A Fulminating: Cap Fut in His Mouth and Touched Off with a Candle—His Head Horribly Mutilated by the Ex plosion The Greatest Excitement Throughout the Country—The Last Farwells. Chicago, Nov. lo.—Lingg, one of the seven condemned Anarchists in the Chicago jail, killed himself early this morning, lie ended his life by means of a fuhttinating cap. He had the cap in his mouth and lit it with a candle which was burning in his cell. The explosion was the Hist warning that the jail people had, a guard seeing him with the candle in his hand supposing that he was lighting a cigar. From the effects of the explosion half his head was torn away. How he secured the weapon with which the deed was committed is a mystery, as his cell.and clothing was again thoroughly searched yesterday, ami to all appearances the guards that sit in front of his cell have watched him evefy minute. Lingg has al ways been regarded as the most desperate Anarchist of the lot. It was he who manu factured the bombs for the Haymarket riot, and in whose cell bombs were found last Sunday. Immediately after the explosion Deputy O'Neill rushed into Lingg’s cell, which was completely enveloped in smoke. There he found tho young Anarchist lying on his back with great holes in his head, from which the blood was rushing iu torrents. He was at once carried into the jail office and placed on a table. He was still breath ing faintly, and while Dr. Gray was exam ining hint lie coughed slightly, and blood poured forth again from his terrible wounds and from his mouth and nose. The physi cian saw that the man could only live a few hours. IT WAS DYNAMITE. After a while Jailor Folz made an exami nation of the cell. On the floor he found the shell of the fulminating cap. The Sheriff said there had undoubtedly been dynamite in it. The supposition that the man put the shell in his mouth and deliberately applied the candle flame, is undoubtedly correct. The explosion was terrific. It startled the officials, who thought it was a bomb, the noise was so great. The shell was so small as to ha ve allowed the smuggling of it into the jail without trouble. At 10:15 o’clock T)r. Gray made a further examination and found that the tissues of the throat, nock and the front of the jaw, had been torn away. He administered stimulants, but t hey failed to rouse the man. It is generally believed that there is a traitor among the death watch who gave I.ingg the dynamite and cap. This is the t.heorv at the Sheriff's office. A GHASTLY SCENE. The scene in the cell after the explosion was ghastly. Teeth, bits of jawbone, shreds of flesh anil blood were scattered all over the narrow compartment.. A little trail of blood marked the '.vav over the stone flag ging to the room where Lingg was carried. Within fifteen minutes after the explosion Fischer, Parsons and Engel were taken from their cells and searched in the jailer’s private office. All their clothing was taken from them and new suits made by the Sheriff’s orders were given them. Sheriff Matson says Lingg was stripped and carefully searched yesterday and the day before. At. I o'clock this afternoon Lingg’s condi t ion was ip .. nnged. He was still conscious and presented a most horrible sight, with the lower part of his jaw completely torn off and his thick auburn hair still matted with blood. His cheeks were torn out and hung down in jagged pieces on his neck. His teeth were knocked out, gums torn away and but. a small stump of tongue ap peared protruding from the mangled throat. In the upper part of the throat, immedi ately under the lower part of the jawbone, a terrible gap had been torn out from the inside. THE HEATH-DEALER. Turnkey O’Neill discovered the little agent which had served Lingg to accomplish his terrible work. It was a small fulminating ■ ap, a little over an inch long. It had been filled with fulminate of mercury, and the small fuse which is usually attached to these instruments of death had been touched off by l.ingg at, the time the reporter thought jin was lighting a cigar. When Lingg com mitted the deed he was lying on his cot. After the affair, when his cell was searched, another candle was found. At the top of it, barely concealed by the ends of the wick, a second fulminating cap was found, so it is supposed that Lingg’s attempted suicide was committed with one similarly hidden. The candles were fur nished Viy the jail,so that the cap must have boon put in by Lingg himself. ACTED QUEER. All day yesterday it was thought that Lingg acted differently from usual. Tues day night he gave out, his “farewell ad dress," which was written for the Alarm, I'arsons’ old paper. In it he recited ut length his grievances, and closed as follows: Now with a last, and earnest farewell to all friends and comrades, end with final wishes for I heir prosperity, ] close, in view of the cer tainty tuut I sb.