At to-day’s hearing in the inquest over the victims of the contlict between the police and meeting in Market Square, at Mitchellstowu, on Sept. 9, Constable Doran swore that ho fired four times at the crowd, twice with buckshot and twice with hall. The first bullet he fired, he said, prostrated a man. He said the crowd stoned the barracks and he believed the barracks was in danger when he fired. He said his face was wounded. When the Coroner asked him to stand up and exhibit a wound, no wound was apparent on his face. Continuing Doran said that Police In spector Irwin ordered the constables to fire in defence of the barracks. A stonethrown from the crowd struck the witness and dis located his right thumb. This, however, did not prevent him from firing again. Mr. Harrington—And murdering 1 The witness declined to answer Mr. Har rington’s interrogatory.

Ryder retorted that Mr. Harrington would not dare t*> use such lan guage outside tiie court. Mr. Harrington appealed for tho Coroner’s protection. '1 he spectators cheered him and began to move toward tho witness, 'and only the urgent entreaty of the Coroner prevented t eir laying violent hands upon the witness. The inquiry was finally adjourned until to-morrow. The crowd outside the gate gave Mr. Harrington an ovation. It is cer tain that a verdict of murder will be ren dered against certain policemen.

Berlin, Sept. 20. —The North German Gazette, referring to the statements made at the Trevis Congress, denies that Herr Wiud thorst and the Centre party were instru mental in ending the culturkampf. “To the Pope alone,” it says, “belongs the merit of having gained such a victory for tho church.

BOUND TO DIE GROWLING THE PETITIONS FOR THE ANAR CHISTS TO BE MILD. Their Friends Demand That They Be Represented as Martyrs Instead of Criminals-Justice Miller Explains tho Attitude of tho United States Supreme Court Chicago, Sept, 20.—The committee hav ing in charge the circulation of the petitions bogging tnercy for tho condemned Anarch ists, have conoludid that tho mild form of prayer originally adopted, will not meet the views of those who have an interest in the subject, and consider tho convicted seven as not criminals, but ns martyrs. To obtain the signatures of such, the following has leen adopted, and will be circulated in ad dition to tho first designed petition: To Hie Eivellenqi, Richard J. Oglesby, Gov emor of Illinois; The undersigned, having watched with great iutcrest the progress of events in connection with and since the trial, in Chicago, of the so called Anarchists, August Spies, Michael Schwab, Oscar Ne -be, Albert K Parsons. Sam uel Fiehlen, Adolph Fischer, Louis Liugg and George Engel, ana believing that the sentence against them was anil is unwarranted by the evidence, extreme in its severity and in duced l>y a view of law* never hitherto sanc tioned tiy any well-considered precedent, snd that the accused w ere not shown to have been guilty of throwing, or causing to be thrown, the bomb at the so-called Haymarket meeting; and, being advised In effect hy state ment of the prosecution In said onuso that these men were selected and proceeded against simply because of their position ns leaders In the general labor agitation, which seems to us as unwarranted, as it is injurious, and is calculated t * > am bitter workers still further against the present social order, and believing that in a case of this kiwi humanity and the State are better served isy mercy than hy vigorous execution of Use judgment, the justice of which is quest ioned by very many of our people, respectfully protest against the execu tion thereof, and bespeak in the name of Justice, mercy and humanity, the exercise by your ex oellenoy of executive clemency in the oases of these men. TO WHOM THEY WILL APPEAL. Justice Miller, of the United States Su preme Court, to whom the Anarchists pro pose to present their case, was interviewed to-day, and said: "Such a case is usually taken before one of the Justices, and a:* a rule before tho Justice of the district. In this case Justice Harlan should lie soon. He is not in Chicago now, but in Washington, where he will be for some time. It is very rare that, cases of a criminal nature come before the Supreme Court, and when they do they are usually cases where violation of the Federal laws is ohargod. It is very rare, indeed, that the Supreme Court ever touches a case decided by a State court. The Anarchists, to get their cases before tho Supreme Court, must prove that the constitutional rights of tho prisoners or Federal laws were broken in the trial. I consider the caso the most impor tant trial in this country for years. Tnaoe fellows seem to have made Chicago their headquarters. They have more friends horo than anywhere else in the country.” REFUSED USE OF THE RECORD. Capt. William I’. Black arrivixl in Otta wa last evening, ami this morning appeared before the Supreme Court anil entered a motion for loave to withdraw the original record in the Anarchist ease for a period of thirty days, saying he wished to submit it to his associate counsel, who resides in New York, and then, if so advised, to submit the record to the United States Supreme Court, upon an aplication for a writ of error. After consultation the court overruled the motion. The record contains 2,000,000 words, and to copy it in a short time, Mr. Black suggested, would take a score of type-writers. BEGINNING TO WEAKEN. An intimate friend of Ncbee, the con demned Anarchist, said to-day that the seven men who are condemned to hang have begun to weaken, and that they now regret tiiat they did not show some repentance tm mediately after the receipt of the news from Ottawa a week ago. Asa matter of fact, at least four of the condemned men have changed very materially during the last forty-eight hours, and are now regret ting that they did not throw themselves on the benevolence and humanity of the general public instead of stoically uphold ing what they call the courage of their con victions. _ _ INTERSTATE EXTRADITION.
