BSPOSITO, THE BRIGAND. The Complete Story of the Italian Bandit’s CrimesiAbductlng Rich Men for Ran- som, Exsortlng Money by Mutilation, Killing a Man and Pinning His Lips to- gatherâ€"Identification. U- About 8 p. m., on the evening of June ‘21, 1876, a band of twelve of the brigands on horseback and on foot, masked, entered a country seat on the St. Nicola road, the re- sidence of M. Fasci Vincenze, aged 71. Two servants were overpowered. The brigands knew that the proprietor was a helpless man, deaf, nearly blind, and enormously fat. They compelled one of the servants to get M. Fasci out of bed and dress him. Then they took all the money and food in the house, mounted M. Fasei on one of his own mules, and 6V1 (JARRIED HIM OFF TO THE MOCXTAXNS. The neighbours were terrorized into refrain- ing from interference. T he authorities pur- sued the culprits promptly and tracked them to a cave in the mountain of Calogero, where several of the gang were captured. One of the prisoners betrayed the hiding place of the captive on the summit of Mount Calo- garo. The place was inaccessible from above, and the entrance from beneath was extreme- 1y difficult. The entrance to the cave had been walled up. \thn rescued M. Fasci was lying exhausted on the bare earth, and by his side was the bread and bottle taken from his own house, As he was, in fact, hermetically scaled up, he must have died soon if not rescued. It was evident that the captors intended to let him die unless the fainin paid ransom. 1 , ,,:,,_L The most brutal crime proved against Esposito, alias Randazzo, was the capture and mutilation of an English curate named John Forester Rose, who was, on Nov. 4, 1876, riding to the railroad station, one kilometre from Lacrera, in company with two young Italians. There were four of the brigands, with double-barrelled carbines, mounted, who took their captives but a short distance, when they set the Italians free, but kept Mr. Rose for ransom. One of the captured Italians subsequently identified (luiseppe Esposito as one of the four bandits. Esposito was picked out from among four persons. It was proved that he had extorted the ransom from the friends of Mr. Rose, by sending to Mrs. Rose first one ear of her husband and then another, threatening to send the whole body piecemeal unless the ransom was paid. Mr. Rose was liberated on payment of the ransom, and his return to England,minus both ears, aroused the British Government to demand that the Italian Government should take action against the bandits. On March 20, 1877, while the real estate owner, Guiccione Guiseppe, aged 69, of Alia, was working in the vineyard of l’ortella del Lupo, together with his brother Anton. aged 52, and J oseph. the son of Anton, all resi- dents of Alia, three masked robbers appear- ed, afoot, armed with double-barrelled guns. One of the robbers was of low stature, stout, with long moustaches and short heard. The first thing the robbers did was to shoot Guiccione dead, to rob him of his watch and a little money, and to with a big skewer, as an indication that he had spoken against somebody. The authori- ties soon fastened the responsibility of the crime upon Esposito. It appeared that the murdered man had said that if what he knew about Esposito’s assassination of Dubolieno Francesco was made public, Esposito would be in the penitentiary. The assassin was recognized by a nephew of the murdered man, who said that he had been to collect the herds on the day of the murder. He saw Esposito with a gun in the neighborhood, and knew of Esposite’s having made threats against his uncle, and saw the murder com- mitted. "wSiiBsrequently the sister of Esposito was no- ticed in the neighborhood inquiring whether her brother had been identified. The companions of the murdered man, among whom was his brother, at first said they did not know who the murderers were. But shortly the brother admitted that he had known all the time that the murderer was PIN HIS LIPS TOGETHER the fugitive Guiseppe EspOSito, alias Ram dazzo, and that he had not revealed it to the police, for fear of endangering his own life ; that Esposito had threatened to assassinate him if he did not keep quiet. He knew that the motive of the murder was revenge for what the dead man had said about Esposito’s previous crimes. ‘ o i 1 At1,:.),,_..:.