It is authoritatively stated that Secre tary Lamar will surely be appointed to fill the vacancy on the Supreme bench, and that Postmaster N ilas will be trans ferred to the interior department, and lion.

I con the meeting of the senate in December, a successor to Senator Ingalls as Vice President pro-teni, will be elected. Senator Sherman desires the place and will likely be chosen, but it is thought will not receive the cordial support of some of his party colleagues who have presiden tial aspirations. It Ims been the hope and aim of Chica go to pass Brooklyn during the present decade and stand the third city of the Fnion in population. There is now lit tle reason to doubt that it will. If the two cities increase during the present decade at tlie same rate as in the past, they would have in 1000—Chicago 850,- 000, Brooklyn 700,000. There is little reason to doubt that Chicago will reach this figure, if it does not exceed it. On a single day this week it added no less than 65,0* oto its population. Oh Tues day the question of the annexation to to Chicago of certain suburban towns was voted on, and Hyde Park, Brighton, Central Park, Cicero and .Jefferson, with a population of 05,000, decided in favor of coming into Chicago, while in Lake and Lake View the verdict was against annexation by a small majority.

Cartersville —Her Prospects. Our city evidently Inis-seen its worst days, and a more prosperous future lies just before her. The m eat sales of real estate confirm the fact that our own peo ple have an abiding faith in her upward march. Property sold for fair prices and new buildings will soon be the order of the day, and our town will soon patron a new phase of prosperity. Commercially, we are already the most active town in Georgia for our population. We claim only 2,500 souls, and the amount of goods sold here annually is immense. This of course grows out of the fact that our merchants are men of enterprise and fully understand their business— also men of cash means and have every facility for buying goods at the lowest possible prices, and are willing to sell them at verv moderate profits. Goods can be bought here at retail as low as in New York or Atlanta and our farmers .have found this to be tin* fact, and for forty to fifty miles around, they come to bnv their supplies. No mat ter where they sell their products, no set of merchants in Georgia can give better bargains than ours, and they do it, hence their success. We have two banks hen* which offer all money facilities for paying for cotton, corn and wheat, and furnish ing exchange in any quantity to our thrifty merchants and all t raveling com mercial salesmen. We have the largest and lw*st carriage factory in Georgia. We have developed anew enterprise iu our town which will add much capital to her ]ieopie—the grinding and manufacturing of ochre into paint stuffs under the intel ligent direction of Mr. A. P. Silva, of our city. We are surrounded by the richest man ganese ores in the world, being profitably ship|ed to all points. Our population will compare favorably with any in Geor gia in points of morality, honesty, intel ligence and religion. A healthier or more desirable place to live does not exist. Cheer up, fellow-tow nsmen, we are on the eve of general prosjierity. Tl e Chicago Anarcliisfs and Their < r me. The execution of the-Chicago anarch ists, oil last Friday, was a great triumph of the law, but was a partial failure in that the ms ks of two of tin* party— Schwab and Fieiden —wen* spared by executive clemency. It was the execution of no common criminals for no common offense. The parties were found guilty of one of tin* most delilierate and atrocious nnlVders of modern times. Thev had ho provocation whatever, unless to preserve tin* |tenet* and maintain law and social order is a provocation to crime. In com mitting their monstrous crime they were not inflamed by intoxication or moved by jiersonal resentment. They had none of the excuses that are frequently the attendants of murder. They came to a land of liberty, of law. where all of every clime can enjoy every quality of freedom that is consistent with human happiness, and they came to plot murder and an archy. They deliberately planned mur der without pro vocation or the semblance of an excuse; they deliberately and wan tonly executed murder and merited the severest {tenuity of the law. Tin* safety of society demanded the sternest vindication of the law They were aliens to our citizenship; aliens to law and order; aliens to the exceptional free- dom)) enjoyed by Americans in the sanc tity of home, person and pro|>erty. After all these men had been declared guilty alike by every tribunal known to the law in the State, and by the Highest tribunal of the nation, it does s(***m