Louis Linj, the aiiniclii.t, will nt;versivak a-ain. (uiek, awful a.s was t vcr ati act if his Creator, the voice that cried "Ilocliedie anarchic" was turned to .silence for ever, What seemed a tni'.'.lh -d. horriMe -cho of the fearful lioinl at the Haymarkct came sud den !y in his lone cell this morning. That instant the man's face, which. ls lyinij his iic-r.d-liko deed. lias seemed lteautiful as an arch::ni.Ts was made a revolting mass of llood and shreds of tangled lle.s'i. Louis Ltn.i; was triuinjih ant, despite all huiiian efforts, he has cf-fai-ed from even hi-! countenance every trace of God's ini aire. For a:i inslant Liny's f;!iiv.1. stood sttii i.'ied, then came other o;iir.l-5 to 111 scene, an.l Jailor l"lz onuud tiie cell in which Lin was ctintinil an I sc;vernl LC'iards o;it!c ri t.l his !ody and carried il to a hath room where In: was laid on the lloor, to all abearance dead. Louis Linij ended his life hy means of a fulminating ca;). lie held the cap iu his mouth and lit it with the cntidle which was huniin in hi ce 1. The ex plosion was the lirst warning the jail people had, the ;3'iurd seeing him witii the candle in his hand supposing that he was lighting a cigar. From the effects of the explosion half of his lead was lilown away. The entire lower half of the once handsome face was gonr-, in chiding thr? upper l:p and jaw and an under fraction of the nose. Wheie it had l.:cn was now a jagged hlocdy gn). extending across to the ears and down to th-f a lam's ajipie. "(Jpcu your eyes, Lingg," xclaimcai the j ill doctor, who had juat reached the room. To the astonishment of the bystand ers, Lingg's eves opened and looked calmly about him. lie was immediately raised to a table, propped up with pil lows and was washed hurriedly. White cloth bindages were passed around the lower part of his face and around the top of his head, hiding all but his nose, eyes and forehead, all the loose, dangling bones and flesh being first cut away. A gutt i percha mouth of a fountain syringe was insta ted into the great hole left by tlu dynamite. Uy this method water and brandy was administered. This was I"t'!,eaU't1- !lt ''nervals, Lingg mcanwhue gi'.'mg steadfastly around him, watch- n'trr m tion of those ill the room, but ; : apjiateiuiy iuuuililiu iu J and caring nothing about tlnj almrist ceasele-s slamming of the door only a few feet distant. Lingg moved his long, sinewy right arm easily his left hand was torn by dynamite and without trouble wrote in G iin m simple directions as to raising Kim ir ilw lil-f li-.'von 1 a jdanee of rt'('a'tit,n to Cap.tain 151 ick, wlto came into th-rom for a moment and said, "poor fellow," there was nothing to break the horrible agony of the six mor tal hours' wait for death's approach. Rev. Dr. Bolton, the Methodist minister attending Fielden, went in, but got uo answering look from Lingg. The min ister came out shaking his head helpless. HIS DKATIl. Lingg's breathing graduilly became slower, the pallor on his for.-head deep ened and a slight tilaze wns noticed in t10 ,10.v sunken eyes. Someone said, "He is dving." and the report rs made n ady for a rush to the nearest telephone. Lingg's big breast heaved once and was --till- His eves opened straight ahead with someihing of their old I'lightness. ,ut nt a whisper from the doctor the re- t .. ,.,.. ,1.,clu.f1 tf th. f. hi .bones, fallini? 1"" " t over oueanother down the narrow stair way to the courtyard iu their efforts to t. ll th j news lirst.

This is the feeling at tlio sher iffs otlie" as Lingg's cell and clothing were thoroughly si arched yesterday, and to all appearances the guards who sit. in front of his cell have watched him every minute. Lingg h:u always hiea regard ed as tin; most desperate anarchist of the lot. It was he who manufactured the bombs for the haymarket riof. and in whose cell the bombs were found lust Sunday. A i ter 1 he affair.' when his cell was searched, another candle wis found. At the top of it, barely concealed by the ends of the wick, A SIXONIJ r PI.. MI NAT INC. CAP was found. So it is supposed that Lingg's attempted fcuicide was committed with one similarly hidden. Candles were furnished by the jail, so that the caps must have been pat in by Lingg himself. Ai ALI.tOibU CONFKSSIO.W Ciiioaoo, Nov. Hi. An extra edition of evening papt r says that the follow ing dispatch was received by Captain Ulack last night: Xkw Ydkk. Nov. 10.

