 CHICAGO, July 17.-An impression that anarchism had been cured in Chicago by last November's execution was dissipated to-day by the revelation of 8 dynamite plot which, had it succeeded, would have been as de. structive to life and property as the Haymar- ket massacre. Among the persons to have been sacrificed were the officials who con- tributed strongly to the vindicatien of the law on the former occasion. About ten days ag0-a prominent Bohemian called on Inspector Bonfeld and informed him of @ plot to avenge the execution of Spies, Par sons and others by blowing up the residences of Judge Julius s. Grinnell, the State attor- ney when the Anarchists were tried; Judge Gary, the presiding judge, and Inspector Bon6e1d, the prime mover of the arrests which followed the Haymarket affair and who furnished most of the evidence which brought four of the principals to the gal lows, forced another into a suicides
 
 to Joliet. The inspector was not slow in acting upon the tip thus given and by careful shadowing and by other skillful detective work succeeding in weaving web of incontestable facts about at least three men and arresting them this morning. They are all Bohemians. The ringleader is John Hronek, a cabinet maker, who lives at Z, 952 Farrell street. He is Bohemian. The other men are Frank Chapell, who lives at 498 West Twentieth street, and Frank Chebowa, a tailor living on Zion Place. The latter told the story of the plot to the Bohemian, who detailed it to Inspector Bonfeld. After the executions movement was started among the followers of revolution and chaos by which the groups which disbanded almost as soon as the bomb burst were to be reorgan- ized, it appears, to do business at the old stand. It was thought dangerous in the light of past events to have the groups composed of an unlimited number because it would in- crease the possibility of informers making their appearance when silence was very gold den. It was concluded that each group as reorganized was to have no more than three members with each of tho thtee members well acquainted with the others who com posed the group. When formed it was thought that f'squealing" in the anarchists ranks in the future would become . lost art.
 The three men arrested to-day constituted a group and in the hands of these was left, by whom it is not yet known, the pleasant occupation of blowing up residences until the act of last November was considered fully wiped out in blood. The group now incar- cerated in the cells under City Hall had no regular meeting place where plans could be discussed, but they met casually as friends and over 8 glass of beer concocted their bold and bloody schemes. It was agreed that Grinnslls house was the first to go skyward, but not unless the ex-attorney was an inmate when the explosion took place Judge Gsry's house was the next one marked and last Sat urday night was the time set for carrying out the plot. It was not fully determined how Inspector Bonfeld was to be removed. He was the third one on the list and was doom ed to die with the others, but how was not fully decided upon.
 Inspector Bonfeld tonight in modest, quiet way told the story of the plot and cap- ture. Said he: GA week or ten days ago a gentleman drew my attention to the fact of @ conspiracy which included an attempt on the lives of Judge Grinnell, Judge Gary and myself. This came to the gentleman's knowl- edge from a Bohemian on the west side. whose name decline to give. Investigation satisfied us that 8 conspiracy had been formed. We found that three men had been to Aldine where Judge Grinnen lives on July f. and that Judge Grinnell had noticed them there. The conscience or oowardice of one of the men could not bear the strain and he shortly gave up the secret, which then came QQlCklY to our ears, aB nave hlTodQy bCatoO We learned the whereabouts of the men with- out difficulty, and late last night procured warrants from Justice Lyon for the arrest of the three. Besides Lieutenant Elliot and four of his men we had two other officers along who speak Bohemian. The first place we went to was 2, 1859 Farrell street where the chief of the trio lived We arrived there about o'clock this morning. but having been informed that he had revolvers, dyna- mite and daggers, poisoned, perhaps, we con- cluded not to enter, but wait developments. The fellow came out about o'clock. We arrested him without difficulty, he being taken entirely by surprise. His name was and he was dressed in blue fan mel suit. We searched the house and found small portion of The plot had made rapid advancement, for on July 4 Hronek detailed himself to examine the premises of Judge Grinnelrs house in occupants. When he reported to his com- paniens that night the enormity of the of fense began to dawn upon the mind of Che bown. He wrestled with his feelings for sev- ! eral days and finally made up his mind to ask I advice from friend. The latter hurried to the police department and told his story. In the houses of all three numerous weap- ! ems were found and enough dynamite to have | blown up several of the largest buildings in the city. It is stated in this connec- ton that the three men were present \ at She Haymarket and that Hronek received a number of bombs and some dynamite from friend of the cause who was present When asked what he had done with his | stuff he replied quite readily that he had \ thrown it into the river. It is supposed however, that the stuff found to-day is some given to him on that fatal evening. Hronek and Chapell were intimate friends of Louis
 Lingg, the bombmaker, and both were ar rested after the Haymarket riot. Chief Hub
 bard says there will be more arrests made to night, but refuses to give any further infor nation.
