SENSATIONAL STORY. , The Startling Confessions of Thomas Owns, Formerly a Chicago Carpenter. THOMAS OWENS, a carpenter, fell from a building at Homestead, near Pittsburgh, Pa., and had his neck broken. After his death it was developed that he came from Chicago, and was an anarchist of the most rabid character. He told a fellow-workman that he had thrown a bomb at the Hay- market riot, and in his truuk were found letters that in a measure corroborated his stories. A Chicago dispatch snys in refer­ ence to Owens'alleged confession: The police unhesitatingly pronounce the story a "fake"--in otlier words, the unreliable crea­ tion of an imaginative brain. John Bonfleld, Inspector of Police, when shown the dispatch called it nonsense. "The way sensational tele­ grams are being sent to this city from Pitts­ burgh," be said, "would lead an unsophisti­ cated person to thiak that all cf Chicago s au- archists had emigrated to the smoky city. This story, like all the others concerning the anarchists which come from Pittsburgh, does not require much wit to disprove. * Chief of Police Ebersold said that the story on its face was but a sensational creation and did not deserve a second thought. Michael Schwab, the condemned anarchist, came as near laugh­ ing at the story as it is possible for a man to come with the rope dandling before his eyes. "The story is utterly improbable," said he. "The statement that Owens, before he wout io Pittsburg, was a partner of Scbnaubelt is untrue. The young man who was the allegea boinb- thrower's friend and intimate acquaintance is a young mechanic who never attended a meeting or had anything in common with Scnnaubelt'a views. He is still in Chicago. I know of no such person as Owens." "It's absurd." was Parsons' sententious comment on the Owens "confession," and then he promptly walked away to avoid an interview. WJLD BEASTS AT LIBERTY. A Tiger, Lions, and Other Animals Let Loose •t St Louis by a Railway Collision. ONE of the most exciting scenes that ever occurred in St. Louis, or perhaps any other city, took place at the Union Depot tho other day, and for a time created not only a tremendous excitement, but the wildest kind of a scare among the people present. A train bearing John hobinson's circus and menagerie was wrecked at the depot, and a Bengal tiger, two lions, a leoptfril, a jaguar, an ibex, and'a vulture escaped. The wildest kind of a commotion followed. Depot officials and policemen ran frantically about shouting warnings, and there was a general and quick stampede from the yards to the streets beyond. The circus and depot men then inadn search for the animals. The leopard wus fou: a crouched under a freight cur, and an attmps was made to laeso him, but it tailed, and the animal rushed from cover, bit a man severely in the leg on his way out, bounded into the ticket office, and then jumped through a tran­ som into the Superintendent's otlice He Was besieged by the circus men, and after several attempts to capture him and two or three shuts being fired at him, he was covered with a tar- paulin mod secured. The other animals were captured in the same manner. AWFUL JTR AGEDY. Charles Brownfield, of Louisville, Ky., Kills His Wife, Child, and Brother-in-law, and Then Hangs Himself. AT Louisville, Ky., Charles B. Brown- field, a dissipated character, cut the throats of his wife, his 10-year-old daughter, and his brother-in-law, William F. Bruner, and then hanged himself. He left a'note stat­ ing that he was tired of life owing to his propensity for gambling; that he did not want his wife and child to be left penni­ less; and that he killed Bruner because he didn't think he was fit to live. Brownfield was 27 years old and a son of 'Squire (Jeo. H. Brownfield. He was a drummer for the shoe house of Ingalls & Beck, and was al­ ways known as a sober, industrious yoong w«n IT WAS A SILLY HOAX. The Sending of the Alleged Bomb to Chief Justice Waite a Contemptible Ruse. WASHINGTON dispatches state that the* •ending of the bomb to the honse of Chief Justice Waite was a hoax. It was the work of a young man by the name of .Sherborne 6. Hopkins, who makes a precarious living by selling Eeneational news to the corre­ spondents. Hopkins has made a confes­ sion that the whole scheme was invented by himself and Arthur D. Sperry, a re­ porter on a local paper, for the purpose of selling the story to the newspapers. Hop­ kins, in his confession, said the small vial which was found in the package contained only ink and a very small quantity of pow­ der, just safikaeat to burst the 'phial and •lam the persoa who might open the pack- •®e- A Hew fork Anarchist's Threat. Is a speech at a meeting of the Pro­ gressive Labor party at New York, S. E. Shevitch, editor of the Leader, said that if the condemned men in Chicago were executed, "something, thousands of times worse than the late civil war, would fol­ low," and that persons concerned in the "outrageous murder will hare to answer for .the blood they shed by every spark of life in their worthless bodies." Ling? is Stubborn. A CHICAGO dispatch of Satiuda^ssays: "Louis Lingg is the only one^Df the'Con­ demned anarchists who stands in the way of the final preparation of the formal peti­ tion for a commutation of the sentence. The friends of the men are bringing every Influence possible to bear upon Lingg, who is still as defiant and obstinate us he was the day that the police first placed him in custody." Sparks from the Wires. WESTEB* UNION'S capital stock has been increased $5,000,000, raising the total to $«6,200,000. AN ass gnment has been made by John Harney and J. B. Mo Question, proprietors of woolen mills at Mespeler, Ont. Their liabilities are placed at $200,000. EAST. A NEW HAVEN dispatch says that John Hodel, a silk-weaver living at Hebron, Conn., shot his wife and then set fire to the house. Two children were bnrned to death. Hodel fled, but is now nnder arrest. He had been on a spree for about a week, and when himself was a quiet, good-na­ tured fellow, but drink made him crazy. DAVID SCOTT, of the firm of Vernon Bros. &, Co., paper dealers of New York, is missing. Scott issued the firm's indorse­ ment to the extent of $60,000, and