It rose and wreaked a terrible vengeanos upon tbe Sicilian assassins Who relentlessly slew David C. Hennessey, aud though there are eleven men dead who were happy over their victory in the greatest criminal trial this city has ever seen, the work of blood was accomplished without unnecessary disorder. It was not an unruly midnight mob. It simply was a sullen, del erniined body of citlionswho took Into their bands what Justice had lgnomliiiously failed to do. The ohluf of police was slain on Oct.
15, and that very night the evidence began to accumulate showing that his death had been deliberately planned by a secret tribunal, and carried out boldly and successfully by tbe tools of the conspirators. The trial lasted twenty-five days, and thongh the evidence seemed conclusive, the Jury currently oliarged with having been tampered with, failed to convict. A body of cool beaded men lawyers, doctors, merchants, and political leaders all persons of influence and social standing, quietly met and decided that some action must be taken, and the people's justice, swift and sure, visited upon those whom the jury bad neglected to.punish. Clthsena began gathering at the Clay statue in response to an appeal issued, calling a meeting to take steps to remedy tbe failure of justice in the Hennessey esse. The appeal was sinned by many of the best citizens.
soon numbered 8,000 men. They were quiet but determined. Their leaders seemed to be W. S. Parkerson, a prominent lawyer, and John C.
Wiokliffe, a well-known newspaper man. Tbe crowd kept marching round the statue, and as newcomers arrived tbey responded to the shout "Fall In." All traitio was soon stopped. When the meeting was finally called to order, Mr. Parkerson addressed the crowd, lie said once before he had ad dressed a grand mass meeting assembled to discuss matters vital to tbe Interests of the community (the De Trobriande outrage), and again he faced the people to denounce the most infamous act in their history of legal transactions. That was the fludluH of tbe jury.
He went on to claim that he was there as a good citizen. The crowd griw impatient aud a confu sion of cries arose. "This is the time for action, not talk." "Let's go." "Come on Wickliffe" etc Soon a general movement was made and the crowd hurried toward the parish prison. Someone yelled, "Shall we get oar guns?" "Yes, get your guns," said Parkerson Amid cheers the crowd tramped toward the prison along Canal and Rampart streets, ninny arming themselves on the way. When the jail was reached the wooden door was broken in.
Two men in the door prevented anyone entering ex cept those who carried gun aud the intruders rushed into tbe lobby and de manded of the custodian the keys to the gates, which were given np quickly. The cells at once were opened by the vigi lantes. A wagon filled with policemen dashed np to the scene but they were driven away amid a shower of mud, and did not seem anxious to charge through the crowd. Eleven of the nineteen men who bad been indicted for the assassination of Chief Hennessey were killed as follows: Mannel Polietz, Pietro Monastro, Antonio Scaffedi, Joseph P. -Macheca, Antonio Antonio Bagnetto, Frank Romeo, Jnn Caruso; Rocco Gerachi, Charles Frabine and Soreto Comitez.
Polietz was hung to a lamp post at Tremo and St. Ann streets, Bagnetto to a tree in front of the prison. The others were shot in the cells. The jury after viewing the remains of those killed returned tbe following verdict: We, the jury, find that the follow- ing (naming the nine shot) came to their death by gunshot wounds, and that Bag netto and Polieti came to -their death from strangulation. And we direct the coroner to issue a burial certificate.

The' most disastrous and by many thousands of dol lars the most expensive Are ever known i the history of Syracuse broke out her at fl o'clock Saturday morning In the Hogan block. 853 Wt JPayette street, and occupied by Hier l.lghton, cigar manufacturers. As the wind was blowing at the rate of fifty miles an hour at the time the flames spread rapidly, and It was scarcely twenty minutes from the time the fire was first discovered that several of the finest business blocks In the olty were in flames, and many thought the whole business portion of the oity was doomed to des true tion, such an unusual headway bad tbe Are gained in tbe short time it had been raging. In Just thirty minutes from the time the fire was first dUoovered the roof, together with the front and rear walls of the Hogan block fell and this caused the Ire to spread more rapidly than ever, bnrning embers and sparks being burled in everv direction and setting lire to aa joining property on every side. The next building to go after the Hogan block had been totally destroyed was the old United States hotel, a three-story brick struotur snd one of tbe old land marks of the city.
The guests of the bouse all escaped uninjured. From the Hogan block the flames leaped to the opposite side of the Street to the Tracy block at tbe corner or a ninKiin and Fayette streets. This biiildlnz. three-story structure, was built of pressed brick nnd presented a most attractive architectural appearance. It was tarnllv riVatrn'vad.
The next building to suffer the fury of the Sanies were the Newell block and the Fay bnilding adjoining the Tracy block. Tbe Newell block was occupied by Will iam Botz as a saloon and Fred J. Davis as a second-hand clothing store. The Fay bnilding was occupied by Byron D. Briirner, dealer In harness and leather.
All tbe goods in both these buildings were reduced to ashea The flames pressed their way down the street from one block to another, success fully resisting all efforts of the firemen for over five hours, when steamers and other fire apparatus from adjoining cities which had been called on for assistance responded to the call and united their forces with those of the Syracuse com pnnytostop tbe fury of the flames. In this they were quite successful, and at 11:80 had the fire under complete control and confined to one block, wner, with the combined efforts of the several fire de partments, the flames were shortly after 12 o'clock completely squelched. The brick residence of ex-Mayor Willis- ton, which has been one of tbe old land marks of Syracuse for many years, was burned to tbe ground. Tbe Seneca facing Franklin street, a three-story brick, double front a part of the Ayers property, and run by J. W.
Shlpman, is in ruins. Forty-six rooms in the house were occupied, but the occupants all escaped without injury and saved all their effects. Tbe upper floors of the Ayers block were occupted as flats by a half dozen families who lost everything, barely having time to escape with their lives. The Journal building together with nearly all its contents, was also burned. In the six hours' time the fire was raging over a doz -n business blocks and sev eral residences were destroyed.
By the burning of these twelve blocks, tbirty-eix stores with a large percentage of their contents are a mass of rums, tbe losses on which will reach over $1,000,000, and is partially covered by insurance. At 5 a. m. Sunday before the firemen had left tbe scenes of the disasters of the pre vious day, nre broke out in the bt. James Episcopal church, on Lock street near James, and having destroyed the structure spread to the McLennan flats adjoin ing, owned by Peter B.
Mclennan. As soon as the alarm was given the families in lie McLennan flats were panic- stricken, and' there was a wild rush for safety. But little attention was given to save anything except articles of great value. Several families lived in tbe flats. The fire had extended quickly from tbe church to the flats, which burned at a rapid rate, though built of br.ck.
In less than an hour nnd a half both structures were iu ruins, but little of tbe walls of either being left standing. the Standard Watch company occupied the whole of tbe ground floor of the Mc Lennan bnilding and their loss is a heavy one, amounting to between $25,000 and $40,000. The McLennan block was built about three years ago. It was valued at about $30,000 and was insured for $18,000. The Kuperstructure of tbe church cost about and the building and furnishings were insured for $8,000.
It is estimated that tbe loss by fire in Syracuse in the last twenty-four hours will aggregate over $1,200,000. ANOTHER" BIG BLAZE.
