VOL. YIIL BANKS BADLY BITTEN, j Failure of a Chicago Packing House Firm i With Lia v ;Uties of Haifa ] Million. The Managing Partner Plees to Canada After Issuing Numerous Bo^us Warehouse Receipts. Only 300 Ha«rs of Salt Found to Cover tlie Enormous Indebted ness lie Left. Several Chicago and New York Bank ers .Let In For Very Large Amounts. A Bad Failure. Chicago. Oct. 9.— N. M. NeeU, manag- j es partner in the well known packing j louse of J. G. Ferguson & Co.. is alleged j to be in Canada, having issued $400,000 in ' togas ware boose receipts. The loss will fail entirely on the banks— a Xew York bank being in for 5100,000. The Chicago banks which lose are all rich. Xeeld is j said to have lett for Canada on Thursday . night He was 45 years of ase. J He was a bis speculator on the wrong side of ' stocks. Ferguson re- j fuses to make a statement Neeld was a ; director of the board of trade. The firm was composed of J. C. Fergu- ; son and Ferguson & Son; Goodbody, of Liverpool; Neeld. a son-in-law, and a Mr. j Howard, also a son-in-law. The latter had bis headquarters at New York, and from j that place managed the shipments. For j that reason some banking was done there. I The New York Corn Exchange bank is the heaviest loser, beuut 5100,000 in the hole. without a dollar of security. The heaviest j losers here are the banks, and in this order: The First National, the Metropolitan, Illi nois National and probably a number of others. The Continental is the smallest loser among the banks. It is explained that Xeeld was NOT A SHREWD BUSINESS MAX. He was the cause of the failure of his father-in-law some years ago. Mrs. J. C. Fenmsoo, however, was very wealthy, and loaned money to start the house here. She i now holds a mortgage on it. The defalca- i tion grew, it is "believed, through a year, j and it is presumed it started with no really dishonest motive. Bat the buyers' receipts ■were soon beyond his control and before he left he sunk everything out of sigiit. The house of J. C. Ferguson & Co. is one that has been in existence for twenty-five years. It was in existence in Indianapolis before Chicago was the packing center. Xeeld married the daughter of J. C. Ferguson, whom he has now KITIXED BY HIS CROOKEDNESS. lie and a son of the senior Ferguson. Edward, moved here and opened a house at the yards about ten years ago. Xeeld j has been the managing partner ever since. For ■ number of years he really has been the head of the firm. It did a very large business with England, and rated as high as any firm in the trade, although, of j course, not doing business on any such scale as one or two other houses. It now appears that the firm had lately ceased active operations in killing hogs, and that the storage receipts were either fradulently issued, or else that the property covered by them had been removed and converted into money, which was either squandered on the board of trade or carried away. The bank ers were somewhat reluctant to talk about the matter this afternoon. The blow was unexpected, and they had hardly time to re cover their breath. The manager of the K. G. Dunn & Co. Commercial agency, said that J. C. Fereuson & Co. had been DOING THEIR BUSINESS principally through the Exchange National bank at the stock yards, which has more intimate business relations with the First National bank of Chicago than with any other. The agency refused to give the rating of the involved packing firm, except to say that it was very good and that $400,000 might cripple it. but it would not necessarily cause complete failure. The losers, of course, are very reticent, but it is known that the following banks have suf fered: Corn Exchange, of New York; First National, of Chicaeo: Metropolitan, of Chicago; Bank of Montreal, of Chicago; Bank of Illinois, of Chicago; Continental, of Chicago, and the British Bank of North America. It is also said that some of the Boston banks were stuck. It is said that the First National bank here is THE HEAVIEST LOOSER. About £300.000 is divided among Chicago banks. At C o'clock to-day, Secretary Stone, of the board of trade, declared that the warehouse receipts of J. C, Ferguson & Co. were '•irregular." Neeld had. of course, opened as a warehouseman, but this was for only $5,000. A banker, who is familiar with the facts, says that the losses with the banks are as follows: Corn Ex change, of New York, 8100,000: Bank of British North America, 875.000; First National, of Chicago, 350,000; Continental, of Chicago, 150,000; Metropolitan, of Chi cago, 520, 000. This banker said, however, that there were a great lot of receipts in the bands of board of trade capitalists, so that while the loss of the banks is only 5295,000, there will beat least 8100,000 owed on the outside. The firm's capital was 5200,000. THE HOUSE AT THE YARDS is mortgaged for SSO.OOO to Mrs. J. C. Fer guson. The First National called a loan two days ago and that caused the trouble. Attachments were taken against the firm this afternoon by William Kirkwood & Co. for 59,600, and by William E. Webbe & Co. for 51. 340. The bank will take out no attachments, for the reason that all that was found in the warehouse, where there should have been 8500,000 worth of property, was 300 bags of salt The method of fraud was this: He issued receipts to the banks on pork, meat and lard in the Ferguson house at the stock yards to the amount of about 8400,000. On these he borrowed money from the banks. A share of the linns banking was done in New York, and for that reason about 8100.000 is owM at one institution there. The First National is among the heavy sufferers there. • THE FIRM BANKED THERE. Last month Xeeld sold the stuff in his warehouses over again to other parties and grot money on that. Xeeld was here up to Thursday noon. It was known three days that the firm was in trouble. No crooked ness was suspected until yesterday, when the bank, alarmed at not finding Xeeld, tried to attach certain property on winch they held receipts and found no prop erty there. By that time word was received from Xeeld, who was In Canada. B. P. Hutchinson says: '"It is about the worst thing that has ever happened to the trade." Mr. Ferguson was in no condition to talk to-day. He was in a terrible state of mental anguish. When asked about the truth of the reported flight of Neeld he said he hart had no time to investigate the af fair. As soon as this could be done he would be willing to talk, but for the presmt he did not know where Neeld was, nor did he know anything about the embezzlement. HE WAS KYWCIIED. A. Notorious Desperado Dies a Vio lent Death at the Hands of Vig ilantes. Montbose. Col., Oct 9. — This morn ing the body of John F. MeLees was found dangling in mid-air from a gate beam at the stock yards, having been dead several hours. The cause of the hanging was as follows: Several weeks ago Billy MeLees, his son, a worthless tin horn gambler, was ordered to leave Montrose.

Ga., Oct. 9. — Benjamin W. Furlong, who committed suicide here two weeks ago. led a singular life of despera tion. From the time when he was a boy to the hour of his death, he was a terror to every neighborhood in which he lived. He is credited with bavins committed innumer able crimes. On September 1. he started on a big debauch, and was so desperate that even his confederates feared him. On the night of Thursday, September 23, he called his, wife and children to him, asked them to pardon him for his past bad conduct,* and declared that the morning's light would find him a new man. After kissing them he retired to his room, where he was found an hour later in a comatose condition, aud by his side was an empty laudanum vial. The end came before morning, and with the news of Furlong's death went rumors of a darker crime. No one would speak for over a week, and then the story came out. which established the fact that Furlong had been driven to suicide because of a murder, which he had committed two weeks before, and in the commission of which, he had two confederates. Outraged and Murdered. Hazeltox, Pa., Oct. 9.— John Brnn ziski, 16 years old, and Frank Zingling, this morning discovered the murdered and out raged body of young Brunziski's mother. The spot where the body was found indi cated that a fierce struggle had taken place before the crime was committed.

