An officer came up, but receiving a bul let wound in the car, fled. Hennessey’s assassins escaped m the darkness. Hennessey’s body was completely rid dled with bullets. He was conveyed to hospital where he died Thursday morning from the effects of the wounds. Chief Hennessey was the most ppou. lar chief of police New Orleans had ever had. He had incurred the enmity of the notorious Mafia gang by his in domitable afforts to bring-them to jus tice, and it was an open secret that the gang had determined ontaking liisjife. The murdered man had won the grati tude of the good citizens in New Orleans by his efforts to exterminate the Italian murder society, and his death caused a wave of indignation to pass over the city. A citizens’ committee of safety was organized to aid the police in breaking up the org anization, and to find and hang the murderers of Hennessey. They were arrested, tried, anil ac quitted and the lynching followed. RECHRISTENED AUGUSTA. - Jones.

THERE IS MORE YET- There is more to follow in the un heard of extravagance practiced by the late republican congress, and Mr. Watterson proceeds tc tell how it will follow thus : The appropriations of the Fifty- first congress exceed one thousand million of dollars. For one year they exceed $525,- 000,000. . But that is not all ; laws have been passed which will demand still larger appropriations. The bill to refund the direct tax calls for $15,000,000, for which no piovision has been made. The sugar bounty will take ten millions from the Treasury. No ap propriation for this bounty has been made. Here are two items requiring $25, 000,000 in addition to $1,000,000,000 already appropriated. Further than this, the pension list is growing enormously and-will pro- oably require $175,000,000 when the next congress meets.

The scene in and about Clay statue this morning brought to mind very forcibly and vividly the popular and ominous uprising of tbat of September nearly 16 years ago. Ten o’clock has not yet struck and a vast multitude has already congregated on Canal street almost filling up tbe large space from curb to curb on each side of the boulevard. Just on the stroke of ten a shout went up from the people stationed at St. Charles street, and a number of gentle men, among whom Mr, W. S. Parker- son, Mr. John C. Wickliff and others who signed the oall came marching along and began walking round and round the railing of tbe Clay monu ment. The rallying cry, “Fall in! Fall in!’ was the cry, and amidst deafening shouts several of tbe crowd formed tbe procession, which went around tbe railing several times. “Hurrah for Parkerson!” “Hurrah for Wickliffel” Get inside the railing and give ua a speech.” These and other cries made up a confusion of noise, among which the angry tone was significantly pre- dominat The space inside the railing was occu pied by a dense crowd. . COME DOWN FROM THOSE STEFS, was tbe request, “and let Mr. Parker- son and Mr. Wickliffe get there.” The crowd obeyed with alacity and soon the speakers had their positions of vantage A rush was made for the narrow gate, and in a minute there stood a paced mass of humanity under the image of the immortal Clay. The scene from tbat altitude was imposing.

Young!, man near Augusta is a Pluckly Shooter. Augusta, Ga., March VL—Three men lost their lives in a bloody quarrel near Maxey’s, and a white lady, trying to save her husband’s life, had a narrow escape. Harvey Smith is a young planter liv ing near Maxey’s, who was married bat a few months ago, and was making his first crop. He had among his employ* a negro named Byrd Hatton, who was extremely insolent, so much so that Smith had to discharge him. While Batten was packing up to leave, Smith went down to his cabin to settle with him. Hatten met the approach of his employer by a discharge from his gun, whereupon Smith drew his revolver and fired, striking Hatton in the shoulder. The appearance of Bill Hatten to aid his brother, made it two to. one. The next shot from Smith pierced Bill Hatton’s heart, and tbe next struck Byrd Hatton in the abdomen. Smith fell in a swoon from his own wounds, when Byrd ^Hatton run up on him, and securing his revolver, shot at him with it, and wss about to fire a sec ond shot, when his arm was held by the I search for O’Mally is now going on. young brides hand, who had been at- 1 traded to the spot by tbe firing. He was in the act of turning on her when he was caught in the stalwart arms of a negro named Scott. The desperate ne gro was carried into the cabin and died from his own wouuds a little later. The indignant citizens, about two thousand in number, reached the par ish prison at 10:30 o’clock After a demand on tbe jail it waB-sur- rendered but not before a slight resist ance. LIST OF THE KILLED. Later.—11:16 a. m.—The crowd that collected around tbe parish prison must have numbered ten thousand. The men shot and killed in the yard of the prison were: Scoflder. Romero. Conutz. Caruso. Gerachi. Macheca. Nonasterio. Marcbisi. Incardona. And Matranga. Those hung were Solizei, to a lamp post, and Bagnetta to a tree in the middle ground in front of the prison. Both were riddled with bullets. The crowd is now dispersing, but HISTORY OF THE CRIME. Chief of Police Hennessey, of New Orleans, was murdered in that city on tbe night of Wednesday, October 15, 1890, about midnight. He was on bis way home, and within HOW TO BUILD A CITY.

