Men chatted about former hacgiB; and the Deputy Sheriffs walked up and down Jaslierce. Sieriff Ma'aca occasionally cam oat of the jail 's ptlnte office to see tbat Ms men were oa the alert. At 11 :30 o'clock the condemned men wera tili TFtxe asd talking to their guards, Parte wis In the cell furthest to the east, Tifcher was located in the next to the west, Ed pel in the adjoining one and tuples neit. Fielden and Schwab paced ip and down their cells in?itIrg sleep. A. few minutes after 11 o'clock, Deputy Vetera came oat from bis turn cf duty with Engel with the air of a man who had jast left an 7ble entertainment. The cause of this waa discovered to be a select assortment of fanny stories with which Engel hid rfpftled him. This one of the condemocd Js by do meant depressed by the clatter of the carpenters around in the western corridor putting Use fiDishirg touches on the scaffold, where in a few hours he will be a prominent a:tor. The grim terror of the rapidly passing hours seem to have so effect on Eogel. In the course of his conversation with Peters he Indulged ' in a sneer at the cowardice exhibited by WTeral of his doomed fellows. Said he: "There are a good many loud talkers esttoag ns, and the ones that talked loudest were the first to .wtakjn when it came to the scratch." On being asked as to his own Tlew of his coming doom, be threw up his hands, and With a thrug of his shoulders said : "You tee me." There Is hardly a doubt that he -will march upon the fatal platform and etep out into eternity with the reckless courage of a brute. At half past eleven JaisoES is still awake and pacing his cell with restless step. Occasionally his sharp face shows up in the glare of the lantern sittirg in front of his door, and the light in nis eyes seems brighter than in the early evening. Fischer and Spies sit on their beds well back from the cell doors, acd ray but little. All the city papers are represented ex cept the Arbeiter-Zeitung, which has so lore been the organ of the Chicago Anarchist. So far as can be learned no application for admission has been made by any one from that paper. Ipnty Sheriff Adolph Mueller had a talk with Fischer and Engel daring the evening. Mueller says that the Kamen 'iecusted Lingc's suicide freely. Bath of them declared' that they wished they hid a chance to follow Lutgg's example. They would infinitely prefer to take their own lives than to suffer the shameful death allotted to them. ogl also disectEed his own attempt at suicide which be made Saturday night by taking laudanum and morphine pills. He went so für as to assert that his own wife gave tiira the bottle about a year a pro, and he added tbat he wished he had used the j eisen befere it lost its strength. A50THER BOMB THBOWIR. An extra edition of an evening paper bbjs: The following dispatch was received by Capt. Black to-night: Niw York, November 10, 1857. To Capt.

Wagixer, Councellcr at law, 5'J Third avenue. Captain Black left at 9 tonight for f piirgC eld. after wirlrg the New York lawyer to leave there at once for the same jcint. FTARTLIKG PEITS ATIOWS. Among the stories which are floating trotted the jail is one which seems to joint to some concerted action by outside Acarchis's, A saloon keeper, whose place is located a few blocks from the j ill, siys tbat laet night at a late hour, three men came into his saloon. With twoof them he w as acquainted as being well-know ChiCBco Anarchists. The third party was a etiacger. In the saloon they had a long private consultation, and as they were getting ready to leave, the stranger said: Nothing will happen Thursday night or Friday, while the execution is going on, but Friday night the police will be tired and away from the jail, and then the fun will come." He also said

