GOOD WORK OF THE YEAR.

grand secretary and treasurer, shows an
increase in the membership of the organiza
tion of 600 during the last year, its present
strength being 14,057. Two hundred and
seventy-five disability and death claims, to
a total of nearly *275,000, have been paid
during the year. Of the total claims over
2i)o resulted from railroad accidents. Par
ticular stress is laid upon the fact that 130
of the deaths resulted fro n the coupler now
in use, and that the remainder of the acci
dents were almost entirely traceable to the
fact that the post of duty of the brakeinan
is on top of the cars.
THE NEW YORK CENTRAL STRIKE.

deal at length with the recent conference of
the federation of railroad employes to con
sider the strike on the New York Central,

SAVANNAH, GA., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1890.
DAGOS IN THE DUNGEONS
NEW ORLEANS POLICB RAID AN
ITALIAN MEETING.
Forty Men Without Dollars or Domi
ciles Taken Into Custody—A Claim
That the Man Who Fired the Fatal
Shot la a Frlsoner—A Bitter Antl
ltallan Sentiment.
New Orleans, Oct. 20.—The police last
night arrested forty odd I adans at he
grocery of Carlo Graffiro, at the corner of
Burgundy and Conie street. The officers
noticed a large number of Italians droo
ping into the place in twos and threes and be
lieving that there was some
thing wrong forced their way
iu and found a man addressing
the crowd present in Italian. Charging
that it was an unlawful'assembly.all persons
present was arrested and carried to the jail.
a meeting raided.
In the meanwhile rumors that a number
of strange I aliatis were bolding an indig
nation meeting in the house attracted a
large crowd around the place, who mani
fested their hostility to the foreigners.
When the latter were brought to the sta
tion not one had a cent or home of any kind,
and it was learned that the entire party hart
arrived yesterday from Chicago and had
been told to meet at Graffiro’s place. As
the men could give no explanation of them
selves or why they came to New Orleans or
met at the grocery, they were locked up at
the police station ctiarged with being dan
gerous suspicious characters.
HELD AS THE MURDERER.
The police also arrested Manuel Pietro,
whom they charge with not only being one
of the men engaged in the Henuessy assas
sination, but actually the man who fired
the fatal shot. They claim to have the case
in excellent condition; that the murderers
have been arrested, and sufficient evideuce
gathered to convict them. According to
their view of the matter the murder was
ordered by the Mattangas, who are the head
of the Sicilian gang. Joe Macheca, under
the name of John Peter ion, leased the
Mastero bouse, from winch the assassins
watched Hennessy, and finally fired on him.
The murder itself was c immitted by six or
seven men, of whom Schaffidi, Mastero,
Bagnetto, lucardero and Pietro are five. The
other Italian prisoners, except some few
who are regarded as important w itnesses,
or accessories to the crime, have been re
leased. More evidence has been found
against Mecbica, he being identified by two
negro women who lived next door to the
Mastero house, as having been seen by them
at the house several times just before the
mu. der. In bis statement ho declares he
was never in that portion of New Orleans.
He is now identified by two white and two
colored women as having lea od the Mastero
house under different names and having
been seen frequently in that neighborhood.
two rearrested.
New Orleans, La., Oct. 20,10 p. m.—
Tony Matrarga and Vincento Carruse, who
were arrested a few days ago and released,
were arrested again to-day a id committed to
tbe parish prison, charged with being acots
sories to the assassination of Chief of Police
Hennessy. As each day pas es additional
information is being obtained that, it is
hoped, will convict tho3a already in the
me - bos of the law. aud several others, who
will be arrested later on. The police are
not inclined to talk much about the case
now. They are working quietly, aud are
not giving their enemies a chance to learn
what evidence they are gathering.
THE GUILTY ONES IN JAIL.
From what can be learned there is
hardiy any doubt but that the five men
who committed the crime and the villian
ous brains that gave birth to the foul plot
are among those who are now in jail. One
or two more of the conspirators are still at
at large, but it is on y a question of time
before they, too, will be behind the bars,
aid it is safe to say that when
the trial comes up the police will be able to
produce sufficient inf rmation to send the
entire g tng to the gallows. Pietro, one of
the supects, was identified to-day by a
colored woman who saw him last Monday
receive two guns from the other Sicilians.
Joe Macheca has been urther
identified as a constant visitor to
the cobbler shop which he rented
ostensibly to follow his occupation, but in
reality to watch the movements of Ohief
Hennessy. The conclusion generally ar
rived at is that tbe assassination was in
spired by the Macheca-Matrauga gangs.
A telegram was se it to the Pinkertons
yesterday asking them to assist in the hunt
for Chief Heunessy’s assassins. This morn
ing a reply was received from W. A. Pinker
ton saying he would be here at once to take
part personally in the work.
FUGITIVES AT PENSACOLA.

