A London cable says : Lord Salisbury, in a speech at the Lord Mayor’s banquet last night, referred to the growing pacific aspect of foreign affairs. He said the agreement with Russia. regarding the Afghan frontier, which had been accepted by the Ameer, removed the danger to the world’s peace in those quarters. It had also‘been the good fortune of the Govern» ment to come to an understanding with France'concerning the New Hebrides diffi- culty and with regard to some vexed ques- tions concerning the Suez Canal. He announced that Ayoub Khan had surren- dered to .the Indian Government. He admitted that political uneasiness existed in Europe, but said he knew nothing that would justify alarm. In view of the competition in forming great arma- ments, it was idle to suppose that peace would be forever maintained, but every present rulerâ€"monarch, president or ministerâ€"earnestly desired peace. Refer- ring to Ireland, Lord Salisbury said they were often told that there would be no legislative activity until Home Rule had been granted. But he could assure them but there would be no falling of in activity 1 0n the part of those who were upholding the integrity of the Empire. It was the task of the Government to maintain law and order in Ireland. The new powers of the Government had been in existence only a few months, yet there was already a marked improvement in the ‘Condition of the country. The law was in the steady course of success- ful operation. The circumstances at the present time gave additional emphasis to the vindication of the law. The reception accorded to Mr. Balfour showed his hear- ers’ sense of his conduct in following those principles of government which regulate the existence of society. (Cheers) The Government were convinced that they had the support of the people in restoring to Ireland the blessings of peace, freedom and prosperity arising from the recognition of the principles of order. (Cheers) He had good hope of adjusting the difficulty with America upon the ancient fishery dispute. The task had been undertaken with great patriotism by one of the most eminent statesmen of the dayâ€"(cheers)â€"a states~ man- who went to his work with the almost unanimous goodwill of his country- men, who trusted that the result might be to prevent differences arising again. Lord Salisbury announced that the Gov- ernment were coming to a decision with France on the subject of the Pacific Islands, and thus a source of quarrel would be reâ€" moved and the prospect of peace almost assured. The task of adjusting the dif- ferences with the States had been under- taken by a statesman of great ability. He was aware that there was a certain un- easiness with respect to peace ; but he was unaware of any grounds for it, as every ruler, Minister and President was sincere n his desire to maintain peace. All he influence of England had been nd would be cast on the side of the nation which worked in the interests of freedom, legality and peace. Referring to the state of affairs in Ireland. he said there was a marked improvement; and he hoped that during the next session of Par- liament more attention could be given to the general wants of the Kingdom. Among other things, the Government intend to reform Parliamentary procedure. Again reverting to foreign affairs, he announced that Ayoub Khan had surrendered himself, thus removing all danger in Afghanistan to the Indian Empire. Lord George Hamilton, responding for the navy, expressed a fear that the British gunboat Wasp would never again reach England. The navy had been strengthened by merchant vessels and the Admiralty were on the eve of an arrangement with the colonies which would materially stnengthenhour defence. .....‘ n A London cable says: The Lord Mayor’s banquet last night was attended by the princigahmembefg offithe Cabinet. . An Epplian‘ce to Prevent Accidents from Leaving Switches Open. Some time since N. E. Springsteen, Michigan Passenger Agent of the Erie Railway, secured a patent on a railroad switch of his invention. The appliance is designed to prevent the accidents which occur almost daily through the carelessness of employees in leaving switches open. The models were submitted to a number of railroad men, including Chief Engineer Masson. of the Detroit, Grand Haven & Milwaukee Railway, and he at once ordered one put on at Pontiac for the purpose of testing its adaptability. It is so constructed that the movement of the train of cars operating on a cam placed on the outer side 01 the rail controls the switch, closing it if it has been left open and looking it as well. A test was made on Thursday on the main line at Pontiac. Four engines were used on the main line. The switch was left open and the engineer tested its working, run- ning at a speed of from 8 to 22 miles an our. . It worked to perfection, and on Ebnday next a party of local railway mag- Its will go to Pontiac to witness another ’ test. A company will at once he formed to manufacture the switch.