the delegations ot Anarchists would visit the newspaper omces and treat them to a sensation. This sanguinary party was a large German wearing a tall beard. Shortly after midnight a messenger arlived at the jail with a telegram for Spies. It was from his brother and bade him rxeet his fate with firmnes j. The first geauine sensation of the ni'ht recurred at 12: -to. A bi. black-whiskered yo cere an rohed into the jail and declared that a report had spread on the s'reets that State's Attorney Grinnel hvi teen shot. Immediately the jail office became a ecene of confusion. Deputies whiepered .to eaci other and newspaper men rushed out to ran down the rumor. Deputy Cleveland declared that he did not believe the rumor for the reason that to hours previously a telephonic inquiry was made from a police station, askiog if t was. true that bneiill Alatsonhad been ttct. Oflicfr Jackson, who brought the report of Grinnell being shot, said that he was on duty in the Criminal Court build ing and was called up by the t le phone from the Central Po1 ce Station. The desk sergeant at Centi 1 said : 'We have a rumor that the State's attorney :bad been killed. Dj they know anything of it at the jail?' Tnis started the ollicer over to the jail where he found that he was the first one lo bring the rumor there. By a yery Ibv xuinutee after 1 o'clock it becams knowa positively that there was no trutä in the report that the State's Attorney was shot Stenographer Parcell, of Mr. GrinaeU's office, was in communication with Griateal's bou-e and found that he was. safe and sound in bed. THE DEATH WATCH. Cock Cousty Jail, Chicago, November .11 2 a.m. At 1 o'clock a change was made in the death watch. Deputy ilartke had been guarding Spies since 8 o'clock He reported that he had quite a long talk with the Anarchists. Spies declared that be bad no reason to be afraid, and then lauccled forth in a tirade against the .courts. Jie asserted that all the judge who had and connection with the case had reason to tremble while the Anarchists con!d hold up their heads and walk to death with steady footsteps. The deputy also related the rxa&ner in which the Rev. Dr. Bjlton was recti ved by Spie. The divine asked h'm if be would not accept of spiritual .consolation. .Spies, with a haughty shake of hia bead, declared be had no use for r,y clergymen. "I'll pray far you all night," cried the Doctor. "Pray for yourself," jou teed it more than I." At 11 o'clock Spies lay down on his cot atd cloeed hin eves, but he did not sleep. Several times he got up for a dxink of water. Dot his every movement betokened a rmness which was astonishleg. So it was with thereat of the Anarchists. Parsons had the nerve to entertain hia guard with a son. His selection was "Annie Laurie." He sang the sweet song entirely through, and when he finished, rested his head on his hand! for a few moments, and then repeated the aoog. His fortitude was the wonder of ail who heard hint. Between 1 and 2 o'clock the Sheriff aad his assistants tested the gallows. Heavy bar of sand were attached to the opes and the traps were sprung. The machine worked to perfection, aid in all r reaprecta was satisfactory to the aoiioritifs. Then an unrnual quiet pra vaiLad in the jail. The only noise in the cell-ioom was the low voices of a tew dep ntiis, the turning of a key in a lock aad the rapid ticktcgof a telegraph instrument which was tellicg the world of the last fcCDrsof the four Anarchists. 0 ;rorjcoti.i. .ieritffauop, afitr cooatuvauoa w u

Jailer Fol has decided to bar the big

iron gate at the north end of the jail court, leading into lllinoss street Four carpenters were at work to-day. fortifying the gate by propping It with heavy f our-Inch scantling. At the bottom of the gate, heavy hare wo d timbers have been spited. Kopes will be piarea across tne street at every comer ot -the jail building to-morrow, and a cordon of police numbering 2fi will be stationed about this iaclosore to keep the crowds back. After looking over the situation, bnenc Mattson baa concluded that he would not be authorized to send Fielden and Schwab to the penitentiary cn a telegram. The Governor's messenger will arrive from SprinRfield early tomorrow morniog, bringing an oß'.cial copy of the order of commutation. After that a mittimus will issue, and the men may go down to-morrow or Saturday. About o'clock tc-uirht a bomb was found by Thomas Maloney in the rear of the residece of James Bryton on Yale near Sixtynhird street In Englewood. The bomb consisted of a piece of gas pipe twelve inches long and about two inches in diameter filled with pieces of iron aid substance supposed to be dynamite. Mr. Bryton was one of the jurors who convicted the Anarchists. He said to a reporter tonight that he did not fear any organized attack, but believed that trouble might be expected from cranks. He has received several threatening letters since sentence was pronounced on the Anarchists and has consulted