Par.-ou.s and Mrs. Holmes theio at the time the bomb exploded , On cross-examination It was shown that MnlbifT wns clearly Identified with most of thopiomincnt anarchists of tlilsrountiy. John Hollavny , nn Kiigllshman. said ho was close to the wagon during nil of thoM M > ealniK ; and denied that Kielden made USD ol tlio expression , "Hcie comes the bloodhounds - hounds , " lofeirniR to the police , andsnld : ho could not have hetin mistaken. When naked to point tiples , Parsons nnd Klelden , ho pointed outSchwali , Kleldon nnd PatHuns In their older , and having done this on cross- examination , was excused. Heniy Uhulemi'.vcr , n rnlsnmliicr , tpstlfird that he had occasion to search the closet In thu Atbclter Xelttnn ; olllce , where deadly ex plosives \\cio loiiml by the police Slay , and declined that henw none there on that day. This was olfeied to convi-y the view that tlio police took the explosives ttiero lor the purpose - pose of convicting Sjilcs and Schwab. On cross examination It was shown that witness had loim been an Intimate of Spies and was on the bond of Spies' brother. Tin1 court then adjourned tot ! p. m. The two witnesses examined thlsaltcrnoon whoie testimony lias most hc.irlng on the case , weio Henry Spies , mother of the de fendant of Ihat mime , and William Snjder. "ho latter wild he was thlrlj-li\o yeais old and a hoelallst. "Wheio liavo you been for the past two months or so' . " ' asked Captain Black. "In the county jail. " "Under Indictment for conspiring in con- connection with the liaymaikef.1" "Yos. " Witness then related how he acted as chairman at the meeting heldat the Aibeltcr Xoltuug oftlco early on the evening of Mnj 4. , The niectlnc , ho said , w.is tor the purpose of nldingMi.i. I'm sons' movement to assist the HRwIug gills. 1 he defense de.shed to show by this ti'stlmony that the meeting nt the Aibeltci Xoitung had no i elation to the sub sequent eVents of the Haymarket. Witness then testified that ho went to the Haymatket meeting and get Into the wagon occupied by the speakers. He was theio when the police came up and the bomb ex ploded. The only impmlmit points in his testimony were Ins stutemcnts that Snies did not leave the speaker's wugon dining the meeting nnd that Klelden did not lite at the polku. In his crosi-oxnmination of tlio witness , ( iriuncll asked if the A met lean irroup , of which he had testified lie was a member , ever met foi the puiposo ol going tlnough mill- tnrv evolutions and loai nine the use of at ms. Witness lepllcd that his gioup had met seveial times lor the piupose of drilling "so as to lioable to present a good appcaianco while going to picnics. " Tim gioup had no nrms lu its possession , however , and had never met for the purpose ot leaining their use. IJefoio leaving tiie com I room witness ahoolt hands warmly with each of > tue defend ants. His demeanor and language thiotigh- out indicated that lie firmly'believed himself to bo n innityr of a most nghtcous cause. "Hnnry Sjiies , you may taice the stand , " said Captain Black. Henry Spies is brother to Spies , ( ho ac cused , nnd the announcement that ho was to take the bland caused quite n llutter in the court loom. Theio wns nothing sensational in his ti'btlmony. however , except his slate- munt , made under oath , that the story he told the olllceis who were sent to nirest him nnd told state's attorney altetwaul , was n I'alirication from beginning to end. Ques tioned by Captain Block , witness said he at tended the llaym.ukel meeting witli his blether August ; that Auglist nnd himself , ( hiding that Parsons had not airl\ed , went ns far as Union stieet in.scaicli of him ; that they letmned shortly to the speakois' wagon nnii Spies opened up the meeting. "Did you wo Schwab at the meeting ? " Eked Captain Black. Witness answered in effect that lhomh ho wns nt the meeting Irom bciinnln < ; to end , nnd nil oCthls time in sinhtot his brother , ho did not once see Schwnb. This contradicts the statement of Thompson , a witness lor the ' state , who said Spies and hehwab , pievlous to speaking , walked together from the wncon to Union Direct and back. Wit ness then related how ho stood be side the wagon during tlio speaking ; how. when the bomb exploded , ho bellied his brother to alight from the wagon , and how ho struck down a revolver aimed nt his biother , receiving the ball In bis own body. Ho be came sonaiated fiom his brother nnd went homo to ha\e his wound dicsM'd. . "Did your brother hay anything when the bomb hxplodedV asked Capliln Black. " _ He said ho thought it was a Gallium -jfUU. " "Did Spies leave the wagon at an v time dining tlio meeting and go toward the ul- JoyV" "No. Ho remained m the wagon. " This contradicts the testimony of Gllmcr , who siij she saw Spies light the fuse of the bomb In the alley. i "Did you not toll the police who went to nuest you , and lound jou sick in bed from the eflects of 3 our wound , nnd tell mo later on that you \\ero not at the Haymarket meeting nt all , but were In a saloon near /opf's hall , and coming to thn door weio shot ? " "Yos ; that Is what I sMil. " "Well , did yon He then or now ? " " 1 lied then ; now I urn under oath and tell the truth. " Witness explained that two of his brothers being already under aricst , nnd ho having heard of their ticatment by the olllceis , thought Ubest toieUdn Ills liberty , If pos sible , Augu.st Kruejri'r , who said hn wns oulerly MiL'uuit and coircioncUng | .U'eietmy for the Lchrnnd Wohr veusin , was also dkcovoied to liavo lied in lib Ilr t statcmuntH to tlio otll- curs.