-ill never have :i chance of Boeing you again, my beloved comrades w ith an ear nest and hearty wish for your future success in life. Your comrade, Doth Dir Anarchie. Louis bison. Yesterday, when one of the guards told him that the papers had published his letter to D. D. Luw, a young lionib manufacturer, he expressed a desire to “read it in English.” Jailer Folz consented, land Lingg slowly plodded through the translation. Engle hart. speaks German, and when appealed to gave Lingg the meaning of the English words in German. READ A STARTLING LINE. The doomed man said the letter was an exact translation of the original.- Turning to another page of the paper his eve caught, the line, “Lingg will surely hang.” Calling Englehart, he asked: “What is the meaning of this word s-h-u-r-e-l-y in German*” Kn glehart, told him, and Lingg laughingly ob served: “So, so- I will g-n-u-r-e-l-y hang.” His manner was such that Englehart joined in the laugh. “Say." the blonde-haired young Anarchist called to a reporter, “did you see my maenschen (maiden)He was told that Eda Mueller liad not been seen. His next, qurry was: “Has my schatz (sweetheart) gone to Springfield;’’ This question was answered in the affirma tive. He seemed pleased, and remarked Wit ptotninfl that if he could have seen her he would have told tier to stay at home. O'Neill, one of the two guards who re mained on duty before Liugg’s cell through out the day, declared that Lingg was the coolest man in the Cook county jail. He was very pale, but his appetite was good, and he slept well. HOW THE OTHER ANARCHISTS TOOK IT. The explosion created a decided sensation in the jail. All tho prisoners, over 200, heard the report. Jailer Folz was the one who carried the news to the other Anarchists. The jailer approached Parsons’ cell, “Lingg has killed lumself,” said Mr. Folz. “Great God is that so?” exclaimed Parsous. “Yes, its a fact,” was the reply. “Well, my God,” exclaimed Parsons, “I wish I had some dynamite, 1 would kill myself only too quick.” August .Spies WBS then informed of the tragedy. “I expected nothing else,” said Spies quietly. “Ever since the finding of the Itombs iii his cell last Sunday I was satisfied that if it was possible he would make awaj r with himself. For my own and my comrades salces I am glad he is out of the way.” According to Jailor Folz all the remaining Anarchists are completely broken down. They look on the suicide of Lingg as placing him in the category of extreme Anarchists, which places they do not wish to occupy themsalves. SCHWAB DEPRESSED. Schwab became deeply depressed. He walked up and down his cell with his head on his breast. Engel and Fischer refused to talk to their keeper, but were evidently almost overwhelmed by the tragedy. While it is generally thought arountl the jail now’ that Lingg had all along deter mined on ending ills own life in some tragic manner, it is also believed that for some reason or other lie committed the act sooner than he first intended. Tuesday when Capt. Black was leaving the jail on his way to Springfield. Lingg called him to the grating opposite his eel , and in broken English, asked him to see tiiat he hod some clean linen sent him, and he was also very par ticular that it should be arranged that the messenger who brought him his clean clothes should take away his soiled things. “All right, I’ll attend to it,” Said Capt. Black, “What shall I do for you at Spring field:” Lingg shook his head and said: “Do not forget the clothes.” LIKE FRIGHTENED BEASTS. When the explosion occurred ail the An archist prisoners were on their feet in an in stant, and every one of them looked stupid and frightened.