RECEIVED THEIR DESERTS. A s Oowardly Orow Oondemned to Death in FOUL FRUIT FOR THE GALLOWS. Taken Scenesin Interest in the Outcome of the Tr. Court—The Verdict Re- celved With Oheers. Tremend The Anarchists Convicted. Cnicaao, Auzust 20.—There four ent versions given ont this morning as s verdict decided upon by the jury in The only accept was that the jury had decided npon a v and that all the defendants except Ne boen found guilty and given va of punishinent. The police rumor was six men—Spies, Fielden, Fischer, Parsol Schwab and Lingg had been found guilty of murder, and that Necbe and Engl be given a penitentiary Another statement reduced number who would e capital penalty to three—Spies, Fisher, There was no way of nccurately de- termining any of these ramors until the ver- dict was given at 10 o'clock. The tweive jurymen remained in their rooms at the Revere house just across the street from the criminal éourt téoms, About this building were a were di grades that LARGE NUMRER OF POLICE to prevent any attempt to break in upon the privacy of the jury. In front of the main en- trance o the court house were thirty police and three lines of police and court baliffs liad to be encountered before any one could approach the court room, At9this morning there were twenty police inuniform it the court roomand several press representatives, The court officials de- that the relatives of the prisoners should lowed in the court room and at 9:1: o'clock the sister of Sples, with another young woman, made her appearance. She moved as though she would proceed in close proximity of the chairs heretofore occupied by the prisoners, but she was motioned to a seat on the opposite side of the court room in rearof the line of police ofticers, thus indi- cating that the prisoners were not to be sur- rounded by their admirers. Shortly after- ward the motner of Spies, accompanied by A younger son, also entered the court room and took a seat on the back benches, TUE JURY left their hotel at 9:16 o'clock and under gui- dance of ten bailiffs took their way to the court house and were conducted to the inner room, immediately adjoining the main court room. At9:20 Mrs. Parsons entered the court room, accompanied by the woman who had attended her thronghout the trial. She was given a seat between two policemen, and with two policemen immediately in her rear. Whether this precaution was toguard against any extraordinary exploit in the court room or not is of course not known, but the seat accorded the female anarchi was deemed significant. Mrs, Blac the wife of the chiet counsel tor the pris- oners who has been in court dal ceeded to her former seat near the prisoners, but was requested to take her seat on the op- posite side of the court room. Mrs. Black re- marked to a newspaper reporter, as she laid down the package of newspapers, *Well, they say it hasatl gone againstour men, They ake it very well though.” The sheriff has re- fused to allow any one to see the prisoners, andnoone has been permitted to enter the Jail since the case was given to the jury yes- terday afternoon, THE PRISONERS were brought into the court room at 9:52 o'clock and wero seated at the northeast cor- ner of the court room on some side benches. “The court was called to order at 9:54. The prisoners were not observable to the eyes of but very few in the court room, They pre- sented about the usual appearance, though Sples and Fischer looked pale. The jury arrived 9:55 o'clock, There ° was an impressive silenc mnm{ filed in. The tremendous interest taken in the outcome of the trial and the finding of the jury, was illustrated by the crowd which nad gathered in front of the court house to await the announcement. Nearly twenty thousand people were gath- ered on Michigan street in front of the main entrance to the building, gazing up at the windows. The police kept the erowd moy- Ing, howeéver, and it appeared to be composed alwost entively of simply curious people. Judge Gary arrived ath:47 o'clock, and al- most at the same moment Captain Black and Ziesler. When the jury appeared, Judge Gary enjoined absolute silence. 'Tliere was whispered consultation between the judge and the clerk when THE V wasread as follows: “The jury find the defendants—August Spies, Michael Senwab, Samucl Fielding, Albert K. Parsons, Adolph Fischer, George Kngle and James' Linge— guilty of murder as charged “in the ‘indict- ment, and fix the penaity at death, We tind the defendant Oscar W. Neebe guilly of murder in the manner and form charged in the indictment, and ix the penalty at im- prisonment in the penitentiary for fifteen years. Capt. Black asked that the jury be polled. dhe Jurymen answered with firm voices: Capt.” Black said he would desire to make a motion for & new trial. State's Atforney Grinnell said it would be impossible (o dispose of the motion at the present term, but by agreement the motion could be argned at the September term. This was agreed to by the defense. ‘The court let the motion be entered and continued until the next term and the de- fendants be taken back to jail. The court then arose and addressed the jury as tollows: “Gentlemen of the jury—You have finished this long and very arduous trial, which has required very considerable sacrifice of tim and some hardship. I hope that everything has been done that eould possibly be done to make ~those sacrifices and hardships as wild as might be permitted. It does not become me to say anything in regard to the case you have tried or the verdict you have rendered, but men compul- sorlly serying, as you haye done, deserve some recognition of the service you have verformed beside the meagre compensation you huve reccived. The foreman of the jury said: “The jury have deputed to me the only agrecable duty that it is our province to perforu, and that Is 10 thank the court and couusel for the de- fense and prosecution for your kindly care 10 make us as comfortable as possible during our confinement, We thank you.” T'he court respondea briefly. ‘L prisoners had filed ont during this in- terim under the guidance of the bailiffs.