‘,. Esposito is also convicted of kidnapping and detaining in the territory of Termini Imrese, in May, 1877, Antonio Formusa, who was on a visit to an estate at Dispensa. near Fridda. About 6.30 p. m., four armed men appeared at the house, frightened the servants into non-resistance, took Formusa away, blindfolded, on a mule, and defied the servants to follow or capture them. The authorities organized a hot pursuit, and final- ly secured an attendant of Formusa, named Loreto Gcraci Esposito, who confessed that he had been the organizer of the abduction. He had arranged all the details with the band, had informed them of the right time to make the capture, and said that the bandits told him they were going to take the captive to a wood near Collesano. :I‘he attendants who had been overpower- ed at the house at the time of the capture of Formusa. said that the captors had threaten- ed to burn the house, and reminded them that they had children to feed, and therefore it wofxld be by “Formusa. and identified him. Tfie last thing the robbers did when they went away was to tell the servants to be sure and have the ransom money ready. :I‘hey‘ knew of Es‘po’sito’s. former employment One of the murders proved against Esposito alias Randazzo was that of a farm laborer named Esposito Santa, 26 years old, in June, ‘879, in the district of Marge, formerly St. ‘1»logen, a vast tract almost entirely sown Wth oats. The land is surrounded on all siu-s by high hills abounding in deep grot- ‘ toe: and recesses. Santo’s farm was nearly in tl.e centre of this track. About 500 me- tres dixtant is the precipice of Margi, over~ lookingthe “ great ravine of the hermitage,” and higher above to the right the smoky grotto. Santo’s corpse was found at the pre- cipice Wth a gunshot wound under each ear, another on the breast, a fourth under the left am pit, and two in other parts of the body. Tie chief witness against Esposito Randazzo was one Rinalde Antonio, who overheard a conversation in which Esposito Randazzo cmfessed that he was the murder- er, and sail that on viewing the corpse he thought Sarto wasa worthless man. It was also shown by another witness that Santa had incurred the hatred of the band to which Esposito Bandazzo belonged by firing into them. The hand went boldly to where Santo was and demanded provisions, and he, instead of resionding with bread, gave them a dose of lead. He was several times warn- ed and threstened. An attempt was made to decoy him to the fields, which he frustrat- ed. Then the gang dragged him to the precipice and mlrdered him. Another of tie exploits of Esposito Ran- dazzo was the caoture of Salvatore Sansone of Commatara, dstrict of Termini, and the extortion of £30,0Q0 in October, 1879. San- sone was confined 28 (lays in an artificial grotto, constructedof branches on the sum- mit of a piece of cultivated land. The grotto was about three metres square, and the en- trance was thorough a scuttle. \Vhile im- prisoned here Sansone heard Eposito Ran- dazzo, one of the brigands, spoken of as “the maimed.” Part of Sansone’s ransome money was traced to Esposito Ramlazzo. Another portion of the ransom money was traced to a farmer named Francesco Lomhino, who had been used as an intermediary between the brigands and the Sansone family. But Lom- bino said he had abstracted part of the ran- som before delivering it to the brigands. After a long and patient inquiry that was conducted with considerable expense, the authorities fastened this crime upon the bandits, Espesito Randazzo Guis, Passafnime, Luciano, and Randazzo Nicolo. Espesito es- caped with five of his compadions, and a reward of 25,000 livres was offered for his capture. But he has not since been seen in Detective Mooney says that the identifica- tion at the hearing on Aug. 3 will be com- plete enou h to remove all doubt. He points to the ven atta among the Italians in New Orleans and the shooting of a man supposed to have betrayed the prisoner, as evidence that he has got the right man. As for the charge that he maltreated his prisoner on the voyage, he says he gave him the bridal room on the steamship, and supplied him with broiled chicken and other food from the cabin table, together with wine and cigars, and that the man was only chained, because, conscious, of guilt, he threatened suicide, Ité_1y. Mr. Fuller, of the firm of Coudert Broth- ers, received information that the wife of the prisoner left New Orleans last Monday with her baby for New York for the purpose of identifying the prisoner as Vincenzo Rehello. The woman has had several interviews with the prisoner at Ludlow street jail, and he has received and carressed her and the baby as his wife and child. Marshal Knox has given her a pass which will permit her to visit the jail an hour each day, and she availed herself of it yesterday. The prisoner remains quiet and tractable. Commissioner Orborn has de- decided that he has no power to grant the application of ex-Judge Choate to remove the prisoner to New Orleans for examination. “Had Rather be Kicked." Physicians frequently send patients to take riding lessons, particularly persons whose occupations are