November 11, the Date Fixed for the Execution of the Seven Men Con demned-An Effort Will be Made to Carry the Case to the United States Supreme Court. Ottawa, 111.. Sept. 14.—The Supreme Court this morning delivered au opinion in the Anarchist case, affirming the judgment of the court below. The execution is to take place Nov. 11, l>etweeu it anil 4 o’clock. The opinion was written by Judge Magru der, who announced that the judgment of the court below is affirmed as to all and as to each and every one of the defendants. An opinion has been prepared setting forth the reasons of the affirmation of the judg ment. NOT FREE FROM ERRORS. Judge Sheldon announced that he concurred in the opinion. Judge Mulkeysaid: “It is not iny intention to offer a separate opinion as I should have done. I desire to avail myself of this occa sion to say that while I concur in the con elusions reached and also in the general view’s as entered in the opinion filed, I do not wish to bo understood as holding that the record is free from error, for Ido not think, it is. I am nevertheless of the opinion that none of the errors complained of are of such a serious character as to require a reversal of judg ment, In view or the number of defend ants on trial and the great length of time consumed in the trial, the vast amount of testimony offered and passed upon by the court, and the almost numberless rulings the court was required to make, the wonder to me is that errors were not more numerous and of a more serious character than they are. In short, aftering having fully examined the record and giving the questions arising on it my very best thought, with an earnest and conscientious desire to faithfully discharge my whole duty, I am fully satisfied that the opinion reached vin dicates the law, and does complete justice between the people of the State and the de fendants fully warranted by the law and evidence.” THE FORMAL ORDER. Justice Sheldon: “In this case the court orders that the sentence of the Superior Court of Cook county of the defendants in the indictment—August Spies, Samuel Fielden, R. Parsons, Adolph Fischer, Engel, Louis Ling and Michael Schwab—be car ried into effect by the Sheriff of Cook county on the 11th day of November next, on Friday, between tne hours of 10 o’clock in the foi'enoon and 4 o’clock in the after noon on that day.” The judgment of the court w as unanimous. The opinion makes 60,000 words. The Anarchists had no counsel here to represent them before the court when the decision was announced, and no steps were taken in their behalf. They have fifteen days in which to file a motion for a re-hearing, and thirty days from the close of the term to file a petition in support thereof This will not act as a stay of sentence, and they will have to show very strong grounds before the Court would consent to the issue of a stay of execution until a re-hearing could be had next term. ” PREMONITIONS OF THE DECISION. Chic AO*'. Sept, 14. —A special to the Mews from Ottvwa says: “At 0:30 o’clock this morning Justice Magruder began the an nouncement of the decision in the Anarchist case. Just before the opening of the court every one seemed to have a feeling that something was going to happen. Before the hour for the convening of the court the lawyers an i reporters seemed to have that feeling, and conversed with each other in subdued tones. Even Barker, the janitor, who has waited upon every •Justice of the Supreme Court that has sat upon the bench in Ottawa, trod around in opening and dusting the court room as if he were afraid of breaking the deathly stillness that pervaded the entire building. Deputy Smith faltered, and his voice trem bled as he pronounced, "Hear ye, hear ye,” as the Justices filed into court, headed by Chief Justice Sheldon. They appeared more dignified than ever. The Chief Justice waved his as sociates to their seats even with more state liness than is his wont. His nod to the Sheriff was more stiff, and his ‘: open court” less audible than on the previous day’s of the term. READING THE DECISION. Justice Magruder appeared flushed and nervous as he entered the court, room, the cause of which was evidenced a few mo ments later, when Chief Justice Sheldon turned to him and in a voice, which would have liera inaudible save for the deathly stillness which pervaded the room, said: “Justice Magruder, have you any announce ment to make;” The flushed appearance of the Justice changed to that, of a pallor and bis voice was husky as he responded: “In the ease of Yugust Spies ami others against the people of the State of Illinois, No. oil