Chicago, Nov. i2.?At 12:40 yesterday morning the erection of the scaffold was f completed. The I noise created did V not seem to have any effect on the , \ \ doomed men. The JhM <$ciW night wore dream\ ily along, the condemned men deunconcerned mansheriff mats ON". ner, but all of them remained awake till after 1 o'clock, save Engel, who managed to sleep some, or fevjned to sleep. The noise and buzz in tbe jail office, created by the crowd of reporters, jail officials and specials, together with tho noise made by the ereotion of the scaffold, helped to keep them awake. Spies was rather talkative, but laid moat of the time on his back, with his hands above his head. Rev. Dr. Bolton, of the First Methodist Episcopal church, visited the prisoners in the jail during the night, but they expressed themselves as not needing his services. At 6:30 the condemned men were reported to be all sleeping soundly. At 6:.r>0 the prisoners' breakfast /TJS5?^|riS\v. ) was brought from AV1^'^ Martell's restaurant, in a large ? ( willow basket to wMjf the jail office and J ^7 ! set aside, to await I 1_) <?7 the rising of the y men who were en- \*? / f joying their last jh Ik sleep on earth. Promptly at 6 o'clock an extra ft detail of police | J | A went on duty, spies. numbering 200 men. Across Michigan street at the intersection of State on the west and again at the intersection of Dearborn avenue on the east, a rope was ; stretched, forming barricades, behind each ! of which stood a column of policeman. The same precaution was obsarved on Illinois atiraAt which rnns in f h? roar of th? jail, on the north. In front of the crimiaa 1 court building, on the south, on Michigan and in front of the rear of the jail building, on Illinois street, on the north, were columns of police, the full length of the structures, armed with breech-loaders, so that it was impossible to approaoh the jail, much less enter, without authority from Sheriff Matron. Engel was the first to wake. At 6:S5 he turned over with a half start, looked up and then turned over j J*n bunk. The ; JpjS 1 [morning light had gfe/h 1 crept in and it gfe^r seemed to startle i liy? " \1 him. But all was j quiet as the grave, the guards not dei ._ J siring to disturb W\. yjk the men, and he JKVS^a!cv./! turne^ over with uf$ fee a8Surance of a i ' / ^ fewmore moments I quiet rest Att5:42 parsovs Spies awoke. Ho limply opened his eyes, satisfied himself that his brother Anarchists were still in bed, and only slightly changed hia position. He made no utterance of any kind, seeming | satisfied to communicate with his own j thoughts. A little later Fischer awoke. He seemed j worried and restless on waking, and after j turning a few times sat up on the side of his j bunk. After a few moments he stood up j and, dressing himself, drawing oa his pant- j aloons and eacasiug his feet iu his well worn slippers, ha proceeded to make his i morning ablution. At 7:10 Parsons slept on soundly, unmind- I ful of the dread event that awaited him. The noise occca ioned by the A change of the death I \ waicn at i o cxock, ? w and which caused *=v Fitoher to awake, rJf did not seem to die- Ar turb him. A few moments later, the bustle In the jail jiM JKwj\ office by the Invar ilf^j1 M/ Ion of an army of ^ reporter* and ad- '(JJt\\l7/// ditiocal deputies, knqel. and Fiiober's ?plattering noise, made by washing, awoke him, and be got up with a bound. Then 8;>lea and Parsons roue, and the men proceeded to make their simple toikrt. Their breakfast, which had becu a walking them some minutes, waa carried in to them, and at 7:80 they were quietly eating their last me&l on earth. At !5:45 Rev. Dr. Bolton called again at the jail. The condemned mea were still eatlug their breakfast, and he lingered in the jail office, "Ycro wero in to talk to these mon l"<i? night?* yotir c?iT0?poiidoEt asked.