that Governor Oglesby made a grave error in commut ing the death sentences, of Schwab and Fieiden. They were just as guilty as their co-conspirators, and all 'of them were just such murderers as must be taught the majesty of the law. These men wen* leaders in the “•Interna tional Workingmen's Association,” com posed almost entirely of foreigners—a class of men whose birth and teachings were inimical to the absolute freedom of American institutions. Parsons, Spies, Schwab, Fieiden, Fischer, Lingg, Engel and Xeebe, on repeated occasions ad dressed the various societies of this or ganization, delivering incendiary and revolutionary speeches, and frequently by their harangues would incite the alien mobs that would gather around them, to violence —to an armed resistance to the law. They were fill in some way connected with the Arbeiter Zeitung, the organ of the anarchists, which was filled with violent and rebellious articles, urg ing a conflict with the “property mailing class,” and repeatedly advised the pur chase of rifles and dynamite. They not only did this, but they gave specific in structions how to handle and use dyna mite, and how to make bombs, aiid how to procure weapons. On a number of occasions these men counseled and brought on bloody con flicts between the authorities find their ignorant and deluded followers —notably fit the great strike fit the McCormick reaper works, when Parsons and Spies led a mob of several thousand and urged a destruction of the works and the kill ing of tin* police in the event of interfer ence. An assault was made on the after noon of May Bd, and the windows of the works were litterly riddled with brick bats and other missiles and honest work men were driven from their posts. The police were soon summoned and by a de termined attack dispersed the mob, after killing one of the rioters. This greatly incensed the anarchists, where upon the leaders planned the Hayniarket meeting for May 4th, inviting the an archists to come prepared to resist any interference upon the part of the officers, The crimes of this meeting brought about the trial and conviction of the leaders. At the time appointed Spies and Parsons, with their co-conspirators, were there ready for the conflict. Lingg had {ire pared a trunk load of bombs, which were distributed among the men with instruc tions how and when to throw them, in case of the appearance of the police. The coveted time arrived. .Just as Fieiden, the last orator of the evening, had closed his blatant harrangue, with a demand that those present should “throttle the law; stiib it; kill it;” thecriticnlmoment had arrived, the passions of those pres ent had been aroused to the highest pitch, 174 policemen were dispatched to the scene of the meeting to quell the dis turbance. As the captain of the police commanded the mob to disperse peace ably, the sign was given by the leaders, the bombs were thrown, and in a second twenty-nine mangled bodies of policemen fell to the ground. The anarchists had gone a step too far. The sequel to this atrocious and fiendish act, that start-led a continent, is the history of the trial, conviction and execution of their leaders- W. E.

August Spies, who liecuuie, if possible, more famous than any other of the group of convicted Anarchists in consequence of his so-ealled proxy marriage with Miss Nina Van Zandt, was a German, having Ihn-ii bom in Friedcwold. in the province of il**sse, in 1855. During his early years la* had the advantage of the instruction of a private tutor, after which liesjient sometime at the Polyteehnic Institute. At the age of sixteen he emigrated to the Faited States and proceeded at on**-** to I'liiengo. Hen* he obtained employment in an upholstering establishment. After working in his new calling for a time lie went to Fairbury, 111., but did not remain long. Returning to Chicago he tried his hand at various occupations with indif ferent success, and Anally became, in 1880. the editor of the Arbeit**!* Zeitung. the organ of the Chicago group of Anar chists. Through the editorial columns of his communistic sheet- In* counseled the use of bombs and firearms against the capitalists and the police, and was one of the prime movers in the conspiracy which culminated in the Hayniarket massacre. He wrote the famous “Revenge" circular immediately after the riot at the .McCor mick Rentier Works on the afternoon of May 3, 1880. He presided at the meet ing in Hayniarket Square on the follow-, ing night, making flu* first speech, in which he advocated resistance to the offi cers of the kiw. In the drawers of his desk in the Arbeiter Zeitung office were found letters from Most, counseling the use of bombs against capitalists and the representatives of the law. Spies appears to have been the most