CHICAGO, ILL.,, July l7-Ii the four exc
cutions last November were supposed TO
have had a sedative effect on organized
anarchism in Chicago, the events of today
have disproved it. Today events occurred
which bring the Haymarket massacre with
its attending horrid details and its subse-
quent tragic events again before the public
gaze. Today has revealed plot which, in
its results, would have been iullyas blight
ing to life and property as was the dread
full event OF the night of May 4, 1886. The
public officials who had contributed their
individual efforts toward the vindication
OF the law, as it was then violated, were
the ones whose lives were to be sacrificed,
and by that dreaded agent Of assassina-
tion-dynamite. About ten days ago, a
prominent Bohemian called on Inspector
Bonfeld and informed him that plot was
on foot, the object OF which was 10 avenge
the execution OF Spies, Parsonset al,
by BLOWING UP WITH DYNAMITE.
the residence OF Judge julius Grinnell,
who was the States attorney when the
anarchists were tried; Judge Gary, who
was the presiding judge, and also the resi-
dence of the inspector himself, who had
been the prime moverof the arrests which
followed the llaymarket affair, and who
furnished most Of the evidence which
brought four Of the principals to the gal
lows, forced another into a suicides grave
and sent three others to Joliet. The
inspector was not slow in acting upon the
Tip" thus given, and by careful shadow
ing and other skillful detective work sue
ceeded in weaving web, rs he claims, Of
incontestible facts about at least
thiee men and auesting them this
morning. The name OF the ring
leader is John Pronek, and he lives at
2,9j2 Farrell street lie is a Bohemian,
and a cabinet-maker by trade. The other
man is Frank Chapek, who lives at 40S
West Twentieth street. lie is also Bo-
hemian, az is the third man, whose name
is Frank Chebowa, tailor living on Zion
Place, and who is the informer who told
THE STORY or THE PLoT
TO the Bohemian, who in turn detailed il
TO Inspector Boniield.
II seems that since the execution a
movement was started among the follow
ers Of revolution and chaos in Chicago by
which the groups which disbanded al
most Ms soon rs the llaymarket bomb
bunted, were TO be reorganized, IL appears
TO do business at the old stand. 1t was
thought dangerous in the light Of past
events TO have these groups composed Of
an unlimited number, because IL would
increase the possibility Of iniormers max
ing their appearances at the most critical
periods when silence was very golden. IL
was concluded that each group reorganizcd
was to have no more than three members,
with each Of the three members well
acquainted with the others who
composed the group when formed, Il was
thought that "squealing in the anarchists
ranks in the future would become a lost
art. The three men arrested today con-
stitu,ed group, and in the hands ol these
was left, by whom Il is not yet known, the
pleasant occupation Of blowing up resi-
dences until the act OF last November was
considered fully wiped out in blood. The
group now incarcented In the cells under
the City Hall had no regular meeting
place where plans could be discussed, but
they met casually US friends, and over a
glass Of beer

SCHEMES.
II was agreed that Grinnell's house was
the first one TO go skyward, but not unless
the ex-State's attorney was an inmate
when the explosion took place. Judge
