THE ANARCHISTS PICNIC.
A BloOdthIrsty Speech by Mrs. A. Il
Parsons.

A BloOdthIrsty Speech by Mrs. A. Il.
Parsons.
CHICAGO, September 5.-Three thousand
Socialists and their sympathizeIs took the
train for Sheffield this morning to attend
the picnic given by the Socialist Publish
ing Company, for the purpose of raising
money for the defense Of the condemned
Anarchists. Prominent among those there
could be seen Gen. Parsons, brother of
A. K. Parsons, Balthazar, Spies, and other
of the former leaders. The father of Oscar
Neebe also attracted attention. Admiring
crowds gathered around Mrs. Parsons and
Mrs. Schwab, both of whom talked loudly
and detiantly of Anarchy, present and to
come. After speeches by French and
Germans, song in German was sung to
the tune of The MarseillaiSe" with great
enthusiasm, and then Mrs. A. K. Parsons
stepped to the front, being greeted with
great applause. She was as pronounced rs
ever in her speech, bitterly denOuncing
the whole proceedings of the court.
IF these men are hung it will be foul
murder. If they are hung and you people
do not resent it powerfully, and so that it
will be remembered for many years to
come, you are unworthy TO be called men.
In the words of Thomas Jefferson, that
were quoted ut the Haymarket on that
historic night, Resistance to tyrrany Is
obedience to God II the men who have
ground you under their feet for SolOng are
not tyrantS, who are? IfyOur late action
has not been obedience TO God, what has
it been? When the conviction of our glO-
riouS martyrs went abroad all over the
world, Kings and Queens clappcd their
hands, and why? WOuld they have done
so on hearing of the conviction Ofany Ordi-
nary murderer? No indeed. 1t is because
they know their own weakness and fear
our strength, that they rejoice in the
downfall of our heroes. 1t is your duty
and demand of you to echo the crash of
those seven scatlold traps by counter
crash that all this county will hear and
hearing tremble. You know that it is for
you ami our glorious principles that those
men now suffer in their cells. See that
their prosecutors do not 90 unrewarded. y
The similarity of opinion between the
speaker and audience was evinced by wild
and prolonged cheering and the waiving OF
many red flags in the hands Of excited An
archists. No more speech making Oc-
and the day found an end
with much beer drinking nc
by repetitions OF the
the MarSellaise and the copiOus fluttcring
of red flags.

of trained observers, but another and
much simpler device has nearly
been perfected which it is
proposed shall be placed in the
hands Of volunteer observers in many parts
OF the country. 1t consists of vertical
pendulum whose point hangs over q cup of
mercury, upon the surface of which lies 4
platinum float. A small depression in the
float receives the point without making
actual contact, except when the mercury
is disturbed, in which event the contact
will be made completing an electri-
cal circuit, which, by withdrawing n
detent sets in motion the machinery
of an ordinary clock. 1t is proposed that
only one or two hundred of these inStru-
ments shall be sent out at present. These
will record only the beginning of the earth
quake, but they, will serve also the pur-
pose of calling attention TO a disturbance
which might otherwise escape notice, and
thus enable the Observes to note such other
features as the phenomena may present.
The study OfphenOmenOn of this kind is
claimed to be of great value to science for
its bearing upon almost every branch Of
physics and geology.

Hon. John BASEL. The case commenced
on Wednesday morning and the greatest
anxiety prevailed. The evidence was
concluded by both sides at about 3 o'clock
p III. Thursday. The argument was open
ed by Mr.. lIustcad, who was followed by
Davis and BASEL, and concluded by Lynch.
The case went to the jury Oh Friday at

The frost which prevailed throughout a

of the past week, caused very little damage
TO the growing crop. The reports indicate
that while the drought and continued hot

show no marked improvement. The tenor
Of reports from States except Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan and Minnesota continue TO predict
a short crop. In the four States named
the prospects continue favorable for a full
average yield, while a majority Of the
counties estimate the yield at from forty

one half of the counties would indicate q
general average Of sixty-two per cent
Twcnty-six Ohio counties estimate an

The reports indicate that the pastures

many districts flat failure.
The hogs are generally reported with
only scattering cases Of cholera as yet.