Eloguent Address of Dr. Oliver Wendel Holmes on Leaving for Home. LONDON EDITORS BADLY MIXED, They Concoct an Irish clalistic Seasoning for I Stew With So- Poor Excuses litorials—The Galled Jades Wince, Banquet Table Talk, LiveRrroor., August 21— New York Her- ald Cable—Speeial to the Ber.]—Oliver W dell Holmes will leave England on the Aura- inia this morning. Yestenday he visited the exhiibition, and last night he was entertain ed ata banquet givenat the Adelphi hotel by the medical society. In response to a tonst to his health, the professor, at the dinner table, said: “‘Gentlemen, loving friends and hosts, 1 eannot help recalling my first visit to your noble and famous city. Most of you then were future possibilities, rather than present actualities. It was in 1534 that T hap- pened to be passing throngh Manchester, [ had heard there was a new mods of convey- ance operating between that city and Liver- pool, CALLED A RAILWAY. This I had never seen. though I had trav- eled a good deal in Great Britain and on the continent. So, justto discover what travel- ingon arailway was like, and to havea story to tell of its wonders, 1 booked myself for Liverpool and whistled through the space between the two cities, seemingly to my tutored senses as if I had been shot from the mouth of a givantic piece of ordnance. After a glance at your docks and pubdlic buildings I whistled back to Manchester like areturn shot from another similar cannon. Of course the difference between the world of 1534 and 183 I would not pretend to speak, we were to pass a LIFETIME AT THIS TABLE, and to have a session of indefinite continu- ance afterward. But what a difference to myself between my first and second visit, I then knew no human being in your great —not one ot its inhabitants had he ard of my name. I came nnwelcomed, I left with- out God speed on my journey home.” (Here the professor paused a moment and was visi- bly affected). Ile then continued: “On my second visit I was et even before landed ion from one of your medical If London is the TUROBIING HEART OF ENGLAND, Liverpool is her warm hand,and that hand was stretched out over the cold waves of the ha bor to clasp my own in friendly greeting, It grieved me that I conld not then aceept your hospitality, but the fatigues and trials of the voyage had made rest indispensable. I could think of nothing better than to take refuze in the venerable and delightful somnolent city of Chester, where I remained a few d. ‘Fs as contented as the indigenous tenants of tfia mouldiest of Cheshire’s cho: 1 canuot, however, do justice to the manner in which 1 have been everywhere received. phrase of mine would baa most nadequate return for the months of LOVING AND ASSIDUO US ATTENTION through which 1 have been living. You need not ask me, therefore, the almost stereo- type question, how I like England and Scot- land. I cannot help loving both, and I only could not accept the welcome ing me from warm-hearted Scotland. But there is something more. than personal sentiment in these feelings at this moment. I know that my countrymen are gratitied when the hnmblest of their fellow citizens are cordially welcomed and honorably enter- tained in our mother country. The courtesy W hich I have receiyed has mot been thrown away, however much hey have exceeded my - deserts. There are hundreds, yes, thousauds, at howe, who bave said as they read in the newspapers the record of all that has been done for me, ‘Inasinuch as yon have done all this for one of the least of our brethiren, you have done it unito us,” and thus my brief visit may add one more filament to that ever- strengthening bond which binds the imperial mother and HER MIGHTIEST OFFSPRING in a sacred, great and Imperishable union, So I will say with one of the lirst generation of our Puritan exiles, ‘Farewell, dear, dear England. Let us trust that the waves which roll between us shall never drown our mutual affection, nor storms that lash them into fury foreshadow any disturbances in the har- mony of our parental and filial relations.” ”’ When Mr. Holmes resumed his seat the ap- plause was deafening, but the simple, ingen- uous and sincere manner of the speaker seemed to produce more effect than his words. He appears to be in very much better health than wien he landed. ANARCHISTS AND IR1SH, Comments of the English Press ou Chicago's Two Great Events. [Copyrighted.) LoNDoN, August 2L, 4 a. m,—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Ber.]