besides that he has ont notes of his own to an un­ known amount. A SYNDICATE of New York and Phila­ delphia capitalists have secured control of the New York Graphic, and the paper will continue to be independent Democratic in tone. CoL Frank A. Burr, of the Phila- ds^pfaia Times, will be the editor. WEST. "BAT" SHEA, a desperate Chicago criminal, who was serving-a twenty years' sentence at Joliet, choked himself to death by placing his neck in a loop made by Singing his suspenders from his bedstead end letting the weight of his body rest thereon. A ST. LOUIS dispatch givs particulars of a teiritde explosion by wnich eight or nine person* were instantly hurled, into eternity tnd a number of others maimed and shockingly mangled: AN explosion of gasoline In the rear of the cellar of Michael i^ewuiaii's grocery store, 13 Kouth Fourteenth street, lifted the two-story bulling from its foundation and dropped it back again in a mass, beneath which were buried sixteen persons. Th.j messenger of deuth Iuid scarcely wreckcd the place before a devastating li>e swept through the ruins and seemed bent on infernal work. Human aid was auk'Uy on the s.«ue, but in stcb confusion tat the horror seemed to increase with tiieir efforts to relieve tin imprisoned victims Mr. Newman and his fam­ ily of seven " lived over the store. Tuo foi-oo of the explosion was terrific, and the rut ire block of buildings north of and across th'-uiluk- f oni the building in which the ex­ ploit mi took pluce were gutted by the blast. Tiie Newman block, crushed in, * as covered by the roof, which had s tt:od down upon the ruins and formed a barrier, through whieh the res.tiers had to cut a way. This impeded progress and threatening walls on either Shie overhung roady to crush the gallant ni n who pressed to the spot where calls for help dirocted them. The roof was soon removed and in the debris were rev ealod the mangled forms of the grocery- man's family. Five erf them were dead. Soiue sat upright, and others were doubled in their beds, Life had evidently fled while they were wrapped in slumber. In the sauie building, over etoivr mm No. 9. lived Chas. l>evere, a traveling salesmui. and his wife. Visiting them was Miss Hattie Fir.ant, of Columbus. Ky. She was badly injured, but miraculously es­ caped death--the only person who passed through the horrible ordeal and lives to tell the Btorv of escape. When finally tho work of rescue was accomplished It was found that the number of dead was eight, as follows: Michael Newman. Mrs. Annie Newman, John Newman, Kate Newman, Kidie Newman, Charles lle- vere, Mrs. Ch*rles l>e»ere. Mrs Agnes Berzely. Three were wounded seriously, as follows: Nellie Newman; may recover. Miss Hattie Bryant; will probably tecover. Mamie New­ man ; recovery impossible. THE jury sitting on the body of "Bill," the fireman of the ill-starred propeller Vernon, found dead on a raft in Lake Michigan, recommended that the inspector who had last inspected the life-preservers of the wrecked steamer be arrested and held for trial. The preservers were stuffed with sea rushes, and not fit for the work required of them. Many of the bodies of the victims of Ihe wreck are coming ashore near the scene of the disaster. Nineteen were brought into Two Rivera. Wis., on Thurs­ day. One of them was identified as that of the captain, and another as that of E. R. Botand, a traveling salesman for a .» il- wankee firm. AT a railway crossing at Steubenville, Ohio, Miss Hattie Turner was fatally in­ jured, and her escort, John G. Beatty, in­ stantly killed. MISS SALLIE HOPKINS, of Springfield, Mo., knelt in a boat, fastened *a short rope around her neek, and pulled on it until she choked to death. LEADING stove manufacturers of the United States have been in conference at Cleveland, Ohio. One of the delegates said the market \ras fully supplied, and thatpriceB were quite low. Gas was the fuel of the future, and the meeting Jiad been called to perfect stoves and grates for its use. EXPLORATION of the ruins of the build­ ings wrecked by the recent explosions at St. Louis indicates that they were not caused by gas or oil. A clew to the iden­ tity of the conspirators may be obtained. NEAB Grand Junction, CoL, a number of masked men stopped a Denver and Rio Grande express tiaij, compelled the em­ ployes to leave their positions, and then entered the coaches and robbed the passen­ gers. They failed, however, in their at­ tempt to rifle the express safe, but cut the mail pouches and carried off the contents of the registered packages. Alter holding the train over an hour the bandits, with their plunder, fled to the mountains.. WASHINGTON: Ix his annual report, Commodore D. P. Harmony, Chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks, earnestly recommends the strengthening of our naval stations. ' As THEBB is no money with which to pay for the expense of the necessary sur­ reys and examinations, the action of Con­ gress last session for the distribution of lands in severalty to Indians cannot now be carried into efftct WHILE Chief Justice Waite was at din­ ner Thursday evening, says a Washington telegram, a messenger from the postoffice delivered to him a box containing what is supposed to be an infernal machine sent by some sympathizer of the Chicago an­ archists. The box was about nine inches long, four inches wide, and two inches deep, and weighed only a few ounces; It was wrapped in brown paper and bore a special-delivery stamp. It was dropped into the postoffiee a few minutes be lore 6 o'clock, and was sent at once by messenger to the residence of the Chief Justice, where it was received and receipted for by a servant. After din­ ner the Chief Justice took the package to his library and discovered its chaiacter. Judge Waite admitted that he had received a mysterious package, but declined to; dis­ close its contents or say whether it con­ tained explosives or was intended to de­ stroy his life. He declined to say anything whatever about it. There have never been any anarchists in Washington, so far as is known,, although they may have been at­ tracted here by the case in the Supreme THE great dramatic attraction of the son in London has closed.