IS THIS BLACKMAILING? A Chicago Woman Says She Has Found a Lost Husband. The Allesed Ilusband Says It Is a Case of Blackmailing. A woman registered at the Merchants as Mrs. A. B. Staudenmyer, Matoon. 111., last Friday . afternoon. Yesterday she called at police headquarters and explained . that she was in search of her husband, who ' bad left her three years ago. Inquiry brought out the statement that the man she claimed as her husband was Benjamin B. Staudenmyer, who keeps a saloon at 18 East Seventh street. Stau<!enmyer was sent for, and on arriving at the station was identified by the women as the person she was in search of. Stauden myer denied that the woman was his wife or ever had been, and explained that at one time she was employed by nim at a salary of $50 pet month. This pat a different complex ion on the affair, and the officers advised her to consult an attorney. Mrs. Staudenmyer, us she calls herself, was seen at the hotel last evening. She is about 35 years old. She ad mitted that there had been no marriage cere mony, as provided for dv law, but said that she had lived with Staudenmyer lor years and passed as his wife. She said she had not made up her mind just what to do, but thought she would bring 1 suit aprainst Staudenmyer. He left her, she claimed, three years ago and she had not known where he was until recently, when she learned that he was married to a St. Paul lady. In case anything- was published about the affair she wanted papers sent to her ad dress at 75 Halstead street, Chicago. SAYS IT IS BLACKMAIL. Mr. Staudenmyer, when questioned about the story last evening said it was a blackmailing: scheme and nothing: else. The woman he hud em ployed as a servant to take care of his chil dren after his wife's death, and paid her £50 a month lor her serviced. For reasons which he thought best not to mention, as they might reflect on the woman's character, he discharged her. She never went by his name tojhis knowledge, and was known in Chicago as Mrs. Perkins. He said he had received a note from her last evening:, telling him that unless he called at t.ie hotel before 9:30 o'clock she would expose him in the papers. He had consulted an attorney and had been advised to pay no attention to her threats or demands. He intended to fljfht the matter in the courts if suit was com menced, and said again and again that the woman's object was to extort money from him. The woman, accompanied by a gentleman, a friend from Chicago, laid her case before an attorney last evening, but refused to say what steps would be taken in the matter. A Luctoui. New "York. Oct. 9. — It is expected that the strike of the brass and silver workers will become general in this and the sur rounding cities.

CORRALED BY CHICAGO The National League Pennant to EomaL in the Garden City at Least Another. Year. Capt. Alison's Babies Each to Have a New Suit of Clothes When They Eeach Home. President Spaldlng Talks Enthusias tically on the World's Championship. Record of the L.eazue--The Men WHO Will Play In St. Paul j >eit Season. The Flap i* Chicago*, Chicago wins the pennant of 1886. The struggle has been the severest in the league's history, and the champions have fairly earned their victory, for they have not only won more gained than any of their competitors, but they have won every series contested. Detroit has taken every series except that with Chicago, and the differ ence between the teams in this series, four games, is but one more than the difference between them on the season's work. New York and Philadelphia were very evenly matched, each having won eight games of the other, and there is but a trifling differ ence in their percentages. Boston and St. Louis have done scarcely so well as their friends hoped, while Kansas City and Washington are at the foot of the list, where all shrewd guessers placed them from the start. Detroit gained a lead about the middle of May, and held it by a narrow margin most of the season. New York be came a dangerous competitor on the second visit of the Westerners to the East, so dan gerous, in fact, that it pushed Chicago out of second place for a day, and was but two games behind Detroit. At this point the general impression prevailed that the Giants would feet to the front and stay there, but they commenced dropping games to Washington and Phila delphia, and on their Western trip lost so often that they fell out of the race. Since their return home they have done pretty good ball playing, and were considerably nearer Chicago at the season's close than a few weeks earlier. It is expected *the league will be composed of the same clubs next year, although there is much mouthing going on in some quarters. For instance. Boston is at outs with Manager Watkins, of Detroit, who, it is urged, pays no atten tion to the $2,000 limit, but buys up players right and left at whatever price he is obliged to pay. It is also claimed at the Hub that Boston pays Detroit 55 to $1 re ceived in gate receipts, and many there want the league broken up and an Eastern league formed of Atlantic states clubs. The complete record of the league is as follows. . pi o si 3i a £ * 3 3'l* % CX.BS. »o^s.oo£S' « ""3 I CLUBS. ?? c a ? S. * = : ?"