with reference to them with Chief Ebersold, State's attorney GrinBell and Captain Schaack. Two officers were detailed to guard hia bouse. The Eake police are greatly exercised over what they believe to be an attempt to take the life of James Brayton, one of the jury tbat convicted the Anarchists. Mr. Brayton lives at Sixty-third and Lake streets. Yesterday three or four men mide application to rent a room on Slate street about two blocks from Mr. Braytou's residence, representing that they were musicians. The room was rented to them, and they said they would move iu the after noon, lo cay a saloon-keeper, whose name the police refuse to divulge, reported to the ploice that he had seen the musicians, and that he knew one of them to be an Anarchist from the city, and he believed the party were Anarchists who proposed to make the room their headquarters while they perfected their p' ana to bio np Mr. Brayton's residence. The ciptiin of police promptly ordered a deUc'iamt CI of his men to guard Mr. Brayton s house. At the office of the Arbeiter Ziituogon "West Twelfth street, things were quiet The noon issue of the paper contained a short account of Bings s attempted suicide, which read: 'They have urged our courageous friend to death. T all moraine he committed suicide by placing a dynamite cartridge in his mouth and Igniting it, almost resulting in instant death." The account goes on to say that his friends' declaration that he was insane, yesterday drove him to com mit suicide. Vn to 11:40 o'clock everything is quiet throughout the city. No indication of disturbance have been reported from any quarter. The fact that the authorities have tkn every precaution to prevent trouble and are fully prepared for any emergency is aim est a euiranteee tbat everything will pass off quietly ta morrow. Before leaving for Springfield to-nipht Capt Black said he had positive knowledge that the Hayro&rket bomb was not thrown by Schnaubelt, and that he could daring the trial aave produced Scbanubeit ia court, but was too much afraid of the rulings Judge Gary waa making. The entire Second regiment is held in readiness to move at a moment's notice tonight, and in all probability will remain in the arm or v until after the execution has taken place. The first object that met a reporter's gaze as he entered the building of the armory was Major Tobey's Gattling pun, placed so that it entirely commands the entrance. Along the sonth wall were placed the remaining guns of the battery, all in perfect order and ready for service at a moment's notice. New York, November 11. Attorney N. P. Wegener, of No. f9 Second Avenue sent a tellegram to Captain Blacken Chicago, yeiterday, to the effect that he had on affidavit stating postively tbat the man who threw the bomb at the Haymarket riot v.as in New York city. Mr. Wegener was teen by a reporter at an early hour this morn in? at his residence. He said: "Franz May no ET, who was convicted ol ttemptmg lo defraud tb Green viz i Iqauraoce Company in October and senten ( d to Sing Sing for four and one-half years, wrote to me some days ago, and cn November 2d I went to Srg Sieg where he made an ifiic'avit before the notary public of the wison to the effect that he knew the man who threw the Haymarket bomb. The affidavit is substantially a follows: "lam 3; year of age; was born in Meckllnberg, Germany ; I have a wife and three children in Hamburg; I have been three years and five months in this country; 1 last resided at 475 East 71'h street New York. Early in January, 1887, I was introduced to Kliman Scheutz by Wilhelm Schaef. I often heard Schaef speak of Sheutz. Schaef told me Scheutz was an Anarchist, and knew all about anarchy. This was at 415 East Eghty-first street Mrs. Horst waa present The first time after tbat I saw Scheutz was on Sunday morning, two weeks lter. He spoke of anarchy, dynamite and arson and of the bomb at Haymarket. He told me that he bad resided in Chicago at tbe time and that be had to make his escape. "Aaked him why be had to make his escape. He said tbat the police suspected that he was concerned and that he was concerned and that he got an ay. &haet was present at tbi interview They are both Anarchists. 