AN' ARCUISTIC NECKS IN DANGER.
Chicago, Juiy '2l. in yesterday’s pro
ceedings in the trial of the Anarchists the
evidence tendered by the prosecution was
the most important, but at the same time
the least sensational yet offered. This, at
least, is the opinion of State's Attorney
Grinned- The prosecution occupied most
of the forenoon session in proving that
the riot at the McCormick works
May ■'! was instigated by a few Anarchists
led by Spies; that Spies, after inciting that
riot, wrote and circulated inflammatory
and lying accounts of the outbreak, with
intent to incite the working-men of the city
to further riot; tbatit wasin defiance of the
active opposition of the leaders of the
strikers that Spies and bis gang captured
the meeting which immediately preceded
Cue McCormick riot, and incited that meet
ing to attack the non-union working-men;
and, generally, that that riot was directly
the work of the Anarchists in the carrying
out of their plot to sack and plunder the
city, ns described in the testimony of the
witness Moulton the previous day.
The testimony presented in the after
noon clearly proved that Spies was the
writer of the mysterious “Ruhe” notice in
the Arbriter Zeitung, that being the signal
for the opening of the revolution by the
armed forces of the Anarchists; that
Spies and Schwab were directly re
sponsible for the incendiary screeds
in the Arbeiter-Zeitnug; that Spies was the
author of the ‘ Revenge" circular; that
Spies, Neebe and Schwab, directly, and
the other prisoners, indirectly, were re
sponsible for the circulation of mur
derous Anarchistic literature, such
as Herr Most’s ‘Science of Revolu
tionary Warfare;” and that, altogether,
the Hay market riot, the McCormick
riot, the throwing of the bomb, the publi
cation of the Alarm and Arbeiter-Zeitung,
the issuance of incendiary circulars and
proclamations, and the manufacture, stor
age, and distributions of explosives were
all an integral part of a general and pre
meditated plot for the murder or over
throw of the police force and all law-abid
ing citizens, and the seizure of the city by
the Anarchists.
Chicago, Juiv 22. —Only two witnesses
were examined in the Anarchist trial yes
terday—William Seliger and his wife.
Seliger lives in a small house on the rear
of the lot at N* 442 Sedgwick street, and
it was in this house the bombs
were manufactured. The afternoon of
May 4, the date of the explosion,
some forty or fifty bombs were made at
Selfger’s. The prisoner Lingg, who lodged
at Seliger’s, seems to have been the chief
worker, five or six others, of whom Seliger
was one, acting as his assailants. Lingg
had previously practiced making
bombs and casting bomb-shells. For
tubular bombs he used sections of metal
pipe of an inch to one and a half inches
m diameter; for spherical bombs he cast
leaden shells in a cup-shaped mold, melt
ing the lead in a ladle on the kitchen stove.
Small iron bolts and nuts were imbedded
in the dynamite, and each shell sealed
with a fulminating cap and fuse attach
ment. It was unquestionably one of these
bombs that was thrown in the liavmar
ket.
The forty or fifty bombs made that after
noon were packed in a trunk and carried
to No. 5s Clybourn avenue about 3 o’clock
by Lingg and Seliger. Here they were
distributed, tho box being left in a
rear room where each Anarchist could
go in and help himself. Several
conspirators equipped themselves with
bombs, all ot them being at the
same time armed with revolvers and tho
deadly three-sided file-dirks. Lingg and
Seliger aimed themselves like the rest.
The two proceeded to Larrabee street
police station. They consulted on
whether they should immediately throw
bombs at that station or' attack Web
ster avenue station first. Lingg was
eager to begin: Seliger was cowardly
and held Lingg back. Lingg had been de
tailed to attack these stations —to make
such a “disturbance” on the North side
that the police would be prevented from
massing at the West side, where the’prin
cipal disturbances were to bo made. The
two conspirators tramped between the
two stations aud eventually saw
the Larrabee street patrol-wagon load
ed with police starting oil' to the scene
of the Haymarket explosion. Lingg then
excitedly prepared to throw a bomb at the
patrol-wagon, but by a trick of his more
cowardly companion was delayed in his
object until the wagon had driven off in
safety.
