THE DREAD MAFIA, How the Members Wreak Vengeance on Their Betrayers. ‘The Cincinnati Enquirer gives the following interesting sketch of the dread Mafia organiza- tion, to which the assassination of Superiu- tendent Hennessy of New Orie&ns is attributed: La Mafia is @ secret organization com- Posed almost entirely of Sicilians, and was founded by an Italian cut-throat named Mafia | America and San Francisco, The time of his e at Palermo 100 years ago. The members are for the most part crimiuals and counterfeiters, and hesitate at no atrocity. The inhuman eraelty of some of the Mafia agents is almost beyond human credence, and savors of the brutal barbarity of the middle ages, Vincenzo Arditi burned a victim's house in New Orleans hoping to burn the owner at the same time. He was sent to the penitentiary, organized branch of the Matin—for, housebeeaki z pur. poses only—among his feliow prisoners, go out, went to St. Louis and murdered a foe of the Mafia there. He went to Chicago, opened a saloon, en- ticed an obnoxious fetlow-countryman into it and stabbed Lim im the back with a knife so long that it stuck out on both sides of the dying man ashe fell to the floor. He came to New York, opened a store, tired it to get the insur- ance, and was unsuccessful. He vowed ven- geance and La Mafia on a fellow-countryman Whom he believed instrumental in causing his defeat, He invited his victim to a private apartment to have a glass of beer, offered a beaker with one hand, and with the other, by one stroke of the razor, laid the poor wretch's face open from his forehead to the point of his chin. When the wounded man, almost by a miracle, recovered and was able to ieave the Chambers-street Hospital ho was afraid to com- Plain against Arditi, who went scott free. In October, 1583, Antonio Flaccomio was as- sasginated in the shadow of the Cooper Union building, in New York city. Flaccomio had been adjudged a traitor to the organization, of which at one time he was prominent mem- ber, and it was said that Carmeilo Farach, who was murdered in the Staten Island woods four years before, had been enrolled in the same society. Ibe unjustifiable killing of Farach was one of the causes that led to Flac- comio’s removal, but the cause of his assassina- tion was the testimony that he gave shortly before his assassination against some of his countrrmen, who were counterfeiters, as well as brother members of La Mafia. biaccomio was sentenced to death, and two brothers, Carlo and Vincenzo Quarrara, were selected to Kili him. The former plunged the stilletto into the doomed man’s heart. Signor Kaftlo of New York city, the I Cousui, is autuority for the statement t first that was really known of t the beginning o town of Silini, Sicily, where a fumily of nine named Giavanni, of considerable social po- sition, were murdered in as many weeks. ‘Ihe father went first, being found at his very door- step. Seven days later the mother followed. Her dead body was found in almost tne same location as that of her husband. The author- ities were unsuccessful in tracing the mur- derer or murderers, and several days after- ward the bodies of the two eldest children were found dead in bed. The others followed in regular order until the family was com- pletely annibilated. A tough character of the town named Sipoli was arrested on suspicion and confessed. tie revealed the existence of the order and said that Giavanni and his fami had incurred the anger of the band by be ing a criminal, who was a Maiia, to the author- ties. Sipoli had beea instructed, among others, to commit the murder. He was tried, au although the best counsel employed to de- feud him on a plea of insani the Maiia he ‘Was convicted and sent to prison for life. Several witnesses for the prosecution were afterward murdered by the Matia. ‘he gov. ernment, becoming aware of the lawless nature of the organization, at once took measures to have it suppressed, but the efforts proved futile. La Mafia continued to grow. A po! Officer in 1863, in Milan, discovered a m Which amember ef La Mafia comid be kr It consisted of # small sear immediately under at the e order was at the present century in the the ear, caused by burning. In this way great pumbers of crimmmals were afterward run down ead brought te justice. Lune society then gave up the mark, and the police oilicer one year ater was found dead,stabbed to the heart. La Matia is a modern organization based on medieval sentiment. It is related to the Ca- | morra of Naples.

Six bullets whizzed by him. None of them bit him. No complaint was made to the police. Yet within a few| months everybody who bad taken part in| the attempted assassination was himselt assas- sivated. A Mafia had attacked a Matiosa.

The Picctotto is initiated into the Secrets of the contraternity. He merely gets a handful of sous from the Camorrista, He lives iu hope of reaching the third grade and some day, by means of an artistic stab or unusually long term in prison, he is advanced to the sacred band.

They dare not testify against him much less accuse him. These Maia outrages crop out im various Parts of the country from time totime. A year ago Luigi Cardono was horribly beaten and maimed by Pedro and Nartin Ubarlet at the Repeto ranch in Los Angeles county, Cal. Cardono plucked up courage and brought suit for damages, when the facts came out of the Mafia connection. The vengeance of La Mafia and the persistency with which they hunt dowa their victims, following them over the four quarters of the globe, is something almost in- credible, Some twelve or fourteen years ago the mayor of a town ia ny Oe murdered by wn to belong to a malefactor named Meli, La Mafia, The criminal was arrested and ee pene but before his trial he escaped and shortly afterward tock another life, After the second crime even the intluence of La Mafia, it was feared, was not suiicint to save him from pun- ishment.