SHE RESPONDS TO THE GOVER NOR’S CALL. The Old County Takes the Lead for the World’s Fair and Tells Governor Northen that She Is Ready to Aid. The Fountain City Preempts the Title of the Electric City. • A visit to Augusta impresses upon onethefact that electric railways as spurs to activity are permanently suc cessful. The city, which, if her admi rers will pardon the camior, a year or .so ago was as sleepy and unenergMticas a village in Spain, has bestiried herself under the electric influences of her rail way company and is actually beginning to rush. Her trade is rap idly pushing beyond the territory that justly belongs to her anil her merchants are fighting for every inch of ground that is within her reach. The electric railway, which is held responsible ft this change of heart, is undoubtedly a good thing; to be sure the cars ail seem to run on the line which don’t take you to your destination, hut there is some onsolation in the fact that if you did want to go some other way, there would be plenty of curs to take you. Augusta, like Athens, is waking up to the importance of paved streets and the subject is being agitated by the best citizens who feel tbat in her strides forward the city must not be handicap ped by sloppy, muddy thoroughfares, than whieh no more disheartening and discouraging spectacle presents itself to the average visitor. Our own dear Charlie, he, with the Cheeryble to his name, will not long be able, unless all signs fail, to point to Augusta with tri- upbant finger aud exclaim : “Bee how she enjoys wallowing in tiie mud, go thou and do likewise.” Augusta is a beautiful city and her >eople are the most hospitable on earth. 3er business men are clever and ener getic aud her manufactures carry her fame over the State. The immense foundry and machine shops of Mr. George R. Lombard are wonders in their way to the uniui titled. Every class of iron and brass work i. is turned out by this establishment and its reputation is not bounded by State lines. Tbe lumber trade too is something enormous, many immense yards and mills lining all the railroads 'that lead into the city. Messrs. Jesse Thomp son & Co. have every convenience for turning out all kinds of wood work, while in their yards are millions of feet of thoroughly seasoned lumber ready for immediate shipment. They have a great trade throughout Georgia and Carolina. The Augusta Lumber Co. shows evi denceof prosperity in the handsome new offices finished finished beautifully in Georgia pin**, their own liaiidiword, and in the scene of busy activity which their mammoth yards present. Their machinery is the best and their work men skilled in their various depart ments. The Perkins Lumber Co. owns and controls two large yards thoroughly stocked with machinery and material for all kinds of wood work. Their bus-, iness is thoroughly advertised by their superior work and by the picture of a loaded lumber car so'familiar to news paper readers. In marble and granite work Mr. The odore Marwalter is known from pne end of Georgia to the other. Some of the finest monuments in Georgia cemeteries were cut iu his yard. He is uow engag ed upon a beautiful and costly memorial in Lexington granite to be placed over the grave of Gen. Howell Cobb in Oco nee cemetery. The model of a bust of Alexander Stephens just finished by one of bis skilled workmen is so true to life tbat is almost startling. Mr. Mark wai ter’s yard is thoroughly equipped lor all classes of work, and among bis work men are several who are really artists. In Oconee cemetery are two beautiful monuments erected to tbe memory of Mr. Ferdinand Phinizy and Mr. Harry Phinizy which were cut in the yard of Mr. C. F. Kohlruss, a man whose skill has produced not only monuments but beautiful statues. Mr. Kohlruss has every appliance for turning out tbe fi nest work, his reputation is firmly mad** and bis prices are the closest consistexi with first class work. The Messrs.' Jesup Bros, are placing on tbe market something tbat should be used by every ginner in the country, a spark arrester that is perfect in its ac tion and thoroughly well made. They are having au immense trade in these valuable adjuncts to a gin and are push ing them for all they are worth. Augusta is teeming with other indus tries tbat would require days to visit. They are her life blood and spread bet fame throughout the State. Among her hotels, tbe Arlington is looked after by tbe proprietor, Mr. L. B. Pettyjohn, and is thoroughly well kept, to the ordinary newspaper man tbe last scene in the traain (that at tbe captain’s office, so to speak) is a little startling in the effect it has upon his not too pbletbroic pocket-book, but as Bill Nye says, we will let