THE ANARCHISTS.

JTustaoe Harlan Refuses to Grant a Writ of Error, And Refers Counsel to the Whole CourtExtra Guard Around the Chicago Jail— The Proceedings. Long before half past 10 o’clock,Friday morning, which was the hour set for the hearing of an application for a writ of error in the Chicago anarchist cases, the conference room of the United States Supreme Court, in the basement of the capitol at Washington, was uncomfortably crowded with lawyers and newspaper men, who were waiting to hear the proceedings. John Randolph Tucker. General Roger A. Pryor, General B. F. Butler, Cantain Black and all of the other counsel for the condemned prisoners were present and in whispered consultation, but at half past 10 neither Justice Harlan nor the record" in the cases had arrived. Five minutes later however, two men came in carrying with difficulty, a large, blue tin covered trunk corded with half inch rope,which contained the voluminous record, and under the weight of which the bearers visibly staggered, At twenty minutes to 11 Mr. Justice Harlan entered the conference room, end after greeting the counsel and directing that all newspaper men be allowed to come in and take such places as best suited their convenience, he seated himself at his desk and estk L e<-i for attention. —As soon as Hre room had become qiiiet, Justice Harlan, without waiting for any formal motion or application from the prisoners’ counsel, said with slow, deliberate enunciation : <Thisißan application for a writ of error to bring up for review by the Supreme Court of th* United States a judgment of the Supreme Court of th.e State of Illinois, involving the liberty of one of the petitioners and the lives of the others. The time fixed for-executing the sentence of death in, 1 atn informed, the 11th day of November. Under the circumstances it is my duty »o facilitate sn early decision of any question in th* case of which the Supreme Court of the United States may properly take cognizance. If I »bo<ld allow a writ of error, it is quite certain that eonnsei would h»ve to repeat before that *ourt the argument which they propose now to make before me. On the other hand, if I should refuse the writ, tire defendants would be at liberty to renew their application lx-fore any other justi** of tlie Supreme Court, and as human life and liberty are involved, that justice might feel obliged.notwithstanding a previous refusal of »h* writ to look into the case and determine for himself Whether a writ of error should b* allowed. If he also "refused, the defendants could tak* th* papers to some other member of the court and so on until every justice had been applied io, or until some justice granted the writ. In this w»y it is manifest that delays might o*c.ur that would be very embarrassing in view of th* short tim* intervening between this day and the dat* fixed for *arrying into *ffect the judgment of the State *ourt. As the ease is one of a very s*rious character, in whatever a-pect it may be regarded, I deem it proper to make an order, which I now do, that counsel presentthis applieation to the court in open session, to the end that early and final action may be had upon the question whether that courti has jurisdiction to review the Judgment in this case. There is no reaeoa why it may not be presented to the court at its session to-day. Counsel may state that the publication 1* made to the court pursuant to my direction. Application to the United States court Tor a writ of error Tn the anarchists’ case was made in open court shortly after noon Friday by General Pryor. The points upon which he relied to show that the cases involved federal questions which would give this court jurisdiction were: (1) That the statute of Illinois relating to the impaneling'of juries makes it possible to 'try the prisoners with a partial and prejudiced jury, as was in fact done in this case, and that such a sta’ute is' obnoxious to the federal constitution; and (J) That the prisoners were compelled to testify against themselves, and criminate themselves, and that criminating evidence against them was obtained by the police from their private desks without search warrants in violation of the constitutional provisions that a man shall not be deprived of life, etc , without due pro-' cess of law. The court directed Mr. Pryor to have printed at once the parts of the record which presented these questions and have the printed copies ready for submission to the court Friday -orearly Saturday morning. ■ y .. li I? 1 .

An organized effort, headed by several of the most prominent and wealthy men of Evansville, has been inaugurated for the suppression of violations of the whisky laws of that city. Two of the police commissioners are prominent Germans, and the saloon keepers feel confident they will not be molested by their verdict; on the other hand, the prominent citizens who have under taken to have the law enforced have declared their intention to resort to extreme measures.

Church has finally accepted the munificent gift of Elijah Hayes and wife, of Warsaw, Kosciusko county, of propertyvalued at $130,000 in that city and vicinity. Among the numerous provisions made with the gift was one that the property should remain intact for fifty years, and that the rents and profits only should be used for thatperiod. The Board feared that the property would depreciate in value after the demiae-nf. Mr. Hayes, and desired that the objectionable clause be abrogated with his death. Messrs. Fitzgerald and Reid, members of the Board, were sent out to Warsaw two weeks ago to consult with Mr. Hayes and secure a change in the provisions,in accorcance with the wishes of the Board. It is understood that Mr. Hayes agreed to the change. Chaplain McCabe writes that the Hayes gift is the most magnificent one ever made to his society.

AWFUL BRUTALITY.

