IT WAS A HOAX.

Alleged Attempt o. the Life of V. 8. Supreme Judge Waite. An appalling if not sensational story from Washington was printed in the daily newspapers Friday, givnig the particulars of an alleged attempt on the life of Chief Justice Waite of the United States Supreme Court. The affair was a hoax gotten up by S. G. Hopkins and A. B. Sperry for the purpose of selling the story to the newspapers. The storv was as follows: • & About haH paetsix a small box was sent to his house through the special delivery postal service. It was a pasteboard box about ten inches by six, looking something like a valentine box, and was addressed in a small cramped and apparently disguised backhand writing, “To The Hon. Chief Justice Waite, No. 1,415 I Street, N. W., Washington, D. 0.” Near the bottom were the words: “Important papers,” underscored. The thing enclosed was a glass tube about ten inches long and of the diameter of a lead pencil. The tube was bent at an angle of about sixty degrees and was fastened to the box by means of small nieces of heavy paper pasted over it. The tube for most of the length contained a jet black fluid, but about one and-adialf inches from theend was a percussion cap separating the fluid from a little more than an inch of coarse powder, apparently what is known as Atlas powder. At the other’ end of the powder was another percussion cap, and to this was attached the wire which was apparently intended to explode the tube. The wire was joined to a small rubber band, fastened to one side of the box, and another wire ran from the rubber toa hook and eye which was held in place by a piece of paper pasted over it. When Chief-justice Waite received the bQx he immediately opened it. By providential dispensation the wire, which was fastened to the top of the box, had become detached and the lid was removed without pressing upon the cap. It is supposed that in stamping the box, which always occasions a jar, the wire had become detached, thus saving the life of the Chief-justice. By the confession of Hopkins it was found the package contained only ink and a very small quantity of powder, just sufficient to burst a phial and alarm the person who might open the package. Sperry is the party who called at the Chief Justice’s residence Thursday evening and inquired whether a mysterious looking package had been received. Both Hopkins and Sperry were immediately arrested, charged with conspiracy to dafraud tho newspaper correspondents, and by the time the fellows get through with the courts it may not be a veny funny matter.

The Gov rnor Kissed the General.

Governor J. B. Morgan, of Georgia, addressed a large audience at Cleveland, 0., Tuesday night. At the end of his speech he offered to answer any questions that might be asked him. “What have you to say of General Jackson’s speech at Macon?” inquired a man in the audience. “Nothing,” said Governor Gordon. “Do you consider it treasonable?” asked the man. “I have nothing to say,” was the Governor’s reply. General C. W. Morgan, of Mount Vernon, introduced the Governor. General Morgan closed his eulogy referring to the stars and stripes, saying that it was the only flag. Just then Governor Gordon walked rapidly to where General Morgan was standing •nd kissing him directly in the mouth.

THAT AWFUL EVENT.

The Hanging ot the Seven Chicago Anarchists on the 11th. OnnMMbr Picked Men'WUh Picked Wincheaters—The Scaffold—Spies, Fielden and Schwab Ask Clemency. On Friday, Nov. 11th, the seven condemned Chicago anarchists, will hang. Two full companies (fifty-four) of policemen are now quartered in the Chicago jail near the anarchists’ cells, each armed with a Winchester rifle. These men will remain in the building until after the 11th. At this time everything is quiet. The Sheriff is building the scaffolds, of which there will be three. August Spies, Samuel Fielden and Nicholas Schwab signed a petition, Thursday afternoon, humbly begging the Governor to commute tbeir sentences.«, These three of the seven condemned men are the only ones who have not written letters to the Governor that they would not accept commutations of their sentences, and that all efforts in that direction were without their sanction. The signatures of Fie Men and Schwab were secured Thursday morning by Captain Biack and L. D. Oliver, who visited the prisoners at the jail and had private conferences with them. All sorts of entreaties were adopted to get Spies to sign the petition, but he resolutely refused to do so, as did also Lingg, Engel, Fisher and Parsons. At 3:30 p. m. the same petitions were brought to the jail by Dr. Schmidt, Aiderman Frank Staub f er and H. Linnemyer, with permission from the ■heriff to confer with the condemned men. George Schilling arrived laterand joined the party. It was plain that Spies had weakened sines the morning. Reread the petition over several times. After an hour’s pleading, Spies said: “Well, give me a pen,” and with a flourish his name was appended. Over 100 persons will carry the petitions to the Governor. Extraordinary efforts are being made by the friends of the men to create a sentiment favorable to them that it may be used with the Governor. It is suggested that the wives and children of the anarchists will call upon him with the delegation with the petitions. It is claimed that nearly 200,000 signatures have been secured, asking a commutation of sentence. The Arbeiter Zeitung condemns the condition of the Supreme Court and claims it “splutters with mud the good name of the Republic.” Ingersoll declines to intercede with - Governor Oglesby in behalf of the condemned men. He says he is not in favor of anareny.

