WOLFISH TO THE LAST.

Anarchist Ling Last Moments A Theory About the Four Bombs. The Chicago Tribune says: "lirjgg died feaicL His athletic frame, splendid constitatkm and superabundant vitality survived for more than six hours injuries "which ronld have hilled a weaker man in a third of the time. He was conscious until within ten or twelve minutes of his death, and in full possession of his faculties. When & new face appeared nt the door of the bath-room he invariably looked np with interest. At sueh times hie emotions were plainly to be read in his eyes. His wolfish, tigerish temper lasted as long as he was conscious, and the sight of a jailer's face was sufficient to bring to his eyes a fierce gleam of hatred. Once when an attendant felt to aae if the hot-water bottles at his feet were warm, he drew away his lower limbs with a craick fierce movement and his eyes were as fierce as those of an animal at bay. Still, with all his volfishness, he from time to time indicated to the doctors and attendants what he wanted done. He occasionally motioned for water, and in reply to questions nodded or shook his head. The accepted theory of the finding of the four bombs in Lingg's cell has been that he either intended to destroy the jail or sell bis life dearly by throwing them into a crowd at the first opportunity. The event vt his suicide has probably proved a theory which was at first rejected that Lingg intended to use them to destroy himself alone. He has often said that he would never hang. NATIONAL CROP REPORT. A Poor Quality of Corn Potatoes and Tobacco Meager as to Yield. Thb National Department of Agriculture seporte the yield of corn 19.1T bushels per ana en about 73600,000 acres, or 1,453,00,000 bushels. About 5000,000 acres is reported as abandoned before ripening. On the acreage planted the average would be J8.6 bushels per acre, the same as in 1881. The corn surplus States average slightly less .than in 1881, the thirty-one other States more. The final record will be changed only by slight adjustments. The quality of the crop is much lower than Visual in the dry region, and the proportion of merchantable corn is con--eideraldy below the average. The potato 3ield has been reduced, first by drought

On of the most exciting scenes that ever oeearred in St. Louis, or perhaps any other city, took place at the Union Depot the other day, and for a time created not only a tremendous excitement, but the wildest kind of a scare among the people present.

He was besieged by tho circus men, and after several attempt to capture him and two or three shots being fired at him, he was covered with a tarpaulin end assured. The other animals were captured In th same manner. The Crow Indian troubles in Montana have culminat&d in bloodshed. A dispatch from the agency says: Scout Campbell and Interpreter Tobacco Jake were sent to tho Indian village Saturday, ordering the chiefs to come to General Hugert at head quarters. Pretty Eagle harangued the camp, and Pretty Eagle Tako's Wronkle, Crazy Head, Iron Fork, Dimcing Woman, Kearney, Two Belly, and Spotted Horse rode before to Genera L Ruger's quarters.

You must bring them by 12 o'clook, (To Crazy Head), I want your boy, too. Pretty Eagle and the other chiefs then returned to their camp. The cavalry were drawn up in full field order on the eminence fronting the Indian position. The Indians soon began riding about and singing war songs. At tho end of the time allowed the Indians to come in with the bad young men the cavalry advanced, the infantry took position, and the Indians opened tire.