So spoke one conspirator, the others dancing about filled with delight at the thought of the surprise awaiting their poor friend Dick. So somebody went to see what the child- ren had been doing during their long absence. Well might Dick be astonished at the transformation scene which met his eyes when he awokeâ€"poor old eyes, dim with suffering and sleepless nights. The iron bedstead on which he lay was twined with flowersâ€"the decorations of the flower-room the evening before ; all around his pillow lay flowers, on the white coun~ terpane and draped oyer his head. The day after an entertainment at the Hospital given several years ago by a few ladies, assisted by talented friends, to obtain funds to start the Flower Mission, an old man, who for many months had been a patient sufferer from a. terrible diseaseâ€"resulting from having had his feet frozenilay resignedly awaiting death. Death, to so many a terrible visitant, to him seemed a kind friendâ€"looked forward to as a relief from the agony he had suffered for, What seemed to him, years 01 wearin'ess and pain. The children were at the hospital that day helping to clear away the remains of the previous evening’s entertainment. Childlike they soon tired of the unusual work, and stole away to the wards to see the patients and have a chat with old Dick, the sufferer just alluded to, who was a favorite of theirs. The ladies, busy sorting and packing the numerous articles used the evening previous, scarcely noticed the departure of their small helpers, and an hour passed before they returned, brimful of excitement and delight. “ Come! come! seevpoor old Dick! He is sound asleep, and we have such a sur- prise for him when he wakes ! ” Nobody said a. word. Nobody could. Tears in the eyes make tears in the voice, and one by one those ladies stole away to their work again, leaving poor old Dick so happy, waiting for a “peep er heaven”â€" the real heaven. It was the last time the ladies ever saw old Dick. The last time those poor weary eyes brightened at their coming. flick had awaliened, and in the midst of all the floral beauty and fragrance he lay, with such a smile on his worn face, “ 0h Missy!” he said to one- of the ladies. That was the name he always called her. ” Oh Missy 1 I’m having a. peep er heaven sure. It can’t be nicer than this. The flowers and the children, God bless them. Somewaya I’m thinkin’, Missy, He wants ter show me what it’slike up there.” They left him with his eyes closed, a smile on his rugged face waiting, the garlands of flowers over and above the narrow bed and around the pale counte- nance, drawn by constant suffering.

Thirty-three years ago last September Hiram Robbins and ' wife, of Brighton, made a visit to Niagara Falls and on the way home were attracted by a man and wife, accompanied by three small children, consisting of a baby, a girl ‘2 years old and a boy perhaps 4 years old. They were well dressed and apparently in good circumstances, but the mother was insane. The father, owing to his wife’s illness, had the whole care of the family and the baby was somewhat neglected. Mrs. Robbins took pity on the baby and offered to take charge of it until the train reached Roches- ter. As they neared the city the father said : “ If you would kindly take baby and keep him for eight or ten days until I could care for the rest of the family I will return and take him and reward you for your trouble.” Mr. Robbins’ people readily consented to ‘ do as requested and the father gave the ‘ name of the baby as Frank Dyer. When the ten days were up Mr. R.’s people looked for the man’s return, but in vain. And when two or three months had passed they began to wish that he would not come and he never did. The child grew up the foster brother of Prof. S. J. Robbins, of Penfield, with whom many of our readers are per’ sonally acquainted. S. J. Robbins entered the army with the 108th Regiment from this city and during his absence this youth was the comfort of Mr. and Mrs. Robbins During the rebellion Hiram Robbins died. In September, 1864, S. J. Robbins came home, having left his right arm at Gold Harbor, Va. In a few weeks after his return Mrs. Hiram Robbins died, leaving Frank Dyer twice orphaned. The two orphaned boys fought the battle of life as best they could, Mr. Dyer taking a position on a railroad. In this he was successful, soon becoming a conductor on the Central, and is nowapaSSenger conductor on the Chicago, Kansas dz Nebrasba Railroad. Now comes the strangest part of the story. About three weeks ago a conductor on the Central saw a lady in the Syracuse