kct on the ovonlmc of May 4 , but tmly tor a
few minutes. Ho tostlllod that he wns at
XepP.s hall when tlio bomb exploded , nnd
na > s he s.Paisons there ilvominutesbofoio
the bomb exploded , nnd nays ho saw P.it-
eoiis , Mis. 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

to liavo lied in lib Ilr t statcmuntH to tlio otll-

The "Good Samaritan" "Work.
The interest shown in the gospel tem
perance work at the Buckingham , by the
tempted and homeless young men in our
city , has made our following the example
set by the Good Samaritan not only a duty
but a pleasure.
The friends of this cause should attend
the meetings frcauontly , and see for
themselves if the result of the last six
months work is not compound interest on
the money expended.
The young men of the city are cor
dially invited to join cither the Reform
club or the Blue Ribbon club , they botli
work witli the union in saving the vic
tims of intemperance. Interesting facts
could bn given almost ; without limit , as
they are of hourly occurrence , but the
newspaper space so generously given
when needed must not bo crowded.

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. "

have to bo In excess of the avcrnco In older
that nt tlib Isl of August the proper balance
could be .struck. Tills has not been the case. '
Starting with n deficiency nt the 1st of July ,
the averaeo e\en has not been maintained
The result of this condition at the first of Au

July. In some places , as DCSMolnes , Daven

ot' rain has been very gioat. Some rain has
fnllcn since the irst ! , of August , but has been
much less than has been reported. The bu
reau repoits that the situation has brightened
about 10 per cent since the last report , The
linal estimate of the corn crop yield is put at
l.f 00,000,000. The estimate of wheat remains
the same as that made In July , namely , 40V

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.
Nothing of this ort was found in the
BatcholK , however. In them wore , bo-
Bides a mificellanooii.s assortment of
rnznrs , shaving tools , clothing , eto. , u
Catholio prayer IJOOK , manual ot cooking ,
receipt hooks , and works on various
sporting tonics. The latter largely predominated -
dominated , showing that lliu bincule had
been a man ot sporting proclivities.
A letter was found written by a young
man in SI , Paul , who wns quite evidently
the iinfortnnuto mnn'ri Kin. II throws
Jittlo mystery on the subject , as showing
that Perry had had misfortunes ttnd was
eoiiiicnuohtly .suffering from tlio blows.