A DISPATCH from Chicago of Friday, the 4th inst., says: "August Spies, Samuel Fieldcn, and Michael Schwab signed peti­ tions yesterday afternoon humbly begging the Governor to commute their sentences. It is considered certain that Parsons and the rest of them will sign the petition to-day, and those very near to Governor Oglesby confidently assert that the sentence of Parsons, Fielden, and Schwab will be commuted to imprisonment for life. Spies, Lingg, Engel, and Fischer will hang. Spies, Fielden, and Schwab are the only ones who have not written open letters to the Governor that they would not accept a commutation of their sentences and that all efforts in that direction were without their sanction." * DH. W. M. SALTER, President of the Ethical Culture Society, says a Chicago dispatch of Friday, has drawn up a peti­ tion for executive clemency, to which, as he states it, he only wishes the signatures of influential and cool-headed citizens. It is Vfry short, the recital being to the effect that the signers believe justice con be best served by commuting the sentences of the • condemned men, etc. He has already ob­ tained about twenty signatures, among which are those of Judge Tuley, ex-Judge Booth, Julius Rosenfeldt, and Alderman Manierre. GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN, immediately on receiving the ne'ws of the Supreme Court decision, rushed off to a telegraph office in Omaha and sent the following dis­ patch: Citizen Edward Devinfc;"*15dltor Western Newt- man, Chicago: Leave Cock-Roc he- Vllle to Cock-Roche, and join me at Toronto. Expatriation forever. GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN. "There, that settles it. I'm off for Can­ ada, where there is free speech and free press. No more Omaha; I'm off. Good- by, America!" were the last words deliver­ ed by Train. "WE are ready for any emergency that may arise," said Capt, Schaock, of the Chicago police, to a reporter. "We have taken every precaution that we deem pos­ sible. I am not apprehensive of any riot or forcible demonstration by the friends of the condemned men, but I think it always well to be prepared. Of course I have h^ ird many threats against life and prop­ el tv, but I find that many of them are un­ worthy of notice." BUSINESS at the various Chioago gun stores has been brisk during the last few days, says a special from that city. The purchasers of revolvers are generally well- dressed business men. DEATH OF JENNY LIND. JENNY LIND GOLDSCHMIDT, the cele­ brated Swedish singer, passed away quietly at her home near London on the 2d of No­ vember. She was bom in Stockholm, Sweden, Oct. 6, 1821. From infancy she showed a remarkable talent for singing, and at 9 years of age was given admission to a musical academy. She made such progress that in a year she was deemed fitted for the stage, on which she made her appearance in juvenile parts at­ tracting considerable attention by her dramatic talents as well as by her vocal accomplishments* At 16 she had become the reigning prima donna of the Stockholm opera. In 1K4Q she went to Paris and re­ ceived instruction from Garcia, the first singing-master of Europe. In 1844 she first appeared before an audience outside her native city in Berlin. From this time her reputatien grew with each perform­ ance, and she was received with en­ thusiasm at all the leading musical cities of Europe. She made her first appearance in London in 1847, and in Sep­ tember, 1850, was brought to the United States by P. T. Barnum, and was every­ where received with the wildest enthusi­ asm. In 1852 she was married in Boston to Otto Goldschmidt, a young pianist who accompanied her- Since her marriage she has refused all offers to appear on the stage, only singing occasionally in con­ certs. She resided in Germany until 1858, when she removed to England, where she has since lived. IN the settlement of the Rock Springs indemnity matter the Chinese government received more than its due, owing to the fact that six claims were duplicated, and the Chinese Minister at Washington has returned to this government the money that was paid in Excess of the just amount.