depot looking for a lost brother, and after hearing her story became convinced that Frank Dyer was he. A letter was sent to Prof. S. J. Robbins, who corresponded with the lady in Ver- mont and found her to be Frank’s sister. The mother is still alive and insane, but‘ has never forgotten to ask for her baby. She can tell his exact age and the clothes he wore when she last saw him. The father died soon after leaving the child with Mr. Robbins, and at his death all positive knowledge as to the whereabouts of the babe was lost. The older brother lives in Nebraska. Conductor Dyer is at his old home at Allen’s Creek with Prof. S. J. Robbins, who will accompany him to see the relatives from whom he has been separated for 33 yearsâ€"RochesterHerald. A Preacher on an Ediior. (Rev. Mr. Silcox in Winnipeg Sun.) We who are not editors sometimes think we could make a better paper than our editor does, just as some people think that ‘ they could make a better sermon than the preacher. 0n the same principle, old maids are quite confident that they would make better wives than do the most of those who are elevated to these serene heights. We sometimes think the editor is not religious enough, and that he gives too much space to the baseball brigade, the slugger, etc. We forget that the paper is a. condensed history of every day’s doings, and must therefore record deaths as well as births, and chronicle the deeds of demons as well as narrate the exploits of angels. VOL XXX STRANGE“ THAN FICTION. A PEEP ’BR HEAVEN.” A SKETCH FROM REAL LIFE. A last (Thursday) night’s Chicago des- patch says : The scene in Lingg’s cell after the explosion was ghastly. Teeth, bits of jawbone, shreds of flesh and blood were scattered all over the narrow compartment. A little trail of blood marked the way over the stone flagging to the room where Lingg was carried. J ailer Folz at once gave orders to have every one of the other cells searched, and Parsons’ was the first one a descent was made upon. Three deputies entered his cell, took him by the wrists and shoulders and led him to the jailer’s ofiioe. There he was detained until his cell was thoroughly searched and nothing found. The exâ€"editor of the Alarm shivered with excitement, fear and curiosity. His face was white and his eyes looked ready to start from their sockets. He was in his shirt and trousers and a wide felt hat shaded his face, He looked as if he would have given worlds to know what had happened, but no information was vouch- safed him. It is believed by some of the reporters that something was found on Parsons, although the jail officials deny this. Parsons was given a new suit of clothes to put on and taken to another cell, where he now is, with two deputies stand. ing guard over him. One of them stands at the back of his cell and the other at the door. The other men and their cells were also searched, but nothing was found. When Engel was being searched he com- pletely broke down and cried like a child. He is still so prostrated that he has not yet been put back in a cell, but is in the jail library in charge of deputies. Sheriff Matson says Lingg was stripped and care- fully searched yesterday and the day before. The agent with which he accomplished his work was a fulminating cap a little over an inch long. It had been filled with fulminâ€" ate of mercury. The news of Lingg’s deed created the most profound excitement. When his cell was searched a second candle was found. At the top of it, barely eon- cealed by the end of the wick, a second fulminating cap was found, so it is sup- posed Lingg’s attempted suicide was com- mitted with one similarly hidden. The candles were furnished by the jail, so that the caps must have been put in by Lingg himself. OTHER SCENES AND INGIDENTS Lingg‘s Suicide and Death and Ghastly Surroundings. Spies, Fischer Parsons and Engel Swing 0n the Gallows. FIELDEN AND SCHWAB REPRIEVED. H Captain Black arrived at the jail at 10 o’clock and went to the room where the doctors were working with Lingg. “ Lingg, do you know Captain Black ‘2” asked Deputy-Sheriff Morgan, Lingg opened his eyes, looked steadfastly at the captain and nodded his head. The rags and strings of flesh that hung to his face waved to and fro, and the captain, almost overcome, left the room. Lingg died at 2.50 pm. Beyond a glance of recognition to Captain Black, who came into the room for a moment and said, “ Poor, poor fellow,” there was nothing to break the horrible agony of six mortal hours’ wait for death’s approach. The Rev. Dr. Bolton, a Metho- dist minister attending Fielden, went in to see