liOUKOWED AND STOLEN.
SIX BOMB3 IN LINCC'S CELL.
Startling Discovery Made
in
tho
Cook County Jail.
CmcACo, Xov. C. The cells of the
seven coiulcmcil anarchists in the county
jail were searched today and six loaded
bonilis were found hidden away in a
wooden lox which was concealed under
a pile of newsjiapers in the corner of
Line's cell. When the deputy sheriffs
entered Lingg's cell its occupant planted
himself in a corner of his temporary
prison and watched them with eager eyes,
lie was pale as death and trembled like
an aspen leaf as the searchers moved
around in the little stons walled room.
Suddenly two of the three men inside
jumped out into the corridcr while the
third man held at arm's length a small
wooden box which he carefully carried
to the jail office and laid on Jailer
Foltz's desk. The box contained six
pieces of g .s pipe each about six or
seven inches in length. They were filled
with some heavy substance and plugged
at both ends. Jailer Poltz picked up
one which was closed at one end with a
round iron stopper, and one of the offi
cers pronounced it a veritable iron bomb.
Just then Sheriff Matson arrived at the
jail and ordered that the dangerous
weapons be replaced in the box and sent
to a chemist for analysis, although there
was no doubt as to the result of the ex
amination. Then the search was con
tinued, but beyond a quantity of rubbish
nothing could be found. Then tlie cells
of Fischer, Parsons, Spies, Schwab and
Fielden were searched in the order named
but no contraband articles of any kind
were found. The nevs of the finding of
the bombs spread like wildfire. A uni
versal reaction of the amnesty sentiment
was immediately apparent. Hundreds of
citizens who signed the petitions for
clemency regretted their action and
wished they had never appended their
names to tlie paper. Twenty of the
offic ers of the central detail were in the
squad room when a reporter entered and
told them the news. Instantly there was
a storm of indignation. The word
"bombs" recalled to them the scenes of
the II tym iiket, and there was but one
expression of comment on the subject.
One lieutenant sarcastically remarked:
"Well they ought to pardon Lingg any
way."
Engol Tries to Kill Himsofr.
Late tonight another remarkable feat
ure of the matter came to light, which
explains why lha search ot the cells hap
pened to be made today. It is asserted
that latu last night the death watch in
murderer's row, where the condemned
men were confined, heard groans coming
from P2ngel"s cell. Stepping to the door
he saw Engel lying on his back breathing
stentoriouly and groaning. The watch
man called him by name but could get
no answer and went into the cell, only
to discover that Engel was unconscious,
apparently under the influence of some
drug. After working with Engel some
time, in an effort to arouse him, the
watchman became alarmed and hastily
summoned Dr. Gray, the physician in
charge of the insane department of the
jail. The latter, on looking ' at Engel,
saw he was under the influence of a drug
and a strong effort was made to rouse
him. Engel partially aroused and swore
at them for interrupting his rest and de
manded to be left alone. lie was forced
to take an emetic, however, and made to
walk the floor between two s'.alwart jail
ors until all danger was parsed. He con
tinued to protest all night that nothing
was wrong ith him except that ho had
taken a little whiskey and was stupid.
This attempted suicide was a liat induced
the authorities to order a search of all the
cells today to prevent a like attempt on
the part of others. A bottle which had
contained laudanum, which Engel had
taken, was found in the urinal of his cell,
with a few drops of tlie drug remaining
in it. When, with this evidence he finally
sullenly admitted his attempt at suicide
ami said lie had done it because lie pre
ferred death that way to the carrying out
of the sentence of the law. He stubborn
ly refused to tell how he had obtained
the poison.
Governor Olosby Thunderstruck.
Spkingkikld, 111., Nov. G. Governor
Oglesby was thunderstruck when he re
ceived the uews to night of tlie finding
of the bombs in Lingg's cell. He read
and re-read the dispatch and a cloud of
gloom, vexation and anxiety swept over
his face a3 the lull import of the inform
ation dawned upon him. "1 can say
nothing," said he to an Associated Press
representative. "I must say nothing
whatever in regard to this matter. There
is nothing I can properly say. Any
opinion, I might express, even were it
proper for me to express an opinion,
would be misunderstood."

