The lecturer with the stereopticon had a
couple Of heavy metal retorts for holding
the gas for the machine, and in one of the

to the railroad station.
They're right heavy" remarked the man
as he got them into his wagon.
"Yes," coincided the lecturer.

Tsi having died through negligence on the
part of the master of the horse, the emper-

Listen, you scoundrel," !" said tho minis

Lastly. It is your fault that he was about

by killing man for horse"

ANARCHISTS PARDoNED.
Governor AltseId Givos Liberty to Fieldcn
soltwab and Noebo,

SPRINGFIELD, Ills., June 27.--Anarchists
Fielden, Neebe and Schwab were pardoned
by Governor Altgeld yesterday. Banker
T.. s. Dreyer, who had been interested in
their case from the start. came down from
Chicago. and after securing pardon for
each Of them from the hands of Governor
Altgeld, left with them for Joliet at noon.
1t is supposed Mr.. Dreyer's influence was
decisive. IL was not even known that their
case was being considered by the governor,
and his action created great surprise.
Governor Altgeld gives to the press a
lengthy statement regarding his action in
the matter. The statement says the facts
tend to show that the bomb was thrown
as an act Of personal revenge, and that the
prosecution never discovered who threw 1t.
Speaking OF Judge Gary, he says: '.It is
charged with much bitterness by those
r who speak for the prisoners that the record
OF the case shows that the judge conducted
the trial with malicious ferocity, and
forced the men to be tried together; that
page after page of the record contains in
sinuating remarks of the judge, made in
the hearing of the jury and with the evil
dent intention OF bringing the jury to his
way OF thinking; that these speeches, COM
ing from the court, were much more dam
aging than any speeches from the states
attorney could possibly have been; that
the states attorney often took his cue
from the judges remarks, and that the
judges magazine article recently pub
lished. written nearly six years after the
trial. is yet full of venom.
CHICAGO, June 27.-The anarchists ar
rived here last night on the Sante Fe road.
The three men and Mr.. Dreyer left the
train at Twenty-third street to avoid a
demonstration, and went quietly to their
homes. On the way up from Joliet the
three promised Mr.. Dreyer to escbew
anarchy forever. Generally speaking the
pardon of the three men meets with the
favor of the city officials who cared to ex-
press an opinion.
The anarchist riot at the Haymarket in
Chicago occurred on May 4, 1885. Eight
men were arraigned in the August follow
ing for the murderous outbreak, and
seven, Spies, Schwab, Fischer, Flelden,
Parsons. Engel and Lingg were found
guilty of murder in the first degree. Neebe
was sentenced to Imprisonment for fifteen
years. A request for pardon was made by
Fielden and Schwab. which the supreme
court granted. The others were hanged
Nov. II, 1887, except Lingg, who commit
ted suicide. The pardon of Fielden,
Schwab and Neebe ends one of the ugliest
chapters in the history of Chicago.
