HERR MOST UNooRKs HIMSELF.
He Unfurls the Red Flag and Waves
Defiance Over the Graves of the
HaYmarkat Murderera.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 12--Herr
Most was the principal speaker at
the ceremonies at Waldheim ceme-
terry yesterday, commemorative of
the execution Of the Haymarket
anarchists.
Among other things Herr Most
said: ave meet at the foot of this
monument to hold high the banner
in whose shadow those who rest
here fought, and to which they re-
manned true unto death. And In
unfurling the red flag at these
graves we again proclaim to all the
world that gospel Of poverty and
misery which 'Our Five under
stood so we'll and for which they
had to die. We did not meet here
and unnumbered hosts of work.
ingmen Of all countries are with us
here in the spirit-to declare that
we will remain silent with the
murdered men, but to declare that
we feel bound to continue the work
begun by them until it is crowned
with success, until victory is OBJ
tanned"
Most continued at length, review
ing the labor troubles leading up
to the Haymarket massacre, de-
nouncing capitalists, the police and
existing institutions generally. He
condemned the trial Of the anarch-
lists as "a farce never before equall-
ed" and dwelt infinitely on the i'm
prisonment, their last moments
and execution of the men. He
praised Gov. Altgeld for pardoning
those who were sent to prison and
denounced Judge Gary for his part
in the trial. In closing he called
upon those present to emulate
those whose death they were COM
memorating, and said: "Thus we
will contribute our share to atone
for the death of these and all other
martyrs of the proletariat and to
realize their ideals-anarchists and
communism"

DEAD.

Medical Students Despoil tho Gem
eteries of 200 Victims.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 12.-
The frequency with which graves
have been desecrated in this city
and its suburbs within the past
two months, and the apparent i'm
munity which the ghouls enjoy
from detection and arrest, have
caused widespread alarm through
out the city and surrounding coun-
try. So general has this become
that most people deposit the re-
mains of their dead in vaults Of
the undertakers until time insures
by decay protection from these
outrages. The capacity of the
vaults are limited, however, and
the demand has been so great that
many are unable toavail themselves
of these means OF depositing their
dead. In villages in this vicinity
the general fear has led to the en-
ployment of guards. Despite the
vigilance of these the dead have
been stolen away. Graves are
robbed with such regularity at the
Poor asylum that little attention
is paid to the practice. The fact
that twenty-three bodies were on
the dissecting tables OF the Indiana
Medical college at the time that
institution was burned has called
public attention to the alarming
extent to which grave robbing is
practiced in this city and has add
ed to the CONSERVATION of those
who lose relatives by death. There
are possibly 200 medical students
in the three medical colleges every
winter and it is said each of these
is provided with a separate "stiff."
To supply this demand there must
be wholesale grave robbing. Grave
robbing is being carried on year
after year and the places for SELL
ing the bodies are we'll known, but
no one has been successfully pros
ecuted for body snatching.

Maria's Better Half Goes to Pot.

SHANNON, Penn, Nov. 12.-Sever-
al days ago the members Of the
Maennerchor gave 'possum bake
to a number of their friends. They
all pronounced the dish superior
to any they had tasted before.
They might have remained in
ignorance of the facts in the case
had George Jones, a Brooklyn, o.,
citizen, of whom they had purchas-
ed the possum, remained silent. A
neighbor asked Jones what became
of his big house cat. Jones laugh
ingly remarked that a Sharon
delegation had requested him to
hunt them a postum. He was UNI
successful in his hunt, but choked
his ole tom cat, dressed it and sent
it to Sharon. The club members
have Investigated the case and
found Jones statement to be true
and have begun legal proceedings
against the Maltese Vender.

SPAIN PAYS FOR LooTING

mering the Indemnity Of
Sl7,5OO Is Paid.


NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE Rev
DIR. c. G. Creegan, district secretary
Of the American board Of commits
sioners for foreign missions, has
received word from the home office
Of the board IN Boston that the
treasurer has received $l7,500 from
the United States government, be-
ing the indemnity paid by Spain
as compensation for and outrage
committed against American citl-
zens and American property In
POnea, one Of the group OF Micro
nesian Islands in the Southern Pa
cific in 1888. 1t was many years
ago that the American board es-
tablished a mission among the ma
tives Of Ponea, savage race. A
church was built and schools were
put up and maintained for long
time. Threats were made to kill
the American missionaries and
their families and they lived in
fear of their lives. Strife became
so perilous that the Rev. +. Il.
DOane and his associates were
compelled to flee from their homes
in the darkness of the night by
means Of small boats. The hard
ships endured in the flight proved
fatal to Mr.. Doane, and Miss Flet-
cher, one Of his assistants, became
crazy by reason Of her terrible ex-
perience and has since been an in
mate of an insane asylum hospital
in Honolulu. After the departure
of the refugees the school and
churches and all the buildings of
the mission were destroyed by fire.
At first Spain denied any response.
bility in the matter, but was at
last forced to admit it, as the pay
ment of the indemnity shows. No
attempt has been made to reopen
the American mission.

TOO MUCH COAL.
Small Demand for Ignite and Steam
Coal Here.

Suail Oetnduu Aor blshito anu SIodm
Coal Here.
Owing to San Antonio's limited
manufacturing industries and the
large output of fuel to run these
manufactures with the present
Ignite and steam coal, the market is
flooded, as there are not enough
manufactures here to consume the
large coal yield.
The coal therefore accumulates
and finally becomes a drug on the
market. Up to last Thursday
there have been standing on the
local tracks between thir-
ty and forty carloads Of
Ignite and steam coal.
Most OF this coal comes from Rock
dale, where the Rockdale Mining
company and J. ]. Olsen & Sons, Of
this city, are operating mines.
The standard price for this coal
is 81 a ton in carload lots, but last
Thursday a reduction was made,
and since that time it was sold at
SI.75, and even at $1.60. These are
considered ruinous prices for the
dealers, but they will very prObab-
ly all fall in line until settlement
is reached, which is expected in a
day or two.
Now that cold weather is setting
in the demand for this coal will
be still less, as the local ice
factories and breweries will not
consume as much as in SUNNI er,
on account of the winter business,
which is not very heavy for su CHI
institutions.
in order to even up matters
somewhat, the coal companies
have reduced the yield of their
mines. Two shafts have been
closed down at ROckdale until the
former prices are restored, which
will be within a few days.