The discovery of dynamite in the cell of one of the condemned Chicago anarchists was the reigning sensation in Chicago on Sunday the 6th inst, A Chicago special of Monday says: Through the alertness and caution of Sheriff Matson aud Cbief Jailer Folz. of tho County Jail, an immense sensation was occasioned at 9 o'clock yesterday morning by the discovery of four dynamite bombs, loaded, capped, and "fused," and ready to be exploded at a moment's notice, in cell No, 22, ooonpied by Anarchist Louis Lingg. It is almost certain that they were to be used for suicidal purposes by Lingg, Fischer, Engel. and Parsons in case that iov. Oglesby refused to grs-nt them a pardon. The four bombs were mode of ordinary -inch gas-pipe, which instead of exploding would serve the purpose of Run-bar-rels. On one end of each were fixed a oap and fuse, while the other end contained small bolts that would f y out as bulle ts from a gun, from tho force created by the explosion of the cap. From his knowledge of the methods of making bombs for various purposes, Capt, Bchaack gave it as his opinion that t He bombe found in Lingg' cell were intended to bo used, only as a means of cheating the ga lows. Til was doubtless the Intentiou of Lingg, as wel. as of the other three, to put one end of tho bomb in his mouth and light the fuse, just afi he would a cigar. The resultant exi'losior. would, it was believed, prove fatal, John Jambor, who has been on trial a . Racine, charged with attempting to m urder M. M. Secor, ex-Mayor cf the city, with n dynamite bomb, has been found guilty ami sentenced to ten years ii tbe Wisconsin Penitentiary. It has been discovored that Jambor is a cousin of Schnaubelt, wbo is said to have thrown the bomb at tbe Haymarket riot in Chicago. He is a tabid anarchist On going back to his cell, after receiving sentence, Jambor b wallowed a dose of morphine, but by the prompt action of a physician his life was saved. The friends of the condemned anarchists invaded Springfield, IliM on Wednesday, the 9th inst., and besieged Governor Oglesby with their arguments and petitions. The reasons given for the exercise of executive clemency in the case were numerous enough, as no two of the speakers seemed to hold the same views upon th& subject. Capt. Black made tbe opening speech, and waB listened to most resjeuufully by tbe distinguished audience of one. Capt. Black was keyed up to the highest tension, and hi s very soul was arouaed to the task. He is essentially a man of great nervous force, and as hiu passionate utterances fell on the ears of the audience the effect waa clearly perceptible. Gretchen Spies and her friends gave way ta tears, and cried as if their heart-strings would snap. Gen. M. M. Trumbull followed Capt. Black in an earnest plea for mercy. Georga Schilling acted as master of ceremonies and Introduced Mrs. Cora Ii. V. llichmond, a trancs speaker of some notoriety. Her remarks wera in some particulars just a little iJ-timd. - It was not the occasion for an attack against; capital punishment. Hon. . M. Haines was iutroduced and spoke the better port of an hour, and was followed by Senator Streeter. Messrs. William Bailey and John Campbell, representing the labor organizations of Quincy, 111. i made short pleas for mercy. Mr. Oliver, President of the Amnesty Association, : n a short address presented a petition which he said numbered 41,000 signatures. C. Bchuelixiburg, of Detroit, appeared in behalf of foirty-sevexi societies, ten of which were labor organisations. "If you commute the sentence, Governor." said the speaker, 14 your name would be the greatest on earth." Tho Governor re plied, ' "That is of little consequence." Edward Goettsche, representing the PiattDeutsche Gilde, followed with a communication for clemency from his organizntion. h epresentative C. G. Dixon, of the United Lat or party, presented a petition, and Samuel Gompers, President of tho Federation of Trades of the United States and Canada, male a plea in behalf of workin&'men'a interests. Two or three representatives of Knights of Labor Assemblies addretised the Governor in behalf of the condemned men, and George Schilling made the closing a, ieal. When the Governor retired to hi private oiftce George Schilling accompanied the family friends cf the condemned men into the Governor's presence, where he left thorn. There were the two brothers of Spieu, his sister and mother. Mrs. Schwab, Mrs. Fischer, Miss Kdna Mueller, and Miss Maggie &Kel. They were in the Governor's room only twenty minute. Ferdinand atid Henry Spies spoke first. They appealed feelingrv for mercy, and were questioned at length ty the Governor. Spies' mother made the next appeal, breaking out into a paroxysm of grlf before she had proceeded beyond her third or fourth sentence. This deeply affected the other laiies, and ' a period of weeping ensued. MARKET REPORTS. NEW i'OltK.

LINGG'S SUICIDE.

The Fire-Eating Anarchist Explodes a Detonating Cap in His Mouth.

The Whole Lower Part of His Face Torn AwaySeven Hours of Agony.

Sketch of Ilia Life of tho Most Veng;e ful and Despcrato of the Auureiiists.

