Anarchist sympathisers Keeping a STIFF
Upper Lip.

Anarchist SymputhiserB Keeping a stiff
Upper Lip*
CHICAGO, Aug. 2l.-There was meeting
last night of all the female relatives of the
sentenced Anarchists, reinforced by men
from all parts of the city. Miss Spies SUBJ
sequently said that over $4,000 was sub
scribed to the fund to carry the case to the
Supreme Court; and she added: ''Fhe law
may be against us by Judge Gary's rulings
and by the special pleas made by Mr.. Grin
nell, but the Supreme Court never will
rule the same way. Judge Phillips and
others have told US that. Think of my
brother being hanged when he was only
trying to do the best he could to help the
wOrkingmen."
1t was reported that Mrs. Holmes made
an energetic plea to the meeting in favor
of awaiting the decision of the Supreme
Court. The women said that they were
not in any fears of starvation or being dis
trained for rent, as the oppressed of all
nations would coma to their succor. When
the meeting dispersed, the women all en-
braced and declared that they would stand
together.
w. H. Parsons, brother OF the condemned
Anarchist, said to reporter last night that
the case would be carried 70 the Suprem
Court of the United States if necessary.
1t is very we'll understood that the leading
exception will be to the refusal of Judge
Gary to give for the defence the instruction
which gave to all men the right to assemble
peaceably, and to repel by force any at
tempt either by the authorities or private
individuals to break up such meeting.
If the State Supreme Court overrules them
on this point they will appeal to the United
States Supreme Court on the ground that
the question is a federal one.
States Attorney G1innell, having COM
pleted his arduous labors III connection
with the anarchist trial, left for New Eng
land and the Eastern seacoast this after
noon. Immediately before leaving the
city Mr., Grinnell held private consulta-
ton at his Office in the Criminal Court
with Capt Setback, Detective Bonheld
and his assistants, Mr.. Walker and Mr..
Furthman. The principal question dis
eusssd was the attituGe of tbs State tow
ard the remaining anarchists in Chicago
who have not been arrested or presented
for Indictment by the Grand Jury.
At the close of the conference the State
Attorney said that the authorities intend
to leave the anarchists alone for a time, to
see whether they have now learned what
the right of free speech means in this

DEATH IN THE FLOOD.
This Wind and Rain storms Ia the sou,h-


west.
VICTORIA, Tex, Aug. 21.--A disastrous
wind-storm visited this city yesterday,
leaving destruction and desolation in it's
track. Altogether about seventy-fve
houses were completely demolished and
11S more or less damaged. Few buildings
escaped uninjured. Business was entirely
suspended. The loss is roughly estimated
at 500, 900.
A dispatch from Galveston says that
during the gale OF Thursday night the
schooner Levonia Perkins was capslzed
and three men were drowned. The cook
saved his life by swimming ten miles.
A special train that went to the relief of
the Indianola sufferers brought back the
report that when the train arrived within
four miles of Indlanola the tracks wer g
washed out very badly, and were partly
gone. The party walked to within half a
mile of the town in water waist deep, and
could go no further. They have nothing
to eat and no clothes. There are sup
posed to be many lives lost, as many per-
sons are missing. The only body found
was that of the sister-iR-law of Mr.. Hodges
of Cuero, Texas Some houses were
burned. The fire is supposed to have
been caused by the lamps in the falling
houses. Among the persons missing are
DIR. Lewis, Capt. Reed, DR.. Rosencrans,
Mrs. Sheppard and family and Mrs. Hodg-
es and two children. Henry Sheppard
was found across the lake baily bruised
bat still alive Mrs. Max Luther lost her
two children. One of them died in her
arms
VICTORIA, Tex, Aug 21.-Intelligence
has just been received from Indianola that
fire broke out there yesterday during a
heavy storm, destroying every building
except two on both sides of the street from
aad including the signal office to Vile
nueve corner. Captain Reed, the signal
officer, and DIR. Rosencranz were crushed
and burned in the signal Office. DIR. Lewis
is missing and is supposed to have been
lost The Knapp family, Mrs. Shepard
and her children, and sister-in- law of DR..
Hodges, of Cuero, are reported to be mis-
sing. The water is said to have inundated
the town worse than during the great storm
of 1875. The railway track is washed away
for two and half mile this side of Indian
ola, rendering communication extremely
difficult. A parry from this city was COM
PEELED to wade that distance in order to
reach the town.

