ELEVEN THUS MEET THEIB DEATH Only Three, and One of Them a Boy, Al-lowed to Live The Angry Crowd at the Prison. New Orleans, March 14. All the prisoners on trial yesterday for the assassination of Chief of Police lien-ness- y were either shot or hanged to-day, except Incaedonia, Matriance and Marchesi (a boy). A public meeting assembled at Clay statue and almost immediately ad-journed to the Parish prison, which was soon surrounded by several thousand people. The doors were forced open and the Sicilian assassins taken out and either shot or hanged. The scenes about the Clay statute this morning brought to mind very forcibly and violently the peruliar and oniiuious uprising of the Sepotember day sixteen years ago. Ten o'clock had not yet struck and a vast multitude had already congregated on Canal street almost filling up the large space from curb to curb on each side of the boulevard. Just on the stroke of 10 o'clock a shout went up from the peo-ple stationed at St. Charles street and a number of gentlemen, among whom were V. 8. Parkerson. ,f. C. Wick-litl'- e and others who signed the call came. Three thousand peoplo were within ear shot and more could be seen struggling, pushing anil running here and there on the neutral ground. The street cars were unable to pass through and vehicles of all descriptions were halted. Parkerson spoke first. Ho said that once before he had aocicarcd before the people iu grand mass meeting assem-bled, to discuss matters of vital interest to the community, and again he faced the deoplo of New Orleans to denounce the infamous act, which was conse-quent upon the most revolting crime in the criminal annals of any commun-ity. That act was the finding of the jury in tho murder trial yesterday, and in that the crime was, as everybody knows, the assassination of Chief Hen-nessey. After the speeches an indignant crowd of about 2090 started for the parish prison, which they reached at 10:30 o'clock. After a slight resist-ance, the jail was surrendered. Tho citizens rushed in and killed eleven i of the nineteen men who wero indicted for the assassination of Chief Hennessey as follows: Manuel PolMz, Pietro Mon-astr- Antonio Sca(T?di, Joseph P. Antonio Marchesi, Antonio Bag-nett- Frank Romero, Jim Caruso, Kocco Geracbi,' Charles Frahine and Coinilez. After the assassins had been put to death, Parkerson addressed the crowd, urging them to return to their homes or respective places of business without further demonstration. Joe Macheca had a pistol and shot Sergeant llerron in the neck, inllicting a slight wound. Politz is hanging to a lamp post at Trone aud Stan streets; Bafnetto to a tree in front of the prison. The others were shot in their cells. When the citizens' committee had completed its work at the parish prison it disbanded for the day. A meeting will be held tonight to consider what further action, if any, shall be taken. The committee was composed of the better class of citizens and business men who were satisfied the safety of the community demanded vigorous ac-tion. rauiM dead!

He Was the Most Formidable Opponent With Whom Fi'tnarck Had to Deal During His Long Rule. Beki.in, March 14. Ir. Ludwig Windthorst, parliamentary leader of the Catholic p:wty in Prussia, died at 8:15 this morning, lie was born Janu-ary 17, 1812. A small man physically, a powerful man mentally, was Hcrr Laid wig Wind-thorst. As ho sat in the reichstag watching through his guld-howe- spec-tacles the historical kultur kampf and leading his followers agaiti.it the host of Bismarck, his piping voice pitched against the equally small voice of the man of blood and iron, his wonderful ability was conceded even by his oppo-nent. Windthorst was born on Janu-ary 17, 181'.', iu Osnabruck. Hanover, and pursuing his studies in his native Carslinuni ho graduated at Gottiugcn and Heidelberg as a lawyer. Soon, however, he accepted ollice. the most conspicuous being that of appel-late judge. Just prior to the war with Prussia, which wiped the Kingdom of Hanover out of exist-ence, Windlhorit wis minister of justice and finally chief syndic of the crown in Kalbe. During all this time he was a member of the assembly and in 1811 presidant thereof. With the annexa-tion he entered the (ierman parliament assuming at once tho leadership of the Catholic party and managing it with consumate skill and effect. One who has seen him describes Windthorst as puny in size, almost deformed, ugly as Socrates; an antagonist before whose prowess the boldest deputies trembled, and uniler whose. assaults even the KieiiL i1i,1i,mui lk nI isi iLns coolIness aim senif command. As a tactician ho was un-surpassed. He made bis party of the ceu-te- r, the strongest iu the reichsrath. Philadelphia, March 14. Mrs. Hannah C. Paul, wife of the well known lawyer.James W.

THE STONE LANDS. F.ffact of tli Kerenl Uerlaloo on I'tah't Adamant. As recently predicted by The Timks, the recent decision of tho secretary of interior is working hardship to those who have sought to enter stone lands in Utah under the placer mining laws. Hundreds and thousands of dollars have been expended by bona lido claim-ants in the development of stone quar-ries in this territory, and now it tran-spires in the face of the recent decision, that no titlo of ownership to lands d or initiated under the placer laws are practically void and worthless. There should bo a remedy to protect those who have acted iu good faith, or at least some method adopted to re-munerate them for the expenses they have incurred where their prolits have not already satisfied their investments. Tho government land offices in the dis-tricts where these entries have been al-lowed accepted tho fees of the appli-cants for the entry of theso lands as placer claims, and it is reasonable to presume that they were not acting with-out authority from the general land of-fice at Washington, I). C. It is certain that the claimants making this class of entries aro at no fault, and the burden of the responsibility rests solely with the government, which alone can afford an equitable relief. A special act of Juno 3, 187S, covers tho ground for Nevada, Oregon, California and Washington. There is no reason why sneh a law should not bo extended to Utah. Colo-rado, Idaho and other Inter mountain states and territories, with special clause therein to cover tho cases of bona lide claimants in the several states and territories whose rights are atTeeted by tho secretary of tho interior's recent decision, which is a reversal of a pre-vious decision upon which claimants have based their rights. There is little doulit but what the department at Washington will formulate a ruling or decision for tho protection of these claimants, at least recommend to con-gress tho passage of a law that will afford relief to those who aro affected by the recent ruling.

It was but a short space of time after the breaking out of the flames in the cigar store before the old United States hotel, at the corner of Fayette and Franklin streets, was being consumed. Tlie boarders all escaped. On the east side of the Ilogau block was a three-stor- y brick double-fron- t building, owned by John Holliday. Tho store next to Cahill Brothers' was unoccu-pied, but the other store was used by wholesale and retail dealers in teas, coffees and spices.

This city was telephoned for aid, but Chief Carroll of the tiro department could not be found, and tho subordi-nates refused to move without his or-ders. Finally, after two hours' delay, the chief was found, and he with two engiucs left for the scene of the dis-aster. Iu the meantime the west wing col-lapsed and the main building was on fire. The inmates, made frantic, were beginning to break from their guards and scattered like frightened animals over the surrounding country. The fire engines arrived at 2:12 and began work.

The trial of the nine Sicilians for the assassina-tion of Chief of Police Hennessy last October, was concluded yesterday after-noon, the jury bringing in a verdict of not guilty as to six of the accused, Macheca, the two Marchesis, Bagnotta, Inneardoa and Matranga, and failed to agree upon a verdict as to the other three, Pohte, Monastero and Scaffedi. As the verdict was read there was an audible expression of surprise and dis-satisfaction. The deputies, however, immediately suppressed the noise, and then Judge Baker ordered the jury to bo discharged and the prisoners re-manded, as thero was still another charge against them in connection with the case. When the jurymen reached the street they wero hooted at by the crowd. Indignation over the verdict is gen-eral.
