Placing a pistol to his head, tho policeman
ordered him io come on, hut Lingg refused

"Its a pity I did not accommodate him,”

TOUCUINO SCENES
When the news of the commutation of
the sentence of Fitlden and Bohwab wxs
received at the jail, there wee an extraordi
nary scene of activity. News was sent to
the relatives of all the condemned men,
and in a short time they began to arrive at
the jail. First of tho women tooomewas
Mrs. Schwab. Boon after Schwab was
brought from his cell to the office. Hia
wife quickly advanced to him, and throw
ing her arms about his neok burst into
tears. Bohwab returned her
embrace in a calm manner
and soon the two were chatting quittly to
gether. After this. Spies and Fischer were
)ronght from their cells and taken to tbe
jail library. Engel was brongbt to tbe
irivato offloo ot Mr. Folz. This was done
or the purpose of allowing relatives to take
their last interviews. The first one of tho
women to arrive alter Mta. Schwab waa
Miss Engel, danghter of the condemned
Anarchist. When the two met in the
private offico there was
AN OUTBUB-T OF QRIEF
which it is impossible to desoribe. The
father and danghter clung to each other
and sobbed convulsively. Their conversa
tion was in Garmon, and l'ltened to only by
Deputy OlesoD. Then came Mrs. Spies,
the mother ot Spies. She bad been wait
ing on the outside ior ah hour and a half.
Her sobs could be beard throughout the
corridors of tho building. She did not
stay long in the library with her ton, and
on her exit from |tho jail Mrs. Fischer waa
admitted. She went into the library and
her lementaliODB were beard abovo the
tramp of tbe deputies who swarmed about
the plaoc.
BUT THE CBOWNINO SCENE OF ALL
was the visit of Nina Van Zindt, proxy
wife of Bpias. Sho was oonducted to tho
'ibrsry by Deputy Olrson. As she walked
through the main office eho betrayed no
emotion. The moment she saw August,
however, her demeanor oompletely changed.
There waa a lcok, then a gasp, and in a trice
tbe lovers wero in oseh other’s arms. A
number of eurious reporters and officials
arowded up to tbe door of the library, but
it was quickly shut by the deputy. The in
terview between tbe prisoner and hia faith
ful devotee lasted neatly half an hour.
NO TBOUBLE ANTICIPATED.
The seoretary ot the United Labor party
said that he did not believe that there
would be any troublo to-morrow. Hit in
formation waa to ths effect that the execu
tive committco ot tbe union had simply ad
vised members of tbe union to abstain
from work on the day of execution, proba
bly as a mark of reapeo 1 , and the Arbieler
Z.-ituog had emphasised this counsel by
asking tbe men to stay at home end not go
oo tho streets at all.

your Eioellenoy m a still more cmbaira‘8-

of a.mUinformed’pnblic ot | he one hand and
justice on the other, they conclud'd to
submit tbe ease to you unconditionally. I
implore you not to let this differeuoe of

determining our fete. During our
trial tho desire of tho prosecution to slaugh
ter me and let my co defendants off with
milder punishment, was qalte apparent and
manifest. It seemed to me, and to a great
many others, that the proseoution would be
satisfied with one life. State’s Attorney
Grinntll, in his argument, intimated this
very plainly. I one not to protest mv in

leaving the tact that I never have belonged
to any kind of cvnspiraey out of the ques
tion altogether. If aactifleeof life theremust
be, will not my life enfflot? The State’s
attorney of Cook county asked for no more.
Take this, then—take my life. I offer it fo
you that yon may satisfy tho fury of the
semi-barbstio mob and save those of
my comrades. I know that every one of
my comrades is as willing to die aa—and
; lerhaps more so than—I am. It la not for
hat I make this proffer, but

In tbe name of tbe traditions of onr conn

grocers, reported ts failed list night, are
vorionsly stated at from $30,000 to 350,000,
with assets ot abont $35,(00.
The cause assigned is that cotton went
higher than they tgreed to deliver at and
they have lost money right along.
The strain of the last few days was too
great, and so they went under. Mr. Fletoh-