The decision of the United States Supreme Court upon the petition for a writ of error in the case of the Chicago Anarchists was announced Wednesday evening by Chief Justice Waite in along and carefully-prepared opinion, which occupied thirty-five minutes in the reading. The court holds, in brief: (1) That the first ten amendments to the constitution are limitations on federal and not upon State action. (2) That the jury law of Illinois, upon its face,is valid and constitutional, and that it is similar in its provisions to the statute of Utah which was sustained in the case of Hoyt vs., the Territory of Utah. (3) That it does not appear in the record that upon the evidence the trial court should have declared the juror Sanford incompetent. (4) That the objection to the admission ot the Johann Most letter and the cross examination ot Spies, which counsel for the prisoners maintained virtually compelled them to testify against themselves, were not objected to in the trial court, and that, therefore, no foundation was laid for the exercise of this court’s jurisdiction; and (5), that the questions raised by General Butler in the case of Spies and Fielden upon the basis of the foreign nationality were neither raised nor decided in the State courts, and therefore cannot be considered Here. The writ of error prayed for must consequently be denied. There was no dissenting opinion.

The News in Chicago. The first news of the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of the anarchists was taken to the Cook county jail by a reporter a few minutes after it had been received from Washington. Jailer Folz was in his office, tipped back in his chair, and about to light his cigar. When the reporter told him the news he deliberately struck a match, lit his cigar, and said; “Well, U is just what we expected.” There were no visitors at the jail Wednesday, and all the prisoners were iii their cells when the news arrived. A note was sent up to Spies telling him that the writ had been denied, and asking if he had any statement to make in regard to the matter. Spies was sitting in his cell, busily engaged with some manuscript. He read the note and returned it with a short “I have nothing to say.” None of the other men would say anything, either. Louis Lingg, Adolph Fischer and George Engel, three of the condemned Anarchists, have written open letters to Gov. Oglesov protesting against a commutation of sentence and demanding, as Parsons has done, “either liberty or death.” Engel says: “I am not aware of having violated any law of this country. In my firm belief in the Constitution which the founders- of this Republic bequeathed to this people, and which remains tin: altered, I have exercised the right of free speech, and have eritiefsed the existing condition of society, and sought to succor my fellow-citizens with my advice, which I regard as the right of every honest citizen. The powers that be mav murder me, bat they eannot legally punish me.”

Lingg says He “called the oppressed masses to oppo'-e the force of their oppressors with force, in order to attain a dignified and manly existence by sectiring the full returns of their labor. This and only this, is the crime 'proved against me.” " Fischer says: “I am no murderer, and cannot apologize for an action of which I know I am innocent; and'shnrtld T ask, ‘mercy’ on account of my principles, which I honestly believe to be true and noble? No. 1 am no hypocrite, and have, therefore, no excuse to offer with regard to being an Anarchist, because the experiences of the past eighteen months have only strengthened my convictlbns.” Fischer denies that he is responsible for the death of the policemen at the Haymarket, and closes his letter with along statement about the condition of society and the immense dissatisfaction among the working people.

