Dr Mayo, tne assistant onniy physican, p issed throngh and rapidly walked fc ch cells of the condemned. He asked each if there was any desire for stimulants, and all, save Bngel atone, J-eplied quietly in the negative. Engel asked for some port wine. It ws given him at once and he gulped tiown three large glasses. Spies re jested water, and seemingly consumed by a burning thirst swallowed nearly Wo tumblers of the pure, cool liquid.. Bev. Dr. Bolton, arrived at 7:45, and depositing-his satchel on a chair and hanging up his overcoat in the jail office, passed into the cell-room. Passing first into Paiaons's cell, he attempted to engage the doomed Texan in religious conversation. Parson had not yet finished his breakfast. What passed between them was not divulged. In he meantime Spies had called for paper and envelopes, and when thev were

was interrupted by the sheriff who ac

They declined to do this, and becoming very violent in their talk, wore arrested without further ceremony and taken to the police station. There was no expression or demonstration of sympathy on the part of the crowd, THE LAST HOtfR following close upon a telegraphic report from Springfield that Governor Oglesby had decided once for all, the deputies commenced, at 10:27 o'clock, distributing tickets to reporters who were to watch the march to the gallows. The greatest bustle and excitement prevailed in the jail office, but Spies, in his cell, continued writing uninterruptedly, and the others remained equally nonchalant, notwithstanding the confusion

. that marked the beginning of the end.

The repieeentatives of the press were conducted to the north corridor and seated within a few ..feet of the scaffold. At 10.55 fully 350 newspaper men, local politicians and other, among them the twelve jurors who were to view the

bodies after the executio n, had passed ,

under the gallows and began seating themselves. The bailiff said a few words to the journalists, beeing them to make no rush when the drop feU,but to vait decently ami in order. Parsons was given a cup of coffee a

Dr. Bolton was in danger of becoming Involved in a religious controversy, iewthe condemned man boldly combatted the propositions of- the divine. Within a few minutes of t a message 'came from Mrs. Parsons, trough a :bailh applying at the jail for admis- , sion. The request was refused. . The Governor's decision on the application for executive clemency was brought to Chicago by Governor Oglesby'scon. Deputy Gleasou intercepted messenger on the train near the city Simits, and the official copy was at once brought to the jail by the deputy. At -, iSfclO Deputy Gleason arrived with the fatal documents authorising the execution, and with the commutation uf 8ch wab and Pielden. Gleason immediately went into close conference-with the Sheriff in a private apartment that - was locked and bolted at once on the Inside. While they were still conferring, Spies's internal fever had so increased as 'to induce him to order a glass of Bhine wine, which was brought to his cell and swallowed at a gulp. A few minutes were then occupied by him in writing autographs for officer attached to i the Sheriff's office. . - C It w;as just 9:30 when information ticked from the Associated Press telegraph instrument, a few feet distant from the cells, that Captain Black was at that moment again pleading with Governor Oglesby at Springfield. The 4 snessage was handed into Sheriff Matsonj whoglancert at it a second and then crumpled the paper slowly in his hand. Whatever- the sheriff's : thoughts, no expression of their purport crossed his

dips. Five minutes later the sheriff

. emerged,- and in reply to a chorus of i EnirieSjSaid pleghmatically that he had "not jast rbsea the time as yet." At 10 o'clock. Parsons, Fischer and

8pies asked for twenty minutes each on the gallows in which to make speeches. ; The sheriff did not immediately return an answer to the request. Fischer then began singing the "Marseillaise," in ; which the other prisoners joined. The voice of Fischer seemed round and full.

but quivered just a trifle. The reporters pressed close about the door to the

sage, and listened until the deep tones died away in silence. .. , The manuscript which Spies, Parsons

ana a iscner spent a nortion of the

. morning in preparing were in part written statements, the nature of which

would not be divulged by anv of the

officials These were delivered into the

hands of Clerk Price, who turned them ove" to the sheriff, and this official lock

ed them in his private safe.

