THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY.. JUNE 20; 1879=SIXTEEN PAGES. THE SOCIALISTS. Several Howls Against the New noe _ Militia Law. > A Collection for the Benefit of the : Bohemians .in Jail. ae The Communistic Legislators Explain “Their Action at Springfield. ‘A mass-meeting, called bv the ‘General Board” of Lebr und Webr Verein, was ‘held in the West Twelfth Street Turner-Hall ‘last even- ing for the purpose of considering the matters of “military organizations of workingmen, the ‘Military Dill, and the, Silver Grove affair.” ‘There were about 1,000 persons present. Capt. frank Bielfeldt, of, the Lehr und Webr Verein, ded. resi JOHN M’AULIFF ins the first speaker. He started out by saying that he proposed to discuss. sn important sub- ject,--one .regarding the welfare not alone of ‘the Bohemians, Germans, and Irish-Americans, put the welfare of humanity; one which in- xolved 2 principle, 2 right, a liberty which esch snd every one should have the privilege of enjoying. He would confine his yemarks to the “ Military bill,” but reterred to the organization of the First Regiment by the “patent-lesther mob,”.-who would not let priaters enlist, but wanted only their clerk knowing that they could be used. .;The Fi was a political organization—Republican. Dei ocrats saw this,—that they were taken ata ais-. advantage; 80, the Republicans having “backed the ballot-box with ballot,” they were forced to do the same. “Hence the Second Resiment was formed. Both were against the Socialists. The Jatter were not the first to take up arms. ‘After the Republicans and Democrats had chosen what weapons should be used, the Lehr und Webr Verein came into being. if any odium attached to the existence of this armed semi-military, semt-political orzaniza- tion, the capitalistic class was responsible, and not the wage-workers. [Applause] Thera were several military organizations which, while nota part of the Socialistic party, yet sympa- thized with it,—vored and worked for it. [Ap- plause] The Lebr und Wehr Verein and the Bobemian Guards had a charter, signed by the Governor, and there was nothing irregular in their proceedings. He believed that gangs of roughs were sent out by those in power for the purpose of gaining a new fund of popularity to tide them over a crisis. Hickey did this on the Fourth of July. Joe Dixon was a man of the same stripe, having received : LESSONS OF TYEANNY and oppression in the same school. If the po- - live authorities had given to the ‘people’? who assembled the same protection that they gire the few who separate themsclyes from -the “people,” and call themselves the superior dass, there would be no armed bands of work- ingmen to protect their interest. When the First turned ont 100 policemen went slong to protect them {janetier}, police men . whore wages ee workingmen paid,—policemen who protected the regiment paid tosooot workingmen down with muskets dougnt by capitalists with taxes paid by work- ingmen. [Applause.] * dJokn finally got down to the bill, telling what {t Was, and saying tat the object was to gét the 8,000 men and freeze ont the Sorialistic orzan- izations. It was contrary to the spirit of re- publicanism that one man (the Governor) should te “Yon.may do this, but not that.” The Militia bill:was unconstitutional, since it was class legislation, failing to take away the right to bear’ arms from Academics, Masons, and Knights of Pythias, bot taking it- away from -workingmen. ‘Perhaps they can take it away from us,” said McAuliff, “bat it takes two to make a bargain. [Applause] A bullet fired from a gua in the hands of a mem- ber of the Lehr und Wehr Verein, the Sharp- shooters, or the Labor Guurds, would” pring down 2 ‘canary-bird’ if it’ happened to hit it, - a ‘as well ss if the ball were fired bya mem- r of the First or Second Regiment.” [Ap- plauss.] The capitalists, by organized militia iand enacting tramp laws. would force the people *2.to become outlaws, and John said he srouldn’t be surprised. to see within a year bands. of guerrillas eving upand down the {State,—bands that 100,000 militia couldn’t keep in subjection, .j, then he swore, saying, in speaking of . the A Legislature, that it, was "aa— fool Legisla- ; ture; and he went on {to abuse ‘the “people” for sending the men they did to Springfield. It was time to strear, he They (the “ peo- ple”) had lon enough CRINGED, AND SNEAKED, AND BEGGED for that which they ought to rise and take. [Ap- plause.