'Th s conwrtitha t ck p!ace at 7 a. m. I asked Scbentz if he knew anything about the Haymarket bomb and be said : 'Speaking is silver; silence is gold.1 The second conyeisation I had with 8cheu:z was during the first week in February at the corner of E'ghty firet street and First avenue. Scteutz wanted.me to help bim kill a man in Fifty-first street. He said the men must be killed in tbe dar time because he bad $3,000 in his cafe. He showed me a sand-bag and a clob. I refused to have anything to do with him. He said: "You r'e no good. I have dene worse than that I was one of tie Anarchists in Chicago. I threw the bomb. Others are Buffering for It, but that's none of my business." "He told me tbat he bad thres bombs in lis satchel and that he was behind a wagon at the time ot the Hay market riot It hal been agreed to throw the bombs when the police interfered. But the bioolhounds came to late. He sa'd "I threw one bine lean." He said 1 e was sorry he could not throw the other two. I asked him why he came to New York and he raid tbat he beard of the arrests after the riot and after waiting four or five days to avoid suspicion be left Chicago. "M j next conversation with him was one week later at No. 30c East Seventy-sixth street There he showed me two pieces o; iron, or at ?leaat they looked like iron. He asked me if I had ever seen a bomb. I told him no. He said: "lke are bombs'" and asked me if I wanted one. I asked him if they were loaded, and he said a good Anarchist woahi never carry anything bot leaded bombs. He told me that these bombs were genuine. I told hi on I did not want anything to do with them. My nxt conversation with him wis on February 13 Schaef was prese.it. Tbey talked about the condemed Anarchists and Schulotz said: 'If they hang those men, Grinnell and the twelve m;n most die like dogs.' My fourth conversation with him was aDout to weeks later, He spoke about the

bombe and said that he had been pres

ent at the meeting held In Irving Hall at the time the Anarchists were sentenced. He had a satchel at that time containing three bombs, and he said that he would have thrown them had the bloodhounds become unbearable. Scheutz lives at No. 1150 Firit avenue, and is a carpen ter. Scheutz waa tbe principal with ess for for the people at May hoff 'a trial and at that timestatements were made in court to the effect that both men were Anarchists. Scheutz is employed in the repair ehopi of . ma . m ft the uniri Avenue Guriace railway snops aud is said to have been an officer in one ot the foremost societies of Anarchists in the country. Mr. Wagener said that be had rest faith in the affidavit from what be new of the case before. "When asked why he did not mfee pub lic the facts before, be said: "The affida vit was made on November 2 ad, and in German. I communicated with she counsel for the condemned men and I acted according to his instructions. I went to Superintendent of Tolice Merry to-night, and asked bim to search the premises occupied by Schuetz and he told me that it would be necessary for me to get a worrant I have no interest in the case other than common humanity. I am not an Anarchist, Socialist, nor Communist, but a plain every-day American citizen, bat I candidly and honestly believe that the contents of the affidavit are true." Gen. Kocer A.

Wagener had in his possession at one time an affidavit regarding the person who threw tbe bomb at the Haymsrfeet riot in Chicago. He knew that Lawyer Vg-cr intended to communicate the facts iu his possession to Governor Olesby. Wne'.her or not be bad done so he cou'djnot say. Pryowaa extremely guarded in his statements and expressed tbe desire to b carefully quoted. He said, however. thU be was convinced rf the authenticity of tLe affidavit. The details ot the case were all in Mr. Wegener's hands and he referred the reporter to that gentleman foi par ticulars. SPaES' plea, lie Wants to Hang Tbat tbe Other May He Spared.

The others (among them myself), while possessed of the same feclirg of Indignation, can perhaps more calmly and dispassionately look npon the matter as it stand They do not dlsiesrard thefct that throueh a systematic course of lyiu?, dintorliog, inventing and slandering, the pre baa succeeded in dealing a sentiment of bitterncu and hatred among a greater portion of the populace that one man, no matter how powerful, how courageous and jest be be, he cannot possibly overu me. They bold that to overcome that sentiment or the influence would almost be an impossibility.

