Rome .Affidavit* Which Seem to Haw Been Bought for a Price—The Court Uefu»es to Hear Oral Testimony—An Adjournment Until Mon day. CHICAGO, October 1.—The anarchist case will open In court again to-day, and the announcement is made that the counsel for the condemned have procured and filed two affidavits of meu bearing the names of Love and Blossom, who have sworn that on the night of Mqy 4 last Henry Gilmer, the incontrovertible wit ness in the famous trial, was iuytheir com pany, in a saloon at the corner of Van iuren and Halstead streets, /tom about 8 U CtUVilV UUV11 AA tuttu, u fore, impossible for him £o have been where he swore he was—at the Haymarket meeting. Gilmer, Love and Blossom are said to be partners. Gilmer, it will be remembered, swore that he went to the meeting early to see a friend with whom he had an appointment. While looking for his friend he saw a suspicious trio in the alley behind Crane Brothers’ building, and he watched their movements closely until he saw one of them (Spies) light the fuse of a bomb and the other (Schnaubel) hurl it at the police. He was very positive in his identi fication of both, and pointed out the two in the court room. Schnaubel he identi fied by a photograph which was in the possession of the police and was handed him on the stand. State’s Attorney Grinnel says the affida vits are intended to impeach the testimony of Gilmer. He is confident they will do nothingofthe kind. He suspicion'ed some thing wrong from the beginning, and upon first seeing the affidavits sent fot Love and Blossom and ques tioned them closely. The former, who claimed in his affidavit that he knew Gilmer for fifteen years, broke down and confessed that he did not know him at all, and that the affidavit was false. He said he had been induced to make it by a so- called detective engaged in hunting evi dence for the anarchists’ defence, under promise of a rich reward. Blossom stuck to his story, and when confronted with Love’s confession seemed to assume that LoVe had been scared and intimidated to retract what be knew to bo true. Every endeavor was made to suppress the facts until the case was reopened. THE HEARING OF THE MOTION. The hearing of the motion for a new trial in the ease of the seven condemned anarchists was commenced before Judge Gary in the criminal court this morning. Capt. Black, on behalf of the condemned men, offered an affidavit which declared that special bailiff Henry F. Rice, who summoned nearly all of the panel from which the jury was obtained, had made a remark to a merchant named Favor, on Wabash avenue, to the effect that he knew his business and summoned men who would hang the anarchists. The attorney asked that Mr. Favor and a man named Stevens should be summoned and ques tioned as to the alleged remark. The slate’s attorney expressed surprise that counsel for defense should make such allegations without first informing him of their purpose to attack an officer of the court. The court replied to Cap’ain Black that there was no date attached to t..e affidavit. The court also said that there was no prece dent for taking oral proceedings at this stage of the case,and overruled the motion to summon the persons named. Counsel for the prisoners then read the motioh for a new trial which has already been printed. This embodied an affidavit by T. J. Morgan to the effect that lie bad heard Juror Denker decla e shortly after the Haymarket meeting that the whole crowd of anarchists ought to be hanged. An affidavit by Michael Cull was also read to the effect that Juror Adams had expressed himself in about the same language. Au affidavit by E. A. Stevens was also read, which stated that Mr. Favor had told him that Rice, a depu ty, had said that “the anarchists would hang as sure as death.’’ The affidavits of A. H. Love and Orrin Blossom were then read, declaring that they had seen Witness Gilmer in a saloon on Van Buren street before and after the bomb throwing. This affidavit was to impeach Gilmer, who swore that he saw Schnaubel throw the bomb. The affidavit of an Indianopolis saloon- keeper, J. H. Delnce, was then read, citing the fact of the presence of a mysterious stranger in his place a few days before the bomb throwing, who intimated that trouble would occur in Chicago. Mr. Zeisler, one of defendants’ counsel, made au affidavit that the jury had taken notes during the trial which was contrary to law. . , , . .. The prisoners were in court during the forenoon. They all showed the effects of their imprisonment. Schwab and Fischer, in particular, had very white faces. Capt. Black read to the court extracts from State’s Attorney Grinnell’s closing address to the jury, criticising what he termed the objectionable and unlawful portions of it. „ T ,, , Assistant State’s Attorney Walker read several affidavits on behalf of the prosecu tion which were filed this morning in re ply to those previously presented by the attorneys for the defendants. Capt. Black urged the court to grant a postponement of the arguments on the motion when all the affidavits had been read and put in as a part ot the record, but- Judge Gary still declined to grant it. Finally be adjourned court til) J p. ill., at which time he said he would give his decision on the matter of postpone ment. . At 2 p. m. Judge Gary asked for that part of the record referring to the exaniin it'on of Mr. Denker as a juror, Solomon handed him the record, which _ he proceeded to look over for his own satisfaction. “Does your honor grant us further time to prepare affidavits regarding Cull s repu tation?” asked Black. , ,, _ “I see no reason for granting fort her time for filing an affidavit on