August Spies, Adolph Fischer, t?eorge Engel and Albert E. Parsons Ottered their death words as they stood on tbe fatal trap, and the fioal syllables nad not passed the lips of the last speaker when with a duli rattle the L -drop fell and four souls socgLt the presence of their Creator. SCENE AT THE SCATFOLx). Soon after eleven o'clock the specta? tors were warned by the crash cf the opened iron door intervening between libe ^ail office and the south corridor of the cells that they were to pass in front *ot" *the gibbet. Through the narrow . doorway they filed into the cage of bars . awd netting which has been the scene of many interviews between the doomed reen and their wretched families. Through another iron portal, and theo turning to the right, the proces? sion wended by the cell once occupied by the dramatic suicide, Louis* Liogg A glance through the grating discov? ered the pallet on one side, still covered j with the rumpled bloody bed clotbiog j on which the victim who cheated the hangman struggled in the awful agony which ensued when the bomb exploded between his strong white teeth. On tbe concrete floor were strewn bloody .elothes, a basket containing some of the dead man's belongings and the half re? moved splashes of gore which spurted ?nd dashed about as the unconscious jtmrtg Liogg writhed and gasped His .tongue, which was blown out of the j .almost unrecognizable crater once bis i -mouth, was found in a corner where it j was violently cast bj the force of the ? flesh and bone rending explosion. Tbe S teeth and fragments of the jawbones, j which were scattered promiscuously ; about when the cell was first entered, j bad been picked up by relic huat-rs. ! The little six by nine compartment was the scene of one of the most remarka? ble and theatric suicide tbe annals of the prisons of the world can show. With the suggestions thus offered by the still bloody death chamber of Louis j Liogg the straggliog procession passed j toward tbe east corridor and emerged ^xn the long space between the north doors of the ceils, first passing across ' tfoe very shadow -of the gibbet -plat? form. THE ?EATS PROCESSION. A number of mes appear on the gal- j Aeries, a sownd of footsteps on the flags, ? and at fifteen minutes before twelve o'clock a dolorous procession swings io sight from the east corridor immediate- j Ij to the right of the scaffold. Slowly j and with solemn footsteps four men io j white shrouds, with hanging hoods be? tween the shoulders, moved on the fell platform. Supporting each ODC of these shrouded men was a Sheriff's o?ccr in black. Stout Sheriff Matson, with his ! fece rubicund from suppressed emotion, followed, and a portly, gray bearded j man with a clerical aspect was in close j attendance, as if to Christianize by his j presence the agnostics about to Staad ; lace to face with the Christian's God. j August Spies came first, and he walked with deliberate footsteps across tho fixed drop to a position on thc outer aide of the scaffold beside the hanging noose. Fischer, tall and erect, follow- j ed and took apposition on Spies' left as thc latter confronted the spectators, j Then'came short and massive Geor TSogel^his loose shroud flapping abo his legs Irke the ecclesiastical vestmer of a priest. The bailiff directed t older of tife "anarchists to his place b side the third noose at -Fischer's le! for Engel appeared 'confused and w not as well 'rehearsed, in the details the last act'of his mature life*. Pa sons was partially supported by t! sable clad attendant, and be assam' his place on the drop on Engel's left. DEMEANOR OF THE CONDEMNED. Thus it was that the Tour faced t! awe-stilled assemblage. Spies was c the extreme left, as seen from io fron Fischer next, then the burly Enge and last, on the right, the thin, wii es-edit?r of the Alarm, Albert R. Pa sons. The wrists of each one wei secured behind by nickel plated hanc cuffs, which interfered with the ease < -Kogel and Fischer, but which 'did ni appear to disturb their companions i woe. Spies, whatever he may hav done during the past few weeks to sa*? his life in the way of a partial abjun lion of bis'revolutionary principles, :no* dhows no signs of the fear cf death His long yeRow-brown hair was throw back ; his faco was pallid "but firm-na-j almost triumphant-in its fixed expr?s sion"; his blue.eyes were fixed gazin, toward the' distant wall at the end o the corridor, oblivious to the presenc of the hushed concourse at his f?et His