CHICAGO, May 1S.-Since the McCor-
mick riots the socialist and anarchist groups
in this city have not been idle, and while
some of them have been raising subscrip-
tons to assist their newspaper organ, others
have been sent to various localities to So
licit pecuniary aid for their wounded
brethren. 1t now appears, from the state
ments OF some of the rabid leaders, that
Spies. Fielden and Schwab deliberately
planned the attack made on the police i'll
the Haymarket. and that it
was through their scheming that
the bomb was thrown. The story
as it is told by William Weber, now of this
city, but formerly of Cincinnati, is SEN
sational one. He is an active anarchist,
and has been in Cincinnati for some days,
collecting funds for the relief of the
wounded rioters, and on being interviewed
by the GLOBE correspondent, said: ''After
the trouble at McCormick's works on Mon
day afternoon special meeting of our
group was held. Spies called the meeting
to order, and a committee consisting Of
Parsons and two others was appointed to
DRAW UP A MANIFESTO.
This was the one headed, Revenge!
WOrkingmen to Arms! The ACCESSIBILITY of
using dynamite if the police interfered with
any other meetings, was discussed, and it
was decided that twenty bombs should be
prepared for the next night (Tuesday).
Five hundred ballots were distributed;
twenty of which contained skull and
crossboneS. / know that the twenty men
received their bombs. ITO arms was the
signal for the throwing Of bombs. The meet
ing was almost through on Tuesday night
when the police ordered the anarchists to
disperse. and it is presumed that the other
nineteen men had started for home or were
injured by the discharge of the police re-
volvers. which Immediately followed the
throwing of the first bomb" 1t is thought
that the police have some information on
this point in their possession. as BalthaZar,
Rau and one or two others who were at the
meeting referred to, have told what they
know. Parsons. Spies and Fischer are be-
lieved to be the committee appointed to
draw up the revenge manifesto.
PARSONS HEARD FROM.
A. r. Parsons is one of the anarchists
connected with the recent disturbances.
Since the Haymarket riot, the police have
been looking for him iii vain. Tonight a
letter was received at the Times Office from
Parsons. The post-mark was Milwaukee.
Parsons wrote in answer to an article in
this mornings Times on mobs by Gen. Mo-
lineaux. There was nothing noteworthy in
the communication.

BEHIND THE BARS,
An Ex-State's Attorney of Chicago
in Jail.

in Jail.
Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, May 1S.-A good deal of in
terest was aroused here to-day by dispatch
from New York saying that Charles Fl.
Reed, formerly prosecuting attorney for this
county, was put in Jail in New York last
Saturday. Misappropriation of funds is
the charge, and complaint is made by Will
lam Campbell & Co. of West Forty-third
street. that city. Reed was unable to fur
nish bail and was taken to the Tombs. He
is well known to old Chicagoans. He was
Luther Latin Mills predecessor as state at
torney here, and held that office for sew
eral terms. He was graduate of Harvard
and an accomplished Greek scholar. 1t was
charged that he was guilty of certain irreg-
ularities in the management of an estate
after his term of office expired. and Judge
Knickerbocker decided that such was the
case. and Reed left for the East soon after.
He went to Washington, arriving there soon
after the assassination of President Garfield,
and was next heard of as counsel for
Guiteau. Subsequently he moved to New
York, opened law office there and lived
in elegant quarters at the Rossmore hotel.
Not the least untiattering to his good name
was the course he pursued toward his wife.
He left her in this city destitute. She was
divorced from him later and maintained
herself by teaching in the public schools.

BURSTING BOILERS.
Destruction Caused i'm a PennsyIya-
mia Saw Mill.

KITTANNING, Pa, May 1S.-One of the
boilers at the rolling mill exploded with ter
rifle force at about o'clock this morning,
shaking nearly all of the buildings in town
and awakening the residents, who rushed
from their houses in terror, many of them
not waiting to dress. Instinct took them
to the mill, and when they reached there
they found the boiler house in ruins. They
were llorror-stricken when the rumor spread
that six tramps, who had taken shelter for
the night, were buried beneath the debris.
Work was Immediately begun to rescue the
unfortunate men. but up to noon they had
not been found, which fact leads many to
believe that they were not IN or around the
building at the time the boiler burst. How
ever, the work of clearing up the ruins still
goes on and will be kept up until it is
definitely known whether or not they met
such fate. Sam Wallace, ON duty at the
time, was severely burned. but will likely
recover. None of the employees can adj
vance any theory as to the cause of the ex-
plosion.

Dynamite in Canada.

ORANGEvILLE, Ont, May IS : Two
more dynamite explosions occurred here
last night, one at the office and another at
the residence of Police Magistrate Monroe.
The office was completely wrecked, and adj
joining property was somewhat damaged.
The house was badly damaged, but FORUM
ately no lives were lost. The indignation
of the citizens is very great, as this is the
third and most destructive explosion since
the initiation of the Scott act. The cause of
the outrage is the action of Magistrate Mon
roe in strictly enforcingithe temperance law.
Although large rewards have been offered for
information regarding the perpetrators of
the first two explosions, no one has been az
rested in connection with the crimes.

marked emphasis in the introduction on
the fact that the people he was presenting

groom, as he gaZed upon the bride: Il
congratulate you, sir, shaking him warmly
by the hand as he spoke. The bridegroom,
blushed, and for moment did not know
what to say. Then he bIurted out: :'Sir.

going to be married or not. She said to
him:

If the president is to be married he is
keeping the fact of it closer than he has ever
kept any secret of his executive business.
The Paris dispatch saying Miss Folsom had
admitted before leaving Paris that there
was a n engagement between herself and
the president, has attracted good deal of
attention, yet people are disappointed that
all of the information upon the subject
comes from the Folsoms. They think it is
about time somebody about the White house
should admit something concerning it. Col.
Lamont still insists that he knows nothing
about it, while the president shuts off alb
ruptly any attempt upon the part of his
friends to say one word about it.
