THE STRIKERS.
Bloody Collision with the Authorities at
Fort Worth.

OF. Louis, April Sine details
of the desperate affair at Fort
Worth, Tex, are given as follows
in specials to the Post Dispatch:
At 1l:30 the engine left Hodge
and at ll:35 o'clock steamed into
the yards. The train consisted of
the caboose aud ten cars loaded !
with coal. AS the train approach.
ed Sixteenth street crowd rolled
out, but halted on the hne of right |
of way and remained there.
Not a man made a move toward
the train, but at the lower end Of |
the yard three women, wives of
strikers, appeared on the track,
one Of them armed with a red flag,
which she waved as a signal for
the engineer to stop. No atten.
tion was paid to this, and the train
passed on out by the union depot
and continued on its journey
south. The suggestive silence
that marked the passage of the
train through the city vas not
without its sequel. When the
train left the depot it was under
the protection of "a posse of twelve
officers.
The tram proceeded slowly to
the crossing of the Fort Worth
and New Orleans Railway about
a mile and half south of town,
where it stopped as is customary
before crossing. The switch was
found open and two men stood
near the crossing. The officers
approached the switch aud as they
did so they discovered FIVE men
with Winchester rifles partly con.
cealed in the weeds few yards
distant. The entire posse advanc-
ed toward the men in ambush.
They had reached the switch along
side the track when they ordered
the throwing up of hands. The
command was obeyed, but as the
hands came up they brought Win
chester rifles.
The officers were armed only
with revolvers and they demanded
the surrender of the strikers
Both sides opened fire almost sim
ultaneously, there being no more
than two seconds between the
time the first and second shots
were fred. After the first fire
the posse advanced and continued
firing. The strikers retreated be
hind some piles of ties which
formed a most excellent breast
works, and from the security o
which they poured a murderou'
fire into the posse.
The casualties among the poss,
were found TO be three. Polio,
Officer Tulford was shot through
both thighs. Special Officer Dicl
, Townsend was shot twice through
the left breast near the nipple
He died at $50 o'clock this after
noon. Special Officer Chas. Snee,
+ was shot through the throat an
jaw. His wounds are fatal.
About 80 shots were fred in al
? when the posse, seeing it was use
8 less to fight Winchesters with rt
0 volvers, placed the wounded of
:. GERS aboard the train aud returne
y to the union depot.
9 One of the strikers was kille
G and several were hit.
g The Governor and other Stat
s officers speedily repaired to th
d scene; and several hundred Stat
J, troops were concentrated there.

ROADS.
Appeal

The roads OfcOntinentsl Europe,
which are praised by travellers,
were built by utilizing the labor
of prisoners. If cOnviets cannot
be used in manufacturing, and
those engagedin the sale of prison
wares are to be bOyeotted, there
is no alternative left but TO put
the eonviets on the public roads.
With such opposition to convict
labor and its products bOyeotted
there is left no indoor trade.
Road work is the only avenue by
which convict labor can escape
the wrath of honest men. Good
roads would be worth more to the
people than the tax paid to sup
port the eonvicts.

feet as follows: "The imperial government

MUST HANG.
Judge Gary Overrules the Motion
For a New Trial For the
Chicago Anarchists,
And Says That the Verdict of Death
: As Given in by the Jury
Shall Stand.
Bound to Hang.

CHICAGO, Oct. Judge Garry in the
criminal court, this morning, overruled the
motion for new trial of the cases of the
eight anarchists charged with the hay
market massacre and confirmed the verdict
of the jury, that Spies, Parsons, Fielden,
Schwab, Engel, Fischer and Lining should
be hanged, and that Neebe should suffer
imprisonment for fourteen years.
Spies made fierce harangue in favor of
anarchy and declaring his innocence of the
haymarket bomb throwing Schwab also
spoke. Lingg began making speech after
Neebe and Schwab had concluded and after
he had finished the court at sos p. m. ad-
journed to 10 O'clock tomorrow without
ormally passing sentence. ..s-
In the course of his speech Spies said
'Honorable Judge, the demons of hellwould
join in the laughter that follows your SEN
tence. If the opinion of the court is to be-
country who could not lawfully be hanged.
/ say that upon that law every person in
this country could be convicted Of conspir-
acy, or as the case might be, for murder.
Every member of the trades union, Knights
OF Labor, or any such organization can be
convicted Of conspiracy. # you carry that
for the blood that will be shed and the
blood of the innocent will come upon you.
Seven policemen have died, said Grinnell,
and you want life for life, and
have convicted an equal num-
Der Of men Of whom it cannot be truth
fully said that they had anything to do
victims. The very same system Of juris-
prudence can be found among various saw
age people and tribes. Injuries are equal
iZed so to speak, by the infliction of a SIM
liar wrong to that received at their enemies
hands. They are not particular as to the
responsibility or the identity of the persons
sacrificed" Then tlourshing his arms
wildly Spies fiercely shrieked: 81 shall die
proudly, detiantly for the cause of justice.
There is Socrates, there is Galileo, there is
Giordano Bruno, there is Christ Why, the
number cannot be estimated Of those who
have trodden in these paths, and we are
ready to follow them"
Neebe abandoned himself to a wild ap-
peal for the judge to hang him with the
others. He said it would be more honora-
bic to be strangled by the neck than to die
by inches. Fischer said:
81 don't deny that was one of the party
who summoned this meeting in the hay
market, but | know no more about the
throwing of the bomb than Mr.. Grinnell
does,sperhaps." ,.... d..
Here Mr.. Solomon rose and going over to
Fischer whispered something in his ear.
Fischer, turning around, said sharply,
"Don't interrupt; know what am talk
ing about" Solomon retired, and Fischer
continued: .>.r. .....

Get Out Of Politics or Office.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-Among the of
ficials directly affected by the presidents
conclusion that candidate for an elector-
al Office should relinguish his federal office,
are A. K. Delaney, United States attorney
for the eastern district of wisconsin,. and
P. H. Kumler, United States attorney for
the southern district of Ohio. Mr.. Delaney
was appointed to his present Office by Pres
ident Cleveland mainly through the efforts
of Gen. Bragg, and has now been nomi-
mated to succeed that gentleman in con-
gress. The cabinet considered the ques-
general principle that an official desiring to
enter the political campaign had better
give up his office. 1t is therefore likely
that changes will shortly be made in both
of the offices. ~, r.

A Pointer to o Officeholders.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The cabinet meet
ing to-day was attended by Secretaries En-
dicott and Lamar, Attorney General Gar
land, Postmaster General Villas and Acting
Secretary Fairchild. An interesting ques-
tion arose in the case of United States at
torney, who has been nominated for con-
gress, with regard to the propriety of his
continuing in office. pending the result of
opinion expressed was that the incumbent
had better resign his federal office, and he
will be so informed. This action is in ac-
cordance with the recent executive order in
regard to federal officials participating in
politics.

OTHER ARRESTS.
SIOUX CITY, Ia, Oct. 1.-The news of
the arrest of II. L. Leavtt in connection
with the Haddock assassination, created a
sensation here to-day. Leavitt is expected

that he will seek to shield himself by telling
what he knows of the conspiracy. Fred NJ
Munchrath, Jr., and Henry Sherman were
also arrested here this afternoon as parties
to the conspiracy. John ArensdOrf was
arrested in Davenport, where he had gone
to attend the grand Lodge Of the Knights
of Pythias. A number of other warrants
were issued this evening, but the names of
the parties have not been made public.
