They threw a bomb Into the midst of a line cf 210 pcHeo ' flicers, and i: exploded with fear'ul effect, mowing tbe men down like cattle, almost b fore ' he miste! of death had exploded. Toe anarchists delivered a murderous lire fn m revolvers upon the police as if their action was prearranged, and as the latter were ben tin sd on every tide, ambuscaded the effect of the fire upon the rat fer of the (fli ers was fearful. * When the p< lice had recovored from the first shock of the attack they gallantly chart-ad upon their weu'd- he murderers, shooting at every step and mowing them d wa as their fed-, low cUlcere had been b. ; the band The a. archisv fle.i iu ditiuay before the charge, hut everywhere they turned the military fires from the re volvers of tbe policemen followed them and thinned their ranks. The cowardly curs, finding that their work did not. completely annihilate the cfflce'B and that, a force large enough to cope with them was left, flew iD all directions, seeking the darkness of alleys, hallways arm side streets to escape the revengeful fire of the polioe. The collision between police and anarchists was brought about by the leaders of tbe latter, against spies, (ram F.elder and A R Per sons, endeavoring to in- cite a large mass meeting to riot and bloodshed From the socialistic headquarters theie was is sued, late In the afternoon, the fol lowing circular which was distributed throughout the laboring quarters of the city by the thousands : “Attention workingmen I A great mass meeting at 7:30 o’clock at Hay inaiket, R.ndolph street, be. ween B.splaines and Hilsied yard.

Tbe instant it struck the ground it exploded with a terrible, eulleu roar, seeming to shake the earth.

A gatling gun cunkl not have cut a wider path. A scene of horror followed, the details of which may never he known. Tne offl ‘erB were demoralized and for an Instant broke ranks, but almost in stantly recovered their presence of Blind, B fore, however, they had time to real zi the destruction which had been wrought tu their ranks, crowds of anaroulsts gathered In front and on either side of them a. and opened fire with revolvers at almost point blank range. The first volley of the mob was quite as fearful in lt« (fleet as was th>- explosion of tne In mb, but the cfillers did not lose their presence of mind. O ilers fl w thick and fasl from .be captains and lieutenants, and within tbe b; 1 fee: possible space of time they were charging I he murderous assassins on tvery hand, dealing DEATH AND DESTRUCTION to them with their revolvers The anarebi-te did not s shin tbe charge intact, but tied as soon as they could din iuguish tin? blue coats end bright buttons ol the cflicius through the smoke from their revolvers. The cracking of Tieee weapons was incessant for five minutes and only once was anything like a volley fi sd by either side T.iie was fi sit by 'he anarchist when .ae bomb i-x : Iou'ed in the ranks of ’tie police; thus showing they had been carefully drilling be! jre hand to act Id concert.