Oct. 9.— Seldom has such in terest in the base, ball championship race been manifested^ in** this city as during to day when. the reports of the Philadelphia- Detroit games at Philadelphia, and the Bos ton-Chicago game at Boston were being re ceived through the "tickers" and an nounced on the bulletin boards about the city. It was known that to make sure of its hold upon the pennant the White Stock ings would have to win the game with Bos ton, or Detroit would have to lose one or more games with Philadelphia. When the news was received of Chicago's victory and Detroit's defeat there was cheering by the crowds. On learning of the club s victory President Spalding, of the Chicago club, sent a telegram to Capt. Anson, in which he said: You bave clinched the pennant In great style. Knew we could depend upon the old war horses in a pinch. You have won the league championship. Now come home and win the world's championship. The telegram also notified the members of the team that a suit of clothes awaited the order of each, and that the team col lectively should receive one-half of the receipts in the coming games with St. Louis. The first games with the St. Louis Brown Stockings will be played here on Oct. 18, 19 and 20 and three games in St. Louis on Oct. 21. 22 and 23. The seventh game, if one is necessary, will be played at a neutral point. President Spalding has chosen Messrs. McQuade and Kelly of the American umpires and President Van Der Ahe has chosen Messrs. Pearce and Quest of the league to constitute a board of um pires. Chicago 12, Boston 3. Boston", Oct. 9. — Chicago administered an overwhelming defeat to Boston to-day. Clarkson pitched for Chicago. He was so effective that but four single hits were made by the local players. Stemmyer, who pitched for Boston, was batted very freely. The features outside of the battery were the batting of Kelly and Anson and the base running of Goie and Sunday for Chicago. The fielding of Nash for Boston was miserable and the general play of the home team was as loose as their batting was weak. Flint, the Chicago catcher, injured his hand in the sixth inning and was obliged to retire. The came was called at the end of the seventh inning on account of darkness.

Philadelphia Vs. Detroit. Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. — The league championship season closed here to day with two games between Detroit and Philadelphia. The first game began •at 3 o'clock in the presence of 8,000 persons. Both clubs were on theic; mettle, but the Philadelphians batted Smith, the left handed phenomenon, with great . freedom, while the hits of the Wolverines off Fergu son were too widely scattered to be pro ductive of runs. The fielding was superb, every run scored being earned. The home club settled all chances of the Detroit club winning the championship by bunching five hits in the third inning, two in the fourth and two triple baggers in the eighth. t - Fer guson was the hero of the day and received I a deafening ovation at the conclusion of game.

THE SECOND GAME. • After an intermission of fifteen minutes the second game was begun. The visitors substituted Con way and Ganzel as their battery in place ■of Smith and Bennett, while Ferguson and Clements continued as the battery for the home club, the only | change in the team being the substitution of Wood in place of McCarthy in left field. Ferguson continued his good work and the ; Wolverines could get but five scattered hits , in the six innings played, the only run ; being obtained on Fogarty's fumble : and singles by Thompson and Hanlon.

Manager Barnes, of the St. Paul team, gave represe ntatives of St. Paul papers a tip a week ago as to the composition of his team in ISB7, requesting them to keep the matter quiet for a time, but since Manager Whitcomb, of Minneapolis, has seen tit to make a statement on the subject, the names of the members of the team may as well be correctly given to the public. Here they 1 are: Sowders and Baldwin, pitchers; Col- j gan and Sage, catchers; Pickett, first base; i McCarthy, second base; Cleveland, third base; Crooks, short stop; Wilmont, left field; Jevne, center field; Murphy, right field. So far as fielding is concerned this is a powerful aggregation, but it is conspic uously weak in spots at the willow. Pickett, Cleveland, Wilmont and Murphy are hard hitters, Sowders and Baldwin fair, Colgan. Crooks and Jevue only good at times, and Sage and McCarthy pretty regularly weak, j However, the team is much stronger than that of 1886, and it is believed it will always work together for victory.

