offloers will not permit any one to enter
the jail, and are very retioent about tho
matter. ,
How Lines secured tho cap found in his
cell is a mystery, as 'his cell and clothing
were again thoroughly searched yesterday
and to all appearances the guards that sit
in front of his cell have watched him'

regarded as tho most desperato Anarchist of

put DTNAirrrE r ma mouth.
At a quarter to 9 precisely, Lings placod in
his mouth one of the powerful caps used in
exploding dynamito, bent over and lighted a
candle and then fired it.
The explosion tore away both lips and the
tongue, lacerated the face ' horribly, blew
away nearly all tho teeth on the
left side and fraotured the lower
maxillary. He fell to tho floor with a
stifled cry and lay thero in a convulsion of
agony, the blood pouring from the ghostly
wounds.
THE JAXXi YABD.
When the door was opened by tho death
watoh and the jailer the man presented a
peotaolo never to be forgotten. There was
little smoke from the explosion and the re
port was liko that of a 22-callbre uistol
somewhat muffled. Lingg was hurriedly
raised and placed upon his eot, and at first
was supposed to be dead. The blood pouring
back into the throat was strangling him.
TUX WOUND r-BONOUKOID JJOETiX.
Ho was turned up on his side, his eyes
protruded and the sight seemed to have been
destroyed. With his hands he made foeble
attempts to beat away the assistants, and
with a gnrgling half cry, half moan, he
seemed to be struggling to speak.
The physician, who was hurriedly sum
moned, pronounced the wound mortal, and
at this moment, one hour after the explosion,
le is reported to bo rapidly sinking.
Tho instrument of death and manner of its
use was worthy the man.
' xxoitxmxst xn the btbeets.
Iks shattering of the candle caused the re-
port that it was a bomb hidden in a candle.
If it hod been a bomb it would have blown
tho jalko plbces.
There is groat excitement oil over town
and all kinds of rumors as to what the effect
of Lingg's act will bo.
NORTHEAST COBBEDOn IK THE JAIL.
Tho general impression seems to bo it will
only insure tho hanging of the rest of tho
Anarchists.
OOLESBT WILL DECIDE TO-DAY.
Gov. Oglesby has just announced by wiro
that he will give his decision in the petitions
for olemency during tho afternoon.
DK80BIFTI0N OF TUX CAPS'
The caps used in exploding dynamito aro
one inch long and made of Pressor coppor,
They contain five grains of pure fulminate of
mercury, whioh more than half fills tho cap.
Tho fuse is inserted in this, and whon tho
spark reaches tho fulminate tho powerful
detonation is sufficient to explode tho dyna
mito surrounding it.
I once saw tho whole hand blown off a
miner who was incautiously twittting a fuse
into one of theso caps. Tho coppor tubo is
invariably scattered by tho oxplosiou and
tho fragments, as sharp as a knife, add
materially to its deadly powers.
' nOW DID HE OET THE OAPS?
This sets at rest tho question that Lingg
was furnished with the materials of his pe
culiar warfare He and his associates, it will
bo remembered, have stoutly asserted that tho
bombs found in his cell wore placod
there by polico, and now it will bo seen that
tho materials hod been conveyed to him by
some one who knew tho deadly power of
these caps. They aro no larger than
tho 22-callbre cartridges, and oould
as easily bo conoealed in a
part of his olothing without
attracting notice even if he were searched.
The cap whioh did this work could have
boon passed to him a dozen ways. Eda Hullor,
bis sweetheart, might easily havo concealed
it in hor mouth and passed it to him in a
.kiss.
Women passed capsules of poison in two
sensational instances of suicide of criminals

