the gkeat chicago biot Sixty-Three Persona Killed or Jiadfy Wounded, Forty- One of' ichum are Policemen? Arrest of jive Ringleaders of the Riot. Chicago, May 5.?The Aunrcbists of Chicago iunugurated in earnest last night the reign of Iuwuessuess which they have threatened and endeavored to incito for years. They threw a bomb into the midst of a lino of 200 police officers, and it exploded with fearful effect, mowing tho men down like cuttle. Almost beforo the missile of death had exploded the Anarchists directed a murderous fire with revolvers upon tho police, as if their action was prearranged, and as the latter were hemmed in on every side?ambuscaded? tho effect of the Gre upon the ranks of the officers was fearful. When the police had recovered from the Grst shock of the attack they gallantly charged upon their wouldbe-uiutdercrs, shooting at every step and mowing them down, ns their fellow-officers had been laid low by the bomb. Tho Anflod iu dismay before the charge, but everywhere they turned the withering Grc from the revolvers of tho police followed them and thinued their rauks. The cowardly curs, Gudiug that their attack did not completely annihilate the officers, and that a force large enough to copo with them was left, fled in all directions, seekiog the darkucss of tho alleys, hallways and side streets to escape tlio rcvongeful Grc of the policu. The collision between the Anarchists was brought about by the leaders of the Jaltcr. August Spies, Sam Fielden and A. It. Parsons, endeavoring to iucito a large inass-inceting to riot and bloodshed. Froui Socialistic headquarters there issued late in the afternoon the following circular, which was distributed throughout the laboring quarters of the city by the thousands : "Attention ! Workingmen : Great mass-meeting to-night at 7.30 o'clock, at llayuiarkct. Randolph street, bclwccu l)esplaiues and Malstcd. Good speakers will be present to denounce the latest atrocious act of the police iu the shooting of our fellow workmen yesterday alternoon. Sigued : Executive Committee.'' At 8 o'clock a largo crowd had collected on Desplaiues street, just north of Randolph, iu a dimly lighted spot near which were many wagons and trucks. August Spies was the lirst speaker. After a long, nmlili nrr toll/ All lltn InliAi* rvfAltlnm la n iUUIUHU^ turn v/u iuv IUUU1 vuivuij ut asked : "What menus this display of gattling guns, cauuou, bayonets, patrol wagons and clubs? "What means tho calling out of the 1st regiment ? Is it au entertainment for you, gentlemen ? The deuiaud of the McCormick men was reasonable, aud yet McCormick denies that he is responsible for the bloodshed yesurday. I say he lies. lie is reponsible for the death of our brothers,"' Voices: ''Put him uudcr tho Lake.'" "The rope is better."' ^_'l>ou't make useless threats, my friends, but when you aro ready to act?' A voice : ''String him up." "There arc 25,000 or 30,000 families in Chicago suffering starvation to-day because their husbands and fathers are not men enough to stand up for their rights*" Loud cheers followed this speech, aud cries of "Tho Lake," aud 'The llope,' were heard form hoarse throits. A. R. Parsons was tbo next speaker, lie went into labor statistics largely, and defined the difference botwccn the Trade Unionists and tho Socialists. Sam Fielding, tho Socialist Kuglishman, was the Dcxt and last Speaker. IIo harrangucd the mob in a loud, blatant, reckless way, and asked what was the crowd beforo him. Ho said : 'We who come here to nddrcss you aro Socialists? rebels to the law. legislation will never help you, ncvor. Martin Foran went to Congress in the interests of labor, and ho tells you that no Legislation can be had for workingmen. Can't we find somo ? When the rich man understands that it is not healthy to live among a lot of discontented workmen, we shall bo able to get legislation, and not before.' > u :? :.u v. 1 IlUt UJU Uiuu wua iu ojfnij/.uuj vricu Hia utterances was evinced by tho wild applause which was accorded him. While this was going on Capt. Jionfield and Capt. Ward with nearly 200 policemen had been waiting patiently in the station for the Socialists to disperse or to commit somo act of lawlessness. When the officers who had been sent to mingle with them returned and reported tho temper of the Anar CtllSIS; DOin captaius uauiu i/u mo uuuuiusiuu that prompt measures only would avert another serious riot. Tho order 'Fall in' went round among the lieutenants with lightning rapidity. It was repeated to the men and they jumped into their places with accuracy and precision, prepared