MORE ANARCHISTS CAPTURED.
The Police of Chicago Capture a Band
of Them Sunday-Arms and Ammuni-
tiOn Found Hidden,
CHICAGO. Aug. 30

CHICAGO, Aug. 80
Louis Juhl, tailor, Henry Batzel, a mason,
and VIM. Kloth, a cooper, were arrested Sun
day charged with conspiracy to do an un-
lawful act. For some months past there has
been considerable talk in their neighborhood
about the three prisoners and their strange
actions. They are all known to be anarchists
and were always on hand whenever Spies and
Parsons made speech or called meeting.
Batzel, it is said, came to this country re
Gently from Germany, and ever since his
arrival has been associated with anarchists in
this city Kloth has been here longer. He
owns a cooper shop in the rear of his house,
which seemed to be the meeting place where
for two or three times each week a number
OF men congregated and remained till nearly
midnight. Some of them carried mysterious
packages and valises. 1t is not vet clear
what the anarchists did inside the cooper
shop, but from what various neighbors say it
would seem they met to drill and talk over
the use of dynamite
They finally became so bold during the re-
cent excitement that on one occasion seven
men were seen to leave the place about eleven
o'clock at night, each armed with rifle or
pistols. The mysterious meetings were car
ried on until the neighbors became suspicious
and finally informed the police, who watched
the place and became convinced that the
meetings we're for no lawful purpose, and
that the men were conspiring to destroy life
and property. Accordingly raid was deter
mined upon. The cooper shop and houses of
these men were thoroughly searched. No
explosives were found, but two full stands of
Australian pieces, swords and heavy Colts
calibre revolvers were discovered slowed
away in an ingeniously devised compartment
in the ceiling.
Kloth openly avowed heswas an anarchist
and admitted he had to fly from Berlin for
that reason. He further volunteered the in
formation that he was staunch sympathizer
of the convicted anarchists. The police claim
he was implicated in the Hsymarket riot and
was confined in Desplaines street station for
six weeks, but was finally discharged for
want of evidence. The prisoners will have a
hearing, Monday.

A FALSE RUMOR.
An Alleged Drunk Found to be But an
"EnjOyment of the HOur.o

CRY OF MEXICO, Aug. 80.
The following reports have been current
here regarding the treatment of Mr.. Sedg-
wick, American special agent in the Cutting
case, who on Friday evening was the guest at
a ball given by the most aristocratic club in
Mexico:
Towards the small hours of the morning
there was the usual flow of champagne and
numerous toasts were drunk in one of the
rooms set apart for the gentlemen. A care
full investigation shows that Sedgwick, while
undoubtedly participating in the enjoyment
of the hour, was in no way treated insolent-
ly. Members of the club and its managers
strenuously deny that any discourtesy was
intended or practised toward Mr.. Sedgwick,
who made an excellent impression. To set
at rest the injurious reports regarding Sedg-
wick, it is proposed by leading representa-
tives of the highest society of Mexico to give
him series of dinners and receptions, in
order to make it evident that he has the es-
TEEN of the Mexicans.

AT NORTHPORT.
NOT a Slsner Obtained at Gen. Dow's
POlitIcaI.Temperance Meeting, but 800
at the Gospel Meeting.

BELFAST, Aug. 80.
1t was great day at Northport Sunday.
In the morning and evening the real gospel
temperance meetings were held. +. L. Noble
of Lewiston presided over the morning meet
ing and declined to allow any political talk
He said: "If this is temperance meeting
let us have a temperance meeting; If it is
political meeting, let US speak for our parties,
each man in his turn. am not going to
preside if this is not a temperance meeting"
This sentiment was received with cheers, and
there was no more political talk. At the
afternoon and evening meetings 800 persons
signed the pledge. Immense crowds were
present. There was no political talk at the
evening meeting. In the afternoon Gen.
Dow and company held their prohibition
party rally, and made their TRADES against
the republican party. 1t is significant that
only half the crowd was present and not one
person signed the pledge. Half of those
present left the meeting in disgust.

THE CHICAGO EXPLOSION.
What an Eye Witness Saw-Condition OF
the Injured.

CHICAGO, Aug 80.
James Dubustock, the only person rho has
been found that saw the explosion of the
powder house Sunday, says he was little
over an eighth of mile from the powder
house when it exploded. He saw a long zig
gag streak of lightning dart across the sky
and then fiery line came down and struck
fairly on the powder house. Then as if it
had been swept away like mist, he saw the
bricks and stones of the powder house sud
denly disappear in the earth. The ground
shook beneath his feet and he clutched at
swaying fence near him.
A deep rumbling noise filled his ears and
the next instant stream of fire shot into the
air like pictures of Mount Vesuvius. He
knew no more for at least ten minutes. His
umbrella was snatched out of his grasp. He
was thrown in ditch. When he recovered
consciousness he saw that the stones and
bricks had fallen all around him. 1t is thought
this morning that Mr.. and Mrs. Gughl will
recover. Geo. kenn, farmer, who was throw n
200 feet from his wagon, is in a dying condi-
ton.
