The Supremo Court of Illinois Af
firms tho First Court's
Decision.
All Sovon Must Hang.
Ottawa, III., Sept. M The opinion in
the anarchist cast; was written ly Judd
Maruder, of tli Cliicao district, and is
mi alilu exposition of the law and previous
interpretations thereof, ly eminent juribts
in tho country, ns well as of couita bear
ing upon alleged and perhaps real errors
in record. In this work he was ably
helped by each of the other su distin
guished judges who made him their
spokesman, and through him expressed
their unanimous decision. The opinion
covers 223 pages of closely written man
uscript, and contains about 5C,000
words.
TIIK S'.'KNK IN THE COUKT.
Chicago, 111., Sept. 14. At V:'.iO this
morning Justice Magruder began the an
nouncement of the decision in the an
archist case. Just before the opening of
the court every one seemed to have a
feeling that something was going to hap
pen. Uefore the hour for the convening
of the court, the lawyers and reporters
se;-med to have that feeling and conv'"c
ed with each other in subdued U .
Even Barker, the janitor, who has waited
upon fv tv iu-di"-' of th'? u'Wino court
that sac o.i '. ii . ' .i -.i.. .. . ; , toed
around in the opening and dusting of
the court room as if he were afraid of
bre kmg the deathly stillness that pre
yaded the entire buil ling. Deputy
Smith faltered, and his voice trembled,
as he pronounced that "hear ye! ye!" As
the justices tiled into the court room,
headed by Chief Justice Sheldon, they
appeared more dignified than ever. The
chief justice waved his associates to their
scats even more stately than was his
wont, and his nod to the sheriff was
more stiff, and his "open court" less audi
ble than on previous days of tho term.
Justice Magruder appeared flushed and
nervous as he entered the court room,
the tause of which was evidenced a few
mo ju-nts later, when Chief Justice Shel
don turned to him, and in a voice which
would have been inaudible save for the
deathly stillness which prevaded the
room, said: "Justice Margruder, have
you any announcements to make?" The
llushed appearance of tli3 justice changed
to that of palor, and his voice was husky
is he responded: "In August Spies and
others against the people of the state of
Illiuois, No. 5!), advisement docket."
The cheif justice nervously turned the
eaves of the court docket to the case in
dicated, when the justice read the decis
ion of the court in the "anarchist case."
Vs he commenced reading he regained
his composure. His voice was clear and
distinct, until the order fixing the death
penalty and d it j of execution was reach
ed, when j
IHS KKADlN'a BECAME LABORED,
lis voice husky, and his m inner showed
that it was with great emotion that he
performed tlu duty that he had been
jdven by his associates to perform. Hav
ing voiced the decision of the court in
the most celebrated case it had been
c tiled upon to decide, the justice who
made the announcement at 'once left the
bench and retired to li!3 room. The oral
announcement was: The judgement is
affirmed in No. 59, on the advisement
calendar, Sjic3 ft al. vs. the peojde.
In this case the judgement of the court
below is afiirmed, as to all the plaintiffs
in error. An opinion has been
prepared setting forth the reasons
for the affr mation of judgement.
The opinion is now handed to the clerk
to be filed." Chief Justice Sheldon
tarted to fix the date of execution, when
Judge Mulkey, interruptingly said: "It
is not my intention to offer a eeperate
opinion, as I should have done. I de
sire to avail nivself of this occasion to
sav, that while I concur m the conclusions
reached, and also in the general views
entered in the opinion filed, I do not
wish to be understood as holding that
the record is free from error, for I
do not think it is. I am, nevertheless,
of opinion that none of the errors com
plained of, are of such a serious charac
ter as to require a reversal of judgement.
In view of the number of defendants on
trial, the vast amount of testimony offered
and passed upon by the court and the al
most numberless rulings the court was
require! to mike, the wonderment to us
is that errors were not mo re numerous
anil of a more serious character. In
short, after hnviug fully examined the
' i i ii. -
from it my very best thought, with an
earnest and conscientious desire to faith
fully discharge my wholo duty, I am
fully satisfied that the opinion reached
Tindicates the law and does complete J
justice between the people and the do
fondants, and is fully warranted by the
law and the evidence."
Chief Justice Sheldon then made tho
following announcement:
THE PRNTENCK.
"In this cas?, the court orders that the
sentence of the criminal court of Cook
county on the defendants in indictment
August Spies, Michael Schwab. Sam
uel Fieldeu, Albert B. Parsons, Adolph
Fischer, George Engel and Louis Lingg,
be carried int effect by tho sheriff, of
Cook county on Friday, November 11,
next, between the bourn of 10 o'clock in
the forenoon and 4 o'clock in the after
noon of that day."