It was stated by the sheriff that Spies, Parsons and Fischer had, in addition, written letters which he had also locked no securely. Parson's letter was a dressed to. his wife and children; tihat of Fischer goes to his wife; but the address on that of Spies's the sheriff refus

es to divulge. It is supposed it will reach Nina Van Zan dt. Beiore lO o'clock Dr. Gray went into the prisoner's celis for the second time, bearing in his hands three wine glasses and a bottle of Jarvis. brandy with which to brace up the men, AH of them partook of the stimulant. '' . . Fischer continued to make a display of bravado. Soon after singing the Marseillaise he spoke to Turnkey Stubbe in a laughing way, "When I get to heaven. I'll put in a good word for yon." When Fischer woke up in the inorninghe turnr ed to one of th officers, and said: "I

dreamed about Germany last- night." Then he relapsed into silence for quite a long period! , Engel's daughter applied to the sheriff for permission to visit, her father and say eood- by, but was refused .

chairs, tables and benches continued for several minutSB, but by 11:05 there began to fall a hush, and conversation

whisoer. The bare white-washed walls

made a painlul contrast with the dark brown gallows with its four noosed ropes drooping ominously near .the floor. A gleam of sunshine shooting through the window at that, instant fell on a corneT of the death machine and to a slight degree relieved its sombre hue. At 11:13 the condemned ate their final lunch. The chiej bailiff began at 11:80 to calling out tho names of the persons summoned as jurors, and, bringing them forward to the tow of little stools directly in front of the gallows. No other sounds were heard in the long high corridor but the solemn monotonous voice of the bailiff and the rustling of the jurors as they tiptoed forward through the crowd. The men were placed in their schrouds and the death march began at 11:49. The death warrant was red first to Spies, then Fischer, Bngel and Parsons. Parsons, after tne cap had been placed over his head said: "May I be allowed to speak? Oh, the Blamefulness of strangling free speech." Fischer, Spies and Parsons died very hard. The pulses

stepped peating in 13 J minu tes.

Following are the last words of the

dead anarchists :

The funeral of the five dead Anarchists occurred Sunday. The proceEsion consisted of 8,000 persons, and was made up of men, women and children. The women displayed the Anarchist color largely in their dress, but ncbanners or flags except the American, which was not displayed, were allowed in the pro

quietly together. After this Spies and Fischer were brought from their cells and taken to the jail library. Engel was brought to the private office of Mr. Folz. This was done for the purpose of allowing the relatives to take their last interviews. The first of the women to e rrlve after Mrs. Schwab was Miss Engel, the daughter of the condemned anarchist. When the two met in the private office there was -an outburst of grief which it is impossible to describe. Father and daughter clung to each other aud sobbed convulsively. Their conversation was in Gorman, and was listened to only by Deputy Olesen. Then came Mrs. Spies, the mother of August. She had been wating outside for an hour and ahalf. Her sobs could be heard through the corridors , of the building. She did not stay long in the library with her son, and on her exit

from the jail, Mrs. Fischer was admitted, She went into the library and her lamentations were heard above the tramp of the deputies who swarmed about the place. But the crowning scene of all was the visit of "Nina Van Zandt, the proxy wife of Spies. She was conducted to the library by Dejtuty Oleson. As' she walked througn the main office sbe betrayed no emotion. The moment at which she saw August, however, completely changed her demeanor. There was a look, ihen a gasp, and in a thrice they were in each others arms. A bevy of curious reporters snd officers crowded up to the door of the library, but it was quickly shut by the deputy. The interview between the prisoner aud his devotee lasted, nearly half an hour. What actually transpired will never be known to the world, but it was sufficient to bring a glimering tear to the eyes of the old deputy. In half an hour the lovers had parted and the excitement of the entrance of Nina had passed. E 1 0 &R A PlIICALi Albert R. Parsons, the only one who can be strictly called an American, was a native of Texas. He was a printer. He lived in Chicago for fourteenyeai's. Of the two his wife was much the most bloodthirsty. Samuel Fielden (commuted) is an Boglishman, coining to America m 1866, and to Chicago in 1869. August Spies was a German, coming to America in 1871. George Engel was, also, a native of Germany, and came to America in 1872. Michael Schwab (commuted) is a Bavarian, He came to America in 1S79. Louis Lfngg was only 24 years old, and was a native of Germany. He had been in America four years. Adolph Fischer, German, had been in this; country 16 years. Oscar W. Neebe, sentenced to the penitentiary for fifteen years, was born in Now York in 1850, of German parentage. IiOXJIS IiINGG'S BiEATH. Anarchist JAngg BIotts His Hoad to Piocea With a Fulminating1 Cap.

When the news of the commutation of the" sentence oL Fielden and Schwab was received at the jail there was art ex

i tra6rdinary scene of activity. The news

was sent to the relatives of all the condemned men, and in a short time they began to arrive at the jail. The first of the women to come was Mrs. Schwab.