It may have come in a candle, in a cigar or

It was small, but sufficient for a desperato
man's purpose.
mo siok or nia intentions.
Lingg gave n signs of his design this
morning. His "Wio Getz" was as cheerful
as usual. When he awoke and sainted his
death watch, once looking out of his cell, ho
laughed. Thero was nothing in any occurrence
to laugh at and something in his thoughts
seemed to omuso him. Several times ho
paced up and down in his usual nervous
fashion. Then ho became quiet and attracted
no notice until the explosion.
EXCITEMENT AT TUB JAIL.
Intenso excitement reigns in the jail. It
was at first thought that Lingg had shot his
death watch; then it was supposed he had
fired a pistol through tho bars at somo
one. A hundred voices were clamoring
at once. Fielden, Parsons, Engel and Schwab
pressed their faces against the grating to see.
Spios cowered in the uttermost end of his
cell. Fischer yelled in terror. The pistol
theory still obtained for some minutes after
Lingg's ceU had been opened. But mo
weapon was found. The candle, with its
end shattered and bloody, was found
near him', and this led to the supposition that
Lingg hod used a bomb concealed in a candle.
It was not until the physician had found a
fragment of tho copper in the mass of raw and
quivering flesh which was once the handsome
face of the bomb-maker that the truth was
discovered.
SPIES IS HAFFT.
When Spies learned that his mortal
enemy of late had hoisted himself on a
petard he illy concealed his gratifica
tion. There has been no lovo lost between
these two sinco the Supreme Court's de
cision. Spies stood in deadly fear of
Lingg, and Lingg seemod resolutely deter
mined that Splea's neck should not escape tho'
gallows by any show of contrition or wild ap
peal for clemency. ' Hang or go f roe " was
Lingg's motto, and he meant to see that Spios's
fate should not bo gentler than his own. It
was thought by those conversant with
the affair thai npoa tho slightest show
appearing of clemency for Spies the bomb-
maker's aocompllco would mako a dotallod
confession and show exactly tho relations
between tho wild-eyod orator of tho Arbeitcr
Zettung, and tho hurling of tho bomb at tho
Haymarkot. Tho touguo torn from its root
will novor toll tho Btory now. The hand is
unnerved and quivering with agony that
could havo written it, and Spios is safo from
that dangor.
WILD EXCITEMENT IN THE CITT.
The nows that Lingg has killed himself
shot through tho city with electrio rapidity,
and fanned tho growing excltoment into
flame.
Nothing but tho Anarchists was talked of
last night and to-day. Tho theme has crowded
out every other topic
What effect will this bloody eplsodo havo
upon tho Governor?
Will it delay the hanging of the others ?
Will it brood troublo or allay it ?
Will it excito tho sympathizers of the An
archists to an armed effort to reloase tho con
domnod? All theso questions are flashed from lip to
lip. The city is. rif o with rumors.' Many are
absurd, but find eager listeners and credulous
disciples.
DOES Tins MEAN RESISTANCE ?
The report that the Central Labor Union is
to turn 10,000 men upon tho streets to-morrow
has caused intense excitement.
Frightened men assert that this means armod
resistance to tho law, and by organized bodies,
and the rumors aro that the Governo has boen
requested by tho authorities to concontrato tho
Stato troops hero as rapidly as possiblo has
heightened tho alarm.
Theso reports are of courso in tho main,
groundless. But thoy serve to lndicato tho
growing tension.
Imaginary bombs aro being found all ovor
tho city and every stray fragment of gas pipo
is the foundation for a now report.
nOW NINA DECEIVED THE NEWS.
A representative of The Evxnimo Wobld
met Miss Van Znndt at the door and told her
what Lingg had dono. Sho staggered back a
step, pressed her hand to "her heart and
gasped, "AVhat?"
Upon bolng ossurod that it was indoed
truo, sho oxclalmed with great agitation t
" My God, has it come to this!"
LINOO CANNOT nECOVEB.
At 2 o'clock Lingg was still alive, but can
not recover. He is partly conscious, and
suffering horribly. Nothing can bo dono
moro than to prolong life a fow hours, al
though his nervo and strong vitality may
enable him to lire several days.
WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH Bill?
A serious question rifl to what will .be dono
with him to-morrow has arisen. Unless re
prieved he must, according to law,
THE JAIL AND PABT OP TDD COUNTY DUTLDDta.
be carried to tho scaffold and hanged
with tho rest. Becovory would be
impossible in his case, oven wore
the wound less extensivo, for, aside from tho
mercurial poisoning of the flesh, fragments
of tho corroded copper havo boon driven in
boyond probing, and tho ensuing inflamma
tion will cause death. Ho will probably dio
of shock to-day.
WILL SB IIANOED IP ALIVE.
Sheriff Matson says the wounded man will
be hanged to-morrow, if alivo then, unless
tho Governor shall reprieve him.
Tho easo with which Lingg got or retained
tho dynamito cap, in spite of all precautions,
has shown danger to many people who hvoo
not seen it before. Thoy say now that if
Lingg could secrete that weapon so it could
not bo found, it would bo easy to hide dyna
mite and explode it, too. in big buildings in
Chicago.
LAWYEBS AND ANABCIIIST8.
Mr. V. V. Hunt, the attorney for Lingg,
who has been trying to have the Anarchist
declared insane, was at Judge Baker's house
this morning at 8 o'clock and asked the Judgo
to hear the petition and grant a writ for an
nquiry into Lingg's sanity.
Tho Judgo told Mr. Hunt that tho petition
must not bo presented to him but to the
court, and that his court had adjourned until
10 o'clock this morning. Thereupon Mr.
Hunt departed, saying that he would appear
in court.
Tho application for a writ of habeas cor.
pus, signed by Spies, Fielden and Schwab
late yesterday, was presented to Judgo Baker
at his house this morning. The application
will .be argued in his court later. .
It is understood that two applications for
writ of habeas corpns will be made this morn
ing in the caso of tho other Anarchists, but
tho judges beforo whom action will be taken
aro unknown.
CHICAGO EQUAL TO THE OBDEAL.
Undorneatb all tho chatter of tho chicken