* Jailer Folz at once gave orders to have every one of tho other cells searched, and Parsons’ was the first one a descent was made upon The deputies en tered his cell, took him by the wrists and shoulders and led hiui to Jailer Folz's private office. There he was de tained until his cell was searched, and nothing was found. The ex-editor of tho Alarm shivered with excitement, fear and curiosity. His face was white, and his eyes looked ready to start from their sockets. He was in his shirt and trousers, and a wide felt hat shaded his face. It is believed by some of the reporters that something was found on Parsons, although the jail officials deny this. Parsons was given anew suit of clothes to put. on and was taken to another cell, where he now is, with two deputies standing guard over him. One of them stands back of the cell and the other at the door. The other men and their cells were also searched, but nothing was found. When Engel was being searched he completely broke down and cried like a child. LINGG HID IT IN HIS HAIR. .Tailer Folz was asked this evening to ex plain the way in which l.ingg had kept his dynamite from the eyes of the keepers. He said: “You know that Lingg had a very bushy head of hair. It is not without the bounds of possibility that he placed the cap in his locks and kept it there while we searched him last Sunday. At that time he was stripped completely. My deputies searched all his clothing and could find nothing of a suspicious character.” Jailer Folz thus explains the manner in which Lingg took his life: He said: “Lingg in some way became possessed of a dyna mite cap. This cap is between one and one and one-half inches long. It is made of copper, and the outer end is plugged up with a, piece of load. The copper for at least half an inch was filled with dynamite, then a small portion is filled with fulminating powder. Into this powder runs a fuse made of braided cloth. In my opinion Lingg, while lying in bed reached out his hand, took from his table the lighted candle, then placed the explosive in his mouth with the fuse outward, this he placed to the candle and his mortal wound followed. As soon as the surgeon arrived he ordered Lingg taken to another room. The one selected was the bath room of the jail. The dying man was carried to this apart ment and placed on a hastily improvised table. WORK OF THE DOCTORS. By this time three other physicians had arrived One dressed the torn flesh, and another gave attention to the tongue of the mortally wounded man. A portion of the tongue was left, and was attached to the palate. This fell back into the throat, stop ping l.inggs breathing. The physicians pulled this back, and a string was attached, which was held by a deputy', thus allowing respiration. While this was going on an other surgeon operated a. deodorizer. An other had a syringe in his hands, and fre quently injected portions of brandy and again doses of salt. Morphine injections were also given, but Lingg died at 2:50 o’clock this afternoon. IN KEEPING WITH HIM LIFE. Lingg’s net to-day was in keeping with his past life. In 18*8 he was forced to leave his native town in Germany. After a good deal of wandering about Germany he tinaily landed in Switzerland, There he continued to light the “blue,” as the social Democrats are called by the red followers of Herr Most. It was then that the Sozial JJemokrat, the official organ of the German Socialists, published a notice declaring Lingg to lie an informer and spy of the German government. In 1885 ho came to America. In New York he stayed onlya few days, and then proceeded farther West to Ch icago. Here lie joined the North Side group of Internationals', and soon became a manufacturer of bombs, one of which was used at the Haymarket. TRIED TO KILL AN OFFICER. When two policemen went, to arrest him the next dRy one of them entered his room while the other strived outside the house. The latter scs>n heard shouts for help, and, running into Lingg> room, found that the Anarchist had thrown his partner on the floor, and was only prevented from shooting him by the policeman, who hail a grip on the revolver, which Lingg was en deavoring to use. The second officer after a desperate struggle succeeded in placing handcuffs on liis wrists. Placing a pistol to his head, the policeman ordered him to come on, but Lingg refused to move, and said: “Shoot me, shoot me.” "It’s a pity I didn't accommodate him,” said the officer, who was at the jail this morning, as he stood looking at Liimg, “it might have saved ail this trouble.” NO WRIT FOR PARSONS. Attorney Solomon appeaiVl before Judge TiiUey at 3 o’clock this afternoon and made his application for a writ of habea. corpus in behalf of A. R. Parsons. After a long argument the writ was refused. SAVANNAH, GA., FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 11. 