Bra erne• Manufacturers Said to Be Contest- plating a General Shut-Down. 7 The conference between the Bessemer manufacturers of tho country, of ; there are twelve iu number, is e^ _ widespread interest, says a Pittsburg , telegram. It has been definitely and author­ itatively stated that ail the manufacturers, who have been for years working harmoni­ ously together, have decided to order a pen- £1 saspentii >n of wor* and that, while the e Las not beea fixed, it is expected that it will occur on the 1st of December. The cause of this suspension is the unsatisfact­ ory condition of the rail market. Many contracts are expiring, and new ones are being held back in hope of lower pri es. Others are willing to place contracts, but the terms are entirely unsatisfactory. The manufacturers say that prices can not be reduced, owing to the high wages and the tales demanded for ore. The suspension will throw an immense number of men out . of employment, not only in the mills but in the ooke regions of the Pittsburgh •action. * GR2AT GOLD DISCOVERY. Uucovcd Near Prescott the Rich­ est Ever Fonnd in the Country. :>;:.^T«iBOBAFBic reporta from Prescott, " Ju T., are uniform in the statement that an apparently wonderful discovery of a gold ledge has been made on the Hassa- jump a River, ten miles from Prescott. The strike was made on the side of a hill 2(10 feet above the level of the cr?ek. The product of the mine thus far is declared to be the richest ever known on the coast, and has naturally provoked great excitement throughout Arizona. The ledge is twenty inches wide, runs north and south, and can be traced for nearly two miles. Quartz took taken from the ledge is said to aver- $100,000 of gold a ton. . < .

The scene in Hancock for a few m nutes after tbe ex­ plosion was exciting. Walls were violently locked and people poured from the build­ ings in alarm, thinking that the roofs were coming upon them.

It was _ the oc­ casion for a lar^e gathering of their friends and sympathizers, but the event passed off very quietly. Tbe funeral procession that followed the remains to the depot was j managed in strict conformity with the or- | der issued by the Mayor.

All of the Democratic Congress­ men from that State now here have called to see the President in the interest of As­ sistant Comm-ssioner Stockslager, who is in the line of promotion. Since the Presi­ dent has accepted Sparks' resignation, and there is no doubt that he will retire, the scramble for the place will be begun with a rush. It is understood that, as Mr. Stockslager will naturally become the act­ ing Commissioner, .the President will be in no hurry to make an appointment, but will wait till tif changas in ti^a. f' ihiBf t take place. The following is the text of the Presi­ dent's letter to Commissioner Sparks ac­ cepting his resignation: Exxccttvk Maxsiox, > Washington, Nov. 15, 1887. F The Hon. William A. J. Sparks: MI Deab Sib--I have read your letter of t acres ce the cemetery, and the ceremonies at the sepul- cher, the utmost ordor prevailed. The "Mar­ seillaise" was not sung. The red flag was not flaunted. No incendiary speeches werp made. The friends of the dead men buried their dead. The exercises were 6imple, quiet, and solemn, Ihc police were apparently impress­ ed by the silent mourning, and were as dec­ orous toward the friends of the anarchists as if no feel ng between them had ever existed. No expressions of malice or triumph were heard. Everybody seemed in sympathy with tho sor­ rowing friends and relatives of the dead. The throng that followed the remains of the anarchists to the cemetery was almost wholly German in its make-up. At the cemetery fifteen or twenty thousand people had congregated. After the bodies of the dead bad been deposited in the vault four speeches were delivered. Capt. Black and Thos. J. Morgan spoke in English, and Robert Beitsel, of Detroit, and Albert Currlin, of St. Louis, spoke in German. The last mentioned two are rank anarchists, and their remarks were extremely bitter. Both reproached the workiiigtnen for permitting tne death of ;their friends, and Ke:uel concluded with the follow­ ing qcotatiac from Herwegh, familiar to all socialist speakers: *W« have loved long encash: Let us at last hate I' Captain Black's address was aa eloquent and feeling tribute to the dead anarchists. resignation left with me to-day, and also the communication addressed by yon to the Sec­ retary of the Interior, accompanying the same.

