It was also stipulated that the bodies should be taken directly from the re- Spective homes of the deceased to the place of burial, which was some miles fcom the city. Probably half a million people in the city wit- nessed the public preparations for the funeral Ten thousand people were present in the barest, emptiest graveyard adjacent to Chicago when the corpses were buried. Muttered curses and bitter murmurs, and a cry of “throttle the law,” accom- panied tue parting words spoken over thé five ilfe- bodies. It was almost toa second the exact ume when, forty-eight hours before, the scaffold drop teil with Aucust Spies and his comrades, that the biackest of the bearses drew up at the door of nis relatives. Avout 4,000 ms were congregated on the street of ‘the block In which Spies lived when the Ume for departure of the hearse arrived. AS at the other houses Where the anarchists’ bodies lay, acopstant stream of mourners or curious sight. seers bad been since almost dayhgnt pouring through the butlding and viewing the remains. When the hearse Was standing gt the curb, Capt. Blick, the anarchists’ chief coun! Was seen step- ping out through the throng at the Spies thres- hold. Supported on his arm was a girlish figure clad in crape from head to foot. ‘he face was completely veiled from siglt and it Was generally thought It was Nina Van Zandt, but later Spies’ proxy bride was seen in another ‘carriage looking rm and defiant, not at all crushed by the terribie experience she Had passed through. ‘The most striking view of the procession was ob- tained at the corner of Lake and Desplaines streets, for it brought vividly to mind the scenes of May 4, 1886, when the bomb was thrown, It Was just 1:45 o'clock when the head of the line reached the spot. At the corner 1 the saloon and bail of Charies Zepf, the anarchist. At the hour above mentio the first line of men could be seen crossing the Desplaines street visduct, where 1 1S78 a bloody fight took place between ‘the police and the railroad strikers, ‘There was no advance guard of pollee. Chief Marshal Chas. Hepp, with two aides, led the way. They wore no red, but simple black clothes and crape on their arms, Then came a brilliantly-dressed corps of mu: dressed in the colors of the German arm: their heads spiked helmets, As this band passed Zepts Hall, Wich Was open and filled with drt ng men, Iv struck up a dirge, as did in fact every other band In the procession, and there were at least Afieen of them. Following ‘the first corps of must- clans walked the defense committee, tae men Who had charge of collecting the funds'with which it Was hoped to save the reds from their fate. Geo, nilling led the committee. Following them mnarched, eight abreast, nearly 200 members ot the Aurora Tura Verein, of which August Spies was a member. The whole society Was not out, asmany members are not in sympathy with anarchy. Four hundred of the Vorwarts Turner Society ca'.e hext, wearing red badges on their breasts. ‘This branch of the Turners is more strongly tnctured with socialism than any in the city. One hundred of the Fortschritt branch came next, and then fol- lowed the feature of the proces-lon. It was the hearse of August Spies. There were no nodding biack plumes on it, but the top Was so eo wita floral ‘tributes that nothing else could be seen. Inside was the richiy- covered casket. Standing out in bold reiiet against the biack Droadciotn of the coffin Was thrown a great sash of red silk. It was all the more striking because no flowers had been placed inside to interfere with the idea of having Spies’ beloved colors shown to the public even ter his death. ‘The crowds on the street corners craned their necks to get a glimpse of this, the most imposing of all the hearses in the pageant. Then another band wheeled into Lake street play- ing adirge. It was in front of many hundred members of the Central Labor Union, the members of Which are among the most extreme socialists of the city. Bebind them walked the black horses which drew the hearse in which lay the coffin of Adolph Fischer. His hearse had not so maby flowers on it as had that of bis comrade _ but there were enough to show that, alt ne Was « poor man, yet his fellow-soctalists had not failed to remember him. But no red silk emblem had been thrown across the casket. Then came te funeral carriage of Parsons. On the box by the driver sat a man hold- ing in his hands a floral emblem of such immense size that the inscription of flowers, “From. Knights of Labor Assembly No. 1307" could be seen a bundred feet away. This Is the assembly to which Parsons belonged until it was kicked out of the order for its adherence to the cause of the reds, For the reason that this was the only floral piece on the hearse it attracted all the more at- tention. Then there was another thing about Par- son’s coffin. Instead of a great sash of red thrown across it there Was a simple strip of red silk rib- bon, which was trailed carelessly [rom the head of the’ casket to almost the center, and was then strung along the floor of the hearse until it wound itself Into a little heap at the foot. Then along came another cohort of the Central Labor Union, butchers and bakers and representatives of ail sorts of trades. Behind these were drawn the hearses of George Engel and Louis Lingg te jen Suicide. They were triends tn life and ilved to- gether, and in the funeral pageant were placed in Glose proximity. Over both the black coffins were the inevitable red banners. Several floral pieces were carried behind by stalwart men. All through this, wich may be called the first part of the demonstration, were interspersed the carriages containing the relatives and a few near friends of the dead anarchists. The next feature fuil Of flowers. As they swung into Lake not a word was uttered by those in the ‘oF those on the corners. ‘The respect shown for thos in the parade was remark- miy eight officers were stationed at this corner to keep the crowd back from in- WOMEN IN RED. A noticeable feature of this part of the pageant ‘Was the showing made by the two local assemblies ot the Knights of Labor, composed wholly of Women. “Bagh one of thew’. was nhaune Wit yea, Scarlet in their hats, bows of crimson at their throats, and long streamers of crimson from their shoulders made the of the working- women the object of special comment. In front of ‘them marched Miss Mary McCormick, master Torkman of the organization known as Lucy Pai Knights of Labor. she was at. ‘ended by two others, and the trio carried a huge Wreath, to the top of ‘which was attached a snow- white dove—the emblem of Tt will be res membered that the signal for the gathering at Haymarket Square was the printed German word “Rube,” meaning peace. ‘This was the only white dove in the whole line. ‘The tribute was sent by the ladies’ defense fund committee of Cincinnati. ‘Then came more men, women, and children, and it Wook the marching. thousands just twenty-three Iinutes to pass the corner. ‘THE SPOT WHEKE THE BOMB FELL. After the pedestrians came the carriages, to the number of fifty. They were overloaded with people of all ages and sexes, and here a chi Was made. Instead of wurning Into Lake street the Une of Vehicles kept oa due south on Despluines Street at a brisk trot. Squarely over Une spot where the bomb fell, and on over the ground strewn by mangied bodies the night of the riot, ‘ramped the horses. But tuere was no crowd there to-day. Not a dozen persons were at the corver of Randolph street when the first carraze rolled by. On went the line past the Des Plaines Street station, on the steps of which stood Lieut. Bold and a few policemen, who gazed on with stolid looks. The carriages reached the Wisconsin Central Depot possibly twenty minutes ahead of the tuarchers of the procession, who Went east on Lake street, south on Fifth avenue, and past the bulidiug in which was form- erly thé office of August Spies and Albert R. Par- sons when they wrote bloodthirsty editorials for thelr respective papers. As the rst ranks of tie Aurora Turn Vereto passed the building some one ofits members raised in the air a swmail United States flag and waved it over his head. ‘This Was tie signal for a cheer from the loyal Spectators on the sidewalk. In halt an hour more Marshal Hepp haited tue procession at the Wiscoo- Siu Central Depot, and the coffins were borne on tue shoulders of ihe pall-bearers to he depot and deposited in a car. So dense Was thé crowd in the depot and far out into the yard that it Was almost Lmpossibie tor one to force a passage. Then the engine and funeral car pulled slowly up the side track ou to the main truck, and were quickly attached to the other coaciies In the first passenger coach were the mourners. In this were Capt. Black, Nina Van Zandt, Mrs. Spies, August's mother, Gretchen, hs sister, and Ferdinand and Chris, the two brouuers. ‘Then there was the dusky Mrs. Parsons, Mrs. Engel and ber cuildren, and Mrs. Fisher and her two Dables.