1887. Capt. Black returned from Springfield this morning greatly encouraged. He was confident that tho sentences of at least three, and probably all of the meu, would lie com muted. Mr" Hunt, attorney for Lingg, who had been trying to have the young Anarch ist declared insane, was at. Judge Baker's house this morning at 8 o'clock und asked the Judge to hear the petition aud grant a writ for an inquire into Lingg's sanity. The Judge told Mr. 1111111 that the petition must not be presented to him but to the court, and that his court had adjourned until 10 o’clock this morning. Thereupon Mr. Hunt departed, saying he would appear in court and make application regardless of Lingg's attempt at suicide. Mr. Hunt ap peared before Judge Baker at 10 o’clock and made a formal application for a writ in Lingg's case, and it was refused. At the officeof 'the Arbeiter Zeitung to day things were quiet, and an air of secrecy seemed to prevail. The noon issue of the paper contained a short account of Lingg’s attempted suicide, which read: “They have urged our courageous friend to death. This morning be committed suicide.”- The ac count goes on to say that his friends’ decia ration that lie was insane yesterday drove him to suicide. A PLOT TO BLOW UP A HOUSE. The police have discovered what they lie lie ve to be a plot on the part of An archists to take the lifo of James Brayton, one of the jury in the Anarchist ease, by blowing up his house on State street. The Captain or Police lias ordered a detachment of men to guard Mr. Brayton’s residence. About 8 o’clock to-night a bomb was found by Thomas Maloney in the rear of tile rosi dence of Mr. Brayton. The bomb consisted of a piece of gas pipe 12 inches long aud about 2 inches in diameter, filled with pieces of iron and a substance supposed to be dyn amite. THE SECOND REGIMENT IN READINESS. The entire Second regiment is held in readiness to move at a moment’s notice to night, and in all orobability will remain in the armory until after the execution has taken place. A short time after noon to day Col. Wheeler sent word to bis company commanders to have their men in the armory by midnight, where they were to await any ordoi'S that emanate from brigade headquarters. Col. Wheeler said the men would be held in readiness, but would not be sent upon the street unless exigencies should demand it. “THE GUILTY MAN IS IN NEW YORK.” The following dispatch was received by Capt. Black to-night: New York, Nov. to, 1887. To Capt. Black , Chicago: Ihokl proofs show ing the sentence,! Anarchists to be Innocent. The guilty man is in New York. T have tele graphed to Gov. Oglesby. The proof is under oath. How shall 1 communicate it. • Auovst P. Wagner, 59 Third avenue, eounsellor-at-law. Capt. Black left at 0 o’clock to-night for Springfield, after wiring the New York lawyer to leave there at once. Sheriff Matson contemplated sending Schwab and Fielden to Joliet prison to night, but after looking over the situation has concluded that he would not beau tborized to send Fielden and Schwab to the penitentiary on a telegram. The Governor’s messenger will arrive from Springfield early to-morrow morning, bringing the official copy of the order of commutation. After that a mittimus will issue and the men may go down to-morrow or Saturday. The Secretary of the United Labor party said to-day that be did not believe there would bo any trouble to-morrow. His in formation was to the effect that the execu tive of the union had simply advised the members of the union to abstain from work on the day of the execution, probably as a mark of respect, and that the Arbeitn- Zcitung had emphasized this counsel by asking the men to stay at home, and not to go on the street at all. GUARDING THE JAIL. Chief Ebersold said to-night that a line of police armed with rifles, thrown around the block immediately surrounding tho jail, wauld prevent the approach of crowds. Ten companies of twenty-six men each, all bear ing rifles, will lie posted about the jail and the streets in the vicinity, all under command of Cant. George Hubbard, of the Central de tail. Squads from the companies will do guard duty at the entrances to the jail and Criminal Court building. At the Ontral Station, Harrison street. West Twelfth street, Desnlaines street, West Chicago ave nue and East Chicago avenue companies will be held in reserve, while one company will lie left at each of the fifteen sub stations. TOLD OF THE INKVITABLE- Sheriff Matson went to the jail to-night. He