THE ANARCHISTS HOPE.
Ben. Buffers Process to Release
Them.

Preparations have been made TO secure
the release from the penitenu iry or the
anarchists Fielden, Schwab and Neebe, by
"A method heretofore not limited at in the
case. In short time an application will
be made 10 Judge Gresham for writ of
habeas corpus on the ground that the pris-
oners are detained without due process of
law. Gen. benjamin +. Butler says that
the effort will almost beyond doubt be sue
cesSful, the opinion being based on the eX-
pressions OF the United States supreme
court in the proceedings heretofore brought
before that body.
The anarchists lawyers say the writ of
ha beas corpus will be asked for on the
ground that after the sentence of death
was passed upon the condemned anarch-
lists and Neebe was doomed TO spend ID
years in the penitentiary the case was
appealed TO the supreme court where the
finding OF the lower court with the sentence
OF death for Spies, Parsons, Lingg, Fischer,
Enget, Schwab and Fielden was affirmed.
The prisoners were not taken before the
supreme court 10 hear this affirmation of
their sentences and their lawyers were not
even notified TO be present. The claim was
made that this was breach or their consti-
tional rights, and that the constitution
went even so far as to say that sentence
of DEATH rendered III the absence OF the
prisoners, was not due process OF law.
Gen. Butler writes under date OF May 10:
After giving sufficient examination to
the record in the Sc of Fielden. have
come FULLY TO the conclusion that such
action is erroneous in that 1t was an At.
tempt to take his life without due process
OF law. l therefore advise very strongly
your taking writ OF error TO have such
procedure corrected by the judgment of the
supreme court of the United States, if
any technical objections are made TO the
circuit court for writ of habeas corpus
for tielden, because under that writ the
facts az well as the law can be discussed
and forms are of no consequence when they
stand in the WY OF due course OF justice.
OF course the decisions of the questions
relieve any of his fellows who are suffering
from the same errors, ii decided as | be-
lieve they must be, save the men whose
lives have been taken without due process
OF law

THE SIBERIAN CRULTIES.

LONDON, May 15.-If the car does not
take steps TO modify the workings and eff
fects of the prison system in Siberia it will
not be because the existing evils are not
called TO his attention, or, at least TO the
notice Of his ministers and others
around him. Dispatches from St Peters
burg state that petitions from England,
America, Germany, France and other
countries are arriving at the respective en-
bassies and legations in great profuslon,
with requests that they be laid before the
car Immediately. Forwarding petitions TO
Russia is a comparatively easy matter, but
laying them before the car is quite another
thing, and it is extremely dou btful If his
imperial majesty will ever see a single one
Of the numerous appeals to his clemency
in behalf of the Siberian exiles, though he
will doubtless be informed as 10 their num-
Der, volume and character. The govern
ment officials still, stoutly aver that the re-
ports of cruelties TO prisoners in Siberia
are wholly false, and il anything is done 10
mitigate the unhappy conditions OF those
unfortunates it is safe TO say that 1t will be
done so quietly that nothing will ever be
definitely known as TO the character aud
extent of the notifications.

THE FATAL QUICKSAND.
Terrible Death of James Parsen

WooDsIDE, Lone ISLAND, May 20-Jas.
S. Parsels met terrible death Saturday
evening in this village. In order to secure
a greater force OF water from a well Par
sells decided TO add q section OF pipe to that
through which the water was drawn from
the ground. About four O'CLOCK Saturday
afternoon he began TO dig hole two feet
in diameter around the well pipe He had
dug down about Is feet and Was near the
end OF the pipe when he felt himself sinking
and at once shouted TO his son, who was
above, to throw a rope TO him. He had
struck quicksand, and before a rope could
be thrown TO him he was up to his waist in
the sand His son quickly summoned help
and In a few moments half the male popu-
lation of the village was on the SPOT. A
rope was finally thrown down 10 the sink
ing man, who placed ii around his waist,
but all the efforts Of those above to pull him
out were unavailing, aud he gradually sunk
until his head only could be seem Dr.
Wood obtained "A long rubber pipe, one end
of which he managed to insert in Parsells'
mouth, through which air was pumped to
TO keep him alive while dozen men were
digging around him, but after nearly five
hours.of suffering the unfortunate man died
from exhaustion. 1t was 1880 before his
body was lifted out of the well. Some OF
the men who were digging came near sink
ing into the quicksand and meeting a SINH
lar fate. Parsells, who was about 80 years
of age, leaves widow and large family.

The Grand RnDids Fire.

GRAND RAPIDS, May 1.-THE Oriel furn-
iture factory was destroyed by fire last
night. The factory was valued at about
$4,000, and carried 100000 insurance.
Over 200 men are thrown out of employ
ment. There were three large buildings
belonging TO the company aud large
amount of lumber destroyed and ten dwell
ings. The Oriel was one of the largest
factories in the city, and later estimates
place the loss at 5000, %. The principal
stockholders were Charles w. Black, Geo.
w. Gay, John A. Covode, l.. +. Sweet,
Mrs. M. A. Covode, Mrs. f. +. Bulkley
and Julius Berkey. II is possible that the
factory will be rebuilt as soon as possible.
The fire is especially bad, from the fact the
company was ust getting in large orders
for fall goods.
The lumber yards in the rear and at the
sides wei Q soon in flames, and then the
fire spread TO the adjoining houses. The
firemen worked like heroes, but were UNI
able to stop the spread until dozen or more
of the homes had been destroyed.

avenue, who, by the way, is brother OF
tho famous Gen. III. w. Halleck, was
down town in the forenoon and stopped on
Main street to talk to a friend. Suddenly,
he says, he was seized with an uncontrolla
bic desire to go-where he knew not-but,
following the dictates of the unseen power
that seemed TO urge him on, he found him
self drawn to the mooring OF his boat on
the river. He cast off and started up
stream with no special object in view.
When at n point in the stream about a half
a mile above the StreeteT bridge he was
startled by screams of distress, and a mo-
meDt later he discovered three boys, rang
ing in nge from seven TO IL years, FOUNDER
ing in the water, the two older ones hang
ing TO a floating stump, and the younger
boy keeping his head above water-which
was fully IL feet deeply clinging to three
oars which belonged TO the boat in which
the boys had been rowing and which had
capsized. Mr.. Halleck succeeded in saving
them all.