Lingg, but got no answering look from him. Lingg’s breathing gradually became slower. The pallor on the forehead deepened. A slight glaze was noticed in the sunken eyes. Some one said “ He is dying,” and the reporters made ready for a rush to the nearest telephones. In a moment the little room was empty of all but the ghastly corpse of the bomb-maker, Louis Lingg. The coroner’s inquest will be held on Wednesday in Lingg’s case. The members of the jury have been selected, and are all business men. LIxee’s CAREER. In 1883 Lingg was forced to Leave his \native town in Germany. After a good deal of wandering about Germany he landed in Switzerland. There he continued to fight the “ Blues,” as the Social Demoâ€" crats are called by the Red followers of Most. It was then that the official organ of the German Socialists published a notice declaring Lingg to be an informer and spy of the German Government. He came to America in 1885, and upon reaching Chi- cago joined the North Side group of Inter- nationals and soon began the manufacture of bombs, one of which was used at the Haymarket. When two policemen went to arrest him the next day one of them en- tered his room while the other stayed out- side the house. The latter soon heard shouts for help, and running into Lingg’s room found that the Anarchist had thrown his partner on the floor, and was only prevented from shooting him by the policeman, who had a grip on the revolver which Lingg was endeavoring to use. The second officer, after a desperate struggle, succeeded in placing handcuffs on his wrists. Placing a pistol to his head the policeman ordered him to come on, but Lingg refused to move and said, “Shoot me! Shoot me I” “ It’s a pity I didn’t ' accommodate him,” said the officer who ’ was at the jail this morning as he stood - looking at Lingg. “ It might have saved all this trouble.” His Deterlnination to LEnd His Life. JOLLY " TILL THE LAST MOMENT. SPRINGFIELD, 111., Nov. 10.â€"The decision of the Governor was announced in front of the Mansion at 7 o’clock to‘night by the Private Secretary of the Governor. The sentences of Fielden and Schwab were commuted to imprisonment for life. The rest were denied clemency. Thus Spies, Fischer, Parsons and Engel will be executed to-morrow. In his decision on the petitions of the condemned Anarchists Governor Oglesby says : “ * * * Satisfied as I am of their guilt I am precluded from considering the question of commutation of the sentences of Albert R. Parsons, Adolph Fischer, Geo. Engel and Louis Lingg to imprisonment in the Penitentiary, as they emphatically declared that they will 'not accept such commutation.

Fielden and Michael Schwab may be modi- fied as to each of them in the interest of humanity and without doing violence to public justice. As to the said Samuel Fielden and Michael Schwab the sentence is commuted to imprisonment in the peni- tentiary for life. As to all the other above- named defendants I do not feel justified in ‘ interfering with the sentence of the court. l While I would gladly have come to a differ. ‘ ent conclusion in regard to the sentence of i defendants August Spies, Adolph Fischer, George Engel, Albert It. Parsons and Louis Lingg, I regret to say that under the solemn 1 sense of the obligations of my ofiice I have i been unable to do so.” , i LAST INTERVIEWS. When the news of the commutation of the sentence of Fielden and Schwab was received at the jail there was an extraorâ€" ‘ dinary scene of activity. The news was sent to the relatives of all the condemned men and in a short time they began to arrive at the jail. The first of the women to come in was Mrs. Schwab. Soon after Schwab was brought from his cell to the main office. His wife quickly advanced to him and throwing her arms about his neck burst into tears. Schwab returned the embrace in acalm manner and soon the two were chatting quietly together. After this Spies and Fisoher were brought from their cells and taken to the library. Engel was brought to the private office of Mr. Folz. This was done for the purpose of allowing the relatives to take their last interviews. The first of the women to arrive after Mrs. Schwab was Miss Engel, the daughter of the condemned Anarchist. When the two met in the private office there was an outburst of grief which it is impossible to describe. Father and daughter clung to each other and sobbed convulsively. The conversation was in German and listened to only by Deputy Oelsen. Then came Mrs. Epics, the mother of August. She had been waiting outside for an hour and a half. Her sobs could be heard through the