To be Hanged

CHICAGO, August 20.-The verdict IN
the case of the anarchists, whose trial in
Chicago has consumed sixty days, is as
follows:
We, the jury, find the defendants, Au-
gust Spies, Michael sehwab, Samuel
sFielden, Albert r. Parsons, Adolph Fis-
cher, George Esngel and Louis Lngg gull
ty of murder as charged in the Indictment,
and fix the penalty at death. We find the
defendant, Oscar ". Neebe, guilty Of
murder in the manner and form as charged
| in the Indictment, and fix the penalty at
imprisonment in the penitentiary at from
eight to fifteen years.
Captain Black asked that the jury be
polled. The jurymen answered with firm
voices. Captain Black said he would
make motion for a new trial. States
Attorney Grinnell said it would be impos-
sible to dispose of the motion during the
present term, but by agreement the motion
could be argued at the September term.
This was agreed to by the defense. The
court said: 'sLet the motion be entered
and continued until the next term, and
the defendants taken to jail.''
1t is understood that the authorities
now contemplate the immediate arrest Of
all persons even indirectly connected with
the HaYmarket tragedy for conspiracy,
and that on this knowledge many Of the
active leaders, hearing the outcome of the
verdict are preparing to leave the city.
At o'clock this afternoon q large force
of police was gathered at the Chicago ave-
nue. police station under command Of Cap
tains Setback and Little. Later Chief
Ebersold arrived. 1t is the current rumor
about town that the police have a list OF
nearly 800 men who were engaged in the
anarchist conspiracy and that wholesale
arrests will henceforth be the order. It is
reported that the names of Mrs. Parsons
and Mrs. Holmes are among those for
whom warrants have been issued, charg-
ing them with conspiracy.

HELENA, August 18.-I met Henry Jur-
gems, of Jurgens 6 Price, at Rock creek.
They have the tie contracts ON the Mon
tana Central. Mr.. Jurgens was going,
with force of seyenty-fye men and an
outfit, to the head of the North Fork OF
Sun river to cut ties to be 1oated down to
the mouth of Sun river for the Montana
Northern.
It is rumored here that Hill has made
arrangements with the Union Pacific for
shipping rails and hence the haste to COM
plete the line to Butte.
| Work on the Montana Central is pro-
crossing as lively as ever, excepting the
tunnel. The line will be ready to receive
the rails from Helena to point ten miles
below the mouth of the Prickly Pear by
the middle of next month. They are now
building bridges and rp-raping The grade
at needed points,
J. j. Hill and the directors OF the Mon
tana Central, are expected in the territory
in about ten days.
The supreme court wrestled with the in
junction case yesterday, and just as a de
cision was expected they called for ora
argument, which will be heard to-day. Il
will be battle of legal giants. Sanders

Northern Pacific, and Chumasero & Nc
Cutcheon and e. w. Toole for the Mon

be rendered this evening This unex
pected action of the court makes it lool

The Railroad Injunction Case ia the Supreme
Court.

On the 18th inst. at Helena, the appear
of the Helena 6 Red Mountain from the
Injunction of the Montana Central was
heard in the supreme court, Judges Gal
braith, MeLeary and Bach occupying the
bench. Judge Wade, under the new law,
had to remain aside, he being the judge
before whom the cause was heard in the
lower court. The oral arguments were
made by Messrs. w. W. Dixon and W. +.
Sanders, for the appellants, and Messrs.
I. D. McCuteheon and E. w. Toole for
the Montana Central. The arguments
were said to have been very able, devel-
oping a great display of forensic, logic
and legal acumen. The majority of the
court decided to sustain the Injunction.
Judge McLeary d1ssented in so far as the
right of way was concerned, in which re-
gard he thought the Injunction should be
modified; perhaps when he considered
and filed his written opinion he might not
dissent as to the depot grounds and grade
crossings. Mr.. Dixon, for the appellants,
here presented a petition asking for spe-
eial term Of the district court to adjudicate
the points at issue in the case, setting forth
that owing to the approach Of winter be-
| fore the regular session of the district
court, the Ell. 6 r. NJ. would be seriously
delayed in their work, etc., etc. =. W.
Toole spoke against the petition.
The other members Of the court left
the matter in the hands of Chief Justice
Wade, this being his district, and he,
speaking for the court, ordered special
| term of the district court to meet at the
court house in Helena on Monday, the
23d inst.
| Ir will be remembered that Judge
Wade's opinion in granting the injunction
contemplated that the Helena & Red Noun
tain could not use the right of way, depot
grounds or grade of the Montana Central
except upon necessity, which necessity
was to be decided by court of competent
| jurisdiction.
| It would appear that pending the decis-
sion as TO necessity an order may be given
| in open district court for the encroaching
road to continue work, first putting up
bonds for indemnifcation It is to OBJ
tain, if possible, this order that the Helena
& Red Mountain will apply at this special
| term Of court.

In Bolivia the merchants set the fash

follow the style. A writer from POtoSi
says: Among the women their pros

OF skirts they wear. j should call them
Il well-to-dO set. Some wear as many
as IA dozen. The stuff universally used
is a cloth with long hair, called "bag-
letta." 1t is made of eatton, with some
woal mixed in. 1t is made in England,
and has become staple article in
Bolivia. The Qulchoa women have their
fashions the same as their more favored
sisters, only their changes do not neces-
state any additional expense. They
simply change the color or the bagletta.
For many a year OF more it will be dark