During our trial the desire of the prosecution to slaughter me and let my co-defendants go with milder punishment was Quite apparent and manifest It seemed to me then, and to a great many others, that the prose cution would be satisfied with one life, biate' Attorney Grinnell in his argument Intimated this very plainly. 1 care not to protest my innoctnee of anv crime, and of the one I am accused in particular. I have done tbat, and leave the rest to the judgment of history. But to yon I wish to address myself now, as the alleged arch-cocsplrator (leaving the fact that I never have belonged to any kind of conspiracy out of the Question altogether). It a sacrinee ot life there mnst be. will not my life suffice? The State's Attorney of Cook County asked for no more. Take this, then take my Hie.

A.briEü. NEW YORK'S PROTEST. The Soci1ihta of h C'ty Denounce The Execution in C Men go. K w Ycbk, November 10. The Federation cf Tiadts Unions and tympathizers with Stciahsm paraded to-night in protest apeirst the hanging of the Anarchists in rh'rrgo to morrow. The parade was orderly and no sign of disturbance occurred, it might have been different bad John Most and other Anarchist speakers harrarjgned the crowd at Union Square as was at first contemplated. But a subsequent arrar gcruent did away with all chance of conflict between the Socialists and authorities. The various unions whese headquarters are below Thirtieth strtet began to assemble on Kast Thirteenth street, and those north of the dividing line at Forty-second street and Fifth avenue, at an early hour. Tbe orgsn'zations were a long time getting into motion, and it was not until 9 o'clock that tbe first union reached Union Square, the rendezvous. Finding the long row of lights at tbe pleza extinguished, and no preparations made for speaking, the solemn march of protest began down Broadway. There were large numbers of persons to witness the parade despite the indent ent weatter, and tbe scene was particularly impressive as the long line of men. 3,000 strotg. passed down Broad street with red and black flags, all beavilv draped in crepe, and bands playing the "Dead March from Saul" and Marseillaise. Transparencies bore inscriptions far rx 01 e bloodthirsty and threatening than anything in the conduct or appearance of the marching men. Araoog the legends were these: "Blood for Blood;" "Proletariat ;" "Beware of tbe Insurrection;" "The Gallows Contra Justice;" "Seven Noble Men You Kill. Savages, Beware;" "Bombard Us and We'll Dynamite You;" "Wage Slaves, the Day of Your Deliverance is at Hand." Other transparencies bore tamer sentences, as "We demand justice." "Lsbor ia honest and holy." "Death or bread." "The work home." "Liberty to starve tbe workIrJglsn.,, One banner proclaimed "Capitalism is now on trial," and others contained extracts from Judge Gary's charge acd frcm speeches of the condemned Anarchieta. Tbe procession continued down Broadway to tbe i ostoffice, turned into Park Row and- disbanded. No bodies of police in uniform were visible at any point along tbe line of parade, but officers in citizsn's dress, in large numbers, mingled with the crowd. The whole available force in the city was on duty, however, and were kept moving with the procession In squads on adjoining side streets, ready to be con centrated at any point seeded at very short nctice.

