ANARCHIST PLOT.
Chicago Police Find a Nest
of Dynamite Bombs.
THREE ANARCHISTS ARRESTEO.
An Alleged Conspiracy to lllow np tlio Rt h.
ldenceaof Gary, Grlunell and Others
to Avengo the Dentil of Their
Leaders.
Chicago, July 17.—In a small frame
home In the vicinity of Ashland avenue and
Thirty-second street were found twelve dyna
mite bombs, a revolver and a knife, and us
the owner of the articles stepped to the side
walk he was arrested by Inspector Bonfield
in person and taken to a police station. Two
other arrests were made later. When ques
tioned as to what the prisoners intended to
do Inspector Bonfield confined himself
saying, ‘‘There was a conspiracy of long
standing and It was about to be put into
execution. They intended to use the dyna
mite on Judge Gary, Judge Grinnell and
“^'he^chief prisoner is an old time Anar
chist and was prominent in the scene of the
Havmarket time. Before making the first
arrest Bonfield had the house surrounded
bvfive picked officers. Just as daylight
was breaking the inspector was joined in the
vicinity by a stranger and a few minutes
la*er a man emerged from the house. The
stranger nudged Bonfield and an order was
given to the officers, who closed in on the
inan. He made a desperate fight, but was
ouickly overpowered and placed in charge
of two of the officers. Bonfield and the
officers then rushed into the house. They
were met on the stairs by a woman, the wife
of the man who had been captured, but she
1,rushed aside and the police, guided by
the stranger, entered the hall bed room,
where, hidden in a corner, the inspector
found an even doxen dynamite cartridges
wrapped in brown paper. Further search
of the room disclosed a large revolver and «
dagger. Some letters and other papers,
which were also taken care of by the police,
were found. Then a patrol wagon was called
and the prisoner was taken to the station.
The officers next went to a house some
distance away, which, it is supposed, was
3 016 Quinn street. Here two other arrests
were made and all three taken to the Cen
tral station. .... ,,
Inspector Bonfield is reported to have said
the plot was a well arranged one. About
twenty determined murderers were in con
spiracy, and they were at a certain houi
after midnight to be at the homes of Grin
ned, Gary, Bonfield, Frank Walker, Gen
eral Stiles and others prominent in the pros
ecution of the Anarchists. The dynamite
was to be placed beneath the houses of
these and the powerful explosives were to
be touched off simultaneously. The Board
of Trade was to be blown to the sky and
wholesale reign of terror inaugurated.
HOW TUB WAS UISCOVKUF.il.
About ten days ago a prominent Bohemian
called on Inspector Bonfield and informed
him that a plot was on foot, the object of
wbieh was to avenge Spies, Parson, et al, by
blowing np with dynamite the house of
Judge Grintiell, who was State’s attorney
whan the anarchists were tried. Judge
C?ary was the presiding judge, and his resi-

partment Horse.
^ i the presiding Judge,
dence and that of Boaneld, who had been
the prime mover of the arrests and who fur
nished most of the evidence which brought
four of the principals to the gallows, forced
another to a suietde’a grave and sent three
others to Joliet. The Inspector was not
slow in actiog on the tip thus given and by
careful shadowing and skilled detective
work succeeded m weaving a web, as ho
claims, of incontestable facts about three
men and arresting them this morning.
The name of the ring-leader Is John II
Koneck, and he lives at 2,951 Farrel street.
He it a Bohemian and a ciibin- t nunn& HJ
trade. Another man it Frank Chapeck
who lives st IS West Twentieth street. lit
is also a Bohemian. The third man, , whose
name isIYank Cbebaw, a mum, living !b
Secou 1‘iace, and who is the informer who
told the story of the plot to the Bohemian,
who in turn detailed it to Inspector Bon
field.
It seems that since the execution a move
ment was started among the followers of rev
olution and chaos in Chicago by which the
groups which disbanded almost as soon as
the flaynurket bomb burst, were to be re-
orgaaiaed it appears, to do the bnsiness,
sad it was thought dangerous in the light
of put events to have, these groups eom-
posed of en unlimited number, because it
would increase the possibility of informers
making their appearance when ailence was
very golden. It was concluded that each
group as organized, was to have no more
than three members, with each well ac
quainted with the others who composed the
group. It it thought that "squealing" in
the Anarchist ranks would become a lost
•ft. The men arrested to-day constitute a
group, and in the hands of these wu left
the dynamite, by whom it is not yet known
THE PLOT.