The witness acknowledged he was ufraid
of his life, and so had written a letter, the
substance of which was that Schaack had
extorted information from him under
threats, lie swore that this was untrue;
that he had been a voluntary informer,
hopiug to escape by making a
clean breast of all he knew. He had
never been promised immunity for making
the statement. The cross-examination
further showed that Lingg knew before
hand that there would be an explosion at
ihe Haymarket meeting, and was anxious
ly awaiting tidings at the time it occurred.
Ihe witness had been in jail or in hiding
almost all the time since, being afraid of
an attack by one of bis quondam brethren.
beiiger's examination occupied almost
five hours, and then his w ife took the stand
and corroborated the chief facts of his tes
timonv. The on! v new thing in her evi
dence was that Lingg tried to make a hid
ing-place for the bombs within the wall of
his room, and that she prevented him. She
arknowle'dged that she hated the whole
business, and would have been glad to
throw all the bomb-makers into the street
that Tuesday afternoon.
Chicago, July 28. —Yesterday’s evidence
at the Anarchists’ trial very materially
forwarded the case for the State. The pros
ecution occupied the day in producing
proofs of the bloodthirsty mouthing* of
Spies, Parsons, Schwab and Fielden at
the lake-front and other meetings. The
fact that the Arbeiter-Zeituiig office was the
central distributing point of Anaichi* sup
plies. including dynamite, arms and revo
lutionary literature, was further empha
sized by the introduction of the load of
dynamite and other explosive materials
found there.
The first witness yes erday was M. 11.
Williamson, a newspaper reporter, who
testified to the action of the Anarchists on
the occasion of the oj»ening of the new
board of 'trade building. Parsons and
Fielden, speaking from the windows
of the AKbt’ler-Zeitung office, had offered
to lead an attack with bombs and all
other available weapons on the large stores
td the city: Marshall Field's and C. P.
Kellogg’s being mentioned as proper
places Vo begin with. The Board of
Trade was also proposed as an ole
ject of attack, and Board of Trade
men were to be murdered because “they
were the scoundrelly robbers of the work
ing-men and had bunt that edifice from
the earnings of the poor.” Parsons and
Spies showed the witness bombs and dyna
mite in the Arbelter-Zeitimg office.
Tne witness testified to various
meetings where dynamite had been
iireai-hed by Spies. Fielden. Parsons and
Schwab. Parsons explained to the witness
the methods of street warfare with bombs
and boasted of the strength and perfect or
ganization of the Anarchists of the city.
Several witnesses testified to Anarchist
supplies found in the ArbeUer-Zeitung office,
and an expert in the use of explosives
gave testimony as to experiments he made
with the dynamite seized at the office of
the paper, and show ing its powerful char
acter Officer Weinke, who appeared with
a bandaged head, having been shot during
the Haym&rket riot, detailed the substance
of a speech made by Engel one Sun
day afternwon la t February at an open
nuMvUag at iSa 703 Milwaukee avenue.
Engel advised the crowd to save up a -mull
sum, so that each might bo armed with a
throe or four dollar revolver, that kind
‘■being good enough to shoot police w ith.”
John J. Ryan testified to speeches made by
Spies, Parsons, Schwab and Fielden at va
rious times vvuen rifles, pistols and dyna
mite hud been recommended- Parsons
had btated that twenty five cents’ worth
of dynamite would demolish the Pullman
building, and advised that act. Harry
Wilkinson, a reporter, testiliod to stories
told hint by Spies as to the use of bombs
and dynamite, and the condition and
objects of the organization iu the city.
Joe Gruenhut, of the City Health
Department, described at, a Socialist
and writer of Socialistic literature, bad
introduced the witness to Spies, and had
been pro; -mt at the principal inverview.
Spies told what was to be done and Gruen
hut fixed the date it would occur—May 1
or within a few days thereafter, when
many working-men would be idle through
an attempt to enforce Ur- Eight-Hour law.
