Thf Prisoners llrow Kxcltnl anti Mnkr Si obcs In Tliclr Own Orfcnxr— Sploi Delivers » Usrttiigm'—Tallis liy Ollier Det'endents, Chicago, October 7.—Judge Gary in the the criminal court this morning overruled the motion for a new trial in the cases of the eight anarchists charged with the Haymarket massacre, and confirmed the verdict of the jury that Spies, Parson, Fielden, Schwab, Engel, Fischer aha Lingg should be hanged, and that Neebe should suffer imprisonment for fifteen years in the state penitentiary. The court did not conclude his decision nntil 12:30 o’clock, and owinp to the intercession of counsel for the prisoners he deferred pass ing sentence upon them until 2 o’clock this afternoon. When the court was opened this after noon the defendant, Spies, at once ad dressed the court with manuscript in hand. He spoke at great length, and said: “Not the slightest evidence was ever S reduced to show that I had anything to o with throwing the missle, unles you believe the testimony of the accomplices of the state’s attorney and Bonfield, and the testimony of Thompson and Gilmer. If there was no evidence to show that I was responsible for it, then my execu tion and the execution of the verdict is nothing but willful, malicious and deliber ate murder. We were convicted by a jury packed to convict us. I charge the state’s attorney and Bonfield with a heinous con spiracy to commit murder.” The prisoner then dissected some of the evidence given for the prosecution and declared that the witnesses for the defence were spirited away. The speech was very rambling throughout, as the following extracts will show: “The system of wages is the root of the present social iniquities. Iniquities so monstrous as to cry to heaven.” “Grinnell has informed ustliatanorchism was on trial. Anarchism belongs to spec ulative philosophy and not a word was said about anarchism at Haymarket, but if anarchism is on trial, I am proud to say I am an anarchist. You may pronounce vour sentence, on me, honorable judge, but let it be known that in the year 1833, in the state of Illinois, eight men have not lost their faith in human progress. It is an old question. Look over the pages of the history of Greece and Rome. There you will see the records of the self same struggle, the ruling class dominating the poorer one. Honorable judge, the demons of hell would join in laughter that follows upon your sentence. If the opinion of the court is to become the law, then there is no person in this country who could not lawfully be hung. If you carry that ruling into effect you will be responsible for the blood that will be shed, and the blood of the innocent will come upon you. Let the world know what a civilized and Christian country in this, in which the Vanderbilts, Jay Goulds and the rest pose ns the rescuers of law and liberty. “Grinnell has repeatedly said, ‘Our country is an enlightened country.’ Well,he may put that in" his album. If you want to stamp out conspiracies and agitators, you must stamp out every factory lord who has made his wealth upon the unpaid labor of his employes, and landlord, who has made his money from the ground-down and oppressed laborers and farmers. It is a fact that a few men control all the mechanical appliances, out of which they make gold by sacrificing the lives of little children, while able-bodied men are starving. But we cannot go back. We are advancing. The tide will not be stopped. In social ism is to bo found the doctrine of co-oper ation. It teaches that labor-saving ma chines are the property of the state, as are all the mines and natural resources of the country. Society will eventually come to this and will demand its rights, though you erect a gallows on every street corner. If you think you can crush out these ideas which are gaining ground every day by sending us to the gallows you will fail. Then flourishing his arms widely. Spies fairly shrieked: “I shall die proudly, de fiantly for the cause of justice!. There is Socru'tes! There is Galilend! This is Giordano Bruno! There is Christ! Why the number cannot be estimated of those who have trodden in these paths, and we are ready to follow them!” Michael Schwab then began : “It is not much I have to say, and I would say noth ing at all did I not fear silence would look like cowardly approval of what has been done here. lain condemned to die for writiug newspaper editorials.” The anarchist then went on to justify these articles by going over in detail all the real or imaginary evils of the accumu lation of capital and the injustice of tin- relations between the employer and em ployed. He concluded b,v disavowing all knowledge of the man who threw the bomb, and protested that he intended to do no violence at Haymarket. Oscar Neebe, the next speaker, had no sooner taken the floor than he burst into violent abuse, calling Stale Attorney Grin nell a cur and his assistants,Messrs. \\ ailar and Furthnan, scoundrels; saying that there was only one gentleman in t lie crown, and that was Mr. Ingham. Tite police were assailed, and in short, Neebc’s speech was a tirade of abuse, vilifying the police and the authorities. Adolph Fischer’s turn came next, and he was on the point of admitting iiis connec tion with the “revenge” circular, when Solomon, mindful of the bearing it might have before the supreme court. Intel to cheek him. It was useless. Fischer sanl: “I protest against being sentenced to death, because I have committed no crime. I was tried in this jury room for murder, and I was convicted of anarchy. I don’t deny J was one of the parties who summonea this meeting in Haymarket, but i know no more about the throwing of the bomb than Grinnell does.” Here Solomon rose, and going over to Fischer, whispered something in his ear. Fischer, turning round, said sharply: “Don’t interrupt me. I know what I am talking about.” Solomon retired and Fischer continued: “I do not deny that I got up the circular and had a line put in calling on the work ingmen to come armed. I bad ray reasons. I am prepared to die for the principles on account of the holding of which I feel I am to be sentenced to death. That is all I have to say.” Lingg then began speakink. Tlilm-s In a Cliurrli. Notre Dame, Ind., October 7.—Early yesterday morning thieves broke into the church of the university of Notre Dame and stole two crowns from the shrine ol the Blessed Virgin. The larger was a; magnificent piece of artistic metal work j presented to the university by thirty i American ladies, among them being Mrs. i Gen. Sherman. Five Parisian workmen were constantly engaged for three months in making the crown, and twelve others I for two weeks. It contained twenty-three | and a-half pounds of pure I I silver and nearly two pounds of pure gold, ; | sixty-five torquoises a-:.' thirty-six I ■ other precious stones ft:..* - ixteen m’inin- 1 turn paintings on pon„ ..mi, decorated, ' embossed and hammered work. The smaller crown was an exquisite piece of workmanship and the gift to the Notre j j Dame from Empress Eugenia. It was I j awarded a prize for the best jewelry work i j at the Paris exposition of 1867. The thieves broke the crowns into pieces and ran away j with their booty. They were followed and : j the one who carried the spoils was e-ip- i tured and is now in jail in the neighbor-' ] ing city of South Bend. The crowns are: j ruined beyond repair and are a great loss.