of a sedentary charac- ter. One stout, red-faced merchant, a little past middle age, who was so recommended by his doctor, came up to try the prescrip- tion one morning last autumn. He had been on a horse since he was a boy, he said. They put him on an easyâ€"going, tractable horse, and he jogged about the ring for one hour faithfully. Then he dismounted stiflly, winh many grimaces and a few pithy re- marks, \raddled into the office, and declared himself. “That,” said he, “lets me out. I can get exactly the same results for half the money and in half the time, by hiring my porter to kick me. ” - «~4oowu»â€"-â€"â€" THE Archbishop of Tunis, who is an Itali- an, has been requested to resign, and the French Archbishop of Algeria. has been ap- pointed in his place. This has caused a pain- ful impression, as the Italian Archbishop has held his office in Tunis for thirty-eight years, and is himself nearly ninety years of age, though comparatively vigorous. BEST FOR THEM NOT TO RE 131‘. Mow»: BY A PRACTICAL AGRICULTURIST. Suggestions of and for the Season. \Vith this month begins the fall work, and the more promptly it is entered upon the better. The stubbles are p0w~id1ne,_ _and they can be ploughed at once for the fall sowing, thus preventing a growth of weeds from ripening their seeds. Wheat requires a. deep, rich, and mellow soil. All the hard lumps ncn, auu ulcnuw m)“. an any n... ‘. “flux”. should be broken up by the barrow and pulverized, using a. field-roller to aid in this work, if the barrow does not bring them to a. fine state. The bringing of the soil to a fine state is now recognized, and there are a great ,, ,AL -...M. many “Pulverizecrs” upon the market esp6~ cially designed for this work. To those who cannot afford (or think they cannot) such an implement, the common harrow and a long roller will be sufficient, if used thoroughly, to prepare the soil as a proper bed for the seed The old method of broad-cast sowing of wheat is fast being superseded [by the superior one of drilling the grain. The drill secures uniformity of depth, and by putting all the grains in a proper place for growth, there is a saving in the amount of seed to be usedâ€"six pecks of good plump grainâ€"and no other should be usedâ€"is sufiicient per acre, if sowed with a drill. Much depends upon the variety of seed sown, and the farmer should make astudy of this matter, to deter- mine which is the best kind of wheat for his soil and locality. Early sowing is the best, except when there is no danger from the Hessian Fly. Late sowed wheat makes such a poor growth before the frosts come that it is not in good shape for winter, and is not sure of giving even a fair crop. The preparation of the soil for rye is the same as for wheat, though it will do well on apoorer soil than wheat. A soil that is rich enough for a good crop of rye, can be made, in many cases, to produce a more paying crop by add- ing a dressing of 300 pounds of any good fertilizer, and sewing it to wheat. The ‘ value of rye straw in some localities may make the rye crop, grain and straw together, more profitable than even a good crop of wheat. This only is the case near cities where the straw brings a high price. A number of crops may be grown for fall fod- der. \Vhite turnips may be sown this month, and on good soil, with proper care, 600 to 800 bushels of this excellent feed may be obtained per acre. These roots need to be fed out rapidly ; but if carefully stored will last until January. Millet, if sown early this month, on rich soil, will make an excellent feed for late fall ; and rye, sowed now, will, if not needed for pasture, produce a fine growth for the spring soiling of the farm stock. The root crops, mangels and beets, and field cabbages, need frequent cultivation during this month, and until the leaves cover the ground. If weeds are allowed to grow, and the soil is left unstirred, the crop will be small. Sugar beets are best if earthed up at the hoeings, so that the roots are entirely below ground. Mangels do not require this “hilling up.” Potatoes should be harvested so soon as they are ripe, other- wise the tubers may startinto a new growth. They are much more apt to be afl'ected by the “rot” if left long in the soil. If this “disease,” which is a fungus growth, makes its appearance, the vines should be all burn- ed so soon as the potatoes are dug, as the spores are thus destroyed in vast quantities. When other work is out of the way, much may be done to make the spring work lighter by ploughing in the fall. \Vhen this is done early, it is much like a fallow in its effect upon the soilâ€"~lt kills the weeds, looseifs the soil, and allows of chemical changes that make plant food available. Heavy clay soil is much