Lafayette [lnd.] —Special.—George Bennett, the “scab” engineer and painter, who killed ex-Patrolman William Scott and wounded John Werkhoff, a locomotive fireman, is a double murderer, Werkhoff ..having died of his injuries. The death of both these men exasperated their friends beyond endurance, and shortly after 2 o’clock in the morning a band of masked men, numbering between fifty and seventy-five, visited the county jail, intent on lynching Bennett, who was supposed to be confined therein. One of the lynchers personated a policeman, and, giving his name as such, induced the turnkey to open the door, and immediately the crowd rushed , in, all of whom were armed. They found the keys to the cells and searched everywhere for Bennett, but he was not there. Sheriff McKee was suspicious of danger, and early in tile evening removed Him to a place of safety. The mob was well organized, and there was no talking nor hurrahing, Tho jail was guarded by masktsl ffien, and no one was permitted to go near the’building unless he was known to be “in sympathy with the lynchers. Bennett claims to have been persecuted because h<* took part against the strikers in the B. & Q. Railway trouble, and that he was hounded about until he was unable to make a living, either as an eiytineer or a house-painter, lie has see aed indifferent to his fate ever since his arrest, but he was glad the Sheriff protected him. . Reign of Terror. Terror reigns in the Chinese quarters of San Francisco; Calif. The members of the Sue Yong Tong Company and of the Hop Sing Tong Society are on the lookout to take each others lives. The gate of battle was thrown down, and Wong Fook Choy was shot and killed in the Washington Street Theater by Dick Ah Ting, while defending an actor from blackmail. The murderer, who was a member of the Sue Young Tong. escaped. Bali Gay, of the latter society, was shot and killed, and comrade Hi Choy Pu was sei. upon and badly beaten at the same time. Xot content with taking a life for the one they had lost, the Hop Sing - Tout’s exacted another, and the night of efection day Hark Ah Yoey was shot and lies at the Receiving Hospital in a dying condition. The Chinese Consul has addressed an order to the warring organi- • zations commanding them to refrain from quarreling. Train Robbers at Work. Two night trains on the Georgia Railroad, one leaving Atlanta for Apgusta - at 11:30, and the other leaving Augusta for Atlanta at the same hour, were robbed the other night. The Southern Express Company takes nd way packages, it, being a through run, anil the messengers sleep on such runs. Messenger Ficklen, is a heavy loser, a telegram 4 from Atlanta says his packages amounted to $112,000. Ficklen says he i * must have been robbed between Conyers, which is about thirty miles * from Atlanta, and Oconee bridge, about eight miles from Atlanta. Both robberies were evidently the work of the same man who possibly knew the run of the road. The trains wore not stopped, the robber mounting them at.a station quietly and getting off at the next. Messenger Smith on the up train loses about The Drummers Are Mail. Great indignation is expressed among traveling men now in Seattle, Wash., at the retaliation of the authorities at Victoria. Since the passage of the McKinley law, every. American drummer doing business in Victoria has been required to pay a license of S.‘>o. This only al’ lows him to sell goods by sample until •January Ist. when every foreign salesman must pay a tee of SIOO for the privI'lege. Recently eight. salesmen, including three from New York City and one from San Franei-co. named Kemp, were ) arrested and lined s.'»o and costs. Drummers who have returned froin 'Victoria report biisinessklnll and advise all members of tin' Traveling Men’s Protective Associations to keep away from Victoria. Chicago Anarchists. Armfuls of Howers, sympathetic, spi'eches.A and a parade of 2.000 sorrowing friends marked tin' .celebration of the. third anniversary of the execution of the Anarchists. Spies. Parsons. Engel, and Fisher. Decorum characterized all he exercises. ’Th<' speeches, in comparison with old-time fiery utterances, sere mild almost to tameness. >Foul I’lu-'. ■ of John N! a’i'iui. a worthless character of Orangt.', N. Y.. was .found partly submerged in a small brook near the Northfield road, about six miles from that city. 'The man's head was crushed in and then' were other signs of foul play. The , body lay lengthwise in the stream with the dead man s coat a rapped about his head. A Printer KHled. Albert Butler, of Memphis, a*.printer by trade, while attempting to ride to Shreveport on a Texas Pacific train, fell between t he ears at Gretna, was run over and killed. ■ . ’ . Opium Smugglers. Jean Mattias and Lotus Ferris, owners of the sloop Albert Ross, were arrested at Port Townsend, Wash., charged with smuggling opium from British-Colum-bia. They were released on bail. A large quantity of opium was seized on'* board the steamer Olympia on her arrival. There is much smuggling of opium going on, especially since the duty was increased. The Gas Scare. „ There is plenty of gas after all in Pittsburgh, and the manufacturers are beginning to discover that the sc.jire over the supposed scarcity was unwarranted. EASTERN OCCURRENCES. A week ago Saenger Hall, at Newark, N. J., was hired by people representing the International Workingmen’s Society. < The proprietor of the hall did not know 'that the people were anarchists until the bills-were posted throughout the city announcing the celebration of the third anniversary of the hanging of the Chicago anarchists. Lucy Parsons, Hen Most, and Hugh O. Pentecost were advertised as speakers. When the Speakers appeared the proprietor refused to allow them to enter the hall. A big crowd had congregated in the street