as fast as they arrive, and if any of them

WITHDRAWALS OF TOBACCO.
The Treasury Decides That Reweigh
ing Is Not Permissible.
Washington, Oct. 90i—Applications have
been made to the treasury department by
importers who had tobacco in bonded ware
houses prior to the passage of the act of
OcL 1, 1880 for permission to withdraw the
same at the weigtits as ascertained at the
time of said withdrawal. These applica
tions are based on the second proviso of
seoiion 50of the tariff act, which prescribes
than wiien duties are bated on the weig.it of
merchandise deposited in any public or pri
vate bonded house, said duties siiall be levied
and collected upon the weight of such mer
chandise at the time of its withdrawal
ASST. SECY. SPALDING’S OPINION.
Assistant Secretary Spaulding says that
after careful consideration of the matter
the department is of the opinion that such
applications cannot be granted, inasmuch as
under the first proviso of said section a
special privilege is conferred upon merchan
dise which, like tobacco, is subject to In
creased duties under the new tariff act of
allowing it to be withdrawn for consump
tion any time prior to Feb. 1 uext upon the
payment of the duty at the lower rates
prescribed by the old tariff act.
RE WEIGH ING NOT PERMISSIBLE.
Mr. Spaulding says further: “Merchan
dise subjeot to increased duty under tho
new tariff act is thus entitled to withdrawal
at the old rates, which are lower than tho
new rates, and consequently it must be held
that withdrawal entries for the consump
tion of such m rchandise made prior to
Feb. 1, 1891, must cover the sane quality
of m rchandise as to weights as if the
entries had been made prior to the date w’ en
the act, of Oct. 1, 1890, to k effect, in other
words the department must decide that
wtien an importer shall elect to withdraw
his merchandise under the first proviso,
reweighing a* the time of withdrawal can
not be allowed, for the reason that the
goods so withdrawn by virtue thereof must
be treated as exclusively subject to the pro
visions of the law iu force prior to the
passage of said act.”

MORLKY ON THE STUMP.
H ADDRESSES HIS CONSTITU
ENTS AT NEWCASTLE.
Balfour’s Arguments in His Recent
Speeches aa Misrepresentations and
Irrelevant—Tteoent Reform Measures
Based on suggestions from the Par|
nellltea— The Responsibility for Coer
cion Put on Balfour.
London, Oct. 20. —John M irloy addressed
bis constituents in Newcastle to-uighL He
said he had promised, when at leisure, to
write a history of England from 1886 to the
next general election, but he dospaired of
being able t > please Secretary Balfour in
so doiug. Secretary Balfour’s arguments
in his recent speeches w ere maiuly misrep
resentations and irrelevant
PARNELLITE SUGGESTIONS.
The speaker reminded Secret iry Balfour
that compensation fur the disturliauce bili
of 18S0, the arrears bill of 1882 and the
tramways bill of 1883 wore all due to
Parnelutes suggestions, and that the laud
bill of 1887 wu-t drafted on tlie basis Mr.
Parnell suggested in 1888. As late as last
July Secretary Balfour said iu the Hou-e
of Commons: “I think the member for
Cork's suggestons worthy of most atten
tive consideration.’’
MOBLEY’S TRIPS fO IRELAND.
Secretary Balfour’s statement that he,
(Mr. Motley) had been only five days iu
Ireland, would not be a bad juke if ti ue, but
it was absolutely untrue. In addition to
bearing the burden of the whole Irish de
partment during that session of parliament,
doing laborious and incessant work on the
home rule and laud bills, and taking part in
two election coutosts in Newcastle, during
his term of office he had visited Ireland at
Easter and Whitsuntide, aud tho (Inal visit
itself exceeded five days.
COERCIVE GOVERNMENTS.
Secretary Balfour was responsible for the
exceptional coercive government, and he
ought still lie ire to supervise it ou the spot.
He wanted to defer replying to the Bel
fast strictures until he hail time to sift
them, merely remarking that the liberals
had appointed a commission of inquiry into
the Belfast riots, while Secretary Balfour
had no commission to inquire into the
troubles nt Mitchellstown. lie deni (1 that
he was prejudiced against tho pol.co, and
said that .Secretary Balfour himself had
done him the justice re enMy to say he hod
never said a word against them.
EXCESSIVE FORCE IN TIPPERARY.
Mr. Morloy referred to his previous asser
tion that the police had used excessive foroe
in Tipperary. It was not bodily injury
which Seer tary Balfour said sticking
plaster would mend, but the sting of insult

GRANVILLE ON TQa TARIFF.
He is Sure That This Country Will be
the Great Bt Sufferer.
London, Oct. 20.—1n a speech at New
castle to-day Lord Granville said that the
tones pretended that they were confident
of the result of appealing to tbe country,
yet they delayed dissolving parliament as
long as possible. Referring to tne new
American tariff, -he said: “Exaggerated
language has been used with regard to tho
McKiu.ey tariff, which will not injure
us as mucn as was expected.
It is certain to be more injurious to Amer
ica herself.” He added that the measure
would toll against American farmers and
ar isans, and event lady against American
manufacturers. He supposed that
America still desired to export, but she
would only get her exports paid for by
imports. But for Canada’s pro
tective duties it would be impossi
ble to prevent wholesale smuggling. The
speaker said he wished particularly to ex
press the opinion that tho new law was nut
enacted out ot hostiliiy to England. After
generally cen’uring tne government for Its
policy toward Ireland he strongly con
demned the practice of “shadowing" from
which he said, “even the felon in England is
exempt.”
Mr. Chaplin, president of the board of
agriculture, speaking at Stafford, sa.d that
although the McKinley and meat inspection
laws were intended to bring pressure upon
him to admit American cattle freely, it
would be his duty to go straight on as if
these measures had never been passed.