The Court of Queen's Bench has quashed tbe verdict of the Coroner's jury in the Mitchelstown shooting affair, on the ground that the inquest was illegal, the jury irregularly impaneled, and the Coro­ ner's conduct partial. reserving it for this purpose. From the character of the crowds that congregate in the old-time haunts of the anarchists and from the tone of their conversation any one not thoroughly posted w$»uld be led to sup­ pose that the entire b oodof anarchistB had suddenly become extiuct. The Sunday parade was a revelation. There were scores and hundreds of anarch'sts in that parade who have not shown themselves upon the Btreets or in public places since the night of the Haymarket riot. There is every reason to believe that several of the old- time groups have been- leorganized.

His assist­ ant editor, Julian Schnltz, accompanied the officers and their prisoner to the Dis­ trict Attorney's office. Most protested to the District Attorney that he had done nothing to warrant his indictment, and swore that he was being persecuted by the minions of the law, hounded on by the hirelings of a capitalistic press, but his ravings were not listened to, and he was bustled oil to police headquarters. He was taken in by the back door and put in one of the cells in tl e basement. MARKET REPORT* NEW YORK. GENERAL.

Now, it would be a fair estimate to take the lajt fifteen sum tbe Detroit team played with League clubs in their League championship series, and see how they compare with the record of the Detroits against the St Louis team. Here is the record in question: Detroit beat Pittsburg twelve games out of tho last fifteen the two teams played together, and they similarly whipped the Wasbingtons eleven times out of fifteen. The champions defeated the Boston team in ten games out of their last fifteen, and also the Indianapol:s Club the same number, and they beat the New York team in nfne out of the last fifteen. 1 hey only won seven out of the last fifteen with Philadelphia, and but six with Chicago. In view ot these facts, what nonsense it is to state that the Kt. Louia Club would not be higher than fifth, when the lowest they would be placed on this basis would be third, throwing aside the fact that had the Detroits played the strong game with the League clnbs they did against St. Louis, they would have won every league series by a large majority. When asked if he thought Krock was a good man, President Sam Morton, of the new Western League, said: " Well, I should say so. As big as An­ son, and a ball-player all over. One of those fellows who handle a pair of 100- Eound dumb-bells as easily as you would andle a 20-pound pair." "Is he as good a man as Lovett, of the Oshkosh team?" "Yes, every bit, in my opinion. I think he will make a good one for the White Stockings.