At the close of the morning session mat ters were exactly in the same position as they were last evening. The discussion of the Morrison case which had then begun, was resumed immediately after the open ing ol' the session and was continued until the adjournment for dinner. The hour of adjournment is 12 o’clock, but to-day it was nearly 1 o’clock before a recess was taken. When the afternoon session began the Morrison case was once more taken up, and it was expected it would be dis posed of within an hour and that the ease of the St. Louis delegation would then be proceeded with. It is not expected that this case will occupy much time, us no issues such ns were presented in the Mor rison case ure involved.

The season, however, has been more favorable than iast year up to this period, excepting in Mississippi, wh -re too much wet weather is complained of. Pick ing is progressing rapidly throughout the district, and it is estimated that 15 per cent, of the crop had been gathered up to the first of October. The damage to the crop from the drouth, the shedding and rust sustained in August, has not been aggregated by the unfavora ble seasons and the prospective yield of the district indicates an increase of fully 7* per cent, as compared with last year. Arkansas and Tennessee show most favora ble prospects.

Sofia, October 7.—A new newspaper, the Independent Bulgaria, stigmatizes General Kaulbars as “a rebel fermenting a rebellion among the people and the army.” It also urges thu government to bind General Kaulbars umi send him across the frontier. THE ANTI-RUSSIAN PARTY. Tlie bureau of the party supporting the government has issued nil appeal to the people and the army not to allow General Kaulbars to drive or bribe them. The ap- peal^says “rather uphold the honor of the country and army and show yourselves worthy of independence.” The officers of the Shumla garrison have telegraphed to the government asking if it is true, as is reported, that Bulgaria intends to make war on Russia. The government has promptly denied that any such intention was entertained and warned thu inquiring blllcers that they would he punished if they again questioned the government about, ilsnf- iairs. Tho government iius notified the foreign consuls at Sofia that General Kaul- bars through the Russian consul at Rust- chulc, ordered the military commander there to release political conspirators in his custody, threatening to hold him re sponsible if lie disobeyed, promising him as a reward for a compliance promo tion to the rank of commander general when the Russians arrive, and informing him that the penalty of a refusal would be put down to the ranks. The commander informed the troops under liis command that ho hud received and delivered the command, and the soldiers applauded his conduct. Gen. Kaulbars on the route on Plevna summoned the mayor of the city to meet him, and urged the official to pe tition the czar to occupy Bulgaria. RESIGNS AS REGENT. M. Karaveloff has resigned as regent.

