rftll v; “No true hearted American citizen
> f.uld view the Anarchist procession which
marched through the streets of Chicago
■yesterday w ithout emotions of a conflicting
nature, it was a display at once
pitiful and reassuring. That some
ihing mere than 5,000 persons, men,
si omen and children,should avail themselves
< ! tihe funeral of five murderers to advertise
l/:eir sympathy with lawlessness must be
regretted. At the head of the procession
marched a Grand Army veteran hearing a
cl ean Fourth of July copy of the stars
i. 1 stripes emblazoned with tho battles in
wan h he bad fought. This was tho only
flag displayed along the march. Its presence
cv,w resented by the Anarchists and they
appealed to the police to prevent the veteran
from flaunting the stars and stripes before
ihp corpses of their brethren. For once the
pnli -e would fain have obliged the Anarch
ic-. but they dared not. The old man
-hook his Hug in the face of anarchy, and
s3id he had braved death under its folds
upon the field of battle, and he was
prepared to die under it thore. The
SioU'.e started to prevent the affront
[m anarchy hi the presence of the dead, but
tiro crowd upon the sidewalk surged forward
s id. cheering for the old veteran and the
rational emblem, forced the police back.
Trout the Lake street viaduct to the depot
Pie stare and stripes held its place at the
1. -ad of the procession and was cheered all
along the route. This was significant of the
lenip°r of the citizens of Chicago. In alt

tator could determine, there was not an
American face. Thin was significant of the
composition of the procession.' 1
l.inog rofri) A BOMB.
It has been settled that Louis Lings killed
himself with a dynamite bomb and not a
l utminating cap as was at first supposed.
IHiring the overhauling of his cell to-dav
shattered pieces of gas pipe were found,
Miowing conclusively that Liugg had ex
ploded a dynamite bomb in his mouth. One
piece is over an inch long. The condition
Ini the wall of Lingg’s cell also bears out the
■tneory that a bomb was used by him. Large
■ leces of solid masonry are broken off by
■he force of the mi Miles of which the bomb
lias made. How Ute bomb got into his pos-
K'si-ion seems ns mtdh a mystery as ever.
■he suspicion that was at first directed to
■ae of the deputies on guard is now no
longer entertained. It is generally
Relieved that Lingg had it iii
Ri- possession at the time the other four
R'nv found, and had it secreted in his hair,
1 thing he could vefv easily do, as his hair
Rus over six inches long and very thick. It
R the opinion of the jail officials that all the
lombs were pa.-seci.tto him by outside friends.

CARLISLE'S RETURN.
He Expects to Be Re-Elected Speaker
Without Democratic Opposition.
Washington, Nov. 14. —Speaker Carlisle
arrived this afternoon to remain through
the winter. He expects to be re-elected
Speaker without opposition from his own
side of the House. He attaches very little
importance to the contest of his seat, based
as it, is on such scant and flimsy testimony.
He has no doubt that it will be dismissed by
the House on the recommendation of the
Committee on Elections, whether the latter
is appointed by Representative William D.
Kelley os the oldest member on the Re
publican side, oi' elected by a vote of the
House. Mr. Carlisle will therefore pre
pare his list of committees between
now mid the time that Congress meets, in
order that there may Lie no delay in getting
to work. He will, of course, bestow most
care on the Committee on Ways and
Means, which will have the most important
w ork to do this winter. He has not yet
Anally determined who shall be chairman
of this committee. Mr. Carlisle will talk
with the President and Secretary Fairchild
about their recommendations respecting the
tariff and internal revenue. He is very
hopeful of some satisfactory revenue legis
lation this winter. He thinks the revenue
reform movement greatly strengthened by
the elections of last Tuesday.
DISCRIMINATING RATES.
Danville Business Men Complain
Against a Railroad.
Washington - , Nov. 14. —The Inter
state Commerce Commission to-day
gave a hearing upon complaint of
B. K. Cows and other business
men of Danville, Va., against the Richmond
and Danville Railroad Company. Col.
George C. Cabell appeared for the complain
ants, and James T. Worthington for the
railroad. The essence of the complaint is
that the rates to Danville from various
points are proportionately much greater
than to towns with which it competes for
trade, and that they are exorbitant and un
reasonable. Tiie railroad, in its rejoinder,
denies any violation of the interstate
commerce law, and denies that it
lias established rates purposely dis
criminating against Danville. It an
mils certain specific allegations, some
of which it justifies, while in respect to
o#i: rs it pleads that the overcharges were
made by mistake, and that the amounts
ovreharged have been refunded. The com
plainants submitted a member of deposi
tions in support of their complaint, and the
respondents called general freight agent
Drake to the witness stand in rebuttal. The
hearing will be continued to-morrow.
DRIVEN WELL PATENTS.
The Supreme Court Decides in Favor
of the Infringer.
Washington, Nov. 1 4..—What Is known
as the “Driven Well Patent,” which has
been several times before the United States
Supreme Court, aud which has alway s here
tofore been sustained, was to-d v declared
invalid in an opinion by Justice Blatehford,
bused upon the record iu Case No. 10, An
drews, Green and others against George
Hovey, brought here by appeal from
the United States Circuit Court
for the Southern District of
lowa. This Court holds that the fact
now made to appear for the first, time in the
driven well litigation that the invention was
used in public at Cortlaudt, N. Y., by others
than Green more than two years before the
application for a patent was made is a fact
which is fatal to the patent’s validity. The
decree of the Circuit Court iu favor of the
alleged infringer, Hovey, is affirmed.
A BLAZE AT BROOKLYN.