tbat pass. Taken all all in all there is noubt about it, Au gusta bas a move on her. Old Clarke leads off. And has notified the Governor of Georgia that: she will be represented at the convention to decide about having a display at the World’s Fair. No sooner bad the news reached AthenB than Governor Northen had issued a call for the counties to send del egates to a convention to be held to de termine whether or not the Empire State should be represented on the grounds of the Columbian exposition than it had been acted, upon by the county Agricultural club. Thanks to Dr. E. Dorsette Newton, once more. THE PAPERS DRAWN. When seen by a Banner reporter yes terday and asked what Clarke would have to say to Governor Northen’s call Dr. Newton said, “The thing is fixed,” and tossed the reporter a paper telling of the action of the Agricultural club. Here it is: Office Farmers’ Club of Clarke County, Athkfs, Ga., March 13, 1891, Whereas, his honor Governor W. J. Northen has issued an official call for a convention in At lanta May 6tb, for the consideration of the means to be adopted by the people of Georgia to have an exhibit of its re sources, agricultural, industrial and commercial at the Chicago fair, 1893. The secretary and vice-presidents of the Farmers’ Club of Clarke County are hereby notified of their selection as delegates to said convention and a full attendance is earnestly solicited. Clarke county as a county should be fully rep resented at the Chicago fair. Edwin D. Newton, President. clarle is in front. There are something of considerable significance in the fact that Clarke county is leading the whole State in the matter of preparing for an exhibit at the World’s fair. For. a time the question seemed to hang fire because tbe constitution bar red the tbe appropriation of any money for such a purpose. Who but Mr. Andrew J. Cobb, of Clarke county should find that a part of the rental of the Western & Atlantic railroad could be used without violating any provision of the State constitution ? THE MYSTERIOUS ART. HYPNOTISM DEFINED BY ONE WHO KNOWS MUCH OF IT. Upon the plan suggested by Mr, Cpbb Governor Northen issued bis call *for a convention of delegates, and now act ing upon that call the county of Clarke is first to say she will be at roll call. A letter to this effect was sent to the Governor yesterday. It speaks well for Clarke. A Girl Worth Having. After reading Mr.Gray’s experience in the plating business, 1 sent $3. to the Lake Electric Co., Englewood, Ill. for a Plater, and cleared $21 in a week. Isn’t this pretty good for a girl? There is tibleware and jewelry to plate at every house; then, why should any person be poor or out of employment with such an opportunity at hand. A SUBSCRIBER.. It Map lie Unconstitutional. Sacramento, Cal., March 14—The anti-Chinese bill has been passed in as sembly by a vote of 49 to 60.

YPNOTISM S This word is of Greek origin, having for its root a word which signifies sleep. We have had various names in tb°> proceeding years* such as mesmer ism, biology, electro-biologoy, and an imal magnetism. The meaning is the same, in each case. It has been long known, that some persons in certain conditions have a controlling influence over the actions, emotions, desires and appetites of others. No one, we believe, professes to know how this can be done. Most of those who are gifted with the power of exerting this mysterious influ ence, called by so many strange names candidly affirm that they know abso lutely nothing about it, they only know that they do possess this wonder-work ing power. Itisveryeasy to cry out it is all humbug, deception, slight-of- hand necromancy, and that the manip ulator is possessed of as many demons as was Mary Magdalene, and there is no Apostle conveniently near to cast them out. This ignorant, sweeping condem nation before investigation, is the way of the world. It is new and tb jnany unheard of; it is contrary to their ex,*- ' perience; and it is therefore, false. ft was thus, that men reasoned about the Christion Religion. About vaccina tion; about steam as a motive Power; and about the electric Telegraph. No one, however, who has had an oppor tunity, under favorable circumstances, of investigating the facts, with regard to hypnotism, can deny them. 3!he writer of the lines, when a small boy, witnessed, in one of the principal cities of Virginia, some remarkable feats, in what was then called mesmerism, per formed by a Frenchman—one Monsieur De Bonville. The exhibitions were continued night ly, for several weeks before crowded houses, and iu the midst of the greatest excitement. Many who went on the stage as skeptics, and to throw con tempt on the performance, were found easy