Advisenu'iu Docket.” The Chief Justice nervosuly turned the leaves of the court docket to the ease indicated, when the Justice read the decision of the Court in the “Anarchist cases.” As he commenced reading lie regained his composure. Ills voice was dear and dis tinct, until the order fixing the death penalty and date of execution, was reached, when his reading became la bored, his voice husky, and his manner showed that it was with the greatest emo tion that lie performed the duty he had been delegated by his associates to perform. Hav ing voiced the decision of the court in the most celebrated ease tliut the court has ever been called upon to decide, the Justice who marie the announcement r.t once left the bench and retired to his room. HOW THE ANAIICIIUTS OOT THE NEWS. The first official information that reached thin city was a telegram from the Court C'lerk at Ottawa to the .State's Attorney’s office hero, saying: “Anarchist eases affirmed. Execution Nov. 11.” Mr. Purcell, of the State’s Attorney’s of. flee, ran at, once to the jail with the dis- Patch. Following on his heels was a mes senger carrying a telegram for August fipU* that had I .eon sent from Ottawa hy an ngent of the Anarchists. The turnkey,who took the dispatch to cell Uf> and shoved it through the bars, lingered a moment to watch the effect, it would have on spins. The Anarchist took the message, glanced firmly at 1 lie turnkey and then withdrew to the darker end of the cell, in two minutes or mo ho called gently to the old man who sit* as a death-watch outside flio burred door, and asked him to hand the telegram to Parsons. From him it went to all the others and reached Neehe, who is only under sentence of imprisonment. Newspaper man had been rigorously shut out from the condemned men, and all ob servations hud to bo taken from outside of the cage, übout ten yards from the coll door. TIUKD TO ACPKAH COOL. It oouhl tie dimly seen thut each of the condemned men mode ostentatious efforts at roohiMt and bravado. They took seats ni their .■ell doors and road newspapers and hooka, smoked cigars, and once lung, the iltoning | bomb maker, whistled. Their wives and friends had been with them for an hour dur ing the morning, but about thirty minutes before the news oanie they were all ex cluded and the prisoners were locked up, each alone. Sheriff Matson had remained away from the jail. By his orders during the night the guards had all been doubled, in cluding the court bailiff-,. There were twenty of the Sheriff’s men on duty, ten turnkeys and guards that, are on regular duty at the jail, and six policemen who pa trolled the alleys on the outside. Capt. Schaack brought with him four detectives, this morning, who were stationed at the jail courts. Upon Capt. Schaaek the protection of the jail devolved. He professes to experience no fear of any attempts to break into the jail, and says he has taken every precaution. CROWDS AROUND THE JAIL. From the appearance of the streets on the exterior of the jail any one could tell that some great event was going on. As the news spread citizens coatless mid some bareheaded left their places of busi ness and rushed toward the jail to verify the report. Among the crowd, which was growing thicker every moment, blanched faces of rough looking foreigners could be darting hither and thither, jabber ing excitedly, with ugly grimaces, and clinching their fists as they talked to on© another. Tiie police would permit no loit ering, and therefore the crowd kept march ing up and down, discussing the all-absorb ing topic. A reporter was Capt. Black's first informant of the decision. During the moments occupied in giving the Anarchist's senior counsel the dread information, his face was a study. His underjaw dropped, his right hand went up to his forehand with a lightning-1 jerk,, and the Captain gasped: “Is it possible, ~'V, to hang!” the last resort. Great as was his apparent surprise, his manifestation of disappointment was great er. “The only remaining course for us to pursue,” said he, “is by taking the case to the United States Supreme Court. I shall imme diately go before the Supreme Court at Ot tawa and ask for reasonable time to secure a certified transcript of the record for pre sentation to the Supreme Court at Washing ton. Such proceedings are rare, but I have no doubts of tho court’s decision on that point. ” Capt. Black rose and paced the floor, with long strides, refusing to speak further. Judge Garey, who presided at the trial of the Anarchists, was surprised out of his usual calm reserve when the news of the decision reached him on the