for a march on tho Anarchists. There wcro five companies iu all commanded by the following lieutenants in tho order named : Licuts. Howler, Stanton, Hubbard, I'enzen and Heard. Capts. Honfield aud Ward took position at the head of the line, which was marched to a poiut almost 100 feot north of llandolph street. When the front of the column reached tho speakers' wagon ('apt. Honfiield ordered 'Halt' and cried: 'In the nauio of tho State of Illinois I command this crowd to disperse. As the words left his mouth a spluttering spark of fire arched through the air from the opening of au alley aad ovor tho speakers' wagon. It was tho burning fuse of a dynamite bomb. It was well aimed in its deadly trission aud fell directly in tho middle of the street and bstween the two first columns of police. Tho instant it struck tho grouud it exploded with a terrible, sullen roar, seeming to shako the earth. Then fearfully wouaded and dying fell on nil sides, the death-dealing contents of the bomb reaching almost to the rear ranks. Twenty-nine mangled officers were groaning on tho ground. A ?iin ?? - _ vj? hviiu^ j vuuiu uui IIi%> U UUb U Wiucr swath. A scene of horror followed, the details of which uiay never bo kuown. The officers were demoralized and for au iustant broke ranks, hut utmost instantly recovered their presence of mind. Before, however, they had time to realize the destruction which had bcou wrought in their ranks tho crowds of Anarchists gathered in frout and on cither side of them and oponed fire with rovolvora at almost point-blank range. Tho first volley of tho mob was quite as fearful in its effect as was tho explosion of tho bomb, but tho officers did not lose their presoncc of mind. Orders flew thick and fast from captains and lieutenants, and within tho briefest possible space of time they were charging the murderous assassins on every baud, dealing death and destruction to them with their revolvers. The Anarchists did not sustain the t rt i cuurgu uu iiistaut, uui ilea as soou as tticy could distinguish the blue coats aud bright buttons of the officers through the smoke from their revolvers. The cracking of these weapons was incessaut for live minutes, and only once was anythiug like a volley fired by cither side. This was fired by the Anarchists when the bomb exploded in the ranks of tho police, thus showing that they hud been carefully drilling beforehand to act in coucert. When the officers had emptied their pistols they used them as clubs, aud it is quite probable that numerous skulls were fractured. With tho revolver shots cracking liko the tattoo of a mighty drum, aud the bullets singing in the air, the mob plunged away into the darkness with a yell of rage aud fear. It was au indescribable scramble for life. The list of names of killed or so badly wounded as to need treatment iu hospitals fonts up sixty-three, of whom forty-one arc policemen. Three poiiccmcn are dead, four aro evidently dying and three otheis aro very likely to die. Tho wouuds from the bombs wero frightful- Small pieces of ziuc, probably fraguicuts of the bombs, have been extracted from the wouuds of the ollicers. home ot the officers were hurt by fragmeuts of bombs ami were shot besides. Some officers had throe or four gunshot wounds. The Socialists obtained their guns from a saloon used as their headquarters at the corner of Lake and ]>esplaines streets, within one block of the point where the bombs were thrown. They fired from behind barrels, trucks and boxes, and from doorways, l'arsons, one of the incendiary speakers of the night, lit-s a negro wife. Spies, Fieldiug and Parsons were found at S o clock this morning in consultation at the office of tbo Arbcitcr Zcitung, and were arrested and locked up at the central police station. Fielding was suffering from a gunshot wound in tbo leg. They wero inclined to bo ugly when questioned as to their identity, but a few short sentences from the policemen made them perfectly submissive. Spies a brother and a man named Schwab, an assistant editor of the Arbciter /Ceituny, were found with August Spies, and were also arrested. Chicago, Moon.?The sheriff has not yet boon called on, but the militia are in their armories ready to turn out at a moment's notice. Between three aud four hundred of the police have been armed with Spriogfiold rifles, and evefry man on the force is armed with a 4'J-calibro revolver. Three thousand men employed in the great car hops at Pullman laid down their tools and went out this morning, joining the one thousand who quit yesterday. Thero arc no mon