improved by early fall plowing. Muck is a valuable material for the barnyar , stable, and compost heap, and can be dug with the greatest ease at this season of the year. It may be drawn from the bed to a heap near by, where it can dry out, and afterwards be taken to the place where it is to be stored for use. During the dry weather of this month drains can be dug with greater comfort and less expense than when the soil is full of water. The value of a drain depends upon the thoroughness with which the work is done. It should be a permanent improvement. AT :1. London Zoological Gardens there is an elephant which eats buns out of your hat. Lord Northbrook, First Lord of the Admir- alty, who had heard of this, bought a. bun, placed it in his hat, and gracefully presented the dish to the elephant. Unluckin this happened to be the wrong elephant, and one whose education had been neglected, for he took hat and bun together, handed them in- to his capacious mouth’ and munched them contentedly amid the inextinguishable laugh- ter of the onlookers. NOTWITIISTANDING the natural facilities for suicide at Niagara Falls, a resident of that place last week tried to hang himself, but the rope slipped ; tried to cut his throat with a razor, but was interrupted ; tried to shoot himself in the breast and lodged the bullet in the shoulder. He is likely to get well, and perhaps will think that strangers know more than he does about the advan- tages of the Falls. He got tired of life be- cause his wife had stayed two months at her father’s with the children. AT a late fete given in Paris the German favors were brought into the hall room by a freight train. The doors near the orchestra flew open and the dancers saw a tunnel,iuside of which stood a miniature engine and train of cars. A track was suddenly thrown into the hall room, a locomotive’s shrill whistle was heard, and a- train of thirty tiny freight cars rushed in, filled with bouquets and favors, which were distributed to the guests. AT a late reception in London, at Modjes- ka’s house, she wore a flowing robe of white soft cashmere, opened widely from neck to waist, displaying underneath a tightly-fit- ting pale blue silk jersey, the knitted collar- band clasping her slender throat, with no trimming or fastening whatever. Pale pink roses were in her hands, but she wore no jewels, laces, 01' other accessorieshthus prov- ing the old law “that a woman unadorned is adorned the most.” THE present harvest prospects throughout southern Russia. are so brilliant that, if they should he realized, the farmers think they will be able to dispense with any harvest during the next four years. FACTS AN D INCIDENTS. AGRICULTURE. IN<O>HI A Cleveland Man’s Rivalry to the French Inventor. After years of patient and quiet investiga- tion and experimenting, Mr. Charles Brush, the electrician, has completeda new invention which he considers to be an ample reward for his life of study and work. He has succeeded in perfectiug a method of storing electricity. This is a consummation to secure which the reatest electricians of Europe have been boring for a number of years. The use of electricity is no doubt in its infancy yet, and the rising generation is likely to see most as- tonishing thin s accomplished with it. Mr. Brush, in his e ectric light, has already fur- nished the world with one of its most practi- cal applications, but his new accomplishment bids fair to extend its use as a motive power to Lgreat len§ths. M..." .. ‘wmnk :n‘vnn+nv‘ var“ rpmmHv 133nm, a i‘rench inventor, very recently discoveredamethod of storing electricity, and to use his method a company with large capital has been formed in Paris. Faure’s invention was an improvement over the in- vention of Plante, made some years ago. Plante, a good many years ago, described and used on many occasions what he calls a secondary battery. Faure took that second- ary battery, and made some changes in it and additions to it, and called it his invention. It was merely a modification of Plante’s secondary battery, though, of course, better perfected. The news that Faure hadinvent- ed a method of “bottling electricity,” as it was called, attracted much attention in England and America, and was much noticed recently in the Eastern press. ‘Vhat M. Faure describes as his invention was accomplished by Mr. Brush years ago, but the latter was not satisfied with such poor results. \Vhat he has since perfected goes far beyond what any other inventor has yet accomplished. Mr. Brush’s invention is a secondary battery in the same sense as is Plante’s and Faure’s. There is no essential difference in the basis of thethreeinventions. The improvements of Mr. Brush are in the method of storing and in the amount of electricity