Mrs. Parsons mounted the hall steps and began to harangue the crowd. Police Captain Glori stepped up and warned her to desist. She defied him with strong language, and several anarchists urged her to continue. The Captain gave a signal and the officers and detectives grabbed the ringleaders in short order and marched them to the Fourth Precinct Station. Those arrested are Jacob Dick, John Schmidt, Edward L. Klump, Englebert Hummer, Simeon Gortman, Charles Yager. Adam Dasing. Sebastian Mohr, and Mrs. Parsons. Herr Most escaped in the crowd. A glaring sign which hangs in front of Koster & Bial’s. New York, informs the public that Sig. Jean Succi, formerly of Boulogne. France, will starve himself for forty-five days and try to beat the record of Dr. Tanner, which was only forty days of continuous fasting. The fast will be conducted under the surveillance of Drs. Frank 11. Ingram, Matthew D. Field. Edwin Gaillard, Mason N. W. Synde, Hugh Hogan, and N. S. Bauer. All these are physicians of good standing in the city. In addition relays of newspaper men will be continually on watch. Sig. Succi began his fast at 8 o’clock in the evening. At 7 o'clock he sat down to a most bountiful meal. When he began his last meal for fortv-fivedavs he weighed 134’a pounds. When he arose from the table he weighed -137 k* pounds, showing that he had eaten three pounds at a single sitting. Then he smoked a cigar. At 8:10 o'clock he drank a parting glass of barolo and was off on his starving feat well filled and with his thirst properly quenched. During his fast Sig. Succi will swim, fence, ride horseback, and perform other feats when the humor strikes him. He smokes freely and can do anything he chooses except eat. The object of the fast is said to be purely scientific. WESTERN HAPPENINGS. $ Special Policeman David H. Green. of Kansas City. Mo., shot and killed exSpecial Policeman Joseph Beaumont. Beaumont accused Green of circulating reports about him which caused him to be discharged as a special policeman. In the quarrel that ensued the killing occurred. Green is under arrest. Benjamin Hopkins, the father of James Hopkins. - who shot and killed Adrion McCracken ten miles southeast of Columbus. Ind., has lost, his reason through grief. The lowa Butter. Egg. and Cheese Association has i-losed its fourteenth annual convention at Fort Dodge. It indorsed the Conger lard bill and promised to contribute its share towards the World’s Fair. O. L. Dennison, of Mason City, was elected President. The association represents an industry whose revenues in the State amount to $50,000,000 yearly. A pearl-hunting craze has been started along the banks of the Mackinaw River, an affluent of the Illinois which flows through Woodford, McLean and Tazewell Counties in Illinois. Recently two boys obtained forty pearls from mussels taken from the 1 Mackinaw near Kappa. They took two of the gems to Peoria, where they were offered $22 for them. The river-bed is full of mussels, and it is believed that they contain countless pearls of value. Albert Hendren of Bloomington, Ill.„ has begun a suit for SO,OOO damages against Lewis Hutchison and Anthony Kern. The defendants are carpenters in this city. They directed plaintiff, who is a lad of 13 years, to drive a spirited horse. The animal ran away, throwing the boy but of the vehicle and injuring his spine. The Kansas City packers will follow the example jjf tjieir Chicago brothers and will raise the price of canned meats on account of the increased price of tin plate. They will also raise the price on tinned lard one-fourth of a cent a pound. The increased price will go into effect immediately. Cyrus Gall, a saw-filer living at Bay City. Mich., was handling a 38-caliber revolver at his residence, when a cartridge was discharged accidentally. The bullet struck his daughter Gertrude, aged IS years, in the left hip. causing a fatal wound. Annie Madiil. aged 18, walked off the Light street bridge, at Oshkosh, Wis., while the dra w was open early one morning aiid was drowned.