Anarchy Still Lxlsts in Formidable
Proportions in Chicago.

The Chicago Times of few days ago
printed interviews with ex. Police Captain
Shack, Agitator George Schilling and
others showing that anarchy Is still present
in formidable proportions in Chicago. The
estimate of the total membership of the Sc
cret groups vary FROM 200 TO 100 down to
800. The members of this organization,
whatever their real number are the advo-
Gates Of violence, and one OF them, unnamed,
is quoted as wing that the organization
has practically abandoned dependence on
dynamite on the ground that Is more dan
gerous TO the persons handling it than to
their enemies. The anarchists are claimed
TO be much better armed tn N ut the time of
the Haymarket riot. A favorite idea with
them now is 20 use the "fre can, and at
tack property instead OF life. AT present
the main purpose is organization with the
view OF putting themselves at the head OF
labor revolt, should one soon happen.

pistol and killed himself There had
been some difficulty between the pair,
and they have not lived together for some
time. The tragedy occurred in the school
building. Allen hired a cab on PennsyI-
vania avenue and told the driver to take
him to the Jefferson building. Upon ar.
irving there he alighted and told
the driver to wait until he wanted
him. Then he walked up the stone
steps and passed through the hall
into the cloak-room adjoining the Tbom
whore his wife was engaged as teacher.
He showed himself to her and beckOned
her to the door. She came toward him.
As she reached the threshold of the cloak
room he drew a pistol and shot her in the
left temple. Then, turning the pistol, he
shot himself through the right temple.
Both fell to the floor of the cloak-roo1n.
The children in the sehool-room, who had
witnessed the frightful scene, rushed
from the room in panic and spread the
alarm. Lieutenant Vernon and two pO-
Hcemen soon arrived on the scene. The
woman was found to be still alive. She
was removed to the schoOl-room, and

nation and dressed the wound, which,
however, was pronounced fatal.
The stairway was thrQnged with the
frightened teachers and children, while
outside an immense thrOng blocked the
sidewalk. In the confusion, some one
had turned in an alarm Of fire, and the
gathering crowd was augmented when
the engines arrived. The remains Of
Allen were taken away to the morgue,
but Mrs. Allen was left on a couch tenn
pOfarily prepared in one corner of tho
school-room. A short time before she
had been cheerily talking to the pupils.

years. She was in charge of a third

ANOTHER NATURAL WONDER.
Spirits-Of-TurpentIne- Bearing Web
Discovered in Georgia.


Discovered in Georgia.
SAVANNAH, Ca, May 1s.-A special to
the Times from Donaldson, Ga, says
Laurens County is intensely excited over
the discovery of spirits of turpentine.
Gas has been observed coming from the
well ever since il was dug two years ago.
More than a month ago the water became
so impregnated with turpentine that it
could not be used for drinking purposes.
A few days ago a bucket Of cOlored tur-
pentine was hauled out. An investigation
was made, and fourteen barrels were
drawn of. In few hours the spirits
had risen to the same height. A barrel
of it reached Savannah yesterday morn
ing and experts pronounced it the pure
article. 1t is not believed that the well
has been "salted," and the mystery IS so
far inexplicable. The find is the talk>of
the day at the Board of Trade here, and
little dealing in turpentine will be done
until further results are obtained from
the well.
