switch board, and by wetting the insulation of
the wires and the crossing of currents, actually
disabled the Office for a time, but this was soon
overcome, and whatever danger from fire ex-
listed passed away, and apprehension was Gained.
Much arrangement of wires took place. however
in the immediate vicinity of tie city, and for
two or three hours the working facilities of the

The State Bonds.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journals

decided they should be paid. The United States
Court never decided so. Judge Biddle decided
the case in the Cass County Circuit Court, al

against the Landowners.

CHE MAN WHO THREW TIE BOMB.
An Important Arrest at Chicago-A Iife-and-
Death Struggle with Detective.

CHICAGO, May 14.@A man named T,or;s
Lingy was arrested this evening while in hiding
at No. 80 Ambrose street The police nm
reseryedly declare he is the man who threw the
death-dealing bomb into their ranks week
ago Tuesday. Before that date Lngy lived
on Clybourn avenue, but up to this evening
had not been seen since the massacre. His cap.
ture was made on information furnished by one
of the Arbeter lettings employees. The police
say there is no shadow of doubt Of the mans
guilt, and the events of tonight throw some
credibility upon their statement. It is thought
the arrest is one of the most important made
yet, with the exception of the capture of the in
stigators of the horrible crime. Lingy is said
to have been in the employ of Spies, and has
been, since May 8, ''the missing man." AT the
police station he was put through rigorous
examination, lasting three hours At last
LinGy made statement, the extent OF which
the police refuse to disclose, and detectives In
large numbers We're hurriedly dispatched to
Clyborn avenue for the persons implicated by
his confession. It is understood that the police
made no promises to Lingy, but gained theiE
information by other means, Just what they re-
fuse to say. Liney is German, and by trade
carpenter. He has only been in this country
eight months. In his trunk. at the lodgings he
vacated the night of the massacre the polica
have since found two bombs of the same de-
the Haymarket.
The details of the miscreants capture form
thrilling recital A squad of detectives were
sent to the squaid boarding house where he has
been secreting himself. One officer was chosen
TO enter Lingys room while the others
guarded every means of eeress it being
understood that if the officer did not
reappear with his prisoner in less than exactly
three minutes, all were to burst into the apart
ment The three minutes were anyiousiy
counted Neither officer nor Anarchist appeared.
With beating hearts, the detective closed and
flung themselves against Lngy's door. They
had not done a second too soon. The desper-
ate Anarchist and their comrade were locked in
deadly struggle. Lingy. upon the entrance oil
the first detective. had instinctively grasped q
revolver lying on table, but the officer had
been too quick for him, and the two men were
in an instant rolling over one another on tho
floor, each striving for his life. Lingy was
quickly removed to the station and subjected ia
all the ordeals that the ingenuity of the police
could suggest to force him to disclose his confed-
crates At late hour the police absolutely res
fuse to say who or how many of Lingy's accom-
plices they have in custody.
