Tbe colonial government at that time agreed to concede all privileges to American flshermeu ou British ground for the remainder of the fishing sesiou.

Peremptory orders were given to allow no one Inside the building excepting Uain a written order Issued by the sheriff. The police guard waa doubled and each watch exteuded three hours. None of the seven anarchists were let out of their colli this morning. Mrs. Parsons, Mrs.

Word was int by tbe sheriff to the friends of the condemned, saying no admittance would be given to the Jaii, and tbli morning the entire force of deputy sheriffs re-ported at tbe jail for duty. It was shortly after 9:30 o'clock when Lings and Engel were led from their colli to the con-aultatlon cage and the search began. Engol'i coll wai first entered and thoroughly examined. Tbe bed aud bedding were looked over, crack. In the walls and table thoroughly explored and I lie clothing bunging around tbe cell learcheil, but beyond a low cigar bones, tome fruit, books mid papers, nothing was found.

Then the deputy sheriff entered Llngg's cell, while lu former occupant planted himself lu a corner of till tenijiorary prlsou and watched them with earger eyes, lie was as pslo hi death and trembled like an aapen leaf as the searcher moved around In the Utile stoiic-wullcd room. Suddenly two of the throe men Inside jumped out to the corridor, while the third man field at arms' length a small wooden box which be carried carefully to the jull olllce and laid on Jailor Folz'i desk. The box contained elx plocei of gas pipe, each about six or seven inches in length, filled with somo heavy sub-atanee and plugged at both ends. Jailer Folz picked up one which was closed at one end with a round lion itoiier, aud one of the officers pronounced it a vorltublo dynamite bomb. Just then Sheriff Matson arrived at tbe tall, and ordered that the dangerous weapons ic placed in the box aud seut to a chemist for analysis, though there was no doubt as to the result of the examination.

Then the soarcU was continued, but beyond a quantity of rubbish nothing was found. Then the cells of Parsons, Spies, Bcbwuband Fleldcn wore searched In the order named, but no contraband articles of any kind were fouud. It was decided however, that It was best to change tlio cells, aud accordingly four apartments ou the lower tier were cleaned out. No. 11, which is directly in front of the entrance to the jail, and between two rows of irou gratings, In which space three men are on guard lit and day, was prepared for Ungg's reception, and there the bomb manufacturer was locked up.

The next cell to that now occupied bv Llngg Is used as a kind of storeroom by the deputy jailers, nnd is also inside of the space between the two gratings mentioned.

The baskets brought the frleuds of the prisoners were not takwd Into the jail and one brought by Mrs, Vau Zandt lu person for August Spies met a similar fate aud was lent back to tba lender, A messenger boy brought a dispatch for Spies which the sheriff opened and road and then sent to the prisoner. He would nut say what the despatch contained or who it wai from but said that It coutalued nothing of sedlclons character. Enael wai sick all nlgbt and was unable to partake of anything but a cup nf coffee today. The others were In excellent health, however, and not receiving any dinner until ii o'clock asked eagerly for their midday meal and allowed good appetites when they did ro-ceive It.

The prisoners took the change of quarters quiet as a matter of course, and read, wrote ana smoked as though notulug uuusual was going on. The news of tho finding of tho bombi spread like wlldtlre. A universal reaction of the amnesty sentiment was Immediately apparent. Hundreds of citizens who bad signed the petition for clemency regretted tbelr action aud wished thoy bad never appended their uaines to the paper. Twenty of the ofllcors fit the central detail wero In the aouad room when a reporter entered and told them tho news.

Instantly there was a storm of Indignation, The wonl "bombs" rocalled to them the scenes of the Havmarket, and there was but one expression of comment on the subject. Ono lieutenant sarcastically remarked: "Well, they ought to pardon Llngg, anyway." The general oplulon around the police stations wss that whatever might be fats nf the others, Llngg's doom was sealed and he would have to go to the gallows. It Is doubtful if tho condemned men will longer be allowed the privilege of reading the dully papers. It was suggested to tho sheriff that the advertising columns might easily be utilized ns means of communication In cipher between them and outsiders, and In all probability they will be deprived of their principal pleasure. The news nf the bomb discovery was received with jeers and laughs at the socialist political headquarters.

"Ha, ha," laughed four or Ave of the hangers-on, "is this the newest device for murdering the imprlsoucd boys!" "How many bombs were found!" asked Mrs. Parsons, who happened to be la the room. "Four," answered the reporter. "Why, that's just one for each of the boys," sneeringly replied the anarchist's wife, who evidently Ignores tho three who have petitioned for mercy. "Are tho four bombs sll that the detectives and deputy sheriffs could discover! My, my, what a discovery It was, and how do the police or the powers that be explain the presence of these bombs in Llngg's coll!" "Don't know," echoed several newspaper men.

