of Anarchy.
CHICAGO. Oct. 14.-When the Stars and
Stripes were raised al the socnlistc mass
meeting here yesterday the flag WAS greeted
with Kisses. There were probably a
thousand men aud women in the hall. The
banner was brought out by the ianitor, who
fastened it so the folds of the flag fell on
the stage at the feet Of those who were 10

increased in volume. red flag WIS then
unfurled and fastened on the opposite side
Of the platform. Immediately the kissing
ceased and was succeeded bya loud burst of
applause. After this demonstration the
New York Socialist, Shevitsch, made n
violent speech, the points of which were
loudly applauded. He WIS proud of Chica-
go. the city in which the anarchists were
hanged because he felt that one day il would
be the Paris, the city of revolutions, of
America. Awful discomfort il smoldering
in the hearts of the laborers. and il il use
less and idle To think that the revolution
which will soon burst forth will be peace
full one.

General Manager kimb ali Gives His
View, on the Situation.
General Manager Kimball OF the Union
Pacific, in speaking of the Tenth street via
dnct proposition, said 'The Union Pacific,
when it asked for a vote of Sl5O,000 in bonds
in connection with the union depot and via
duct, based its cost of construction on via.
duct sixty feet wide. AT this width and with
the proposed length and style of the struc-
ture. an outlay of at least $500, 900 would be
required. | can see no reason why vaduct
100 feet wide should be constructed. That
would be out of reason entirely. The widest
viaduct in the United States, Manhattan
bridge in New York city is only eighty feet.
while the new vladuct leading out to Brighton
beach at the same point is only sixty feet.
Now, independent of this, If you build a
wide viaduct of the proposed kind, the liz h
IS shut out from the buildings that are lower
than its surface, which means great deal.
Then, too, with a narrow or sixty-foOt wa
duct, sufficient room Is left for driyeways on
either side, SO that teams can pass alongside
and under the structure from the commence
ment of the incline on either end. There are
other good reasons why the viaduct should
not be over sixty feet wide. But will say
this, that II the city thinks that by voting
Sl50,OO0 it can crowd on structure that Will
cost S350,OOO or si0O, 900, there is serious
mistake, for under such circumstances there
will be neither depot or viaduct, as far as
the Union Pacific IL concerned"

Ever since the park was established by the

The BEE. This morning Il. J. Lewis, a
young man working In a livery stable at this
place, struck an old man who makes his liv-
ing by doctoring horses. over the head with
a chair, inflicting a serious, perhaps fatal
wound. The wounded man was drunk and
had threatened to do Lewis up. No one was
present when the quarrel occurred, but it is
supposed that the old man attempted to
carry out his threat. Lewis left town, but
while the sheriff was after him he returned
of his own accord and gave himself up. He
was charged with assault and battery with
intent to kill, and, waving examination, was
bound over. His bonds were fixed at $500
and promptly furnished. The condition of
his victim is very serious tonight and the
chances for his recovery seem poor