Flattering Progress, Despite a Combi nation of Adverse Circumstances. The Episcopal Convention. Chicago, Oct. 9.— The fourth day's session ot the bouse of deputies of the Protestant Episcopal church began at the Central Music ball at 9 o'clock. Bishop Dunlap, missionary bishop of New Mexico, reported the result of three years', labor in New Mexico and Arizona. He said, the business interests of the two territories bad been in a measure paralyzed by the mur der of nearly four hundred white people by the Indians. In the past six years the value of church property had increased from $5,000 to $47,000, all but $7,000 of which was raised among the people there. The bishop said he could not but feel that the Eastern cities had not contributed their share toward the spread of the Gospel and to aid the growth or" the church. There were only four I missionaries in the field, and the annual ap propriation, $3,000, was divided equally among them. The : support from the board averaged smaller than that of apy other de nomination. Still the church membership bad grown rapidly and if proper aid was ex tended, the church. -, WOULD BE FIRMLY' ESTABLISHED. . Right Rev. Brewer, missionary ; bishop Of Montana, said the number of communicants "had increased to 927; ia- the . territory. X The church had now eleven ' church instructors i and four rectories. The people of the terri tory had been very liberal, but the means at hand hud been inadequate for church work, i Many of the missionary workers were com | pelled to enter upon • the work without any ! promise of salary, but nevertheless they had remained in the field and had succeeded in materially aiding the church's growth. He acknowledged with feeling the aid rendered the missionaries Jin the field by the ladies' auxiliaries of Massachusetts and Pennsylva nia. Bishop Paddock, MISSIONARY OF WASHINGTON TERRITORY, said the last three years hud been ones of great monetary depression on the Paciilc coast. As a consequence, some small mis sionary stations had necessarily been abandoned, and the missionaries had returned to : Eastern fields of labor. Some of their places had been filled, yet in many respects the work had been carried on only by the exercise of great deprivation. Nevertheless the number of communicants had increased largely. New towns were springing up all over the territory, and it was almost impossible to meet the demands for the establishment of chapels. Bishop Walker, of North Dakota, spoke of the mar velous growth of population in that country. He said the white population was intelligent, refined aud progressive. Two thousand ' school houses had been built, more than iv j fifteen other states of the Union, and eleven , Episcopal churches bad been built during the i past three years. The bishop spoke of the ' lamentable condition of the Indians in Turtle j mountain, who were continually on the verge of starvation. He intended to make a per sonal appeal to the governor for the proper } care of these people. The feeling of the i white people was not very kind towards | them, still, the speaker said, he bad found an I Imperative need of missionary work among : them, and he asked for aid for the church to this end. » IT. m.

Louisville, Oct. — The feverish and ex citing congressional contest waged in this disirict for the past three months against Albert S. Willis for the appointment of a Re publican postmaster at Louisville, by the Courier Journal and Times, representing the Democracy of the city and county, terminated to-night by the defeat of Willis by A.J. Caruth. The contest has been very bitter, religion and personalities being dragged into the campaign. The Democratic primary to day resulted in a sweeping victory for Caruth, every ward in the city going for him. Willis lost the precinct in which he lived, as well as the ward. Ctiruth's majority will be 1,200 in the city, while the county is very close. Wil lis' friends made a strong effort to elect him, and it is said $50,000 was "expended in bis in terest, and $25,000 was spent in buying votes for him. The city is wild to-ni<rht over the result. - Mr. Caruth was serenaded at 10 o'clock by thd Democracy of Louisville. End off the Apache War. ■ , Albeuquerqde, N. M., Oct. Gen.