Chicago, July 24. —Yesterday’s evidence
in the Anarchist triul was largely of a cor
roborative character. First came a burly
saloonkeeper named Hein, whose testi
mony wont to show Neebe’s knowledge of
and partial responsibility for the famous
‘‘Revenge" circular. Gustav Lehman, one
of the Anarchists, described the manufact
ure of tho bombs at Lingg s lodgings and
his visit to Neff's Hall, where they were
distributed. Lingg gave him a small
satchel, containing bombs, fuses and caps;
also a tin box tilled with dynamite.
Witness took the articles home' and hid
them in the woodshed. He became scared
during the night, and got out of lied and
carried the stuff away out on a prairie
where he left it. He afterwards took a de
tective to the spot and it was recovered.
The Carpenter's Union, to which witness
belonged, gave a dance last March, and the
proceeds were taken by IJugg, with the
sanction of the union, and a quantity of
dynamite was purchased. Lehman testi
fied to hearing Engel, in a speech, give in
structions as to how bombs could be easily
and cheaply made.
Several witnesses testified regarding the
Socialistic demonstration at the time the
new Board of Trade building was dedi
cated.
State’s Attorney Grinneli stated that he
would have read the translation of the
platform of the International Working
men's Association and Herr Most’s book,
which had already been placed in evi
dence. Captain Black objected to
the reading. It was finally decided
that the documents might' be pre
sented, and Assistant State’s Attorney
Furthman read in a loud, clear voice the
platform adopted in Pittsburgh and pub
lished in the Arbeiter-Zeitung. The platform
begins with a tirade against the capitalists,
in which they are denounced as the spoils
men of the laborer. The working-men,
it goes on, are forced to com
mit murder and other crimes through
capitalistic oppression. The screed
linally gets down to bus-ines, and says that
the working-men can hope for no arbitra
tion through the ballot or peaceful arbitra
tion. There is but one method—force. It
advises organization and preparation for
the inevitable conflict between capital and
labor, and calls for revolutionary and na
tional activity. It demands the building up
of a free society, founded on a communistic
organization of production, and an organ
ization of the educational system on an
equal basis for both sexes.
Mr. Furthman next began to read Herr
Most’s book, '‘Science of Revolutionary
Warfare.” The translated copy is a
large pamphlet of forty-nine pages, and
the reading occupied the remainder of
the afternoon. The author goes fully into
the use of dynamite, and explains the best
way to explode it. The whole work is writ
ten in that bombastic style for which the
arch Anarchist is noted, and advocates the
killing of tho police by dynamite, gun
powder, the knife or prussic acid, the most
deadly of poisgns.
Cun u;o, July 26.— The developments iu
the Anarchists’ trial Saturday are such as
to considerably darken the hopes of the de
fendants. The prosecution hail reserve ! a
fitting climax to the dramatic evidence of
the week in the testimony of Andrew C.
Johnson, a Pinkerton detective, who hail, in
the pursuit of his calling) joined one of the
groups of Socialists an i drilled with the
artnoh section of the Lehr und Wehr Ve
reiu. llis evidence was of corroborative im
portance in itself, but was of greatest in
terest as indicating that other detectives
had been similarly employed and would
give their testimony in the case. The in
troduction of the witness created a sensa
tion and evidently startled the defendants,
who could illy conceal their di-may. A
gentleman connect d with tDo trial
said yesterday: ’These detectives were
employer! in the spring of 1885 by
Lyman J. Gage, the vice-president of the
First National Bank. lam told however,
that Gage did not do this on his own ac
count. but that a fund of $15.00,1 was raised
for the purpose among the bankers and
wholesale merchants of the city. The
scheme was inaugurated by the Commer
cial t tub. of which Gaue is uresidi lit."
Andrew C. Johnson, a detecive. said he
joined the American grout) of the Inter
national Working-men's Association in
February, 1885. The last meeting he at
tended was in January last. He became
a member of the organization at
the instance of the Pinkerton De
tective Agency, in whose employ he
was. He made written reports of the do
ings at the meetings to his employers.
Heard Parsons make a speech at one of
those gatherings on February 22, 1885. at
Baum's Pavilion, in an aristocratic
portion of the city. Parsons stated that
the reason the meeting had been
called in that locality wus to
give the many merchant princes
whoresided there an opportunity to attend
and hear what the Communists had to soy
about the distribution of wealth and
then he denounced the capitalists in
| general. He said: “1 want you all to
unite together and throw off the yoke.