bench, where ho was trying another case. When assured that the report was true he said, “Well, all I have to say is that the verdict was a just one.” The venerable jurist thoughtfully passed his hand across his forehead for a moment and then resumed his occupation. TO FIGHT TO THE END. Joseph It. Buchanan, the Socialist editor who has charge of the Anarchist defense fund, said that should the State Supreme Court refuse to grant an appeal to the United States Supreme Court, or not pass on the matter in time to have their decision act as a supersedeas before the date set for the execution of the sentence, application will be made to a Justice of the United States Supreme Court tor a supersedeas. If these proces-es fail an apjieal to Executive clemency will lie made. Petitions for clemency will be presented to Gov. Oglesby. OGLESBY THE ONLY HOPE. W. A. Foster, one of tho lawyers for tho defense at the time of the Anarchist trial, said this evening that notwithstanding the talk of an appeal to the United States Su preme Court, the only hope now was in the mercy of Gov. Oglesby. Mr. Foster claimed to have no doubt whatever that tho sentence of four of the seven would be commuted. “Upon what do you base that opinion?” was asked.” “I have reason for believing that officers representing the prosecution will use their efforts to bring afxiut such results. I have not only my opinion that that will lie the case, but I have their word for it.” “Which of the Anarchists will have their sentences commuted, if any?” “I do not believe that Samuel Fielden, Michael Schwab, or A. R. Parsons will ever be hanged, and very much doubt whether Adolph Fischer will. As to the others, at present, I must confess, it looks pretty blue.” “Why should these four lie let off easier than the others!” “The testimony as to them was so differ ent, and their conduct and actions, as proved, was such as to warrant a difference in punishment ” Late this afternoon the condemned men were allowed to take exercise in the county jail court and speak to their friends, who were freely admitted. The prisoners had agreed among themselves to talk to no one for publication, and all attempts to interview them were resolutely resisted. Mayor Roche said that the police have been directed to permit no meeting of Anarchists, and to allow no incendiary speeches to be made. COMMENTS OF SPIES’ PAPER. The Arbeter Zietung, of which Spies was editor, in announcing the decision says: “The Supreme Court in Otttawa, the legal instrument of the capitalistic reign, has af firmed tho outrageous verdict which decided that seven of our best comrades shall suffer death for advancing the cause of the laboring people and that nil eighth shall serve h fifteen year sentence in the penitentiary. We are, however, ad herents of Spies and his comrades, and we will not cry out for revenge at an opportu nity, but we will do everything that re mains to be done.” EXCITEMENT IN NEW YORK. New York, Sept. 14. —The news of the affirmation by the SupreYne Court of Illinois of tho decision of the lower court in tho case of the condemned Anarchists caused great excitement among the New York Socialists and Anarchists. Herr Most was furious. His Anarchist paper Dv fretheit, had just gone to press when the news came. The forms were ordered from the press, Most posted a notice saying that he could not be interviewed until 4 o’clock, and that at that hour the paper would be published containing an editorial on the matter, addressed “To the Work ingmen of all Countries.” He character ized the ’Judges who made the decision as “infamous and bloodthirsty fools," and the jury as corrupt. Nov. 11 was the day set for the murder of those “heroes.” Capi talists wished to sec blood flow to show tne people that they were law and could do as thev pleased. “Workingmen,” says he, “will you peaceably allow this to take place —allow punishment of representatives who have identified themselves with your cause, these Finals of your class!'’ He asks that no stone he left unturned to assist the condemned, and says workingmen must show their military strength. An indigna tion mass meeting must be held ut once, and money raised to fight the battle of justice for the salvation of the martyrs. A mass meeting will be bold next Monday night in Union Square to protest against the hanging of the condemned men. Oerinaii-Araericuns Banished. Berlin, Sept. 14.—'Two brothers named Juergensen, who returned to their native village (Albersim), oa the Island of Fohr, four mouths ago, after an absence of twenty years in America, have been ordered U leave Prussian territory.