wanted to give personal notice to Spies. Engel. Fischer and Parsons that they would have to suffer the extreme penalty of the law. He also wanted to see his deputies were so placod that all unauthorized people should be kept from the vicinity. The Sheriff woula only say that none of the condemned men showed any signs of breaking down. Rev. Dr. Bolton, of th<- First Methodist church, called on Parsons. His visit lasted about three minutes, and his efforts to gef, Parsons to consider spiritual matters were of no avail. Shortly after 10 o’clock to-night Deputy Sheriff Curren, who tiad been guarding Fischer, came into tho jail office from the cell room. He reported that all the men were awake, and talking on general sub jects to their guards. ERECTING THE GALLOWS. The erection of the scaffold began at 10:15 o’clock to-night. The gallows was put in the northeast corridor of the jail, where for many years all the Cook county hangings have taken place. Tho scaffold is the same used in the banging of the three Italian murderers, but it has been lengthened for the purpose of swinging off the four Anarchists at once. It is painted a dead brown color. FISCHER WRITES TO HERR MOST. NkwJYokk. Nov. 10. The Frciheit to-day published a farewell letter from Adolph Fischer, dated Cook County Jail, Ills., Nov. ... to Anarchist John Most. He glories iu their cause, and says “we must show our enemies that Anarchists are ready and will ing to die for their cause. I have indorsed and praised onr true principles and am ready to go to the scaffold for them.” TROOPS AVAILABLE. Washington, Nov. 10.— Gen. Terry has informed the War Department that the troops belonging to the Sixth infantry, now Stationed at Highwood. near Chicago, will be available to protect public; property dur ing the excitement incident to the execution of the condemned Anarchists to-morrow. GOV. OGLE3BY’B DECISION. The Grounds on Which He Bases His Action in the Case. Springfield, 111., Nov. 10.—Gov. Ogles by has received the following letter, writ ten by August Spies: Chicago, 111., Nov. 6, 1887. ' Sib—The /ad that some of us have appealed to vou for just ice (under pardoning prerogative) while others have not, should not enter into con sideration in the decision of onr case. Homo of my friends have asked you for absolute pardon. They feel the Injustice done them 80 intensely that they cannot reconcile tho Idea of commu tation of sentence with consciousness of inno cence. others, among (hero myself, while possessed of the same feeling of indignation, can perhaps more calmly and dispassionately took noon the matter as u stands. They do not regard the fact that though a systematic course of lying, distorting, inventing and slandering, the press has succeeded in creating a sentiment of bitterness ami hated among a great: portion of the populace, so that one man no matter how powerful, how courageous, how just, he lie, cannot possibly overcome it . They hold l bat to overcome that sentiment, or Influence thereof would almost be an impossibility. Not wishing therefor to place your excellency iu a still more embarrassing position, between the blind fanati cism of a misinformed public on throne hand and justice on the other, they concluded to sub mit the case to you unconditionally. 1 implore you not to let this difference of action have any weight with you In determining our fate. During our trial the desire of the Prosecutor to slaughter me and let my co-defendants off with milder punishment was quite apparent and manifest It seemed to me and a great many others that the prosecution would he satisfied with one life. States Attorney Urinnell in his argument intimated this very plainly I care not to protest my innocence of any crime and the one of which 1 am accused in particular. I have done that and leave the rest to the judgment of history. But to you 1 wish to address nivsclf now as the alleged arch conspirator (Iraviugthe fact that I never have belonged to any kiud of conspiracy out of the question altogether). If sacrifices of life there must be, will not my life suffice - The State's Attorney of t'ook county aaked for no more. Take t his. then -take my life. I offer it to you; that you may satisfy the fury of a semi-barbaric mob, aud save those of my comrades. I know that, every one of my com rades is as willing to die and perhaps more so than I am. It is not for their sake that I make this proffer, hut, in the name of humanity and progress. In the interest