Charles Robinson, says the reporter,
and the chances are that Miss M. felt
the bite, emitted series of assorted
shrieks and dropped the line, which
the skipper caught and thus saved the
fish.

present fiscal year. In reg ard to this call
Secretary Fairchild says: The receipts
are unusually large just at this time. Sill
yer is being absorbed by the people pretty

THE VERDICT.
At 10 a. m, on the Doth the jury came
into court and reported their verdict to
Judge Gary finding Spies, Fielden, Fischer,
Parsons, Schawb Lingg and Eugel guilty
of murder in the first degree with the death
years in the penitentiary. Great excite
ment prevailed, but perfect order was
maintained.
The verdict was a surprise to the
prisoners; Spies said to his lawyers,
"9entlemen we did not expect it," and the
others exhibited Generalization; Schwab
and gasped, my God, we die and Neebe
gets but IS years." AS the condemned
men were returned to Jail, Fielden had to
be supported, and even Neebe, as he
marched away, looked like corpse. They
were all placed in cells in Murders row.
An immense throng was about the court
house and received the announcement of
the verdict with shouts of satisfaction and
appreciation. A motion was entered for q
new trial and arguments will be- heard by
Judge Gary early in September. The
opinion prevails that the motion will be
overruled, and if SO, the case will go
should no exception be taken there, SEN
tence will be passed fixing the date of exc
cution. By the public of Chicago and by
the press throughout the country the YER
dict is received with profound approba-
ton. The following from the New York

and more dangerous than ordinary mur-

grasp OF that law which they affected to
despise and attempted to trample under
foot. The REQ flag of anarchism cannot be
openly run up with impunity in this coun-
try: The jury that rendered it has done
national service.