that subject, the court said. ,, , , After a good deal more talk about pro ducing more contradictory affidavits, Cap tain Black asked whether the arguments could not go over till next Tuesday’. “I will not consent to that,” the states attorney’said. The court refused to grant a continuance and Black took exception. He made an argument, saying he had a right to answer impeaching affidavits filed by the states attorney, and he proposed to secure the benefit of that right in a higher court. Captain Black then made his argument on the motion fora new trial. Counsel, during the course of his speech, was rebuked by the court for making a wrong statement respecting the ruling of the court. The senior counsel for the anarchists had not concluded when the court ad journed. Further hearing was deterred till Monday. A Charlestonian Commits Suicide Charleston, 8. C., October 1.—The dead body of Alexander W. McLoy was found ->* I'nnr.fr river. three miles from the city. Yesterday morning Mr. McLoy left homo and went to a gun powder magazine, near which his body was found. When he reached there he took off his coat and vest and cut his throat with a knife. After doing this ho walked a distance of thirty feet and tum bled Into the marsh, whero he was found this afternoon, attention being attracted to the spot by a flook of buzzards hovering near. Mr. McLoy was a member of the late firm of McLoy, Rice & Co., which was compelled to cease business on ac count of the death of Mr. Rice, the New York member of the firm. He had lost all he owned and had been in dispair since his business closed. It is supposed that mental abberation brought on by despondency caused the suicide. Mr. McLoy was about 55 years old and one of the most highly respected men iu the community. He left a wife and three children. WIGGINS ON WEDNESDAY. How lie Spent the Bay Awaiting the Verification of Ills Prediction. Ottawa, Ont., September 29.—Wiggiu feels as confident as ever that his storm will prove the greatest blow of the cen tury. He worked away all day counting up long rows of figures in his office in the finance department and was besieged with callers. He talks very enthusiastically over the anticipated occurrences of this evening, taking every opportunity to roundly denounce his numerous assailants. Heaps of unanswered letters littered his desk when the Times’ correspondent called. The professor, after complaining of tlie increasing demand for his photo graph and autograph, said: “My storm is well nigh over the broad Atlantic. It will strike the meridian of Halifax at 4 p. m., and look out for high tides there as well as at Quebec. I see that storm signals were raised in England on the 26th, the meteorological bureau issuing the following warning: ‘Hoist the south cone, A deep depression is appearing off our northwest coasts.’ Of course vve have not had any tidings of any storm, for the meteorological bureau refuses to give any advices regarding my storms, and you may also have observed that our dominion meteorological office for the last three days has dropped the probabilities for our ! gulf ports and the lower St. Lawrence. | “ I distinctly assert that the storm will i bo mainly confined to the Atlantic. The vast hurricane—for such it will be—will j sweep down old ocean, tear past Bandy Hook, and continue on its mad career. I cannot venture to predict regarding the destruction, but I have fears for mariners this very night. The destruction on the sea will likely bo appalling. The strain ir. the southern states, especially below the thirtieth parallel, will be intense. Good ness only knows who will escape the fury of the elements. Bermuda will come in for a share of the disturbance, and I would not be surprised to learn of earthquakes in Texas, Mexico, Central America and California. Southern Europe is also liable to experience a lively shaking up. For the last time let me as sure the people of the south that I have been terribly maligned. The report that I have instanced a list of southern cities which would be devastated is a base and cruel fabrication.” Wiggins declares that his storm is now under way. He received the following dispatch this evening from Silas Berry, of Moncton, New Brunswick: “Earthquake shocks here last night. Prediction veri fied.” ON THE TRACK.

Paris, October 1. — The will of Duke D’Aumale, bequething his great estates at Chantilly with all their appurtenances, works of art, books and revenues to the French institute in trust for the people of France, is dated in 1884. The duke ox- plains that he wishes to have the transfer made now for the express purpose of avoid ing the legal hamperings which might be instituted by claimants or heirs after his death. The gift is accompanied by but one condition, and that is that the prop erty must be preserved intact as it shall be on the day it comes into the possession of the trustees. The estates are to be called Cande Museum, are to bo opened to the public at least twice a week during six months of the year and the revenues are to be applied to keeping the whole of the estates in proper order and to the acquirement of additional works of art to enrich the mag nificent collections with which the estates are already endowed, to pensioning indi gent authors and artists, and to furnishing prizes for the encouragement of the adop tion of scientific and artistic causes. A separate clause of the will authorizes the sale of the Duke D’Auitiaie’s domains at Dolus to pro vide money for the preliminary expenses which may attend the transfer and trans formation of the Chantilly estates from their present private character to that for which they are bequeathed.