We need no President, no Congressmen,
no police, no militia and no judges. They
are all leeches, seeking the blood of the
uoor, who have to support them by their
labor. I say to you, rise one and all. and
let us exterminate them. Woe to the po
lice or the militia whom they send against
us.”
Witness inarched in the procession on
the night of the dedication of the new
Board of Trade building, and saw Par
sons, Neebe, Spies and Fieldan marching
iu the line. Continuing, uitV-" said be
was present, with Pursous, iLfiJeii and
other--, at 54 Lake street on Au
gust, 1885. After having been there a
short time a man armed with a
long cavalry sword and dressed in a
blue blouse and wearing a slouch hut came
into the room, and he ordered all those
present to fail in. He 1 hen i-alled off i-er
t«in names und all those present answered
to their names. He then inquired whether
lhe pc were any new members who wished
to join a military company. Witness and
two others joined. Witness was vouched
for by Parsons as being a true man: he
was enrolled as a member and given
number 16. All who were not
members wore then expelled from
the room, and the remainder fell
into tine, and were then drillei for about
half an hour or three-quarters—put through
a regular manual drill, marching, counter
marching, turning, forming fours, wheel
ing. by the man armed with the
sword. The drill-master left the hall, but
in a few minutes returned with ten other
men dressed like himself, and introduced
them as the first company of the Lehr un 1
Wehr Vereiu. They were armed with
Springfield rifles. Presently a man whose
name witness did not know, who was
then employed bv the proprietor of
the saloon at No. 54 AVest Lake
street, came into the room with two
tin boxes, w'hieh he placed on the table at
the south end of the room. The drilling
instructor then asked all those present to
step up aud examine the two tin b ixes as
they were the latest improved dvnarnite
bombs. The armed section met again on
the following Monday, August 31. The
Captain. Walters, drilled the company for
about one hour am) a half, and after
ward a consultation was held among all
members of the company as to the best
way of procuring arms. Some one sug
gested that each one should pay so much a
week until a sufficient amount had been
raised wherewith to purcha.se a rifle for
each member of the company. The de
fendant Parsons then made a suggestion.
Lie said: “Look here, boys, why can’t we
make a raid some night on the militia
armory? There are only two or throe men
on guard there and it is easily done.” This
suggestion seemed to be favored by other
members, and some more discussion took
plat e and it was finally decided to put the
matter of the raid off until the nights got
a little ionger.
At ami eting held January 2fi, ISSti, wit
ness overheard a conversation between
Spies and Fielden, before the meeting was
called to order, in which the former said in
a tone of voice apparently not meant for
any one eise's ears; “Don’t say very much
about that article iH the Daily
Nem. You simply need to state that,
a reporter of the Daily Xem bad
an interview with me some days ago,
but that most of the statements in the pa
pers ate mostly lies.” Spies further said:
“You must be careful in your remarks.
You don't know who might be among us
to-night.” Spies then went away and the
meeting was called to order.
Fielden made a long statement com
menting upon an article which had ap
peared ill the Daily New. He said: *• The
most of the statements are lies. Mr. Spies
did have an interview with a reporter
some days ago, but the most of
the assertions brought forth iu
the paper are not true.” He fur
ther said as regards the dynamite bombs:
“It is quite true we have lots of dynamite
and explosives in our possession, and we
will not hesitate to use them when the
proper time comes.” Witness said he had
recently met and recognized several Pink
erton men whom be had seen formerly in
attendance on the meetings, and whom he
thought were members.
Witness said that at the first meeting of
the armed section the discussion arose as
to what the section should be called—
what the armed section should be called.
Some one suggested that the com
pany should be amalgamated with
the German organization, and
the company was to be called
the fourth company of the Lehr und Webr
Verein. This idea was opposed by others,
and finally the company was called the In
ternational rifles. In case of aconflict with
the authorities the International rifles were
to act in concert with the Lehr und Wehr
Verein and obey the commander of that or
ganization
Witness also stated that at a meeting in
December last Fielden said regarding the
time the revolution should take place: “The
Ist of May will be our time to strike the
blow. There will be so many strikes and
there will be 50,000 men out of work—that
is to say—if the eight-hour movement is a
failure.”