A Frightful Story ot Savage and D«v. ijish Inhumanity, A Sick Coni -Benver Buried onder Live Coals by the Chief Engineer of aSteaui■hip and Roaited to Death* Upon the arrival at Galveston, Texas, of - the Mallory steamship Comal, New York, Wednesday, the master of the vessel, Captain John Risk, reported that a coal-handler, Jolin H. Graham, of New York, had died of overheat and cramps, and was buried at, sea. This was the substance of Captain Risk’s report at the naval office, as required by the United States statute in such cases. Nothing more was thought of the matter during the day, and no suspicion of foul play existed at the custom house. It was therefore a matter of very great surprise when later one of the coal handlers, named Riley, who made the trip- with Graham, visited the office of the United States Commissioner and made affidavit charging Wm. R. McCullough,, chief engineer of the Comal, with the wilful murder of Graham. Riley’s story, for savage and devilish surpasses belief. In eubslanse he swears that he was working in Ine same watch with Graham. When they were four days out from New York, Graham'while in the fire-room at work,, 'complained to him (Riley) and others of being sick and unable longer to hold up bis end. • Shortly after this, Chiftf Engineer McCullough found Graham lying down, apparently sleeping, whereupon the engineer remarked, “I’ll wake you up.” Suiting the action to the word, he deliberately tooK a large shovel, and scooping it full of red-hot coals from the furnace, he poured them over the prostrate form of the sick man, and followed up the work" by beating and abusing Graham as he lay writhing under the burning coals. Riley further swears that within fifteen minutes after Engineer McCullough assaulted Graham the latter was a corpse, and was immediately removed tojthe engineer’s room and laid upon a grating. Perhaps the most extraordinary statement made by Riley is that the body of the dead man was kept on ice until the steamship was within twelve hours’ run of Galveston, and then buried at sea. The commissioner immediately issued a warrant, charging McCullough with murder on the high sea, and he was arrested while aboard the vessel by a deputy United States marshal and committed to jail. Five witnesses were also arrested to await the sitting of the federal grand jury. Engineer McCullough is ab jut forty-three years old and is a resident of New York City.

A STATUE OF LINCOLN.

.Eli Mate's ®4ft to the City of Chicago. The ceremony of the unveiling of the statue of Abraham Lincoln, which took place at Chicago, Saturday, drew an immense concourse of people to Lincoln park. This notable work is the gift of the late Eli Bates, of Chicago, who in his will bequeathed 540,000 for its erection. It is a most admirable presentment of the form and features of the martyred President. It is of heroic size, measuring from foot to crown nearly twelve feet. Mr. St. Gaudons, the sculotor by whom it was designed, has devoted three years to its completion. The figure stands detached before a chair of state, as though the President had just arisen to receive a petition or a delegation. The left leg is advanced,the body resting mainly on the right. The left hand grasps the lapel of the long frock coat, which is unbuttoned, and the right hand is held with the arm at length behind the body. The head is inclined slightly forward. The statue was unveiled and formally presented to the people at 3 o’clock by Thomas F. Withrow, on behalf of the Bates bequest. Young' Abraham Lincoln, a grandson of the President, and son of Robt. Lincoln, witndrew the veil from the figure- Hon. W. C. Goady, repreresenting the board of park’commissioners, accepted the gift, and Leonard Swett delivered an oration on Abraham Lincoln. The exercises were alike interesting and impressive. Seats were erected in the park for 1,000 specially invited guests, including many of the more prominent residents of the city and State, as well as visitors from abroad. The figure is in bronze, and is said to be the finest and most artistic achievement in sculptor’s art yet attained by an American artist. Shocking Tragedy in lowa.

Ackers was a shiftless fellow, who had been for some time an object of suspicion, bat no on© expected any such startling tragedy as came. STORM ON THE LAKES. Several Ships Lost and Much Suffer! Rn A gale and snowstorm of great magnitude set in on the lakes early Sunday morning and continued throughout the day. The wind blew forty-five miles an hour and the blinding snow storm made navigation exceedingly dangerous. The steamer George Sherman struck Shot Point, ten miles from Marquette, Mich., and became a total wreck The crew were saved. The Alva Bradley struck near the same place, and wasalso wrecked, with no loss of life. The crew of the. Sherman, after regphin j land, wandered around in the woods several hours, suffering intensely from the j enow and cold. They finally reached a ra l-oad flagged a train and were carried to Marquette.

Washburne, ex-min-ister to France, and one of the most distinguished men brVie West, die.l at the home of his son in Chicago, Saturday afternoon, of congestion of the heart and brain.

Mr. Washburne was born in Maine in 1816, and from a farmer’s boy rose to a printer’s apprentice,then a lawyer,States man and diplomate. Honesty, integrity and ability marked his whole career. He was elected to Congress in 1852 from the Galena, 111., district, where he settled in 1840, and served in Congresa continuously “ until -1869. During the war legislation he so persistently and determinedly opposed and fought steals and jobs that he earned the'name of the “Watch-dog jof the Treasury.” Mr. Washburne was always a warm admirer of General Grant, and the first act of General Grant after he became President, was to appoint Mr. Washburne Secretary of State. 11l health, however, soon compelled Mr. Washburne to resign that position, and he accepted the post of minister to France, wb filled with marked ability for nim and resigned on the election of Zj-. Hayes. X The State departments at Washington were dosed to public business,Thursday, the day of the funeral, out of respect to the memory of the late Mr. Washburne.