Failed to Impress the Officers. Friday night Nina Van Zandt and her mother called on Captain fichaax and officers at the Chicago avenue station. Miss Van Zandt presented a petition to Gov. Oglesby asking for commutation of the sentence on the anarchists, and requested the captain to sign it. She pleaded with him for over twenty minutes, but the doughty police official declined to attach his signature. The girl asked and obtained permission to solicit the officers in the station for their names, but failed to secure a single one. Before leaving she distributed a number of Trumbull’s pamphlets, “Was It a Fair Trial?” and left a lot more of them on the sergeant’s desk, by whom, at Schaak’s command, they were promptly consigned to the waste basket as soon as she had left the building.

Socialistic Threat.. At a crowded meeting of the Progressive Labor party in Germania Assembly rooms, New York, S. E. Sh evil ch’, editor of the Leader, made a speech in which he said: “I am expected to make a campaign speech, but I can’t bring myself to speak calmly. This is Friday, November 4th, and on Friday, November 11th, the greatest crime and most atrocious murder ever perpetrated is fixed to fake place at Chicago. But I tell you, if this crime of base murder is committed, the end will soon follow. If the heroes are hanged, the days of all those concerned in the outrageous mur-' det; will be reckoned, and the day will not be far off when they will have to answer for the blood theV shed by every spark of life in their worthless bodies. [Loud cheers, and cries of “Kill theml” “Dynamite!”] Let them hang. Seven men’s lives will not harm our cause. Let them kill seventy—seven thousand, and out of their graves seven millions of others will arise. I tell you, if these men are hanged next Friday, thousands of times worse than our late civil war will follow. We will not see it done wiithout acting.”

BOMBS IN THEIR CELLS.

A Startling Discovery In the Chicago Jail— Oglesby Threatened. The cells of the seven condemned anarchists in the Chicago jail were searched, Sunday, and six loaded bombs were found hidden away in a wooden box which was concealed under a pile of newspapers in a corner. Some time ago Sheriff Matson decided to search and clean out. the cells of the seven distinguished prisonersand Sunday was set for the examination. Word was sent by the Sheriff to the friends of the condemned saying that no admittance would be given and the entire fbfce of deputy sheriffs reported at the jail for duty. It was shortly after 9:30 o’clock when Lingg and Engel were led from their cells to the consultation cage and the search began. Engel’s cell was first entered and thoroughly examined, but beyond a few empty cigar boxes, some fruit, books and papers, nothing was found. Then the deputy sheriffs entered Lingg’s cell, while its former occupant planted himself in a corner of his temporary prison and watched them with eager eyes. He was as pale as death and trembled like an aspen leaf as the searchers moved around in the little stone-walled room. Suddenly two of the three men inside jumped out to the corridor, while a third man held at arm’s length a small wooden box which he carried carefully to the jail office and laid it on jailer Folz’s desk. The box contained six pieces of gas pipe, each about six or seven inches in length, filled with some heavy substance and plugged at both ends. Jailer Folz picked up one which was closed at one end with a round iron stopper, and one of the officers pronounced it a veritable dynamite bomb. Just then Sheriff Matson arrived at the jail and ordered that the dangerous weapons bp replaced in the box and sent to a chemist tor analysis, though there was no doubt as to the result of the examination. Then the search was continued, but beyond a quantity of rubbish nothing was found. Then the eells of Fisher, Parsons, Spies, Schwab and Fielden were searched in the order named, but no contraband articles of any kind were found. It wM decided, however, that it wks best to change the cells, and accordingly four apartments in the lower tier were leaned out. Number 11, which is directly in front of the entrance to the jail, and between