The group had no regular meeting place
where plans could be discussed, but they
met occasionally as friends and oyer aglau
vt beer concocted their bold and bloody

Some time ago Mike, one oi the best of
the fire department horses became some
what under the weather, and in order to
recuperate, he was sent out a few miles in
the country to Mr. E. R. Price’s place to
browse upon the Bermuda fields and fol
low his own sweet will.
About the time Mike had recuperated
his health and was ready to be sent back
to town, Bill, one of the negro hands on
the place took up an idea that he would
like to see what a great big strappii
horse could do with a plow, and he hitchi._
him np to a plow. The plowing business
was an entirely new thing to Mike and
did not suit him. He had been used to
jumping off at the tap of the gong and
being hitched up in a hurry and i hen
pulling a heavy truck or engine along
the streets j but here he was with a meas
ly old plow attached to him with a plain
every day negro to drive him, and he paid
no more attention to the plow or the negro
than he would to a July fly. The negro
geedand hawed and ripped and snorted
and used all the plantation terms of coax
ing and urging he could think of, but it
was all the same to Mike ana he took his
time about going over the field. The ex
periment was a dead failure.
ATLANTA ADVICES.
Death of Capt. John Keely
from Blood Poisoning.
THE PRESBYTERIAN COMMISSION.
Its Action Yesterday—Wild Rumors of
Deaths—Councilman Iloutell Acting
Mayor—Flag of tho Seventh
Georgia Regiment.
Tho other day, so they tell it, Bill came
in town and while relating his troubles to
Taylor Gibson and the boys at the hook
ana ladder house, he was told tliaj if he
would attach a gong to the plow and tap
it Mike would increase his speed. Now,
it happened that there was a gong on a
milk wagon on the place, and this was se
curely fixed on one side of the plow stock.
The next morning bright and early Bill
hitched up Mike and when all was in
readiness he gave a tap to the gong, and
then, great Scott! how Mike lunged for-
•a. All he thouglit’of at that instant
was a house on fire and that he must beat
the other engines there. He imagined
that he could hear the clanging o! the
bells, the hustling and yelling of
tho boys and feel a hooray
and hurry in the air. Those
who watched the proceedings say that all
that could be seen was Mike’s head and
shoulders reaching out of a cloud of dust
that was going across the field at a limited
express rate of speed. The negro became
tangled np in the lines and was being
dragged and killed by incites, and the
plow having turned over on the side on
which the gong had been attached, caused
it to strike at intervals sufficient to keep
Mike going at full speed and evidently
wondering where the deuce the fire was
anyhow. He ran until he was completely
fagged out and then stopped, and, pricking
up his ears, seemed to listen for Chief
Jones to order another man up the ladder
or call for more hose.
By the time Bill had regained con
sciousness and after disentangling himself
from the lines and feeling to see if he was
all there, he first uttered a thanksgiving
prayer that he was stiii aiive. The entire
field was covered by clouds of dust, and it
wu a long time before he could study out
in what part of the world he was located.
It seemed to him that Mike had carried
him far enough to have landed him in
Fort Valley. ' ’’
The pieces of. the plow were picked up
and Mike wu led to the lot, and word sent
to Mr. Price that the horse was ready to
go back to town. Bill is of tho opinion
that when once a horse is trained for the
fire department he is wholly unfit for any
thing else.
Mr. Scott Downs Mr. Kelley.
From the New York Times.
The vencrablo Mr. Kelley fared badly
at the hands of Mr. Scott when the latter
gentleman, on Saturday, corrected Mr.
Kelley’s corrections of statements made in
Mr. Scott’s tariff speech .concerning the
prufits of unprotected manufacturers. The
vital point was that Mr. Kelley denied
that it was true that Mr. Andrew Carnegie
had received u much as $1,600,000 ns his
share of the profits of the Edgar Thomson
Steel Works for one year. Upon th is point
Mr. Scott was able to present the testi
mony of Mr. Carnegie himself, given in
the comse of a conversation in the room
of the ways and means committee. Here
is Mr. Scott’s statement:
“I answered that I had stated he had
drawn out of the Edgar Thomson steel
works as his share of the profits during
i year as high as* $1,500,000, or
equivalent of $5,000 a day lor 800 days.
He promptly replied that that was correct
and that lie did not deny it. But he said:
‘You mav not, perhaps, be aware that in
that year ! gave to the city of Pittsburg
the sum of $600,000 for a library, and to
the city of Allegheny $500,000.’ These are
the figures u I recall them.”
Upon this Mr. Scott, of course, made
the obvious comment that "where a sys
tem of bad and vicious laws enabled a
man to accumulate $1,600,000 in one year
out of any industry of tho country u his
share alone of the profits of his com-
>any he might well afford to
>e liberal with his gains to
lopularize a policy that makes it possible
or him to make in one year so large a
sum of money,” wlieieupon Mr. Carnegie
remarked: “On, you’re a freetrader.”