Ilorrilile Murder of n Young Woman Her Body Discovered iu ,-t IVeii -Pursuit of Ike Nunoosed Miscreant. Farmington, Mo., September 30.—A brutal and horrible murder of a young woman named Annie Veath, daughter of a respectable old German named Peter Vuatli, was committed ill St. Genevieve county, about Id miles from this place, yes terday. While the mother of the young woman was absent at a neighbor’s and the boys were at work in the field, some vil lainous tramp went to the house, murdered her uml threw the body in tho well, where it was found by the family. Some of the furniture drawers were opened, as if roll- i bery was the object of the murder, Iml I whether the girl was outraged before be ing killed is not known. Sheriff Jokerts, I i of St. I; e ir re i ;umty, passed through here this morning on the hunt of the vil- | | lain, having w-mred the measure of the j i man’s track at _.ie house, which he had j I traced some distance in this direction. | A wan with a dark mustache and dressed ) in dark clothes had been to the house dur- , ing the day before the murder was oom- i initted and wanted to know ifhe could get i a laneh for himself and partner, saying he would return in a short time. The young j woman’s brother was at the house after ‘ this visit, and was told of the man being there, but pnid no further attention to it, j and went to work again. Great excite- j liient prevails in the vicinity, and if the | guilty party were caught there would | likely bo a necktie party, with Judge i Lynch as chief manager. A reward of 1 $200 has been offered for the apprehension of the murderer. return. The Mirnnda crossed the starting line at 10:50 mid the Sachem at 10:58, the latter holding tho windward position. Tho Wind was blowing 15 miles an hour, with a heavy sea. At 11:20 the yacht came about and tho Sachem crossed tho Miranda’s bow a-half mile ahead. At 11:28 both yachts tacked to the starboard and it looked as if the Sachem was 2 miles nhend. Both yachts tacked to the southward at 12:53, the Sachem being about two milos to the windward. The Sachem finally Avon the race at 3:50, the Miranda crossing tho line at 4:03, eight minutes behind. Tho Knights uf Lnbur. Newark, N. J., October 1.—Delegates from district assembly No. 61, Knights of Labor, will leave for Richmond to-morrow night. They go pledged to work for har mony between the knights and trades unions. They will also urge the formation of a state assembly, to which shall be re ferred all matters with reference to strikes and lockouts, instead of having to refer these matters to tho general executive board at Philadelphia, as is the easo now. THREE HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR. F.fl’orls nl Inqnovemnits Ir. Locomotives— I’onsl- Mlttlos iu Hi:! 11":m* 1 Speed. San Francisco Chronicle. When George Stephenson asserted his ability to run passenger coaches at a speed of twelve to fifteen miles an hour, scien tific and practical men deemed him fit for a lunatic asylum, but time lins shown that trains may be run at a much greater veloc ity without materially adding to the dan ger ot railway travel. The flight of the fast express on the Pennsylvania railway u marked example of the possibilities in the way of sustaining high rates of speed. This road now runs the fastest train in America. Nine hundred and twelve miles, including seven stops, arc accomplished in 254 hours, and the average time is 36.30 miles an hour. A portion of the distance is run at the rate of 75 miles an hour. At a speed of 60 miles an hour tlic driving wheels of the locomotive on this train make 268* revolutions a minute. William Vander- bllt'sspurt ot eighty-one miles in sixty-one minutes on tlic Now York Central is de clared to lie the highest rate of speed ever attained in this country, but this speed was not a surprise to good engineers, many of whom are firm in their belief that 100 miles an hour will yet be accomplished on American roads. Thirty-one years ago Col. Meiggs read a paper beforo the New York farmers’ club on “Future Traveling,” in which he ex pressed thebcliof that railroad carH could be safely propelled bv steam at the rate of 300 miles an hour. He said: “Theemperor of Russia lias taken the first great step to ward what I deem the ultimatum of rail road travel. Instead of cutting what 1 call a mere drill through the country and going around everything in the way for a straight line, he has cut a broad way for 500 miles from St. Petersburg to Moscow. He bos made it all the way 200 feet wide, so that the engineer sees everything on tho road. This is part of the future—the rail road from point to point with a mathe matical line; the rails ten times stronger than are now used ; the locomotives on wheels of far greater diameter; the gauge of a relative breadth; the signals and ds ' " ini the gates ol‘the walls all closed—then in times perfectly settled ; the roads on both sides efuring the transit of trains having A Murderer lluaired. New Orleans, October 1.