corridors of the building. She did not stay long in the library with her son, and on her exit from the jail Mrs. Fischer was admitted. She went into the library, and her lamentations were heard above the tramp of the deputies who swarmed about the place. But the crown- ing scene of all was the visit of Nina Van Zandt, the proxy wife of Spies. She was conducted to the library by Deputy Oelsen. The moment she saw August a complete change in her demeanor was noticed. There was a look, then a gasp, and in a trice the lovers were in each other’s arms. The interview lasted nearly half an hour. THE NEWS or LINGG’S surgeon. The explosion in Lingg’s sell wbreated a decided sensation in the jail. The jailer approached Parsons’ cell with the news. “ Lingg has killed himself,” said Mr. Folz. “ Great God! is that so?” exclaimed Parsons. “ Yes, it’s a fact,” was the reply. “ Well, my God,” exclaimed Parsons. “ I wish I had some dynamite myself, I would kill myself only too quickly.” ,,4 ,1 LL... Schwab and August Spies unite in a peti- tion for “ executive clemency.” Fielden and Schwab in addition present separate and supplementary petitions for the com- mutetion of their sentences. ‘ While I am satisfied of the guilt of all the parties as found by the verdict of the}, jury, which was sustained by the judgments of the courts, a most careful consideration of the whole subject leads me to the conclusion that the sentence of the law ‘ae to Samuel August Spies was then informed of the tragedy. “ I expected nothing else,” said Spies quietly. “ Ever since the finding of the bombs in his cell last Sunday I was satisfied that if it was possible he would make away with himself. For my own and 1 11 ,_ Auk _1_- ulwuu u n w -.,-. ..-.___, V my comraiie's" sake I angrglad he “is out of the way._’: -v u 1w 1 An A: 1.1... .M ....., . According to Jailer Folz all of the reâ€" maining Anarchists are completely broken down. They look on the suicide of Lingg as placing him in the category of an ex- treme Anarchist, which place they do not wish to occupy themselves‘. They Sing the Marseillaisc. At 10 o’clock, Parsons, Fischer and Spies asked for twenty minutes each on the gallows in which to make speeches. The Sheriff did not immediately return an answer to the request. Fischer sang the “Marseillaise,” in which the other prisoners joined at 10 a. m. The speeches which Spies, Parsons and Fischer spent a portion of the morning in preparing were in part written statements, the nature of which would not be divulged by any of the offi- cials. It was stated by the Sheriff that Spies, Parsons and Fischer had in addition written letters which he had also locked up securely. Parsons' letter was addressed to his wife and children. That of Fischer’s goes to his wife, but the address on that of Spies the sheriff refuses to divulge. It is supposed that it is for Nina VanZandt. v Aluu‘A u. About 9.30 a deputation from the Carpenters’ Union, to which Louis Lingg belonged, applied to Chief Deputy Knox for Lingg‘s body. They were referred to the Coroner. The Cabinetmakers’ Union also presented an applica- tion to the sheriff for the body. At 10.55 o’clock 250 newspaper men, local politicians and others, among them the twelve.jurors who were to view the bodies after the execution, had passed through the dark passage under the galâ€" lows and began seating themselves. Par- sons was given a cup of coffee a few minutes before the march to the scaffold was begun. The chief bailiff began at 11.10 calling out the names of the persons surn- moned as jurors, and bringing them for- ward to the row of little stools directly in front of the gallows. At 11.02 the condemned men ate their final lunch, and at 11.30 the Sheriff read the death warrants. At 11.46, Spies, Engel and Fischer, in their shrouds, were standing at the grated door and saying adieus to friends in the Visitors’ cage. At 11.49 the death march to the scaffold started. The Execution. At 11.55, the condemned men having been placed by the officers in the place assigned them, the trap was sprung. Fischer died very hard, and so did Spiers. Parsons struggled and kicked 1115 feet fearfullv . .._.A L. In“ W 7C,” Fischer’s last words were : “ Hurrah for Anarchism l” The pulse of all the Anarchists stopped beating in 137} minutes. Their Last “finds. All the Anarchists died of strangulation None of their necks were broken. The fol lowing were the last words of the four con damned Anarchists : presâ€"“ There will come a. time when our silence will be more powerful than the voices they are strangling to death now.” Engelâ€"“ Hurrah