finds, in the character of our nominees,
no stick to beat them with. The record of
every man put in the field for legislative
honors, will be nosed out by our oppon-
ents, in the hope of finding some point
vulnerable to assault. Take care then,
gentlemen of the party, that no man with
an assailable record is put upon the ticket.
Let the reputation of each of our standard
bearers be his best recommendation Don't
think that because the party is strong in
the county or in some districts in it, we
can afford to put up Objectionable or un-
desirable candidates. The party, this year
of all others, cannot afford to be on the
defensive. 1t must not be put to the
necessity of making campaign of apollo
gies for any man 1t will need every
element of strength it can summon to its
assistance before the fight is over. The
first duty of the hour is to choose candi-
dates without personal weaknesses that
may endanger their election.

sEKERAL PERSONS HURT.
A serious Collision on the Baltimore and.
Ohio Railroad.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-What might
have been a serious railroad accident oc-
CURED on the Metropolitan branch of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad where it
crosses M street, in this city. The Chicago
express came round the Y OF its usual
rapid rate of speed, and coming upon The
track of the Metropolitan branch, it ran
down at full speed before stopping to back
int the depot. While going at this rapid
rate, the engineer saw the Hagerstown ac-
commodation standing on the track ahead
of him, waiting to follow his train up to the
depot. He at once endeavored to check
the speed of the express by pulling on the
air brakes, but they would not work, and
in moment his engine went crashing into
the accommodation, badly wrecking the
locomotive of the Hagerstown train and
driving the tender through the front of the
baggage car. The passengers in both trains
were much shaken and bruised, and six or
eight persons were injured, hut there was
no loss of life. Mr.. Alfred Ray, large
landowner near Forest Glen, jumped from
the train, rolled down the steep embank
ment, aud it may be has sustained serious
injury, and lady on one Of the rear cars
was badly cut.
George A. Jeffries, living at Knowles
Station, on the Metropolitan branch, was
injured about head and hips. Thomas
Reed had rib broken. Mrs. Crossen, of
Clifton, Va, received cuts about the body
and had her thumb sprained. James Reed
was thrown from his seat and had his side
injured MIR. Ray, an old gentleman liv-
ing in the First Ward, also received slight
injuries about the side.

Ingersoll is preparing a lecture on Shake
speare. If the s'divine Williams" wants to
save his Bacon he must get out of the pri-
vate box he has occupied for so many years
and dust himself. Perhaps the better way
to settle this question would be to initiate
a competitive examination and let Shake
speare and Bacon each write posthumous
play. 1t is useless to say they can't do it.
Butlhasn't. "Hugh Conway" written twice as
many stories since he died as he did while
living2 And if Shakespeare and Bacon
are not as smart as "Hugh Conway" it is
a safe bet that neither one of them ever
wrote the plays in question.

The fact that the people of B

The fact that the people of Bergen
Heights are actually afraid to incur the
enmity of the cowboys and Indians with
whom Nevada Ned equips his tawdry show
on Bergen avenue, and of the hoodlum
element that they draw to it, by making
formal complaint against the place, is no
excuse for the inaction of the police that
permits the demoralzing exhibition to go
on. The police are not obliged to wait
till some one has put. his neck in danger by
making affidavit against it. They have
power to proceed on their own information.
Every night they see the worst elementin
the city flock to the vacant lots on which
the so-called Indian village has been pitch
ed. Every night they see the place filed
with abandoned women and men of un-
savory repute. They know that frequent
robberies occur right upon the grounds,
and that more than one aisgraceful fight
has taken place among the spectators.
They know that these things make it dis
orderly house of the most pernicious char
acter, and yet they do nothing except look
on and applaud, and, by defending it,
strive to commend the place to the favor
of the people around it. 1t is their duty
as conseryators of the public peace and of
the public morals to shut it up, and they are
guilty of direliction in the failure to do $50.
They know that no resident of the Heights
has the courage to invite the vengeance of
the mob by going into court against them,
and they are playing on the fears of the
people whose homes it is their business to
protect in demanding that some one of
them shall first make formal complaint.
Nevada Ned boastfully declares that he has
the favor of the police in his invasion of
the quiet homes of the Bergen residents,
and his other boast that he has ''more
money than the TATTLER,' may explain
how he secured it. If the police are not
content to rest under the suspicion of hav-
ing been ''seen," let them take the initia-
tive in the suppression of the lawless
show.