Trfs shut-down of oil wells, manipu­ lated by the Producers' Protective Associ­ ation and the Standard Oil Company, has gone into effect, and, it is alleged, is to continue eighteen months. Standard Oil is to divide the profits of 5,000,000 barrels of oil at (52 cents among the syndic ite who shall live up to the contract, and 2,000,000 barrels are to be set aside to create a wage fund for the laboring mem thrown ont of employment. ^ IN his annual report the Governor of Alaska puts the value of the taxable prop­ erty of the Territory at $10,000,000.

"FOREIGKT" ThE appeal of Mr. William O'Brien, ed­ itor of •United, Ireland, against the sentence of three months' imprisonment imposed on him by the Mitchellstown court, has been refused, and the sentenoe pf the lower court confirmed. Says a Dublin dispatch: The charge of which Mr. O'Brien was con­ victed was using seditious language under the crimes act at a National league meeting at Mitchellstown. A moat exciting scene ensued WHEAT NOL 1 Had-- in the court-room when the decision confirming COBN--No 2 the sentence was announced. The room was OATH No t immediately in an uproar, and the people -- clustered about Mr. O'Brien to pre­ vent the law officers from arreating hiui. Mr. Harrington contended that the I>olice had no right to arrest Mr O'Brien. A terrible struggle took place in the court-room and in the passage leading to the street be­ tween Mr. O'lJrien and his friends on one Bide and the police on the other. Ladies screamed and fainted and the confusion was general. The police finally succeeded in arresting Mr. O'Brien. The people remained in the street outside the court, clamoring for tho rescue of Mr, O'Brien and vengeance upon the police.

The Supreme Court of the United States yesterday denied the motion for a writ of error In the anarchist cases. The decision was delivered by Chief Justice Waite and was that of the full bench. It occupied thirty-sovon minutes in rupid reading. When the justices entered tho room 'Justice* Miller and Waito sighed deeply a number of times, and the voice of the latter trembled for somo minutes alter he began reading. At times he repeatmlly faltered, and, going back, re- road whole sentences. The faces of the other seven Justices w«re turned to the floor ^uring nearly the entire time ot the delivery. Oc­ casionally Justice Waite took his eyes from the paper, looked the audience ill tho face, and gave emphasis to points In the decision which marked the outline of his intentions and showed whut had cuided the benoh in reaching its con­ clusion. Following Is the text of the opinion: When, as in this case, application is made to ns on tho suggestion of one of cur number to whom a similur application has been previously addressed for the allowanoe of a writ of error to tho highest c. urt of a htato, under Section 7J9 of the Kevisud Statutes, it is our duty to ascer­ tain not only whether any question reviewable hero was made ai d decided in the proper court below, but whether it is of a oharacter to jus­ tify the bringing the jwlgment here for re-ex- amiuation. In our opinion the writ ought not to be allowed by the court if it appears from the face of the record that the decision of the Federal ques­ tion which is complained of was so plainly right as not to require argument; and espe­ cially if it is in acoordance with our own well- oonsidered judgments in similar cases. That is in effect what was done in Twltohell vs. The Commonwealth, 7 Wall, 3i'3, when the writ was refused because the questions presented by tho reoord were "no longer subjects of discussion," although if they had been in the opinion of the court "open" it would have keen allowed. When under Section 5 of our Kulo 6 a motion to affirm is united with a motion to dismiss, for want of jurisdiction, the practice has been to grant the motion to athrm when the question on whioh our jurisdiction depends was so manifestly de­ cided right that the case ought not to be held for further argument. Arrowsmith vs. Har- moning, 118 United States, Idl, l'JJ ; Churoh vs. Kelsey, li!l United States, 282. The propriety of adopting a similar rule upon motions in open court tor the allowance of a writ IS apparent, for certainly we would not tie justi­ fied as a court in sending out a writ to bring up for review a judgment of the highest court of a State, when it is apparent c n the face of the reo­ ord that it would be our duty to grant a motion to affirm as soon as it was made in proper form. In the proaent case we have had the benefit of argument in support of tho application, and, while counsel have not deemed it their duty to go fully into the merits of the questions'in­ volved, they have shown us distinctly what the decisions were of which they complain, and how the questions arose. In this way we are able to determine, as a court in session, whether the errors alleged are such SB to justify us in bringing tho case here for review. We proceed, then, to consider what the ques­ tions are in which, if it exists at all, our juris­ diction depends. The piu*ticnlar provisions of the Constitution of the United States on whieh counsel rely^are found in Arts. IV., V., VI., and XIV. of flie amendments, as follows: Art. IV. The riehtof the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable search and seixures shall not be violated. Art. V. No person . . . shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or prop­ erty without due process of law. Art. VI. In all criminal prosecutions the ac­ cused shall enjoy tho right to a speedy and pub­ lic trial by an impartial jury of the Stale uid district wherein the crime shall have been com­ mitted, which district shall have been previ­ ously ascertained by law. Art XIV., Sec. 1. No State shall make or en­ force any law which shall abridge tho privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any fttate deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. That the firBt ten articles of amendment were not intended to limit the powers of the State governments in respect to their own citizens, but to opAate on the National Government alone, was dd^Aed mofe than a hnlf century ago, and that decision has been steadily adhered to since. Barron vs. Baltimore, 7 Peters, 343, 247; Livingston vs. Moore, idem., 4<iSJ, 6.r>2; Fox vs. Ohio, 5 How, 410, 434 ; Smith vs. Maryland, 18 How, 71, 76; Withers vs. Buckley, 30 How, 84, 91; Porvoar vs. Tho Commonwealth, 5 Wall, 475, 4'.9; Twitcheli vs. The Commonwealth, 7 How, 321, 325 ; Justices vs. Murray, 9 Wall, 274. 