fires which make the air densey smoky.
Pendelfs slaughter house, in the city limits,
has been burned and the nitro glycerine

hot and the FIRE fighters are suffering greatly
4 dispatch from Neilsville says that fires
have been burning in that vicinity for sew
eral days. Farm houses in the neighborhood
were burned and many families compelled TO
move into the fields with their household
goods. Fires are still raging north, south
ana west of Neillsville. destroying grain and
buildings. Particulars are difficult to get.
For almost an uninterrupted distance of
nearly 100 miles north of Stevens Point,
along the line of the Wisconsin Central,
forest fires are raging and hundreds of men
are fighting the flames, seeking to save the
towns and villages hemmed in bv them. Tel
egraphic communication is greatly interfered
with and the details are meagre. The COM
plete destruction of the town of Spencer is
fully confirmed and the loss is now placed at
S300,000 Several hundred people are des-
titute and homeless. AT Colby, a few miles
distant, the fire is raging on two sides. 1t

population 10 save the village. gale was
blowing all day and several times the fire
reached to within 80 feet of the buildings.
Tonight the village of Prentice is surround
ed by flames and il is feared will be swept
out of existence unless the wind dies down.
The most serious fires exist in the heart of
Clark and Marathon counties. Though no
fatalities are reported as yet, It is feared
that many people must have perished in the
back woods.

THE ANARCHISTS.
Schwab Offers His Testimony-Spies
Placed on the stand aud Makes What
the Prosecution Claims a Fatal Ad.
mission,
CHICAGO, Aug, 8,

CHICAGO, Aug. 8.
At the Anarchists trial today. Schwab
testified that he was only few moments at
the Haymsrket meeting on the night of Nav
4th, an didn't see Spies; was not in the
alley; didn't hand him a package or walk
west on Randolph street and then return. 1t
was complete denial of the statements Of
the witnesses for the State. The cross ex-
ami miaation developed nothing.
Spies took the stand. He appeared TO be
self possessed and spoke with strong ac.
cent. He said his full name was August
Vincent Theodore Spies; he was 81 years
old and came to this country in 1872; had
been member of the Socialistic Publishing
Society which controlled the Arbeitsr
Zeitung; had been editor of that paper six
years and received a salary OF SIS a week :
was at the ''black road" meeting Nav 3rd,
at the invitation of the committee from the
lumber shavers; there was crowd of 5000
present. Balthauser Rsu was at the meet
ing and introduced Spies to the chairman OF
the meeting. Spies said:
my speech was commonplace. | told the
men to stand by the union. While speaking
someone cried out in an unknown language,
and three or four hundred men detached
themselves from the meeting and made an
attack on McComick's."
Spies said he kept on speaking for short
time, when he, too, went towards the factory.
He said he saw people behind some railroad
cars and others running, while the police
were firing at them THE sight of this, -
said Spies, .'made my blood boil
The witness declared that while he was
standing there a young Irishman came
were dead. and that others had been wound
IN tha Arb /aitn
office and wrote the article which appeared
the next morning.
"Dd you write the revenge CIRCULAR"
A.-"Yes; only l did not write the word
revenge"
Can you tell how it happened to be in the
circular?"
Al cannot"
Spies then told how he attended the Hay-
market meeting and made a speech. He
denied having gone into the alley with
Schmaubelt.
On being asked, "Did you light the bomb?"
he smiled, showed his teeth and replied, II
never did
Spies then made what the prosecution
claim is fatal admission, fully corroborating
their claim that the armed section had a sec
ret cause and had prepared for an attack on
the police. Spies says he wrote the word
"Ruhe" which appeared in the Arbeiter
Zeitung on May 4th, but did it by request and
did not know it had any impart. He was
questioned about the bombs and dynamite
found in his office. The witness became
very uneasy and reiterated his statement
that the bombs were left there by man he
did not know and said he was simply inves-
tiga}ing the properties of dynamite on gen
eral principles. He evaded other questions
and all the prisoners seemed very nervous
while he was on the stand
Parsons next took the stand and told
commonplace storyof his report of his speech
at the Haymarket meeting, making it very
peaceful and statistical production.