| If they couldn’t get their’ ballots counted correctly they should increase the Lehr ‘tnd Wehr Verein, put them back of their bal- Ints, and see that their votes were counted. {Avplause.] He was in favor of ell the orzani- zations putting their gunsin one place and guarding them. The State, instead of. paying $100,000 or $200,009 a year to support the First and other regiments, to pay a guard made upof Republicans, Democrats, and Socialists, and to say, “In this dispute between capital and labor neither party shall have access to the guns.’ [Applause.] Democrats and Republicans were organized to restrain the Socialists, and the So- cislists were organized to restrain the Republic- ans and. Democrats. [Applause.] . In conclusion Mr. McAuwliff denounced clergy- men, lecturets, statesmen, aud journal- ists “as cowards and sneaks for ' not treating the iabor question in a fair and square manner. . They would-be forced ‘todoit.: Nothing could subdue Socialism. It had grasped the earth, coming from the eternal principle of truth. “When smitten on the cheek it did not submit calmly and peacefally, but gave blow for blow, and would hold the earth against all comers. (Applause. ie : . Speeches werc also made by Baumracker and Lysen, and a collection ‘was taken up to pay the Jegal expenses of the Bobemian Sharpshooters how in jail, and to help their famities, who have not been provided for on that account. “2 THEIR LEGISLATIVE” REPRESENTATIVES. A Socialist mass-mecting was held last even- ing at Folz Hall for the purpose of discussing and considering the action of their Represents~ tives in’ the Legislature. Mr. L. Korth was elected Chairman and Mr. Stern Secretary. . Ald. Christian Meyer, ex-Representative, was the first speaker. He said Jast fall their oppo- nents had many jokes to crack at the idea of weir electing Representatives. Not only the people of Chicago, but people of - other parts of the State, look upon the Socialists as supernat- ural beings; with tails and horns. When the Rep- resentatives reached Springfield, they found that ‘there was such a feeling among many members ofthe Legislature, yet there were many nicemen among tnem, who tried todo tlie fair thing, and Ubrough their aid 2 Committee on Labor and Manufactures was appointed. But the Commit- Yee that was appointed was of sach a character that but little could be gained. The Socialists made it their business to introduce such bills as ‘the platform of the party called for. - Me then read a list of the bills introduced by the Social- ist members during- the session, and tried to show the objects for which they were intro- duced. Mostof these bills went to the Com- mitice on Lubor and Manufactures. In spite of the efforts of the Socislist members, most of the bills were killed; and ‘all through the action of “that Committee on Labor and Statistics, who had not tlie faintest idea of” the Importance of these measures. . He'particularly dwelt upon the fact that the “Truck -bill? ‘Which bad passed both Houses, was vetoed by the’ Governor, and he claimed that the: Goy- etnor was induced to take this step by the very then who bad voted for it because they were: ufraid to openly go acainstit. And a particular feature was that most of the gentlemen claim- ing to: belong to the Greenback. Labor party could not see the justice of the demands of the orkingmen, and invariably acted in the inter- est of theirenemies. They had introduced a total of fifteen bilis, of which but one—that for sréating aBureau of Labor Statistics—became flaw, and he conld not comprehend how that Was’ accomplished. The Socialist members of the Legislature had done their duty: ss Well; as conld be expected. They could have seomplished more had they consented to. seil cir votes tor some of the measures of their enemies, -. But, rather. than peddle and sell their Yotes, they preferred to be beaten. If an in- Yestigation were had, it would be found that a oe was comething wrong with the condition : os workingman, and the politicians knew ae ing about it. They see the delicate child, rhose ‘education ‘and physical development in ‘ould be Jooked after, stowed away in a work- t ‘op there to become a mental. dwarf, only fit = beled ‘around by the nose as the working- ace Were led to-day, and it was the intention of rit capitalists to Keep them in that condition. Allsuch things ‘lead to strikes. - 1b ¥as but cht and proper that workingmen should join : is