278; Edwards vs. Elliott, 21 Wall, 5:i2, 657; Walker vs. Sanvinet, 1W United States, 9J; United States vs. Cruikshank, 9*2 United States, 542, 553; Pearson vs. Yewdall, 95 United States, 234, 296; Davidson vs. New Orleans, 9i United States, 97, 101; Kelly vs. Pittsburg, 104 United States, 79; Prosser vs. Illinois, 116 United States, 252, % S. It was contended, however, in argument that though originally the firBt ten amendments wero adopted ah limitations on Federal power, yet tn so far as they secure and recognize fundamentbl rights, common law lights of the man, they make them privileges and immunities of the man as a citizen of the United States, and Can not now be abridged by a State under the four­ teenth amendment. In other words, while the ten amendments as limitations on power only apply to the Federal Government, and not to the States, yet in so far as they declare or recognize rights of per­ sons, these rights are theirs as citizens of the United States, and the fourteenth aineaAment as to such rights limits State power, as tne ten amendments hnd limited Federal power. It is also contended that the provibtoua of the fourteenth amendment, whioh declares that no State shall deprive "any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law," imply that every person charged with orime in a State shall be entitled to a trial by an impartial jury, and shall not be compelled to tenlfy, against himself. Tho objections are in brief. (!) That a statute of this State as construed by tho court deprived tho petitioners of A trial by -an impar­ tial jury, and (2) that Spirs was compelled to give evidence against himself. Before consid­ ering whether the Constitution of the United States has the effect whieh is claimed, it iB proper to inquire whether the Federal ques- ' lions relied on in fact arise on the face of this record. THI'. QT-KSTION ©N THE ILLINOIS STATUTE. One statute to which objection is made was approved March 12, 1874, and has been in force since Ju?y 1 of that year. Tlio complaint is that the trial court, acting under this statute and in acoordance with its requirements, compelled the p tit loners, against their will, to submit to a trial by a jury that was not impartial, ahd thus deprived them of one of the fundamental rights which they had as citizens of the United States under the National Constitution; and that if the eontence of the court is carried into execution they will be deprived of their lives "without duo process of law." In Hopt Vs. Utah, 120 United States, 439, it was decided by this court that where a challenge by a defend­ ant in a criminal action to a juror for bias, actual or implied, is disallowed, and the juror is thereupon peremptorily challenged by the defendant and excused, and an impartial and competent juror is obtained in his place, no in- Jury is done the defendant if, until the jury is completed, he has other peremptory challenges Which ho can use; and so in Hayes vs. Missouri, 120 United StateH, 71, it was said, "The right to Challenge is the right to reject, not to select, a juror. If from tfttose who remain an impar­ tial jury is obtained the constitutional right of the accused is maintained." Of the correct­ ness of these rulings we entertain 110 doubt. We are therefore confined in this case to the rulings on tho challenges to the jurors who actaially sat at the trial, Of these there were but two--Theodore Denier, the third juror who was sworn, and H. T Snnford, (he last who was called and sworn after all tho peremptory challongcs of the defendants had been ex­ hausted. At the trial the court eonstruod the statute to mean that "although a juror called as a juryman may have formed an opinion based UJK)II rumor or upon newspaper state­ ment, but has expressed no opinion as to tho truth of tho newspaper statement, he is still qualified as a juror if he states that he can fairly and impartially render a verdict thereon in accordance with the law and the evidence, and the Court shall be satisfied of the truth of suoh statement. It is not a test question whether a juror will have the opinion which he has foimed from newspapers changed by the evidence, but whether his verdict will be based only upon tho account which may here be given by witnesses under oath. Interpreted in this way tire statute is not ma­ terially different from that of the Territory of Utah, whioh we had under consideration in Hopt vs. ^Utah Supra, and to which we then gave effect. As tti*t£was a Territorial statute passed by a Territorial Legislature for the gov­ ernment of a Territory over which the Unif d States has exclusive jurisdiction, it came di­ rectly within the operation of Article 6 of the amendments, which guaranteed to Hopt a trial by impartial jury Webster vs. Keid, 11; How­ ard, 437, 430, No one at that time suggested a donbtof the constitutionality of the statute, and it was regarded, both in the Territorial oonrts and here, as furnishing the proper role to be observed by a Territorial court In Impan­ eling an impartial jury in a criminal oase. A similar statute was enac ed in New York May 8, 18*J. 1 Acts of 1872, O 475. 9 New York 8te*e-at-large, second edition, 373; in Michigan, April 18, 1873. acts of 1873, liM, act 117, Howell; statute of 9 564, and also in Nebraska, compiled statutes of Nebraska, 1886. p. 88S, and Criminal Code of Nebraska 408.1 The constitutionality of the statute of New York was sustained by the .x>urt of Appeals of that State in Stokes vs. the ' eople, 63 New York, 164 to 172, deoided June -0, 1873. and it hae been acted upon without ob to dfsoover no douot has ever oeen ontertained In Michigan or Nebraska of the constitutionality of the statutes of those States respectively, but they have always been ttaated by their Su­ preme Courts as vslid, both under the Constitu­ tion *>f the United States and nnder that of the State. 