And thus it is that the time-honored but silent occu pant of the undertaking establishment on Marais street has been assigned to THE CURIOSITY DEPARTMENT of the corner at the central station. After tho appearance of tho Titnes- Democrat yesterday morning, the street fronting N’o. 37 Marais street was the sot ne of a motley crowd, who had gone thither for the purpose of getting a glimpse at the iron casket and its awe-in spiring contents. In the meantime, how ever, it occurred to Juke Butler, tho worthy colored person in charge of the promises, that he had a bonanza in tlie back yard, so Unit with the material at hand he at once organized a sideshow, fixing THE ADMISSION FEE at tlie very reasonable sum of 15 cents each, with iio “deadheads” save the talent as brought into requisition in the business. Butler had succeeded in raking in a few dollars, and the venture had begun to promise exceeding well, when Coroner Stanhope Jones presented himself for ad mission at No. 37. Butler mentioned the 15 cents. He was doing business on a strictly cash basis, and if I lie show was worth seeing it was certainly worth being paid for. To this insinuation Dr. Jones pnid no attention, simply saying that ho was a city official, und il he (Butler) was not particularly careful lie would, hy legal process, compel him to pay $60 for every day the remains of tho unknown man had been on tho premises. Butler had already stated that they had been there OVER TWENTY-NINE YEARS. Hence, matters and things “kind’er took a turn,” as it were, and Butler expressed his willingness to retire from tlie show business, in fact, make a complete sacrifice of all previous aspirations in that line, and to immediately make a transfer to Dr. Jones of his right, title and interest in the property in question. Suffice it to sav. the casket aud its contains were thereupon placed on one of the city vehicles and con veyed to tlie Central station, on Carondelet street.

A POOL MAN'S VIEW. Wliat K\-I’rt*Hiill-til Ootri-li, of the Kisullng Until, Says oniainrniir Patllson's Ft-1ter. Philadelphia, October 6.—In an inter view to-day with a reporter for the In quirer, relative to Gov. l’attison’s letter to Attorney-General Cassiday, regarding rail road combinations, cx-i’resident Gowen, of tlie Reading road, said: “I cannot un derstand it. The governor seems to think that Pennsylvania products should not bring good prices. Wo mine every year about 35,000,000 tons of anthracite coal in Pennsylvania, of which three-quarters is sent to other ports. The commercial prosperity of Pennsylvania depends upon her ability to find steady markets at good prices for all her products. But tho governor seems to think that it is better for Pennsylvania to dig out its valuable coal and give it to the other status for nothing. This confounds all my ideas of political econo my. Again, there arc probably 100,000 workingmen engaged in the coal traffic. The better tho price of coal the more we get for wages; and it is now too late to deny that good wages and prosperity go hand in hand. If the governor and the at torney-general got after these 100,000 men with their quo warrantos to compel them to reduce wages, there will tie a pretty kottio of fish about election time in tho coal region. I hope Lieutenant-Governor Black will be able to see that the row is not laid to his door.” “But cannot the attorney-general do anything to the Reading Railroad Compa ny 7” “You might ask him that question. But one thing appears iucongruous iu tho whole matter.” “Wliat is that?” “The combination this year has been un der the control of the receivers, and every body knows that the result of their com bination has been to reduce prices, and tlieir balance sheets show it. You can see their idea of managing the trade was to re strict production and reduce prices. They have a cloud of lawyers advising thorn, ana I suppose they had a legal opinion that combinations to advance prices were illegal. But they had heard that a combi nation in the coal trade was important, and so, in order to be on the safe side, they determined that their combination should reduce prices, and when the attorney- general gets after them, they can prove an alibi.” The I'rntvHtiint K|klHco|inS fmm'ntiun.