for mutual protection, but in this they did ot fo far enough. They must do as their. op- ‘Ponenie: @o. These men-do not. only. orfanize i talk, but they ect and work for the Success cause, 1f the wage-woriters do it ina proper ‘mauner. and. a proper way,:the time would soon cease when they would be compelled to strike. -They had. an-occurrence inthis cit¥ within a week, that would show. them the neces- sity of unity and barmony among themeetves.. ‘They bad now a party numbering 12,000 yotes, and at the last judicial election they helped elect & man who would have been defeated otherwise. From the way in which the capitalist press op- poséd Judge McAllister there can be no doubt but ne would have been defeated and their friends would bave been at the mercy of tools of the can- italists had it. not been for the Socialist vote.” Until the wage-workers understand thiir con-_ “dition, and work harmoniously and elect ma- jorities in ‘all the Legislatures of the country, their condition wouid not be ameliorated. Senator Artley was called upon for.aspeech, but did not show.up. +o te Sir. A..R. Parsons spoke next, and made one of bis usual fierce harangues. ‘The workingmen of this country were: now making a concerted movement that promised to ameliorate their condition ‘somewhat. On the Fourth“of July meetings would be held throughout the Union to advocate the reduction of the hours of labor. This was the weapon by which the workingmen intend to make themselves: free, put food on” thetr tables and place clothing on their backs. They must yote to a man to bring about. this result,'and, if they only did their duty, the-cap- itdlists would not dare to resist their demands any longer. If they make up their minds that they won’ haye these things, no power can prevent them from gaining ‘their ends. ' They could not expect from the hands of capitalistic Legislators to receive justice, and they never will, unless they are compelled to doit by their combined efforts. Atter the Fourth of July it is proposed by the Trade-Unions to begin the work of organization and amalgamation to se- cure increased pay and lesshours of labor. The Chairman then thanked the Socialist Legisla- tors, and particularly Mr. Meyer, for their course in the Legiclature, and, there being no other speaker, an adjournment was had. COURT-HOUSE STONE. The Trip of the Council Commit: teé to Bedford. Shall ‘Another Quarry Be Substituted for the Exhausted One? ‘The members of the City Council and others who visited Bedford, Ind., and Louisville, Ky., a.dew.days.ago to ascertain the real status of the stone question in connection with the new City-Hall returnea yesterday morning, and all of them expressed. themselyes as well pleas- ed with their visit. They’ were under the direc- tion of George W. Cook, the General Agent of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Railroad, which corporation has a large interest in the development of the Indiana quarries and the sale of Bedford stone, and along the route were joined by ‘J. Mf. Reynolds, Vice-President and General -Maneger, A.-B. Southard, General: Freight Agent, Col. Friedley, late Chairman of the Indiana: State. Republican Committee, and sundry other gentlemen. Be gee ‘The party left- Chicago Thursday afternoon, and reached Bedford at an early hour the next morning. Bedford is a vilage of. stone, and .at the hour of 4 o'clock, when the visitors reached there, very little else was visible,. unless pigs are.to be counted, which seemed to have the right of way onall the streets, Certainly ‘they were numerous ecough to impede Iqeomotion in almost any direction, bat a vigorous kicking awakened them, and the visitors soon had com- mand of the sidewalke. The town is one of stone. On all sides there areimmense bills, and they'are composed of stone, and a glance was enough to satisfy one on the question of the sufficiency of that material to complete the City-Ball, or a hundred such buildings. The yisitore had gone for formation, so, soon after their arrival, they repaired to what’ is known as the 4 QUARRIES OF THE BEDFORD STONE COMPANY, the concern which is furnishing the City-Hall stone. The quarries were accessible by rail, and located half a mile east of the village in quite a romautic epot, and were found to be large, but partially worked: An examination of them showea that their yield was uncertain as to evenness of color, and an investigation demonstrated that the owners had been disap- pointed in them, and also that the complaint in reference to the variety of-color in the stove used in the City-Hall was attributable to the yaricty of hues in the stone there produced. On ali hands were seen cords of material which had been quarried and condemned on account of color, and inquiry elicited the fact that the quarrying of suitable stone had been attended with so ‘great ‘an expense that if-the City-Hal’s completion depended upon that quarry alone its early finishing would be doubtfal.’ It was found thst the ‘t buff stone ” had depreciated’ in color and texture as the opening up of the stone-ficld had progressed, and that, while the blue stove was difficule of _gecess, it, too, had not kept up its color. or its texture.” These facts presented to the visitors a serious question, and, it would seem, ¢ended to confirm fhe stories of s veat or. more ago, that Bradford could not yield sufficient stone. in- vestigation, however, brought out the fact that the trouble with ‘the quarry in question was neither the quantity :or the quality of the stone,. but the expense of. getting it ont, it being demonstrated that not -more. than one foot out of every ten quarricd was fit to put into the building, not, however, on account of any de- fects except a want of harmony of color. ‘The buff stone wes found inaccessible and uncertain, and .the blue to be streaked and entirely unfit for use as: pilasters and. columns, much to the disappointment of the contractors, as well as the visitors, who had been led to expect nothing short of absolute perfection in the stone. The situation,. of course, naturally impressed the Committee, but while thus ‘acting it served to completely refute the charge of the enemies of Bedford stons t the contractors had had to Other ‘quarries to carry on the matter of Bedford quarry was adequate to meet all de- mands. ‘There . were blue and buff in any and every variety, but to quarry ten feet to get the desirable color in one foot was an undertak- ing the contractors said they were not prepared to carry on to any great extent, especially since they nad already erected $40,000 Worth of ma- chinery aud sunk $15,000 to carry the work for- ward as far as it had gone. 7 ‘After this point had been inspected the ‘visit- ors were taken to what is known as THE DARK HOLLOW QUARRIES, which are several miles west of -the village and accessible only by a narrow-gauge road. This point was found to far excel the other quarry in picturesque surroundings. ‘The edges of the bills were Hned with immense rocks, and on every hand there was evidence of the ereatest abundance of stone, and of most excellent quali- ty. Woy the spot had:been visited was for some time enigmatical, but it did not take long to solve the problem, for it.transpired that the stone was being exhibited with no other purpose than to get permission from : the Council to use it instead of the Bedford qu: prodyct to as- sist ‘In. completing the City-Hall.. The stone was found to be somewhat coarser in texture than the Bedford proper, and. by some it was put down as lichter_ in color, yet it was regard- ed as very superior in quality and inexhaustible in quantity. Certainly, the hills around afford- ‘ed every evidence of the quantity, and the.qual- ity, by comparison, was said to be unobjection- able, and superior to. the pat stone contracted for .and = now. « being.‘ used. At : least tne . visitors . 80 pronounced: it, and the Committce were especially pleased. Such of them as expressed themselves said they were in favor of allowing it to be used inetead of the Bedford, and they believed it would correspond. in color, and, op account of its apparent uni- formity. add a great deal to the beauty of the City-Hall when finished. ©. - : ‘After this the Committee visited Louisville and examined several’ buildings there made of the Bedford stone, and, whatever may be said of the variety of colors, they were unanimous in expressing a preference for Bedford over any other stone, and in agreeing that'age only added toits beauty.. They did not formally meet to give any expression of opinion, but it may be set down that they will F ‘| FAVOR ALLOWING THE CONTRACTORS to use. the Dark Hollow stone to forward the work. and the changing of the :material for col- umns and pilasters,-. since the blue-stove contracted for cannot. be gotten of sufficient uniformity. The factd are, as near as could be gained by'a reporter, that the Bedford