the shell near the nut a hole ono-eightl
of an inch in diameter has been drillet
and in this fuse was found inserted
The entire bomb fastened together weigh
between 10 and 16 ounces. In anothe
place were found two pieces of gas pip,
each about s inches in length. One il
about an inch and the other an inch anC
half in diameter. The bottom Of the pipt
is filled with lead cast in clay. The toI
in which the fuse is plnced is made of {
neat block of wood. 1t is intimated that
the men who made these bombs know
who made the one fred on Tuesday night
All the officers now believe that the firing
of the bomb on Tuesday night was little
premature, and the vile schemers mis-
calculated their power. If they had
rested quietly for time the result would
have been worse for the city, and as one
expressed it, "there would have been q
hell in Chicago"
ooBoNER's JUROR THREATENED.
Paul Smith, one of the coroner's Jury
in the inquest on the body of Officer
Deegan, is much agitated ON account of
mysterious threats made against him by
anarchistic friends of Spies. In CONVEX
sation last night he said 81 live within
about two blocks of Spies place and
there is considerable excitement out
there. Why the anarchists have already
threatened me, and l don't know what
minute they will throw bomb in my
house and blow everything up"
"They have threatened you ?'
"Indeed they have, and 1 don't know
what moment they'll pounce on me.

Mr.. Smith has taken out permit to

| THE NUMBER OF WOUNDED ANARUHIsTs-
SUSPECTED GERMANS ARRESTED.
CHICAGO, May 8.-The police have
begun search among physicians for the
purpose of obtaining, if possible, an esti-
mate of the number of anarchists who
were wounded Tuesday night. They have
found one doctor who was called in to
Zeph's saloon, where he attended 13
wounded men. Some were badly hurt
about their bodies and heads, while others
were suffering from gunshot wounds in
the legs and arms. Other doctors tell
stories about visiting saloons, drug stores
and rooms to attend wounded anarchists,
and by this means the police have traced
up great many cases.
The seizure of the subscription list of
the Arbetter ZeitWag will perhaps lead to
the discovery of great many more. The
police are confident that they shot and
wounded more men than have been taken
to hospitals. In fact some of the officers
place their estimate as high as 200. The
investigations, which will be begun
to-day, will undoubtedly bring TO light
many serious cases. Three wounded men
were found in various parts of the city,
yesterday but two of them proved to have
been merely spectators.
Five hard looking Germans were ar
rested at boarding. g-house at 1874 Van
Buren street last night. After thorough
examination, three of them We're set free
and two others named Antoine Raabe and
Karl Nuremberg were locked up. In the
room which they jointly occupied were
found musket, four large revolvers, a
large number of cartridges, two dirks,
some lead and bullets, and about two
pounds of material ready for making
small dynamite bombs, which are thrown
like torpedo and if exploded close to a
person, will annihilate him.
ANOTHER ANARCHIST ARRESTED

The officers failed to obtain any direct
evidence against him. August Spies

PARSONS WRITES To THE "oHIoAao NEWS"
.. A THREATENING LETTER.
CHICAGO, May 8.-The rumored capture
last night of the anarchist Parsonsproved
to be unfounded, but that he is still in the
vicinity of Chicago and quite as vindic-
tive Us ever is shown by the following
letter dated Chicago, May 7th, p. M,
and published in the Daily Nea0s this
morning;
To the editor of he Daily Netos-DEAR
SIR want to speak a word through you to
my fellow-workers, just to let them know
that am still in the land of the living and
looking out for their interests, and further,
give few hints to the fellows who desire
TO live on anarchists that may be for their
welfare. In the first place, am watching
the papers and also the knowing chaps who
give the pointers as to my whereabouts,
some of whom will make good subjects for
a coroner's inquest one OF these days, should
they persist In their present course. To the
public desire to say that the devil
is never as black as you can paint him. 1
will in due time turn up and answer for
myself for anything L may have said or
done. have no regrets for past conduct
nor pledges for the future, If there is to be
nothing but death for the tribes of America.
Whenever the public decides to use reason
and justice in dealing with the producing
class, just at that time will you see me.
But, should the decision be to continue the
present course of death and slavery just so
long will | wage relentless war on all
organized force, and all endeavors to find
me will be fruitless. Watching my, wife
and her kind friends Is of no use. am
dead to them already. l count my life
already sacrificed for daring to stand
between tyrants and slaves.
To show you how well nm posted,
know who was sent to La Grange for us to-
day. l know who put you on the truck of
Glasgow and Just where to find him. Just
say 10 that man for me that his day Of rsck-
ouing will soon come. What must be done
to satisfy the anarchists2 Grant every fair
demand of labor. Give those poor creatures
a quiet period In which all the great ques-
tions can be put in operation without fur
ther blood. But II not am already sacrl-
feed, and as martyr for the cause shall
wait just as long us think necessary for
the public to take warning, and then you
decide your own fate. 1t must be liberty
for the people or death for capital. am
not choosing men. l love humanity and
therefore die for 1t now. Every drop of my
blood shall cast an avenger and war to
America. have not yet slept nor shall
until sleep In death or my fellow-men are
on the road to liberty. A. II. PARSONS.
MRS. PARSONS AFTER THE SAME PATTERN.
When visited last night Mrs. Parsons
was reticent and defiant. She insisted
that her husband was not in the city, and
that he was beyond the reach of the de-
tectives. This woman was born in Texas
and married the noted anarchist in Hous-
ton dozen years ago. She is 33 years
old. She and Parsons came to Chicago
about 10 years ago. Mrs. Parsons is of
Mexican and Indian origin, with trace
of Ethiopian blood in her veins. She is
of a swarthy complexion, darker than au
ordinary mulatto, but without the olive
