Chicago, September 14.?The Su Sretne Court at Ottowa, this morning elivered an opbion in the anarchist case affirming the judgment of the court below. The execution is to take place on November 11, between 9 and 4 o'clock. The first official information that reached this city in regard to the fate of the anarchists was a telegram from the court clerk at Ottawa to the State attor? ney's office here, ? saying: "anarchist cases confirmed; execution November 11." Mr. Purcell, of the State's attor? ney's office ran at once to the jail with the dispatch. Following on his heels was a messenger carrying a telegram for August Spies that had been sent from Ottawa by an agent of the anarchists. The turnkey, who took the dispatch to cell 25, and shoved it through the bars, lingered a moment to watch the effect it would have on Spies. The anarchist took the message, glanced firmly at the turnkey,' and then withdrew to the darker end of the cell. In two minutes or so he called to the old man who Bits as death watch outside the barred door, and asked him to hand the telegram to Parsons. From him it went to all the others, and reached Neebe, who is only under sentence of imprisonment, v Newspaper men-had been vigorously shut out from the condemned men, and all observations had to be taken from, outside of the cage, about ten yards from the cell door. It could be dimly seen that each of the condemned men made efforts at coolness and bravado. They took seats at their cell doors and read newspapers and books; smoked cigars, and once Lingg, the bomb maker, whistled. Their wives and friends had been with them for an hour during the morning, but about thirty minutes before the news came they were all excluded and the prisoners were locked up, each alone. Sheriff Matson had remained away from the jail. By his orders during the night the guards had all been doubled. Including the court bailiffs there were twenty of the sheriff's men on duty, ten turnkeys and guards that are on regular duty at the jail and six policemen, who patrolled the alleys outside. Capt. Schaack brought with, him four detectives this morning, who were stationed in the jail courts; Upon Capt. Schaak the protection of the jail devolves. He pro? fesses to experience no uneasiness from any attempts to break into the jail, and says he has taken.every precaution. From the appearance of the streets -around the.jail any one could tell that some great event was going on. As the news spread (citizens coatlees, and some bareheaded, left their places of busi? ness and rushed toward the jail to verify the'report. 1 Among the crowd, growing thicker every moment, the blanched faces of rough loc king foreigners could ?be seen darting hither and thither, jab? bering excitedly with ugly grimaces, and 'clinching their fists as they talked ;t?S?ne another. The police would permit no loitering,-and therefore the crowd kept msrching up and down,.discussing-the all-absorbing fopic A reporter was Capt. Black's first informant Of the decision. During the moments occupied in giving the anar? chists' counsel the dreaded information his face was a study. His under jaw dropped, hh right hand went up to his forehead with a lightning-like jerk, and he gasped: "Is it possible ? Seven men to hang?" Great as was.his apparent surprise his manifestation of disappoint? ment; waB greater. He said: ' .""The only remaining course for us to Sursue is to take the case to the United tales Supreme Court. I: shall immedi? ately go before the Supreme Court at Ottawa and ask for a reasonable time to prepare a .certified . transcript of the record for presentation to the Supreme Court at Washington. Such proceedings are rare, but I have no doubts of the court's decision on that point." v .Capt. Black then roao and paced the floor with long strides, refusing to- speak further. Judge Gary, who presided at the trial of the anarchists, was surprised out of his usual calm reserve when the news of the decision reached him on the bench, where he was hearing .another case. -When assured that the report was true, he said:. "Well, all I have got to say is that the verdict is a just one." The ven? erable jurist thoughtfully passed his hand across his forehead for a moment and then resumed his occupation. Joseph B; Buchanan, Socialist editor, who has charge of the anarchists's defence fund, said that should the State Supreme Court refuse, to grant an appeal to the United States Supreme Court, or not pass on the the matter in time to have their decision act as a supersedeas before the date set for the execution of the sentence, application will be made to a justice of the United States Supreme Court for a supersedeas. If these pro? cesses fail, an appeal to executive clem? ency will be made. The petition for clemency will be presented to Governor Ogleaby. Poisoned by Cigarettes. Walter Bierce, a young man of 17, whose home is at GloversvilTe, had a close call yesterday. He is addicted to ciga? rettes, and took advantage of his visit to this city to enjoy himself to his fullest capacity, smoking several packages a : day. Of late he has complained at times of feeling drowsy, and thought the ciga? rettes did not agree with him. The sequel shows that they did not. Yester? day after breakfast he smoked about' fifteen, and then went into the parlor of his auut's house on Central avenue to lie down. When called for dinner he was found in. an unconscious state, with his body perfectly rigid. The frightened family called in Dr.. Schill, who recog? nized the symptoms, and after working over the victim'for several-hours got him in a partially normal condition. The doctor says the young man will recover, and the young man says he is done with cigarettes.?Albany Express. ? .Two Persons Silled. Augusta, Ga., September 18.?A ne? gro woman and child were run over by the down train on the Port Royal Eoad yesterday afternoon and both were in? stantly killed. The accident was a most peculiar one. There is a steep grade for a long distance on this side of Martin's Station, and, of course, in going down it, all trains run very rapidly. About one and a half miles this side of Martin's the engineer saw a negro woman leading a child by the hand in a cut some distance ahead. The train was going at headlong speed, and the engineer quickly reversed his engine and put on brakes, but the grade was so steep that the speed of the traiu was not perceptibly checked. The woman looked back and saw it was in? stant death unless she go t out of the cut very quickly. Not seeming to think of lying down on the side of the track she clung to the child's hand and tried to out? ran the engine, but to no purpose, for hardly had she taken a dozen steps be? fore Ute mammoth machine struck her and the child, terribly mangling them and producing instant death. The en fineer could not stop his engine in a long iBtance, but when he did so, backed to the scene of the accident where he was horrified to find that the .bodies of both woman and child had been mashed and mangled into unrecognizable shapes. The bodies were turned over to the I woman's