CHICAGO, Nov. I3.-This afternoon the
examination of the defendants began and
only four of them we're gotten through
with before adjournment. The line OF
defense is to prove that the meeting last
night had no connection with any anar-
chistic movement whatever, being merely
a regular business meeting of the Socialist
Publication This evening q
bill was filed in the circuit court by Thos.
Greif to restrain the mayor or police from
entering upon bis premises or interfering
with any meetings held in his hall. The
case will come up tomorrow.
Both Mayor Washburne and Chief Nc
Claugbry advance the belief that the OBJ
ject of the meeting last night was not to
commit any direct acts of violence but to
keep up anarchistic agitation to convince
foreigners that Chicago will not be a safe
place to come to in the Worlds fair year.
Mayor Washburne said these incendiary
u~tterances must be stopped for
they are likely 20 do Chi
cago ncalculable injury, Civ
sibly keeping millions of capital away be-
sides seriously damaging the worlds fair.
The MAYOR said his policy will be to sup
press with a firm hand all meetings held
to advocate anarchistic principles. An
archists, he said, had made remarks in
their speeches recently which justify the
conclusions he had drawn.
They all hate Chicago and cry for re
venge on it because of the execution of
their leaders here four years ago.

a Horrible Find.


COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. l3.-Five lives
were lost this morning in a fire which
destroyed a row of cheap frame buildings
on North High street, the entire family
of Charles Retheard being burned. A
strange feature of the affair is that when
the fire was ~extinguished this morning the
firemen did not suspect that any lives
were lost, and not until late in the
day when the family was missed by
a friend was a search made.
The fremen then returned to the house
and on entering the upper room met a
horrible sight. the father was on tie
floor, with his six year old girl in his
arms. both bodies being burned to a
crisp. The wife was partly on the bed
and partly on the floor. Her body was
nude, all clothing having been burned off
and the flesh burned from the back OF
her skull.
The unfortunate woman would soon
have become a mother OF another child.
A girl of four and boy of two years, were
lying, fare downward. on the bed, where
they had met death. their bodies being
horribly burned.

VIII Fight for Bread.

LONDON, Nov. l3.-There is some sur
prise expressed in this CITY Upon the re-
ceipt of a dispatch today announcing that
extraordinary activity is being displayed
by the Russian government in connection
with internal disturbances in the empire.
1t was thought at first the governments
action was due to troubles arising IRON
the scarcity of food In many districts OF
Russia, as for some days past dispatches
ave been received depicting the terrible
sufferings of the starving peasants. Many
acts of lawlessness nave been committed
by men rendered desperate by the pangs
of hunger, and the statement was made
that the marshals of the nobility would be
held to a strict accountability for any
political disturbances in their districts was
taken to mean that the starving peasants
and small farmers were assuming a threat
eniDg attitude.
A dispatch received this evening. how
ever, puts all speculations to fight. A
short time ago it came to the knowledge
of the police that a conspiracy was under
way. While secretly pursuing investiga-
lions in St. Petersburg. the police found
that consLirators in that city were only
part OF Il very numerous Dduu. mead
quarters of which we're located in Moscow.
Thew learned, also, that the conspirators
had been very active in securing adher-
ents to their plan and the conspiracy had
notifications which spread 10 all the prin-
cipal cities of the empire. The object of
the conspiracy, unlike the majority
of plots discovered in Russia, was
not to kill the Gar, but was
an organization of a movement hav-
ing for its end thcreaction of a represent
alive assembly-an object which has been
a dream of many years. Sixty members
of the nobility and of the upper and mid
die classes are charged with completely
and have been arrested. The students Of
all the universities are under strict sur-
veillance. The discovery of the plot and
the arrest Of SO many of the prominent
subjects has caused a decided sensation in

During the days of his prosperity he had
carried over 100000 of insurance, and by
strict economy had managed to keep up
the payments on his policies. A few months
ago he added to his investments in this
line, and when he went out rowing on
Bowery bay with his son the other after
noon his life represented an aggregate risk
to various companies of $3.50, 600. The old
gentleman-he was sixty-eight-handled
the oars for awhile. Then he grew tired
and asked the young man to take them.
The water was rough and in exchanging
seats the father fell overheard. The son
caught him by the collar, but was unable
to haul him into the skif. He held on,
however, until the ferryboat Weehawken
came along. Both were then conveyed to

The w. c. t. U. Convention.