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. The Secretary of Agriculture has presented his annual report to the President.. By comparing prices at Chicago for Oct. 16 of IS'.ifi and of !Bsq. he shows a marked increase in the value of agricultural products, especially of cereals. A tabular statement of agricultural exports of tho last fiscal year, including live animals, barley, hay. potatoes, hops, cheese, eggs, flax, woo],"tobacco, wines, etc., the old and new tariff rates being given daftr oa'-h, indicates a material increase in the import duties on these articles and show- each to have; been imported in considerable quantities. The Secretary says that without ignoring the effects of natural Causes in enhancing values, it is evident that the economic legislation of the last session of Congress has directly benefited the farmers; the improved value of cereals, as lie believes, being largely duo to the silver legislation, which, moreover, has lessened the influence of Russia and India, our wheat competitors in British markets. Our increased export trade in cattle and animal products, another cause of congratulation, he traces to the energetic and effective measures adopted for the eradication of pleuto-pneumonia, /and' to the growing appreciation ar homo and abroad of the departments—-a-hility to suppress or effectually control contagious animal diseases. He declares that not a single,ease of contagious plouro-pneumo-nia has been alleged to exist among American eat th' shipped to British ports since March last. In the line of further precaution the department is now prepared to out rhe inspection of export cattle before shipment, provided for by the act of Aug. 30. Similar energy has been directed to our pork interests,. the department having already undertaken the inspection called for by the same act. The Secretary strongly recommends an inspection law still more comprehensive of all animals slaughtered for interstate or foreign trade. POLITICAL PORRIDGE. Complete returns from 111 precincts in Washington give Wilson, Republican for Congress, 1,100 majority. If the present rate continues Wilson’s majority will reach the neighborhood of 6,000. Returns are coming in slowly from remote precincts in Montana. The Republican committee claim that Carter wiU have have a small majority, but Dixon’s election is generally conceded by 200 to 400. The Democrats claim two majority in the State Senate. Laiest returns Show that the De met cratie State ticket was elected inlllinqis. The roturns from Chicago were unusually late, and materially changed the totals. They ahotf 'a surprising plurality in Cook County against Amberg of 5,600 votes, and a plurality of 16,500 aghinst Edwards. The figures insure the defeat of both'the Republican candidates for State Wilson having more than 1,100 plurality over Amberg

!in the State outside of Cook, ! while in the outside counties Raab has , about 19,000 over Edwards. Returns I from 100 out of the 102 counties in Illinois on State Treasurer, nine-tenths of • which are official and the remainder i carefully estimated, show a plurality for i Wilson, D.. over Amberg, R., of 8,400. ! The" counties from which no returns i have been received will not affect the I general result miterially. Returns and [estimates from the same counties on ■ Superintendent of Public Instruction indicate the election of Raab. D., over Edwards. R., by a plurality of 35.445. It is thought the whole Democratic State ticket in Michigan is elected by from 6,000 to 15.000 plurality. The Legislature is also Democratic, the Senate by about three majority and the House by some fifteen on a fusion vote with Patrons of Industry*, who hold the ba 14 ance of power. The First. Second, Fifth, Sixth. Seventh. Eighth, and Tenth Congressional Districts have gone Democratic, and the Third, Fourth. Ninth and Eleventh Republican. Complete returns have been received from more than one-half,the precincts in California outside of San Francisco and from about two-thirds the precincts in that city. These returns give Markham. R., for Governor more than 10.000 plurality over Pond, D.. and also show that the Republicans have elected the I entire State ticket by a similar plurality. The entire Republican ticket in that city, with the exception of one minor office, is undoubtedly elected by pluralities ranging from a few hundred to 4,000. There seems to be no doubt that the Republicans have elected five out of six Congressmen the State and indications are the entire Congressional delegation will be Republican, though the contest in the First District is close. Returns from a little less than half the precincts in the First District show that Barham. R., is leading by 116 voles. The Legislature, which will elect a United States Senator, will have a large Republican majority in both branches. The official canvass of the votes cast at the late election in Kansas has progressed far enough to show that the entire Republican State ticket has been elected with the exception of A. R. Kellogg, who is defeated for re-cleetion as Attorney General by Ives, the Farmers’ Alliance candidate. The Republican majority is placed at about 10.000. The vote on Congressmen is not changed by the official count. ■ The Kansas delegation will stand two Republicans and five Farmers’ Alliance. The Legislature is still believed to be controlled by the Farmers' Alliance. The People's party managers still claim the election of John F. Willitts. their candidate for