of the peaceable, if possible, development of the sociul forces that are destined to lift our race upon a higher and better plane of civilization: lti the name of the traditions of our country. I beg you topre vent a seven-fold murder of men whose ouly crime is that they are idealists; t hat they long fer a lietter future for ail. If legal murder there must be, let mine suffice. A. Spins. GOV. OGLESBY’S DECISION IN FULL. Following is the Governor’s decision in full in the Anarchist case: Executive Officf., I Springfield, Nov. 10, 1887.) On the 20th day of August, 1880, in the Cook County Criminal Court, August Spies, Albert Parsons, Samuel Fielden, Michael Schwab, Adolph Fischer, George Engel and Louis Lingg were found guilty by the verdict of a jury and afterward sentenced to tie hanged for the mur der of M j. Degan. An appeal was taken from such finding and sentence to the Supreme Court of the State That court upon final hearing and after mature deliberation unanimously affirmed the judgment of the court below The case now comes before me by th" petition of the defeudents for consideration as Governor of the State. If the letter of Parsons, Adolph Fischer. George Engel and Louis I.ingg de manding "unconditional release," or, as they express it, "liberty or death.” and protesting in the strongest language against mercy or com mutation of the sentence pronounced against them can be [considered petitions, pardon, could it lie granted, which might Imply any guilt whatever upon the part of either of them, would not t>e such a vindicaiton as they demand. Execu tive intervention upon the grounds insisted upon by the four a bore named persons could in no proper sense be deemed an exercise of the eon utional power to grant reprieves, committa ls and pardons, unless based upon a belief my part of their entire innocence of the crime or which they stand convicted. Parefu! consideration of the evidence in the records of the trials of Parsons and others, as well as of all alleged and claimed for them outside of the record, lias failed to make any impression tending to impeach the verdict ot the jury or the judgment of the trial court or Supreme Court affirming the guilt,of all these parties. Satisfied, 1 herefore, as 1 am of their guilt, 1 am precluded from considering the question of commutation of the sentences of Albert R. Parsons. Adolph Fischer, George Engel and Louis Linng to imprison ment in the penitentiary, as they em phatically declare that they will not ac cept such commutation. Samuel Fielden, Michael Schwab and August Spies unite in a petition of “Executive clemency.” Fielden and Schwab, ill addition, present separate and sup plementary petitions for commutation of their sentences. While, as said above, I aui satisfied of the guilt of all the parties as found by the verdict of the jury, which was * sus tained by the judgment, of the courts, most careful consideration of the whole subject leads me to the conclusion that the sentence of the law as to Samuel Fielden and Michael Schwab may he modified as to each of them, in the interest of humanity and with out doing violence to public justice, and as to said Samuel Filden and Michael Schwab sen tence is cummuled to imprisonment in the penitentiary for life. As to all the other above named defendants, I do not feel justified in interfering with the sentence of the court. While I would gladly have come to a different con'-lusion in re gard to tho sentence of the defendants August Spies, Adolph Fielden, George Engel, Albert R. Parsons and Louis Lingg. 1 regret to sav that under a solemn sense of my obligations of office I have been unable to do so. Richard J. Oiilesbv, Governor. THE DECISION APPROVED. The announcement of the Governor’s de cision spread like wildfire (his pvening, and the greatest excitement naturally prevailed. His action meets with general approval. He is evidently giving no heed, whatever, to the great volume of threatening letters he has received, as lights are shining brightly from the windows of the executive mansion, and everything has its wonted np pearance. Four policemen are, however, keeping a close lookout around the mansion, and will doubtless continue to do so nightly until some time after the execution of the condemned men. It is learned at, a late hour to-night that Capt. Black has wired Mr. Schilling to re main in Springfield, as he (Black) will ar rive here in the morning at 6:20 o’clock to appear before the Governor and urge a stay’ in the execution of Parsons on the ground that the latter is insane, and has been for many months, and is not responsible for his acts. He will also make n plea for Spies, and in fact for all the condemns! men. LAST FAREWELLS. The Female Relatives ot the Prisoners Bid Them Good-By. Chicago, Nov. 10.