Hardly hud the jury left tho room when a piercing •brick was heard, followed by tne heavy fulling of the form of Mrs. Schwab to tbe floor, to whom the result of the verdict had been interpreted. She is also a sister of Scbnaubelt, the alleged bomb thrower. She was carried to the air by tho police, and soon revived. Mrs. Parsons looked haggard as she Ktarted to leave tbe court-room, but main tained a degree of compo.ure. The crowd remained outside for an hour after the reading o the verdict It is un derstood that the authorities now contem plate the immediate arrest cf all persons tv, u individually connected with tbe Ilay* market tragedy for conspiracy. Tbe lead ers, heating the ontcomo of the verdict, are preparing to leave the city. All the relatives and personal friends of the condemned AnaicblaU immediately left the courtroom. Shortly after tho swooning of Mrs. Schwab, Mrs. Parsons and her fe male companion, after leaving the court room, returned and seated themselves by Gen. \V. H. Parsons, of Tt xaa, brother of one of tbe condemned. The trio discussed the outcome among themselves. TDK PBISONKBS were conveyed through the covered Iron way which leads from the oonrt room to the Jail, and were at onco placed in the “cage,” a small compartment near the en trance to the jail, which is heavily barred and very completely covered witn thick wire netting. They were joined there shortly by their attorneys, who extended to them what encouragement was in their lower of the relief of an appeal. Spies tad divested hinnelf of his coat, and seemed to be the most thoroughly composed of the eight. He declined to converge with any one but the attorneys, bnt it iB stated he had a premonition that his fate was sealed. Engel, who has maintained a very quiet air throughout the trial, appeared to be the most thoroughly depressed onu of tbe lot He sat ou a bench with his bands clenched in iront of him, lookiog at the floor. He did not even look np to respond to a re mark from one of bia companions. Lingg, the young bomb maker, walked about tbe cage somewhat nervously, and wonld not respond to a salutation by the newspaper representative. He bad lost bis smile, a d be displayed the effect of the ex citement of the ordeal of the morning by complete loss of color. Parsons, who had given himself np for trial, looked disconcerted and broken down, but joined at intervals in questions directed at tbe attorneys. Fischer, who had looked very badly dar ing the trial, having an almost absolutely oolntless face, bad in a measure recovered himself, and smoked a cigar as he listened to tneinteiohange of views between counsel and Spies. Fii Men sat on the box at the aide of En gel and offered very little comment daring the talk.

It ■onDded like a knell to tho prison ers, but in it was an assurance to the tired jury of what they must have almost known all along that the in- terc-ht of Chicago in the trial had not abated since the morning ot May 5th.

Tho jury, after having received their pay, were driven away in carriages to escape the lingering-crowds outside of the jail. Mr. Seizler, of counsel for the defense, said that he kelieveel that tbe verdict waa against anarchy aud not tbe Anarchists on trial He thought tbe verdiot was a great surprise to the State's attorney, Grinned, himself. People stood in groups on all the Btreets leading to the court rooms and eagerly pur chased tbe various editions of the papers which followed each other rapidly. During the resiling if tbe verdict the prisoners were complete ly bidden from the view of every one in the court room, a cordon of police completely anrroundtDg them, and w hatever immediate effect the reading of tlie verdict hail npon them, conlel not be diecerneik The precautions of the police were apparently directed so as to guard against any demonstration by the prisoners or their fridnds of aDy character whatever. The motion for new trial, itUexpected.will be beard early next month. If it is over ruled Judge <Jary will pronounce sentence and fix tbe elate for the carrying out ot the death penalty. Tbe case will then go to the Supreme Court for review. It is generally the ex- pressed view of the lawyers that the Bn- prime Coart will not interfere if Judge Gary refuses a new trial, as tbe conrt, it is contended, ruled with great liberality to- wards tbe defendants and connael, and rcnel to tbe jury nearly every instruction asked for on behalf of the defendants. “iVe had oar verdict mails up before o'clock last night,” ssid C.

Chicago, III., August 21.—The Illinois Stunts Zeituug, in its lending editorial to day, says: “The greut American republic has announced to the whole world, through the months of twelve honest men in Chi cago. that freedom is not synonymous will tho overthrow of the principles of well or dered governmental and social States, and that it understands how to protect trno American freedom against that contempti ble European outgrowth, anarchy. The saddest thought for us Gcrman-Americans is tho fact that a majority of men who, through the terrors of the HaymArket, have brought upon themselves the contempt and anger of the entire republie of our fatherland, and tho home of our children, are Germans. Of course, tho majority of tho American people have become convinced that tho Anarchists form but a very small minority of the German-American element, and is totally foreign to it. The judicial denunciation of anarchy in America will prove a most potent influence upon American and German-Amer- ican workingmen. Through a strong decis ion of twelve jurors in Chicago the great American workingmen's movement iu its legal and justiiiable strife for tho ennoble ment of the dignity of labor has been freed from a fearful and bloody oppression, be neath whioh it has suffered since the *lth of May.

The proportions are such that the new ve* sel la expected to develop remarkable speed, and if onr engine makers do their work os well os it may be done she will be one of the fastest cruisers afloat Advertise ments will be published within a few days, and the ship is likely to be completed with in about eighteen months. UtrslimoDHtons are to be length (over all) 335 feet, beam extreme 48 feet 8 inches. Her draft will bo 19feet 8'inohes, and load displacement 4,413 tons. She ia expected to attain the speed of 19 knots. A MEXICAN REVOLUTION the mob then made a break for the jail yell log, “Every man who has a wife come for ward." Tho front door was broken open, tho sheriff's guard* overpowered and disarmed, the second door batterdfi down, and with a rush the determined men forced their way np stairs. After several miuntes' delay the doomed woman was found crouching in a cell, and the jailer was made to deliver tho keys and the victim wns dragged out amid oaths and veils. Up to this time there had been very littlo noise, the mob working with eool d •termi nation, like men who ueant to succeed. At this time a wild cry was raised ns they brought the wretch out, and “bang" and “born" expressed two opposing sentiments. Finally she was borne, umid the horrible yelling i f tho mob to Court Square, ovc-y rag of clothing being torn from her body.