From the protectionist point of view this
is always a complete and crushing an
swer. But it may well be doubted whether
it justifies the policy of taking money from
the farmers of Minnesota, Iowa and Wis
consin andeverv other State n the Union
to enable Mr.' Carnegie to catry out his
benevolent intentions. toward Pittsburg,
Allegheny City, and himself.
Cheaper Clothes.
From the New York Evening World.
All Woihlug people of Nee Yolk, el
ever their politics, are entitled to and are
interested tn getting cheaper and better
clothing, carpets and blankets.
To increase by 67 per cent, the cost of
these necessities by a tax that is not need
ed for the support of the government is a
robbery of the poor.
The vote for free wool in the House is a
step toward improving the quality and
lessening the cost of clothing. It is hon
estly believed by many able economists
that free wool would also benefit the far
mers, as it certainly would the manufac
turers. ,
In reducing useless taxes, those on ne-
ssities should be the first to go.
A Wealthy Editor's Misfortune.
From the Boston ileretd. •
Tbe number of newspaper editors in thin
country who would be out of pocket $250,-
000 by the burning of their summer resi
dence U comparatively small, unfortu
nately, lint it is gratifying to lie assured
that these few are able to bear np under
such a misfortune with fortitude and res
ignation. This is the frame of mind in
which Editor Whitelaw Reid finds him
self after the burning of 'his magnificent
summer residence the other day. Never
theless, we beg to extend the customary
assurances.
Captain John Keely, well known all
over the State as one of Atlanta’s most
successful and valuable citizens, died at
his home about 12 o’clock last Wednesday.
No death that has occurred in Atlanta in
many years has been received with more
general regret. He was known to all cir
cles as one of her most enterprising citi
zens, and his i?opularity was great atnoDg
all classes.
The deceased has been confined to his
room for ten days, suffering from a wound
in his leg received during the war. Two
weeks ago this wound commenced to give
him unusual trouble. He called in his
physician and had his wound attended to
but got no relief. Blood poison set in, and
within the last few days his condition has,
been regarded as critical.
Last night he was considered very low,
and this morning ho was reported to be
dying. About noon the announcement of
his death was officially m:i-l.- I.v iiu-mlit-rs
of bis family, and many were the expres
sions of regret heard upon all sides as the
report of his demise gained circulation.
HIS PAST LIKE.
The deceated was fifty years of age. He
was a native of Ireland and came to this
country from Dublin early in life. Upon
coming to America he landed in Canada
where lie remained a few years, and then
came to Atlanta, where he lias since lived.
Captain Keely commenced life as a dry
f oods clerk in '.he store of Shaw & Co., in
lublin, and until a year ago was engaged
in that business. He came to Atlanta in
1868 and secured employment in the dry
goods house of Ryan & Meyers. Later he
was headclerk for John Gannon, where he
remained until Mr. Gannon failed in busi
ness. Capt. Keely purchased the Gannon
stock of goods and commei ced business on
his own account. When the war broke
out Captain J. H. Neal organized a com
pany called the Jackson Guards, of which
Capt. Keely was elected first lieutenant.
This company served during the war f>« a
portion of the Nineteenth Georgia regi
ment in General Colquitt’s brigade. Dur
ing the last year of the war, in a battle
near Weldon, N. C., he .was wounded in
the leg, and from tho effects of the wound
he died.
Since the close of the war Captain Keely
has been doing business on Whitehall
street, first as a clerk and then os the head
of the retail dry goods house of John
Keely.
About a year ago Capt. Keely retired
from business, selling put his entire stock
and his good will, which, in itself, was a
good deal owing to his great popularity,
lie then engaged in the banking business
they will bow humbly to this decree from
above.
Resolved, also. That a copy of these res
olutions be published in tlie city papers
and the Macon Telegraph and that an
additional copy be engrossed for the family
of the deceased.
It was determined that the dry goods
stores of Atlanta lie draped for five days.
WHY THE HILL WILL PASS.
with the Neil Loan and Banking Com
pany. This enterprise was named after
Jhon Neil, his father-in-law, who died
about two years ago. Thos. B. Neil was
elected president, and Capt. John Keely
vice-president. The deceased was known
as one of Atlanta’s most wealthy citizens.
It is said that when he sold out his dry
goods house he pocketed $100,000, besides
which he had n large income from real es
tate, which lie has accumulated from time
to timo since the war.