New York, Nov. 14.—Fire in Brooklyn
to-night destroyed a station of the Culver
Prospect Park and Coney' Island railroad,
the stables of the Vanderbilt avenue horse
car line, a large quantity of feed and rolling
stock, and 157 horses. Owing to
the inflammable nature of the
buildings, and their contents the
fire spread rapidly and soon destroyed
tho building and also two brick dwellings
ou flic opposite side of Ninth avenue. The
horses became so frantic that all efforts to
save them had to be abandoned. The Van
derbilt avenue line is owned by “Deacon”
Richardson, and this i-- the third time within
a year and a lmlf that, it has been afire,
The origin is a mystery. Tho loss is $300,000.

Tho Receipts of the State Treasury
for Taxes.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov, 14.—The receipts at
the State Treasury for taxes to-day were
$17,551. The Treasurer to-day paid out the
last, of t he interest on the Atlantic and (!ulf
railroad bonds indorsed by the State, aggre
gating about #5,000. This was the payment
authorized by the Legislature for the last
semi-annual interest for which there were
no coupons.
The Comptroller has received from the
Tax Collector of Whitfield county a supple
mental tax digest, bringing in additional
property asstoed at #313,000. The first
digest showed t I eerease from last year of
$151,000. which was thought not a fair
assessment.

GEORGIA'S CAPITAL CITY.
A Passenger Train t witched Into a
Freig.it—Tho Freedman's Bank.
Macon, Oa., Nov 14.—A special passen
ger train on the East Tennessee road run
ning from Hawkinsville to Atlanta, and due
at Macon at 7 :'£> o’clock this morning, met
with an accident this morning, owing
to a, misplaced switch. The scene of the
accident was near Stratton’s brick yard, a
short distance from this city. The mishap
was due to the neglect of the section boss
who, it is understood, has since resigned his
position. A train of flat cars loading with
wood was ou the main track. The polo
car of the section boss was also
on the track. As the hour for the arrival
of the special passenger train was near at
hand, the wood train and pole car were
switched from the main track to a siding,
and the switchman forgot or failed to turn
the switch hack to the main line, so when
the special passenger train came thundering
along it ran on to the siding and into the
wood train. Fortunately no one was hurt,
hut the engine was badly broken, a wood
car smashed, and the pole car of the section
boss was scattered in many directions.

• A KNOTTY QUESTION.
A knotty question is now before the
court here for adjustment. The grand jury
has brought in three indictments, but there
seems no way to transfer the cases from the
Circuit Court to the C ourt of Criminal
Record. This was discussed at length by
State’s Attorney McDonel and ex-Chief
Justice Randall lief ore Judge Baker. The
act of the Legislature, Judge Randall
thought, was in conflict with the constitu
tion. No decision was reached. It seems
that tho Legislature that established the
Court of Record neglected this important
part of the necessary law. What conclu
sion w'ill be finally reached by the court is
unknown, but it would seem a hardship
upon those charged with crime
to have to stand so charged or remain in
prison for nearly two years, to await the
convening of the next Legislature to enact
a law to transfer then-cases front the Cir
cuit court, which nowr has no jurisdiction
over them iu this county, to tho Criminal
court, which is alone authorized to give
them trial.