President Brush says that he is making an effort to secure several good men, but who they are remains a secret. Experience has taught him that you have not got a man until you see him in the club's uniform, and for that reason he declint s to speak of his nine. He has however, expressed his mind on one point. He is done with ex­ periments and will hereafter use money and secure players of known ability. He sayB the club spent enough money in ex­ perimenting last season to have bought the releases of several first-class men, men who would have added strength to the team. From this on he proposes to know what be is buying. In Hines the club has secured a great man. t FROM NEW YOBK. Chris Yon der Ahe has been in New York for a week past, but what he is doing there no^Vseflpfis to kncuBp It would nqf surprise anybody to see Chris tarn a flip- fiop into the League's arm before many days. Mind I don't say he has any such idea at present. But such an idea is likely to possess him at any moment, and if it comes at tbe right time he will flop. He couldn't lose by it, and it mi%ht be a positive gain. Chris is as uncertain as a flea. There is lots of League pressure in St. Louis, personal and from newspapers, pushing him toward the League camp. He may not te able to see his way clear in that direction for a walk into wealth. But if he ever does that settles it. At least two of his associate clubs suspect his allegiance and regard hiB presence at this time in New York with alarm. No doubt Chris will be interviewed if the boys con get him properly mesmerized; but don't swear by what he says. He is unreliable. FROM DETROIT. A sensational yarn has been set afloat to the effect that Bennett was disabled and wonld not catch any more. The fact that President Stearns was layingin a stock ot young catchers caused, this. There is noth­ ing in it. Bennett will catch for Detroit in 1888 the same as of yore. Stearns, speak­ ing on the question, says: "The reason I am getting new catchers is because 1 de­ sire to lake the strain of the spring work off the hands of Bennett and Ganzel, and use them when they will do the most good." FROM WASHINGTON. Ted Sullivan went to Philadelphia re­ cently in quest of Tom Deasley, whom he proposes to sign for the Senators. Mr. Sullivan says the Washington Club is weeding out all the old demoralizing ele­ ment, and will next season present a strong team of good young material. The pitch­ ers will be Whitney, Gilmore and O'Day; catchers, Mack, Miah Murray and possibly Tom Deasley; O Brien, Meyers and Irwin on the bases; Donnelly, short field; and Wilmot, Hoy and Shock in the outfield. Ted, who is a good judge of ball players, says this will be a strong combination, much stronger, indeed, than would appear upon paper. Sullivan also states that he has the refusal of the management of the team, but that acceptance binges upon an­ other matter. Sullivan is anxious to es­ tablish an International League team of bis own in Trov, New York, and is now work­ ing to that end. If that scheme falls through, be will probably accept the man­ agement of the Washington Club. FROM BOSTON. President Soden, in speaking of the out­ look for next year, savs: I don't know anything to prevent our having the same ei^ht clubs next season. But it would not make me feel very badly if Wash- inj-'tjn and Indianapolis should want to pull out. We should nave six good clubs left. Or, if we wanted to fill out the membership to eight, there iH Brooklyn in the East and Cin­ cinnati in the West. Out in Cinoinnatf they want to corne into the League, and things are setting so there that they are not at all de­ pendent on Sunday games us they are in St. L< u,s. And that is Just whero the next changes in the League are cc mlug. Cincin­ nati and Br» klyn will slip in to till the next vacancies. Kucli a deal would mean a mint of money f< r New York and Brooklyn. Think of the rivalry between the two cities, and no oon flicting games to hurt each other 1 HERE AND THEIiE. Dunlap is said to have signed a contract to piny second base with Pittsburgh next year. The Chicago club is letting no grass grow under its feet in the direction of securing new players tor the season of 1888. Gustav H. Krock, the stalwart pitcher of the Oshkosh Club of the last season, has signed a Chicago Club contract. Since the season closed Krock has been in gieat de mand, New York, Detroit, Pittsburg, and Baltimore openly competing for hi<j signa ture, while the Ch cago management pur sued a still hunt with the same object in view. He refused all offer* until recently, when he came down from his l ome in Mil- waukeee, and, after a short interview with President Spalding, was engaged for the season of 1888.