1 Stephens vs. the People, 88 Michigan, Indeed, the rule of the statute of Illinois, ai i by the trial court, if not ma teriaftr dftbrent fi«lta that whioh has been Weoster, 5 Gushing, 293; Holt vs. the people, 13 Michigan, 224; State vs. Fox, 1 Dutcher, 5t>6; Ostrander vs. the Commonwealth, 3 Leigh, 780; State vs. BUington; 7 Wendell, 01; Smith vs. Games, S Beam, 81. See also an elaborate note to this last ease in no A. M. dec. 521, where a very large number of authorities on this sec­ tion are cited.] Without pursuing this suhject further it is sufficient to say that we agree < tirely With ttto Supreme Court of Illinois in 1 opinion that the statute on its face as construed by the trial court is not repugnant to Section 9 of Article 2 of the constitution of that State, which guarantees to the aocused party in every criminiu prosecution a speedy trial by an im- Sartial jury of the county or district in which le offense is alleged to have been committed. As this is substantially the provision of the Constitution of the United States, on which the petitioners now rely, it follows that even if their poeition as to the operation and effect of that Constitution is correct the statute is not open to the objection which is made against it. THE CHAU.BNOED JURORS. We proceed then to the consideration of the grounds of challenge to the jurors. Denker and Sanford, to see if, Tn the actual administration of the rule Ot • the statute by the court, the rights of these defendants under the Constitu­ tion of the United States were in any way im­ paired. [The court then gives extracts TTrom the exam­ ination of Deaker by the defense, and says that he was challenged for cause by the defendants, but before any decision was made ther< on he was questioned by the court, and the court's ex­ amination is appended. "The court," it contin­ ues, "thereupon overruled the challenge, but b» fore the juror was accepted and swornhe was further exapuiued by counsel for tLe defend­ ants." {This examination is also reprinted from the record.) The court then says that the ex­ amination of tho juror by counsel for the de­ fendants CiO&ed and he was examined by the attornsfy for the Ktute, and citations are given from the questions and answers in this exam­ ination. The opinion continues:] At the close of the examination neither party challenged the juror poremptorily, and he was accepted and sworn. When this occurred it was not denied the defendants were still entitled to 143 peremptory challenges, or about that num­ ber. When Juror Sapford was called he was first examined by oounsel for the defendants. (The examination is here quoted.) At the close of this examination on tne part of the defendants the juror was challenged on their behalf for cause, and the attorney for the State, after it was as­ certained that all the peremptory challenges of the defendants had been exhausted, took up the examination of the juror. (The result of this examination is givon, as is the ruling of the court denying the challenge to over­ rule for cause, and stating that as the peremp­ tory challenges of the defense are exhausted Sanford is a iuror to try the case, so far as the defendants are concerned). This was accepted by both parties, the court says, as a true state­ ment of the then condition of the case, and after some further examination of the juror, which elicited nothing of importance in con­ nection with the inquiry, no peremptory chal­ lenge having been imposed by the State, San­ ford was sworn as a juror, and tho panel was thus complete. . This, so far aB we have-been advised, pre­ sents all there is in the record which this court can consider touching the challenge of these two jurors by the defaudants for cause. In Reynolds vs. the United States. 98 U. 8., 145 to 150, it was docided by tl is court that fn order to justify the reversal of the judgment of the Supreme Court of tho Territory of Utah for refusing to allow a challenge to a juror in a criminal case on the ground that ho had formed and expressed an opinion as to the is­ sues to bo tried, it must be made clearly to ap­ pear that upon the evidence the court ought to have found tho juror had formed such an opinion that he could not in law be deemed impartial. Tiie case must be one In whioh it is manliest the law left ubthing to tho conscience c r discretion of tho court. If such is the degree of str ctuess which is required in the ordinary oases of writs from one court to another in the samo general jurisdiction, we ought to be careful that it i* not at all relaxed in a caso like this when tho ground relied on for the reversal by this court of a judgmontof the highest conrt of the Stato is , that the error complained of is so great as to amount to a denial by the State of a trial by an impartial jury to one who is accused of crime. We are unhesitatingly of the opinion that no such case is diacloocd bv this record. We come now to consider the objection that the defendant Spies was compelled by the court to be a witness against himself. He voluntarily offered himself a witness in his own behalf, and by so doing he became bound to submit himself to a proper cross-examination. The complaint is that he was required on cross-ex­ amination to state whether he had received a certain letter which w^ shown, purporting to havo been written by Johann Most, and addressed to him, and upon Jiis saying that- be had, the court allowed the letter to be read in evidence against him This, it is claimed, was not proper cross-exami­ nation. It is not contended that the subjeot to which tho cross-examination related was not portinent to the issue to be tried, and whether a cross-examination must be confined to matters pertinent to tho testimony in chief, or may bo extended to the matter in issue, is certainly a question of -State law in the courts of the Stato and not tho Federal law. Something has been said in argument about an alleged unreasonable search and seizure of tho papers and property of somo of tho 4eXend- ante, and their uio in evidence on the trial of tho case. Special reference is made in this< con­ nection to the letter of Most, about which Spies was croBs-exain.ned, but we have not been re­ ferred tp any part of the record in which It ap­ pears that objection was made to the use of tho evidence on that account, and upon this point the .Supreme Court of tho State in that part of its opinion which has been printed with this motion remarks as follows; "The objection that the letter Was obtained from the defendant by an unlawful sclzuri is niado for tho first tima