A tow weeks nffo IAburly, n papor published in Boton In the Interosts of Individualists Anarchist", proferrod ohnrges or a very serious caturo against the Revolutionary Annrohlsts ' of this city, who nro led by John Most. Tha ' lubstnnco ol thoio charges was published In Tint Bun nt the time. They wero to tho effect that rncrabors of tho International Working rooplo's Association of Now York had boen for three )cars plotting end practising Incondlnr Ism of tho most atrocious character undor the pretence of aiding "the cause." No details were given nor wore names mentioned against whom suspicion might bo dlrocted, but It was assorted that a feature of tho programme con tistod of Insuring homohnld property and sot ling Are to It In order to collect Indemnification money, to bo contributed to the revolutionary fun J. (19 well as to be used for private curposos. The editor of Lihertv declared that bts object In publishing the charges was to secure bona fide Annrchlsts nealnst any stigma that might attach to thom from tho criminal deeds of un scrupulous men who advocate doctrlnon and commit crlmos wholly at variance with the philosophy of Individualism. Tho effect of this publication was to bring from John Most an omphatlo denial of the truth of the chargos. This denial was made In an Interview with a Hun reporter, as well as In the nou number of Freiheit, where he said: No Information hae been placed before me from any quarter, not el en from Schwab, to toe effect that nny inemtcr wliateier of tlie International Working People's Assoilatinn had undertaken such operations as are described In r.rrr Even were Hie rase otherwise, I should haie had hellher the bower nor the Incentive to tuterftrs In eUsir. ivlih which neither I nor the party hail anything toilo, which, moreover, eien If they had existed, should be accounted for by those who were concerned tn them. I would ti.iercondc.cend. directly ur Indirectly, to lltie Intercourse with any person what.oi.ver who came tome as an Informer. Let "aoclaty" look out fur lla own fruit.. I am an Anarchist, tint a policeman It 1. totally fal.e thni 1 ever had at my aide any .- . .'lieutenant" (whatever that ntav mean) of any auch ' cnar8Ct.rascouldbedcstgn-itedbylheterra"crluitnal." An attempt to verify Host's denial discloses a peculiar condition of things In anarchistic circles hero. Tbure Is internal dissension nnd discord, or rnther there was, for a considerable ? umber ol the hundred or so mombersof the nternotional Working l'oople's Association bao withdrawn from it. The cause of the no cession lies In the facts which lnd .ion tu to make Us charges of Inecndlnrism and rascality. These facte, which have boon gleaned alter considerable difficulty, show that the lending members of tho International Worklbgl'ooplo's Association hnve bean romarkably unlucky men. Taken in connection with Most's ex traordinary doctrines, tho curious fires from which these gentlemen have suffered nro In teresting. They have nil originatod In tho up sotting, breaking, or oxplodlng of kerosene oil lamps, and hnvo resulted in moro or loss damngo to tho proporty of othors than An archists, and In the collection of more or less Insurance money each tlmo by tho persons lu Whoio apartments tho Urea occurred. Boforo taking up these, occurrences In detail, it will be Interesting to rovlew rapidly various events In the past few years thnt may tend to throw light uppn the Gorman revolutionists of America. Ten year ago the "Social Demo crats" of Austria and Oermnny were little heeded. Their propaganda were iroatod with muoh the eame IndiUeront toleration as hns been tho case here. This polloy was changed alter the Russian Nihilists succeeded In re moving the