Governor, although they freely express the opinion that the Republicans will count him out. They claim that they have elected eighty-five members of the Legislature, two more than a majority on joint ballot, and that with the Democrats they will have ninety-five members At a meeting of the leaders it was decided to make Mr. Willitts their candidate for United States Senator to succeed John J. Ingalls in the event of Mr. Willitts being defeated for Governor. FRESHAND NEWSY. R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: The volumeof business, both domestic and foreign, continues large beyond precedent, and in character prosperous. The elections interrupted business but little, and the result has no perceptible effect as yet upon trade, though some fear that the extension of manufactures may be checked by uncertainty. The monetary situation is substantially unchanged. The reports from all parts of the country show that business is large and healthy. Boston notes wool more quiet but firm; a good movement of heavy-weight goods expected at better prices. Philadelphia finds the wool trade less active, the demand being checked by what manufacturers consider extreme prices: the iron trade a shade weaker, but rolling-mills full of orders; and the coal trade hardly up to expectations, with October prices actually ruling. At Chicago grain receipts equal last year’s, cured meats, butter, and hides show decrease, but dressed beef, lard, cheese, and especially wool increase, and trade in dry goods, clothing, and shoes exceeds last, year’s. , The following is the Thanksgiving proclamation by the President of the United States: A proclama ion—By the grace and favor of Almighty God the people of this nation have been led to the closing days of the parsing year, which lias beet full of the blessings of peace and the comforts of plenty. Bountiful compensation has come to us for the work of our minds and of our hands in every department of human industry. Now. therefore. I, Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States of America, do hereby appoint Thursday, the 27th day of the present month of November, to be observed as a day of prayer and thanksgiving-. and I do invite the people upon that day to cease from t heir labors to meet is their accustomed houses of worship and to join in rendering gratitude and praise to our beneficent Creator for the rich blessings He has granted us as a nation, and invoking the continuance of His protection and grhee for the future. I commend to my fellow-citizens the privilege of remembering the poor, the homeless. and the-sorrowful. Lotus endeavor toe merit, the promised recompense oi charity and the gracious acceptance of our praise. In testimony whereof I have hereunto sot my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington this eighth day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety, and of the ihdependenlce of the United Stales the one hundred and fifteenth. By the President. Benjamin Hauuison. James G. Blaine. Secretary of State.

DEMOCRATS FAR AHEAD OVER A HUNDRED MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE. They Will Outnumber the Republicans Two to One—A Farmers' Alliance Man Talks of That Organisation—Complexion of the United States Senate. Twenty-seven of the forty-four States composing the American Union voted for State officers Tuesday. In some of the States the contests possess elements of peculiar political interest. In Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota, and South Carolina the Farmers’ Alliance had complete State tickets. " In Connecticut, Delaware. Illinois, lowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri. Nebraska, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania. TennesMe. Texas, and Wisconsin the Prohibitionists had State tickets. .The following States had either a Union labor. Industrial, or People’s ticket: Indiana, lowa, Massachusetts. Michigan. Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. The Industrial and People’s tickets are another name for the Farmers' Alliance. Both are peculiarly Western. In Nebraska it is the People’s party, while in Michigan it is the Industrial party. Illinois proposed two amendments to the State constitution. One of the amendments authorizes the connty of Cook to issue $5,009,. 00J of World’s Fair bonds, and the other amendment ratifies the recent amendments to the banking laws of the State. In Kansas two amendments to the State constitution were proposed. One increases the number of Supreme Court judges from three to seven, and the second lengthens the biennial session of the Legislature to ninety days. Nebraska proS>ses four amendments to the State constituon. The amendments relate to prohibition or high license, provide for five' Supreme judges, and increase the judges’ salary. Below we give the State tickets elected, as shown bv reports to the daily press the morning after* election. Later returns will probably change many of them, the returns this year being more than usually incomplete: CALIFORNIA. Governor—Henrv H. Marxnam, R. Lieutenant Governor—John R. Reddick, R.