The Father of the Measure Sets forth the Benefits Which its Passage Will Bring About—Messrs. Gamble and Harrell Oppose the Bill as Legisla tion in Favor of a Class. Atlanta, (la., Sept. 14. —In the Senate to-day House bills for second reading were taken up. Air. Denny's bill was referred to commit tee and 200 copies nrdenxl printed. On motion of Air. Jackson, the Glenn bill was taken up and put upon its passage, the original bill and substitute by the Senate Educational Committee. Senator Wright, of the First district, moved that the bill lie made tho special order for Thursday next. On this the yeas were 14 and the nays 14. President David son voted ave, and the bill >xill be heard next Thursday. In the House. The Horn* met at 9 o’clock this morning. The bill of Mr. Candler, of DeKalh, to pay to Mrs. A. E. Word the full imi-diem of the late Senator E. Al. Word was recommitted. The special order was taken up. It was tho hill by Air. McCord, of Richmond, to fix and regulate the hours of labor in all cotton and woollen manufactories, no as to provide' for only ten hours of work per day. Air. AlcCord supported the hill in a well defined line of argument. He said the Slate was committed to the policy of the bill. Georgia has always taken an interest in everything beneficial hi her people. He cited the laws of several States in support of the bill. In Connecticut and California the eight-hour law is in vogue. In Mary land the ten-hour law is in force. Tho laws of several States were read in regard to the age which children must attain before working in manufacturing establishments, and also those affecting tho employment of females. A message was received from the Gover nor rft this juncture, announcing approval of the following acts: To appropriate $9,000 for completing the Georgia Institute for the Deaf and Dumb. To establish a system of public schools in the city of Covington. To incorporate the Norffi and South Short Railway Company. To extend the limits of Atlanta, so as to put Piedmont Park under police regulu tio s - DEMANDED BY THE PEOPLE. Mr. Lamar, of Richmond, said it had been argued that the bill under discussion was unconstitutional and radically wrong. This was untrue. The people demanded it, and thev were always conservative. The bill should pass, for the fact that it affects females and children, if for nothing else. There were 900 women nlone employed in the Engle and Phoenix Mills, at Columbus, who would be much benefited. Air. Harrell—lf the Legislature has the power to regulate the hours of work, has it not also tho power to regulate wages? Air. Lamar—l think not. Wo cannot regulate wages, but we can fix the hours of work. The nill does not come in contact with wages. No nation can thrive in inanu facturing that does not look to protection of the “bone and sinew.” If such manufactur ing Htates ns Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, and others have tried this “ten hour law,” and it has worked so well, it does seem that it would work well in Georgia. If we pass this bill the cream of labor will flock into the State. Air. Gamble, of Jefferson, thought that tho work should lie left optional. He was willing to limit the work of all under 16 years to ten hours, but all others should fie allowed to work a* they saw fit. If we pass this bill the next Legislature will lm asked to regulate work on farms, and the next one will be asked to regulate the hours of den tists. and finally classes will be asking for regulations. Mr. Harrell, of Webster, thought this bill the most mischievous law brought before the House He did not see how the Legis lature had the right to make legislation of this kind for any class. It is just as right and proper to take up any other class and tell them they can work but ten hours, ff this bill is right, why should it be applied to employes in factories and not to tlio fanning interest*? Labor should lie free. It ought not to bolong to any corporation or firm. It is free. We should let every person do his own contracting and work just as many hours a day as lie pleases. The bill places one class of citi zens in a different attitude from other elasaes. If the legislature passes this Mil it will not lie two years until every class will be here demanding the passage of the “ten hour law.” Mr. Wheeler moved that when the House adjourns it be to meet at 7:30 o’clock to-night. Pending this the House adjourned. ATLANTA’S WINE ROOMS. They Will be Allowed to Run Till Thoir Licenses Expire. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 14. —The wine rooms which have city licenses for three months will fie allowed to run that long, and those which have them for six months or over, will be allowed to run until Jan. 1, 1888. The vetibsi riglita of the eltv licenses are not to lie interfered with by the police power of the Slate, lux a use the languages of the wine room bill does not plainly Indi cate such interference. The SSO State tax was paid for the year ending Dee. 31, 1887, mid the tax collectors will be instructed by the Comptroller General to collect the $lO,- 000 tax from all wine rooms on that date, whether their city license has expired or not, if thoy continue business after Jan. 1.

