Counsel Green and Assistant knight
finished, to-day, the city's reply to the bill
filed by the anarchists in support of an
injunction restraining the city from inter-

for an unlawful purpose, and that it agi-
tated principally destruction OF the existing
forms of society.

held q meeting in Mueller's Hall, the even
ing OF December 8. This meeting took the
place Of the advertised one in Grifis Hall,
which had been closed by the police.

the hall door, and it was thought that only
avowed anarchists were admitted. There
present $50 men and 60 women. To ave
themselves they met under the name of the
Reichstags Verein. Albert Curtain ad-
dressed the meeting in ~incendiary and un.

THE CONVICTION or BAUEnIsS.


"-"
One Of the Alleged "a. D~ynanaiters Found
Guilty or Conspiracy, Etc.
GENEVA, Ill, December 24.-Bauefisn, the
Burlington q Quincy iynamiter. was found
guilty and sentenced to two years in the
p~enitentiary.
The officials OF the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy Railroad Company say they had
hoped for a longer time, but they are, new
ertheless, pleased with the verdict. There
were two counts 10 the Indictment, one for
unlawful use Of dynamite, the least penalty
of which, under the statute. is FIVE years.
The other was for conspiracy to use
dynamite, the penalty for which is only
two years. The jury convicted under the
the lightest count. 1t wa evidently a
compromise verdict. An appeal has been
prayed for by the counsel of Bauerisn.
The prosecution OF the cases against Bau-
erisn's co-conspirators in the state courts
and against Bauerisn and his confederates
in the federal courts win depend somewhat
upon the action OF the appellate court in
Bauerisn's app cal.
John A. Frederick, one OF Bauerisn's CO.
defendants who is nov in jail here, was
seen after the announcement of the verdict.
He said when told the result OF the trial,
"Well, they have convicted an innocent
man, and | could ha 70 proved that if they

A BAD accident happened to the rail-
way train on which the Gear was travel
ing, recently, a result being that all the
railway employees in any way connected
with the Cars train, were discharged.
An investigation into the causes of the
disaster has resulted in a verdict-doubt-
less to appease the Cars anger-that it
was due to a criminal conspiracy. And
now all the discharged railway employees
are to be arrested, and, whether guilty of
the charge or not, will doubtless be sent
to Siberia for life or hanged in the pris-
ons. Such is life under a "strong gov
ernment," such as some would like to see
existing in the United States.