eet to put it plainly, is a failure,—tbat is, that” it docs not yield stone suited for a building: like the Court-House, as -it was expected it would; and the completion of. the City-Hall at an early day depends upon substituting Dark Hollow for Redford etone:. This “is. the light in’ which the Committee ‘look upon the ‘situation, and, josing sieht of all outside issues, such 28 are being raised by Lawler and bis crowd, which : have no bearing whatever, they will,'u0 doubt, report to the Council-and’ reconimend that the contractors ba allowed to furnish stone from ' the: new quarry, and that the columns and pilasters be made of granite, provided the ex- ense is not too great. They will meet ina few days to consider the whole question, get stone from‘ work, and to satisty them ‘that in the variety:of color.what is known as’ the ARSON Mrs. Quinn Denies the Truth of Mrs, Baldwin's. Story, And Produces an Interesting Inventory of Her Wardrobe. The Quinn alleged arson case was resumed Yesterday morning before Justice Wilson. MRS. QUINN WAS AGAIN ON THE STAND, and her direct examination resumed by her lawyer, John Lyle King. In response to his “gentle leading, she denied the railing sccusa- tions brought against her by Mrs. Baldwin, her -ex-servant and the chief witness for the prose- cation. After this 'gencral and denial, the defendant’s counsel get in a letter purporting from .a ° man named ~ Davis specific tried” to to. come to Mrs. Baldwin, proposing to ber to come and live with “him ‘as soon as he succeeded in getting a divorce from his wife. Mrs., Baldwin, when on. the stand, had denied ever having received such a letter. .She had further, testified that Mrs. Quinn, in engaging her.to fire the-building, had” promieed to take care of her afterwards. The object of the defense in trying to work in this letter was to show that, in view of Mrs. Bald- win’s relations'to Davis, such an arrangement } and Mrs. Quinn , was. out as. wholly unnecessary. between "her of the question, In short, the defense‘wanted to contradict Mrs. Baldwin, and, aftera good, deal. of @ wrangle, . succeeded in getting it. in... Mrs. Quiun said the letter began with an invocation from Davis to “My Dearest Josie,” after which the writer went on toremind her of the pleasant times he had spent in her compauy and that of ‘other ladies, aud then proceeded to ask ber to come and live with him—not marry him—as soon as he could get a divorce from his wife, which be. expected | to obtain ina short time. Having made this point, Mrs, Quinn was ask- ed if, previous to the fire, she had-any conversa- tion with Mrs. Baldwin in reference to buroing the house, or if she:kuew anything of an intention on Mrs. Baldwin’s part to burn ft. Mrs. Quinn pat in another specific denial. Mrs. D’Arcamball’s testimony was foue‘into at some leneth, Mrs. Quinn explaining that the liquor- Grinkiile was done on a very cold winter meht, when she, Mrs.. D., and Keller went out to ~ Maywood, ~ the liquor consisting of something ‘known.as ‘whisky sling.” ‘The others drank quite as much’as she did. As to the writing done that night, to which Mrs. D. referred, it was simply a prospectus for a new paper which she and Keller started to prepare. But they got ‘to ‘talking over the prospects of the new-paper, and the. writing was given Up. ‘Mrs. D.-was simply mistaken when she testified that it had something to do with a blackmailing scheme “to brig some physician to time.” There. was, nobody to bring.to time, said Mrs. Quinn, that she kuew of In regard to the repairs made on the house, ‘Mrs. Quinn testi- fied that they cost $600 or $900. All the furni- ture in her Connecticut house—and there was 2 good deal of it—was brought out here and taken to Maywood. The box she sent toher daughter- at Jackson contained nothing which was not her daughter's property, except a Bible anda ma- genta-colored-curtain. The box sent to Airs. Morgan contained none of Mr. Quinn’s priestly |" robes, or anything of that sort. It did contain, she believed, a silver pitcher,- and something used in a Catholic Church, and a. few other } things. © The lawvers, for. the prosecution suzgested that the “something” was a contribution-box, and Mrs. Quinn adwittéd that such might be the case. Continuing, she said she wag not in need of money at the time of the fire. | A lot, ‘of manuscript copy for a hook was burned up, she supposed, for sbe hadn’t seen it since. Bhe had noe helped Mrs. Baldwin make