Ciiit'Aoo, Nov. 10. 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

n'trr m tion of those ill the room, but

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.

way to the courtyard iu their efforts to

While the reporters were tumbling ami
running, the doctor raised Lingo's rigiit
arm. It f U back on the tilde limp.
An attend ant's right and h-ft fore lingers
were laid on Lingg's fon he id and pudu d
the eyelids shut In a moment the litilt;
room was empty of all but tli: gastly
corpse of Lomb inaki r Louis Lingg.
A THAI i'll IN ( AMP.
lbw dynamite was snurnlcd iiito the
( !1 is not k:i iv:i, Unt it is geie'rally be
lii.'Ved Ihere is a traitor among the tlenUi
w itch who g avt: him the dynamite and
and cap. 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. Captain li'.ack,
Chieaifo: 1 hold prooT showing thy sea
ti-iiovil anarchists to be innocent. The
guilty man is in N-w York and located.
Have telegraphed to Governor Oglcsbv.
I'roof under oath. How shall I eominn

Tin: ;uVK5. son's isiox.
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.

Wa::s;i. I d.. Nov. 11. 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."
