virden. Ills. Oct Ia new quiver OF
excitement swept over this town hourly
throughout the afternoon and from ?
o'clock till nightfan rumor followed ru-
NOR. and not even the best-informed
had any definite idea as to what would
develop during the night. The first
rumor started was that another train
load Of negroes would be taken through
here from Springfield during the after
noon. The station platform and the
half mile of railroad between the sta
ton and stOckade was cleared of citi-
zens and thereafter kept cleared by the
soldiers. AT y. m. a special train
pulled in from the south and the usual
excitement ensued. The train came on
to the station. received orders and
backed north and to the stockade where
the six wounded men from within were
taken aboard. and the train proceeded
southwark. Word was received at $3.50
train load of negroes. heavily guarded,
had left Springfield en- route south.
Evidence Before the Coroner.
The afternoon session of the coroner's
Jury lasted several hours. taking the
testimony Of the wounded guards, elev-
en- in number. The statements of the
wounded men who were on the train
with the negroes developed nothing diff
ferent from what was stated by other
witnesses yesterday before the jury
the majority claiming that the firing
was commenced by the strikers. In
some OF the statements it was acknowI-
edged that when the guards on the train
learned that the miners were firing on
them they returned the fire. They
claimed that they had strict orders from
Captain Schumacher under no circum-
stances to fire shot except in defense
OF their lives.
Capt SIN uuacker's Instructions
Captain Schumacher said to the men
before reaching Virden that the prob
abilities were that there would be a
number of shots Gred by the strikers in
the air to frighten the negroes. but un-
der no circumstances to return the fire
unless they knew positively that the
shots were being directed at the train.

any shots fired by the guards on the

until they saw their comrades dropping
on all sides OF them. One of the wit
nesses when being cross-examined by
the miners attorney as to where he had
used his rifle declined to answer the ques-
ton. The attorney told him that was
his privilege, and then presented the
question to him in another form by
asking. IF you did shoot could you
state how often?" The witness still
declined to answer the question. None
of them would acknowledge that they
themselves individually fired.

Alexandria, Egypt, Oct. 15.-The Alex
andria police have arrested nine italian
anarchists since Thursday night, and
have thereby frustrated a plot against
Emperor william, now on his way to
the Holy Land, to be present at the
conservation of the Church of the Savior
at Jerusalem
The first to be arrested is cafe keep
er, a well-known anarchist, in whose
house the police discovered two wire
wound bombs of great strength, full of
bullets This arrest was made in con-
sequence OF notification from the Ital-
ian consul general at Cairo that two
anarchists had left Cairo for Port Said
The police investigation showed that the
arrested cafe keeper had bribed the
steward OF a steamer sailing yesterday
from Alexandria to Port Said and Sy-
ria to take on board a box of bombs.
Apparently the anarchists originally
intended to use the bombs at the Palais
Abidin- at Cairo. while Emperor Will
lam and the khedive were there When
the kaiser decided not 10 visit Egypt
the anarchists changed their plans and
decided TO attack him in Palestine The
liveliest satisfaction is felt over the
srsart captures. and the German con-
sulate has expressed its warmest
thanks. The two Cairo anarchists who
left for Port Said have not yet been ar