mouth was rigid, and the earnest far away expression cf 'his handsom countenance carried with it a dignity and a polished gentility "not shared b; either of the other white robed men Yes, the marble pallor of August Spies fixed face afforded no contrast with tb< snowy folds of -his burial robes. Per haps the thoughts of tne unhappy Nins weeping and sighing at her father'i home haunted him. Perhaps it wai a dying concentration of the mind Ot the old mother desolate at home. Mori likely the cause of anarchy, with al its fatal consequences to human hapi uess, fitted its disciple's last menta perception. ** Who knows ? AFFIXING THE NOOSE. Fischer was less pronounced in man? ner than Spies. He glanced curiously from side to side, first on his right hand neighbor and then on Engel, on hi? left. His face was blanched and thc white robe of death was not bleached snowier than it. When the baiiifi placed the cord around his muscular neck be winced and turned his face ap? pealingly toward the attendant; there was no vestige of fear, but a querying manner, as if wondering what would be done next. Spies's stoney fece did not relax when the rope slipped down over his tawny hair and rested, supported by the tightened noose, around his im? movable neck. Engel was the least conscious of his position, if you could form an estimation from his manner. It was perhaps the absolute indifference of a phlegmatic, cool, and calculating na? ture. Perhaps having discounted all the future this scheming old man re? solved to become an angel in the anar? chistic heaven in reality ss well as by his mundane name. A flush overshad? owed his broad face, and the small, bluish gray eyes twinkled in a good natured way. When tbs i?oose was lifted over his head Engel smiled on the attendant. Theu he smiled on the reporters in front, many of whom he became well acquainted with during the long inter? val of imprisonment, arad last he smiled on. space, perhaps reserving rhrs last scintillation of bumer .for btmself on tbe theory for which he laid down hts life. He whispered a few words of encourage? ment to rhe attendant wheu the latter blundered in buckling the'leather strap around Engel's Jogs. Fischer whis? pered something to Spies as lie mOVed his neck uneasily from the pressure of tfee cord, but Spies was too far gone in a mental ecstacy to pay attention. THE TEXAN AT EAT. Parsons' face was a study. Tbe bony little Texan was at bay. rle had made his last harangue. He bad reach ed the end of his earthly tether. - But the niau was not satined. His expres? sion was a combination ?f sadness, ecstacy, fear, disappointment-a concat? enation of the emotions condensed into, a terrible whole. Yes, terribie from its unearthly weirdness. Parsons stood like one transfigured TT He was anxious to speak, but the situ? ation in all its appalling reality con? fronted him, and be was surprised, nay, t shocked by the transition. Sweeping ? his pensive eyes over tbe still group of j spectators at his feet thc anarchist rec- ! ognized acquaintances and a quiver j passed across his white face. Instantly gathering together his thoughts, how? ever, as if conscious of a weakness, Par? sons cast bis gaze toward the ceiling at the distant end of the corridor and thc expression of ecstacy previously blended with other conflicting facial binns predominated. When the Sheriff's officer slipped the death noose down to its place, so far as any sign of consciousness goes, the cord might as well have been attached to a statue of marble. The straps were placed around the ankles of Spies and Fischer ; the latter helped the hang? man's assistants by putting his legs close together, and a fitting expression, a half smile, betokened that tbe tail com munist found something amusiug in the pinioning be was undergoing. Spies remained impassive as before. The strap pressure did not awaken Parsons' attention. He moved his lips j in a manner which, if he were a Chris- j tian or a Deist, would cause a pious ob? server to hope that a silent appeal was made in heaveu, but Albert Parsons did not believe in God. Almost his last written communication specified his only deity to be 'humanity.' -LAST DYING WORDS. The preparations completed, thc baliffs stepped to the rear of the espe- ? cia! prisoner each one was appointed to attend, aod, with a precision quite mil? itary, tbe white hoods hanging down the back were carefully drawn over the. j heads and faces ef the unhappy an- j archisrs. Th^ir ii