It is said far- i sons acknowledged the existence of a Diety. Dr. Bolton also had some hope of Engel, but 0 Bpies and Fischer were obdurate. Mrs. Parsons and Mrs. Lucy Holmes, the 3 latter of whom was associate editor on the j Arbeiter Zoitung, Spies' paper, were ar? , rested at 9:30, at the corner of Ciark and Illinois streets. They were charged with ' obstructing the sidewalk. The greatest ex - I citoment prevailed, the streets in front of the newspaper offices being crowded with ' people anxious to learn the latest particulars from the jail The detail of deputies c to take part in the execution wero called [( - ?j. J_ AL. *.u ~ into tne cornaor in me vicuuvjr ui mo g scaffold and received instructions. Just then word came over the telephone f that the friends of Louis Lingg had made 9 application at the coroner's office for the J custody of Lingg's body. The body was ^ still at the jail. v The Mail published a sensational report in fc an extra to the effect that the authorities e suspected that tbe jail was undermined and were fearful of an explosion at any mo- f ment. ^ It is needless to say the authorities denied c having any such fears, although it is truo a t civil engineer, by order of Chief of Police s Ebersold, made a sounding of the streets t surrounding the block on which the jail is located. But this was a mere precautionary s measure. ' The death warrant from tbe governor ar- 9 rived shortly after 7 o'clock. It was brought 5 by the governor's son, Robert, who ia also ? his private secretary. The neighborhood of Fullerton and Lin- j coin avenues were olosely watchad by the t authorities. That is an Anarchist strong- I hold. c Mrs. Van Zandt, mother of Nina, sent the following dispatch to Governor Oglesby J early in the morning: Chicago, November 11. , "Hi - Excellency, Governor Oglesby, Spring- f llcid. 111.; , "For God's sake stay the execution of Au- fc gust Spies. We have evidence of his inno- t cence." Mrs. Van Zandt was almost wild "with ex- 5 citement, and seemed to take Spies' coming 1 execution to heart almost as much as Ler r daughter Nina. c As won a3 Spies had linished lua breakfast, a!tir asking that some fried oysters be brought him, he asked for, and obtained ! ? his writing material, and went to work, v He was perfectly cool and collected, and | - remarked that he would be just as self- 1 possessed at the last minute of life as ho wa3 * then. The roofs of the criminal court end jail j were covered with policemen arme<i with breech-loaders. Anarchists might have t thrown a bomb into the police, but could not i; possibly reach the jail or the criminal court ' buildings. * At 9:30 a. m., the frionds and relatives of j1 the condemned were turned away from the jail. Dr. Gray then entered the cells of the t condemned men and administered stimu- s lants. Mrs. Parsons' and Engel's children t persisted in gaining admission, and were re- 5 moved in a patrol wagon. ^ Clark street and Dearborn avenue, run ning north and south on either side of the ? jail, and Michigan and Illinois streets, run- , ning east and west for blocks in each direo a tion, were simply packed with people. ii Fischer manifested a spirit of bravado. <> He sung the Marsellaise, and then in a ^ laughing way said to Turnkey Stubbs: "When I get to heaven I will speak a good word for you." o Following close on the telegraph report c from Springfield that Governor Oglesby had o decided once for all not to interfere, the 3 deputies at 10:27 began distributing tickets [ of admission to the hanging to the reporters, ^ and the excitement in the jail office became ^ simply intense. The hour for the dread r work had arrived, and everybody seemed to 3 be possessed of a feeling of awe. At precisely 10:45 the doomed men were brought out ot tneir ceils ana ina snerin i proceeded to read the death warrants to them. At 10:55 the four culprits were arragned in order for the death march to the scaffold, and at 10:57 the reporters wera admitted into the jail corridor to accompany the solemn procession to the scaffold in the enst corridor. At 11:28 the sheriff began reading the death warrant. The warrant was read to Spies first. He listened to the reading \tith dignified silence. Then Fischer's was read to him. At 11:40 the sheriff began reading the death warrant to Parsons; meantime the deputies proceeded to put the shroud on Enge!. Atll:)'Jthe aherJf fl:ii3he.l raadai^ the death warrant, and folding tue messages, held tlisin in his haud, looked anxiously about him, as if haif hesitatingly, half regretting to proceed. Just before the* march to the gallows, Fischer lifted his face to the cells of Fielden and Schwab in tho gailery nbovo, and shouted in German: "Brother Schwab, we wish you a happy life and that you may Boon be free." Then he added: '"Goodbye, Sam!" "Good-bye, Sam!" echoed Spies and En^el. Parsons said nothing. Schwab stood at the door of his cell, his hands folded behind, his brow overhung by matted hair pressed againsD the iron liars. Tears streamed dowu his cheeks and ran into his black and unkempt board. He was eo overcome by emotion that he coull not speak. Not one of tha spectators was unmoved. "Don't put the braces on too tight; you hurt uje." The words came iu sharp, queru lous touus from Parsons, wno was the lust ] to be piuionel. Ha shook nil over. Whether it was rage j or fear moved him, who knows? The apell of the moment was broken. Now the iron ( door between life aua death opened aud the ( men moved out, slowly and with me-nired ( rr-i-1. Fiv^t. ranie Spies, tbsii Fischer, then ] I'll?"', th-'ii l'ar.