ANARoMIsrs SURPRISED.
Two Meetings in Chicago Pounccd
Upon by the Police.

Upon by the Police.
CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-A hundred police
men, under the leadership of Inspector
Lyman Lewis, marched down upon an
anarchist meeting in Griefs hall last
night. The moment the first squad of
police, headed by Lieutenant Wheeler,
burst in upon the anarchists man
named Daniel Sutter, who claims to hail
from Buffalo, N. Y, reached for a re-
Volver in his hip pocket, but before he
could use it officers overpowered and
disarlbed him.
Sutter made desperate resistance,
kicking and butting the officers until
the ironR were put on his wrists, and he
wfs hustled off to the Desplaines street
station, fighting like madman all the
way. The twenty-five or thirty men
who Were sitting in the room tried to
force their way out, but We're prevented
by the police. Every man in the saloon
was then searched for weapons.
While this was going on another squad
of police dashed mp the narrow stairway
into the halls above. THE police are
coming: lock the door," shouted man
in the meeting on the second floor. The
door was quickly barred, and the twenty
five men who We're assembled in this
dingy little hall making infammatory
speeches waited for the attack.
Only one man here made any resist
mce. His name was Henry Miller. "D-n
the policeh heshouted. "They are cow
ards or else they wouldn't draw their re-
volyers upon inotfensive men. Two off
GERS graBped Miller and searched him. He
had big revolver and fought desper-
ately before it could be taken away
from him. Several copies of the speech
delivered by Parsons ON the night of the
bomb throwing in Haylnarket square
were found in the hall.
After the building had been thor
oughly searched about thirty of the
most rabid anarchists We're taken to the
station. Some Of them Were booked for
carrying concealed weapons and others
for making iniiammatory speeches cal

the millionaire brewer. caused the ar
rest of Nicholas Eichlcr, recently ar
rived from Germany, on charge of
persistently annoying him with the
claim that he WAS the brewers son. The

married his mother in Germany forty
years ago, and after living with her for
few years abandoned her. At the
hearing yesterday Mrs. Eichler testified
in her sons behalf, but before the con-
clusion of her testimony she swooned.
After being revived she raYed Ikea mad
woman, and it took the combined ef-
forts of four men to hold her The hear
ing was postponed. Young Eichler says
he wants no assistance, but demands
provision for his mother.

Another crew OF Dtfe savers Given
Up for Lost.
LONDON, Nov. 18.-Echoes of the great
storm are still heard. Dispatches con-
tinue to be received giving details of the
havoc wrought along the coast. There
is great excitement in Southport, at the
mouth of the Ribble, on the Irish sea,
over the fate of a crew of hfeboatmen
who went out to attempt to save the
crew of vessel which was in distress
off that place. The lifeboat was fully
manned, and the crew pulled pluckily
off shore and were soon hidden by the
tremendous seas. The crowd on shore
waited and waited for the return of the
crew, but they did not come back. No
intelligence Of them has been received,
and they have been given up as lost.

But not all the men who sailed in her

on board were helpless to save their

was assaulted in an Atlanta barber shop
yesterday by Tom Miner, a saloon pro-

object of some very harsh criticisms by
Small. Meeting Small in the barber
shop Miner said, do you know who /
am, sir?" Small replied that he did not.
With the statement that he was Tom
Miner he assaulted the evangelist, broke
his eye glasses and knocked out one of
his front teeth. Bystanders then inter-
fered, and Miner was hurried away.

DON rIArT DEAD.
The Eminent Journalist Succumbs
to an Attack of La Grippe.

CLEVELAND, Nov. 3.-Word was re-
ceived here last night announcing the
death of Don Piatt at his home, Mac
o'-Chee yesterday afternoon. Colonel
Piatt had been suffering for several
weeks with a complication of diseases
induced by la grippe, but it was thought
his illness was not not at all dangerous
until within the last few days.
Colonel Piatt has resided quietly at his
home in Logan county ever since his re-
tiiement from active journalistic work.
In 1888 he was called from this retire.
ment at the urgent request of Mr.. Cleve-
land to found Belford's Free Trade
Monthly magazine in New York. Here
mained at that work about year, when
he returned to his home, and at the time
of his death was engaged upon an elab-
crate biographical history Of General
George Thompson.
Colonel Piatt was born June 90, 1919,
in Cincinnati, and was educated at st.
Xavier college, and in 1851 was appointed
judge of the court of common pleas Of
Hamilton county. At the end of his
term he was appointed secretary of the
legation under President Pierce at Paris.
During part of the civil war he was on
the staff of General Robert c. Schneck.
Since then he has devoted himself to
farming and literary work.