Artaud, who recently died in Paris, when they discovered a considerable for- tune carefully hidden away in the interior of a common plaster of paris reproduction of the famous Venus of Milo. The history of the sud- den find is curious and entertaining. Mme. Artaud died without making a will, and, as sho had no notary, her children and grandchildren appealed to a financial adviser of the deceased who used occasionally to put her money out in stock exchange specuiations. That tho old Indy had left a fair share of lucro was certain, and as not astiver nora bank note could be found anywhere in her rooms, the heirs came tothe natural conclusion that the financial agent must have been intrusted by Mme. Artaud before she made her exit from this world, Tho agent declared in the most positive manner that he haa received nothing fora long time from Mme. Artaud, who, fecling her end ap- proacling, gave up bource specutatione, This did not satisfy the he:rs, who plump'y accused the agent of having appropriated what did not beloug to him. but as they had no proofs aga im, they were unabie to begin legal proceedings,” They according!y set to work to divide the furniture and general be- longings of the deceased between them. ‘The dining room and selon chairs, tables and trap- pings were in emp.re style and worth from £300 to £400, but, as it would be impossible to obtain more than half their value, the discon- tent among the heirs increased. A lottery of the effects having been organized, an old statue representing the Goddess of Love fell to one of the daughters of the deceased, who was about to break it with vexation, when one of her relatives proposed to examine it to sce if by any chance it were arare work of art. The base of the statue was covered over underneath with oi] cloth, and when the covering was re- moved out tumbled a choice collection of bank notes, bonds, securities and obligations, the whole amounting in value to about £2,000, The plaster of paris Venus will be piously pre- served by the family now as an emblem of luck and a happy heirloom. +00 ____ TWO WOMEN TI ET AGENTS, Prospect That Others May Be Em- ployed on the Elevated Road. From the New York Sun. The recent appointment of two women as ticket agents at tho Boerum place station of the Kings County Elevated railway has led others to apply for places. They are told there are no vacancies at present, but their names often are taken and reserved for future refer- ence. In the absence of General Manager William T. Goundie a representative of the company said yesterday that positively none of the men would be turned away to make room for women, “But,” it was asked, “is it to be the rule hereafter that women will be appointed to iil vacancies as they may occur’ “There 18 no reason why women should not “We believe they will prove honest and cxpable.” The ofticial, however, would not commit him- self as to whether or not this was to be the There are draw- ks to the employment of women, A ticket agent on an elevated rond, as everybod knows, has often to deal with some pretty ugly custom The two women who are now act- in Ket agents are uot deterred by this consideration s for drunken mei Agent A.

C., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1890-TEN PAGEs, PARIS TO LIVE IN. Essentially a Town of Middle-Class People—Rents for Dwellings, utation for wealth the French capital bas ac- quired,” remarks the Pall Mall Gazctle, “There are in this capital altogether 81,291 houses, di- ‘vided into 1,141,955 tenancies, of which 28,159 are workshops aud manufactories, 303,323 are shops and places of business, and 810,468 are apartments or ‘hotels’ for human habitation. Half of these apartments or flats do not bring in a higher rental than £12 per annum. That isthe average sum that a workman will have to pay for two diminutive rooms on the fifth, sixth, or seventh story of a crowded tenement, where the only advantage altitude gives is the chance of breathing some of the fresh air of heaven. Of flats ranging in rent from £40 to £60 a year there are 32,974; from £60 to £160 rental, 39,775; from £160 to £400 rental, 12,222; from "£400 to £800 a year, 1,980; while of inkabited houses with a rental of over £200 there are only 470. Shop rents in the busy parts of the town are enormously dear. “It will thus be seen that, with perhaps the xeeption of the districts of the Faubourg Saint-Germain, the Champs Elysees, and the Pare Monceau, Paris is essentially a city of middle-class people and workmen, who in the matter of rent, taxes and octroi have to pay pretty stiffly for the privilege of hving in it, rge blocks of buildings belong not to private individuals, but to insurance companies and banking establishments, who charge what they like and do not care much whether a shop oran apartment stands on their books empty for a time because an applicant refuses to pay @n excessive rent, feeliug sure that soon they will be able to extort their own terms, It is estimated that the gross rental of Paris reaches the respectable total of £30,000,000 a year, while ie value of the whole of the property in the French capital, dwelling houses. shops aud manufactories, 1s put down at £440,000,000, At the present moment there are nearly 49,000 places of business or flats yacant, or about 2,000 more than at this time two years ago, ‘Taking into consideration the convenience iven in exchange for the rental, the average ondon residen:, with his compact house and for his money, the Daily Jelegraph thinks, than the Frenchman in a similar social position in France, packed up in a small flat on the fifth floor of a tenement for which he pays trom £50 to £100 a year. Much of the Parisians’ love of cafes and open-air cafe concerts is duo tothe cribbed and confined apartments in which they have to make their homes.” sobdbthedhenere Fes ROMANCE OF A CABBAGE, The Part Played by the Unpoetic Vege- table in Making Two People Happy. From the Sen Francisco Chronicle, Romances and the rose go hand in hand and the dainty violet and the modest lily have often opened the portals of love, but it has been left to California to produce the only cabbage that ever led to areal romance that wound up ina wedding. Eivbteen months ago, according to the un- questionable statement of Granville W.