subjects, and were made ' to cut up such fantastic tricks before high Heaven as did make the angels weep. V personal friend of this scribe was of this number; besides, he was cured of the tobacco habit. We saw him throw the filthy Indian weed from him with prodigious energy and with expressions of loathing and disgust. The following morning we called at his office, and interviewed^him, when he affirmed, that he could not en dure the odor of tobacco; that he had lost all desire for it; and-that if he ever indulged in the habit again, he would have to acquire it anew, with all its re laxing and sickening consequences. At the time of which we are writing, anesthetics were unknown; and fre quently patients who submitted to pain ful surgical operations were made stu pid by drink. Monsieur De Bonville told the medical faculty, chat a patient, under his influence, would be either indifferent or insensible to pain, under the surgeons knife; and a test case was made, on a poor fellow, wasting away, in the wards of the hospital, from a fleshy tumor on his shoulder. The patient was brought on the stage in a public ball, before an immense, and infidel audience, stripped bare to the waist, mesmerized, and turned over to the surgeon. The tumor was skilful ly, and quickly removed, the wound was dressed, the clothing replaced on miserable subject. The enchanter then disenchanted the victim, who smilingly returned his thanks, and declared tbat he was not conscious of any pain, when tbe operation was performed and knew nothing about it. We saw and heard all' this and therefore cannot doubt. Surely there are more things Heaven and earth than . were ever STiLL REJOICING. Clark’s Lightning Liniment will relieve the painful tor ture of Rheumatism in the joints muscles. It should be well rubbed in with the band, and the part covertu with a piece of flannel. The pain will cease with tbe first application, and its continued use will eflect a marvelous cure. This remedy needs but a trial to convince the most skeptical tbat it is a wonderful preparation.

Chicago, March 14.—A rousing recep tion was given by the Cook County Democratic club Friday night to the 101 Democratic members who succeeded in electing Gen. John M. Palmer United states senator, after voting solidly for him'154 times. Farmer Cockrell made-an address. He said he had not come back to the Demo- oxatie party, and would not until it be came the party of Hie -people. He de clared, however, nehad always intended to vote for Palmer, provided the fanners could not elect their own man. In con clusion, Mr. Cockrel said impressively: “Now, on behalf ef 4,000,000 farmers, I wish to warn yon that you cannot make Grover Cleveland tbe next presi dent of the United States.” A large portion of tbe audience appa rently Heard only the words “Cleve land” and “next president,” and yelled with delight and intensity. American Meat. Berlin, March 14.—The Reichsan zeiger (official) replying to a number of complaints received as to tbe failure to use American salted meat»in the Ger man navy, said that the experience with those meats hitherto had been very un satisfactory. The pecking was defect ive, the barrels weak and badly made, and the meat sinewy, toe fat and of in ferior quality when compared with Eu ropean meats. dreampt of in our philosophy. N’impobte. A Proof of Merit. When a remedy proves itself a cure for the very worst phases of blood poi son, it stands to reason that minor ef fects of bad blood will rabidly disappear if the remedy is used in time. No reme dy in the world has so good reputation at home or abroad as a care for all stages of blood poison asBBB (Botan ic Blood Balm). Benj. Morris, Atlanta Ga., writes:" I suffered years from syphilitic blood poi son which refused to be cured by all treatment. Physicians pronounced it a hopeless case. I had no appetite, I had pains in my. hips and joints and my kid- reys were diseased. My throat was ul cerated and my breast a mass of run ning sores. In this condition, I com menced a use of B B B. It healed every ulcer and cured me completely within two months. Robt. Ward, Maxeys,Ga.,writes:“My disease was pronounced a tertiary form of blood poison. My face, head and shoulders were amass of corruption,and finally the disease began eating my skull bones. My bones ached; my kid neys were deranged, I lost flesh and strength, and life became a burden. All said Lmust surely die, but nevertheless, when I had used ten bottles of B B B I was pronounced sound and well. Hun dreds of scars can now be seen on me. I have now been well over twelvo monthe. A. P. Burson, Atlanta, Ga., writes “I had 24 running ulegrs on one leg and six on the]other, and felt greatly^pros- trated.