MUNCH RATH'S DEFENSE.
His Father, Mother and Sister Tes
tify in His Behalf to Establish
an Alibi.
Siocx Citv, Sept. 14. In the Haddock
case to-day a number of witnesses were
examined to show the previouB good
character of defendant Munchrath and
his movements on the night of the mur
der. Defendant's father, mother, and
sister testified that he was at his father's
house at 10:23 when the fatal 6hot was
tired. The report of a revolver being
heard in the house, and mentioned by his
mother. "When he left there he was ac
companied by his father and went direct
ly home, about a block distant, Late
in the afternoon Munchrath took the
stand and testified that ho attended the
saloon keepers' meeting on the evening
of Aug. 2, 1880, but nothing was said
about "doing up" Haddock or any one
else, the session lasted only about five
minutes, lie told in minute detail of
his movements on the night of the mur
der and said he first heard of the parties
going out in a hack to watch Haddock
while in Junk's saloon. He hailed Mur
phy's hack out of curiosity to see who
went, thinking that their hack, no left
the crowd at Junk's and went direct
ly east to his father's house, arriving
thereat the time indicated in the testimo
ny of his parents. He did not go west
from Junk's with the crowd as stated by
Leayitt and Bismark, and did not know
how many did go. nor did ho know of
any r.vrangemcnt to do Haddock injury.
He d nied all statements by Leayitt as to
the proceedings of the meeting at Ilelden
ried's, and in this was crioborated by
Simons, Arensdorf and others, The
cross examination was long and will
probably be continued to-murrow.
A Bsdeckod Stock Train From
Caldwell, Kan. to Chicago.
Chicago, Sept. 14. A decorated stock
train arrived at the stockyards yesterday
over the Rock Island road from Cald
well. Kan. There were sixty -six cars in
the train, elaborately bedecked with
banners and streamers, displaying the
names of the owners and consignees,
and setting forth the glory of Caldwell
and the extension of the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific railroad, which has just
reached there. The owners of tho stock
came in a Pullman sleeper attached to
the train.
CHICACO MARKETS
Chicago, Sept. 14. The run of native
cattle was not very heavy, but it was
more than ample. There was a liberal
supply of all kinds of cattle, and buyers
having such a large lot to select from,
were naturally very indifferent and slow
to take hold. Bids were 10 to 15c lower
on good ones aud 15 to 23c lower on
common ones. The sales were made
very unevenly. Prices, as a salesman
said, were just as you could catch them,
and a lot of cattle at $4.25 might be
better quality than a lot sold at $4.35.
Prices on an average were 10c lower, but
very irregular. A considerable volume
of business was done and the market
was not a bad one at the price. Receipts
12,000; shipments, 2,700. Ths market
was fairly active and prices 10c lower.
Shipping steers, 1330 to 1500 lbs, $4.50
to $5.30; 1,200 to 1,350 lbs, $3.90 to
4. GO. Stockers and feeders, steady at
$1.70 to 3.10; cows, bulls and mixed,
dull and weak, the bulk of sales being
at $1.23 to $3.25. About 3,500 Texas
and 4,000 far west cattle were on sale.
Texans sold at $1.93 to $3.00. "Western
rangers sold at $3.S0 to $3.75 for natives
and half breeds, and 2.60 to $3.60 for
wintered Texans; cows, $2.25 to $2.60.
Hogs Estimated receipts, 17,000; last
Wednesday, 13.9G0; week so far, 49,369;
same time last week, 37,098. Trade was
brisk with little or no variation in values
as compared with the close of yesterday.
A few closely assorted heavy, nearly at
good as Pliiladelpliias, sold at $'5.45 to
$5.50. Nice butcher weights, $3.35 to
?5.40. The best packing sorts sold at
?5.30 to 5.35; coarse and medium, $5.10
to f5.25; light sorts, $5.00 to $5.33.

The Dress of tho Athlete.
It is paradoxical, but true, Uiafc ttldetos do
not get th most enjoyment out of outdoor

They don't know how to dred for it Al
though knowing he iu to ha out iu tha blister

smallest tight fisting aap he oan, which will
afford the least shads of anything he oau

latter mistake.
It could be easily avoided and tin blood
given the most unrestricted flow by the us
of a litrlo common sense and the hos sup
porter worn by tho other sex, which supports
the long stockings by moans of a band passing
around tho hips. The reason why athletes do
v.ot use this more is because they havoan idea
that the band compresses the abdomen. This
it docs not do. There Is a little depression in
the hip bones into which the band - falls, and
from which it will not slip. The inhabitants
of Belgium utilize this provision of nature by
suspending all their alothlug for the lower
limbs from the hips, leering thfr shoulders
free. Certainly if heavy clothes ran b ad
vantageousely suspended from the htps a pair
of hose can. It would seem that the athletes
should try to darive tho most benefit possible
from the open air, and not studiciously make
every condition or dress toll against securing