hearted is rising the spirit of determination
that any Anarchist attempt to disturb the
city's peace shall be visited heavily upon tho
offender. There is a spirit of war-in the air,
and at the word Chicago will have tens of
tliousands of resoluto dofenders rallying to
the preservation of her interests.
If trouble is to come it will not bo on one
side.
The workingmen aro wild with indignation
that Anarchists should assuino that their in
terests aro identical. If thero is a riot or an
assault, tho workingmen will bo among tho
first to moot it and punish its leaders.
Tho fooling is now running high and lamp
posts will bear multitudinous fruit If tho
threats of tho " Kods" take tho shapo of action.
Thero will assuredly be no nonsense, no mild
arrests or inoffectivo clubbings when the
main shock is at hand.
As for demoralization, thero is nothing of
the kind. Anger is tho chief emotion ex
cited by the dangor, and theso strong men of
the West will snuff tho battlo from afar if
danger means moro than bombast and
threats.
Every precaution 1b being takon to in
suro against an outbreak, and it Is not at all
probable that thero will be any collision to
morrow. What may como after tho elocution is
a different matter.
To mo tho outlook is that if tho " Beds "
contemplate any violonco their minds will bo
changed whon thoy view iho grim muzzles of
guns with capablo men behind them men
who aro not to bo surprised or struck without
striking back. There is considerable snarl
ing, but tho wolves will bite at exceedingly
long range
B01IB3 ALL 0YK TUB CITY.
A Nnmbcr of Infernal Machine F.uod on
the West Bide leore Francis Train.
nCIAL TO TBI XYXXIHa WOBLD. 1
OmoAoo, Nov. 10 Bombs and infernal
machines or things that aro alleged to be
bombs and infernal machines contiuuo to bo
picked up all over tho city. In many cases
thoy are "dummies" scattered about by
weak-minded persons who havo a curi
ous hallucination that thoro is some
thing funny about scaring a lot of
timid pooplo into hysterics. Somo of tho
articles seem to bo roal bombs, though why
theylshould bo put whero thoy aro found
no ono knows. This morning a physician
living out on tho west side found on his front
porch a round box about three inches long
and ono and ono-half inohes in diameter. It
was inolosed in a thick covering of brown
paper, on which was written; "Don't lot
any ono see you open. this. Two lives aro
worth more than one. Beware, beware. Tho
city calls upon you for help. Bo careful
upon whioh end you open this."
The box was taken to the Desplalnes stroet
station and found to contain a quantity of sat
urated gun cotton. Tho next development was
tho finding of n' .bomb on the baok porch of
another .residence on the west side by a let
ter carrier. It was a pleoe of steam pipo
about seven inches long, and to ono end of
which was attached a fuse. It was taken to
the Dcsploines street station, and a plumber
was sent for to open it. Tho pipe contained
pieces of iron, nails, etc, and enough
drnamite to havo blown tho house to
pieces. So great is tho terror of
bombs that anything in tho shape of pipe
that is found anywhore is straightway pro
nounced an Anarchist bomb, but in theso
cases there appears to havo been an actual
attempt to kill somebody, U 'i no one
knew that tho persons threaten , wero par
ticularly obnoxious to tho " Beds." Sensa
tional despatches about Anarohists leaving
various cities for Chicago to mako troublo
tho day of tho execution come in overy day.
Ono from Newcastle, Pa., says that the
Mayor of that town received a tolcgram to
day advising him to look out for an Anar
chist who had loft Pittsburg for hero, en
route to Chicago. The man was seen at
Lako Erie Junction, but did not stop. He is
tall and thin, has red hair, is slightly bald,
and wears glasses. He gives his namo as
Holier and is from Now York. Ha was in
charge of forty men. who were on the train,
each with a rifle.
KeUor says 5,000 strango Anarchists will be
in Chicago Thursday and will prevent the
execution. His story bears tho appearances
of truth, as tho men all had Chicago tickets
from Now York. Tho men refused to talk.
Several foreigners working hero joinod them
at tho junction with Chicago tickets. The
lolico arrangements for Friday aro so
thorough that if any Anarchists really do
como from abroad with the idea of making
troublo thoy will find this climate very un
healthy for them.
Citizen George Francis Train called ot
The Wobld bureau to-day to bid good by
and announced his early reappearance in Now
York. He hud with him his manager, his
brass-buttoned messenger boy and a yonng
man named Adam Cot tain.
Cottam was a prisoner in the jail lost wook.
Ho was a coachmen, and was arrested for
running ovor a littlo child. Train said ho
had been in jail eighteen months without
trial. Ho was discharged Monday. Train
exhibited him as a witness to prove that tbo
bombs wero put in Lingg's cell by tho polico.
Cottam was employed in cleaning tho coll.
Ho says that Thursday he cleaned and white
washed tho cells of all tho Anarchists. Every
thing' in Lingg's cell was taken out then and
carefully examined. There was no sign of a
bomb. Saturday afternoon ho cleaned all tho
cells again and examined their contents, and
ho is willing to swear there was no bomb
there, nor any such box as tho ofllcors say
Lingg's bombs wero found in. Train mado
Cottam stand up and deliver this statement
liko a schoolboy speaking a piece.
Train soldi "lorn going back to New
York at 5 o'clock this afternoon. I leave
Chicago forever. I am going back to my
bench in Madison Square and I novor will
speak another word to an adult as long as I
live. I broko silenco to save theso men and
I have saved them. You need not fear, thoy
will not bo hanged. Thero is no donbt about
that. But I want to got away from
this sky here. It is a bod sky,
an carthquako sky. You know I foretold the
bleflre. I tell you now that that is a bod
sky, and li behooves every man that valuos
his llfo to got out from under It. The papers
say I am a crank, but you will sea. I toll you
thoso men will uovcr hang, and I am the
causo of it. Tell Tub Evenino World that
I will bo baok on my bonch In Madison