The Condemned Chicago Anarchists Haye Their Pate formally Announced by Judge Gary. They Are to Suffer the Extreme Penalty of the Law On the 3d Day of December. No Emotion Shown by tbe Doomed Men on Hearing the I>read Worda. Their Female Relatives Also Exhibit Remarkable Nerve- -Parsons' .Long Speech. The Chicago Anarchists. Chicago, Oct. 9.— As the concluding scenes of the great trial of the anarchists approached a close more interest was taken, and the suppressed excitement became more | marked. Hundreds and hundreds of people j wended their way toward the criminal court I building, each one desirous of listening to the conclusion of the speech of Anarchist Parsons, and with the expectation of hear ing the death sentence pronounced. Par sons resumed his speech as soon as court was opened. He created something of a sensation by declaring iv a very dramatic and impressive manner that they had posi tive proof that the bouib which created such destruction at the Haymarket was thrown by an agent of the New York capitalists and monopolists, who sent the man here to take this means of breaking up the eight hour movement. AS PKOOF OF HIS ASSERTION that there was a great conspiracy on the part of capital against labor Parsons quoted the expressions of three senators ou the floor of the United States senate in which all agreed on the following theory: There is a conspiracy to increase the value of the dollar and decrease the value of labor the world over. Parsons claimed again that he and his colleagues were the victims of this conspiracy. He asked: Wbat are the real facts of tbe Haymarket tragedy, your honor? Mayor Harrisou has caused to be published his opinion as to the matter of conjecture in the New York World, which was copied into the Tribune, of this city, and in which he said: "I do not believe that there was any intent on the part of Spies and those men to have bombs thrown at the Haymarket. IfJ they had, why was there but one thrown? It was as easy to have bad a dozen or fifty, aud to have them thrown. in all parr of the city as to thrown oi • and again, if it was intended to thre bombs that night, the leaders would no< have been there at all. but in my opinion, like comuianders-in-chief, would have BEEN IN A SAFE PLACE. No, it can't be shown that there was any intention on the part of those individuals to have that act perpetrated at that particular meeting." Now, your honor, this is the mayor of Chicago. He is a sensible man; he is in a position to know what he is talking about: he ought to be able to form an intelli gent opinion. I expect that the mayor knows more about the methods by which this evi dence and this testimony has been manu factured. Your honor, there is too much at stake to take anything for granted. Mayor Harrison thinks so, and, your honor, too, should not destroy seven lives as a species of light amusement. Parsons maintained that the American group were justified in bearing arms, that the constitution gave them that right, but that question was not raised so far as Par sons was concerned. It was not sought to prove that lie was violating the law while a member of this organization. Judge Mc- Allister had held that the police could not invade their meetings without legal process, but the police in 1577 did break into the Turner hall on Twelfth street during a meeting of the furniture workers which was being held aud killed one man, and Judge McAllister said that if every policeman in the crowd was killed those participating in the meeting could not be held responsible. Were Parsons and his friends then to be blamed because they FOLLOWED JUDGE M'ALLISTER'S ADVICE as cotained in this decision, which meant that-the American croup could bear arms? Why then was this construed as illegal, when an eminent judge said it was accord ing to constitutional law? About this time Parsons asked to be allowed a recess, prom ising to finish up this evening. The re quest was denied. The court said there seemed to be uo good reason for granting repeated adjournments to listen to disser tations on political economy and readings from newspapers. He had intended to have only one session. Parsons said his condition was not as good as it had been once and he felt exhausted. He was told to go on and no limit as to time would be placed on him. Parsons resumed, but though at times dramatic, his speech was in the main purely argumentative. Many got up and wefft out for lunch, but the court and Parsons had to stay. Most of the time, after 1 o'clock, when both Parsons and every one in the court room, except the judge, was hunsrry and tired out and anxious for a recess, the speech was wearisome in the extreme. Tbe monotony was relieved once in a while by a remark which revived the interest. He waked up every policeman in the room by saying that a man's standing on the force depended on his clubbing and clubbing con