in. this Qourt. It was not made on the trial in the Court below. Such an objection as this, which is not sug­ gested by the nature of the offered evidence, but depends upon, the proof of an outside fact, should have been made on the trial. The defense should have proved that the Most letter was one of the letters illegally seized by the police, and should tben have moved to exclude, or op­ posed its admission, on the ground that "it was obtained by idcl| illegal seizure. Tti|s was nOt done, and, tmtrefore, we cannot consider the o(|j|fatuUo»yl jfrcstion, |o ^n- AT CHICAGO. > * ^ V¥ i. - --i-' • £• /'. : How the Prisoners Received the Newq-- folic* Precautions. CHICAGO, NOV. 3, When the news came from Washington that the Supreme Court had refused the writ of error and made public its decision, to say that the heart of every man around the jail jumped up into his throat almost tells the truth. Clerk Price actually turned pale and Jailer Folz talked with excitement. It is'understood that everything rests on thftt decision, and it ' was waited for with aa much dread almost as though each man himself was interested. The information was hastily written on a slip of papor, and Chief Clerk Price himself too-i the notes up to Suies and Parsons to see what they would say. Their faces might AB well have been stone for all the feeling thoy betrayed. *.ot a shiver, a shrug of the shoulders, nor any act that looked as if it made any difference to them whether the Supreme Court decided they should hang or not. When Clerk Price broke the news to Parsons tho latter was as impassive as a marble statue. Not a muscle moved, and if hi* heart stibod still an Instant no one could tell it. I'u ting hi* cigar between his lips, he picked up a newspepjr and slowly remarked : "Wall, 1 don't thinK I have anything to say." "Will you answer the note?" "No, I.believe not." "Do you believe ity" "It may bo true." Spies' conduct was Parsons' over again. Mr. Osborne, who keeps the death-watch in murderers' row, was then prevailed upon to go to the dell of each anarchist and tell him the decision Of the Supreme Court. When the white-haired officer camo down ho was trem­ bling with emotion and his voice was choked. "I don't want to do that again," stammered he. "Every time I spoke to one of those fellows I thought I was giving him his death sentenoe, while each one turned and looked at me as un­ concerned as if I was telling him nothina-of any importance. Lingg said he oxpoctod it. Fischer said, 'Is that so v and the rest merely grunted their acknowledgment. It did seem as if afluBh spread over their faces when I told theui, but perhaps I imagined it. Keen one turned to whatever be was doing and I passed cn to the next. Just tee how I tremble, while they MS as cool as cucumbers." The first visitor to arrive at the jail after the news became public was Mrs. Engel, v<bo never falls to call twice every day to see her husband. She remained in the jail office for about ten minutes awaiting the appearance of hex hus­ band. She was, indeed, an object of p.t>. Llngg's girl was iim next to arrive. She eried continually. Lingg, .011 the other hand, w%s the bappiost man in the prison. He wore his usif*l flaming red necktie, acd laughed and chatted with his visitor, who replied to his sallies with tears in her eyes. Just before Spies'cell was unlocked to release him for a brief nour and a half be coolly lighted a cigai, and as he stepped from his cell to the floor below looked the picture of a contented gentleman going out for a stroll. He never held his head higher nor smiled more benevolently. In the cage stood the aged and sorrowing mother of Spies, accompanied by his two broth­ ers, Ferdinand and Henry. Mrs. Spies was dressed in deep mourning, and was scarcely able to support herself in her grief. Mrs. Schwab talked long and earnestly witH her husband. Hor face woe flushed with ex­ citement, and to nit attempts at a conversation by the other visitors she turned a deaf ear. Mrs. ParsooB brought her two children with her, and they were allowed to go behind the bars and play with their father. Parsons is far from overawed at his approaching fa'e. On be­ ing as ed how he felt he replied: "I feel pretty much as did my ancestor Jonathan Parsons, who served in the good caqse of 1/76. H.e was the original of the term 'Brother Jonathan,' ,-- ,and was a likely man in his day. 'An elder, by ection ever since. So far as we have been I 'the Way." Ana without farther explanation he turned on his hesl, took another whiff at his cigar, and walked off. Nina Van Zandt was the last of the prisoners' friends who oams to the jail in the afternoon. She remained far about fifteen minutes, and then turned to Sheriff Matson. % "It looks very bad for August," she said, "and I really don't know what to think. This is fear­ ful, isnt it?" Outside the jail the preparations for prevent­ ing any kind of attacks were noticed cn every hand. Immediately on receipt of the news from •Jl*uu.0< P°lh»<urri*ed /rom tbj, Central Station and were distributed about the building and its approaobes. Capt. Schaack arrived early in the afternoon and renewed his orders for vigilance on the part of his men The officers have little fear of any attempt at violenoe from outside sources. The only preparation for the hanging that has been made by the Sheriff was to give an order for rope. Within two hours ot the receipt of the news from Washington an order coins from the Grand Jury in session ordering the Jailer to re­ lease eleven prisoners who were confined on various charges. It is understood that several discharges will be made each day. Only ag­ gravated oases will be held for trial. It i's de­ sirable that there be as few prisoners as possi­ ble on Nov. II. It is also quite probable that a number of prisoners will be taken to the police stations for safe-keeping until after the execu­ tion. Captain Schaack very naturally believes that should there be any organised demonstration 6f the anarchists ont of iail tho threat often expressed of setting fire to the town would be the first plan carried out, and this would in­ clude tho demolition of the water-works by dynamite. As a precaution, he has stationed in the water-works building a strong guard, armed with Winchester rifles and revolvers. - ELSEWHERE. 1 Mow York and 8t.