Anarachisis Parsons, Fischer, Kagel and Spies, tbecodvlcted Haymarket murderers, have been throttled by the law the self same law that they had hoped to throttle. Their scaffold drop fell at 11:54 to-day. "1, Canute li. Matson, Sheriff of Cook County, 111., do hereby certify that on the 11th day of November, A. D., 1887, between the hours of 10 o clock in the forenoon and 4 o'clock in the afternoon ot that day, in the common jail of said county, I did as said Sheriff, dulyjeiecute August Spies, Adolph Fiscf er, George Engel and Albert II. Parsons, in conformity with the stntence of the Criminal Court, in pursuance of the order and judgment of tbe Supreme Court of Illinois, for the Northern Grand Division. "Made and entered of record, on the 11th day of September, 1887, and in accordance with the statutes of the Slate of Illinois, in euch cases provided. "Cakcte Ii. Matsos. "We, the undersigned, who are not relatives of the above named August Spies or others, hereby certify that we have witnessed the execution, by hanging, of the air? Angus Spies and others, and In the abc.e certificate set forth " Signatures cf twelve Chicago citizens are appended to the solemn declarations above, and with them, form the essential ptibhc record of the death of the 11 ay market murderers. Döring the long hours of the sight the only newspaper men who were admitted to the inner precincts of the jail were the repreientatives of the Associated Press. They had quarters in what ia known as the lawyer's cage, and were within ten feet of the Anarchiets. At 4 o'clock one of them made a tour of the lower corridor, where Spits, Pareons, Fischer and En pel were confined. In, each cell were two stalwart guards, who stood watch over the Anarchistfl. The former chatted in low tones, and whirpered jokes among themselves to while away the time. - But the talk and whispered jokes were all lost on the prisoners. Fach was in the heaviest of slumbers. Spies lay on one side, his head on his arm and slept as peacefully Imam uo uc. r latu uau iuiutu uver vu his back and the cons? quence was that he I frequently let out a snore that echoed in a i siartlidg manner thron eh the silent corj ridors of the building, llngel lay motion less as did Parsons, except that trt this time the latter started uneasily aa if dresms were coursing through his mind. Then at intervals the silence was broken by the stealthy walk cf an armory guard, who made the rounds of the lower corridor to see that all was well. The only other disturbing element was the mewing of the jail cat, who kept up the noise so persistently that at last a deputy bore down on, captured and removed her to the basement, where her cries could not be heard. AH the common prisoners, to the number of about two hundred, were left in their ucual cells. The practice at hangings in Chicago is to not remove them until a few bours before the execution takes place. Sheriff Matson decided to follow the old rule. At tbe appointed time all of those located in the tiers of cells facing north, acd which command a partial view of the scaffold, were marched into tbe tiers facing south, where not a glimpse of the execution can be had. THE CALLOWS CSED. Tbe gallows for the present hangine were IccaUd in the extreme northeast corner of the cell room. An inspection was made of them during the night by the Associated Pitts reporter. Tbey are the largest ever erected in Cook county. They were originally built for the swinging off of the ihn a Italians who killed a fellow countryman and shipped hia remains in a trunk to Pittsburg. At the time the murderers were hung the trap was made to comfortably hold three men, but to accommodate tbe Anarchists It was enlarged to the extent of two feet and a half in width. To reach the scaffold tbe men who are to be executed axe escorted from the jail through the lower corridor to a cell room to an iron stairway which leads to the second tier. This is a distance of ten feet from the zround floor, and the platform ot the gallows Is even with this tier. The woodwork of the instrument of destruction is painted, or rather stained a very dull reddish brown, and as seen by the dim light of the gas jets was anythiog but pleasant to lock upon. The weird effect was heightened by the little sentry box which is located just back of tbe trap. Ia this is stationed tbe man who really is the executioner. Into this box extends a rope. At the given signal tbe unknown man inside cuts the rcpe with a brand new and especially sharpened chisel of wide dimensions by striking the chisel a heavy blow with a mallet. Down goes the trap a distance of six feet and at the same time the murderera are launched into eternity, Some time after midnight Parsons complained that the hum of