stantly. His motto was, "Hit everything in sight" if he would have preferment. When he had finished speaking from his notes, Parsons entered upon an account of what he knew about the Haymarket meet ing, and of his movements immediately afterward up to the time when he surrend ered himself in court. When he began this portion of his speech he paced up and down the limited space around the table on which were his notes. He said HE HAD SURRENDERED HIMSELF, willing to meet a fair trial along with the other defendants, knowing himself to be in nocent. In relating how he met Capt. Black in front of the court room, Parsous placed his hand affectionately on Capt Black's shoulder and spoke in a gentler voice. He concluded, holding up his head proudly: "Even now I have nothing to regret." He had spoken con tinuously five hours and forty minutes, and he sank into his seat exhausted. Judge Gary was about to pronounce sentence when Capt. Black desired that a motion iv arrest of judgment should be entered, Mr. Grinnell having assured him that no merely technical matters should interfere with the defendant's rights. The court then pro ceeded to execute the solemn duty devolv ing upon him. In brief but impressive words, and in tones which at any time would have commanded respectful atten tion, the judge gave fitting expression to the judgment of the court. His face worked convulsively when he began, and when he reached the word "hanged," he faltered, and could with difficulty utter "till-you-are-dead." The last words were scarcely audible. THE DATE FIXED was the 3rd of December. Judge Gary spoke as ..follows to the de fendants: I am quite well aware that what you have 6aid, although addressed to me, has been said to the world, yet nothing has been said which weakens the force of tho proof, or the con clusions therefrom, upon which the verdict is based. You are all men of intelligence and know that if the verdict stands it must be executed. The reasons why it shall stand 1 bave already sufficiently stated in deciding the motion i'or a new trial. I am sorry beyond any power of expression for your undappy condition, and for the terrible events that have brought it about. I shall address to you neither reproaches nor exhortation. What I shall say sha'l be in the faint hope that a few words from a place where the peo ple of the State of Illinois bave delegated the authority to declare the penalty of a vio lation of their laws, and spoken upon an oc- I casion so solemn and awful as this, may ! come to the knowledge of and be headed by I thea ignorant, deluded and missruided men i who have listened to your counsels and fol | lowed your advice. It is not tbe least among I the hardships of the peaceable, frugal and NO. 2 8 3 laborious poor to Indorse the tyranny of mobs, who, with lawless force, dictate to them ORDER PENALTY 1 OF PERIL ; to limb and life where, when and upon what terms they may earn a • livelihood for them selves or their families. Any government that is worthy of the name will strenuously endeavor to secure to all within its jurisdic tion freedom to follow the lawful - avocationa and safety for their property and their per - sons, while obeying • the law, and the law ia common sense. It holds each man responsi ble for the natural and probable consequence! of bia own acts. It holds that whoever . ad vises murder is himself guilty of the murder that is committed- pursuant to bis advice, and If men band together for a forcible resistance to the execution of the law and advise murder as a means of making such, resistance effectual, whether such advice be to one man to murder another, or to a num erous class to murder men of another class all who are so banded together are guilty of any murder that is committed in pursuance of such advice. The people of this country love their institutions. They love tneir homes, they love their property. They will never consent that by violence and murder these institutions snail be broken down; their homes despoiled and their property destroyed; and the people are strong: enough to protect and sustain their institutions and to punish all offenders against their laws, and those who threaten aauger to civil society, if the law is enforced, are LEADING) TO DESTRUCTION whoever may attempt to execute such threats. The existing orderof society can be changed only by the will of the majority. Each man has the right to entertain and ad vocate by speech and print such opinions as suits himself, and the great body of the people will usually care little what he says. But if be proposes murder as a means of en forcing, be puts bis own life at stake, and nc clamor about free speech or the evils to be cured, or the evils to be redressed will shield him from the consequences of his crime. Hit liberty is not a license to destroy. Tne toler ation that he enjoys he must extend to others, and not arrogantly assume