influential man of the entire group of conspirators, partly because of superior intelligence, but chief ly because he could inflame the passions of his cranky followers by his lurid ap peals to their prejudices through the col umns of his journal. MICIIAKL SCHWAO. Michael Scwag, whose sentence was commuted to imprisonment for life, was Spies'assistant on the Arbeiter Zeitung. He was born in Bavaria in 1858, being two years older than Spies. Schwab was gtven as good an education as it was common for boys toget in that province, and at the age of 1(> was apprenticed to the book-binders' trade in Nil rein burg. Here lie imbibed ultra Socialistic doc trines, joining a Socialist group in that city, in 1879 he came to Milwaukee, where he remained a year or two, after w 1 1 ich he removed to < 'hicago and engaged with Spies as assistant editor of the Ar beiter Zeitung. He, with Spies, was one of the leading spirits of conspiracy which ended in the fatal bomb-throwing. About a week previous to the fatal encounter in Hayniarket Square he made a speech in which he advised the workingmen to arm and on the night of the bomb-throwing went to the square for the purpose of seeing Spies. They met and Spies was heard to ask Schwab, “Do you think one is enough?” doubtless referring to the bomb. He afterward exclaimed, in the hearing of an uncontradioted witness, “Now if they come we will give it to them.” Schwab was a member of the North Side “group,” to which Lingg and Seliger belonged, the general committee of which held its meeting every two Weeks in the library room in the rear of Schwab’s office. LOUIS LINGG. Louis Lingg, the bomb-maker, who committed suicide on Thursday, was the youngest conspirator of the group, being only 28 years-of age. He was born in Baden, Germany, where he received a common school education. Leaving Ger many, he first emigrated to Switzerland, where lit spent a few years, coming to Chicago about three years ago and iden tifying-himself at once with the Anar chists. He lived with William Seliger, a carpenter at No. 4“J2 Sedgwick street, at whose house all the bombs were made, Seliger himself being Ling’s assistant in their manufacture. The bombs were of the famous “Czar” pattern, consisting of two semi-gobular shells, fastened togeth er by a bolt, with a bead at one end and a nut at the other. The composition of the shell was chiefly lead with a small allow of tin, antimony and zinc. The shells were filled with dynamite paid for with money furnished Lingg by the Workingmen’s International Association. Lingg often went to the woods north of the city to experiment with his bombs, tearing the trees in pieces by their explo sion. “Fodder for the police” these bombs were termed by Spies, and on the day of the Hayniarket massacre Lingg and Seliger filled a trunk with them and carried it to Neffs Hall, where the deadly missiles were distributed, the men who were to use them putting them in their pockets and going to the Hayiqpiket Square meeting. The distribution of the bombs took place about an hour before Spies called the meeting to order and be gan his inflammatory address. ADOLIMI l- IS*'lli:K. Adolph Fischer was also a German, twenty-nine years of age, and a printer by trade. He came to this country when only fourteen years old and seems to have imbibed his Socialistic notions by his association with Spies, Schwab anil others connected with the Arbeiter Zei tung, upon which he was employed as a compositor, lie is married and has two children. Fischer tixed the time and place of the Hayniarket meeting and first sug gested the use of the word “Ruhe,” which was to appear in the letter box column of the Arbeiter Zeitung as the signal that the revolution had begun and that all members of the various Anarchist groups were to arm themselves and prepare to attack police stations and policemen with bombs and tire arms. He was pres ent at the Hay market meeting and was arrested and convicted as one of tin* original conspirators. OKORCK ENOKI.. George Engel was likewise a native of Germany, having been born in Kassel, in the province of Hesse, in 1887. Engel was the oldest of the group of convicted conspirators and was a painter by trade. Coming to this country in January, 1872, lie soon settled in Chicago, where lie has since resided. He was once the unsuccessful candidate of the Socialists for the office of West Town Collector, lb* soon became a recognized leader of the fellows who wanted to reorganize so ciety by destroying all organization, and in tin* spring ot 1880 w as made the busi ness manager of the Arbeiter Zeitung. lie occasionally varied the tedium of his business duties by w riting a red-hot edi g :> UGta{ed^ gf food It is not “tlie only’UFood^ BUT IT IS THE BEST FOOD, ' N THE CHEAPEST FOOD, .