out her proof of 1053.. ‘ HER OWN PROOF .OF LOSS was made ont, as she testified the, previous day, by Mr. Keller, to whom she and Mrs. Baldwin did-the dictating. - oe ‘This proof of loss was then gone into in de- tail for the purpose of showing by the witness that she Lad all the property:theroin mentioned, and that it was worth the prices there set down. ‘The list of articles was a prodisiously long onc, —long enough to inspire even a good-sized in- surance company with a desire to contest the claim,—and the fienres.set down were uniformly cost price, as nearly as she could remember. The total! claim was something over $10,000! No-one could hear Mrs. Quino detail the num- ber and ‘cost of ber various belongings without coming’to the conclusion that, before the fire, she must have had the ability, . had she s0 desired, to’ go about dressed in all” the splendors of a .temale- Solomon. ‘The proof bf loss dealt, among other things, in cords of housebold furniture, any amount of silk dresses, Valentiennes aud Honiton laces, opera cloaks. morning wrappers, silk stockings, nearly new, Paris drawers, corset-covers, pight- dresses, chemises, etc., etc., etc., atthe mention of which latter articles the-Court was observed to vick up some mystic yolume of forgotten Jore and fasten. his eyes on its precious pages. ‘While gne ot the counsel for the defense, Mr. Sheridan, was gingerly enumerating some of the articles which enter into the mysteries of ‘the female get-up, somebody ‘suggested a recess for lunch, and the Court, lifting up his eyes from the book, adopted the suggestion, and ordereda recess until 2 o’clock. i At the afternoon session” : MRS. SCHLUND, .- of Minooka, was called, and corroborated the statement of Mrs. Quinn’ as to the latter and ‘Airs. Baldwin not being ‘on ‘particularly good terms. Quarrels were frequent between them, | Frank (Mrs. Quinn’s son) taking nart. ‘She was familiar with Mrs. Quinn’s wardrobe, aud had seen some pretty fine clothes, notably a black dress very splendidly trimmed. On one ovca- sion, when with Mrs. Quion, a trunk-tray fall of Jace’was"upset. Witness making some re- mark about the lace, Mrs. Quinn said: “1 have to keep them under lock und key, because if ‘Aunty (Mrs. Baldwin) gets hold of them, zood- dy.” Mrs. Quinn was always extravagant in dress. 2 to On the cross she said she first became ac- quainted with Mrs. Quinn twenty-five years ago, when the Jatter was. about, 20 years old. She ‘Mrs. Q.) was then Mrs. Gamble, and lived in anada. Subsequently she moved to Jackson, Mich, Mrs. Quinn next married a Mr. Smith. When at Maywood, witness told ‘* Aunty”. that she euspected. her .of dishonesty, because. she had missed an-article from ove of her (wit ness’) trunks. Mrs, Baldwin cried, but neither denied nor admitted the theft. Withess was the one who told Mrs. Quinn that “God had sent her to ‘take care of the old “lady.”.' She did vot know’ much about. Aunty” when she recommended her to Mrs. Quinn. At Maywood, witness noticed an expensive India shawl, and trunks ‘fall of linen and clothes. Then ‘she’ told about the number of closets, what they :cdntained, and gave her estimate of the value of the -clotbing. ‘On the redirect, witness said Mrs. Quinn had never told ‘her her. i o9 EMMA SCHLUND, | ° aged 11; testified that she heard Aunty Rath (Sirs. Quinn) tell Mrs. Baldwin that if: she couldn’t cease quarreling with Frank she could pack up her things and go. She had seen her listening at doors and keyholes, and under the piano, to catch talk between Mrs. Quinn and witness’ mother. - On the cross Emma said Mrs. Quinn and her mother told her to watch Mrs. Baldwin to ses if ehe was listening to them. -They said they were to speak of something they didn’t - want her to hear. Her mother and Mra. Quinn 'some- times went to” Chicago ‘together.’ Mrs. Quinn saw Mrs. Baldwin under the piano, and said, “Ob! my God, can’t [have a place by myself! ‘The defense offered in evidenceacertificd copy of ‘packages and articles received by Mrs. Quinn at Maywood prior to the fire. Their weight was 40,000 pounds. This was an offset to the testi- mony for.the prosecution regarding goods sent away by her. ; - : B “Mrs: Quinn was recalled and testified to their receipt, and also to getting other things by the Oak Park express. The-Court then adjourned until 10 o'clock Monday morning. aes DRAWING TO AN END. ‘The Assessors had very little to contribute to the: newsgatherer yesterday.
