Chief #r rklrac* AaarehMa. Mr*. Frank Hill Arrcwted. Michael Schwab, his associate editor, was abook-binderand increased hisknowledge by private study. His wife is also au Anarchist. He is a long, bony, ugly fellow aged :I6, and personally as harmless aa * child. He and Spies secured the arming of their followers with Winchester rifles. August Spies, the editor of the Arbeiter- ZeiluHff, is about 33 yean old, gentlemanly in appearance, wears good clothes and occupies his leisure in studios. He came to this country seventeen years ago and became a saddler, but soon threw up this honest occupation and tramped for years through the West and Southwest. In 1879 he returned to Chicago and became the leader of the Socialist party, which waa taking a large part in local politics. 'When Spies became business manager of the Arbeittr-Zeitvng the Socialists grew in power and elected four City Councilman. Spies succeeded in getting the management of the Arbeiter-Zeitung in his own bands and the paper became the organ of the anarahists, thereupon losing its circulation rapidly. Spies and Herr Most hare been in constant corrHpoiideuco. Spies is personally so mild a man that be cannot see blood without being sickened and made faint. His animosity to the police dates from the killing of his brother, "Billy the Kid," by a policemen while resisting arrest and all his incendiary talk is aimed to glot a private grudge. THOS. J. STEWART, Asst. Adjutant General. a'l rally for muster to-day, Come, with oblations ot reverent love, With beautiful flowers. To honor the brave who lie Peacefully sleeping around us," By-command of Department Commander, J. P. 8. Gobix. Regard oar every grave as a mausoleum before which future generations will stand with uncovered heads. The individual soldier who sleeps within, however humble his sphere in iife, represents the gran dest principle for which battles were fought since the world began. The maintenance of that piinciple in all its purity is the assurance of the perpetuity of the Republic. The Union, which wa* the gift of the soldier to the citizen, should be the insp iration of the citizen to do honor to the soldier.II. The fitting observance of the day and of the ceremonies which hallow it, intensify In interest as the graves increase and the years multiply which separate us from the scenes which made the lives of onr comrades memorable. The fairest offerings of this bright spring time, we will again bring.to their last resting pi aces, to testify to the nobility of loveand affection they deserve at our hands. From the outporing of grateful hearts, we select the words most fitting to tell the story of their lives, that posterity may read in their deaths the true virtue of loyalty to flag and country. In a land for which, as citizen soldiers, they offered their lives that it might forever exist as the home of liberty and freedom, we canuot render them too mnch homage. RDQ'RS Dept. of PEJW'a. G. A.

Ho denies that he with Roger O'Mara, by intimidation, executed a deed without any legal or lawful consideration to Roger O'Mara, us charged, and for further answer avers that the plaintill voluntarily requested the absolute ownership of the real estate to be transferred and vested in the defendant. That at lier request the plaintill'voluntarily singed the deed. Hill denies, too, that he was present when the deed was singed. Hill denies that, he, with linger O'Mara, had her sell at a sacrifice fifty shares of the People's National Bank and deliver the proceeds, $0, 000, to them and abers that the transactions were all legal. GRKKNsnup.it, Pa., May (i.-Mrs. Frank E. Hill, who eloped with Lawyer tMarchand, was arrested here this morning. Mrs. Hill arrived last night on the Fast Line, and wasdriveu to the house of her father where she was arrested by Olllcer Alcorn her father going on her bond for the requisite amount. Her hearing is set for next Thursday. The charge is adultery. A young woman named Mary Wilhart, together with J. Thornton Marchaml, are also charged by Frank E. Hill with, conspiring to aid and abet Mis. Hill in her eloping from her lawful husband to lire with Marchand. "Our organization," he continued, "has no antagonism with necessary capital, ami it is the doty of every Knight of Labor to support the laws made to harmonize the interests of capital and labor. There is not a trades union in America that will countenance wrongdoing or uphold those men in Chicago who have been engaged in the destruction of life and property. The aim of the trades unions is to uphold and dignify labor, while the Anarchists try to tear it down and degrade it. The Anarchist is un-American and it has 110 business in this couutry," He added that it is the duty of every organization of workingmen in America to condemn the outrages committed in Chicago in the name of labor, and said the had a more powerful weapon than the bullet in the ballot; that none of the anarchist leaders are Knights of Labor and tliat if any Knights have taken part in the murderous proceedings reported they shall be promptly expelled from the order. Scrantox, Pa., May 5.