Samuel Fieiden is of English mitivitv, having been born in Lancashire in 1847. From the time he was eight years old un til he attained his majority he worked in a cotton mill, being* in no way distin guished from his fellow-operators of like age and surroundings, except by a free ami liberal gift of speech. At eighteen he joined the Methodist church at NYes lyii, becoming a Sunday school superin tendent and local preacher. In 1868 he emigrated to the United States, settling at first in Cleveland, Ohio, where he re mained three years. Removing to Chi cago in 1869 lie seems to have fallen among evil associates and to have for saken tlie peaceful walk of a religious life for tlje more turbulent profession of au Anarchist. He was soon hand-in-glove with the little clique of conspirators which had its headquarters at the office of the Arbeiter Zeitung, and became one of the foremost advocates of the dyna mite method of reorganizing society. In one of his speeches lie advocated the raising of Michigan avenue to the ground. He made the closing speech at Haymark et Square, and almost the last words he uttered before the fatal explosion were; “Throttle the law! stab it, kill it.” Six policemen swore that as he descended from the wagon lie drew a revolver and fired on the police. Albert R. Parsons, the only American among the convicted dynamiters, was born in Texas. Ih* seems to have grown up with that loose regard for law and legal methods which characterized the Texas of before the war. Living by his wits chiefly he came to Chicago about fourteen years ago to pursue the avoca tion of a labor agitator. He married his wife in Texas, the lady having been the wife of a negro, from whom she separated without the formality of either divorce or funeral. Mrs. Parsons has a greater contempt for the law, if possible, than her condemned husband, which is not surprising under the circumstances. Par sons soon identified himself with the group of Anarchists in his new home, and became a recognized leader of the motley crew.' He was a member of the American Armed Group that drilled with the avowed purpose of destroying the police. The Alarm, an Anarchist paper published by him, advocated bloodshed and dynamite. The call for the meeting of the American Armed Group on the night of the massacre was in his hand writing. He made the second speech at the meeting previous to the explosion, during which lie flourished a revolver and called “To arms” several times. Par sons seems to have been more directly connected with the drilling of the various bodies of armed Socialists than any of the other conspirators. In the spring of 1885 he boasted that there were 8,900 of these men in Chicago well armed with rifles and revolvers, who would have dy namite and bombs in addition when they got ready to use them. OSCAR W. NEE BE. Neebe, who escaped with a sentence of fifteen years in the penitentiary, is of German parentage, although born in New York, lie is 89 years of age and came to Chicago when he was 15. He is a tin smith by trade. He and his friends seem to be satisfied that he got off as easy as he deserved, and all efforts have been abandoned for the present to secure a mitigation of his sentence. THE EXECUTION. A few minutes after 1 1 the condemned men were given their final luncheon, and Parsons drank a cup of coffee just before the march to the scaffold was begun. The rattling of chairs, tables and beuches of the reporters continued for several minutes, but by 11:05 there began to fall a hush and conversation among crowd sank almost to a whisper. The bare, whitewashed walls made a painful contrast with the dark-brown gallows, with its four noosed ropes drooping ominously near the floor. A gleam of sunshine shooting through the window at this instant fell on a corner of the death machine and i*i a slight, degree re lieved its sombre Ime. Through the window one Haw a number of policemen armed with rifles looking down from the roof of the Dearborn street wing on the proceedings. The chief bailiff began at 11:10 calling out the names of the persons summoned as jurors, and bringing them forward to the row of little stools directly in front of the gallows. No other sounds were heard in the long, high'corridor but tht solemn, monotonous voice of the bailiff Home Evidence No other preparation has won success at home equal to Hood's Sarsaparilla. In Lowell, Mass., where it is made, it is now, as it lias been for years, the leading medicine fi r purifying the blood, and toning and strengthening the system.

It was exactly twent.v-three minutes punt eleven when the Sheriff began read ing the death wifrrunt to Spies, who, robed in a white shroud, listened to the reading without emotion- 11 hile the warrant was being mid to to Spies depu ties wen* busy putting the shroml on Engel. The same process was gone through with all the other doomed men and at 11:22 the death march to the scaffold was started. It lacked just seven minutes and a half of the hourofhiyh noon when a single white-shrouded figure, above w hich was a face of yellowish pallor —the fm*e ol August Spies—passed the first post of the gallows. The gaping crowd ten feet below half rose involuntary from their chairs at the first glimpse of the appari tion advancing across t lie scaffold. Spies looked calm and glanced at the reporters with a trace of his old-time cynical smile. F ACINI! DEATH FIRMLY. He walked firmly over the drop, guided bv the gasp of a deputy, to the furthest edge of the gallows. Following closely came Fischer, close enough to touch Spies' shroud had his hands not been pinioned under