CHICAGO, July 28.-In the Anarchist
trials this morning H. L. Gilmer. q
painter, testified to arriving at Haymarket
at 9:45 O'Clock. At the corner Of Des-
PLANES and Randolph streets he saw a
wagon occupied by the speakers. Fielden
was speaking. The witness saw some one
leave the wagon and start toward the alley,
where four or five persons were covering,
The witness was at the mouth Of the alley.
At that moment some one cried: Here
comes the police" Then q man, who had
left the wagon and joined the parties in
the alley, lit q match, and placed it
against something held in the hand of one
Of the persons. The fuse began to sizzle,
and Immediately thereafter a bomb was
thrown. The witness was shown a picture
OF ~Schnsubelt, and he recognized it as that
of the 1nan who threw the bomb. "How
many men were there?" -Four or FIVE"
"You say a man came from q wagon and
joined this group. Can you recognize any
Of the defendants? Is that the MANI"
Yes; that is the man." pointing to Spies.
When Spies was pointed out he displayed
great and palpable agitation. DO you
recognize any Of the remaining defendants
as composing any part Of that group? -
Yes; that man there was one OF the
group" pointing TO Fischer. This testi-
mony following that Of Thompson yester-
day occasioned q most profound sensation
in the courtroom. The cross-exsminstion
failed to shake the testimony. Continuing
the cross-examination Gilmer replied that
ne thought he saw ScbwGb near the
wagon. Where were you that evening be-
fore You went to Hsymarbet?" 81 was
at the Palmer House" What were you
doing there 2" 81 desired to see Gov
ernor Merrill and Judge Ford" "The
witness was piled with all forms OF ques-
ton but he answered them apparently sat-
isfsctorily. "And you say that it was
Spies that left the wagon and joined the
group in the alley, and lit the match
which fired the boom, which caused the
explosion at Haymarket?' II do" APP
parantly baf1ed and exhausted the cross
examination was closed and the court adj
journed for dinner. The Anarchists,
particularly Spies and Fischer, appeared to
be completely borne down by she damsg-
ing character OF the evidence 30 coldly
delivered against them. Gilmer Is q long
lank man, with q -sanctimonious express
ion of oountenance, and speaks in q
drawing tone of voice that almost lulIs
the spectators to sleep The appear
ance of Indifference in the audience
was suddenly dispelled when the witness
identified the photograph of ~Schnaubeli
as that Of the man who threw the bombs.
Interest was depicted on the face Of each
listener. The Judge, jury, counsel and
prisoners and the audience leaned over in
breathless anticipation and listened 10
each word that fell from the lips Of the
heretofore ludicrous witness, and when
the witness said Spies was the man who
lighted the fuse the most intense excite
ment prevailed in the courtroom, and
every eye was directed at the accused
man, whose face paled when he regained
his self possession partially and pulled
%nervously at his mustache, and leaning
over toward Foster broke into an incredu-
lous laugh. For one instant a deathlike
silence reigned, and then q buzz Of many
hushed whispers filled the air, which once
more went into perfect silence as the wit
ness pointed TO Fischer as one Of the men
in the alley. II was o Fischer's turn TO
pale and tremble.,
sufferings ON h Labrador Coast.
ST.. JOINS, N. F., July 2S.-The schooner
Barrett has put in here, bringing the latest
news from the Labrador Coast. For
nearly two weeks she was blocksded in

five families, who had reached that point
from Sandwich Bay, over 100 miles inland,

subsisted after their arrival. York Har-
Dor is crowded with fugitives, but they
came from the southern coast and know
nothing Of their northern n~eighbors. On

trails OF relief. Vessels will now 90 direct