—Charles Edwards, colored, alias Charles Gorham, who killed his mistress, Hettie Refuge, in Algiers, June 20, was executed to-day in the grounds of the parish prison in the presence of fifteen witnesses allowed by the law. The drop fell at 12:55. Jealousy caused the trouble between Edwards and his paramour. He acknowledged the kill ing from the time of his arrest, and said lie was willing to hang for it. Tin* Sarliom Wins. Newport, It. I., October 1,—In view of the favorable weather it was decided to have a race to-day between the yachts Sachem and Miranda over the Bbiclc 20 miles to windward and — _ gi - stead of traveling 100 miles an hour, we shall more safely travel 300 miles an hour.” One of the latest efforts at improvement in locomotives is that of a Frenchman named Estrade, who has constructed an en gine which lie calls LaParislenne. La Par- isienne, when watered and fired, weighs forty-two tons. Its driving-wheels, six in number, arc eight and a half feet in diame ter. The cylinders arc on tiie outside,with valve boxes on the top. The diameter of each cylinder is eight, and u half inches, and tho length of stroke is two feet and three and a half inches. This engine is built for high speed,and will carry a press ure of 200 pounds to the square inch above the atmosphere or an absolute pressure of 215 pounds. Estrade’s engine is designed to run at the average ofseventy-eight miles an hour. ON "’CHANGE. AfiVrtinu tile Prices of Storks New York, October 1.—The confidence* excited in higher prices last evening was rudely shaken this morning by the report that Pennsylvania bail withdrawn from tlie pool. Rumors of this nature caused a pressure to sell. The prices on the board having undergone a sudden change, tlic room traders sold everything, thus help ing the downward movement. With the exception of a slight rally toward 11 o’clock, the decline was almost continuous until after noon,when a better understand ing of the true situation caused a reversal of general senti ment, and a movement won made to buy back a part of the stock. The general tendency of prices for the re mainder of the day was upward. Trunk lino stocks suffered most. A few slight ad vances were made in the early dealings, but the whole market soon weakened and declines ranging up to IS were established in the first hour, which was checked in tlic afternoon and the market became gen erally firm and closed firm.

A Woman Apparently Dead Brought to Life by Hypodermic Injection. Ntraipe Case* of KesuseltAtlon Vouc hed for l>y a Reputable I’hyslelan uf Cbieaqo -Ho More Need of Oofllns. Chicago, September 30.—Tho Evening Journal to-day will publish u case of re 1 markable resuscitation from supposed death of a young married woman named Mrs. Fraser, the daughter of Mr. T. It. Stevens, who with his family came here from New York to live some years ago. Ou July 30 lust Mrs. Fraser gave birth to a child, and in August, after several days’ illness, was pronounced dead by her at tending physicians. Dr. Mark H. Laekerstein, who was also attending Mrs. Fraser, says: “1 did every thing I eould think ot to restore respira tion, without effect. Ten minutes must have elapsed, though at the lime 1 wus not in a position to watch the passage of time. Then it suddenly struck me that l would like to try a hypodermic injection of solution of ni’tro-glycerino. I took up ton drops of it and let the corpse have the full benefit of it. The first minute there was not a pulsa tion, but just a gasp; that was all. I look ed at my watch and there wore four such gasps distributed over the first sixty minutes, but that is not life. Ill the second minute there were six respirations, and a slight heart pulse could be heard, but no pulse could De felt. • In the third minute It was ISO and upward, so that it could not be counted. Her face flushed. Her oyes began to roll in their sockets. All the muscles relaxed from tho extreme stiffness of death. All the con traction of t.hc limbs gradually relaxed. Speculation came back to her eyes, and she became conscious. In my opinion in all cases of shock or collapse this thing ought to be tried before they arc given over for lost. There is nothing peculiar or sensational about it all. The only thing is, I have been the lirsl person to try it. If ever 1 have saved a life, it is this one.” The doctor relates the following: “The lady is a young woman between 19 and 20 years of" age. She was confined July 30 of a male baby, under very groat difficulty. It was an instrumental ease. She W’as up and about, but in the middle of August be gan to complain of a little pain. On the 21th day of the month she seemed to have colic pains,which continued off and on.’untij the evening of the 25th, when the pains became very severe, and I was sent for. 1 have here (taking from his vest a little bottle filled with a clear, fluid-like water) a 1 per cent, solution of alcohol of nitro glycerine. It is a remedy w'hich for some little time has been used for epilepsy and things of that sort, and for some forms of kidney troubles also. It has nil effect on the blood vessels, the lontron