Crow Indian Agency, M. T., Nov. 6.
The Crow Indian affair came to a head
yesterday. The Indians held a big coun
cil in the morning among themselves and
disclaimed any intentions to fight. Gen.
Ruger sent James Campbell and an inter
preter, "Tobacco Jake," down to learn
their intentions. Gen. Armstrong had
told them that he had been sent by the
Great Father to settle with them, but
that they had been bad and they must
give up these bad men to the soldiers;
and as they had been bad had turned the
matter over entirely to Gen. Ruger who
would deal with them as he saw tit.
Gen. Ruger then said: "I want all of
these seven that fired into the agency
buildings, and will give them one hour
and a half to come in."
Crazy Hog replied that they would go
back to the camp and talk to Sword
liearcr.
Tlie Indians were watched by the com
mand until the time w3 up. A few
scattering shells were tired into the air at
this time, and the time being up, Gn.
linger sent troops down the valley on the
left flank of the Indians, where they were
met by about half of the Indians gathered
in a war party which numbered about
1,500. A red hot skirmish resulted, in
which Cornoral Charles Samoson was
killed, Private Euwene Malloy slightly
wounded, and Private Clark was thrown
from his horse and his shoulder dislocated.
These were all in troop K, commanded
by Lieu. Edwards and Second Lieu.
Byrani. A running fight ensued, the
Indians retreating to the peaceful gath
ering that was near the agency, and
others crossing the river, taking to the
hills, Sword Bearer made a final stand
at the crossing of the Little Horn about
one mile below the agency in which he
and probably three of Ills followirs were
killed. This was the result of the
kirmish fire of G troop First cavalry,
commanded by Capt. F. K. Upham and
Lieut. J. B. Aleshire. Sword Barer's
body was brought to camp but the other
Indians are only reported dead.
Killed in a WrecK.
Keakney, Neb., Nov. G. News has
just come that this morning S. W. Pow
ers was killed in a wreck on the St. Paul
& Manitoba road somewhere west of St.
Paul, Minn. For over fourteen years Mr.
Powers has resided here with his family
and for several was stock agent for the
Union Pacific, but left that road 6ome
few months ago to accept a similar posi
tion with the St. Paul fc Manitoba road
and was on his way home to Kearney for
the purpose of moving his family to St.
Paul. No particulars have been received
save that he was hurt at 5 o'clock this
morning and died three hours later. He
was one of Kearney's most highly respect
ed citizens and in his business he had no
superiors.
Bridge Burners.
Fkemont, Neb., Nov. 7. An attempt
was made last night to burn the bridge
over the Platte river at this place. The
fire was discovered by a farmer who was
crossing thetraoture. He gathered help
at the brick yards, I eyoud the river, and
returned and put it out. The bridge 13
made entirely of wood, and if the fire
had not been d'scovend when it was
the structure would have been destroyed.
Some unknown miscreants seem to have
a purpose in the destruction of the
bridge, as it was recently damaged by
the removal of braces. The bridge is
over half a mile in length.
A Chlnoso Lecturer Drops Dead
bT. JosKpii, Mo., Nov. '..--About 12
o'clock last night Low Don, an itinerant
Chinese lecturer and musician, dropped
dead in this city. For the past live years
Low Don has given his lectures on Chi
nese customs in nearly every town of
Missouri, KansHs, Iowa and Nebraska
and is well known. lie is the seventh
son of the seventh son of the Fevenlh son
and the Chinese are in mortal dread of
him, believing that lie is in lei.gue with
the evil one. It was with difficulty that
any of them could be pieyailed upon to
attend the coroner's inquest this morning.
His death wss the result of hard drink.
Nows From Stanley.