Chicago BpooIHV LoniB Lingtf, tlie maker of the-bomb thai; was thrown at the Hbymarket riot, created u tremendous leusation througlioat tho world by committing suicide in his ceil at tlie county jail Thursday morning with a dyi.auiito cartridge. At 8 :jo tit the morning tho euneut of daily buainesa in the jail was hardly under way. Lincg had not yet rise.i. but had been awake and for some time reading by the light 'of a candle which stood on a Bml table t: the right of his cot He hod Ught4 the candle himself, although none of the jail oihcials ohRr t ved him as he did so. At :4 o'clock Eugelltardt had noticed the burning caudle, and the only idea it aroused in him was that Lings was awake. Engelhardt glanced into the cell and, seeing Lingg reading, at id, oheerily: "How do you feel this morning ?w "Pretty well," replied Lingg. merely glancing up and resuming his reading.

fifteen minutes later, at 8 ;a5 o'clock, a cloud of blue smoke rushed through the grated door of Iiingg's eel1, and a report about iiH loud as the simultaneous disci urge oi both barrels of a shotgun nng through the jaii.

o Neill, the denuty.

who was a prisoner in his own cage, had

been facing the outer office, and at Wn I. I, ....

'nff against the zratJf r0 with th (t im

pression that tbe wall ) were falliug. None of the deputies wks watching him, but jutit at that moment the reporter had stopped to look in the cell. Lingg, who had been lying d:wn, partially raised himsell! in his bunk and placed something between his lips. It looked like a cigar, and when Lingg reached over for the candle and placed it t: bia mouth his onl;' observer supposed be waet merely about to take a smoke. A moment later the explosion, dispellel that thought For a moment everybody in the jail stood paralyzed with horror. To add to the torror was the fear that the next moment the l rails would come toppling over and bury all tha Inmates beneath tie ruins. But no crash of falling walls followed the explosion, and the panic was soon over. Jailer .Vol;; was the first to act, and was at hand when O'Neill recovered himself and flung open Lingg' door. Througt, the ribbons of smoke it could be seen that the little cell was in great disorder. Books anc. papers were scattered about, the extinguished candle lay under the table, tho blankets had fallen from the cot, find upon the floor and clinging to the walls and furniture were pilpy and hard substances, ths nature of which was n t at tbe moment apparent. The prisoner himself lay quietly upon his right side, with both hunds hanging 'as though in languor over tbe side of the cot. Folz and O'Neill seized him and drew him into thel:ght. The sight disclosed wasi horror itself. Lirgg's hend fell on his breast, while from his mcuth, if the black and shapeless orilice could still bear the name, there poured a torrent of blood. The nature of the wound was open evidence of its method of infliction. The desperate maa bad discharged on explosive in his mouth, iTith the design, doubide&a, of blow in .; his head irorn his shoulders. He had failed of his complete purpose! but had succeeded in accomplishing an injury which, had it not ended in death, would havo left him a living monstrosity. Many among the men who gazed upon tb dying anarchist had witnessed death and disfiguration in almost every form, but recoiled at this horror. Lingg's entire lower jaw, tbe upper bony palate, the teeth, tonguo, glands, and all the lower structure of his head, xce ting only the outer flesh, ha i been blown out through his lips, so that his face from his ves down hung like a hidcou? sack upon which his uoae was a shapeless protuberance. It was teeth, blood, bones, und flesh upon which the jailers trod and which they saw upon the w alls and furniture. In the rush oi! discharging matter the lips had been slit and di& tended so uhat they hung in thick, welted tlapn tb it stirred as the hood and air from tbe lungs gushed through them. More frigbtiul still, to the men who brought the first relief, he was co -scioua, and looking up into their faces, groaued deeply. Lifting hi oi as tenderly as they might in tbe excitement, they carried him irova the c ge, out of the cell hall, through tho offico to the bath-room, where a cot was improvised. The BurgeonB promptly washed out the blodclotted cavity that was once a mouth, took up and tied several of tho arteries, applied cntiseptio treatment to the torn surface, enveloped the whole in bandages, and lay the hopelessly injured man back to die. It was perhaps in keeping with his character that Lingg should fe.ee a death so horrible vith composure and rete.in consciousness and perception of passing events until the drugs vith which the surgeons filled his veins overcione him. Shortly after the dressing of his wounds had been began he tiigned for pencil and pa er,