"I have It," cried Mrs. Parsons. ''Don't give this away will you! The way those bombs cama into the possession of Louis Ltugg was through bis girl, Eda Mueller. Of lato you will have noticed that she has been wearing a very largo bustle, much too large for style or comfort. Then again, If you have watched her very closely, she always sits down very carefully and quietly.

If she did not, why she would be blown to atoms. She, then, must bo the one who has furnished these bombs. There you have an explanation of the mystery. Hal ba! thank God, I don't wear a bustle at all, and therefore I cannot bo accused of any complicity In the last scusatlon." Changing her tone suddenly from sarcasm to Intense earnestness, she expressed herself In emphatically plain English on what she declared the plot of conscienceless men to murder helpless human fellow creatures, A Queer Story. Pittsburg, Nov.

4. Yesterday Thomas Owens, a carpenter at work on a house at Homestead, fell from the roof and broke his neck. Squire Ocffner wss deputized to bold an Inquest, and to-day reported that deceased came to this city some two or three days after tbe haymarket riot at Chicago In a somewhat dilapidated condition, representing himself to be a carpenter. He at once secured work at Homestead with J. It.

Millet, and for tho past year had been working steadily beside a man named Piper or Pelfer, also a carpenter. When Owens began work he said he had just come from Chicago, where had a brother living, and be seemed nervous aud startled at everything, une nay while l'eiicr and Owens were at work an oilicer camo to Homestead lu search of a man on a charge of desertion. Seeing Owens, and not knowing what his man looked like, the oilicer asked Mr. Millet who Owens was, and when told went away. The men at work beard that the ofllcer hud asked who Owous was and out of tulsculef told him that an officer had asked after him.

Ho became vory much exciteil and went to Mullctt at once wanting what pay was duo lilin aud expressed a desire to get awav from Homestead as soon as possible, but when assured that be was not the man the oilicer wanted be went to work again seemingly contented. This con-duet Interested Pelfer, who was rooming as well as working In his company and at tbe first opportunity, ho began a systematic inquiry of Owens' as to his cause of alarm lu his conversation. Yesterday Pelfer sworo he-fore Squire OelTncr In tho course of the Inquest, that Thomas Owens hud said to him: "I am very sorry for those anarchists in Chicago who are now In jail charged with throwing bombs at the havmarket riot. There are othors outside who are more to blame than they. I was at tno Havmarket riot and am an anarchist, and say that I threw a bomb in that riot." Pelfer was cautioned to keep the statement a secret ami that was tbe reason he did not tell the story until after the death of Owens.

The way the story happened to come out was that all the men employed on the building were standing around the squire's olllce, having been summoned there as wituessos In the Owens Inquest, and whllo there Poller and Mullet began talking of this story. "1 heard their remarks," said tho squire this morning, "end Immediately called Pelfer to the stand and swore him, mid, although It bad nothing to do with the cause nf Owens' death, yet under oath he told tho story I bare just related." Pelfer said this afternoon that his testimony before the coroner's Inquest was substantially as reported. Owens was a man about 28 years of age, ami hud said to blin that he had belonged to the same group of anarchists as Spies and Parsons; that he was present at tho haymarket meeting, handled the bomb and was close to the man who threw It. The squire made an examination of the effects of the deceased and In bis trunk found a number of letters, one of which was from his sliler In Chicago, warning him to keep away from all socialists as thev had boon the cause of all his trouble. Another letter was from a brother, cautioning him not to write home for fear his letters might lis Intercepted and his whereabout thus revealed; that his old homo was watched and advising hlin to act with caution, and nut as grout a distance between himself and Chicago as possible.

A thorough Investigation by the morning press loaves very little room for doubt that Owens was sn anarchist mid that he was in Chicago at the time of the haymarket massacre. Charles Dudgln, a contractor snd builder snd'a reputahlo citizen of Homestead, said to-night that he was well acquainted with the young man In Chicago. lie was with Owens a few days before tho riot, and met him once on the street after that fearful night, Owens was an enthusiastic anarchist and attended sll their meetings. Captain Mullott, the owner of considerable property at Homestead, and regarded as a man ol veracity, stated to-nlglit 1 lint Owens had confessed to blin that he bad thrown tbe bomb. During the visit of Mrs.