FREE SPEECH IN LONDON
THE TRAFALGAR SQUARE ISSUE
TO BE TESTED.
Home Secretary Mathews Holds that
Public Acts In the Square are Only
Allowed ou Sufferance of the Queen
—Gladstone Urges the People to
Wait Quietly.
London, Nov. 14. —Seventy-five men,who
wore arrested for taking part in the dis
turbance here yesterday, Avere arraigned in
the Bow Street Police Court this morning,
charged with rioting. Many wero fined,
w'hile ot hers were sentenced to from four to
six months’ imprisonment at hard labor.
In an iiftcrvieAv Saturday evening Mr.
Mathews,Home Secretary, told Mr. Graham
that the government would uot permit the
prqixwed meeting in Trafalgar square. He
said he believed the executive was acting
within its strict legal rights, and that public
acts were only alloAved in the square on suf
ferance by the Queen. He further stated
that lie AA-ished the question to be tried
legally by the courts. Mr. Graham replied
that he regretted the government’s decision,
because the meeting would certainly
be held, aud graA r e responsibility would
rest with, the government. It is
stated that Sirs. Annie Besant, AA’ho was
Avith one of the sections desiring to enter
Trafalgar square yestordav, made an earnest
request to be arrested with Messrs. Burns
and Graham. The Times this morning ex
pressed a hope that the rioters in custody,
especially the ringleaders, would receive
exemplary punishment. “Kchhid these.” it
continues, “stand the greater criminals Avho
in the press and otherwise labor to convert
the English Sunday into a carnival of blood
for which the despicable brood ought to be
shot.”
GLADSTONE ON THE TROUBLE.
Mr. Gladstone, replying to the Secretary
of the London Radical Club, Avrote as fol
loavs, to-day: “I think you will expect me
to meet your request by an explicit answer
expressing the best judgment, which, while
absent from the spot, lain able to form on
the deplorable disturbances of yesterday,
A I understand the matter
the Home Secretary statod on
Saturday, for the information of
the public that he intended to prevent yes
terday’s meeting in Trafalgar square and
believed that its prevention was within
his legal poAver. The question is ono of
groat moment to the inhabitantsof London,
particularly to those who are at present
unemployed aud in circumstances of distress.
It will be generally felt that the state of
the law in regard to it ought to be promptly
tested and ascertained. Until a decision
can be had it is the duty of every citizen to
refrain from all resistance to the decision of
the executive government, tvhich is dearly
entitled to administer the laws according to
what it mav be advised is their true con- ’
struotion. Such abstinence is, I think, due
alike to the high character of Ixmdon for
the maintenance of public order and to the
respect we owe the lasv and mode in
which it is usually applied thorough
the medium of the admirable jxilice of the
metropolis. But I must add that the appeal
to Parliament and the nation on the grave
aud solemn issue iioav raiser! by the proceed
ings of the government in Ireland, would
suffer disastrous prejudice were it to lie
associated in any manner by those who
make the appeal with metropolitan disturb
ances.” There is little doubt that Mr. Glad
stone’s advice will be followed.
In a letter A\-ritten before yesterday’s dis
turbance Mr. Gladstone said: “I am un
able to pronounce upon the law of the ques
tion. If it is on Sir Charles Warren's side
(aud I am bound to assume that he has ex
amined ii) I should be slow to question the
exercise of his discretion.”
CONDITION OF THE CROWN PRINCE
Larvnxotomy the Only Hope to Save
His Life.
Berlin, Nov. 14. —Drs. Bergmann, Ger
hardt and Tobold have adopted the report
of Dr. Schmidt, in which extirpation of
the Crown Prince’s larynx is urged. The
Crown Prince has not. yet consented to
accept the plan of treatment.
Klein'n Journal says Drs. Schroter and
Schmidt hold that larvnxotomy is inevita
ble in the case of the Crown Prince. They
maintain the opinion that it would have
been better to perform the operation months
ago and assert that the delay has lessened
the chance of success, although they do not
regard the Prince's recovery as impossible.
After the Emperor reci\ed Dr. .Schmidt
yesterday a medical conference was ordered
at the Palace. There were present the phy
sicians of the household with Drs. Wegener,
Bergmann, Uerhardf. TolioM and
Schmidt. Count Von Holherg, Min
ister of the household, presided. A paper
was unanimously signed declaring that the
throat affection of the Crown Prince was
cancerous, and that partial removal of the
larynx is no longer advisable. Complete
excision of the larynx is referred to as rec
ommended by the physicians at .San I ten in,
but in the meantime objected to by the
Crown Prince.
LOVE FOR IIIH FATHER.
London, Nov. 14. — It. is reported that
the Crown Prince speaking of l lie proposed
operation on his throat said: “As long as
the kasier lives, I shall not submit to the
o|ieration. 1 prefer to let my old father
have some hopes, and I will not risk the
hastening catastrophe by undergoing
dangerous operation.”

