government or the gov-
ernment control the railroads?
“Criticism on my advocacy of an ap-
pointive commission I deem unworthy of
notice except to say that during the last
twelve years I have Introduced three
commission bills all of which provided
for the appointment by the governor of
railway commissioners.”