—General Muster Workman Powderly vigorously denounc es the Chicago Anarchists and their desperate work. Iu the course of an interview this evening he said : "The scenes of bloodshed and disorder which have occured in Chicago are disgraceful, uncalled for and deserving of the severert condemnation and punishment. Honest labor is not represented in the ranks of those who are iu themselves under the red flag of anarchy, which is the emblem of blood and destruction."Within half a block of the speakers stand could be seen four patrol wagons with horses ready haruesgsed, and about 200 policemeu armed with clubs and revolvers. The crowd kept dwindling away until not more than 1,000 persons were present. To prevent this other Socialist speakers lashed themselves into a perfect fury, and their utterances became of a most inflammatory character. The police decided to put an end to the disturbance, and during the progress of a speech of one of the Socialists a squad of officers marched by close to the staud. At first the Socialists fell back slowly, one of the speakers still urging them to stand tirui. Than some one of the anarchists shouted:— "Kill the ." Almost as soon as the words had been uttered, three bombs were thrown from near the stand into the midst of the squad of officers. They exploded instantly, and five policemen fell. Others were wounded, and several of the Socialists did not escape. The police retorted instantly with a volley from their revolvers. The rioters answered with theirs, and the sequel showed,they were well provided with them. The mob appeared crazed with a frantic desire for blood, and, holding its ground, poured volley after volley in '.o the midst of the officers. The latter fought gallantly, and at last dispersed the mob and cleared the market-place. They are now guarding every approach to the place, and no one is allowed there. Immediately after the first explosion the officers who were left standing drew their revolvers and fired round after round into the mob. Large numbers of these fell, and as they dropped were immediately carried to the rear and into the many dark alleyways by their friends. No estimate of the casualties can be given, but the police at the Desplaines street station Btate that fully fifty of them were wounded. The drugstores in the vicinity are crowded with people who are hurt, and doctors have been telephoned to in all directions. Before the firing had ceased the neighboring police stations were turnert into temporary hospitals. Chicago, May 4.—Great were the expectations of the Socialist leader* regarding the meeting they had called for to-night. As early aa 7:30 had been mentioned as the hour when the speaking and excitement would begin. The place chosen was the old Hay Market on Randolph'street, capable of holding from 15,000 to 20,000 men. Tooching the square at one corner is Halstad street, the ontlet to the lumber yards, paoking-honses, and to factories such as McCormick's. In close proximity to the opposite side of the Hay Market is Milwaukee avenne, leading through a widespreading district, densely populated with Germans and Poles. Surrounding the square on every hand are lOcent lodginghouses, cheap saloons, and many of the loweKt dires in the city. A tour around the market about 8 p. m. showed that the scattered groups of men loitering in the vicinity would make a crowd numbering not to exceed 1,500. From their chance remarks and unkempt appearance it was easy to determine that they were anarchists of the most approved type. Nevertheless a quieter gathering could hardly be imagined. Passers-by who inquired the occasion for the meeting would wait Ave or ten minutes expecting the crowd to rapidly iccreasein numbers. In this they were disappointed. It was after t) p. M. before the solid groups of Anarchists were cheered by the presence of any leaders. August Spies finally arrived, and climbing a wagon in front of Crane Uros.' factory began an address denouncing capital and claiming that he was not the cause of yesterday's riot, but that it was a natural result of class oppression. There was no enthusiasm created by his remarks, and when he was succeeded by A. R. Parsons the crowd began to gradually dwindle away. Bitten by nn Anaroniln. A HusbantFa Vengeance. CillCA(!0, May G.