THE RED FLAG

was All the Anarchists Had Unti Forced
to Run Up the stars aud stripes.
CHICAGO, Nov. 12. Over thousand
anarchists, or anarchist sympathizers,
last night crowded into the West
Twelfth-street Turner hall to COM
memorate the day, November IL, 1887,
on which their fellow anarchists were
hung.
During the incendiary utterances of
Henry Weisswan, editor of the New
York Baker, German trades paper,
Inspector of Police Hubbard, accom-
panied by Lieut. Gibbons and a squad
of officers in citizens clothing, entered
the hall They ordered an American
flag placed among the flaming crimson
banners, which were conspicuous every
where.
Instantly there was q profound SEN
sation in the audience, and the police
were hissed from all parts of the hall
Mrs. Lucy Parsons, who occupied a
chair against the rear wall, shrielked
out, Hang the murderers of my hus-
bandr' In a second pandemonium
reigned, hundreds of excited men
pushing forward cursing the officers,
and seemingly only wanting a nod
or look from q leader to precipitate a
fearful spectacle of carnage. Never
theless, Inspector Hubbard unflinch-
ingly ordered a suspension of the meet
ing until his commands were obeyed.
Through the din the half hundred po.
lice could be seen placing their hands
on their clubs and revolvers prepara-
tory to fight, which seemed inevitable,
1t was ten minutes before order was re-
stored The flag, meanwhile, had been
reluctantly hoisted to place over the
stage, proceeding only accomplished
when the officers were found ready for
action, and cooler heads among the ex-
cited audience and spectators had time
to exercise some influence. The meet
ing had been taken completely by sur
prise else more tragic result might
have followed
The leaders of the meeting say the
gathering was only to show regurd and
reverence for the men who perished
while labUrfng for the benefit of hu-
maRlty. Another meeting was an
nounced for tonight at the old-time
ansrShist rendezvous Griefrs hall, on
Lake street.

has struck the greatest gas well ever
found in West Virginia, near that place.
The roar of the gas can be heard for
seven miles, and families living near

their homes for fear of disaster. The
earth in the vicinity trembles as though
there were continual light shocks OF
an earthquake prevailing. The owners
claim that the gas will pay them great

expert estimates the pressure at about
500 pounds to the square inch.

MILLIONS

OF the Economic Society Are Safe-No
Chance For Any Schemer to Get Hold OF
Their Money, Says Trustee Duss.
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 6-Concerning
the recent stories published throughout
the country that DIR. Cyrus Feed, of Cal.
ifornia, had succeeded in getting hold of
the finances of the Society of Econo.
mites, Trustee John Duss has published
a statement detailing how DIR. Feed hap
pened to visit the society and the re-
suits of the same. Mr.. Duss says
DIR. Feed did not get their money and
was not after it. He sought and won
moral support, and intends to send re.
cruits to join them. AS to the finances,
they are in safe hands, and there is no
danger of any person becoming mem
Der and causing any change in the sys-
TEN. The affairs are entirely in the
hands of the board of elders and no
one person could get control of the
society's millions.

DOUBLE MURDER.
A Salvation Army Convert Shoots
a Captain,
And Then kills Herself-A Woman In Lovo
with n Woman.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 16. The muster
Of the Northwestern division of the
salvation army, at Omaha, to meet La
Marechale -Clibborn, of France,
has terminated in tragedy, sad, sud-
den and inexplicable. While yet the
bell Of the army's headquarters in
Omaha tolled curfew-like the requiem
for dead Sunday, and the soldiers
were fling slowly out of the barracks,
the sound of a pistol shot rang out above
the notes of the bell, and with a
groan one of the army's captains fell
to the pavement, blood gushing from
her mouth and nostrils. Her body had
not yet lodged on the sidewalk when
a second report from the pistol was
heard, and a private reeled from tho
ranks; and staggering blindly step or
two, fell dead in the gutter, her soul
winging away amid the cloud of smoke
from her own listoL
1t was just after G o'clock in the
evening, and the army's forces had
gathered at the barracks for the pur-
pose of making its usual parade prior
to services. The presence in Omaha of
the official heads of the army in France
and America, La Marechale Booth Glib
born and her brother, Commissioner
Ballington Booth, had drawn hither all
tho forces of this division, which in
cludes Iowa, Minnesota, the Dakotas
and Nebraska. For four days the army
has held daily and nightly demonstra-
tions, and the work was seemingly
meeting with great success.
The real motive for the fearful double
crime is not so clear as it might be, but
the indications point to a rather queer
combination of jealousy and semi-re-
ligious frenzy However obscure may
be the motive that prompted the deed,
its results stand out only too plainly,
for the body of Nettie Biedler, the mur-
deress and suicide, rests on a marble
slab at the city morgue, and her victim,
Captain Hattie Smith, of the Salvation
band at Oskaloosa, Ia, is awaiting in
untold agony the final extinguishment
of the vital spark at her temporary
boarding place on Davenport street.
A reporter called last evening at the
residence of w. w. Biedler, the father
of the dead girl, at "a North Main
street, Council Bluffs. A younger Sis
ter stated that Nettie and Capt. Smith
had been fast friends and that her sis
ter was in love with the captain for a
long time, and has been in the habit of
attending the Salvation Army meetings
for the purpose of meeting the captain
and the other girls. She left Saturday
afternoon, directly after dinner, stating
that she was going to Omaha to see the
Salvation army celebration, and il was
supposed she went alone. She had no
revolver, so far as her sister knew, nor
had any troble arisen between the two
girls, which might account for the fear
full deed. Until the sister heard of the
tragedy she supposed they were as good
friends as ever.