Alexander Lovojoy, one of the Decatur rioters, has had a preliminary trial and been sent to jail. The funeral of Dr. Donald Fraser took place this afternoon at Decatur. The exer cises were held at the Presbyterian Church, of which he was pastor. The Committee on Corporation* has de cided to report favorably on the bill to amend the charter of the City of Atlanta providing for the fixing of the license, etc., and prescribing the limits for the sale of liquor in this county in tho event that the Anti-Prohibitionists should win in the next election. The bill is amended so that its provisions shall not go into effect until rati fied by the people. The will of Louis E. Borcheim was filed for probate witli the Ordinary this after noon. He leaves an estate of several thou sand dollars. Atlanta’s Big Bose Ball Bchome.

It Was a Case of Life and Death Witt* the Sheriff—The Murderer’s Own Story of hU Brutal Work -He Waa Killed by the Ptetol Abbie Carried. Manatee, Fla., Sept. 12.- The revolt ing murder, of bis wife and two children, by Delos Given, which occurred about four miles west of Kara Kota, on Friday morning. Kept. 9, a brief account which appeared in the dispatches of the Morning News, cul minated Haturrdny afternoon, just before sundown, about one and a half miles south of Manatee village, in the killing of the murderer by Charles Whittaker, who with Sheriff A. K. Watson, was bringing Given to Manatee village, for tho purpose of lieing carried by the steamer Margaret, next Wednesday, to Tampa, to be pat liu jail, there being no jail in this county. From Maj. Alden J. Adams. Justice of the Peace, and who acted as Coroner at thi* inquest, the following statement of the fuels in th case wore obtained: After tho Coroner's inquest over the bodies of Green s wile and children. Green hud, liecn committed by Acting Coroner Greer., of Kara Kota, and turned over’ to Sheriff' Watson, to lie carried to Manatee, as before* stated. Green was a powerful man physi cally, lieing aliout six feet high and weigh ing 180 pounds, and for this reason, tint more particularly on account of that enormity of the crime, the Sheriff very prudently and properly hail pla<-ed hand cuffs on him. Klioriff Watson started for Manatee, put ting his prisoner in a wagon in charge if Charles Whittaker, a young man living at Sarasota, he being on horseback, ri ling im nnsiintoly in the rear. The Sheriff, just be fore starting, lmd pla>vd in the wagon the hatchet ana chisel with which Green had done his cruel work, and Watson, having observed Green turn up the cloth under which the instrument* had liecn placed, jus# n little before starting, and while Given’s, back was turned took I hem out of the wagon and put them In his saddlebags, a very timely precaution. Both tho Sheriff nndl Whittaker were armed with pistols, the former having a JH-enlihrv Smith & Wesson, and the latter having a 44-ralibre Englisa self-cooker, which wu* in his hip pocket, that stock sticking out. AS THEY NEARED MANATEE VILLAGE Whittaker noticed that Green became morel nervous in his manner, and just about tbiri time the horse made a kind of turn to goi into the Kara sola road, and Whittaker, in leaning over to rein him luu-k, turned his body, which threw his bin and the butt of the pistol in an exposed position toward (ireen, who as quick as thought grasped tho butt of the pistol and endeavored to turn the muzzle toward Whitaker’s peivon. Whit taker ns quickly grasped the cylinder of the pistol and held on tightly, in this way keep ing it from revolving as Green was strag gling to pull the trigger. Sheriff Wafsorv seeing the struggle, risle up and covered! (boon with hi* pistol, telling him he would kill him if he did not desist. Green then took his luind away, saying ho meant no harm, and was merely testing Whittaker’s courage. The Sheriff told him if Imdnred to attempt anything of the kind again lie would kill him instantly. Green's eyes fairly