The returns from the Congressional election continue to increase the Democratic majority in tha lower, house of Congress.

Total 100 216 13 2 The path of the election cvclone through the State legislatures makes tfiejjniteti States Senate almost as interesting ground for speculation as the House of Representatives. A week ago no one dreamed that the Dehiocrats could see a majority of that bodv in sight for eight or ten years to come. A Democratic majority isn’t yet in sight, but the political horizon stretches that way. The present membership of the Senate is 84. that body having 47 Republicans, as against 37 Democrats. The membershin wiU be increased to eighty-eight by the addition of Senators from the new States of Idaho an<tWyoming, and forty-five will therefore be a majority. Twenty-six Senators go out March 4, 1891. Os these sixteen are Republicans and ten Democrats, as follows : Outgoing Republicans—California, Stanford; Colorado, Teller; Connecticut, Platt; Illinois, Farwell; lowa, Allison; Kansas. Ingalls; Nevada. Jones; New Hampshire, Blair; New York, Evarts; North Dakota, Pierce; Oregon, Mitchell; Pennsylvania, Cameron; South Dakota, Moody; Vermont, Morrill; Washington, Squire; Wisconsin, Spooner. Total, 16. Outgoing Democrats—Arkansas, Jones : Florida, Call; Georgia, Brown; Indiana, Voorhees ; Kentucky, Blackburn; Louisiana, Eustis; Maryland, Wilson; Missouri, Vest; Ohio, Payne; South Carolina. Hampton. Total. 10. Os the Republicans Allison of lowa and Morrill of Vermont have been re-elected. Os the Democrats Blackburn of Kentucky and Wilson of Maryland have been re elected, while a Democratic successor (Judge White) has been chosen to Eustis in Louisiana, and Brice has been selected to succeed Payne in Ohio. Os the remaining six there are no signs of a Republican I.egislature in any of the States. On the other hand, the election of Democratic Senators to succeed Blair in New Hampshire and Spooner in Wisconsin is said to be assured. The Democrats also claim a Senator from New York, with possibilities in Illinois and Colorado. If all these claims hold good the Democrats would gain five Senators, and the Senate would stand: Republicans. 42; Democrats, 42. But the Legislatures of Idaho and Wyoming will choose Senators before March 4, 1891. and as Republican Legislatures have already been elected, the next Senate will be: Republicans. 46 ; Democrats, 42. Under such a balance the elections of Senators after 1891 would be fraught with great importance, for a change of two would make a tie. and the Vice President chosen in 1892 might hold the casting vote of the Senate. CLAIMS OF THE FARMERS. Alliance Men Figure Out a Big Victory for Their Candidates. The Farmers’ Alliance people at the national headquarters of the organization in Washing, ton are figuring out a great victory for the farmers in the resnlts of Tuesday’s elections. Mr. li. L. Polk, the President, is absent from the city, but Mr. D. H. Rittenhouse, the Secretary of the organization, talked freely with a reporter on the subject. He said that as the smoke clears away it becomes more and more apparent that the farm--era’ organizations have asserted themselves. It was the first opportunity given organized effort to show that boss rule has come to an end. The farmers’organizations deshed to rebuke the party that defeated free coinage of silver and framed a tariff law that imposed greater burdens on the poor man than on the rich. Mr. Rittenhouse, in reply to a request for some specific statements of what the Alliance accomplished in the election, said he could not give all the evidence, but the returns, he said, are sufficient to prove his statement. In the Eastern States, where the Farmers’ League is strong, they and the Knights of Labor have aided in showing this Congress that their demand for free coinage was no idle one. This was most notable in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, where the two organizations are strongest. The Farmers’ League and Alliance had just secured a good foothold in New York and New Jersey, and the changes are not so startling. The Grangers. Knights of Labor, the League, and the Farmers’ Alliance were organized well in Pennsylvania, and the farmers and laborers gave bossism a rebuke of large' proportions. In Ohio, he said, there is no State organization of the Alliance. Indiana and Illinois have been organized but three months. The Mutual Benefit Association did much good work there. West Virginia has just been organized. There the Alliance was not so powerful as in Virginia. In the Southern States the fights were made at the primaries. Mr. Rittenhouse called particular attention to the effects in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Colorado, and other States. Just, he