London, Nov. 7. Advices from St
Paul dj Loanda state that news has been
received there from Henry M. Stanley
under date of September 8, to the effect
that his expedition left the camp he es
tablislied about eight days' journey from
the Mabodi country and was advancing
toward the western shore of Albert Ny-
anga. The men were greatly fatigued
and struggled with difficulty over a dis
tance of several kilometers.
A VIOLET.
A violet dewy and dainty and blue.
With the delicate fresliuess of heaven's own hue.
And my love, sweet love, with ht r ripe, red lips.
Sweeter than flowers where the wild bee sips,
Pressed a Ion? kiss on the petals fair.
To gladden my soul as I left her there.
"Keep it. dear love, and though far away.
It wiil tell what my lips refuse to say."
So I kept it for many a ions, lonf? day,
I keep it now and 1 will alway.
For withered and dead, its dainty hue
Still tells me a story of love most true,
Tells mo the story i love to hear
Of the life thr.t has grown so heavenly de--
Aud the old. old tale rows tiresome, never.
For the hand that gave it is mine forever.

CONCERNING THE BEAN QUESTION.
Kccipes from a. lte!o:i Where Beans Can
Never Jle Cooked.
"What is ycur recipe for baking beans?"
The question was uskel of several individ
ual;; of extended exxrionce.
Landlord Allen, of tho Hotel Hamilton,
who sat over apaiust tho big and finely
painted screen that adorns his tlining room,
nud bears an excellent likeness of that lover
of good things, Louis Leib, in the makeup of
FalstaiF, had no decided opinion as to baking
biiuns, but his former business partner, whj
was with him, said: "I wouldn't bake them.
I would fry them. Boil them three or four
hours, then drain them, put them in a spider
with salt iork, and fry them to a rich
brown."'
John Snelling, tho warm personal friend of
St?nator ilahone, said: "Down south thc-3'
have a habit of cooking the boaus according
to the approved mvthoi and then mashing
them. I am fond of Wans, but I did not
learn Low to Lake them until I came hero.
I soal; them until they become soft, put them
i:i u:i earthen jar with a little iork, season
v. r.h penpsr and salt, turn a Jittlo molas-.es
c:i the top of them, put the jar in tho oven
and let the bcunj bake. 1 tAwuya cook them
inyaelf, and I imagine I know how to do it
well."
"I have not yet becomo thoroughly ac
quainted with tho baked lxjan," said Bill Nye.
"Up in Laramie, where I held office, baked
beans were unobtainable at any price. Th:
altitude of Laramie, like the prices that rule
there, is very high, and it was found impos
sible to boil beans there with any degree of
success, let alone baking them. Tho only
way they could bo cooked was to put a littfe
salratus in the water in which they were
boiling, but under the best conditions the
beans are liable to be about as hard and un
palatable as marbles."
Thoy have a tradition in Germany that
beans can only bo properly cooked when
soaked in clear spring water. Tho host of
Heim's restaurant on Twenty-seventh street,
whose recipe did net materially differ from
that of the other epicures, was very particu
lar as to tho maimer that they should bo
soaked and prepared be fore bating. Ha soaks
them about four hours and then bakes them
in a dripping pan with a little piece of scored
pork. Mr. Hill, the theatrical manager, who
is a typical Yankee ar.d on adept at baking
beans, believes that they should be soaked or
parboiled, drained and then put in a sheet
iron box. A hole in the ground should bo
hollowed out and a lire built in it. When the
burning has gono on long enough to make
the desired degreo of heat remove tho brands,
put in the box of beans with a piece of pork
on top of it, cover up the box and let the con
tents gradually but surely reach the desired
decree of perfection. New York Evening

ball for girls. Ho sa-s it is an exhilarating
game; and would prove highly beneficial to
young ladies who ero apt to be morbid cr
hysterical.
Meat juice and tho scrapings cf raw beef
are sometimes given to sickly children. Tho