Parsons at Pittsburg about a year ago, Owens quit work and remained with her until she left the cltr. Owens' trunk snd contents will be turued over to the coroner. A Mall Schooner Sunk. Norfolk, Nov. 4.

7. Trouble bad beeu threatening In this neighborhood for somo time psst and tho negroes bad been talking freely of burning tho town, while oua who Is now a prisoner told the Hon. Don Csf. frcy ot a plot which was to have been carried Into effect Saturday night, Tbe shooting aud wounding of four white men on Phalr's plantation Friday decided the authorities here to Instltuto a search for arms lu the town and at tbe samo time to arrest seversl men who had made themselves most conspicuous by the loudness snd ferocity ot their threats. The troops are quartered on steamboats near Williams' saw mill, about a mile from town, and from there Saturday afternoon betweeu 4 and 5 o'clock the Attskobas rangers, under command of Captain Cade, together with a posse of citizens partly of this neighborhood and partly from Franklin moved on the town.

At the entrance to the town stand two cottages, the one ou tbe right occupied by a white man named Ilibhert aud that on tbe left by colored people. Here, as tbe troops spprosched, they found a crowd ot from flftv to UK) excited negroes. This crowd was ordered to disperse snd somo left, but others sssumed a defiant attitude, and one uegro of notorious character threw bis hand behind him ss If to draw pistol. A regular tusilsde was opened by the sheriff's posse, and four ot the negroes were shot dead. It Is asserted by the nillltls, and with considerable lKisltlveness by some of them, that no militiaman fired a shot, and that all the killing was done by the sheriff's posse, but Csptsin Cade seemed to hsve had a great dcsl of dlfllculty In restrsluing his men from firing.

Besides tbe four negroes killed, one was very severely wounded Two hoys also are ssld to have beeu hit. The sheriff withdrew as soon as the firing began. After the affray the trooiis msrehed through the town aud many nf the negroes retired to tbe woods. The number ot shots fired is estimated at from thirty to ono hundred but the firing was by no means indiscriminate. Tho four men killed were bad characters.

It has become necessary to cap the wells all of which are flowing In order to prevent the flooding of the country. Wherc-ever well is sunk water Is found. Recently one well wss sunk which Is yielding 2,500,000 gallons of water a day, the liquid rising twenty Inches above the top of tho pipe In many cases lu which pipes are capped a plug Is Inserted and a bote attached, through which tbo water Is forced by the natural pressure to any purt of the grounds. Among tbe big wells of the region are tho following, with the names of the owners ot the land where they are situated: Ilrusle, 8,000,000 gallons; Haley, Spring, 1,6 JO, 000; Mayo, Robinson, Hay-nioiid, and Moore, Moebus, Hugglii, another, another, Hogan, Arnold, 1,500,000, There sre within a rsdius of lou miles thirty-four large flowing wells, and many more small ones.

Small cities aud vlllugos, when considering the question of introducing a public water supply do not seem to appreciate the fact that the earth Itself Is a great reservoir ot water, and that If scientlileallv tapped, It can be made to yield a supply abundant for all uses. Instead, they look shout for vlslblo streams, lakes or ponds, snd if these are not in sight teem to take It us a foregone concluv slon that they must spend a large sum ot money to bring water from long distances or go without It. Iu nine times out of ten such places could obtain an Inexhaustible water supply by simply driving tubes Into tbe ground snd connecting them together snd attaching stcsm engines to them. In many in. stances, no doubt, artesian wells would be developed, like tboso mentioned above.

Modern science has demonstrated the fact, that In order to secure a public water supply, It Is not nccosssry to rely upon the deposi'ls uiKin the surface ot the earth. and Water, Tho Cost of Show rrlnting-A St. Louis theatrical sgent says: Instead of there being any retrenchment In the cost of show printing by theatrical managers tbls year, all previous efforts are being outdone. Aa lithography develops as one of the flno arts, the show business rifles It of Its choicest tressures. Show printing proper that Is, wood cuti In colors, no longer occupies the walls exclusively as formerly, some managers covering the former with the very lithograph work.

I have put up stsnds of bills the actual cost of which was $50. Big letter announce ments no longer suffice; elaborate full length portraits of the stars, and artlsttrslly executed scenes from tbe play itself with full length figures are given. The 'inside work," as we call the printed matter with which we decorate windows, Is In most esses the perfection nt tbe art. Take the mammoth bust of Marie Wain wrlght, which Is shown In the principal win dows this week, and It Is alone worth framing and hanging In a parlor. Vast sums are spent In large photographs tor winder display.