BosToN, Nov. l3.-ln her annual
address Miss Willard paid a glowing
tribute to the individual and collective
work of the members of the w. z. I. U.
Following with an eloquent account of
woman's work in temperance, Miss
Willard said there remained much to be
done, the church itself must have a new
crusade. Its doors of gospel grace must
stand open night and day; it must not be
a huge locked up cube of masonry during
SIX days of the week for such cannot be
the twentieth century exposition of the
church of Him who went about doing
good. We must draw people to the
church by having something there for
them which will lead them up to the
perception and love of spiritual blessings.
That party which Enthusiastically declares
for the prohibition Of strong drink in the
political platforms of '92 is the only one
that can hope for the good will, good
words and the prayers of the w. G. L, u.
"We nailed that banner to the mast in
'S4 and, sink or swim. live or die. survive
or perish. We will keep it waving" Miss
Willard dwelt at length upon scientific

scented. At this convention fifty one states
and territories were represented. At the
time of the second convention there were
4,45S members in the Union. This year the
membership is 1873. 402, a gain over last
year OF 10, 1863. The introduction OF the
delegates to the worlds convention and
various other reports completed the after

On a Firm Footing.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 13.-Cashier
Mcdonald of the Pacific bank, speaking
of the MADEIRA bank matter and John
Browns colony in Fresno county. said
the MADEIRA bank had been r~eorgauized
and is now distinct from any connection
with the colony. 1t is on a safe financial
footing now owing to the prompt action
taken by the Pacific bank, and its connec-
ton with the colony having ceased, no
further complications need ensue. The
colony lands are valuable and have been
well improved and the Pacific bank does
not intend that the settlers shall suffer
any loss.

Thanksrrylng Proclamation,

WASHINGTON, Nov. l3-The following
was issued this afternoon: By the presi-
dent of the United States. A proclama-
ton. II is a very glad incident OF the
marvellous prosperity which has crowned
the year nov drawing to n close that its
helpful and r%eassuring touch has been
felt bv all our people. 1t has been as
wide as our country and so special that
,overy home has felt its comforting
influence.
1t is too great to be the work of mans
power and too particular to be devised of
his mind. To God. the beneficent and
~all-sise, who makes the labors of men
to be fruitful, redeems their losses by His
grace aud a measure Of whose giving is as
much beyond the thoughts of men as it Is
beyond his deserts. the praise ana
gratitude of the people of this favored
nation are justly due.
Now. therefore. |, Benjamin Harrison,
president of the United States OF Amer
ica, do hereby appoint Thursday, the
18th Of November, to be a day of joyful
thanksgiving to God tor the bounties of
His providence, for the peace in which We
are permitted to enjoy them, and for the
preservation OF those institutions OF civil
and religious liberty which He gave our
fathers wisdom to devise and establish,
and US courage to preserve.
Among the appropriate observances of
the day are rest from toll, worship in
public congregations, renewal OF family
ties about our American fresides, and
thoughtful helpfulness towards those who
suffer a lack Of body or of spirit. In
testimony whereof. | have here unto set
my hand and caused the seal OF the
United States to be affixed. Done at
the city of Washington this thirteenth
day of November, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
ninety-one, and of the independence Of
the United States the one hundred and
sixteenth.

Some time z the city council passed an
ordinance reducing the price OF gas from
81 to 81 cents per thousand feet. The
gas company went into the court and
asked relief, asserting the proposed re-
duction meant a virtual confscation of
their property. Judge Jackson today
granted the injunction, holding the city
had no right to fix the price of an article
OF which it was consumer; that Its action
would impair the validity of the contract
made with the gas