for Anarchy ! ” Fischerâ€"“ Hurrah for Anarchy I This is the happiest moment of my life.” ,,1‘n Par501f5::‘;May I be allo5ved to speak Will you let me speak, Sheriff Manson Let the voice of tile pegple he hqard.” I At 11171171137 coffian far the Anarchists “ Hurrvah for of the M the coffins lnere brought to the scaf- fold, Sheriff Mateon exclaimed, “ His will be done.” How the Bodies Were Disposed of. The bodies were lowered in the follow- ing order: Spies, Fischer, Engel and Persons. All looked natural. The coffin lids were screwed down. Paper tabs were pasted on each for identification. Engel’s body and Lingg’s were taken to 286 Milwaukee avenue. Fischer’s Wife claimed his. Mrs. Spies took August’s, and Mrs. Parsons received that of her husband. In exactly one hour after the execution took place the work of taking down the scaffold was begun, and in two hours was housed away in the basement of the jail. Another Report of the Scene. It lacked just seven minutes and a half of the hour of high noon when a single white shrouded figure, above which was a face of yellowish pallor, the face of August Spies, passed the first post of the gallows. He looked calm and glanced at the repor- ters withatrace of his old-time cynical smile. He walked firmly over the drop, guided by the grasp of adeputy,to the furthest edge of the gallows. Following close came Fischer, close enough to touch Spies’ shroud had his hand not been pin- ioned under the white muslin. Fischer’s countenance had a peculiar glisten, totally unlike the ashiness of Engel’s heavy fea» tures, and in strange contrast with the dead lack of color in the pinched linea- ments of Parsons.

The Judges of the Supreme Court of Illinois in their decision of the case of the Anarchists held that there was a general conspiracy to bring about “ a social revolu- tion ” by violence and also a .specific conspiracy which was to be carried into effect about May 1st, 1886. In pursuance of the general plot, even as early as 1870 as many as 1,000 men were drilling regularly in Chicago, and in 1885 there were 3,000 who were, as Parsons at the time said, “ well armed with rifles and revolvers and would have dynamite and bombs when they got ready to use them.” May 1st having been selected by the workingmen as the date for introducing the eight hour system, it was chosen by the Anarchists as the time for striking the blow because there would be a large number of men out of work. The proceeds of a ball given by the Carpenters’ Union was turned over to Lingg with which to buy dynamite. The court held that it was quite apparent that the manufacture of the bombs by Lingg was under the auspices of the International Workingmen’s Association. The bombs were carried by Lingg and Seliger, who turned informer, to a hall, where several persons called and helped themselves, as if knowing that they would be there at that time. This was on the evening of the ex- plosion, May 4th, 1886. Two days before Engel and Fischer attended a meeting, and the former submitted a plan for throwing bombs into police stations and shooting down the police. At another meeting which the same men attended the next day a circular written by Spies was dis- tributed [calling upon workingmen to arm and avenge the killing of six of their number by the policeâ€"as a matter of fact but one had been killed. At this meeting Engel’s plan was for a second time adopted, and at Fischer’s suggestion, it was agreed that the appearance of the word “Ruhe” in the Arboz’tcr Zcimny should be the signal that the revolution had come. and its duplication would mean that the armed men were to repair to certain places and await instructions from a committee to attack the police stations. The word was inserted in the Zeitung, by Spies, its editor, who also had charge of the meeting at the Haymarkct. The original plan seems to have failed owing to the appearance of the police at the meeting. Fielden was then speaking and had just used this language, which had determined the police to break up the meeting: You have nothing more to do with the law ex- cept to lay hands on it and throttle it until it mnkos its last kick. Keep your eye upon it, throttle it, kill it, stub it, do everything you can to wound it When the order to disperse was given, Fielden climbed down from the waggon, saying: “ We are peaceable.” The bomb was then exploded and several pistols fired at the police, with the result of killing one officer outright, fatally injuring six and seriously injuring nearly fifty. An allusion is made by the Supreme Court to a. possible connection between Fielden’s