It Is a great mistake to suppose that these are all collected at tbe end of the engagement Shopkeepers with prominent windows know their vsiue as suverusiiig memum, anu are not satisfied with the complimentary passes to tbe thester, with which the bill-poster once paid his window rent They Insist In sddltlon, UDon being presented with anything valuable or attractive that we may display. Some of them will receive no favors, but rent ma the use ot their windows for so much money a season. I do not know that I lose anything from tbls clsss, take It sll in all. Having en- faged with them in a legitimate transaction, bey neither expect nor ask for "courtesies." Another very expensive festure thst is grow.

Governor Ogles-by being iskcd tbls morning regarding tbe threatening epistles which be hsd received during tbe psst few dsys from the anarchist sympathizers said: "1 am very much afraid that that matter haa been exaggerated, as such reports usually are. It Is quite true that I have received threatening communications but they have never alarmed me. Most of them hsve been received within tbe psst week, or since the refusal of the supreme court of tho United States to toko up the matter, aud thev have consisted of unsigned telegrams and postal cards, with now aud then a sealed letter. I have never wished to alarm my family and for that reason, together with the fact that I attach no Importance to these threats, the communications are generally conslgued to the flames. I do not think I have received more than half a dozen threatening communications altogether, mostly all written the week or so.

The newspapers are attaching altogether too much Importance to these threats. The number of threatening communications have beeu very limited Indeed. The Gallows All Itendy. Chicago, 111., Nov. 7.

The gallows upon which the anarchists are to bang have been prepared and are now In the basement of the cotmiy jail. Purcbaselng sgent Bcnhsm wss in ttie basement Friday to look at the walla, as he had peen told tbey were defective snd needed repairing, lie found a carpenter there at work on tbe gallows. The two old ones had been overhauled. One of them was found large enough for three and the other one had been chagned for four. The carpenter was hired by Commissioner Hemmclgarn.

He did not work Saturday snd there were no noises to he bend In the shop to-day and It is to ho Inferred that the gallows are prepared aud ready for use. Indians ltouted. Crow Aoescr, M. Nov. 6.

The Crow Indian affair came to a head to-day, resulting In tbe complete routing of tbe Indian forces. The Indians held a big council this morning among themselves and disclaimed sny Intentions to fight. General linger scut, about 10 a. James Campbell aud Interpreter "Tobacco Jake" down to the Indian camp to learn their intentions. The Invitation was respond ed to by sbout ten chiefs, with l'retty Eagle as spokesman.

General Armstrong first spoke, tolling them that he had been sent by the Great Father to settle tbe trouble with the Crows, but that they had been bad and be had turned the matter over entirely to General Kuger, who would deal with them as he ssw lit. Pretty Eagle said: "Wo will give up Sword lleurer, but we cannot give up tbe others." General linger then said: "I want all of the seven that fired Into the agency building, and 1 will give them one hour and a half to come In." Ho then told Crazy head that he must bring his son, who was one of them. Crazy Head replied that they would go back to the camo and talk to Sword Hearer. General lluger said: "That is all I have to sny." Campbell Ithen returned to the Indian camp with the Indians, but returned shortly, saying that a council was being held. The troops were bold In readiness, snd the Indians were patiently watched by the command until tbe time was up.

The Indians, In the meantime, hsd formed luto a long line, and Sword Dearer could be sceu riding up snd down haranguing them. A few scattering shots were then tired Into the air. The time being up, General linger sent troops F. snd down the valley ou the left flank of the Indians, wbere they wero mot by about half of the Indians gathered In tbe war party, which numbered about 151). A red hot skirmish then resulted, lu which Corporal Charles Thompson was killed.

Private Eugene Mailer slightly wounded, and Private Clark thrown from his horse and hla shoulder dislocated. These were all In troop commanded by Lieutenant Edwards aud Second Lieutenant Bri'um. A running light ensued, the Indians retreating, some to the peaceful gathering, near the agency, snd others crossing the river and taking to tho hills. Sword Hearer made a final stand at the crossing of the Little Horn, about one mile below the agency. In which he and probably tlirco of his followers were killed; This wss the result of tbe skirmish Are of troop, First cavalry, commanded by Captain F.

Kupliam and Lieutenant J. H. Alvahlrs. Sword Hearer's body was brought Into camp, but the other Indians are only reported dead. Most of the Indians circled about and returned to the agency, mixing with the other camps.