Czar. Every attempt was made In Germany to suppress socialistic agitation. Law wore passed for tho expulsion of all dem . k ooratlc agitators.! rom tho land, and the police were Intrusted with tho execution of the gen eral edict. The Social Democrats then became divided Into two elasses first, the conserva tives, who trlod to accomplish as much as pos sible while obeying the laws: second, the rad icals, who dolled the laws and did everything rossibte In violation of them. Tho lenders of the radicals formed secret organizations nnd called themselves "Anarchists." not from prin ciple or philosophic com Iction, but as a point of 'tactics. Tho torm embodied for thom simply their opposition to a ruler. The radicals met with so little success in Germany that they could not oount over one hundred meuibors of their organizations. In Austria the laws were not ao sovero as In Germany. No general edict of banishment was proclaimed, but the agitators were prosecuted and imprisoned. Hero the radicals wero nu merous, having In tbolr faction a large major ity of nil the social democrats. Ju? German pollco notified abont 200 per sona nciui,,f.o'0Ourse-nlnn5r conservatives, to leave tho couniiT: There was no trial ouoh iafed to the accused. "1 no "..nhuopy democrat received an official document annouC.""r ,nn desirability ol hia tnklngatrip abroad, and it be paused to black his bunts or enfold his possessions In a pocket hnndkorchlof. ho ran dangerous risks of undesirable detention at home, liesldes the 200 who depnrtod under governmental adilco. about ns many moro made discretion tho bettor part of valor and Jled also. Some of these nent to Switzerland, btliors to England, and still others, of course, to America. John Most wont to London; Wil liam Hnssolmnnn, wno had been a colleague of Hosts in tho ltelchstag, went to Hamburg, then a free city. Most found bis way to this laud of the free from an Hngllsh prison. Has solmann came also nfter a while, and now peddles soap and edits a pnporoti tho onst side. Meantime significant oeuts weio taking place In Austria, The radical democrats. Bolf Ityled Anarchists, lacked money. Agltntlou and priipugaMda cannot flourish without funds, rind the lenders therefore begnn to preach tho doc trine tint it u a a noccsslty of the revolution to raise money. Doth parties agreed to this lapa, and the result was a Berlos of appalling crlmos fninillar to newspnpor renders nil oor the world. One of the most striking cases was that of jfeoratalllngor, b shoemaker, who was fobbed and murdered. The assassins worci irrnight to trial, but their comraJus In tho or der flocked to tho rescue und gnvo evidence tending to establish nlibK The prosecution fslied from lack of evidence. Following this camo the celebrated murder of Klsert. n small canker of Vienna. Not only was lZli-ort killod and his money secured, but his two ehlldron wore slaughtered with bim. Two men. Htellmaoher nnd Hammer, wero nrrested. trlod, convicted, and xecuted. Then the Annrchiits ptoalnlmeil oponlythat robbery, arson, and murder were the weapons of the revolution. Up to this time they had kopt their policy i-ocret, but the exe cution of the two nsROHslus was mndn the In centive to a vast deal of inllammntoiy speech making nnd bloodthirsty denunciation. Btollmnehor and Hammer wore glorified ns martyrs, and meetings weio held In many places In memory and honor of their sncrlllcq. Foremost among the admirers and disciples of the Viennese murderers was John Most. The executions took plnco aftr tho arrival In America of the vociferous ngitntor, nnd ho cre ated quite n flurry for a tlmo by his extravu fant exculpation of Ills marl yrod comrades, nnd nnmivlce to his hearers to go and do likanise.