first year or two after his residence in
Sierra Nevada county, there was not sim
gle child in all the reach of hundred
miles. But the Fourth of July came, and
the miners were gathered together, and
they were
CELEBRATING THE FoTRTH
With Grafton and poem, and boisterous
brass band; and while the band was play
ing, an infants voice was heard crying,
and all the miners were startled, and the
swrathy men began to think Of their
homes on the eastern coast, and Of their
wives and children far away, and their
hearts were filled with homesickness as
they heard the babe cry. But the music
went on, and the babe cried louder, and
the brass band played louder and louder,
trying TO drown out the infantile Interrupt
ton, when q swarthy miner, the tears roll
ing down his face, got up and shook his
fist, and said: Stop that noisy hand,
and give the baby q chance" Oh, there

it! There is nothing to arouse, and melt,

tive against sin. lfa father is going away
into sin he leaves his living children with
their mother; hut if father is going away
into sin what is he going TO do with his
dead children floating about him and
lowering over his every wayward step?
Oh, speak out, vacant high chair, and say:
Father, come back from sin; mother,

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, September .
The steamer MaraOa arrived to-day from
Sydney, Australia She brought news Of
the arrival there OF the German war-ship
AlbatroSs from among the Hebrides ISL
ands, where she had been for the purpose
of furnishing the natives for numbering
German subjects at the Island of Leneur.
4 crowd of armed natives who had gath
cred on the beach were fired into and Il
hundred or more killed.
The village of TombOlOuga, on the island
of Pentacost. was then bOmbardcd, and
many more natives killed. When land
ing was effected Mt the latter place portions
of human bodies were found, but most of
the bodies had apparently been carried
away. On both islands all the native vii
lagos that were found were burned. On
Leneur man named Klein, and ON Pente-
cost a man of the German schooner UpOli,
had been murdered by natives. Before

CURED about o'clock last night. Officer
George Woods and man named Edward
Henning, whom he was arrestlng, 1ell over
4 cliff on Locust street, and both are now
not expected to survive the injuries they
received. Henning had engaged in
street quarrel, and when the
officers arrived took to his heels.
Woods gave chase and finally drew his re-
volver and shot ut the fugitive, the ball
taking effect in lIenning's left forearm.
They were then not far apart, and when
Henning felt the ball enter his flesh he
stopped and stood at bay Just on tie brink
of a precipice fifty feet high. 1t was
the work of an instant. They clinchcd
and had Il short, hard tuSsle, and
then suddenly both men disappeared.
When the other officers arrived no one was
in sight, but faint cry from over the
cliff aroused their attention. Looking
down the two men were seen stretched no
tionleSS ut the bottom of the cut. Woods
was unconscious and both men were terri
bly, injured. They were carried to the
police station and atterward removed to a
hospital where they are now lying. Hennlng
is resting easier tonight, but Woods IS
suffering intensely and may die before

IRON AND STEEL PRODUCTION.
A Comparison With the Output of 1884
Largly Increased Use OF steel.

A Comparison With the Output OF 1854
LarGly Increased Use OF steel.
PHILADELPHIA, September 5.-The
American Iron and Steel Association has
completed a new new directory of the iron
and steel works in the United States, show
ing the extent of those industries now as
compared with two years ago. The num-
Der of completed rolling mills and steel
works described in the directory for 1884
was 434, with four building, but in the
addition for 1886 only 423
are described, with 13 build
ings. The slightly decreased number
of rolling mills and steel works in 1886,
the great increase since
1884 in the erection of steel plants, IS ac-
counted for partially by the fact that
number of rolling mills which were built
to roll iron rails have been wholly aban-
doned, and partly by the fact that the in
crcaSing use of steel tends to diminish the
demand for the products of iron rolling
mills. These influences are made appar-
ent in the figures which relate to pudding
and heating furnaces. In the edition for
1884 the number of pudding furnaces
recorded was ), 265, and officiating furnaces
J, 782. In the present edition the number
of pudding furnaces recorded is a, SSS and
OF heating furnaces 2,563.
The number of trains Of rolls has also
decreased, the number i'll the edition for
1884 being l, 800, and in the present edition
| ,475. The annual capacity of the rolling
mills in finished iron and steel is virtually
the same now as in 1884, being 7,6OO,OOO
net tons in 1854 and I, ,6l3, 600 tone in 1856.
The annual ingot capacity of the completed
and unfinished Bessemer works increased
from 2,49O,OO0 tons in 1884 to H., lU2, 600
tons in 1886. This increase is the result
partly OF the erection of new plants, but
chiefly of the improved practice and in
creased machinery of the old works.