WIND-UP OF THE WILD WEST.
A Talk With Col. Cody About His
Wonderful Success.
London, Nov. 2. —I had a talk with Col.
Cody yesterday about his London season.
He left London to-day for Birmingham,
where he will be a short time, and then ho
will go to Manchester for the winter. Man
chester Is the centre of a vast poprrtntton.
Within a radius of thirty-one miles from
the centre of Manchester there are in tho
neighborhood of 7,Ot)U,CKK) of people, as many
ns are within a similar radius from the
centre of London itself. There is
much more money among the work
ing people of Manchester than
among those of London. Codv and Sals
bury have a much more profitable arrange
ment for tho winter season than they had
with the American exhibition in London.
Tho projectors of the Manchester building
put it up at their own expense, and only ask
25 pel' cent, of the proceeds for their work.
Col Cody leaves iu a day or two for Italy
for a three weeks’ rest, as he does not intend
to play himself until his people reach Man
chester. He is to-day the most successful
and widely advertised showman
in the world. He lias surpassed
Biu'uum so far as notoriety and
success are concerned. He told me yester
day that, just before 1 eaving New York for
England Bornum came to him and offered
him $250,000 for a quarter interest in the
Europeau venture. Cody accepted this
offer, until tie learned of the condition that
was attached to it. That " as that Barnum’s
name should go ahead of Cody’s iu the an
nouncement of tbe combi nation. This Cody
refused. He says that the name that ho
has made as a successful showman is as
much to him as the money. Cody says that
several days ago lie received the largest
offer known in tiie history of the show busi
ness. He was offered #1.000,000 in cash for a
contract for two years to play in different
parte of Europe. This offer he refused for
the reason that he is not certain that he
wants to remain in Europe for two years,
ami if he did lie would be able to make
more money than that under his ow n man
agement ami not lie t ied up with anyone.
Both Cody and Salsbury were very much
dissatisfied with their connection with the
American Exhibition. Cody said yesterday
that he had not spoken to Whitley, the Di
rector General or the American Exhibition,
since enrlv lust summer. Tho managers of
i lie Wild ’West Hhow. he say a, were deceived
bv Whitley, in bung given to understand
that a number of prominenf and official
representatives of the United (States were to
be interested in the concern. Cody says
that he found that every name that, had
been given to him as interested in
the enterprise when he first made
the contract was used without any au
thority. Instead of there living plenty of
money back of tile concern the money nre.s
sary waa only obtained after the Wild West
(’ornpany had started from New York. To
use Cody’s own language, “the last £25,000
necessary for the completion of the build
ings (n London were obtained after a dis
patch was received from New York an
nouncing the embarkation and departure of
my company. When the Wild West jxiople
arrived they found tier they wore the prin
cipal attraction and that they could have
done much belter if (hey had started alone
than by dividing profits with an enterprise
which could never have opened without
their assistance, and which, if it had been
opened without them, could not havedrawn
a crowd for over a fortnight.
I asked Col, Cody something about their
financial success. He said that they hud
made a good deal of money in I/jnilon, but
not as mu hns they should have mnde. He
considered that lie was worth to-day t<*oo.
000, and that the Imlk of this is invested in
good Western real ( State. Salsbury, he said,
was worth about $500,000 that lie had put
away since he bud gone in with the Wild
West. Cody says that he is not certain
afsait, (heir future. He has made money
enough to retire. They will pluv the winter
through, and then go to Belgium for three
or four weeks for tho spring exhibition
there.
Then tliev will go to Paris for n few wks
awl to Homo later. The manager of tho
Paris Hippodrome has advised Col. Cody to
go to Russia. Ho says that ho would make
a greater auoree* In Russia than in any
country of Europe. hut all this means
hard work and the taking of risks which
Cody and Saisbury are not at present cer
tnin about running. They know that they
can now go back to the Unif/xl States and
play to a better business than before they
came away, nod as the prices obtwined in
the ITijltod States are higher than they get
get, hero they may come home next year.
Their original plan was to remain in Eu
rope two yeans.
THE DESPERATE BOY FIEND.
Another Attempt by Jesse Pomeroy to
Escape trom Prison.
Boston, Nov. 13.—Jesse Pomeroy, the
“boy fiend,” who is serving a life sentence
in the .Stale prison in Charlestown, made a
desperate attempt to escape or kill himself
yesterday by blowing up the prison. He
succeeded in causing an explosion that shat
tered the plastering ami windows in the
wing of the prison that coutaiued his cel!,
and he was himself severely burned about
the head and hands. His injuries are not
dangerous. This lust is the most startling