An_Elderty Woman Killed for Her ~ Meomey—Her-Son-in-Law Arrested. A frightful murder has occurred at Unionville, a ‘small country village in New Jersey. On Thurs day Geo, M. C. Dunham and his mother-in-law, Barbara Kandle, a woman of sixty, were in a corn- field busking corn. On Friday Dunham reported to his neighbors that his mother-in-law was miss- ing, and asked them to join him in the search for her. He said he had left her in the lela Thursday morning and had gone to an adjoining village. Returning on Friday ne had not found her, and the indications were titat she had not been in the house at all. ‘Two men joined Dunham inthe search, ‘They soon found Mrs. Kandle’s dead body near the shock of corn which she had been husking on Thursday with Dunham. Blood was ail about, and the soft Flound showed marks of a struggle.” “When they rst saw the body lying among the cornstalk: Dunnam turned to go the other way and for a while to approach the body. The woman had fallen on her knees, with her body bent over her arms, and her face lying partly in the sand and paruly in the corn-husks. Her body was covered with blood and her head broken in four places, from which the biood had flowed and matted and dyed her locks of silver hair, Her left arm had been completely shattered with rabbit shot, which had gone clear through 4t, penetrating her left side and neck. A corn-staik lay at her side completely severed by the while over her body hung another stalk burn Diack with powder. ‘The body lay within 3 feet of the fence, and on the bars were the marks of the bloody agers of the woman's right hand, while all around were blood-stained stalks and husks of corn, as though a . with which the woman had been uusking corn. ‘The murderer had come upon his victim unawares; had placed the gun upon a fence rail not 5 feet away, and had almed for her heart, striking in- stead’ her arm, ‘The woman had ‘undoubiedly risen when her brutal murderer had jumped the fence and clubbed her on the head with the stock of the gun. In falling she had clutched te fence rail and sti d to get up. Over the right ear ‘was a cut as (hough made with the hammer of the gun, large enough for a man to run his thumb 1n; twoother cuts were on the top of the head, as though made with the butt of the gun, and right atthe base of the brain a triangular fracture which had caused her death, Dunham's strange conduct led to hts arrest for the crime. By means of threats and persuasion his neighbors induced him to notiity the coroner, and in the evening an inquest was held, Duphaio told the coroner ‘the same story he had (old bis heighbors about his leaving the old lady in the fled on Thursday and driving toa nekshboring town, Whence he did not return until the next day. He said he had taken his wife and little girl to the station at Clayton on Wednesday, and gave them the money to pay their fare to Vineland, where they had gone to visit her cousin, a niece of the murdered woman. On being questioned closely, he made contradictory statements, and showed Such signs of apparent gulit that he was locked up in the Woodbury jail, Me fainted durin the inquest.