Tne scene in Line's cell after the explosion was ghastly. Teeth, bite ot jaw-bone, shreds of flesh , and blood were scattered all over the narrow compartment. A little trial of blood marked the way over the stone flagging to the room where Ling? was carried. Within fifteen minutes alter the explosion, Fischer, Parsons and Engel were taken from their cells and searched in the jailer's private office. M) their

clothing was taken from them and new suits, made by the sheriff's orders, were given then. ' All cjay Wednesday it was thought that Linpg acted differently from usual Tuesday night he gave out his "farewell address," which was written for the Alarm, Parson's old paper. In it he recited at length his old grievances. When the explosion occurred, all the anarchist prisoners were on their feet in an instant, and every one oft hem looked stunned and frightened. Jailer Fols ait once gave orders to have everyone of the other cells searched, and Parson's was the firstone. A descent was made upon the cell. The depu ties entered his cell, -took, him by , the wrists and shoulders and led him to Jailer Folx'a private office. There he was detained until his cell was thoroughly searched and nothing found. The ex-editor of the Alarm shivered with mingled excitement, fear and curiosity. His face was white and his eyes looked ready to start from their sockets. He was in hw shirt and trousers, and a wide felt ha t shaded his face. He looked aa if he would have given worlds to know what had happened, but no information was vouchsafed to him. ... - How he secured the cap with which the deed was committed is a myfeteiy, as his ceil and clothing were qgain thoroughly searched Wednesday,, and, to all appearances, the guards that sit in front of his cell have,, watched him every minute and yet the shell was so small aa to have allowed the smuggling of it into the jail without trouble.

compel employers to come to their terms. The agitation had been very active in Chicago, ant! a .general feeling of unrest prevailed. When the first of May arrived, many shops wore closed, and in many others tho men strutk, and all socalled workingmen were out oi employment in many parte of the city. On the afternoon of May 3 the men employed in McCormiek's reaper factory, m the Southwestern part of the city, most oi whom were not members of any of the trades-unions, were set upon by a large body of strikers as they wore leaving the shops, and a lively and bloody skirmish ensued. The police, who were on the alert, hurried to the scene, and with clubs and revolvers soon put the strikers to rout, several of them being very dangerously wounded. That mghta circular headed "Revenge," calling upon the workingmen of all classes to arm and resist the bloodhounds of tho Jaw, and also called a meeting of workmen in Haymarket equate, less than one block distant from the Desplaines police station, was printed and circulated by men on horseback in all ti e parts of the city. Copies of it were printed in the morning papers of May 4, and added to the general feeling of alarm. On the evening of May 4 an immense crowd assembled, pursuant to the call, at the Haymarket. Addresses were made by several speakers, among them August Spies, A. R. Parsons and Samuel Fielden, all ot whom spoke from a wagon standing near the sidewalk, opposite an alley in the rear of Crane Brothers' manufacturing works. Shortly after 10 o'clock, detectives, who had been at the meeting in citizens clothes, reported to Inspector Bonfield, who was in com

mand at the police station, that the speeches were becoming more violent, and the inspector resolved to disperse the meetingV He accordingly called out the large force of policemen whieh had been kept waiting at .the Desplainesstreet station, marched down on the crowd and called upon it in the name of the law to cisperse. The police had proceeded almost to the wagon, where Fielden wTss then speaking, calling upon his hearers to throttle the law, . when f rom the direction of the alley a leaden bomb was thrown into the closed ran ks of the policemen, and exploded with terrific force mortally or dangerously wounding sixty-eight officers. The shattered ranks closed up immediately, and with their revolvers and clubs the officers soon put the crowd to flight. The wounded were gathered up and taken to the station. On the way Officer Matthias Degan, who had been hit in the side with a large piece of the shell, died. The other officers were taken to the county hospital, where, within , the succeeding ten days, six more died. The others all subsequently recovered. On the day following, the police were busy making arrests. . All the more . violent-agitators were sought out and taken into custody. vpies had been the editor of an anarchist paper. Parsons was the editor of the Alarm, another anarchist paper. These men were found in their offices and taken into custody, together with Michael Schwab, a sub -editor of the Arbeiter Zeitung, Spies's paper, and Adolph. Fischer, foreman of the news room. On searching the office, the officers found considerable quantities of dynamite in various forms, and it was taken, together with the pris, oners,to the Central police station.wherthey were locked up. Later in the daye Samuel Fielden, who is a teamster, was found at his home with a bullet

wound in his leg, which he had received ike night before. One other prisoner was taken, and, for some reason never

vet explained, waB allowed to go. His

name was jcuaoipn ocnnauneiu, a brother-in-law ot Schwab, and on the

trial it was proven that he was the man

who threw the bomb. Since that time lie has been a fugitive from justice and has been heard of from time to time in

various countries, though officers and

others who have been on nis track have never vet been able to over take him. Some days later old man Engel, who was known to have been an ardent

sympathizer with the anarchists in

their doctrines, was taxen into custody,

although vigorously protesting his

iniwmce, and in the course ot ilixee or U we weeks Louis Lingg was surprised

in nis own room, on Ambrose street, engaged in the very act of making bombs.