conversation In tbe jail office annoyed bim and prevented him from sleeping. The wooden door which hangs on the office aide of the heavy bars of tbe inner door was closed, and the Texas Anarchist dropped into an uneasy slumber. In the nice a busy crowd of reporters stood writing at the high desks, or lounged about talking with the deputies. Occasionally a heavy step sounded on the Iron stairs outside and the storm door was opened revealing a candidate for admission to all the horrors provided for the possessors of passes. From within the lawyers cage came the sharp metallic click of the Associated Press instrument, dispatching the gathering incidents of the night Along the otherwise silent corridors sounded the slow, regular tramp of the deputies composirg the death watch to, and fro, ceaseleesly in front of the cell doors behind which were the four forfeited lives. At piitt iLteiTRi tfc0 Juimtjf cgntcrssr-

tion ssnk low, could be heard the measured tick of the clock on the office wall, marking time for the devoted ones for whom time wonld scon be no more. On the streets armed policemen paced their beats, and all who had no business io the neighborhood were peremptorily ordered to "move or," and if they did tot raove on at once they were assisted. TBI JAIL SCILnSG. The jail proper cccnpiea the Illinois street frort of tbe building, while that part used by the Criminal Court fronts on Michigan street. . On the latter front is tbe main entrance, through which all who enter must pass. This opening ia guarded by a heavy double iron door, which is kept closed and fastened by a padlock and chain. Immediately within the doors stand two trusty policemen armed with breech-loading rifles, and carrying thirtyeight rounds each in a convenient cartridge box. A step sounds in the outer vestibule, and from tbe watchful sentries comes tbe stern bailiff: "Who comes there?" A voice from the oul side responds, then the padlock opens, the chain rattles and tb.3 doors slide apart a few Inches, aud a survey is made by the guards of the individual applying for admission. If his credentials are satisfactory, the doors are opetcd sufficiently for him to pats in. Inside, other guards bearing rifies more about over the tile oor, and at the head of the wide stairway leading to the upper Moor the mozz'e of the loaded rifle in the hands of an oflicer projects over the steps. The court rooms above are occupied by aeTeral companies of policemen with a whole arsenal of weapons and ammunition. 0a the roof are numerous sentries ready to open on any suspicious looking individuals who may approach on the surrounding roofs. Tbe jail proper is reached by crossing a narrow court, dismal ar,d cold in the darkness, In this part of the building special preparations have been made for the reception of unwelcome callers. Now and then a louder voice than common Cotts out from the cel:oom, where some ordinary prisoner hss waked with a cry, but from the cells of the condemned comes only the low murmur cf conversation between the guards and their wards. About 1 o'clock while there was comparative silence, the occupants of the Sheriff's office were startled by a crash and a baog from the northern corridor. It was nothing enly the Sheriff ard a few other officers experimenting with the scaffold and testit acd the ropes. A. few minutes after 2 o'clock Spies stood at the door of his cell emokirg acd talking through the bars with his guard. As the slow hours swang along, even the proximity of death grew monotonous. "Come and look at Lingg," said Sheriff Matson to a group of reporters. Between 3 and 4 o'clock the rumble of wheels ootaide penetrated the thick walla ard a wagon drove up and unloaded four ccflirs, one for Spies, one for Engel, one for Fischer, and one for Parsons. At 3:30 o'clcck all were asleep, Fielden acd Schwab in their cells In the second tier having retired before midnight. In tbe first Hash of relief to them, imprisonment for life was a very small matter, and they could sleep in safety. About 4 o'clock Fitcbtr woke, and after refreshing himself with a draft of water, relapsed into slumber. Not many minutes from G o'clock came daylight, cold and pitiless as the law about to be avenged, and a bustle different from that of the nif ht invadtd the seclusion of the prison. The day of the hanging had arrived. Six o'clock came and the rumblicg of wagons, the blowing of whistles and the ringing of bells told that the people outside were astir. But the Anarchists slept on. THEIR LAST A WAKEKIJCH. It was just fifteen minutes to seven