The •how yesterday looked as it it had been struck by a wave at temi bons were tied to oxen, pinned to tho snowy ieece of the timid sheep, streaming from the ears of the grunting pig, and floating from the silky tail of the road­ ster es he pranced about the sawdust ring-- everywhere appeared the bright color. Red and whtte rib ons were also to be seen, but blue was tho favorite color, and threw all others into the shade. The exhibition ot ponies Is a great attrac­ tion. Frizes were offered fcr the I est saddle ponies, and over a dozen of the little felloes, backed by small boys, Ixxtnl and spurred, galloped around the ring to tbo Intense delight of the crowd. One of the boys toppled off his steed at the first turn, and ant ther was thrown headlong by the bucking of his pony, but neither Buffered any injury except to his feel- infis. The ladies were especially interested in the pony parade, and manifested their delight by htaseli as if he wus a live king. Be hadn't strutted across the yard mor'n about twice till that cow see him. She charged on him. He didnt see her comin', an' the fust he knowed he got a hist from behind that throwed him clean over the fence into a apple orchard. It tuk the stift'nfn' out'n h s tail, an' I hain't seen him struttin' roun' that cow sence." The exhibition of fancy driving and saddle horses was a very attractive feature of the show. The horses were, with one or two ex­ ceptions, exct edingly well trained, and sailed out rounds of applause from the horsemen present. Over a dozen pairs of tandem horses were entered, and the display was gorgeous. The ladies' driving also proved a highly inter­ esting if not fascinating feature. The horses were all fine, showy animals, and apparently realized what waa expected of them. Not one of the ladies saw fit to make use of the whip, and yet each horse performed his duty as faith­ fully and well as it lashed by a masculine driver. The exhibition of saddle horses was the best that has been seen here for some time. Thero were nearly two dozen entries, and tho compe- titi< n whs close. Several of the horses were under the perfect command of their riders. A number of ponies r.ddon by small boys cave variety to the scone and served to interest the younger portion of the crowd. There are many handsome animals to be seen at the exhibition, and many that attrnctcrowda about them daily, but Uncle Isaac, the jumbo hog, has proved the greatest drawing cord. Uncle Israc is a mat nifctnt specimen of the Tamworth t reed- He is 4 years old, stands almost four feet high, and weighs before dinner the modest sum of UC0 pounds. "I don't know what made that shout grow so," said a brawny farmer as he leune i against the fence in one corner of the pen, his hands thrust far into nis breeches poekets and his bat cocked back on his head. "I never took partikler good care of him and never tried to brinic him out like tbat. He alius was a good feeder, tliough.