that the great ma. jority are wrong.and may rightfully be coerced by terror or removed by dynamite. It onlj remains that for the crime you have commit ted and of which you have been convicted, after a trial unexampled in the patience with which an outraged people have ex tended to you every protection and privilege of the law, which you derided and defied, that the sentence of that law now be given, In form and detail that sentence will appear upon the records of the court. ■ In substance and effect it is that the defendant Neebe be I imprisoned in the state penitentiary at Joliet I at bard labor for the term of 15 years, and that each of the other defendants between the hours of 10 o'clock in the forenoon and I 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the third day of i December next, in the manner provided by I the statute of this state, shall be hung by j the neck until be is dead. Kemove the pris oners J A deep hum arose, and every spec tator was on his feet to get x elirapse of - the prisoners. Capt. •3lack arose to save some technical point, , when silence was restored for a moment. When the matter was decided the prisoners arose and began slowly to walk out of the court room with the bailiff who had them in charge. The prisoners, who had turned to listen to the sentence with added pallor, exhibited no other emotion on hear ing the fatal words. As they arose Mrs. Parsons came up and kissed her husband. Mrs. Ames also kissed Parsons on the cheek. The relatives of the other defend ants wrung their hands, but none of tha women shed a tear. They aimed to cheer up the condemned men by a show of forti tude. The condemned men passed slowly out of the court room to the jail. As Par sons passed s >me police officers he drew his [ihand across his throat in v a signifi cant manner. Whether the motion had reference to his own fate or was intended as a prediction of the fate awaiting them could not be ascertained. THE KMGUXNOtLABOR. They Finally Settle Down to the Transaction of Business. Richmond, Oct. 9. — This is the sixth day that the generaly assembly of " the Knights ot Labor^bas been in session j here, and the first to begin with matters in such shape that the business of the convention can at once be " taken up and carried through. Each delegate - as he ■ passed through the doors entering on tho conven tion hall this morning was presented with a bundle of printed pamphlets and circu lars. One of these was the supplementary report by Ralph Beaumont, chairman of the committee on legislation, in which he proposes a congress of working men at Washington to sit while the United Statea congress* is in session. Another was a proposition of R. W. Dewey. of Detroit. Mich., to establish a weekly journal as the organ of the order. The purpose of this was that each member should be fully ac quainted with the several subjects when brought up for discussion. The committee on distribution set to work, even before the convention met, distributing the various pamphlets, etc., including Mr. Powderly's address, and distributing portions of them to the committees charged with the duty oi considering the subjects of which the re spective portions treated. Of the commit tees to be appointed only a portion were named yesterday, and when the conventioc met tho work of completing the list was resumed. Even to-day the work done wa i mainly preliminary. DOUBTS ARE EXPRESSED as to the possibility of the convention com pleting the work in two weeks, for whict Armory hall is engaged, but Mr. Powderly thinks it can be done. It is the present in tention of the committeemen and delegates to carry the work through as expeditiously as possible and make every endeavor to ba ready for an adjournment a week from to day. At the close of the morning session the following account of the proceedings was obtained from Mr. Powderly: Re ports were received from the committees, among them the report of the committee with the last convention at Hamilton. OnL, on woman labor, the report of the commit tee appointed at Cleveland on the revision of the constitution of the order; the report of the committee accompanying the con gressional committee on the tour of inves tigation of the Southwestern railroad strike. Mr. Powderly was authorized to send ' THE FOLLOWING TELEGRAM! Michael Cudahy, President of the Packers* Association, Chicago, 111.

Answer. T. V. POWDERLT. The following was sent to H. Is. Lilli man, Cohoes, N. V.: Will you open the factories at Amsterdam and allow all employes to return to work as they came out, and meet our executive board for settlement of ibis trouble and to prevent future troubles? T. V. Powdkrly. On motion it was resolved to send Thomas Bary, of the executive board, to accompany Master Workman Butler, ol District 59, to Chicago for the purpose oi endeavoring the settle the trouble between the packers and employes.