two miles from the Haymarket, aud left them in a hallway; that several people subsequently called and helped them

also from a chemical analysis of portions

of the bomb that were taken from tne

bodies of the wounded officers that its

shell was composed of identically the same material as that of the bombs captured in Lingg's room. jOoe witness swore positively that he saw Spies: light the bomb, and another man, whoso photograph he identified, threw it. The

.photograph was that of Schnaubelt.

rue case was given to rue jury on August 20, the sixtieth day of the trial. The jury retired at 2:30 o'clock and reached its verdict at 10 o'clock in tho evening. The verdict found Spies Schwab, Fielden, Parsons, Fischer, Engel and Lin eg guilty of murder, and fixed the penalty at death. An eighth defendent named Oscar Neebe, who had been active as an agitator, but whose connection with the conspiracy had not been nositivelv roved, was also found

guiltv and sentenced to the penitentirry for fifteen years. Later events are so familiar to the public mind that wo do not repeat them here. Governor Oglefcby-Commutes . tlio S.nlstflC in tlu Coe oC SjUlea ami Schwab. The following is the Governor's deci

Some of" my friends have asked you for an absolute pardon. They feel the injustice done them so in tensely that they cannot reconcile the idea of a commutation of the sentence with the consciousuca of innocence. The others, among them myself) while possessed of the same feeling of induruatiou, can, perhaps, more calmly and-dispassionately look upon the matter as it stands. They di nol disregard the fact that ihrouuka systematic course of lying, distorting, inventing and slandering, the press has succe ded in creating a sentiment of bitterness and hatred among a great portion of the populace that one man, no matter how powerful, how courageous and just he ho, he can not possibly overcome. Thev hold that to overcome that sentiment or influence would almost be an impossibility. Not wishing, therefore, to place your Excellency in a still more embarrassing 'osi tion between the blind fanaticism of a misinformed public on one hand aud justice on the other, they could do to submit the case to you unconditionally. I implore yon not to let this differeuce of action have anv weight v ith you in determining our fate. During our trial the desire of the prosecution to sla . ahter me and let off my co-defendenta with milder puuishmenf was quite appareut and m .i if est, It seemed to me then.and to a great many others, that the proseeu tion would be sat isfled with oue life. State's Attorney Grinnell, in his argument, intimated this very plainly. I aire not to protest my innocence of any crime, and of the one I am accused in particular. I have done that, and leave the rest to the judgment of history But to you I wish to address mvself now, as the alleged arch-conspirator (leaving the fact that I never have belonged to any kind of conspiracy out of the question altogether.) If a sacrifice of life there must be, will not my life suffice. The States Attorney of Cook county asked for no more Take this, thentake my life. I offer it to you that von may sitisfy a semi-barbaric mob, and save 'those of my comrades, i know that everyone of my comrades arc as willing to die, and perhaps more so, than I am. It is not for their sake that I make this proffer, but in the name . of humaui y and progro, in the interest of a peeiceable.if possible, development of the social lorees that are des

tined to lift our race upon a higher and better plane of civilisation, fn the name of the traditions of our country, I beg you to prevent a seven-fold murder of men whose only crime is that thty are idealists; that they long for a bet

Do Not Think for .a Moment that catarrh will in time wear out. The theory is false. Men fry to believe it because it would be pleasant if true, but it is not, as all know. Do not let an acute attack of cold in the head remain unKubdued. It is. liable to develop into catarrh. You can rid yourself of the cold and avoid all chance of catan-h by using Dr Ssge'a Catarrh Remedy. If alreadv afflicted rid yourself of this troublesome disease speedily by the same means. At all druggists. Count your resource?; find out what you are not fit for, and give up wishing for it. 1 Advice to Consumptives, On the appearance of the first symptoms as general debility, loss of appetite, pallor, chilly sensations, followed bv night-sweats and cough prompt measures for relief should be taken. Consumption is a scrofulous disease of the tanas; therefore use the great antiscrofula, or blood purifier and strengthrestorer, Br. Pierce's "Golden Medical discovery. " Superior to cod liver oil as a nmritive, and unsurpassed as a pectoral. For weak lungs, spitting of blood, and kindred affections, it has no equal. Sold by druggists the world or. For Dr. Pierce's treatise on consumption, send 10 cents iu stamps to World's Dispensary Medical Association, 683 Main Street. Buftalo, N. Y.