August Spies was born in Friedwald, In the province of Hesse, Germany, in 185 >. He was educated by a private tutor during his earlier yoar.-i, after wbich he studied at a polytechnio institute. At the age of 1C he took np tne study of forestry. A year later he sailed for Amer­ ica. In the spring of 1880 he took oharge of the business management of the Arbeiter Zeitung, shortly afterward assuming the posi­ tion ot editor. Spies w as woll connected. His family and associates, aside from those culti­ vated in his revolutionary acts, are among the best people in New York, says a special from that city. They are in no sense in sympathy with their kinsmau's ideas or principles; like him they aro intelligent and educated; they have happy, pleasant homes--in a tew In­ stances rich and luxuriant homes ; families of promising children; and all their surroundings of such a character as to mark them ratber as the element with which their relation was at war. Spies was vain and bad an altitudinous opin­ ion of himself. This vanity was also apparent in hia writing, which he" liberally interpolated with phrases and quotations from the Latin, Greek, and French. But with all, he was honest The influence of his paper was great at one time, and Spies repeatedly refused to accept bribes for the illegitimate use of that influence and counte­ nanced no semblance of dishonesty in the ex­ pression or formation of opinions that his paper might contain. His own Income from the paper never ex­ ceeded per week; he limited himself to that amount, and from it supported bis mother and younger brothers, aa well as extending frequenl help to other brothers who were in business. sister, Uretohen, was at the time employed in agfwtory; she is now a dveaemaker, ana in her xurn bas provided for her mother since August's imprisonment. In the face of his fiery and denunciatory editorials and manifestoes, he was easily af­ fected at the sight of suffering or blood. I pjn one occasion, returning from the inspection of a mine disaster, he was affected to tears while reciting the incidents to his associate editor. Upon another occasion, when viewing the bodies of two girls who in terror had leaped from the sixth story of a burning' build ng, he fainted away and refused to look upon the eight again. When traveling through the coal districts of Iliindis he gave his money and even pawned his wateh to relieve some of the starving min­ ers, and telegraphed to his paper for means to return. Spies was a natural and combative orator, bold and decided in bis attitude, qualities that were quickly recognized by a large circle of female admirers, who haunted the office and the home and made themselves universally frequent wherever the objeot Of their admira­ tion chanced to be. He loudly and frequently asserted his decision never to marry. With these favorable traits of character Spies, as his years increased and his enthusi­ asm reduced itself to a settled policy, might have been an instrument of reform ana benefit for the workingman. It was not so long sinee wuen Spies looked for the accomplishment of his purpose to purely scientific and peaceful arguments and means, and when he was in fre­ quent consultation and constant correspondence with John 8 win ton, whose policy was an en­ tirely satisfactory one to Spies himself. Upon the occasion of the nihilist excitement In Russia, Paul Grottkow, then an editor al writer on the Arbeiter Zeitung, urged that the crimes committed by those fanatics should be eharged as tbe action ot the police. This Spies strenu-nsly opposed, declaring that the nihil­ ists alone were ,gullty. It was justifiable, and they should be applauded for what they had in­ dividually aone, without transferring the credit in any other direction. While claiming that communism would be the final result of the social economy he was advocating, he was consistently lenient toward minor offenders who endeavored to anticipate their outlined millennium by appropriating that which belonged to some one else. But with striking inconsistency he violently op­ posed any attempt of his unwashed constitu­ ency to interfere with his personal property. One night he was awakened by tbe prowllnas Of a burglar about bis house, and grasping his revolver he gave chase t > the fellow for the dis­ tance of some four blacks, perforating the air with bullets, probably to the terror of the flee­ ing robbber and to the destruction of his own theories. There were unsavory incidents In tbe history ef Spies' lamily, some of them serving to em­ phasize August's good points. A younger brother, in company with boys of his own age, hired a wagon and went into the country for a day's recreation. On their return toward even­ ing they were attracted to an orchard by a rich display of ripe fruit, and whilo filling their pockets, after having distended their stomachs, they were interrupted by the farmer, who pro- tei*ted against the robbery. A fusillade of stones followed, one of them unfortunately striking the farmer's temple, and stretching him dead upon the ground. A writer on Spies' paper, desirous ot doing aa little outrage to his editor's feelings as possible, in preparing an ac­ count of the Incident, inclined toward excuses for the boys. August saw the proof before it went in the paper, crumpled it In his band, and threw it into the waste-basket, saying that he would treat the ease himself. He did so, and excoriated the young men, demanding their punishment, although his brother was one of them. This brother was afterward shot and killed by a policeman, and August then and there vowed he would be revenged for the shooting. From that time the police were spe­ cial objects of attack in his paper. It was at this period an event occurred that warped Spies' future life. While be was |n this partially inflamed opposition to the police as the Instruments of his brother's death, Johann Most, with bis murderous teachings, came on the scene and preached in the willing ears of the young editor. The words bore their fruit, f-p'es listened and tbe tone and character of his writings uuderwent a radical change. The opinion of Spies upon hansing is of in­ terest j.st at this time and maybe told in a few words. A barging had taken place in Chicago and the question ame lip in the editorial department as to the proper treatment it should receive. Grottkow was for doing it up in a few words, whi e Spies argued that it was a sensational occurrence and should be so treated, saying: "In principle I'm against capital punishment, but as there will be some wholesale killing done in Chicago in tbe future we might as well get our readers used to if' LINGO. . v . A leaf from the Life of the Bomb-Maker. (Germany) dispatch to Chicago News.! Louis Lingg was bom in Schwotzbwen, Sept 9.1864, of poor parents. His father died when Louis was a child. He was brought to Mann­ heim when hpt years old, and spent eight years in the Volk Hehool, where his unusual brightness surprised his teachers.

He worked in a cotton-mill inl in various capacities from the time he was years old till he reached his majority. When^'- Sif he was 18 years old he went to Westlyn and joined the Jlethodist Episcopal Church, beoom- r lug a 8unday-school Superintendent, and after­ ward a local preacher. He came to the United States in 1886. After working East, he went to Olmstead Falls, near Cleveland, Ohio, removing to Summit, Cook County, in 1809, where he- worked upon the farm of "Long" John Went- worth. He then went fcouth, but .returned, and. took up his residence in Chicago in 1871. He was a teamster, and for many years was em­ ployed in hauling stone. GOT INTO A HARD CKOWD.
