and once more holds out encouragement to
lawlessness, revolution and anarchy. The
rank and file of the American people of tn s
city, who believe in law and order, will not
receive the Governors demagogical action
very favorably. 1t meets with sharp criti-
cism and denunciation even from his own
party. 1t was not even known here that
their case was being considered by the Gov
ernor
Banker E. s. Dreyer, who has been inter
ested in the convicted anarchists from the
start, went down from here this morning,
and after securing pardon for each of them
from the hands of Governor Altgeld, left for
the penitentiary at Joliet. 1t is supposed Mr..
Dreyer's influence was decisive.
The anarchists arrived here at 7:3O on the
Santa Fe Road. Quite crowd had gathered
at the Dearborn Street Station to witness the
arrival.
On the way up from Joliet the three men
promised Mr.. Dreyer to eschew anarchy for
ever.
The Governor has prepared long state
ment, in which he criticises Judge Gray and
Inspector Bonfeld severely. The Governor
reviews the history of the Haymarket meet
ing of May 4, 1856, in detail, and says the
basis of the appeal for pardon was the petition
signed by several thousand merchants, bank
ers, Judges, lawyers and other prominent
citizens of Chicago, which, assuming the
prisoners to be guilty, stated the belief that
the prisoners have been punished enough
Schwab has been looked upon here as one
of the most dangerous men in the horrible
conspiracy that led up to the Haymarket
massacre. Fielden was always considered a
misguided but honest man, and Neebe was
looked upon as one of August Spies mis-
guided TOOLS The extending of clemency to
Schwab cannot be understood. The Cover
nor seems to have acted without conference
with or advice from anybody of influence or
authority.
Frequent appeals were made to all the
preceding Governors for executive clemenoy
to the anarchists, but were met with an
unhearty welcome.

Mcclure. Two women were injured, one of
them quite seriously, and her child also sus-
tanned injuries
The house at which the accident happened
is an old fashioned structure known as 1927
West Coal street. 1t is one of the Browns
vile landmarks 1t faces on the north side
of the street and the porch which fell serves,
in connection with a stairway arising length
wise from the pavement, as means of en-
trance to the second story of the building.
The house is the keystone of fifteen or
twenty frame structures which form habita-
tiOns for colony of Lithuanian and Hum
garian families. As the riches of the owner
increased he built extensions to the original
house until he finally succeeded in acquiring
ownership of unique bunch of buildings
which in general appearance look like a
homemade attempt at the Queen Anne style
of architecture.
Yesterday large number of Lithuanians
gathered at the settlement to attend the
funeral of William Grisconis, the man who
died from the effects of injuries sustained by
an explosion in Packer No. colliery. The
Grisconis family occupied apartments in the
house in front of which the porch stood.
About dozen stout women gathered on the
porch and it presented very dangerous
appearance, so much so that the parties hav-
ing charge of the funeral concluded to not
risk carrying the corpse over it and decided
to have it carried out through the rear door.
This decision had hardly been arrived at
when cracking noise was heard at the front
of the house. The next moment the porch
fell, carrying the dozen women with it to the
ground, distance of twelve feet. Great
excitement prevailed and the shrieks of the
women who struggled in the mass of broken
boards and rails mingled with the startled
cries of the mourners made a scene bordering
on pandemonium.
When the men at the place recovered from
the shock and hurried to the rescue they
found several women in dead faint, but
most of them suffered mostly from fright.
All except one of them were able to walk and
converse with their friends after being re-
moved from the debris Mrs. Petronella
Goodawage was less fortunate. 1t was found
that one of her legs was broken and there
were several severe cuts on her head. Her
eight-year-old daughter which she held in
her arms when she fell was also injured, but
not seriously. 1t had a few bruises ON its
face and body Another woman had to be
assisted from the wreck, but her injuries were
only few bruises that made walking painful
for the time,
William Snyder, Matt, Makarowicz and
Matt. Mickelsawage, three Lithuanians,
managed to rush from beneath the porch lust
in time to escape the fall.
The friends of the women who met with
the accident were very much aroused and one
man told HERALD reporter that suits would
be instituted against the owner of the prom.
erty. He said the porch had been frequently
complained of as unsafe, but the owner al
ways contented himself with a little patching
here and there. The porch was completely
wrecked. 1t is also said that several of the
women who fell were in delicate condition
and more serious results of the accident may
develop.

MADE ROME HOWL.
Big Hail Storm strikes a New
York Town,

York Town.
ROME, n. Y, Aug. 27.-ShOrtlv after
O'Clock this afternoon this city was
visited by violent electric storm. Two
black clouds, hanging low and moving
swiftly east and west, met here. Rain
fell in torrents, accompanied by hail
stones of enormous size. The most of
them were tomato-shaped. and many of
them weighed a quarter of pound
each. In striking the tagging they
popped like pistols. Every unprotected
skylight in the city was broken. Stores
were flooded and goods damaged. Plate
glass half an inch thick WAS broken.
TIN roofs were broken and set leaking.
All the greenhouses in the city were
destroyed and the plants and flow
ers were badly damaged. Fruit trees
were stripped and melons were de-
stroyed. a farm house on the outskirts
OF the city was struck by lightning and
burned. A canal driver in the employ
OF James Nalley, of Oswego, was struck
on the head with a hailsGone, which
cut through the WOOlen hat which he
wore and made bad wound in his
head. The roof of the new Kingsley
memorial chapel, erected at a great cost,
was badly damaged. Several windows
in st. Mary's church were destroyed.
The hail lasted about ten minutes. Two
miles south of here no rain or hail fell.
1t Is not thought that the great hop
growing region was visited. 70 the
north and west the storm had wide
range. and great deal of damage was
done. The storm was the worst that
ever visited this locality.