blood-vessel arteries. We give it iu doses of one drop, a drop and a half, two drops, or maybe three drops in some cases. We give it through the mouth. It was never before given hypodermically, so far os I am aware, until I made tne trial, thank good ness with success. “It was a case of gall stones. Many per sons die of shock. As they try to pass the stones thov gradually sink away from pain and die from shock or collapse. On the night of the 30th she collapsed. She lost her pulse. Her temperature fell, too; 1 do not know how low, for our thermometers do not begin to register low enough. Thoj are only marked to 90’, but T think her temperature must have been down to 92 at the least. Her father, mother, brother and husband stood around her bed, and all had given her up for dead. They spoke of her in the past tense, and they were very sorrowful.” “Just before the woman collapsed, her last words were, ‘Good God, the cold wave of death is over me.’ She said she wanted to drink something, and had a pain in her insides; then there seemed to be a rush through her bowels, and when that wus ove*’ she knew nothing more. He called for the consulting physician, Dr. Adams Allen, who cmno about 1 o’clock in the morning, ami he wus pretty well pleased when he heard what bad been done. In two or three days’ time twenty-eight gall stones came from her. The three largest wore from one and one-half to one and three-quarter inches long and two and three-fourth inches in circumference. She I ms since been to my place two or three times, mull was very glad to see her. It is a highly Interesting case.” “Ilow do you account for the effect of the injection?” “it promoted action of the arteries; they, causing the vessels to dilate, enabled the blood to flow, and when it begins to flow anywhere it would not be long till it is flowing through the heart. It simply sets the machinery going again. I never held a pulse that went us fast as hers did. I am just now waiting for one or two cases to curry my experiments farther, f want a case of' collapse from an over dose of chloroform. In my opinion there is no use of any one dying from mi overdose of chloroform now, or from shock while undergoing surgical operations. And there will be this ad vantage in the latter case : The operation can be completed without any How of blood to impede itH progress, and then when it is all over, the nitro-glyceriDe can be administered aii(i"animation restored.” The reporters for the Journal confirmed all the main facts in the case by inter views with members of tlie family. The patient is at present enjoying excellent health. The I Hr llrht Stall'll)(*nt.

He Won lit Not OiiiIVkk. St. Louis, October 1.—A special from Steeiville, Mo., says: At 11 o’clock last night a body of masked men went to the jail where Wallace, tlie alleged murderer of the Logan family was confined, broke down the door in spite of the resistance of the sheriff, took the man out aud hanged him to a tree.

Correspond cm ico Enquirer-bun. Wash inmton, fkvptembrr 27.—My letter finds me In !•■», and it is unfinished. Time steals away, where it gees we. scarcely know. Washington is n grand place with its elegant buildings, concrete drives, love ly parks, etc. We have been to Corcoran’s art gallery, museum, new state house, but enjoyed most of ail the perfect view south of the president’s house. The lawns, love ly flowers, grand monument aud the Poto mac stretching its blue waters far and wide. In a ride we took in tlie city, and find it growing wonderfully in beauty and magnitude. It will be pleasant for some of our people to know Miss Lipscomb’s school ranks among the best. My friend knew whereof she spoke, as her daughter graduated there with second honors. I nope some of our girls will bring with them tlie first. Miss Clara DeGrafFenreid has bee. teaching t here. She now has an office. She will be remembered as at one time a leading brill iant society woman in Mac on. The avenues in Washington for a woman to make herself independent are wide and numerous; and it is considered a greater honor to earn one’s own living than to be I a helpless burden on a poor salaried father or brother. No woman enjoys the contact with the world, but if there is no strong arm between her and duty she should take up the cross <it may be) and wear Tht* Kiiflit Kind of* Honhpn.

Charleston, October 1.—There was a slight shock here about 1 o’clock this with patience and gratitude that God never fails to give when asked. Our lives are seldom what we hope or plan, but in every trial there is some hidden sweet, and if we strengthen our minds aud enlarge our hearts, work surely brings its reward. The summer is ended, and the pleasure gleaners turn their faces homeward. How glad we will be to once more enter home —a small word, yet hallowed by memories that make life sweet, and crowned with peace, joy and rest we find nowhere else. I thank you for honoring me with a space in your columns, and tender my best wishes for happiness and success. Wanderer. Nominated for CoiigreNN. Dallas.