capable of being stored in a given time and in a given space. The details of his method are entirely difierent from those of the French inventors. and do not infringe upon the rights of either of those gentle- men. Mr. Brush uses for his storage reservoirs metal plates, so arranged that they are capa~ ble of receiving a very large charge of electricity, and of holding it for an indefinite time. The storage reservoirs vary in size as desired. They may be put to any use of which electricity is possible. They can be taken about in waggons by day, and left at houses of citizens, like so much ice or kerosene, and used at night. Each citizen may then run his own electric lights as he pleases. The plates can be put on street cars, connected with the axles, and made to run the cars without horses. Steam cars may be ultimately run in the same way. Mr. Brush recently stated that in a given space he was able to store double as much electri- city as Faure. 1 - . n,:. .._-L _, _, Mr. Brush has been working at this mat- ter for years, and he is a man who says nothing of his work until he is satisfied with it. His last invention is now only a case of economy. For some uses it will be cheaper, for others more expensive, than the present methods of obtaining power. The practical character of the invention is settled, and it is simply a matter of expense. The engines can be run and electricity accumulated dur- ing the day, and then at night two sets of lights can be run, one set by the power stored u . An indefinite amount of electri- city canIiie stored in this way and used as wanted. The details of the method cannot now be made public, but will be published in a short time â€"â€"â€"â€"4¢o<~.o>N»â€"-â€"~ Dr. Grlscom’s Fast. Dr. John A. Griscom recently completed at Chicago, a self-imposed fast of forty-five days. During the fast he drank 1,433 ounces of water, or about two pounds a day. \Vhen he began he was in fine physical con- dition and weighed 197;,L pounds. At the close of the fast he weighed 147%}; pounds ; his ulse was 66, respiration l5, temperature 98° ah. 0n the first day of his fast his pulse was 84, and his temperature 100°. He suffered but little during the fast, and his strength held out wonderfully, To the lost his muscular power exceeded that of most men, and his mind was perfectly clear. .- ...v-., .0... "W The faster was watched by a number of reputable physicians, and a scientific record of his condition was he t from day to day. The official summary 0 the record, it is promised, will add materially to the physi- ology of fasting, while certain of the results are said to be fatal to some of the accepted theories of medical men. It will be observed thatâ€"«if the evidence of Dr. Griscom’s case holds generallyâ€"4). man in good physical condition, subsisting upon water and his own store of flesh, con- sumes about one pound of solid food a day when leading a fairly active life. This close- ly coincides with the figures given by physi- ologists. For an average man at ordinary labor, Dr. Letlieby estimates, on the experi- ments and observations of a large number of investigations, a. daily requirement of 5.688 grains of carbon and 307 grains of nitrogen, or nearly six~sevenths of a. pound ; while, for active labor, the carbon and nitrogen re- quired weigh together about one and one- fifth pounds. Dr. Dalton’s observations in- dicate a more liberal diet as necessary for a man in full health taking free exercise, his quantities being equivalent to 16 oz. meat, 19 oz. bread, 33‘,» butterfior nearly 2%; pounds of mixed food, and about three pints of water. It would seem from these figures that the absorption of food from one’s own bodily store of flesh costs considerable less energy than the digestion and assimilation of food in the usual way. In any case, a man in good health, with fifty pounds of surplus can safely reckon on nearly as many days of life, in case of enforced abstinence, or for voluntary abstinence, as for the cure of dis- ease. The purpose of Dr. Griscom’s fast, he says, was to impress people with the utility of fasting and the possibility of long-continued fasting without severe pain. He believes that much of the sickness and physical dis- tress men suffer from may be attributed to the overcrowding of the system with food and food products, and that very many mal- adies may be cured simply by abstaining from food for a longer or shorter period. The STORING ELECTRICITY. From me (‘lewland Leader, daily observations upon the blood of Dr. Griscom are said to prove the important fact that the relative number of blood corpuscles is not materially diminished by fasting ; and there is reason to expect that, when the de- tails of the physicians’ observations are