said, in proportion to the unity of organization so has been the cyclone. The reporter asked Mr. Rittenhouse if he meant to say that the Fanners’ Alliance is an auxiliary to the Democratic party. He replied not by anymeaus. The Democratic party fought the Alliance in South Carolina and at other points; but the farmers .desired to rebuke the party in power for its reckless disregard of tho people’s demand. This Congress was petitioned soy free coinage from almost every Alliance in the United States. The petitions were referred. This ground swell does not prove that the Alliance and kindred organizations will support the Democrats in 1892. If the Democrats fail to givo a greater volume of currency they will receive the same kind of punishment in 1892. “We are determined,” he said, “to be felt, and if this House ignores our petitions we will send to Washington a.House of our own.” WHAT CLEVELAND THINKS. Vipws Ex-President on the Results ot the Election. To a reporter who asked for an expression of his opinions on the results of the elections exPresident Cleveland said: “I am delighted. I challenge the right of any man in the country to rejoice more heartily than I over the results of yesterday. My gratification is that of an American, proud of his ' fellow-countrymen, who, though led awaj- for a time by party prejudices and by blind confidence in cunning and selfish leaders, could not be deluded to their ruin. “They have demonstrated that in dealing with them It is not safe to calculate that they are stupid or heedless of the welfare of their country. The necessity of tariff reform, with its consequent reduction in- the cost of living, and the duty of the Democratic party to advocate it, have been fully demonstrated by the action of the people yesterday. Their decision has been deliberately made, and it is all the moje significant because they have voted upon their reason and judgment and because they have proved that corruption is powerless as against their convictions. “Os course, there is nothing for the Democratic party to do but to push on the battle at all times and in all places on the lines which they have,laid down—that is, to insist upon a wise adjustment of tariff taxation to the reasonable needs of the Government, as opposed to the plan wljich enriched a favored class at the expense of the masses of the people. Until the victory is won the question of tariff reform will not be settled, nor the pledges and professions es the Democratic party to the people re. deemed.” Some very interesting and possibly important experiments have been made during the past five vears by Dr. Gaucher, of Paris. Bacilli of tuberculosis were injected into several rabbits, producing the disease in all cases. Other rabbits were then inoculated in just the same manner, but were fed afterward with bran mixed with boracic acid. On killing these rabbits after a time, no trace of tubercular disease could be found. How far the boracic acid might be beneficial to the human victim of tuberculosis is not known, ba* in such trials as have been made lang decay has been arrested and improvement in every way has resulted. All the work of a Christian should be Christiaawork. 1

GO ON WITH THE FIGHT. SO SAY THE ANARCHISTS AT THE "MARTYRS”’ GRAVES. Strong Sentiments Expressed During the Anniversary Celebration at Waldheim Cemetery, Near Clileago—The Hanging of Spies and His Companions Called a Hellish Crime — A Red Flag on Mrs. Parsons* House. [Chicago dispatch. ] “Weep not for us when gone, but on with the fight!” These last words of one of the executed anarchists are typical of the sentiments expressed by the speakers at the anniversary exercises held at Waldheim Cemetery over the graves of the “martyrs.” The demonstration, while orderly, proved that the feeling of discontent is by no means dead. At each reference to the “innocent boys lying yonder, ” or to “our brothers done to death, ” the 1,600 listeners expressed their feelings audibly. In addition to an express wagon load of floral pieces, many of the women carried , wreathes, lyres, and other No crosses, however, were to be seen. A handsome wreath of immortelles was the tribute of the socialists of Vienna, Austria. After circling Market Square twice to get in good marching order the procession moved across Lake street, the bands playing the Marseillaise and other favorite airs of the would-be social reformers. Men wearing crimson “committee” badges sold round-trip tickets printed on crimson cardboard for 50 cents. At the cemetery a table, a bench, and two chairs had been surrounded by a rope alongside the graves of the “apostles of freedom.” The graves were covered with flowers and the table taken possession of by George Schmedinger, who opened the ceremonies by referring