While at all times evincing much inter
est in Atlanta’s prosperity, and entering
into every movement that was calculated
to be of benefit to Atlanta and his lellow-
citizens, lie paid little attention to poli
tics. He was frequently urged for posi
tion* of honor and tril-t, but only mice did
he give his consent, upon which occasion
lie wus elected a member of council. Capt.
Keely was a member of |Gov. Gordon’s
staff, holding tho title of Licutenat-Col-
one). He occupied similar positions on
the staffs of Governors Colquitt, Stephens
and Boynton. To-day Adjularit-Geriefal
Kell notified the members of Gov. Gor
don’s staff of Capt. Keely’s death, and
asked them to attend the funeral. Soon
after the announcement tof Capt. Keely’s
death to-day, all of the dry goods stores of
the city, and many other business houses
engaged in other trades, draped their
fronts in black and white as a mark.of re
spect to tbe deceased. The merchants,while
engaged in paying this tribute to tbe dead
man, also expressed a determination to
attend the funeral in a body, closing up
their stores and suspending business to
morrow.
ACTION OF MERCHANTS.
This afternoon at 2 o'clock the retai
Representative Breckinridge Enumerates
Several Kensuus.
From tho Washington Post.
“Several months ago," said Represents'
tive Breckinridge to a Post reporter yester
day, ‘ Mr. McMillin and myself made up
our minds that a tariff bill would be passed
at this session, and I am convinced now
that our propliecv is about to be fulfilled.
Recently I said that the bill would pass on
or before the 25th of July, and I think
that date will lie nearly correct. I have
never wavered in my belief that the bill
would pass. There is opportunity, 'of
course, for filibustering when the bill
comes into the House, but I do not antici
pate auy trouble of that character.”
“But'tiie bill could never be passed if
the Republican Representatives did not
realize thnt whatever was done in the
House would never become legislation as
long as the Senate had the power to pass a
substitute?" suggested the reporter.
Mr. Breckinridge did not reply specifi
cally. “The passage of the tariff bill will
be due to several concomitant reasons,” he
said. “First, the President’s message,
which made a determined effort to reform
the tariff possible, and second, tbe con
stantly increasing surplus and the impos
sibility of calling in any more bonds. If
Secretary Sherman had made tbe fours and
fours-and-a-halfs available, this could have
been used as an argument against the ne
cessity of touching the tariff. Another
reason is that a largo number ,-.t (he man
ufacturers, who have been forced to make
an outward show of disapprobation have
quietly 6ent letters to their representatives
here telling them to vo'e for the bill. You
must remember that an immense number
of manufacturers will be benefited by
placing the raw material on the free
list. Take undressed hides, for instance.
This article was placed on the free list
in 1872, ami since then the exports of
manufactured leather have increased to a
large extent. Yet the Republicans want
to put a high rate of duty on hides,
amounting on the total importations to
$1,700,000. This would be a direct tax on
the manufacturer.”
“When will tho wool debate close?”
“It will not last long. A great many
members want to make some campaign
speeches, and this is • a good occasion for
them.”
Speaking of a. test vote on the wool
question, Mr. Breckinridge said: “The
only opportunity will come on a motion to
strike out the three lines relating to wool
on the free list. This will he a vote by
division ana teiiers and not an aye and ito
vote. Wo have no doubt of our ability to
preserve the bill without change.”

JUDGK UNDERWOOD DEAD,
lie Drops Llfoless in a Store at Rome—
:nts Pant Life.
Rome, July IS.—Judge W. H. Under
wood, ex-member of Congress atad member
of the tariff commission appointed by
President Arthur, dropped dead here this
morning of heart disease. He haves a
wife, four daughters ar.d one son.
' Judge Underwood had longhnsnan 00-
tive and conspicuous man in the politics
of Qeorgiu, as a lawyer and judge. He
was a member from Floyd in tnc Legi Ia-
ture of 1867-8, and was elected Speaker of
the House of Representatives. He was
elected to Congress in 1859, and withdrew
with the other Georgia members when the
State seceded in 1 61. Ho was elected
judge of the Rome circuit in 1878. under
the new constitution of 1877. His last
official position was as one of the tariff
commission.nppointcd bv President Ar
thur, since which time he had been en
gaged in the practice of his profession up
othe time of his death.
Judge Underwood was an able lawyer
and always commanded a good practice.
His voice was ever raised in behalf of
morality and good government, and he oc
cupied a commanding position in society
at all times. His health had been feeble
for several years. About three years ago
he had a protracted spell of sickness which,
for some time, it was teared would end
fatally. He recovered from it sufficiently
to resume business, but had been feeble
ever since the attack.
He was a man who leaves his mark’in
the history of the State, especially that of
Cherokee, Georgia, and his death creates a
vacuum which will not easily bt filled.