—When the news of the commutation of the sentence of Fiolden and Schwab was received at the jail there w. s an extraordinary scene of activi ,y. The news was sent to the relatives of all the condemned men and in a short tune they began to arrive at the jail. The first of the women to come was Mrs. Schwab. Soon after Schwab was brought from bis cell to the main office. His w ife quickly advanced to him, and throwing her arms about his neck, burst into tears. Schwab returned the embrace in a calm manner. Soon the two were chatting qui etly together. After this Spies and Fischer were brought from their cells and taken to the jail library. Engel was brought hr the private office of Mr. Folz. This was done for the purpose of allowing the relatives to take their last interviews. FATHER AND DAUGHTER. The first one of the women to arrive after Mrs. Schwab was Miss Engel, daughter of the condemned Anarchist,. When the two met in the private office there was an out burst of grief which it is impossible to describe. Father and daughter clung to each other and sobbed convulsively. Their <-onversation was In German and was listened to only by Deputy Oleson. Then came Mrs. Spies, mother of August. She had been waiting outside for over an hour and a half. Her sotis could be heard through the corridors of the building. She did not stay long in the library wirh her son, and on her exit from the jail Mrs. Fischer was admitted. She went into the library and her lamenta tions were heard above the tramp of the deputies who swarmed about the place. NINA VAN ZANDT’B INTERVIEW. The crowning seen sof all was the visit of Nina Van Zandt, the proxy wife of Spies. She was oonductod to the library by Deputy Oleson. As she walked through the main office she betrayed no emo tion. The moment she saw Au gust, however, her demeanor completely changed. There was a look, then a gasp, ami in a trice the lovers were iu each other s anus. A number of curious reporters and officers crowded up the door of tho library, but it was quickly shut by the deputy. The interview between the prisoner and his faithful devotee lasted nearly half an hour. MBS. PARSONS FAINTS. Mrs. Lucy Parsons created a scene in the Criminal Court building about 10 o’clock to-night. Approaching the door which leads to the jail yards she demanded t*or mission to proceed. Tins was denied. "But I must go in to set* my husband,” exclaimed Mrs. Parsons. “’You cannot,” was the re ply. Then the dusky wife of the Anarchist threw up her hands and fell to the floor in a dead faint. It took over twenty minutes to bring her to consciousness, but when this was done she was escorted from tho build ing. Parsons was not informed of the epi sode. HOW THE NIGHT WAS PASSED. All Quiet in the City- Engel Scoffing at Death. Chicago, Nov. 10.—Up to 11:45 o’clock to-night everything is quiet throughout, the city. No indications of disturbances have been reported from any quarter. The fact that the authorities have taken every pre caution to prevent trouble, and are fully prepared for any emergency', is almost a guarantee that everything will pass off quietly to-morrow. At 11:30 o'clock to-nigbt the condemned men were still awake and talking to their guards. The grim terrors of the rapidly passing hours seem to have no effect on Engel. In the course of a conversation just had he sneered at the cowardice ex hibited bv several of his doomed fellows. He said: “There are a good many loud talkers among us, aud the ones that talked the loudest were the first to weaken when it came to the scratch.” On being asked as to his own views of his breaking down, he threw up his hands and with a shrug of his shoulders, said, “You see me.” There is hi tally a doubt that, he will march upon the fatal platform and step out into eternity with the reckless courage of a brute. At 11:30 o’clock Parsons was stilljawake and pacing his cell with a restless step. Oc casionally his sharp face shows up in tho glare of the lantern iu front of his door, and the light iu his eyres shows brighter than in the early evening. Fischer and Spies sit on their beds, well back from their cell doors, and say but