di- ested and published, the sanitary value of astingâ€"and of eating less, habituallyâ€"Will be scientifically established. As a. remedy for obesity, fastin â€"-partial or com leteâ€" would seem to be 0th safe and e cient ; but it must be persisted in for longer periods than lhave heretofore been thought pru- dent. Curiously, the distress of hunger seems to vanish after a few days’ abstinence. â€"â€"â€"â€"<N4->N»â€"â€"â€"- The persecution of the Jews in Russia and elsewhere has led to the formation of a. public subscription at Brussels in aid of these unfor- tunate children of a dismembered race, and it is gratifying to know that a large sum has already been collected. Joh. Marla Hilderbmndt has sent a new species of palm tree to Herr \Vendland, Court gardener at Herrenhausen, and a. noted connoisseur of that exotic tree. Hilder- brandt discovered the tree in the eastern part of Madagascar, and it has been christen- ed by \Vendland, in honor of the Chancellor, ‘ ‘Bismarckia Nobils. ” Some interesting gold and silver coins have been found recently among the sands which form the bank of the Samara River. Some of these coins have Tartar inscriptions. Most of them, however, are Polish and Ausâ€" trian coins of the sixteenth century. A Kal- muck camp was once fixed on the spot where the coins were found. The defiant Arab chief, B011»Amena, is said to be a. remarkable conjuror, and his followers believe that he is a miracle-worker and an emissary of Mohammed sent upon earth to effect the deliverance of the faithful from the Christian yoke. Heswallows swords with Oriental grace, and he probably regreia that he is unable to swallow his enemies with equal ease. Dr. Schliemann has received from the city of Berlin the special favor of “honorary citizenship.” Prince Bismarck and Gen. von Moltke are the only other living persons who have been honored in a like manner. Dr. Schliemann, by the way, asserts that, dur» ing his recent journey through the Troad and it; the Ida. Mountains, he diseovered the altar o Zeus. Carlsbad is described as a charming place, although not strictly a pleasure resort. It is not a second Monaco. But it may be recommended for its lovely walks, good music, pretty shops, picturesque crowds and costumes, and cheerful out-ofâ€"door life under a blue sky. The waters at Carlsbad, furthermore, put one in that happy state which can only be inspired by a good appe- tite andasouud digestion. This is better than all the vanity of the world. There were two murders in France toward the close of the year 1860 which are called to mind by the shocking Lefroy case in Eng- land. One of the victims was M. Poinsot, a magistrate, who was found dead in one of the carriages of a train travelling between Troyes and Paris, his head having been pierced by two pistol-shots. Shortly before this event, the body of a Russian gentleman had been found on the line between Paris and Mulhausen. In both of these cases themnrâ€" derers escaped. A foreign correspondent states that Prince Bismarck has written to Mrs. Garfield an autograph letter in which he begs her to accept his heartfelt sympathy and best wishes for her husband’s recovery. The German Chancellor, it is known, has always had a. strong partiality for Americans, espe- cially since his student days, when he became the firm friend of the late Mr. Motley. Prince Bismarck has been passing his days recently at Kissingen, where he leads the life of a valetudinarian. An English writer complains that his countrymen are ill-prepared for the hot weather which has been making London un- comfortable. He believes that the warmth might be enjoyable if people lived in houses constructed to keep them warm in winter and cool in summer, and if they could be in- duced to put on clothing adapted to summer heat. Moreover, it is a- sad fact that, even while the mercury stands amid the nineties, Englishmen stick to their beef, mutton, and heavy puddings, and to their'ponderous por' ter and stout. That facetious American who swindled ho- tel keepers by stealing his own pantaloons and charging those persons with the offense has found an imitator in France, one Beauvois, who has been convicted of simula- ting railway accidents. Beauvois’ ingeni- ous system was to lean on the door of a compartment not properly closed, and to pretend that his leg was sprained by falling from the carriage. He practised this trick five times, and on each occasion received some compensatiOn for his misfortune. His sixth attempt carried him straight to prison, where he is now safely lodged. \Vhy should men ever be afraid to die, but that they revard the spirit as secondary to that which isobut its mere appendage and convenience, its symbol, its word, its means of visibility?