two rows of iron gratings, in which space three men are on gu vrd night and day, was prepared for Lingg’s rei»ption, and there the bomb manufacturer was locked up. He was given his bed, books, table and writing material, but everything else was kept from him. He immediately sat down and began to write, keeping at work all day until it was too ’erk to see therifl Matson was seen on the subject during the afternoon. He was very reticent at first, but after consideration made a clean breast of the whole affar. “We had no reason,” he said, “to make the search at this particular time. That is, we received no intimation that anything was wrong. It was merely a precautionary measure decided upon some time ago by Jailer Folz and myself. We selected Sunday as a quiet day when the examination would make less disturbance than if it were made on a week day. For some time there was so much of this amnesty business going bn, that I did not care to interfere with the good citizens who were interested in the condemned men or place any obstacle in their way. But we felt as though the time had come to take extra precautions, and so decided to clean the cells out. Of course, in view of the developments of the search, the most stringent precautionary measures will now be taken. The prisioners will not be allowed to exercise as much as formerly, and the number of vis : tors will be restricted. No one will be allowed to visit any of the condemned in the cages, and if any interviews aro granted it will be only to near relatives and in .the presence of a jail official. I wont say that every visitor will be searched, but there will be no opportunity for any exchange of anything whatever between the prisoners and outsiders. As for Lingg, I don’t know that he will be allowed to see any one, but have not fully decided upon that point. Henceforth no victuals or baskets of fruit will be allowed to be sent from any of the prisoners’ friends to them, and no letters or dispatches will be received or sent until they are examined by a jail official.” The news of the finding of the bombs spread like wild-fire. A universal reaction of the amnesty sentiment was immediately apparent. Hundreds of citizens who had signed the petitions for clemency regretted their action and. wished they had never appended their names to the paper. Twenty of the officers of the Central Detail were in a squad room when a reporter entered and told them the news. Instantly there was a storm of indignation. The word “bombs” recalled to them the scene of the Haymarket, and there was but one expression of comment on the subject. One lieutenant sarcastically remarked: “Well, they ought to pardon Lingg, anyway.” The genera] opinion around the police stations was whatever might be the fate of the others, Lingg’s doom was sealed, and he would have to go to the gallows. It is doubtful if the condemned men will longer be allowed to enjoy the privilege of reading the daily papers. It was suggested to the Sheriff that the advertising columns might easily be as a means of communication in cipher between them and outsiders, and in all robability they will be deprived of their principal pleasure. The bombs were placed in the hands of Captain Schaack for examination and he reported that they appeared to have been designed for use by some of the condemned men as agents of destruction. He said that they differed materially in make up from any he had before examined, and he would be willing to have one of them exploded in an adjoining room, as they could do no serious harm to the surroundings. From his knowledge of the methods of making bombs for various purposes, Captain Schaack gave it as his opinion that the bombs found in Lingg’s cell were intended to be used only as a means of cheating the gallows. It was doubtless the intention of Lingg, as well as the other three, to put one end of the bomb in his mouth and light the fuse, just as he would a cigar. The resultant explosion, it was believed, would prove fatal. Before hearing the result of Captain Schaack’s examination, Sherifl Matson and some of bis deputies had reached similar conclusions. The Sheriff said the fact that there were four of the bombs seemed at once to be a reminder that four of the condemned men had refused to ask for a commutation of sentence.

BNGBL ATTBMPTB BUICIDB. Not ttie least remarkable phase of the bomb discovery is that it came about from the fact that George Engel attempted suicide Sunday night by taking an ounce of laudanum. About 11:20 o’clock Emil Zoener, who is on the night death watch, passed Engel’s cell and was attracted by groans coming from within. On stopping to enquire the cause, he found Engel breathing heavily and ~ lying prostrate on his back. He called him by name but received no answer, and on opening the cell door .discovered that the man was unconscious and suffering from the effects of some stupefying drug. After repeated attempts to awaken the sleeping man, Zoener became alarmed and decided to call in Dr. Gray from the insane ward in the same building. Dr. Gray was sent for im mediately. On going to Engel's cell the doctor soon discovered th? t Engel was suffering from poison. His eyes were dilated and rolled spasmodically. Dr.