of his many attempts to gain freedom. He
lias given the prison officials more trouble
than all tho other prisoners combined,
and iu his attempts to escape he lias
shown ail inventive genius that would lie a
credit to him if rightly used. He Ims many
friends arming the prisoners, and they have
materially aided bun in his work. In some
way unknown to the olllcein he obtained |xie
session of a cold steel chisel about eight
inches long and a long-bladed knife. The
knife blade was transformed into a saw,
and with these tools he found no difficulty
in cutting through brick and iron. In all
his other operations he has given his atten
tion to the bars of his cell door or window,
but this time lie tried another method that
was as ingenious as it, was desperate. It
involved Die iHissilile destruction of one
wing of the prison and its inmates, includ
ing himself, or the making of a broach in
the walls large enough to liberate many of
the prisoners.
After providing himself with the tools he
severed the gas mpe that ran between the
walls, aud allowed the gas to escape in the
space that was left by the builders. Then
he lighted the gas. and a tremendous ex
plosion followra, shaking the building from
top to bottom. The explosion occurred
while the prisoners were in their ceils eat
ing dinner, ami u terrible outcry was made
by the men. The prison officials hastened
to the wing with revolvers in hand, fearing
that the prisoners had started a revolt.
The odor of gas attracted them to Pome
roy's cell, and the officials found him lying
on the floor unconscious, mid with his hair
and eyebrows burned off. Dr. Sawyer, the
prison physician, dressed his wounds, and
in a short time he was restored to conscious
ness. He was locked up in a strong ceil,
and the Warden made an examination of
his quarters to see what damage had been
done by the explosion. Then the ingenious
work of the prisoner was revealed.
By means of nu awl he had loosened two
bricks in the wall of his cell at the place
opposite tho ellxiw of gas pi|>e. Tho right
sjiot could only have been located liy care
ful mathematical calculation. Then with
his saw, which was ingeniously set In a long
wooden handle, he had severed the gas pipe
diagonally on both sides of the elbow. The
work must have taken several weeks to ac
complish. But the prisoner's ingenuity was
best shown by the instruments he had made
to conceal his work until the time for action
came. With patter and cotton cloth tie had
reproduced the elliow of the gas pipe so that
it fitted snugly over the iron ends and pre
vented the escape of gas The iron that was
out off he allowed to fall between the walls.
The (taper pine was strongly rolled,
ami was a wonderful piece of workman
ship. When he was ready he removed the
paper tube, and filled the s|ice between the
walls with gas, aud then threw a lighted
match through tiie hole. There was enough
of an explosion to shatter the plastering of
the cells in that wing aud to break some of
the windows, hut the granite walls were un
injured. A large sheet of (lame filled his
cell and hurled him so violently against the
bars as to render him unconscious. His in
juries will confine him to bed for some days.
The officers Imvo searched his cell every few
days, but, lie hod effectually concealed every
trace of his w ork, the place of the mortar
around the bricks living supplied by soap.
Warden Russell said to a reporter this
afternoon: “Jesse Pomeroy’s study of chem
istry and civil enginen mg for the past ten
years has only served to keep his name
lierore the public, aiul even such simple
t hings as tin plates, cups, aud htioodn in his
hands are a source of danger both to himself
and to every one in the prison.”
The Warden showed the instruments
which lie had obtained or constructed to
break through the wall and cut the gas
pi Ik* The implement which he doubtless
found most, useful in cutting (he stone and
brick work was a cold chisl about 4x inches
long. How lie gyt this and other things is u
mystery. Another curious little instrument,
which was doubtless of his own make, was
of the size and shape of a shoemaker's awl
handle, with a steel blade running through
it and projecting at, inch end. This was
used by him m scraping out the mortar. A
little saw, made of a pocket-knife blade, on
a rough wooden handle about a foot long,
wan used to saw the gas pipe joint
But the oddest thingof all was the subati
tute for the gas pi|>e, which he made hv
coiling and pasting linen endpaper. One
was a pine about an inch in diameter arid a
foot and a half long. The other corre
sponded to the metal cap at the Joint of the
gas pipe. The latter was used to cover up
the hole which he had cut and permit th"
gas to flow through until such time as it
suited his purpose to let it escape. By
placing this capon he was able to let the
ga pass through without causing any odor
in his cell.
“It is odd,” said Warden Russell, “that
lie should have risked hisown life by having
the explosion occur while he was in his own
c"II. He might possibly have made some
slow match arrangement and then waited
until some limo when he would betaken out
for a bath.”

We may fairly rejoi<, too, with our

“That, didn’t finish you, eh? Thun 111 go