THOUSANDS DYING.
Terrible Sin fie ring Among the Starving
F sliertnen in Newfoundland.
Ottawa, Out., July 2 1. —Hon. A. F.
Widell, of Newfoundland, arrived here Fri
day evening to interview the Dominion
Government and ask that they give aid to
fishermen along thecoasbof Newfoundland
and Labrador. He tells a tale
of horror that would make the heart
bleed. The fishermen, owing to the scar
city of the catch through t ho ice not break
ing up, are literally starving to death.
The Government of the island havestepped
in and are doing what they can to help,
but are not able to cotpe with the large
number of cases which must have imme
diate assistance. Altogether 150 people
ha ve died of starvation, and 2,500 are on
the verge of death for want of food. In
one settlement of forty'-two, twenty-four
died during the month of June. In an
other settlement of fifty-three eleven
died, while in yet another settlement
of seventy-two twelve succumbed for
want of bread. The description given by
Widell is heartrending and agonizing in
the extreme. These poor people in their
poverty cling with bitter tenacity to their
native island, and will not go elsewhere to
obtain work. As yet there are no signs of
the ice breaking up. and winter again sets
In in October. It is doubtful, however, if
Ihe Government will agree to give actual
aid, but it will certainly give steamers to
convey food to the distressed, and al o
will take any of the sufferersto the Domin
ion, where they can secure abundance of
work. Whatever is done must he done
quickly, or the loss of life through sheer
hunger will be great.
A DARING FEAT.
A New York Newsboy, on a Wilder of
UIOO, Leaps from the Brooklyn Bridge
ami Is Luliarraed. %
New Yoke, July 24.—Stenhen Brodie
jumped from the Brooklyn bridge yester
day afternoon into the Last, river. Short
ly after two o'clock a lumber wagugi was
noticed passing over the bridge two
men riding in it. Something in the air <A
one of the men attracted the notin
of a police officer, and he watch
the wagon as it went on. When
about one hundred feet east of the
New York tower, and near the third lamp
post one of the men stood up and took
his coat off. He looked around, and care
lessly said to the driver: “Well, here goes
for luck.’ lie stepped from the wagon to
the rail, and without hesitating a second
tumped off. I.css than twenty people were
near at the time. The man fell down
straight to the water, 120 feet below,
striking in a bunch, but with his feet first.
He sank from sight and reappeared a mo
ment later with both hands at his chest as
if in pain. A skiff, which was hovering
near with some men in it, rapidly came up
add took the man in. The boat was pulled
to the foot of Dover street and lauded.
In the meantime three police officers of
the bridge squad had run around and
down to the pier. They arrested the man
and took him to the Oak street station.
He did not seem to be much injured by his
terrible fall and walked along without any
assistance, followed by a mob of cheering
boys and men. The leap was the result of
a SIOO wager.

Is it Really Consumption?
Many a case supposed to be radical lung
disease is really one of liver complaint and
indigestion, but, unless that diseased
liver can be restored to healthy action, it
will so clog tho lungs with corrupting mat
ter as to bring ou their speedy decay, and
then indeed we have consumption, which
is scrofula of the lungs, in its worst form.

Smitl’s Tonic
FOR THE CURE OF
FEVER and ACUL
Or CHILLS and FEVER,
AND ALL MALARIAL DISEASES-
Tho proprietor of tikis celebrated medicine
justly claims for it a superiority over all rem
edies ever offered to the public for the SAFE,
CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT cure
of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, wheth
er of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to cure if
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out In a great many cases a single dose has
been sufficient for a cure, and whole families
have been cured by a single bottle, With a per
fect restoration of the general health. It is,
however, prudent and in every case nX'ne cer
tain to cure, if its use is continued in swlle*
doses for a week or two after the diseasd .has
been checked, moro especially in difficult ax d
long-standing Cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order. Should the patient, however, re
quire a cathartic medicine, after having taken
three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dos®
of KENT’S VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will
bs sufficient. USE no other pill.
Price, $l.OO per Bottle; Six Bottles for $5.