vi n or features were ! thus bidden from the public gaze for- I ever. Then the ghastly groomsmen j stepped back in linc behind thc man j they had arranged for dc'ath. The j sound of their retiring footsteps acied j as a signal for the doomed. There was a moment of awful silence. Sheriff Matson fidgeted at the rear of; the platform. Stolid Jailer Folz look ed toward the Sheriff. j The spectators mentally ejaculated j 'What next?' Then from beneath the j white came the solemn utterance, in tones clear as a bell, but not loud, as August Spies' invocation to the fleeting world fell from his ashen lips :. .There will come a time when our silence will be more powerful than the * voices they are strangling to death.' The tones were mournful -as a yawn? ing grave'and they struck the 'tympani; of the profoundly awed listeners :as if' coming from the mouth of the dead. Fischer broke the-spell by his bright, boyish exclamation, "This is the happi? est moment of my life !' Bis voice had a pleasant ting anti Fischer's last word betoken his dying frame of mind. ENGEL'S FINAL DEFIANCE. Scarcely had the joyous farewell echoed among the bricks and bars when Engel's stentorian "shout, 'Hurrah for anarchy 1' startled the crowd beneutb-i Striderft and fierce was the salutation which was hurled out by the old man's powerful lungs "to fleeting earth, to which he would so soon return. Like Lord Marmion of foe poem, Engel's Ust breath was a defiance, and future anarchistic, plotting revolutionists will drink countless hochs to the memory of their fearless compatriot for bis eutrtfcfa tion of their battle cry. Engel turned his head-as though'en? deavoring to peer through the envelop? ing muslin to eateh looks of sympathy from the others. Very difFe?eut was ?Parsons' goodby. Profound, sad, pa? ternal, as ? father reproves his children, the words slowly dropped forth, "Oh, men Of America, hearken to the voice of t'fce people and-" "SW??TG INTO "ETERNITY. Then there was a click, a rattling crash, and in a second four white; heads hung ?n a level with the1 scaffold. Parsons' "body hung mo-( tionless'for 'a "minute. The drop was j about four feet six inches andi the shdck to the medulla of the verte? brae of the neck paralyzed motion. Then some grotesque struggles super? venes, andrthe lithe frame of tbo an-j n cbist swayed frigbtralfy at the end oT?j the rope. His neck was not broken^ and the horrors of a death from stran? gulation occurred. The folds nf theil shroud heaved and twisted agonisedly, li and the less hardened lookers on pitied |j the dying anguish of the sufferer as hiB chest heaved in the involuntary effcTts; of the lungs to obtain air. The 'Con? vulsions continued a few minutes. Then they suddenly ceased. All was still; and Parsons' soul went thence to test the question whether ?humanity' is the Godhead of the universe. The People Cannot Be De? ceived. %A newspaper is like a tree. Tt can? not be evolved full growD. The ex? penditure of a fortune can insure new presses, able editors and correspond? ents, a beautiful typographical ap? pearance, the latest and freshest news -in a word, every outward equip? ment for ma?TKig a first class newspaper. But no expenditure of | money, no new and improved presses, or types, or able correspondents can give to a newspaper that which-^lpne can make it permanently useful and prosperous. Money cannot buy the confidence of the people. It cannot buy the strength "which comes to a paper only by pursuing an honest course. It cannot induce the people Lo believe in the integrity of its edi? tor and the truthfulness of its utter? ances'? And for permanent success a newspaper must have a foundation digged deep down frito t-he-coftfidence of the people. Other foundations than the rock-bottom of truth-telling will not-stand in all changes and all seasotrs. This confidence cannot !be won in a day or a year. It comes in it* fullness only after years of untir? ing labor and changeless standing hy the right. The people cannot be de? ceived. They can be read "between-] the lines. They iuok beneath high sounding #ords down to The actua? ting purposes. A p-ubHc *nan may hold office by tricks and 'manipula? tions after he has lost the confidence DI" the people. A newspaper, 60 far as its power ana its influence are con Dertred, is dead the very moment the people come to believe that it covers up fraud, apologizes for rascality, and bas not an honest, truth-telling policy. -Haleigh Chronicle. - - - Gov.