Earnest nnd eloquent tn seconding nnd advo cating Most's doctrines wero Comrades J. O. Panzenbeck nnd Joseph Kniser. These two are frequently montioned in J'icilicit as having partaken in the public discussions of tho as sociation, ns well as having made set addresses on revolutionary topics. Among the radical Socialists of tho city they uro known as having extremely "radical" views upon their relations to society, Uthers who listened with marked attention to the soductlvo doctrine wore Comrades Frit. O. HchaAr. WII holm ScharfT, Carl Heusler. Otto Nlcolal, Her mann Wubnit. Adolph Kramer, and Com rades Nollo, Weber, Kut-ltsch. nnd Bock. Homo ol these, ns Schndr and Kubitsuh and Hech aro acknowledged us members In iYrihett: tho others arc wall known ns frequenters of the moollngs now held In Cobutger Hall, Rtanton street, but formerly In n hall on llond street. and In various other places nhcre tho associa tion met to hear Most's harangues. Quiet In quiries in various quarters olicited tho invari able response that nil those men wero Most's associates and members of either tho Interna tional Working People's 'Association or tho Social Revolutionary Club. On the evening of May 11, 18S3, Comrndo Josoph Kniser was so uufortuuate ns to suffer tho ravages of a lire In his tenement nt 43!! East Fourteenth street. The fourth floor of this building was occupied by Adolph Kramer ns a dwelling. Kniser lived on the third lloor. where tho fire originated, owing, according to tho story told to tha flremon. to Mrs. Kaiser's ac cidentally letting a kerosene lamp fall. Tho building was damaged to tho extent of (250. Mr. Knlsor's furniture naturally suffered somo Injury (25 worth, say tho official records of tho Firo Department. The Insurance company which took tho risk on the proporty, however, thought dliTorently. nnd settled with the ngl tor for 278.o9. The amount of tho policy was f 100. nnd it is n piece of good fortttuii that Mr. Kaiser had managed to secure the policy on May 7, a week preoedlng thu calamity. On Nov. 27 John Charles Panzenbeck was then living nt40C East Hixtv-thlrd stroet. Ho 0-sonie rosldent of the building told the llro mutt that n ""tro fell from Its ulaco on tho wall and knocked oC.r korosnno olliamp. At any rate the firo rosultlng jm this or somo other cause damaged the house to the extvl!1 of $1.1.00. but Carolluo Yost, the ownor. was amply Insurod. The contents of Pnnzenbeck's Bulto on the third floor wero Injured to tho amount of novoral hundred dollnrH, he said. Kmo tlmo In tho first part of the month ho had luckily taken out a policy for (700, and was paid nearly that nmount as indemnity. Other tenants In the house lost from 150 to $ltl0e:tch. On the 29th of Docombor. 1881. Wllhelm ScharfT applied toona of tho greatest compa nies In tho city for ,i policy uiion worldly goods contained In tho fourth floor tenement at 100 East Fllty-nlnth street. Ills npp icatinn was successful, ami after the lapse of a few days ho found hlmsolfthn holder of n document secur ing 111 in ngninst loss by Urn to the extent of (500. This was peculiarly fortunate, for In tho eeulng of Jan. 5, 18H3, six das uftor his impli cation, a kerosene lamp upset In his npatt-mentbaii-1 tiro broko out. The damage to tho building, owned by John D. Ulnos. was not overtJOO. Tho record makorof tho Flio De partment thought SchnrfTs furniture was not injured over (200 worth, but tho Insurance company nevertheless wero Induced to settle for (1.VJ.25. An Interesting feature of this case was that when BchnrfT presented his bill of losses nt the headquarters of the company, the day altor tho flio, his polloy had not been reg istered. The money, hon ever, was paid over. Somo time In this same year Carl Heusler, Social Democrat, established n small fancy floods store at 137 Ludlow streot. The build ng Is a six-story tonoment house, nnd was oc cupied In all apartments On the evening of Juno 5, Mr. nnd Mrs. Heusler. after shutting up shop, nntei mined a few Irionds in tho room back of the store. Theso people were Joseph Kniser nnd his wlfo Mary, who lived ut tho tlmo utt!5 Walton stroet. Brooklyn: Hermann Wnb nltzof 61 Kist i'.lnvonth streot. Carl Damn of 1)8 Avenue 1). and Otto Nlcolal. the engineer at St, Charles Hotel. Shortly after 0 o'clock a korosone oil lamp exploded, and, besides dam aging tho property, caused tnore. but not dnn gorous. Injuries, to tho llltlo.p.irty.