—The metal manufacturers of the city to the number of 100 held a meeting to-day and perfected au organization. About every manufacturer in the city Hinged the constitution, pledging himself to stand by his brethren whatever befalls capital or labor employed in the foundry and machinery business. Tho Executive Committee is not an yet announced, but hasK. X. Crane as Chairman. It was resolved to shut down Saturday night for thirty days. Any manufacturer, however, who arranges with his men for ten honrs' work and ten houre' pay, which is the common ground taken by the asasociation may run as he pleases, but no manufacturer in the association will con nue to run or open up on any other terms. There are a few firms still outstanding, and these will be got into tho organiza tiou before its existence is officially an nouuced and the workman become informed of the body with which they may negotiate. The association will oo-operate in all ways to maintain its existence and carry out its purposes. Firms will help out others on contracts, if necessary, and in every way seek to preserve the policy to which the manufacturers believe themselves forced. St. Louis, May 6.—Prof. Hathaway, a snake eliarmer in the Cole Circus, was bitten by a large anaconda dnring the performance this afternoon and, it is said, is fatally hurt. The reptile, oue of the largest of its kind, was coiled around the performer's body at the time, and the attack was witressed by the audience. The fangs penetrated the unfortunate man near the temple. A number of prominent physi cians in atteudance on the Medical Convention examined the case. Pig Iron Kelly's Views. The Nount of Europe. CHICAGO, May 5.—The passengers on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul train which arrives in the city at 8:45 o'clock were horrified at seeing on the prairie, near Turner Park, a man covered with blood and writhing in the agony of approaching death. The passengers who boarded the train at the station said that the now dead man was a citizen of Tamer Park, and some time ago ran away with the wife of another man and retnrnad bome last night on some errand or other. The hnsbandiwas looking for his wife's paramour, ana finding him this morning emptied both barrels of a shotgun into his body. Not satisfied with thia the outraged husband attacked his victim with a huge knife, nearly hacking him to pieces. The husband is under arrest. The names have not been ascertained. London, May 6.—The PaM Mall Gazelle, commenting on the Anarohist riots at Chicago and Milwaukee, says' that Europe, having adopted a system of exporting paupers to the United States, is primarily answerable for the troubles, and, secondly, that America has shown fatal kind: ess in receiving these paupers, and is now reaping the results of her folly in trying to make American citizens ont of tlio scu a Of Europe. —About twenty-five years ago the South went on a strike under Orand Master Davis. Then Unole Sam struck, and the Southern strike after years of suffering was ended. It's not pleasant for ns to refer to that great Btrike, for we took part in it and lost a father and brothers and a fortune by it. We only refer to it now to warn the fegpws all over the Union who go on a strife not to collide with Unole 8am. They may take a brush with the governors now and then and not get hurt very badly, but if Uncle Ham ever gets after them in earnest they will wish they bad never gone on a strike against him.— Vicksburg Herald. —At the present time in the United States there are remaining about 200,000,000 acres of public land for the use of the coming generation of men. At the rate of disposal of the last year only 10 more years of such reckless and prodigal frittering away of the nation's domain will be necessaryin order to reach the end. During the last fiscal year 20,113,663 acres were swept off the list of the free lands. The waste of a people's birthright cannot long go on at this fearful rato of expenditure. Judge Kelly was interviewed in Washington last Wednesday, when he expressed liiuiselt as follows in regard to the late labor troubles. '•The labor troubles are principally caused by the capitalists who,refusing to pay fair wages to American laborers, have gone abroad and brought others to this country, the vilest and lowest classes of European laborers to lake the places of men who cannot anil will not live as these ignoraut and brutal creaturesdo. Thethiug to bedonc iff to make eight hours a day's work and send to the penitentiary the capitalists who will allow his machinery mi* any longer period. Then legislate to' exclude from this counry the class of men who are responsible for such outrages as are occurring in Chicago today. I have no sympathy with Anarchists and dynamiters, but at the same time I have no sympathy with men who will import labor of this class rather than pay good wages to American workmen." jV-Honte Wall, Cellar and Ctotero work TZSZEim aollfllted.
