TO DEAD ANARCHISTS.

A Granite Shaft Placed Over the Graves of
Parsons, Spies, Fischer, Lingg and Engel.
CHICAGO, June 26.-The unwilling of
the granite monument to the memory
of the five anarchists, August Spies,
Albert Parsons, Adolph Fisher. Louis
Lineg and George Engel, which took
place Sunday afternoon at Waldheim
cemetery, was an impressive ceremony.
More than $500 persons assembled at
the burial ground to stamp once more
with their approval the sentiment and
actions of the men whom the state of
Illinois found guilty of treason and
put to death. The crowd was orderly
and the few policemen under whose
protection the ceremonies took place
had little to do.
Scarcely an American was to be seen
and the exercises were carried on main
~ in foreign tongues. The character
of the speeches could not be called in
cendiary, but rather that of mild pro-
test against the existing order of gov
eminent. The ringing oratory of the
days when the red flag waved where it
pleased was gone, and all the enthusi-
assn the orators could bring from their
auditors was an occasional outburst of
applause not very certain in it's sound.
A marked feature of the oratory, how
ever, and one which was most literally
applauded, was a showing of strong
animosity toward Judges Geary and
Grinnell and other officials of the law
who had been prominent in the cele-
brated trial.
The exercises at the grave were pre-
coded by short parade in the city. The
entire ceremony was under the auspices
of Matthias Schmedinger, president of
the Pioneer and Support association,
which has made the monument a DOS.
sibility and which, ever since the cele-
brated execution in the yard of Cook
county Jail, has supported the widows
and children of the five anarchists.
At the cemetery addresses were ma lie
by NJ. Schmedinger, Sculptor Weinest,
William Holmes and Ernest Schmidt.
The red hood which enveloped the
monument was drawn aside by young
Albert Parsons, who was directed by
his mother, the widow of Albert Par
sons

electrocution. After receiving tho
shock he fell backward from his perch