—The conviction of the Cl go anarchists and their capital sentonces is the sensational topic of the hour in London. The govern- ment organ, the Morning Post, thus con gratulates Chicago: SALUTARY LESBON. “In this trial at Chicago the American people have shown very cleatly and foreibly that they will not allow their hospitality to be abused. They have sheltered men who conspired against the governments of other countries. I'hey have even allowed them to conspire an American soil. But when German anarchists nade an attack upon the laws of the United States, It was seen at once that toleration might be carried too far. Charity begins at home, and from sound mo- tives of selt-protection the legal authorities of Chicago have gave their revolutionary guests a salutary lesson,” A CHANGE OF SUBJECT. The leader then passes to the Irish event in that city, and on the specches of Messrs. Fitzgerald and O'Brien at the convention, re- matks: “A war agalnst English rule in lre- land has been openiy threatened. There is no doubt that some of the men present at that convention have been cognizant of the intrigues of the murderous ruftians who have attempted to destroy life and property in London.” AN ILLOGICAL CONCLUSION, 1t thus very illogically concludes: “Amer- icans have shown by the verdict and sentence in the anarchisttrial that they give short shift to foreign miscreants who have as- sailed law and order in the United States. It may in time become desirable that some international action shouid be taken for the suppression of such conspirators who, whethier they are nihilists from Germany or dynawiters from the school of O'Donovan Rossa, are enemies to civilization.” THE CHBONICLE'S HOPE. ‘The whilom radical Chroniele has ‘an edi- torial in a siwilar strain, It arrives at this conelusion: “Now that the Ame: ernment has expressed so clearly its refusal to differentiate between destruction of life and property on alleged political motives, and the same offenses committed without that lame excuse, itcan hardly refuse to "SATURDAY MORNING, complete the negotiations so recantly begun for the conclusion of mn_extradition treaty expressly intended (o deal with crimes com- mitted under the veil of politic: THE DAILY KEWS' JOCOSITY, L} The Daily News remains jocular over the 0 convention observing that ‘““Their ention could hardly separate without stting something, and we deeply regret toannounce that it has resolved upon boy- E hmanufactures, Considering to what extent those products are already boycotted byt American tariff, this resolu- tion cannot be described as anything better than a fallen foe. The diMculty will be to find goods to boycott in the union.” Its cable dispatehes quote from the Herald that the procecdings may be regarded asa vote of con- fidence fn Mr. Parnell and Mr. Gladstone. THE TIMES' AGGRESSIVENESS, Somewhat as a tag to the two Chicago oe- rces the TImes aggressively says: “The h convention at Chicago, while abstain- ing from the dynamite programme, has just been unanimous in approving a scheme of agitation by as pitiable means as violent and as unscrupulous as any scheme of social plunder propounded by the wildest social- ists.” A VICIOUS INTERPRETATION. The Standard - interprets Mr, Redmond’s speech as advising a revival of the old strug- gle against landlordism with its old concom- etants—veiled rebellion, lawlessness, boycot- ting and outraga, In fact this morning Chicago overshadows St. Stephens in news- paper importance, Of course Mr. Finerty is largely held up as a home rule bogey.

The veterans in Camp Manderson were astir carly this morning and the day gave promise of being bright and full of interest to the visitors, T'he number in attendance was largely inereased by in- coming traing, the train from the west on the Elkhorn line bringing in the largest number, I'te number on the grounds was estimated at 15,000, The usual formal routine work of mounting guard by the regulars was followed atvo'clock by an excelient sermon to the Grand Army boys by Rev. J. Lewlis, chap- Inin at Fort Niobrara, which was attentively listened to by a large crow At 10 o'clock the grand parade occurred. The column was headed by General Brisbin, Chief of Staff Falentine, Licutenants Bingham and Ste- vens, and other members of the staff, and General Thayer, department commander;fol- lowed by three companies of the Ninth cay- alry under the direction of Captain Cusick and Lieutenants Hughes and Emmett, to- gether with the various Grand Army posts and bands. The column made an imposing ap- pearance, with its dress parade uniform and fiying streamers. The line of march was from the camp tothe city and through the principal streets, On Main street there was a liberal display of bunting and arches, and on the balcony of the local Grand Army hall abevy of gaily attired ladies represented the states of the union. Although the day ‘was hot, and the march of some length, the veterans bore it good-naturedly as a re- minder of other days. Before reaching camp the column passed in review before the officers in charge, During the afternoon the band contest oc- curred for the two prizes—irst prize, $100; second _prize, $50. The Helicon band of Niobrara was ruled out, on the ground that it was under pay of the committee, but not until the other leaders confessed they were afraid to compete with it. The bands engag- ing in the contest_were those ot Fremont, Neiigh, Wayne, Madison and Ainswortl. The Judges chosen by the bunds were., 15 W. Morrls, I J. Chiids and R. D. Scott.