when Engel awoke. Within the next fifteen minutes his three doomed companions opened their eyes. They tumbled out of their cots and hastily dressed themeelvts. No conversation took place between the Anarchists and their guards. Spies and Parsons bade them good bye, and in a few minutes the deputies emerged from the cell room. They were relieved by others. Fischer was tbe first one to emerge from bis cell. Accompanied by two deputies be stepped over to the plain iron sink and tcok a good wash. Iiis every movement was closely watched. Spies next performed his ablutions and seemed to enjov them. Oid man Kogel followed the joung Anarchist, and the last to wash waa Parsons. At 7:20 two waiters from Martell'e restaurant btocght to the prisoners their breakfasts. The edibles were carried in a Iaige, new clothes basket, and the linen and tableware looked bright and clean. A little incident occurred when Parsons sttprfd out to wash himself, which was described by Lieutenant Langhlin. All the other Anarchists contented themselves with washing at the tap, but when Parsocs walked up to the sink, he exClaimed: "I see no wash basin here. I am accustomed to washing in a baslo, and I want one now." His manner was extremely defiant, but though he reiterated his request for tbe bas n in gruff ton, he did not get the de3ired u ten ill. II, by far, exhibited the most bravado of any of the Anarchists. The active preparations for the execution began at 8 o'clock, when Bilitl Cahill arrived at the jail and assigned the deputy sherifls to their various positions during the event. Itwas announced that Jailer Fclz, with Deputies Galpin, Speers and Cleveland would conduct the prisoners to tbe scaffold and superintend the actual hanging. Deputy Leihrandt, with Deputies Fusick, Banks, Carney, Mahler and Johnson were assigned to guard the main entrance to the Criminal Court building. The duty of taking pastes was given to Deputies Burke and Peters. To guard the stairs and court yard were assigned Deputies Mosher, Casey, Stewart, Josephson, Giiday, Gets, Santa, Duryea and Baumeartcn. Inside the jail proper were placed Deputies Frake, Uarthe, Beers, Gross, Hamilton, Morgan, Foley, Scanlon, McCartney, Brainerd, Healy. Fries, Lynch, Dooley, Walbridge, Wall, Kerns and Price. THE SPIRITUAL ADVISOR The Rev. Dr. Bolton arrived at 7:45, an 1 after depositing bis satchel on a chair and hanging up hia overcoat in the jail office, passed into the cell room. Passing first ibto Parsons' cell, he attempted to engage the doomed Texan In religions conversation. Parsons had not yet finished his breakfast. What passed between them was not divulged. In the meantime Spies had called for paper and envelopes, and when they were furnished him he began writing, fie was Interrupted by the sheriff, who accosted him and stoad in front of the cell door while they talked. The sheriff took notes of the conversation and then passed on. After a stay of eighteen minutes in Parsons' cell. Dr. Bolton emerged, and walking to Spies' door stood looking at that individual, who glanced at the clergvman and continued bis writing. Dr. Bolton remained standing in front of Spies' door two or three minutes, but, receiving no recognition, walked away. "Writing materials were furnished to Parsons and Fischer, who immediately set about preparing statements. Engel made no request for pen or paper, but sat stolidly on his bed looking at the opposite wall of hia cell. The clergyman passed art und into the north corridor, aud from the gallery over-looking the scaffold took a view of that grim structure. Then he returned and paced nervously backward and forward in front of the cells contain leg the fated four Anarchists. It was now 8:30 a. m., and not thirty feet away from the coming vie tl ans, the massive iron barred door was clanging con atantly, admitting crowds of newspaper men and deputy sherlO, crowding the little rcom almost to suffocation, aud In ;BtinueU7Upi;i

foronic Catarrh 19 Itff.irr.mntion tl tbe trmwris membrane, attended with increaed tecretUm. Tbns catarrh may affect the head, throat. Stomach, bowels, or any part ef the body where the mucous membrane is found. But catarrh of tbe bead is by far the most common, coming n so gradually that often its presence is not suspected till it bas obtained a rm bold cn its victim. It is caused by a cold, or a succession of colds, combined with Impure Blood. . When firmly established the disease Is exceedingly disagreeable, causing flow from the nose, dryness of the throat, headache, loss of appetite, roaring and buzzing noises in the cars, etc. In Hood's Sarsaparilla may be found a prompt aud pcrmaucut cure for catarrh. It purifies and enrkbes the blood, soothes and rebuilds the diseased membrane, and thus soon cures the disease. At the same time it refreshes and tones the whole system. The remarkable success of this peculiar medicine entitles it to your confidence. Give IIocd8 Sarsaparilla a trial.
