ANARCHISTS PARDoNED.
Gov. AltReld Frees the HaymariEet
Rioters From Prison.


Springfield, ILL.,, June 26.--Gov. Altgeld
has pardoned the Chicago Haymarket
tragedy anarchists, HIlden, Schwab and
Neebe No previous intimation was given
OF his intended action.
Banker H. S. preyer, who has been
interested in their case from
the first, came down from Chicago
this morning, and after securing par
don for each one Of them from the hands
of Gov, Altgeld, left with them for Joliet
at noon. 1t is supposed Mr., Dreyer's in
fiuence was decisive. IL was not
even known that u the case was
being considered by the governor, and
his action created great surprise, The
governor has prepared statement for
publication concerning these par
and words. The governor reviews
the history of the Haymarket meeting Of
May 3, 1886, in detail, and says the basis
Of the appeal for pardon was petition
signed by several thousand merchants,
bankers and other prominent citizens of
Chicago, which assuming the prisoners to
be guilty, stated belief that the pris-
oners have been punished enough, but a
number of them who have examined the
case more carefully base their appel
on entirely different grounds and assert
l. Thct the jury which tried the case
was packed jury, selected to convict.
g. That according to the law as leid
down by the supreme court both prior TO
and again since the trial of this case, the
Jurors according to their own answers
were not competent jurors and the trial
was therefore not legal trial.
That the defendants were not proven
to be guilty of the crime charged in the
indictment.
L. That as TO defendant Neebe, the
states attorney had declared at the close
of the evidence that there was no case
againsth him, and yet he had been kept in
prison all these years.
5. That the trial judge was either so
prejudice against the defendants, or else
so determined to win the applause Of a
certain class in the community that he
could not and did not grant fair trial.
The governors statement sustains five
specified counts in the appeal referred to,
and says that the facts tend to show that
the bomb was thrown as an act of
personal revenge, and that the prosecu-
ton never knew who threw IL.
The governor quotes from the petition
charges against Judge Gary of ferocity
and subserviency worse than Jeffries In
England, and says that these charges
seem to be sustained by the record OF the
trial. He says the papers before him
show that the trial was not fair.
The pardons are full and absolute. Jo-
liet, Springfield and Chicago are full Of

THE SEA AS SMOOTH AS GLASS.
London, June 26.-The Associated Press
correspondent sends from Beyroot an ac-
count OF the sinking Of the war ship Vic
toria by the war ship Camperdown. The
weather was sunny. There was no
breeze. The sea was as smooth as glass
The vessels had been drawn Ia double
line. Abreast they were about
six cable lengths apart. The bow
of each vessel was two cable
lengths from the stern Of the vessel ahead,
AT about 3 o'clock the feet was thus APP
preaching Tripoi. Admiral Tryon sig
nailed an order for single line. At the
time the order was given the Victoria and
Camperdown were about exactly abreast,
Both turned slowly with a sweeping
movement and their bows converged.
The Camperdown pushed heavy upon her
and rammed her on the starboaad side
near the bow. She tore with tremendous
force into the Victoria's hull and drove
her ram with crash right through TO
the Victoria's middle,
BEGINNING TO SETTLE.
1t was just $3.50 O'Clock when with a
great rip in her hull the Victoria began
10 founder, Admiral Tyron tried at first to
run her ashore, but the distance, nearly
five miles, was too great The great yes
sci turned over broadside, and eight min
utes after she was struck down. Disci-
pline was maintained in the few min
utes between the collision
and the catastrophe. The
invalids were brought on deck and pro
vision made for their safety in case of the
worst, The crew remained at their posts.
When five minutes were up Admiral Try
on apparently realized that his vessel was
doomed beyond all hope of success. He
then gave the order LET every man
from their posts TO the vessels side
and jumped into tho sea. Others
were hurrYing from below TO follow them
when the end came
WENT WITH A PLUNGE.
The bow disappeared gradually at first,
and then rapidly plunged, so that the hull
stood almost perpendicular in the water,
paused motionless for moment and final
ly rolled completely over. Two tremend-
Gus explosions were heard, and then the
Victoria settled under Admiral Tryon did
not leave the ship, He was the
last man seen as she first plunged her bow
under water He stood on the bridge
as long as it was possible 10 stand any
where above the deck. His body has not
been found.
Two hundred and ninety Of the officers
aud crew were saved, Many were severely
injured by the conclusion Of the two YES

The Camperdowu has a sixteen-foot
hole in her bow EShe made great deal
of water and was only kept aaoat by the
closing of her water-tight compartments
and by pumping.

while the Camperdown is making tempo

reach Malta. The Victoria lies in 76

SUICIDE AT wAxoRoss.
A Band Master Kills Himself Rather
Than go to the Chain Gang.

Waycross, Ga, Juno a6.-Jack Booth
died here this morning about $3.50 o'clock
from the effects Of dose of morphine
taken last night between and 10
o'clock. From the statements of those
who were with him yesterday it is evil
dent that it was his intention TO put an
end to his troubles He was born in
Tatnan county thirty-three years
ago AID most of his life
was spent In Savannah BlaclSshear
and Waycross. He travelled all over
Georgia and Alabama teaching band
music. While teaching a band in Hunts
vile, Ala, about four years ago, he got
into difficulty. While playing billiards
he was struck on the head with a billiard
ball. This affected his mind and he was
never considered bright since Saturday
he was arraigned before the mayor for
disorderly conduct and was fined S35 and
costs. The fine was a just one, but
Booth thought otherwise. He could not
pay it and doubtless he saw the chain
gang staring him in the face and it was
more than he could stand. Late yester-
day afternoon he was sitting on the
piazza. Two little boys were playing
around him. One of them asked the
other "How is Becky Douglass9" the
other boy said, ASK Jack Booth" This
seemed to make him mad and he grabbed
u CHdlT anu SJfuck db bnen several times.
He then went to Mrs. Caps house and
asked about his wife. They told him
she was dead He said mo, she is not.
l have Just been talking with her" He
then slipped into the room, where he
found the bottle of morphine which he
used in ending his life After obtaining
the morphine he returned to the house OF
Mr. Jones, his brother-in-law, and at once
took large dose of the drug As soon as
it was discovered that he had taken poison
DIR. G. p. Folks was summoned He ad-
ministered soda and strong coffee. This
seemed to help Booth, and he walked to
the gate with the physician. Shortly af-
terward he found the morphine again and
swallowed a large quantity About II
o'clock last night he fell asleep and it
was not until sunrise this morning that
his condition was discovered. Drs.
Folks, Reddiug and Rippard were imme-
diately sent for. They resorted to all
the remedies used in such cases, but the
poison had got into, his circulation to
such an extent that death was inevitable
This was the sad end of life that might
have been useful had it not been for
whisky