and as he did so it wivs noticed for the ilrst time that his left ha id was h battered. The thumb was broken and the flesh of his finders lacerated. A writing block was Leld for himt and wilh a pencil in his right hand he wrote the following: MBesser aniehnen tun liueckeu. Wonn ioh

liege kann ich nlchfc a:ibrueu." (Better boliter up my back; when I lie down I cannot breatae.) With this requGHt tho surgeons complied, and raised him into a sitting posture. Time and again he signed for water, aad this was administered him through a long rubber tabe thrust into his throat The instrument with, which Lingg wrought his destruction was a percussion cap. In euch of the four bombi found in his cell some diys before he killed him Belt there was one of these caps. An object so small could be oonceeled about the person of a man so as to battle the closest examination. The cap consists merely of a copper shell an eigiath of an moh in diameter and three-quarters of an inch long, half filled with fulminate of mercmy, and with a half-inch of (use attached. Yet this small object explodes with tlie detonation of a gun, juad with what violence Lingg's wounds attest. After the surgeons had dressed his gaping wounds Lingg wits prop;ed up on a rough couch In the bath-room and a heavy gray blanket was thrown over him. The surgeons had stopped the profuse flow of blood, but expressed no hope for his recovery. Hypodermic infections wero made occasionally in the patient's right arm and breast and stimulants ware given, but they only served to prolong a Ufo fast ebbing awuy. Tbe desperate man lived exactly seven hours after the cap had exploded. At the Bound of tbe explosion, Parsons, vrho occupied the cell adjacent to Lingg's, waa on his feet, his face pressed close to tlie bars of his cell, and, in aloud voice, he cried: "Give me one of these bombs. I want to do the same thing. " Parsons was still shrieking out for a ccm-panion-pieco to the lingg article when Uhe deputies hustled him down stairs and into r,h jail office, where ho and his fellow anarchists were thoroughly searc hod. THE LIFE OF THIS BG51BM VKEJt His Hatred of Society Connection with the Great Conspiracy. Louis Lingg was the youngest and the most reckless of the Chicago anarchists. For daring, unbridled deviltry he was without au equal. Ac the time the boino was thrown he was only a little over 1 years old, and when he died w as barely 23. He was a disciple of Herr Moat, aud his blood is on the head of his master. Lingg was born a'i Mannheim, a city of abcut 40,000 inhabitants, iu the Grand Duchy of Baden, Germany. His mothor still rum a notion store in that city, and is said to bo very well off. Lingg was absolutely without fettr. He preached the uho of dynamite and was always ready to practice what ho preached. In his advocacy of force he was always far in advance of the other extreme anarchists of Chicago. Lingg was a carpenter by trade. Ho joined tbe socialists of Mannheim while he was but a boy, and at once became an on thus laatic advocate of ttie doctrines of John Most. He was too radical for tho socialists, aad be soon found more congenial company in a group of liakunin anarchists.

GOV CGLXHBY. the case. Gov, Oglesby wo aid not permit himself to be S'?en. He "would not even receive a message except the. piles of telegrams that came pouriag in all day. Early in tho morning he snt for Attorney General Hunt, and the two gentlemen were in consultation nearly tho entire day. They went over the record together, examined the jetiUodb, and discussed vhe decision of the Supremo Court. About noon tL o Grovernor went for Milton Hay, whose judgment he always asks in an emergency. Just what advice Mr. Hay pave a' course could riot bo ascertained, but it is known that they di&cussed the case fh detail and looked at it from, every side. Tbe Governor had not tfnally decided what he should do until 3 o'cloc k in the afternoon. At that hour he sent for a stenographer, and an hour later rhe brief decision he concluded to ii ake had been written. Much of the discussion during the day was ai to whether a long explanation of his action should be given, but both the Attorney General and Mr. Hay are understood to have advised against that, and as this was really in line witc ths Governor's view, it wan finally decided to si a) pi v give the points in the case a& briefly as possible. THE GOVERNOR'S DECISION. Full Text of the Document Or anting: Commutation to Fielden and Schwab. The following is the decision of Governor Oglesby : -State of Illinois, Exkcttive Office, Pfiujjgfiei.d, IU., Nov. 10, 1&37. On the 0th day ol! August, 188tSf in Cook County Criminal Court,, August Spies, Albert R. Parsons, Samuel Fielden, Michael Schwab, Adolpb Fischer. George Engel, and Louis Liars were found guilty by the verdict of the jury, and afterward Rente need to bo hanged for the murder oi Matthiau J. Degan. An appoal was taken