remark as he descended from the waggon and the word “ ruhe,“ meaning " peace,” but) this is clearly a. far-fetched ides. Next to Lingg, whose terrible suimde has already been referred to at length in the TIMES’ despatches, Adolph Fischer, a printer on the Aw'bcitcr Zcitll711h was re. garded as the most violent of the men hanged today. He was under 30 years and had been fifteen years in the country. The Court held that he and Engel “ ad. vised and induced a. band of seventy or eighty armed and drilled men to enter into a. plot to murder the police.” There was testimony in the trial that he actively en- gaged in the distributien‘of bombs. ,__rJr L- LL, bwiiéléééfiéé has already been made to the suggestion of a. plan of attack by George Engel, who was born in Hesse in 1839, and came to the States in 1872. He wasa painter by trade, but became business manager and assistant editor of the Chi- cago A'rbeitcr Zeitung. He was not present when the bomb was exploded. He had contributed incendiary articles to a paper called the Anarchist. Alfred B. Parsons, a native of Texas, where he had lived until he appeared in Chicago fourteen years ago, was always a labor agitator and had often boasted to reporters and others of the strength and organization of the Anarchists and had shown them bombs and dynamite. He had also written articles for the Alarm, recommending that workingmen should arm themselves, and had given specific instructions as to the manner of making bombs and procuring weapons. He had also in speeches preseribed the use of the gun and dynamite. He had a part in call- ing the Haymarket meeting. :- nr,, , A on ._,,_... August Spies, a native of Hesse, 32 years old and Well educated, came to America. when 16 and worked at various trades before he became editor of the Arbeiter Zeituny in 1880. He had a. share in calling the Hmymarket meeting. He also took part; in the meeting which culminated in the attack on McUornick’s works. He had written violent articles for the Alarm and Zeitung. Histnry uf the Victims WHOLE NO 1,528 NO. 21. M Teefy Mrs. Parsons, with Mrs. Holmes and the two children of the former, were released from the station at 2.10 o’clock this after- noon. She looked very sad and down- hearted. In meek tones she asked a reporter, “ Is the bloody business over ‘2” When told that it was she made no answer, but proceeded to explain why she was at the jail. She was told by a deputy last night to call at the jail at 8.30 this morning so that the children might see their father. At the appointed time she made the request to be allowed to enter and was sent from one street to another until 10.30 o’clock. Then she made an effort to pass under the rope and was prevented. She frequently broke down and sobbed, and as they passed along took her boy more firmly by the hand and walked more rapidly, keeping her head bent down. At 2.30 o’clock this afternoon two Anarchists. giving their names as Charles Loberstein and Gustav Hains,were arrested on the front platform of a Randolph street car, with a companion. They were talking in a very loud and threatening manner of what they were going to do tonight, “ To get even for the death of their friends and the friends of the laboring man." The passengers on the car became frightened, and many of them got out before the car crossed the bridge. At the corner of Canal street Officer Henry Smith was signalled by the conductor, and jumping on the car he undertook to arrest the men. Loberstein caught the officer by the throat and made an effort to get possession of his revolver. An exciting struggle followed, in which many citizens joined. The two men were at length overpowered and taken to the Desplaines Street Station. Their com- panion escaped. Both men, who gave their ages as 38 and 27 respectively, were crape I on their hats. Officer Smith was wounded l in the Haymarket riots last spring.

By 10 o’clock the editorial room in the rear of the second floor was full of Anarchists. Col. Henton mounted a chair and harangued the assembly on the event of the day in Chicago. He glorified “ Lingg’s heroic death, the only mercy the bloodhounds of capitalism have left him to enjoy.” “ The blood that is shed today,” he continued, “ will be amply avenged. They can assassinate these four men, but 4,000 will spring up to emulate them in their fight against tyranny." Areportegsaxv Herr Moat at his office. In reply to the question whether there would be any demonstration to-day, he said: “ There will be no demonstration. We can’t aemonstmte every day. The newspapers have been the cause of the hanging.