Gray at once commenced active work on his patient. As soon as Engel came to his senses he raved and cursed at beiiig disturbed in his sleep, and asked the reason pf his being awakened. He protested that he had only drank a little whisky and was all right. His condition and subsequent events showed that Engel was deliberately lying, and that in the face of death. He was at once forced to take emetics and kept constantly walking for an hour until all danger had passed. From th it time on the surveillance oyer him was not relaxed for an instant. The attempted suicide of Engel is what led to the search of the cells in the morning. Besides the discovery of explosives among the effects of Lingg, there was fqund in Engel’s cell the bottle from which he had taken the laudanum. It was concealed in the urinal. Three or four drops of laudanum still remained <n the bottle, and Engel was confronted with the evidence of his intended suicide. He continued to denv but at last sullenly admitted the truth of the accusation. He had preferred death by his own hand, he eaid, to any carrying outof a sentence under the law. Engel stubbornly refused to disclose how he obtained the poison The bottle affords nd clue, and like Lingg’s dynamite the source of the poison is a mystery. THRBATENING THE GOVERNOR. It has just transpired to-night that Governor Oglesby has within the past few days received several communications threatening violence if he refuses to exercise executive clemency in behalf of the .condemned anarchists. This news only leaked out to-night, but comes from a source that is considered most re--1 iable. One of the anonymous letters dated from Chicago, is .said to boldly threaten the Governor with death in case he permits the anarchists te be hanged. Governor Oglesby has endeavored to keep this news from reaching the ears ot his iamilv, as he desires to spare them all alarm. The first of these threatening epistles was received some days ago and was the cause of the Governor deciding to refuse the press access to the correspondence and petitions in the anarchist case. It has been daily remarked by the friends of Governor Oglesby that ever since executive clemency has become the last resort of the anarchists the Governor has worn a somewhat careworn and anxious expression. While he is certainly not a coward, it is thought the receipt of these threatening communications and the consciousness of his temble responsibility has produced this alteration ip the Governor’s demeanor.

Indiana Crop Average.

The agricultural department, notwithstanding occasional criticisms, continues to issue its statistical information with persistant regularity. It is information, too, that seems to be readily devoured; a fact, perhaps, strange when its dryness is considered, and the officials of th® department stand ready to wager a bag of seed that the figures are facts and not fiction. Here are some local to Indiana as gathered and prepared by the statistician. The following, be says, are the estimates of the average yield and condition of the crops of the Slate: Wheat—Average yield per acre, stated in bushels, 15.5; average quality, 100 representing high medium grade, 96. Rye—Average yield per acre in bushels, 13.9; average quality, 100 representing high medium grade, 95; Oats—Average yield yer acre in bushels, 26; average quality, 100 representing high medium grade, 95. BarleyAverage yield per acre in bushels, 18; average quality, 100 representing high medium grade, 94. Buckwheat —Average condition 75. Corn —61. White Potatoes—43. Sweet Potatoes—7o. Sorghum—s 6.

Wholesale Poisoning.

On the evening of Oct. 28, George 0. King, living near Lamar, La., gave a dance and supper at his residence. After supper was nearly over all the gues were taken violently ill. A doctor was sent for who said the sickness was caused by poison, but was unable to render any relief. Since that time eight persons poisoned have died, and twenty or more others are still sick, and some of them will hardly recover. No motive can be assigned for the deed.

Death from Loekjaw.

Wm. Dale Riley, formerly of Shelbyville, died at Greensburg, Thursday morning, of lockjaw, after intense suffering. Several days prior to his death his hand was crushed, but he refused to have it amputated, and said to his attending physician that if his hand had to go he preferred to go with it. - .