How She 5Vns Consoled.
From tbe Dawson News.
Capt. \V. U. Oxford, of this county, is
the owner of a fine jersey cow, and her
strong attachment for her calf surns..—
anything we have ever heard of. Her calf
was about six weeks old and died, und the
Captain, of course, had the calf skinned.
Tlie cow refused to be consoled, and also
refused to be milked. The Captain very
loth to give up and loose the milk from
his fine Jersey, mentioned tiiecircumstance
to one of his m ighkors, who advised hint
to place the hide of the calf where the cow
could smell and caress it snd he would
then succeed in milking the cow. He did
as directed and the cow is satisfied, nnd
the Captain gets his four gallons of milk
everyday. Whenever she is brought out
of her stall for milking lie places tile calf
hide where the cow can lick it. She
stands very quiet, licking and caressing
the hide until tlie milking is done. She
will low for the hide andsto all appear
ance lias as much affection for tlie skin as
she would hare for the calf if alive.
A Vein ot Glass.
L the Butler Herald.
Mr. Frank Waters, brought to our office
last weckAeyeral peculiar pieces of- gloss
found by hi; ;o 2 Leonard, in digging a
w*’’no iritis residence thirty-seven feet
b.ueiitiutjio surface of the earth. The
piecesqfglass were nearly round, and ap
peared to have been plaited. The center
of the glass was hollow, of a very rough
surface, and every indication appeared
that tho sand had melted and turned into
glass (rom internal heat. Mr. Waters took
out about eighteen inches of tho glass,’and
from all indications there appeared to have
been-a vein .running through the earth.
Tho earth did net appear unnaturally
warm where tbe gloss was discovered but
there certainly must havebcen an immense
heat in the earth some, time in the past to
have melted the sand into glass.
Tim Strain,liIp-Suit.I4y Grab.
From the Norfolk Herald.
The House of Representatives does wel
to hold out against the Senate’s deman
that $800,000 shall be added to the pot
office appropriation bill to overpay Amer
ican steamship lines forcarrying the mails
The Post-office Department is opposed to
tho measure, for the reason that it can
secure a quicker mail service through be
ing left free to act for itself and not con
fined to any particular line of vessels.
Subsidies will be detrimental to our
shipping rather than ail aid to i . Their
effect will be to give one company the
monopoly to its objective port. Tho pro
posed appropriation would not start asin-
gio new line. It goes for extra remunera
tion to existing companies and helps them
to keep down home competition. Where
there is no lack of vessels seeking business
and ready to make cheap contracts to go
to any part of the world it is a Waste of
money to subsi dze. It makes the com
merce coat more than it is worth.
The hi.tory of subsidies in this country
is one of corruption. The principal bene
ficiary under this $Shn.00O amendment
some years ago spent $760,1.00 iu Washing
ton in one winter to secure legislation fa
vorable to itself. During tlie last Con
gress certain steamship lines refused to
carry the mails if they were not subsidized.
The Postmaster-General had no trouble in
makiig new arrangements, but the com
panies in question soon came begging for
the mails again at tbe old rates. A sim
ilar threat was uttered in the House the
other day by Mr. Felton, but the other
event is too recent to permit it to have any
force.
Let tlie House adhere to its position.
Tlie nation has had enough of tho subsidy
business.
The Froe Whisky Question.
From the Xow York World.
Mr. Miller, commissioner of interna!
revenue, tells tlie World that the proiioti-
tion of tbe Republican platform to abolish
the tax on Hlcohol used in the arts and
manufactures is imprarticabUC It would
open the do.:r to tho perpet at ion of gross
frands which th - government would be
powerless to prevent.
Congressman Mills confirms this opin
ion, ami says that a most thorough and
careful investigation of the subject threo
years ago, when such a proposition was
contemplated in connection with the Mor
rison bill, convinced the committee of
ways and means that it was impracticable
to touch the whisky tax without abolish
ing it altogether- This is common sense.
The proposition to abolish the whisky
tax in part is a sham. At most the amount
of the alcohol tax on that portion used in
arts and manufactures would be $28,000,-
000. This, with $30,000,000 tobacco tax,
would reduce tlie revenue or ly $63,000,000
when the surplus accumulation is about '
$140,000,000. What tho extreme tariff-
E rotectioniats mean is to abolish the whis- ’
y tax altogether and this, with the tobac
co tax, tswiitu iu 3117.000,000.
Tbe plain question is whether the'peri-
pie war.l to see the unnecessary and unjustr 1 '
taxation now exacted of them relieved in' .
this direotion,or whether they would pre-
fer III have tlie war-tarill t in - r.-.l-u-. d on '
