The Walls of the fremont House al Fort
Scott, KAN Collapse.
FoRT SCoTT, Kan, June 25-With a
crash and roar that was felt and heard
for blocks the east wall Of the fremont
house in this city fell out at $3.50
o'clock Monday morning, letting
the three upper floors lapse. Not
a single person was killed and
the escape of the hundred occupants OF
the hotel with their lives is little short
of miracle Essie Caldwell and Ida
Morgan, chambermaids, were the only
persons injured. They fell from the
third floor and were badly bruised but
not seriously hurt The building was
a four-story structure with mansard
roof the upper story and roof having
only been recently added, 1t is
supposed that the walls were not strong
enough TO stand this additional weight,
and hence the collapse The west wall
remains standing, but in momentary
danger Of falling Many of those 10
the building were rescued by means Of
ladders from the second-story window
on this side.

time for the train to arrive which was
to bear the three liberated anarchists
back to Chicago AS they came ont
into the balmy air of per-
feet June evening one who had
known them in former days would
scarcely have recognized any one of
them. Prison life had left its mark on
each. Mr.. Dreyer walked down to the
station with the ex-prisoners, and in
few minutes Santa Fe train came
along and all boarded the smoking car

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CASH.
The case is one Of the most remar
able in the history of the government and
has attracted the attention of the civ
ilized world. On the night of Nav 4,
1886, a meeting was held in hall in
Haymarket square, Chicago, to protest
regarding the killing of two laboring
men in trouble which had taken
place in an effort to introduce a rule
for an eight-hour day for the laboring
classes. The meeting was attended by
about 1000 persons, good order being
maintained until just as the last were
leaving the hall when detachment of
police were called in to quell disturb
ance. As they approached the ha II
an unknown person threw a bomb
into the crowd which killed several
policemen and wounded many persons.
A number of people were arrested and
August Spies Albert Parsons. Louis
Lingg, Michael Schwab, Samuel
Fielden, George Engle. Samuel Fischer
ana Oscar Neebe were indicted Popu.
lar excitement was intense, the press.
pulpit and public clamor demanded con /
viction, and after long aud bitterly |
contested trial the defendants were
found guilty. Neebe received a fifteen /
years sentence and the rest Uere 10 be /
hanged. The case went 10 the So. /
preme court and was affirmed. Final /
~ the sentence of Schwab and Fielden
were committed to life sentences. Lingg
blew the top Of his head off with a I
bomb in his cell and Parsons, Fischer,
Engle and Spies were hanged. 1t was
alleged at the time that conviction was
due to public clamor, rather than tc
tie evidence. and ever since there has
been strong element at work for the
pardon Of the condemned.

Tertiary at Joliet at O'Clock
Monday evening and once more

We're Oscar Necbe, Samuel Fielder
and Michael Schwab. the anarchists
who had been convicted of complicit
in the Haymarllet riot May I, 1886
when seven policemen were killed by
the explosion Of a dynamite bomb.
They owed thea liberty to Gov. Alt
geld's pardon.
REA SONS P0R THE PARDON.
Gov Altgeld's pardon is based on the
grounds of packed jury; that the jury.
men, according to their own answers
were not competent; that the prisoners
were not proven to be guilty of the
crime charged in the Indictment; that
the trial judge was prejudiced against
the prisoners or determined to win the
applause of a certain class.
THEY HEAR THE NEWS.
E. S. Dreyer, the real-estate man and
banker, who has Interested him
self in behalf of the men, arrived at the
prison from Springfield at 9:15 o'clock
In the afternoon with the pardons
in his pocket, and also a copy
of the governors statement of his
reasons for granting them. Mr.. Dreyer
was shown into the Office of Warden
Allen and presented his documents
The warden examined them, found
them correct, and at once sent for the
three convicts, who were convicts no
longer
Neebe, Schwab and Fielden entered
the warden's office dressed in their
prison stripes. They were stood up in
line and in the presence of Warden Al
len, Chaplain Roth, Clerk Miller and
Storekeeper Allen Mr.. Dreyer informed
them that Gov Altgeld had signed a
pardon for each of them on GER
tain conditions. Tears stood in the
eyes Of the men TO whom this unex-
pected news of freedom came. Their
emotion was apparent, though they
made strong efforts to conceal it.
THE CONDITIONS.
Mr. Dreyer made a short speech, in
which he said executive clemencv was
extended to them on condition that
they promised 10 be hereafter honest. up
right citizens, to go to work and earn
a living, and forevermore to refrain
from associating with men who
preached the doctrines which had
brought them within the prison walls,
and to refrain themselves from again
anarchistic theories. He
told them how they had been despised
by the whole civilized world. and hoped
that in view Of the mercy that was
shown them they would never give Gov.
Altgeld nor himself cause to regret the
action which set them free.
FAGEkLY ACCEPTED
All three of the men unhesitatinglv
made the promise required OF them.
The warden then presented each with
his pardon which was the usual form
in such cases, with the governors sig
