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

ness in the famous trial, was iuytheir com

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.

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

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.”

THE WILL OF DUKE D’AUMALE.
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.

immediate relaxation of the tension be
tween Russia and Bulgaria is therefore
considered probable.

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

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

i of St. I; e ir re i ;umty, passed through
here this morning on the hunt of the vil- |

woman’s brother was at the house after ‘
this visit, and was told of the man being

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*

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

One of the latest efforts at improvement

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

New York, October 1.—The confidence*

rudely shaken this morning by the report
that Pennsylvania bail withdrawn from

exception of a slight rally toward 11

until after noon,when a better understand

The general tendency of prices for the re

A Woman Apparently Dead Brought to

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.

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. After a few minutes they
let him down, thinking he would confess,
but he continued to protest his innocence,
and leading citizens finally persuaded the
lynchers to surrender over the victim to
t lic sheriff and let the law take its course,
morning, but so slight it was not felt by a
majority of the peoplo, There were slight
shocks at Summerville last night, but none
of them have been more perceptible than
the tremors felt almost every day since
August 31. All reports of heavy shocks
and tidal waves are untrue. The weather
here to-day is bright and pleasant. The
city is full of workmen and everything is
ns quiet and confident as could be wished.

Atlanta, October 1.—The technological
commission appointed by the state to
select ii location for the state technological
school met to-day in the capital. The
board is composed of Messrs N. E. Harris,
of Macon, 8. M. Inman, Atlanta, E. R.
Hodgson, Athens, Columbus Heard,
Greensboro, Oliver Porter, Cov
ington. Commissioner Harris was
selected chairman. Resolutions were
passed that no bids should be re
ceived after to-day; that all bids should be
filed and opened before the discussion,
after which the timo of the discussion
should be unlimited. Bids were filed by
Athens, Atlanta, Macon, Milledgeville and
Peufield. The bid of Athens was submitted
by Mr. Tinsley Rucker. It is to give $35,000
cash, and on tho part of tho university to
give a site for the location on the universi
ty campus for the needed workshops,
buildings, etc., the Rock College philo
sophical apparatus, chemical laboratory,
schools of civil engineering, applied chem
istry, physics, agriculture, mechanical
drawing, engineering instruments and
testing machines, models aud drawings,
the museum of minerals and geological
specimens, the university library,
a university diploma and the
benefit of tho Charles McDonald
Brown scholarship fund. These it values
at $163,500. Then it offers the services of
the professors of chemistry, modern lan
guages, physics, civil engineering and
drawing, mathematics and mechanics.
The salaries of these professors was $12,000.
As they would be required under tlie cur
riculum of the Worcester, Mass.,
institute of industrial science,
which had been selected as the model for
the school, this amount would thus be
saved annually to the technological insti
tute. This amount was equal to the inter
est upon $200,066, which, added to the
former amount, made Athens' total
bid equal $430,000. Atlanta’s bid
was presented by Mayor Hillyer.
'('he choice of three sites. $70,000
cash, $50,000 from the city and $20,000 from
the citizens’ subscription and $2600 annu
ally for twenty years.
Macon’s bid was $10,000 for the purchase
of a site and $3000 for twenty-two years.
MllledguviUe’s bid was $10,000 and the
old state buildings.
Pen field’s bid was 300 acres of land and
the old Mercer college buildings.
The commission was addressed by
"i r.„ Rucker and White, of Athens, and
Hillyer, Howell and Grady, of Atlanta,
i The' former argued the desirability, and
j the latter the undesirability, of uniting
! the technological school with the state
j university. Atlanta claimed that her
; riff, r of $70,000 with the state’s ap-
J propriation of $05,000 gave $135.-
I 000 available cash with which
I to erect new buildings, purchase new
equipments ami employ new prolessors
: and found an institution in which tho
! itat.e might take an interest in fostering
and eniargening. which it would never do
I if tacked to the university. Pending
argument of the question the commission
i adjourned until to-morrow at 10 o’clock.

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

with the world, but if there is no strong
arm between her and duty she should

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.