working in town to day except the men employed in the truck shops, who do not number more than fivo hundred. The police are rapidly collecting evidence against tho chief conspirators among tho Anarchists. They searched Spies's office this morning and found absolute proof that tho inflammatory circulations mentioned in these dispatches aud headed : 'Ko<< vongc ! Workingmcu to arms ! and another headed : 'Attention workingmen !' wcro found with the form in typo. These wero takou possession of and locked up in the Contral station as ewdcnco that Spies and Schwab directly incited tho riot and bloodshed. Inspector Bonfield raided Zcipf's Hall, corner ot J-iake ana uespiaines streets, this morning. Hero were found a lot of muskets, red flags, and German books expounding Socialistic doctrines. Nearly 810,000 has already been subscribed on 'Change for the families of the wounded and dead officers. Shortly after noon the police mado another raid on the offico of the Arbeiter Zf itung. They arrested a man in the offico, who, upon being searched, produced a large rovolvcr and a dirk knife. In the office were disoovered several boxes ot' dynamite and a uuuibcr of red flag) and incendiary banners. They were ail seized. Muyor Harrison, with several detectives, visited tbe Arbeitcr Zcituny office to-day, and held a consultation with Oscar Noibe, who said ho did not belong to the office but was employed to got out the paper. The mayor tohl him that the paper would uot be issued until inspected by Mr. lland, whom ho would send for that purpose. Noibo promised that nothing of an iflauimatory nature should appear in the paper. Before tlio paper was issued, however, another raid was uiado cn the printing office, aud wcnty-Gvo printers were arrested and arraigucd before Justice Mercbaud, charged with murder.

The Anarchist LEADER^flsp For Murder.?Tho inquest over tn^rcn xins of Police Officer Dicgan, who w*s Dfbrd rod by the Anarchist mob last night, was begun this afternoon and ended at 8.40 - to night. The men arrested at the office of tho<.4/d>ejter Zcitung were present as prisoners and witnesses.

They recommended that all tho prisoners be held for murder. The prisoners were held without bail. Tho jury also reccouiniendcd that Parsons be apprehended and held. THE MILWAUKEE RIOTI. Milwaukee, Wis., May 5.?Nfon.?The latest reports from Bay View shi w a muck more serious condition of affai s than at first reported. A crowd of ri iters commenced to form at S.30, and moved towards the mills. Six military companiis marched out of the grounds, stood in fnnt of the works, and as the crowd approached, paying no attention to the orders to haft.'lie dread word of "fire'' was givcu, and a volley of bullets poured into the crowd. The rioters made a hasty retreat, when it Was learned that five lives had been sacrificed and several pcisous wounded. -?1*. M.?Throe men were killed at Bay View and live or six wounded: Ono of theso bears a Polish or Bohemian name. How I Raised Plums.?Sevou years ago last spring I procured about thirty plum trees from a (ieucva nursery, and planted them out in an old garden. They grew very fast. The third year they nonrly all blossomed, but the fruit was all stung by curcnlio and dropped off. The next year thev were acain full of blossoms I wim rnhl by a neighbor that if I would tako slaked limo and dust the trees whilo the dew was on them I would get fruit, but no fruit that year. Tho next year I tried two other prescribed rcmedios? one was hanging tanzy on the limbs that had been well soaked in molasses water ; the s&tno result, no fruit. The noxt year I tried tho remedy (prescribed by most plum growers) the uiaul and sheet. In this way I saved about a onotbird crop, nud probably could havo saved them all bad it not been for a long rain that kopt me out of tho orchard for three or four days. In that timo T think tho midchief was mostly done. Tho last year I determined to make one more effort, as I began to get discouraged. We raise a good many chickens. I put their coops close to the orchard and turned in my hoga to root up the gro ind and pick up what stung fruit would drop off; and then every morning I scattered wheat scrconiugs under the trees, and whiio the chickens were picking it up I went around to every tree and gave it a good jar with a hoavy-padded maul that I fixed for the purpose. Tho result last year was tho finest lot of plums that I ever saw. ?American Rural Home. i JOHN I -deal: A^g- exit for All Klin WAGONS AN I am still soiling Jtho celebrated TEN W^GON nod iho COLUMBUS BUG< 111 I !0 1UO T 1 ?
