AUSTRIAN ANARCHISTS.

Trial of a Batch of King Killers at Vienna
The Court Refuses to Believe the Testi-,
mohv of a Pair of IafOrnAers, But Sends
The Lot to Prison on General Principles
VIENNA, June 26.
The trial of Anarchists, which began
June IL, was concluded to-day.
The chief witness for the prosecutions
were the Anarchist, Podboy, who turned
informer, and his wife. Podboy's teSti-
mony was to the effect that in January
last the Anarchists were entirely under
the command of a committee in New
York. They organized clubs and made
collections weekly for party purposes, in
Guiding the purchase of arms. In
March, 1883, they held three secret sit
tings, when the assassination of the EN-
peror was discussed, and this they re-
solved to accomplish by means OF bombs
during his visit to Gratz, at the popular
fete of last year. ssThese meetings."
witness said, ''were presided over
by Michael Kaphauf, who read let
tiers from America, announcing that
bombs were already on the way, and

for the deed, support being promised Tor

on the Emperor's life, but they were ac-
Quilted on both charges. Podboy and wife
contradicted themselves repeatedly on
cross-examination. It is plain, however,
that the prisoners were members OF a
Socialistic society, at meeting OF which
speeches were made relating to the al
legged wrongs of the working classes,
likely to disturb the peace, and the pris~.
oners were convicted of conspiracy
against public order and let off with a.
short sentence.

Tons OF Dead Fish in the Youghiogno''y
River in Pennsylvania, Poisoned by Sui
phur Water from New Coal Mines.
PITTSBURGH. PENN. June 30.
One of the most novel sights to be wit
messed in Western Pennsylvania is at
present attracting the attention of dwell
ers along the Youghiogheny. The river
between McKeesport and Bradford is
filed with dead fish of all kinds and sizes.
This is one OF the stretches heavily
stocked at Government expense few
wears since, and attained prominence as
the resort of anglers. Captain MarkAle,
q resident of West Newton, said tSis-
morning: s"There is an almost incredi--
BILE number of dead fish floating past
1t was first noticed Monday evening last,
and has continued ever since" He be-
lteves that five tons have gone down the
river in the past tWenty-four hours. The
cause is attributed to a heavy flow OF
sulphur water from the numerous coal
mines recently opened along the banks OF
the river. In addition to the destruction
of the fish the city of McKeesport draws
its water supply from the Youghiogheny
River, and while the impurities are not at
all pleasant to contemplate, much alarm
exists in regard to large quantities of de-
caying animal matter impregnating the
stream
