hoxvever, that if the worst comes to the
worst the voluniiuousness of the record
and the length of time required to copy
it are excellent grounds for a stay of
proceedings Iy the court or a respite hy
the governor. Hut he does not despair
of getting the record ready in tints for
the United States sepmne court to act
on an application for a supersedeas. In
fact, he believes that a justice of that
court can lawfully grant a supersedes
xvithout seeing the whole record, and by
in, -rely consulting the abstracts in the
case. He left therefore for Nexv York
this evening, accompanied by Attorney
Solomon, whom he takes along because
of his familiarity with the case. They
carry with them copies of the main pa

the prospect for securing a supersedeas

story in a morning paper of Nina Van
Zandt's maid going to Captain Schaack,
with a blood-curdling account of hoxv
the anarchists xvere plotting wohlesale
destruction, and were endeavoring to
have weapons conveyed to them from
the outside by Nina herself, created con
siderable amusement on all sides to-day,
but was denied in toto by Captain
Schaack. Considerable precautions are
taken at the jail jnst the same to guard
against any surprise. A cordon of po
lice surround the buildings, and detec-tix-cs
hang around the corriders and
lounge in and out with assumed care
le sue.-s, but still keeping n watchful eye
on ex'cry person who enters the place, or
even looks curiously at it from the out
side. States Attorney Grinnell is the
special object of the care of the watchers.
Everything brought into the jail for the
auachistsby their friends is subjected to
a careful, minute examination, and it
is quite impossible that a weapon or ex
plosive could be given to them which
would enable them to attempt an escape
and any effort to destroy the building
fro.n the outside would involve the
death of tho men whom all their friends
a:e now moving heaven and ei.rth to
s ive from that fate. The mail of the
imprisoned men has increased vastly
since the judgement of the supreme
court. Twice a day the death watch
distributes a big bundle of letters and
papers among them. Spies gets the
most mail. Some big, corpulent en-el-opes
came one day last week. One was
sent to each of the anarchists. The su
perscription on one of them was: "To
Cstizen August Spies, Murdered by the
Stat j." On one corner of the envelope
was: "Citizen George Francis Train, Nexv
York." A visitor who talked with
Scxvab tlrs morning, said he had re
ceixed a letter from Herr Bcbel, the
great socialist leader of the Germrn par
liment. Parson gaxe out to the nexvs
papers to-night a document about two
columns in length, addressed to the
American public.
ANAKCnY S DYING WAIL.
Chicago. Sept. 21. A circular of deep
red anarchistic tendencies is being ciru

bandit" and villifies Judge Gary with
out stint. The circular is signed by

all over the city to have any and all per
sons found distributing the circular ar

A STRANCE EXPERIENCE,
A Lincoln Man Takes an Overdose
of Electricity.
A special in this morning's Omaha Bee
gives the folloxving strunge experience of
a Lincoln man yesterday: "A working
man named Smith xvas horribly mutilat
ed in a remarkable manner this eyening.
On O street,at the corner of Nineth.hang
ing from a telephone pole and lying
along the ground for a distance, was a
telephone wire, which had in some man
ner become crossed, or in connection
with an electric light wire. As Smith
was passing along the street he saxv the
wire burning, and attracted by the strange
appearance, and hot realizing what it
was, evidently took hold of it to ascer
tain what it meant. The shock he re
ceived xvas terrific, and his shrieks
brought hundreds to the street. Ho
could not loosen his hold on the wire,
and it burned his hands to the bone. In
his writhings and contortions the charged
wire came in contact w ith his head, burn
ing out one of his eyes and laying the
side of his face open. Whcreer it struck
his body it cut like a knife. A bystand
er, realizing the peril of the man, ran to
him, grabbing him to pull him from the
wire, but by the shock he receix'ed when
he came in contact with the body of the
man he was knocked ten feet and utterly
prostrated so that it was feared he was
also killed. By this time the electricity
had either burned the man Smith loose
from the wire, or he had succeeded in
his struggles in breaking axvay. He was
picked up and carried into an adjoining
restaurant and a half dozed physicians
summoned. The'man presented a horri
ble appearance and despite the physicians'
efforts to put him under the influence of
morphine he shrieked and writhed in the
agony he suffered until taken to the hos
pital. The doctors express an opinion
that he may survive his injuries although
it appears impossible. It is understood
the oil company in moving tanks through
the streets to-day and passing under tel
ephone wires must have broken this one
which after breaking came in contact
with the electric light wire, and this be
came a death warrant where hundreds of
people wer passing. That others were
not injured through the carelessness is al
most a miracle."

Peoria, 111.. Sept. 21. Another rail