By long odds the most magnificent train which has ever passed over the Grand Trunk line went west about 3.30 yesterday afternoon. It was conveying one of Ray- mond & Whitcomb’s excursion parties from Boston to California. The vestibuled train is the latest and greatest, improve- ment of the idea put forth in the Pullman sleeping carâ€"that of providing the most comfortable, the most luxurious and the safest transit for the railway passenger, and the newest and unquestionably the finest product of the Pullman' shops are these magnificent cars. By an ingenious device the whole train is united under one continuous roof, so that in place of de- tached cars with exposed platforms, there is, in reality, an elongated suite of elegantly furnished apartments, comprising all the comforts and appliances of the most luxuriously appointed hotels. The passen- ger passes from his bed room to the bath room or barber shop, and from the dining room to the smoking room orireading room, without the least exposure to the elements or to any risk of soiled hands or garments, such as a passage across the platform of an ordinary car is likely to involve. A child can go from one end of the train to the other without the slightest ‘ danger. The vestibules, which constitute the main feature of this model train, are formed by enclosing the platforms. They are as ele- gantly finished as any part of the car, car- peted so as to entirely conceal the points of connection between the joined cars, and illuminated by means of lights depending from the ceiling, whose rays fall through cutglass paneled doors full upon the steps. The side doors, opening out on the steps, are barred while the train is in motion, but they can be opened instantly when a stop is made. A vertical buffer between the cars imparts greater steadiness to the train, reduces the tendency to oscillation and equalizes the resistances. The cars’ superlative elegance is ex- hibited everywhere. Several railway men and a Tums representative had a look through the train! during the few minutes it stopped here. The names of the coaches are the Harvard (dining), Whitcomb (sleeper), Holden (sleeper), Raymond (smoker), Pasadena (sleeper), America (sleeper), Delmonte (parlor), Corinthia (dining), Servia (parlor). The passengers number 175. There were two G. T. R. engines to the train, and on this line Con- ductor Allison, of London, is in charge. The coaches comprising the train are valued at $140,000.â€"IIamilton Times. flow the Ameer Punished an Alarmlst. The Homeward Mailsays : Some strange stories have been told of the way in whice Abdur Rahman lords it over his people. There is a humor in his way of playing the lord-absolute which can best be appreciated at a distance, as a story which has just reached us will show. Not long ago, we are told, the Ameer was sitting in durbar dis- cussing public affairs. The “ home" department had gone through their work. Orders had been issued to release certain persons from the sorrows of existence, when the durbar suddenly dashed into greater things, and began to talk about the English and the Russians. A man who had lately been introduced at court, and was not well acquainted with his sovereign’s ways, remarked : “ Lord of the earth, let people say what they like, but this humble one has been scanning the political horizon with far-reaching eyes, and the Russians are coming.” The lord of the earth smiled a sweet smileâ€"some of the old courtiers who knew that smile also smiledâ€"and, turning upon him with the “ far-reaching eyes,” said : “ Bright jewel of our durbar and sun of our understanding, art thou sure of this ?" “ The lord of the earth is omniscient and knows everything,” replied he. “ Well, to be sure, we do see things and know one or two things, but we are old 1 now. Moreover, yon tree obstructs our view. Moreover, thou art young ; go thou, therefore, climb the tree, watch the cursed Muscovite’s movements, and when he is very close upon us come and inform us. The tree is high. so that thou shalt be enabled to see a long way off.” Forthwith the man was led to the tree and made to climb to the topmost branches. To keep up his courage if he grew weary of his post, a guard with bayonets fixed was told off to remain below, It is said the young man felt considerably elevated by his master’s humor, and felt very exhilarated at first ; but three days’ contemplation of the beauties of nature, is apt to tire one, and so he fell. They say he got hurt and died. No one dares to raise alarms in Cabul'now. WHY CHINESE DO NOT DRINK NEW TEA. The State of Crops in Ontario. , The November report of the Bureau of Industries for Ontario states that the area devoted to rye is small, and that this crop does not appear to be growing in favor. The average new crop of fall wheat in the Province is\ about the same as that given to the crop of this year. The appearance and general conditiOn of the crop at the end of October may be ranked as fair. Indian corn, sorghum, beans and buckwheat have shared the fate of other crops, the dronth proving too much for them. All accounts unite in placing the crop of clover seed as a com- plete failure. The general condition of the root crops is about on a par with that of the grains. Despite the ex- tremely hot summer, these portions of the Province which devote any considerable attention to fruit growing report the past season to have been a favorable one for this branch of agriculture. The poor pastures of the past season have had the usual effect upon live stock, notwithstanding flthat supplementary feed- ing was adopted to a much greater extent than generally happens. The dairy indus- try has been much more successful during the past year than might have been expect-- ed. The yield on honey was affected by the drouth, but at the latter part of October colonies were much stronger than expected.
