Death of Micheel Schwab.

Chicago, June 30.—Michael Schwab, anarchist and old-time labor agitator, died at 3:30 o'clock Wednesday morning in the Alexian Brothers’ hospital. He was a conspicuous figure in the labor troubles that culminated ip the Haymarket square bomb-throwing on May 4, 1880, and was sentenced to die on the same scaffold with the five other convicted leaders—Spies, Parsons, En«el, Fischer and Lingg—but his sentence was commuted, with that of Fielden, to life imprisonment, and ended in a pardon.