Said one of them: "There are fully H HOO or 10,000 recently enrolled into a new order called Anarchists' Avengers' Society, sworn to butcher any one concerned in the murder of any of our numbers. It's a new order, but its influenco will soon bo known." The news of the decision was received with ter­ rible threats. They immediately called a meet­ ing to express hatred for the Government and the existing ordar of things. The editor of the anarchist organ said: "If these men are al­ lowed to hang there will be an outbreak in Chi­ cago that tho authorities will be powerless to quell, and that will result in bloodshed and damano to property.

Speaking of the recent landslips at Speringer, the London Standard savB: Many of the Swiss villages exist almost on sufferance; the avalanche of snow, or the avalanche of earth, may at any time sweep them awav, or, what is equally as ruinous, overwnelm them with the debris of the mountain at the foot of or on which they are built. In not a few instances, the landslip is so slow in its progress, that it is only a ques­ tion of time when the final catastrophe will be precipitated. At Bee Kouge, in the Tiiwntaise, for example, the side of the mountain is gradually overwhelming the village of Miroir. In most cases, however, the calamity is sudden and unexpected. Suoh an instance is sup­ plied in the fall of Hossberg, a weUr known mountain 5,000 feet high, situ­ ated behind the better known and loftier Kigi. In 180G, after a very rainy season, a large portion of the mountains, consisting of beds of hard sandstone and pudding stone, resting on soft sandy layers, suddenly swept across the valley of Goidau, burying four villages, comprising over <300 houses, nearly 500 inhabitants and more than eighty square miles of fer­ tile land. In lc55 a mass of debris slid into the valley of the Tiber, which, dammed back by the obstruction, over­ flowed the city of St. Stefano to the depth of lift/ feet, until the drowning village was relieved by means of a hastily constructed canal. Another example of a disastrous landslip is that in which, by the sliding of a portion of Monte Como, the entire village of Plurs, with 2,430 inhabitants, was, iu 10U!, overwhelmed. For several days before the catastrophe masses of rock had become detached from the mountain, and numerous fissures weto observed to form or widen on its sides. But the villagers disregarded the warn­ ings, and were in a few minutes buried with their possessions beneath sixty feet of rook and earth. AJ1 attempts to penetrate the mass proved fruitless, and no trace of the town has since been seen, 'ihe earth which entombed it is now covered with a luxuriant forest of chestnuts, but the original name sur­ vives in the village of Plurs, or Fluro. It may almost be Baid that these catas­ trophes are so frequent that history preserves the ipemory of only the most disastrous. The Man in the Moon. Say, who is the fellow who sits in the moon, and why does he grin in so fool­ ish a way ? In winter he's smiling as well as in June--what keeps up his spirits so wondrously, pray? Oh, a meiry old fool is the man in the moon, and he sits there and looks at the man full of gin, who Btaggers along like a wavering loon, and he cannot, to save him, refrain from a grin. And anon hb can see from his seat in the moon, a fellow who's reckless and brainless to boot, who sails up a mile in a giant balloon, and sails down again on a big parachute. And again he can smile at the man with a gun, who asks at the desk if the editor's in, who's scraped from the floor when the struggle Is done, and carried away on the point of a p n. There are thousands of jokes for the man in the moon, and he smiles when he sees William H., in despair, imploring his darling to marry him soon--and a year after that when she's pulling hiS hair. If you could go up in a trusty balloon, as far as that orb in her setting of blue, and look down on earth with the man in the moon, you'd likely be grinning as foolishly too. This dizzy old world is a joke from the start, andA there's no use of weeping from morning till noon; it's better to go with a Btntfe in your heart, and try to outsnicker the man in the moon.--- bebraakd State Journal, A Case of Conscience.