The Nun In New York.
Horr Most was found in his littlo sAnctum
in William street, editing Jkr Freiheit, Uio
journal of tho Anarchists. He said
" I think ho was right if it is a fact that ho
has committed suicide, but I cannot draw
any conclusions from his death until I hear
all tho particulars."
Tho Socialist organizations of Now York

Murray to parade tho streets of this city ten

In viow of tho proceedings which havo oc
curred in Chicago, Supi. Murray called all
tho precinct Captains togethor this morning
and ordored them to detail platoons of iollco
to march with tho procession and to
hold all their reserves in. readiness
at tho station-houses in caso of trouble.
There is on impression at Polico Headquar
ters mat somo malicious person may cause a
disturbance or riot among the paradera by
tho throwing of missiles.
"Do I think ho was right? Most as
suredly," said Editor Bohcvltoh. "At tho
best there was but littlo hope for him; for
even if his sentence had been commuted he
would havo been consigned to prison
for life, and as the fooling against Lingg is
bitterer than it is against tho others, tho
treatment whioh ho would havo received
would have boen a thousand times worse than
death.
" With this suioldo of Lingg tho first of tho
sorlcB of judicial murderB is consummated.
His blood is on tho governing
classes of this country, and what has
happened to-day, and what will happen to
morrow will mark the turning point in tho
whole history of tho social movomout in this
country."

"The method ot Lingg's salclde stamps him as a