&Noononlso In tho building was hurt, though great oxclte ment prevailed, anil the lire was soon extin guished, lliiusler'e goods nolo Insured, and n collodion of upward of (300 was mndo from the company. Most of tho utifortunnto persons prssout, however, had to pass two or threo weeks lu the hospital, somo going to Dellqvue others to the Now York Hospital, Ileusler hnd but recently atnrknd up his store, and did not resume business after this unfortunate event. Long bofoie this the International Working People's Association hnd sulTorod sevoral so oosainns. Cei tain of the members became sus picious of their oomrndos, nnd preferred to withdraw from association with thom. The seceders are one and all exceedingly reticent on the subj'-ct, nnd It was difficult to obtain In formation from them, This much, however. Isceitain; It was frequently iibtorted among the habitue's of saloons whero thu nd winced -molallsts ura in tho habit of congregating that accldonts to korosone lamps wero sometimes arrnngodwith grout skill : thnt tho comrades worn shrewd and successful In thelronslnughts on capitalistic society. It was even asserted that the Injuries recolvod by the party In Ifouslor'a backroom wero duo to tho promaturo appear ance of the lira fiend, owing tn carelessness In handling tho materials or, Ignorance of tho toaohlngsof JxriegmciiftntchaJI. Hut these nro not the only fires that hnvp visited tho agitators. On Feb, 1, 1885, Adolph Kramer took possession of a tonoment at 107 Jillory street. Drooklyn. in the house owned and In part occupied by 1'roderlok Htuft, At 10 o'clock In theovenlng of lob. 0 a korosenooll lamp brnko in his npnrtmcnts. nnd an Interest ing conflagration a theioHUlt. Ktiift'snouso w,w S'lilously damugod. over (.'UK) worth, ho says, nnd Kinmer's inriiHuro nnd belongings to an unknown .tmount, Mr. Kramer was paid (300 by the Insurance company. It won not. liowuur, until Kramor had been prosocutod norfeauallyon it charge of Incecdlnrism that he collected from the company. In the autumn of thosnmo earn slmtlnr ac cident hnppened In tho tenement of a house nn Clinton nianuo, West Ilobokon. occupied by KrM? - ,t,c!l".nr. The houso, ownod by Mr. Yiilllntn Muipliy. was so badly damaged that only tha walls remalnod Inlnct. Mr. Hcuaar was forlunntoly Insured. Mr. Muipliy. on nei. noted tho fact that when he arrived at the sceno the only thing burning was a bod, and that a strong odor of korosone pervaded tha entire building. But tha odor may have beou caused outlroly Dy tile lamp. nnd tho tamp might hnvo been nlacod accident ally near the bed boforo It broke. Another unfortunate Anarchist was Louis Wnbor, who lived nt 81 Avenue A. Tho lamp exploded In his teuomontnt 7:53 o'olock In the evening of Nov. 30 last Ills furniture was In sured for (GOO. Not long ago Wllhelm floharfT nnd CarlWII mund wero arrested for carrying concealed weapons with felonious Intent. The circum stances nro woll known, although KchnrlT was then travelling undor the alias Schliman, nnd was convicted under that natno. He Is at the penitentiary on Ulaokwoll's Island, nnd Wit mund was sont to HI ate prison for threo nnd a half yours by ltecorder Hmyth on Monday last. It may bn remembered that a lettor was found upon Wllmund In which ho nddressod hlmsolf to Most, ofTerlng his services in the causo of propaganda by dead. In Most's reply to Liberty') charges ho hints rnther broadly thnt ono Morltz Ilnchman Played tho Informer ciciiMnziaiif and nccord lngly This Hun reporter made every endeavor to secure tho nsslstnncn of Mr. llachmnn. Various Inquiries nf social reformers and revo lutionists resulted simply In tha answer, "I don't know where ha lives." Tin was found at last, however, nnd proved to boory reticent. He admitted thnt he had beon a member nf the International Working People's Association, nnd hnd brnkon away from It long since, but preferred to keep his masons to hlmsolf. Tha llnxen-halred Justus Kohwab wan also nppronohed. The rotlcence of this reformer in woll known, and In this Instance ho proserted his character. After J.ibrrtu'i disclosures he wrote a letter to tho odltor of Amur Tertfrl, nn nnarchistla organ published In Dotrolt, from which tho following Is nn extrnot: Von have probably bean enlightened by liberty as to how I atand with Molt Aa tor mirelt, I ta so far amended the Jesuitical maxim, "the end Juptlnea tho ineana," as to aay that the nieai.a must not ilc.ecrate Hi end. 1 am no partv man. lu the narrow settee of that term.