to the occasion as “the third anniversary of the murder of our brothers by capitalists.” He then introduced L. S. Oliver, a long-drawn-out individual, who aroused great enthusiasm by heaping abuse upon the Government, the law. its officers, and other signs of civilization now existing in the United States. “We have no regrets to offer for tho buried,” he continued. “From their ashes in those graves comes the rebuke to the perpetrators of this hellish crime. It is soundinfg louder and louder from one end of the land <i> the other, and across the briny deep. When it culminates it will shake the earth from pole to pole. Ki-m 'inber that those boys stood there and sacrificed their lives for the freedom of those left behind. They faced the hangman with a fortitude that knows no equal. Tlrey had no regrets. Their silence has more force than any words spoken here to-day. Gur cjpjdren will wonder at the stupidity or villainy of the people who applauded the work of that horrible sacrifice. Though they build scaffolds at every cross-road we must go on. Courage, friends, onward! Onward! These religious and legal superstitions that ruin our men and women must be swept away. Let us say with Emmett, ‘lf this be treason, by the eternal gods make the most of it.’ Those who drove our boys to death manufactured the law. They were convicted before tried; indicted for murder and convicted of anarchy.” After a brief intermission, during which the singing societies sang and Mauritz Schultz repeated a good deal of' Oliver’s speech in German. H. E. Bartholmy, the orator of the day, was introduced. Mr. Bartholmy was formerly a lawyer, but gave up practice for the bench. He is now a tailor. He made a deep impression, his delivery being striking and his diction admirable. “Emerson once said,” he began, “it is not thste fact so much as what you think of it. To thoroughly understand a fact, an event, or circumstance, it is necessary to have a clear conception of the preliminary causes, coexisting conditions, and succeeding effects. A minute and accurate knowledge of every battle fought in the late rebellion would necessarily be superficial, chaotic, and incomplete unless it were supplemented by a careful and candid review of the intellectual struggle and political activity which was going on prior to its culmination in a fraternal war. There are no isolated events in the history of the world. The most obscure phenomenon beais an intimate relation to the luminous epoch, and apparently insignificant detail is often an important factor in the consummation of a stupendous scheme. This principle of mutual dependence of one fact upon another permeates all nature, the inanimate world as the social organism, witli its beauty and lifegiving power, and is the foundation of all institutions, social and anti-social, which have thus far been the scorn and pride of tho world. “I prefaced my address with these preliminary observations in order that you might better understand the position I occupy, or at least endeavor to occupy, in considering what I regard no ordinary, insignificant event, but, on the other baud, the most stirring, significant and pregnant occurrence since the hanging of John Brown—the hanging of the i Chicago anarchists. “1 believe that the execution of those apostles of a now and higher civilization ; was a historical necessity, and by this expression I do not mean that it was necessary to destroy them hUorder that society might live, to hang them in order that law and order might triumph and the stability of our institutions be preserved. I mean tluit truth comes into the world through pain and struggle: that the blood of the martyr is the seed of the church; that the gallows is more eloquent in its silence than the orator with his lips or the philosopher with his pen. “Who can fathom .the psychological effect of that wonderful event? Who | ean measure the momentum it gave to the thinking world? Who can number the hearts that were moved, the minds that were affected, and the converts that were made? At no time in the history of the world did tlie execution of a man or number of men create such a profound impression. The thinking world shook from center to circumference Nov. 11, 1887., Ido not believe that any of the men whose bodies lie moldering in peaceful calm yonder or those in Joliet to-day were guilty of any graver crime than that serious offense in antagonizing public opinion in the cause of freedom, and progress, and humanity. Did I believe that a fiendish appetite to destroy life and property without regard for law, either human or di vine, had captured their souls, and that with wanton recklessness they advocated the use of force to ameliorate social conditions, I would not say one word here to-day. But Ido not believe this charge is true. The explosion of the bomb temporarily stupefied the public mind, and henceforth no logic, however potent, could eliminate the false impression which the shock created. They cried, ‘That settles it. Hang 'em, hang ’em. These Anarchists are bombthrowers, and if you insist on trying to defend them we’ll have you arrested as a suspect.’ Reason yras temporarily suspended and fear and terror ruled. “The propagators of Christianity were equally as much despised and persecuted 2,000 years ago as are the Anarchists today. The term Protestant in its day was as odious and repulsive as tho term anarchy is to-day. The idea of abolition was received with the same criticism, censure and condemnation. “Now anarchism on its negative side is a paetest against the exercise of human

authority over the natural and minute liberty of many. It exalts the individual above collective society, and holds that man as an individual is superior to the j institutions he has created, that the right I of the individual is supreme, and denies I to Government the authority to interfere j with that right It would abolish private property in land ” THE NEXT CONGRESS. The Result of the Recent Elections Shewn at a Glance. [From the Chicago Tribune.] The latest returns indicate that the Democrats, including the Farmers’ Alli- ! anee men, will have 238 members in the nest House, while the Republicans will havdbut93. This wHI give the Democrats a majority of 145, and even if some of the Alliance men should vote with the Republicans the Democrats would still have nearly, if not quite, a two-thirds majority. The Democratic majority is 145. There are 121 votes from the'South. Hence it appears that without a vote from the . South the Democrats would still have a majority of 24. This more fully appears from the following summary: EASTERN STATB3.

MARRIED HER BROTHER. Strange Revelations Brought About by the Search for Missing Heirs. A romance of unusually unfortunate and pathetic details was discovered when two detectives from Toronto discovered in Mr. and Mrs. Asa Barr, of Kansas City, Kan., the relationship of’ brother and sister,and the heirs to fortunes left by a relarfve of their deceased mother. I Twenty-five years ago two waifs, mere babes, brother and sister, were abandoned by German immigrants at Castle Garden. They were legally adopted, one by Asa Barr, the other by a Mrs. Evans. Mrs. Evans moved soon afterward to Philadelphia where she brought up her adopted daughter, giving her all the comforts of a home anil a good education. Twenty years later the boy, grown to manhood and having taken his adopted father's ; name, moved also to Philadelphia, where I he followed the trade of a painter. I Chance drew the brother and sister to- [ gether. Barr was captivated with tho j girl and wooed, won and married her. i Soon after they moved to Kansas City, I Kan., where Barr continued in bis trade las painter. Not long after Mrs. Evans 1 died. Quickly following her death oc- | curred that of a relative in London, Canada, who died rich and intestate. His fortune would have passed to Mrs, Evans as the nearest relative, but her death having occurred, her adopted daughter became the heir. The attorneys sent detectives to trace the heiress, and in their investigation of tho case discovered the true relationship of Mr. and Mrs. Barr to be that of brother and sister. They revealed to the unfortunate couple the facts. The terriblo knowledge prostrated Mrs. Barr, and her husband is grief-stricken. Legal proceedings will at once be in-tituted to sever the marriage bond, and Mrs. Barr will go to London, Canada, to claim her fortune. FRILLS OF FASHION. The new colors in underlinen are yellow and mauve. and morning jackets all copy tho zouave. Blue is the color in highest favor this season. Feathers are the chief ornament of everything. Twenty feathers are sometimes used on a single hat. A new cloak called Ute Watteau is a decided novelty. Pansies in velvet are used for handkerchief sachets. Sleeves are to be bought in Paris ready to slip into any dress. Linen collars are very high and stiff, and studs are very small. Quiet and inconspicuous watch chains are the only ones now in vogue. The sailor hat reappears in felt and , serges to suit the demands of the season. The trimming on toques and capotes is high both in the front and the back. The jacket has been popular for some months past, and promises to continue so. A smalt, pearl or a single diamond in the scarf are the only ornaments suitable for a man of taste. One of the new driving coate is of white cloth, has broad double lapels and large white buttons. A new bonnet box concocted in France is arranged with hooka on the side te which the hate are securely fastened. <,