The mur- de ‘oman possessed property and money amounting to several thousand dollars, and Dun- ham’s wife was her only heir. ‘The “detectives found things in confusion at the house, but no valuables Were found. Dunham expressed the opinion that a former husband of his wite had committed the crime. ‘The detectives suspect that Dunham killed bis mother-in-law that nis wife might come into possession of her property, and that his gun and bloody clothing may be fourid in a well near the Louse, Yesterday, in a huge pile of cornstalks on Bar- Dara Kandie's farm, were found bloody evidences of the terrible murder committed last Thursday. ‘They were the old coat and vest of George M.

Arneaux communicates the following to the New York World: Following theexample of Frederick Douglass, Miss Flora Batson, who is re- cognized as the greatest female ballad singer the negro race has thus far produced, will shortly marry a white man, the gentleman who has for several years been successfully conducting col- ored concerts, in which she has appeared as the star, The happy grooin ts Mr. Jas.G.

By this method he managed to always have large and promt. able audien chiefly nade up of colored ie, At first Mr. Bergen tried the novel met or having colored and white artists appear togetuer. Of the colored artists there were Mme. Neili¢ Brown Mitchell, Adelaide G. Smith, and Mme. Montgomery. Of the whites there were the Silver Lake Quartet, With Marshall P. Wilder as humor- ist.

Mr. Bergen then employed ali colored arusts and succeeded admirably, About two years ago Mr. Bergen heard the wonderful voice of nis intended bride, who was then singing in a colored church choir in Providence, R. 1. He brougit her to New York and she electrified her audiences. Since then she has been Mr. Bergen’s “star.” Mr. Bergen has beer a widower about a year. He has asou about twelve years old.