little. Deputy Sheriff Adolph Muller had a talk with Fischer and Engel during the evening. Muller said they' discussed Lingg’s suicide freely. Both of them declared that they wished they had a chance to follow Lingg's example. They would infinitely prefer to take their own lives than to suffer the shameful death allotted to them. Engel also discussed his own attempt at suicide, which he made Saturday night by taking laudanum und morphine pills. He went so far as to assert, that his own wife gave him the bottle about a year ago, and he added that he wished he had used the poison before It lost its strength. Shortly afttr midnight a messenger ar rived at the jail with a telegram for Spies, It, was front his brother, and bade him to meet his fate with firmness. A PARADE TO PROTEST. 3.000 Men March With Draped Flags in New York. New York, Nov. 10.—There was a large, peaceable procession of sympathizers with Socialism in this city to-night to protest against the hanging of the Anarchists in Chicago to-morrow. The paraders wore all orderly and no sign of disturbances oc curred. It might have been different lmd Johann Most and other Anarchist speakers harangued the crowd at, Union Square as was at first contemplated, but subsequent, arrangements did away' with all chance of a conflict between the Socialists and the authorities. It was after It o’clock when tiie solemn march of protest liegan down Broadway. Ivttrge numbers of per sons witnessed the parade, despite the in clement weather, and the scene wus im pressive as the long line of men, 3,000 strong, passed down the street with red and black flags, all heavily draped in crape, bands playing the dead march from Saul and the Marseilles. There were many transparencies, too, bearing the words: “Beware of Insurrec tion," "Gallows Contra Liberty,” “Ye Sons of Toil Awake to Glory,” and “Allon En fauts de la Patri.” There were no police in the parade, but large forces were massed in the side streets, and the police patrol box near Fifteenth street, in Broadway, was open ready to send out an alarm for reinforcements, but there was no occasion for using it.

Jackson in relation to some remarks of mine in my brief and off-hand address to tbe Thurman .Club last Saturday night. lam glad to learn by the General's card that the report to which I alluded in repect to his recall from the mission to Mexico was unfounded in fact. I am In capable of wilfully doing any man injustice, and had I known what I now learn from Gen. Jackson's card I should not have alluded however re motely to 1 lie iv.jmrt to which 1 referred. What I said about Ihe doctrine of secession was ail expression of opinion. It is still my opinion that w hoever preaches the doctrine of secession as a living issue is not only an enemy to tbe Democratic parly but of the whole coun try, and smarting under the injury done to the Democratic party of Ohio by Gen Jack son’s Macon speech, w hich the result, of the elec tinn has made apparent; to every one, it is not perhaps surprising that I used language that may seem harsh and even hitter, yet feeling as I do. hardly any language too strong could lie used in condemnation of the sectional speeches recently made in the North and of this one In the South.

Mazean, Minister of Justice, replied that be government declined to accent any responsibility for the doings of M. Wilson. M. Piou moved t hat the government order an immediate inquiry into the allegations against M. Wilson. Au adjournment of the inquiry until the close of the Caffarel trial, he said, would not suffice.

The government, he said, accepted M. Bum's motion and he trusted nobody would misapprehend the feelings which actuated it in so doing. M. Jolibois thought that, acceptance of M. Fioti’s motion should signify that, the government would direct a suspension of the present trial in order to obtain com plete information during its own inquiry. M. Piou declared that if the government did not consent to suspend judgment in the Caffarel case, be wonld withdraw his mo tion. M. Rouvier replied that in view of tha opinion manifested by the Chamber of Deputies, M. Mazen hod just directed the procurator to introduce a judical inquiry. Ilis declaration had lieen spontaneous. [This declaration was greeted with ap plau.se] M. Rouvier then announced that tbe Cab inet had decided to call a meeting and on it* own responsibility, and asked the Chamber to vote the order of the day. The Chamber approved the suggestion.