blazed, and, clinching his teeth and opening his lips, he threw’ hi* body with great force against Whittaker, forcing him out of the buggy, over the wheels to tho ground, ho falling on top. Whittaker with much difficulty freed him selt and started to run, elmely pursued by liis assailant. Whittaker, finding that Green was gaining on him, and the Sheriff shouting to him to “shoot.,” turned and fired, striking Green in the middle of the stomach, but he never winced or slackened his speed The Sheriff, at this time, waa unablo to fire, Whittaker lieing in an exact lino with Green, but was gaining on the murderer, ami when within a few feet, lieing nearer to him than Whittaker, Green turned on the Sheriff,who at, this moment fired, intending to disable the prisoner, but the ball merely grazed hi# arm; again the Sheriff pulled down on hiinJ this time right iu his luce, but the pistol hung fire, and Green grabbed the muzzle. Being a powerful man a:iy way, and witki maddened determination, he sought to wrench the pistol from tho Sheriff’s hands, tearing the skin from the latter’s hands in his maddened efforts, and, at one time, the Sheriff did lose his grasp on the pistol, bud again renewed It. Green, in the meantime bail got the Sheriff ratkar under him, anoi held him hi In a vise, the Sheriff trying to turn the pistol against Green’s body so as tof shoot him, and Given doing all in nis power" to do the same to the Sheriff, and at one time in tho melee hud dealt the Sheriff a. terrific Wow across the face with his hand cuffs. Tho Sheriff shouted to Whittaker, “its a life and death cas% kill him.* Whittaker then ran up, (Wt his pistol' against Green's head, just above the ear. mid fired. Green relaxed Ills hold, openeif his eyes wide, gave a shudder, and fell over dead. And so ended the life of a human (lend, who lews than thirty hours before had. committed a crime, which for heinousnes* and cold and premeditated cruelty, as the horrid circumstances disclose, is without m parallel in the nnnnls of crime. The horse ami buggy and the Sheriff’s horse had both runaway at the start, but were captured in the road and brought back. Watson and Whittaker then went to the village and re ported the matter. Coroner Adams then nail a jury summoned, who went out to wher* the inurdeivr lay stark and cold in the Eil nut toes; his lace upturned and & xivy rainstorm having come on In the meantime afler he was killed, those who saw him sav his whole appearance presented a most shocking sjiectacle. But there was not u single feeling of pity or regret in the crowd who viewed this unnatural, inhuman liusliniid and father. The jury of Inquest made a very full and search mg examination of the Sheriff and Mr. Whittaker, and returned the following verdict: "We, the jury, find that Delos R. Green came to his death at tho hands of Sheriff A. 8. Watson and his guard while resisting said officer* in the discharge of their official duty, and that suld killing was necessary, unavoidable and justifiable.” A COFFIN WAS PROCURED from the village, tho dead man placed in it, ;d Sheriff Watson, with two or three young men, carried tho corjise back to Sarasota, to lie laid side by side with the victims of hi* terrible work. The Sheriff states that he avoided killing Green to the last, and that it was onlv done when there appeared to bo no help for it. It ' was true that lie hail oil handcuff*, but with his great strength and his murderous mania, be was a terrible assailant. Strange to say, Green was shot in the ax act, jiart of tho head where hi* wife and both children hod been struck with the butt of hi* hatchet. It is also a littie curious that the pistol with whir'' Green was killed was owned by ('. K. Abbie, and found on hi* body at the time he was murdered t Kara Kota. This name pistol, and the large dirk-knife, Abbia had tieeu In the habit of carrying on hi* person, were both exhibited at the trial ot Willard, Anderson slid Bacon. I incluae m