"I would ratherhave nothing furthor to say," rnmarkod Mr. Schwab to the reportor; "you know how It Is yourself 1" "But would you explain upon whnt grounds you ctjoctod Wllhelm SohnrlT, alias Rchliman. Adolph Kramor. nnd Josoph Kniser from your saloon, nnd forbade their return ?" The muscular Oormnn drew hlmsolf up to his full nelght nnd exclaimed sharply: "Where did you got those names';" "From tho ofllclal records of tho Firo De partment." replied the roportor. Theanwar apparently Iniled to satisfy Mr. Schwab, However ho said: "I turnod thom out because I had good rea son tn believe thnt they wero immoral mon. nnd thnt Is ronson onough for me." An Interesting Interview was obtained with n young mochnnlo who Is conversant with these nlTalrs, Ho suggested a way In which such fires ns hnto occurred might havo boon sot, had the occupants so desired. "Thoy might tnko n lamp, filled with oil." ho said, "nnd securely plug up the pnssngo on tho side of tho burnci Intended for tlioescnpnof gases.

This method may bo mndo moro euro by saturating strips of cloth with benrlno and laying them from n point near tho lamp to Inflammable mntorlnl elsewhere In the room.

ScrtAKTON, Va., May 3 Tho nbsenco of dis content among the miners of the anthracite coal regions, ospeolally among those of tho Lackawanna Valley, is In part due to the Influ ence of Ooneral Master Workmnn Powderly, whoso opposition to strikes Is generally known. In a reoent conversation with Tntt Sun report er, Mr. Powdorly said: "Woknowhoro to our sorrow what strikes are, and wo want no more of them. I think it will bo a long tlmo boforo ne have another great sttlke hero. At nny rate. I hope so. The terrible strikas that wo have had In tho coal ro glons, during tho last twenty years, novor re sulted In any good to tho worklngmon. They all realize that fact now. Thoy couldn't boo It at the time, but experience hns convinced them that nothing has ever beon gained by strikes. As n general thing the ond of a ell Iko found the woikingmen In n far more pitiable condition than they were when they began tho st rugglo. lean lookback now and see where hundreds of strikos havo been prevented by reason and common sense, and I can look forwnrd to a time whon nearly all disagreements botwoen bujers andfielltih, nf Isbsr will to mutually set tied by arbitration. I think It will como to this sooner orlnter. If thenowurto order strikes Is pincoa in inS ponds of the General Executivo Hoard if each local assembly is compelled to get permission from tho Oenernl Exeoutho Committee before it can order a strike, less hasty action and fewer strikes will bothoie suit.5' " Will any notion be takon on this question at tne iienorat Assembly lu Cleveland next month?" "Tim meeting will consider the labor troubles throughout the country, and will endeavor to decide on somo system of arbitrating disagree ments between employers nnd employees. Tho subject of vesting tne power to order strikes In the (ieneral Executive Board may not como up until i ho annual mooting in October." Mr. Pow.lenystlll assorts that tho country Is not yot prepared for ihu eight-hour movement. Ho sajs tho subject has not been thoroughly nnd Intelligently discussed, and that, In conse quence. It is not properly undur-tood. Ho Is heartily In favor of reducing tho hours of labor, but he fears that too hasty action will render tho attempt unsuccessful, and ho has nil along been in favor of going slow and not forcing the question, hop) nii that it would bo better under stood before any general movement Vins made to lessen tho bourn of labor, In tho mining regions n refusal by tho com panies to concede tho demand or nn olght hour day will nut result In strikes. At a mam moth meeting of miners In Wllko.sbnrro. n few days ago. In favor of tho night-hour movement. It was decided that. If the operators nro dis posed to doubt tho wisdom nf tho movomont, tho demand will bo withdrawn until further ef forts can bn inado to provo tho justico of the roqucst. No serious difficulties will occur In thu nuturaulto rogionon acoount of the eight hour agitation.