There are now supixised to bo from twenty to fifty loose in the hills. Severs! troops of cavalry are now cut dose on their heels, and they will probably soon be captured, There was about two hours of actual fighting. It Was No Accident. St. Loots, Nov.

2. While removing the debris to day ruin the cellar of the Newman building, wbcro the terrible explosion occurred yesterday morning, It was discovered that the explosion did not occur In Newman's store cellar at, an, nut in mat adjoining on the south under the house occupied by the Dcvera family. Tho foundation wsli separating the two buildings hss two holes, each about six feet wide snd some twenty foot apart, kuock-ed In It, and the heavy masonry of tho wall was blown Into Newman's cellar. This confirms the report that there were two explosions, snd further examination may reveal the tisture nf the agent used and a clue may he obtained to the Identity of the fiend who perpetrated the awful act Fourteen persons at Pittsburgh were made seriously sick by drinking poisoned milk, but it lit thought that they will sll recover. Buerui Matson was seen on ttie subject during the afternoon.

He was very reticent at first, but, after consideration, made a clean breast of the whole affair. "We had no rcasou," he said, "to make the search at this particular time. That Is, we re-tcived no intimation that anything was wrong. It was merely a precautionary measure derided on some time ago by Jailer Folz and myself. We selected Sunday as a quiet day, when the examination would make less disturbance than If It were made ou a week day.

For some time there was so much of this amnesty business going on that I did not care to Interfere with the good citizens who were Interested in the condemned men or place any cbstacle In tbelr way. But we felt as though the time had come to tako extra precautions, and so decided to clean the cells out. Of course. In view of the developments of the search, the most stringent precautionary mcasutes will now be taken. The prisoners will not be allowed to exorcise as much as formerly, and the number of visitors will bo restricted.

No one will be allowed to visit any of the condemcd lu tbe cage, am if any Interviews are granted, it will be onlv to near relatives and In the presence of a jail olliclul. 1 won't say that every visitor will bo searched, but there will be no opportunity for any exchange of anything whatever between the prisoners and outsiders. As for Llngg, I don't huow that he will be allowed to see any one, but have not yet fully decided on that point. Henceforth no baskets of victuals or fruit will be allowed to be sent from any of the prisoners' friends to them, sjid lib letters or dispatches will be received or sent until they are examined by a Jail olIlclnL" "Will the condemned men be restricted to prison faro." "Well, no, They can have anything thny wanttooat. From this time on they are my and will bi provided with anything hey desire to eat at my expense." "Where did you scud tbe bombs for examination "That I don't care to say.

I will tell you the result of tho examination to-morrow." "Is there any significance In the distribution of tbe men in the new cells, Spies, Foildnn aud Schwrab being allowed to remain on the second tier, and the others placed un Icr closer guard!" "None whatever. The new disposition was the result of accident. First come, first served." "Will any extra guards be placed over them!" "Yes sir. All said, the time has enmn to take every possible precaution. They will bo stronglr guiirdcd night and day, and a special man will Match each of tho prisoners from this time forward." The sheriff walked into the jail yard and there met Captain Schaaek who entered through tho criminal court building.

The two officers walked Into an obscure corner of tho vard and had a long consultation. What the topic or result of the "Interview wai, could not be ascertained, but soon after the police on uard In the upper floor were called to atten-lon, and given a long talk before they were drilled. Outside of the great sansatlnn of the day things were quiet around the jail. There was an air of mystery all morning which was not explained before 2 o'clock. Admittance was denied to every one.

Reporters were as rigorously excluded as anv of the public. Mrs. Schwab and Mrs. Engel brought over baskets containing dinner tor the loved prisoners and left them nt the door leading to the court yard, Llngg's girl, Ida, Mueller, cama over with a basket for Llngg, anil it too was loft at the door, About this time Sheriff Mat-sou, accompanied by Chief Deputy Oieason, left tho jail yard by the small irate and were rlnaelv nnraned bv a small army of reporters. But they disappeared as mysteriously as a pea tinder the "con man's" nutshell, and were not found until half an hour later, when they said that there was nothing of consequence except general cleaning up in me Jan.

i But the air of mystery which pervaded everything could ho felt, it was so thick, and aharifT'a denial was not very reassuring. A reporter caught a deputy who let drop an Inadvertent remark. It was nothing of Importance, but the Idea gained credence that Parsons sod Llngg bad concealed lorna poison i h.ir Mils and It bad been discovered. This tbe sheriff subsequently denied and for along time (tuck to the story that nothing was o'clock tbe reporter! were admitted to the Jail tod found lb mjitarjrt I.
