AFFECTING INCIDENT.
As the President and Mrs. Cleveland
came out of the White House one cveu
ing, and were entering their carriage to
return to Oak View, their attention was
directed to a little hoy who was waiting
to shake hands with them. Ilia name
was Herbert Gildersleeve, and he had
walked from Pittsburg, a distance of 300
miles, to see the President. The Presi¬
dent turned to the little fellow, shook
him warmly by the hand, and after com
plimenting him him for his walk, presented
to Mrs. Cleveland, who gave him a
very pleasant shake of the hand from the
carriage. Herbert was ten years old, and
made his long pedestrian tour to the cap¬
ital in company with his father. Both
will return to Pittsburg by rail.

A DEATH TRAP.
Two Negro VVcll-l>l*ger* Arc Siifl'ornted by
Poisonous Gasses.
Lewis and Jack Bates, two neurc
brothers, met horrible deaths while
cleaning out a well on Simon Ti»}lor‘s
place, three miles north of Greensboro,
Ala. Lewis, while digging in the well,
suddenly cried out to his brother, then
at the windlass, to draw him up, ex¬
claiming in a gurgling voice: “I am
chokin’, chokin’; I am dyin’, djink”
Jack and others began at once to haul
him from the well, but when half way
out his hold gave way, owing to his
weakness caused by suffocation, and he
fell back io the bottom, dying with
groanings and stifled mutterings. Jack,
alarmed, rapidly descended into the well
to rescue his brother, and when he
reached the gas, he likewise met the
horrible death of being choked by the
deathly gas. The other laborers working
at and near the well, became so terribly
frightened that they ran away, piled leaving
the corpses of the two brothers to¬
gether in a gaseous and partly watery
grave. After some hours the bodies
were dragged from the well by means of
iron hooks, and the scene as presented
was horrible of the beyond description’. The
eyeballs men had nearly burst
from their sockets. Both bodies wore
swelled almost beyond recognition. Ex¬
pressions of awful suffering was pictured
upon both faces. The muscles were
badly drawn, and all in all, the corpses
were a sight most horrible to look at.
Both negroes were speedily of buried and
various are the conjectures the supersti¬
tious people as to the cause of sud¬
den and mysterious killing of the
brothers.

the recent mobilization experiment show-
5^ to give l ^ at France arm the J, was revenge now j for n a which position she
impatiently waited. The speeches excite
8er ious comment. Vienna papers en
deavor to soften the effect of the speeches
made at the military banquet at Toulouse,
an< ^ that no importance must be
attached to them. They blame the
speakers and say that the German press
will be sure to make an outcry, because
of the speeches, and admonishes France
to remain quiet and dignified.

Groat Excitement in C'bienno—'Tho Con¬

Calmly—The Anarchist Moat Furious.
Justice Magrvuler announced the de¬
cision in the anarchist case, at Ottown,
Ills. A6 the justices tiled into the couit
room, headed by Chief Justice [Sheldon,
they appeared more dignified than ever.
The chief justice waved his associates to
their seats even more stately than his
wont; his nod to the sheriff was more
6tifl and his “Open the court” less audi¬
ble than on the previous days of the
term.
Justice Magruder he appeared flushed aud
nervous as entered the court room,the
cause of which was evidenced a few mo¬
ments later when Chief Justice Sheldon
turned to him, and in a voice, which
would have been inaudible save for the
deathly stillness which pervaded the
room, said: “Justice Magruder, have
you any announcement to make?” The
flushed appearance of the justice changed
to that of pallor and his voice was husky
as he responded: “In August Spies and
others against the people of the state of
Illinois, No 59 advisement docket.” The
chief justice nervously turned the leaves
of the court docket to the case indicated,
when the justice read the decision of the
court in the “anarchist case.” As he
commenced reading he regained his com¬
posure. His voice was clear and distinct
until the order fixing the death penalty
and the date of execution was reached,
when his reading became labored, hie
voice husky, and his manner showed that
it was with the greatest emotion that he
performed the duty he had been dele¬
gated voiced by liis the associates decision to of perform, the court hav¬ in
ing
the most celebrated case it lias ever bceu
called upon to decide.
Justice Sheldon said: “In this case the
court orders that the sentence of the su¬
perior court of Cook county of the de¬
fendants Fielden, in indictment—August Adolph Spies,
Samuel It. Parsons,
Fischer, Engel, Louis Linggand Michael
Sdnvab—be carried into effect by the
sheriff of Cook county on the 15th day
of November next, on Friday, between
the hours of ten o’clock in the forenoon
and four o’clock in the afternoon on that
day. The judgment of the court was
unanimous.” The opinion had makes counsel 00,000
wore s. The anarchists no

decision was announced and no steps
were taken in thei.r behalf. They liave
fifteen days in which to file a motion for
a rehearing anel thiity days from the close
of the teim to file n petition in support
thereof. This will not act as a stay of
sentence, aud they will have to show
very strong grounds before the court
would consent to the issue of a stay of
execution until a rehearing could be had
next term.
cell The 25 turnkey of the Chicago who took jail the and dispatch shoved to it
through the liars, lingered a moment to
watch the effect it would have on Spies.
The anarchist took the message, glanced
firmly at the turnkey and then withdrew
to the darker end of the cell. In two
minutes or so, lie called gently to the
old man who sits as a dcuthwatch outside
the barred door and asked him to hand
the telegram to Parsons. From him it
went to all the others and reached Neebo,
who is the only one under sentence of
imprisonment. It could be dimly seen
that eacli of the condemned men made
ostentative efforts at coolness and brava¬
do. They took seats at their cell doors
and rend newspapers and books, smoked
cigars, and once Lingg, the bomb-maker,
whistled. Their wives and friends had
been with them for an hour during the
morning, but about thirty minutes before
the news came they were all excluded,
and the prisoners lock eel up.
Sheriff Matson had remained away from
the jail. By his orders during the uight,
the guards had all been doubled. In
•hiding court bailiffs there were twenty

morning, who were stationed in the jail

to experience no uneasiness from any at¬
tempts to break into the jail, and says he

The news of the aflirination, by the su¬
preme court, of the decision of the lower
court in the cases of the condemned an¬
archists, caused great excitement among
New York socialists aud anarchists. Ilerr
Most was furious. Most’s editorial is ad¬
dressed “To the Workingmen of Al>
Countries.” He characterizes the judges
who made the decision as “infamous and
blood-thirsty fools,” and the jury as cor¬
rupt. November 11 was the day set for
the murder of these “heroes, ” The cap¬
italists wished to see blood flow to show
the people that they were the law and
do as they pleased.

the Evansville & Indianapolis Railroad
aud J. C. Palmer, a wealthy farmer near
Washington, Ind. The road is built
along the line of a canal, wich was aban¬
doned by the trustees. When tho canal
was abandoned the land reverted to the
former owners. Notwithstanding this
and the fact that twenty canal years’ possession sold
gives a valid title, the trustees
the property and rights and franchises to «
the railroad company. When the road
came to be built, however, the farmers
refused to allow the line to cross their
farms, but the company raised a force and
completed the road. In 1885, Palmer
got a perpetual injunction, and under it
he is arresting the train hands from day
to day as they try to run trains across hia
laud, and seems to be in a fair way to
stop operations on the road. He now has
a number of conductors, engineers and
brakamcn under bond.