If the North end of Hudson County
wants Congressman and is in earnest
about securing the nomination, it must
sink all individual preferences and go to
work in earnest for some one man. Hobo
ken, which has the majority of stock among
the North Hudson corporations, has already
two candidates ID the field. One is Edwin
j. Kerr and the other John G. Besson. AS
the case stands neither can secure the
prize, for Hoboken, with divided delega-
ton, can not make any showing in the con-
vention, and will fritter away what strength
she has, and at the same time lose the
backing of the towns and townships on the
Heights. If Mr.. Besson and Mr.. Kerr
really want the nomination, they shodld
get together and determine between them
selves which is to make the effort-then
let the friends of both unite and they may
do something.

The acquittal of the Chicago Anarchists
would have been great national misfor-
tune. The conviction was, on the other
hand, an act of great courage on tie part
of The jurors who rendered the verdict
They have incurred the deadly hatred of a
desperate gang of outlaws; and each man
in the jury box must have known, when he
wrote equity on his ballot, that he took
his life in his hand. The execution of the
seven merciless wretches who have been
convicted should, however, operate as
wholesome restraint upon those of their
fellows and sympathizers who are disposed
to destruction and carnage. To make the
judgment of the twelve brave jurors as eff
fective as possible, the Illinois authorities
should make the march of the condemned
seven to the gallows as short as possible,
and by further arrests and convictions
should proceed to crush the whole wicked
conspiracy beneath their heels.

The Political Complications Letter
Carriers Dismissal May Arouse.
NEWARK, Aug. 21.- The Eoening Neaos of
tonight says that the dismissal by Post
Master Fielder of letter-carrier William F.
Otis, on the ground of offensive partisan
ship will probably provoke political re-
prisals. Retaliation is threatened upon the
Democrats holding positions under she city
government of which they can be deprived
by Republican votes or influence. Alder
men Hickey, johnson and Gaddis have
been particularly offended by the removal
of Mr.. Otis The last named alderman's
political relations with the discharged letter
carrier have been close, and Mr.. Otis was
with him in Trenton not infrequently dur
ing the past session. 1t is intlmased that
the warpath of revenge on which the
Republican alderman contemplate jour-
ney leads straight to the comptroller's
office. Three Democrats are employed
there as clerks, one of them, Mr.. Egbert,
being like Mr.. Otis, a resident of the Tenth
Ward. 1t is given out that all three of
these clerks ma, be discharged by way of
reprisal for the dismissal of the letter car
rier, and it is announced that MIR. Otis is
to have better and more lucretive posi-
ton than that which he has lost.
The Democrats have heard these threats,
not loud, bnt deep, and if the war be car
ried into Mr.. Quinn's dominions, they will
take hand somewhere else. The Aque-
duct Board is their hold at present, and it
is intimated that if the three Democratic
clerks in the Comptroller's Office be dis
charged, every Republican on the roll of
the Water Commissioners will have to
walk the plank.

Recent land acquisitions in Jersey City
by various corporations only go to prove
what was in the TArTLER nearly year ago
that the time was not far distant when
the railroads would occupy all the land on
which the old town stood before the con-
solidation.' Against the speedy accom-
plishment of the city's manifest destiny
we have no objection to urge. But every
acre of ground swallowed up in this fashion
only increases the burden of taxation on
the remaining property, and it won't be
long before the people of old Jersey City
may wish they were able to say, with the

Andy Allbright's descent upon the DEM
ocratic State Convention has more than
one feature of impudence; but none is
more astounding than his posing as the
laboring mans candidate. One has but to
pick up the sheet, published in the South
Jersey pines, which his money has made
his organ, to see the hollow demagoguey
which marks his pretence. The paper is
an eight page sheet, with six columns to
the page. That, in any honest newspaper
type setting to that class of the laboring
community that set type for living. An
examination of the paper shows that, of the
forty-eight columns, only six columns are
set up by printers. The rest is ''ready
made print" used in the countless papers
that have neither standing nor circulation,
and purchased at the rate of thirty cents or
less per column. If the work of filling
these forty-two columns were given to the
honest working men whose champion Andy
Albright rretends to be, he would throw
appears in his paper, into the hands of labor.
The use of this ready print rot takes from
them just SO much work that rightfully be-
longs to them. The printers all over the
country hold the ''patent inside" ready
printed matter to be swindle upon the
craft, and feel so strongly about it that no
renutabla TYNE settlers will work on papers
that use it. So that in the very sheet in
which he loudly proclaims himself as the
working mans candidate, Andy Albright
weekly cheats the working printers out of
what of right belongs to them. If his
canvass had any vigor in it at all. full un-
Outstanding of this fact among the work
ing men of this State would destroy it be-
yond all hope Of resurrection.
