The testimony of Tlioa. Smith un doubtedly caused the uriest of Ellis Young for the murder of Lieut.

Several of our people are quite indign&te over the turning of states evidence of Smith. ' The Italian frateruity of Troy N. Y., numbering one hundred and fifty called a meeting on March 22nd for the purpose of protesting against the recent mob in New Orleans.

A family of beggers passed through town on Monday en-rout.e» so they said, for Binghamton N. Y. There were six in the troup and they were equiped with a team of horses and a large covered wagon.

The Ilenovo News is authority for the statement that a man and woman who obtained a marriage license a year ago have been living together at North Bend ever since under the mistaken idea that the license document was a marriage certificate.

The citizens of New Orleans, who took jiart in (lie massiicreaing of the eleven Italians, on Saturday March 14th, are being congratulated and condemned by thb people of the United States. In many instances tbe news was received favorable and so far as we are concern-* ed we think those people pret ty level headed. An organization like the Mafia should be put down and out of existence* in a civilized country like the U. S. This or ganization is uiade up chiefly of con victs of Italy who come to this coun try to j;et rid of prosecution, hence, they are a dangerous class to be in our midst and the sooner they meet their justly deserving reward, whether by the court or the "juob law" the better the people of our homo soil will like it.

LONDON, March 22.— The police are beginning to look upon the mutilated remains of the woman re cently lound in the Regents Canal as another of Jack the Ripper's vie" time. It was found by a bargeman near Cambridge Heath bridge, Hack ney. The Regents canal runs close to the outskirts of W hiteclmpel, and Drs. Aveling and White both gave the opinion that it had been quite two months in the water. The whole of the intestines had beeu cut out, and the right leg was also missing, but this might have been caused by the body being dragged along by a barge's rope, as it was getting entangled in the tow rope of a barge which brought the body to the surface. The only clue the police have is the statement of a woman named Lloyd, who thought the remains to be those of her sister, but would not swear to the identifi cation. The body is described as [ that of a comely, well-built female, 5 feet 2 inches high. Part of the breast bone had been hacked through At the inquest last week an open verdict was returned. The authori ties are trying to keep the matter very qfiiet. Arrested a- Last. The old adage tbat "murder will out" liftd another exemplification this week. After nearly twenty seven years Ellis Young of Jackson township was arrested on Monday night lor the murder of Lieutenant Robinson in July 1864. Our older readers are perfectly ftimiliar with the circumstances. But for the benefit of some of our young er ones will briefly state them. Lieut. Robinson with a squad of soldiers started out on a Saturday night for the purpose of arresting deserters and those who had been drafted but failed to respond. When passing along the highway near the residence of Peter Laubach dee'd. on Raven Creek, they heard some men approaching and Robinson stepped out and called upon them to halt. Flis request was answered by a volly from three guns in the hands of the halted party. One load took effect upon Robinson who fell mort ally wounded. His comrades were surprised and somewhat thrown in to confusion. They immediately went to Robinson's relief and the firing party ran down the road and escaped. The wounded Lieutenant was carried to Peter Laubach's and the next day taken across to Luzerne county where he died at the resi dence of A. N. Harvey. There was a great deal of excitement occasion ed by this foul murder but the of ficials of Columbia county never made any effort to seek out and ar rest the perpetrators. Time has dragged its weary pace along until at last, the brothers of the murdered officer have succeeded in «ratherintr i sufficient evidence to warrant them : in moving in the matter of avenging their brother's death, Lieut. Robin son was a gallant officer in the 7th. l'a. Reserves and a brother of the present Sheriff and Deputy of Lu zerne county. A warrant was sworn out at Wilkes-Barre and on Monday evening the oflicers came to I'lootnsburg and were driven to Jackson U p., by R. C. Buckalew, (who by the way was one of Robin son's squail when lie was shot) and to the home of Ellis Young who was arrested while in bed. He was brought to Bloomsburg and lodged in jail about four o'clock on Tues day morning for sate keeping. The officers took their prisoner to Wilkes- Barre on the 10:51 train on Tuesday where he had a preliminary hearing and was committed to jad to awaitl the action of the graud jury which will take place in Luzerne county Tuesday the 7th day of April. A number of witnesses from Columbia county were taken along to Wilkes- Barre to appear before the magis trate at the hearing. It is reported that Miner Smith one of the party who was with Young at the time of the shooting has silica died, but we are iuformed by parties that he is alivo and living in Bradford county. It should be a source of congratu lation not only to the prosecution but a'so to Young to know that the trial will not take place at Blooms burg where oil the angry passions anil prejudice of the war period would likely to be re-kindled by a re cital of these stirring events. The cause of justice would not be as well subserved by a trial here. Young is a prosperous farmer, aged about 55 years, and has a wife and one son. —Bloomsburg Republican. six MAFIAS WERE GUILTY. I Detective O' Ma I ley Talks to a Mem phis Reporter. MEMPHIS, March 22.—Detective O'Malley, of New Orleans, is at a hotel in this city, accompanied by his wife and child, registered under an assumed name, lie said to a re porter: "I hid in New Orleans for two days after the lynching.

It is my intention to re liim to A'ew Orleans next Wednes day or Thursday. il I will certainly expose the work ing of the Mali a. I have been in the employ of the Matrangas faction of the Mafia for six years, and in my capacity as detective have plenty of information which I am sure 110 other man has." O'Malley declined to sav a»iy-- Miing in connection with the bribing of the jury, except that he thinks they were bribed.