5muel cltfca. cAw

from such finding and sentence to the Supremo Court of tbe State. Thut court, upon : final hearing and after mature k libera

tion, unanimously affirmed the judiit of tho ceurfc below. ITie case ne w come before me, by petition of the defendants, for consideration as Governor of the State, if the letters of Albert Portions, Adolph Fischer, George Engel, and Louis Lingg demanding u:acondit:ona:l release or, s.s they express it, ' liborty or death,' and protesting in the strongest language against mercy or commutation of tbe sentence pronounced against thorn, can be considered petitions. "Pardon, could it be granted, which might Imply any guilt wha tever upon the part of e ither of thorn, would not be such a vindication as they demand. Executive intervention upon the ground insistel upon by th9 four abovenamed persons could in no pro par sense bo deemod au exercisci of the constitutional power to grant reprieve, commutation, and pardons unless upon the belief on my part of their entire innocence of tbe crime of which they stand convicted. A carefr.il consideration of tho evidence In the record of the trial of the pf.rties, as we ll as of all alleged and. claimed ior them outside of the record, has failed to produce upon my mind any impression tending to impeach tho verdict of the jury or judgment of the trial court ox of the Supreme Court a running the guilt of all parties. 8a.tisned, therefore, as I i.ui, of their guilt, I am precluded from considering tho question of commutation of tho sentences of AlbortK. Parsons, Adolph Fischer, George Kngel, and Louis Lingg to imprisonment in the penitentiaty, as they emphatically declare they will not accept such commutation. 8amuel Flelden, Michael Schwab and August Spies v nits in a petition for executive c leniency. FieJden and Schwab, in addition present separate and supplementary petition for the commutation of their sentences. "While, as stated above, I am satisfied o:f the guilt of nil the parties as found by the verdict of the jury,, which was sustained by the ;iudgmentK of the eourtti, a most careful consideration of the w hole subject leads me to the conclusion that tbe sentence of the law as to Samuel Fielded and Michael Schwab may be modified as to each of them, in the interest of humanity and without violence to public juetice. Aud as to said Samuel Ficlden and Michael ftchwab, the sentence is commuted to imprisonment in tho penitentiary for iifi, "As to all the other above-named defendants, 1 do not feel justified in interfering with the e enteuce of the ourt. While I wouid gladly have come to a different conclusirn in regard to the sanceuces of defendants August Hpiee, Adolph Fischer, George Kngol, Albert U. Parsons, Olid Louis Lingg, I regret to say that under the solemn sons) of the obligations cf my olhcG I have been unable xo do tio. "Kichard J. OftLERBy, Governor." The following is a copy ot the instrument officially commuting the sentence ol Fielder: and Schwab : "Whereas, Samuol Fieldext and Michael Schwab were oonvictod at the Jure term, A. D. JH80, of tlxa Criminal Court of Cook County of the crime of murder, and were sentenced to be hanged ; and, "Whereas, it has been represented to ire by iivors good citizens of said county that said Samuel Field en and Michael fechwab are fit and proper subjects for executive (ilemency: "Now, know ye, that I, Kictard J. Oglesby, Governor of Illinois, by the authority i:i me vested by the Constitution of t):.ls State, do by these presents commute the iientence of the paid Saaauel Flelden and Michael hchwitb to imprisonment in tlie penitentiary for life.