Discriminating Ajrnlnst Omnhn. "Talk about tlio railroads discriminat ing against Omaha , " remarked a live stock man at the slock yards yestorday"if the citizens of Omaha knew one-half of what wo shippers do , thov would raise a howl that would bo heard as far as Omaha is known. Why , I was up to O'Ncil , in Holt county , on the line ot the Klkhorn Valley road , the other day , and by acci dent learned that the road wab hauling fitook to Chicago for $50,00 per car. Of course that was not an open rate , and was only a private arrangement with hoavyshlppors. I inquired the rnto to Omnha , as I did not care to go to Chicago cage , and what do you think thoyhud the face lo ask mo ? They wanted $18.00 to Omalia , with $3.00additional charges per car for switching down to the stock yards , making the rate to Omaha yards $51.00 , or $1.00 per car moro than to Chicago. I believe it is nil right for a roiul to work for the long haul , but when it comes to charging moro for hauling n car from O'Neill to Omaha than from O'Neill to Chicago , it Is going too far. This is only one case , but i ! you will go to the trouble of investigating for yourself you will find the iamo thing Is going on all over. Of coinyo , these cut riitos nro'kept very quiet , and the railroad ollieors will stand M might up ami look yon straight in the eye and declare by all that la great and good that tl.oy are not cutting rates. It Is only when yon got on the inside that yon learn the truth , or when someone who is on the insuio takes a little too much and Jots thu cat out of the has ; . Wo hvo .slock men nud farmers are rcullv to hlame for tins , for if wo wore only willing to spend little time wo oonld get men into the legislature ) who would look after the interests of the state and not allow us to bo robbed on every hand.

H appears Unit An derson , who had buon stopping at the house for .sovcial da .s , complained of being ill and retired to his room early in the evening. This was the last soon of him until no \ \ as discovered by the per ter. Ho had removed his coat and vest and laid down on the bed before shooting liim.sclf. In his right hand was found a small ! W-oalibre revolver with which ho had performed the deod. The bullet entered his head just behind his left ear and wa.s found lodged in the skull just above the left eye. The victim was n young man , a Dane , not more than twenty-live venrs of ago , smooth shaven and neatly dressed. Tim people nt the hotel knew nothing of the young imin , nn he had boon very quiet white around the hotel and talked with no one. A letter was found in the young man's coal addressed - dressed to " 11.

After the remains had boon removed to the coroner's of fice the letter was opened and road , di.s- closing the roiison for the young man's f-elf destruction. It was the old .story of disappointed lovo. Ho wrote his friend that lii sweetheart hud jilted him and ho did not euro to live longer , lie bogged of his friend not to think him foolish for ending his own life , bill ho could not live longer with any degree of happiness and had decided to kill himself , lie gave the addresses of Ins father and mother , who live in Don mark and .said that he had written and told them that lie had been accidentally shot in Omaha. He asked that his parents should never know the real fur us concerning his death and re quested his friend to write and tell them he had died from the ell'ects of the acci- cental shooting. The remains will bo buried by the county to-day. A Stranger Dies by Ills Own Hand , The first Miicido for bo\crnl months past was reported yesterday to Coroner Drexel. The victim svas George Perry , a man about forty or lifry years of age , who hail but a day or so sineo arrived in the city and who wasstoppingata board ing house keep by Mr. J. II. Kceily , ! U7 North Sixteenth .street. On Tuesday night Perry landed at the Union Pacific depot , having come as ho informed se\ oral por.sons , from Denver. He announced that ho was a cook iu search of a position , and was reailv to accept anything provided there was i. , money enough in it to support himself. , / * * Ho came to Mr. Ueedy's house on North ' Sixteenth street , Tues'day afternoon , and asked to engage a room , lie was as signed to an apartment in the rear part of the house , .second fatory , and wont away , promising to pay in ad vance as boon as he should come back. That night , ho did not retuin , but the next morning about 0 o'clock put ill an appearance and went up stairs to his room. Ho slept nearly all day , and when Mr. Keedy went into bio room Wednesday night was slumbring heavily. Nothing moro was , seen or neard of him alive. Yesterday morning about 7 o'clock Mrs. Kceily heard a faint pistol shot , but thought nothing more of the matter until about anuartorof ten o'clock , when Mr. Reedy burst open the door into Perry's room and found that the stranger had committed biiicide. Ho was half sit ting in a chair placed by the bed and had partially fallen backward upon the bed , his hands thrown around his head and the revolver lying near by. The blood was still oo/mg out from a wound in his breast , directly over his heart , A small pool of blood was found on the floor and blood was spattered os'or his hands and the coverlet. The expression on his face was one of almost perfect calm. Death must have been instantaneous nnd pain less. less.Such was the sight which mot Mr. Ru dy's horrified gaze. He at once notified the coroner , who , after ipaking a brief preliminary examination , held an in quest , which developed the facts as stated. above. Very little could be lenincd about the man , as when alive he had been very reticent about his all'airs. lie was a trillo deaf , and not at all inclined to conversation on any topic Mrs. Rudy informed the reporter that ho had been rather gloomy , which circumstance wns probably due to his faijuru to secure work , The jury , after deliberating over the ease and hearing all the evi Jeiico , re turned a verdict ot suicide. / Coioner Drexel made a thorough y search of the man's two satchels , with a view to ( lulling out .some further facts about his identity and past residence.