-onp. Won't you come inside?" sneered the lat,.i to iIim reporters who had been observing .ho iast to>iet. X\i ii a crash which resoutuled through .ho entire building, the heavy iron door ii.Mjil, ami presently th9 jail officers, with ,!i" four white shrouded figura.i in their nidst, disappeared around the turn of tho jorruior. "Oh, my God, my God," exclaimed poor 5.1:11 i'ipjJon, as his comrades disappeared 'rom his sight forever. Then he threw him;e!f into a cornor of his cell, dropping to his mesa, hiding his face in his lianas. His jowerful frame shook under the terrible itrain of the moment with codvulsive sob3. 3e was writhing in agony. For moments >e remained in this attitude of passionate lespair. Then the relief carae. The great, itrong man wept like a child. The specta;ors stepped reverently aside before this jreat paroxysm of grief. Then the death march to the scaffold was jegun. A iiuiuijur ui repur teres auu uuuuia lad gone into the east corridor and stood in ilent groups around the scffaold, discussng the hanging in undertones. At 11:48 the doomed men were in their hrouds and bidding good-bye to those of heir acquaintances among the deputies and ail officials. On the scaffold, while the caps were beng adjusted, Spies said: "My 6ilence is nore terrible than anything I can say." Fischer then, in a rather loud voice, said: 'This is the happiest moment of my life, jong life Anarchy I' Parsons was the last to speak, or rather, o attempt to speak. He said: "May I be illowed to speak? Oh! the shainelessness of trangling free speech I?"but before he ould say more, the sheriff touched the Bver:j "ciick" went the spring, and four j ouis were launched into eternity. The drop fell at 12:04. The pulses of all our men had stopped beating, just thirteen Lnd one-half minutes after the drop fell. Crowds lingered in the vicinity of the jail or one hour after. It is estimated that j rom ten thousand to fifteen thousand people fere in tbe neighoorhood. Tbey were a leterogeneous moss, embracing almost ivamr riotirtnoilftr I.C.J .?...J. The bodies were lowered after hanging or thirty minutea Spies' body was the irst to be taken down and lowered in the loffiu. The white cap covering hia head vas drawn up some little distance, exposing lis neck with the rope tightened around the kin. It was with great difficulty that the toose was loosened by a deputy. After much tugging the knot was slipped .nd the white cap was taken off. Spies' ace was covered with a greasy perspiration ind hw mouth was open, showing teeth omewhat discolored. There was no discoliration of the face and the noose left no sign ir nu-rk on his neck. Dr. Lewis placed his ing<T under the right side of the neck and iressed in. "Spies died by strangulation," te said, shortly. "The neck is not broken." nstantly the cap was replaoed, and the over of the coffin was screwed down. As soon as tho coffin lid had been adusted Fischer's body was lowered and prefaced for encasement. His long neck howaj a blue-black line of discoloration, nth a slight coagulation under the left ear. Sugel's body was warm, although his bauds 1 1 ? TllO afvoin ftn UUWtJU gll'UU CAiOWiUlOi/iwu. Alio DI.IUIU VM I lis handcuits had been so severe as to imbed he irons in the llesh.

The body of Spies was removed at ten ninules before 2 o'clock, and the otnerB vero delivered a few minutes laier. Ail afternoon the streots in front of the j arious newspaper offices were crowded I vilh people reading the bulletins. The i rowds filled the streets so completely that j t was almost impossible to get through. JuMuo&s was almost completely suspended. There seems to bo a feeling of relief since he banging is over, and everybody feels | hat the law has been vindicated. anil T.inm* Jiorl !

Louis Lingg Suicide*. Chicago, Nov. 11.?At 8:45 yesterday norning Louis Lingg attempted suicide 11 his cell. The veapon of dostrucion was a dynanite cartridge, fi a vhich was con- L. ;ealed in a tallow V " J/ andle.

Lingg held the cartridge between his teeth md held the candle to hi* mouth, as in the ict of lighting a cigar, until it exploded. Che lower jaw was thrown back and almost orn away. The cheeks and face were horibly lacerated. When Dr. Gray, assistant county phyician, arrived at the jail and gazed on jingg's upturned mangled face, tie was ,'isibiy shocked. Lingg had been placed on i pallet in ike jail bath room. He was if ted onto a table; his hands were elapsed jonvulmvely over his breast.
