Barrett was reported dying, and there APP.
pears to be little hope of saving the lives
of officers Millen, Jacob, Hansen and
Redden. The remaining twenty four po.
licmen in the county hospital wards all
have a show for recovery, but some are
extremely low.
p. M.-The police have arrested
John Carpenter, one of the printers on
the ArJeiter Zeitung, whom they claim
to have perfect evidence against as the
man who threw the bomb which caused
the havoc and murder last night. He is
closely guarded.
Another outbreak at the corner of
Eighteenth street and Center avenue oc-
CURED about 3 p. m. Crowds lined the
sidewalks for several blocks, but were
being kept in motion as much as possible.
Suddenly a bottle was hurled from the
vicinity of a drug store at several police
who were situated on an opposite corner.
The officers fired, when the mob scattered
in every direction. Whether anyone
was seriously injured or not it was impos-
sible to ascertain.
Inquest over the remains Of Police o.

anarchist mob last night, was concluded
at $40 p. n. this evening. Chris Spies
and Michael Schwab. W of the prisoners.
made statements in their own behalf
which damaged rather than helped them.
Schwab admitted that he didn't believe
in a personal God. Fielden made a state
ment that was substantially the same,
August Spies ma5e no statement, and
the jury retired. They were out half an
hour and then agreed on a verdict, recon-
mending that all the prisoners be held Tor
murder without bail and Parsons be APP
pretended and held. One of the police
men who raided tie Arbiier Zeitmg Of
fee gave some sensational testimony. He
said that on a shelf in Spies private
room he found a bundle containing saw
dust and nitro-glycerine. 1t looked ex-
actly the same as they found on Des-
PLANES street after the explosion, only ii
was not so hard. Witness described
the effect of the explosion on some rocks
underneath which it was placed. Frag-
ments of boulders were carried away an
immense distance. Most of the stuff"
concluded the officer, lis stored in a vault,
and one of our men, who is an expert,
says there is enough in it to blow up this
building"
Mrs. A. r. Parsons, wife of the fugi-
tive anarchist, was arrested this afternoon
and was locked up at the Central station.
She was present this morning wheu the
officers made the raid on the ArJter
Zeitmg building, but the officers didn't
then wish to arrest her. They planned to
shadow her, hoping that she would make
some appointment with her husband, so
that the latter could be captured. Late in
the afternoon an officer burst open the
private desk of Parsons at his place of
business, and in doing so found that the
drawers contained a large quantity of
powder, fuse and other explosives. Oneof
the explosives was a brass cartridge Of the
kind used 10 heavy blasting, and was six
inches long and one and one half inches in
diameter. 1t was full of giant powder,
with fuse attached, ready for lighting.
Parsons had not been caught up to the
time of writing. Search was made for
him at his home, but he was not found.
His mulatto wife told the police that her
husband was so well hid that there was no
danger of his being found.
A secret plot among the Bohemian an
archists in the southwestern section of the
city to start incendiary fires in the lumber
district to night, was revealed to the police
by a man in the employ of the detectives
late this afternoon. The plot included
preparations to cut the hose of the fire de-
partmeut and disable their machinery.
The preparations of the police are ample
to cope with incendiarism. An extra fire
tug will be sent up the river, and the dis
trict will be carefully patrollcd. The
police at Hindman street are on the alert,
and any move on the part of the incendl-
aries will be summarily dealt with.