the white muslin.. I'is elier's countenance had a peculiar glisten, totally unlike the ashiness ol Engel s heavy features and in strange contrast with the dead lack of color in the pinched lineaments of Parsons. The once jaunty, vivacious Texan came last, a withered old man. He had aged twenty years since the dav and hour scarce twelve months be fore when he tripped lightly into the court before'Judge Gary and flippantly declared tluyt he was ready to be tried at once for his life. The moment his feet touched the scaf fold, Parsons seemed to completely lose his identify and to feel that his spirit was no longer part of his body. He had w rought himself to an ecstacy ol solemn self-glorification. Only lie —tlfe one American —seemed to realize to the lull that he must die in a manner to impress, if possible, on all future generations the thought that he was a martyr. PAKSONs’ Tit Alt 1C DEMEANOR. No tragedian that lias paced a stage in America ever made a more marvelous presentation of a self-chosen part perfect in every detail. The upward turn of his eyes, his distant far-away look, and above all the attitude of apparent com plete resignation that every fold of the awkward shrouds only served to make more distinct, was by far the* most strik ing feature of the entire gallows picture. The squat toini of Engel alongside, with stupid, wide-jawed face, made a hideous contrast to Parsons' assump tion of the hale of a martyr. Fischer was head and shoulders taller than the other three, making his occasional looks of too evident bravado more noticeable than might otherwise be, at a sorry dis advantage, compared with tin* steady coolness of Spies. The latter's exhibi tion of quiet, thorough nerve far sur passed, as a wonder, the demeanor of any of his comrades. The four burley Deputies standing to the rear of the four condemned men began without delay to adjust the ropes, Spies' noose being the one first placed. He did not appear to regard it of any more consequence than anew linen collar. The knot vv is slipped down the cord close against his neck. Spies did not show a tremor, but when tlie same pro cess was being carried out with Fischer, he turned and quietly whispered to the bailiff some suggestion concerning the rope. Fischer's occasional ardor was quite noticeably lessened when he felt the hempen strand, and Engel bit his under lip hard when his turn came. Just then Dr. Murphey, a young physician standing back of Engel, whispenngly cracked a joke at Engel's ear. Incredible as it may seem, the low browed Anarchist laughed outright with the rope around his neck and while another was being fastened on Parsons by his side. Hut the grotesque laugh stopjted in a single instant and Parsons, meekly as a saint, cast his eves upwards at the dangling line above him. Before the four Anarchists had an inkling of of what was to be done, the white caps were deftly slipped upon their heads and drawn quickly down to the necks, shut ting off the view of each as completely and with less warning than does the camera cloth of a photographer. August Spies was the first of the doom ed four men to make use of his wits while he could. In a tone of intense bitterness of spirit he, the man who wrote the infamous revenge circular, hissed out between his tightly-clenched teeth: “There will come a time when our silence will be more powerful than the voices thev are strangling to death." The last syllable of Spies' concluding words, hoarse with suppressed passion, had not reached an end when Engel rais ing his voice, wildly cried: “Hurrah for Anarchy!” DEFIANT TO THE DEATH. Fischer caught, the fire of the ut terauce and still more loudly exclaimed: “Hurrah for Anarchy! This is the happiest moment of my life.” There was a silence like the grave, broken abrubtly by the slow, measured intonation of Parsons, like a white-robed priest before the altar of sacrifice. Not as a dying request, but rather like a command or warning, hesounded forth: “May I be allowed to speak?"' “Then with a slow entreaty came: “Will you let me speak, Sheriff Matson? There was an agonized pause. Muffled through shroud, broke out in unnatural hollow accents: “Let the voice of the people be heard. A crash as of a falling house thunders through the corridors. The slender ropes were taut. In full view of the two hun dred men in front were the four white withering shrouds. The ropes could be seen slowly tighten ing about the necks that between cap and shroud could be noticed blackening and purpling. Nine minutes passed. Then it was known to a certainty that not a neck had been broken. The four Ilaymarket murderers had been literally throttled and strangled by the law. It was wonderful to note how quickly the excitement which had filled the jail all morning calmed down. The 200 prison ers confined in the place, who had been at fever heut during the tragic event of the day, regained their usual spirits. They cracked jokes from cell to cell, and as they had nothing to eat since breakfast, they soon began to call for soup, soup. A FT Kit THU EXECUTION. The spectators who had witnessed the hanging walked rapidly out of the enclos ure* and the weary deputies went to din ner, the only ones left in the jail office being the press representatives. At 1:30 o’clock the coffin in which lay the body of Parsons was carried out of the jail and taken to the home of the widow. Curious police officials walked into the jail to learn how the execution had been proceeded with, and were in turn ques tioned as to how the citizens outside had acted. “There was absolutely no trou ble," one and all replied. .