Spi;i.N(-i- ii-i.i), Hi., Nov. 10. -The d eisiou of the governor was announced in front of tile executive mansion at 7 o'clock prompt by the private secretary. Fielden unci Schwab were committed to imprisoiuuen' for life.- The ic.-.t were de nied clemency. Thus Spies, Fischer, l'arsons and Lugcl will hang to-morrow. The following is the decision in full: State of Illinois, Executive Otiice, Springfield, Nov. 10, ibT. On the X'Oth day of August, UiSO, in Cook county ciiminnl court, August Spies, Albert 1 'ar sons, Samuel Fielden, .Michael fcehwab, Adolpii Fiscuer, George Engel and Loi;;s L'ngg were fouinl guilty bv the verdict of u jury and a Iter ward senlcnc-ed to le hanged for the murder of Matthias De can. An appeal was taken Irom such hading and sentence to the supreme court of the state. The court, upon liual hearing and after mature deliberation, unanimously atiirmtd the decision of the court lit low. Tiie case now comes before me by the petition of the defendants for consideration as g vernor of the state. If the letters of Albert i'arsons, Adolph Fischer, George Engel ami Louis Lingg demanding "unconditional release," or, as they express it, "liberty or d ath,"and protesting in the strongest language against mercy or comniutrition of the sen tence pronounced against them, can be consi iered a petition, a pardon, could it be granted, which might imply any guilt whatever upon the part of either of them, would not lie such vindication as they demand. Executive intervention upon the grounds insisted upon by . the four above named persons could in no proper sense be deemed an e xercise of the con stitutional power to grant reprieves, com mutations and pardons, unless used upon the belief on my part of their entire inno cence of the crime of which they stand convicted. A careful consideration of the evidence in the record of the trial of the parties, as well as of all alleged and claimed for them outside of the record, has failed to produce upon my mind any impression tending to impefteh the ver dict of the jury, or the judgment of the trial court or of the supreme court alarm ing the guilt of all these parties. Satis fied, therefore, as I am of their guilt, I am pn-ehided from considering the ques-ti-ai of commutation of the sentences of Albert It. Parsons, Adolph Fischer, George Engel and Louis Lingg to impris onment in the penitentiary, as they em phatically elcelare they will not accept such commutation. Samuel Fielden. Michael Schwab and August Spies unite in a petition for " xecutive clemency." Fielden and Schwab in addition present seperate and supplementary petitions for commutation of sentence. While, as said above, I am satisfied oi the guilt of the parties as found by the verdict of the jury, which was sustained by the judg ments of the courts, a most careful con sidvration of the whole subject leads me to the consideration that the sentence of the lav. as to Samuel Fielden and Michael Schwab may be modified as to each of them in the interest of humanity r.n l without doing viob-nfe to public .jn- ticc. L And as to the said Samuel Fielden and ! Michael Schwab, the sentence is commut ed to imprisonment for life. As to all the other above named defendants, I do not feel justified in interfering with the sentence of the court. While I would gladly have come to a different conclu sion iu regard to the sentence of th de fendants. August Spies, Adolph Fi-vhcr. George Engol, Albert IL Parsons and Louis Lingg, I regret to say that under I th : solemn sense of the ob!irations of my oilice, I have been unable to do so. (Sigiij HichahuJ. ( );i.ii:v. Go vernor.

A private letter rec-i ved by a gentleman in this city from Chaplain McCube conveys the in formation that the books of the Metli o list Mission Board show that during the past fiscal year the stun of $1,04-1,000 has been raised for missions. One year ago Chaplain McCabe set. out on his great task of raising "a million for mis sions," from collections only, and the result shows that he has succeeded in doing more than that. The Cnapl ::a has been doing three m m's work during the year. II : concludes his letter with the words: "It is a great victory." Convicted Himself. Paxton, HI.. Nov. 10.