husband, who, at his house a short distance from the place of the accident, had witnessed the death of his wife and child. ? A man escaped from a Bhode Is? land jail by makings rope of newspapers twisted together. This certainly was demonstrating anew the powers of the press. ? The New York World had "a corps of reporters" to sound the delegates to the New York Republican Convention at Saratoga on their choice for a Presiden? tial candidate. Its conclusion is that the Plumed Knight from Maine is the choice of two-thirds of the New York Republi? cans who were willing to ??press an opln Th? President's Speech. During the Philadelphia Centennial President Cleveland was introduced to the audience and spoke for about ten minutes. At 11:55 he commenced an address, which was received with thunderous ap? plause. His enunciation waa clear and perfect, and his voice rang out audibly to the thousands of ears : I deem it a very great honor and pleas? ure to participate in these impressive ex? ercises. Every American citizen should, on this centennial day, rejoice in his citizenship. He will not find the cause of his rejoicing in the antiquity of his country, for among the nations of this earth his stands with the youngest. He will not find it in the glitter and pomp 'that bedeck the monarch and dazzle the abject and servile subjects, for in his country the people themselves are rulers. He will not find it in the story of bloody foreign conquest, for his government has been content to care for its own domain and people. He should rejoice, because the work of framing our constitution was completed one hundred years ago to day, and also because when completed it established free government He should rejoice, because this constitution and government have survived so long, and also because they have survived with so many blessings and have demonstrated so fully the strength and value of popu? lar rule. He should rejoice in the won* drous growth and achievements of the past hundred years, and also in the glo? rious promise of the constitution through centuries to come. We shall fail to be duly thankful for all that was done for us one hundred years ago, unless we realize the difficul? ties of the work then in hand and the dangers avoided in the task of forming a more perfect union between the disjoint ed and inharmonious-states, with inter? ests and opinions radically diverse and stubbornly maintained. The perplexities of the convention which undertook the labor of preparing our constitution are apparent in these earnest words of one of the most illustrious of its members: "The small progress we have made after four or five weeks of close_ attendance and continued reasoning with'each other; our different sentiments on almost every question?several of the last producing as many uoes as ye is?is, methmks, mel? ancholy proof of the imperfection of human understanding. We indeed seem to feel our own want of political wisdom, since we have been running about in search of it. We have gone back to ancient history for models of govern? ment, and examined the different forms I of those republics which having been formed with seeds of their own dissolu? tion now no longer exist In this situa? tion of this assembly, groping as.it were in the dark to find political truth, and scarcely able to distinguish it when pre? sented tons, how has it happened, sir, that we have not heretofore once thought of humbly applying to the Father of Light, to illuminate our understanding?" And this wise man, proposing to his fellows that the aid and blessing of God Should be invoked in their extremity declared: "I have lived, sir, a long time, and the i longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of the truth that God govern:? in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire cau rise without his aid ? We have been assured, sir, in the sacred writings that, 'except the Lord - build the house, they labor in vain that build it' I firmly believe this, and I also believe that with? out his concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders, of Babel. We shall be di? vided by our little partial, local interests; our projects will be confounded, and we ourselves shall become a reproach and by-word down to future ages; and, what is-worse, mankind may hereafter from this unfortunate instancp, despair of establishing governments by htfman wis? dom and leave it to chance, war and con? quest." . In the lace of all discouragement, the fathers of the republic labored on for four long weary months in alternate hope and fear, but always with a rugged re? solve, never faltering in the sturdy en? deavor 89 notified by the prophetic sense of the value to posterity of their success, and always with unflinching faith in the principles which make the foundation of the government by the people. At last their task was done. It is re? lated that upon the hack of the chair occupied by Washington, as president of the convention, the son was painted, and that as the delegates were signing the completed constitution one of them said: "I have often and often, in the course of the Bession, and in the solicitude of my hopes and fears as to its issue, looked at that behind the president without being able to tell whether it was rising or set? ting, but now at length I know that it is a rising and not a setting sun." We stand to-day on the spot where this rising sun emerged from the political night and darkness, and in its own bright meridian light we mark its glorious way. Clouds have sometimes obscured its rays, and dreadful storms have made us tear, but God has held it in its course, and through its life-giving warmth has per? formed His latest miracle in the creation of this wondrous land and people. Aa we look down the past century to the origin of our constitution; as we contemplate its trials and its triumphs; as we realize how completely the prin? ciples upon which it is based have me* ?very national peril and every national need, how devoutly should we. confess, with Franklin, "God. governs in the affairs of men;" and how solemn should be the reflection, that to our hands is committed this ark of the people's covenant, and that ours is the duty to shield it from impious hands. We re? ceive it sealed with the tests of a century. It has been found sufficient in the past, and in all future years it will be found sufficient if the, American people are true to their sacred trust. Another centennial day will come, and millions yet unborn will inquire concern? ing our stewardship and the safety of their constitution. God grant that they may find it unimpaired, and as we rejoice in the patriotism and devotion of those who lived a hundred years ago', so may others who follow us rejoice in our fideli? ty and in our jealous love for constitu? tional liberty. CHEERING THE OLD BELL. When the .president was in the middle of his remarks, the soft mellow sound of the bell in the cupola of the old State House rang the hour of twelve and at each stroke a rousing chee.- went up from the chorus. The president was obliged to stop talking for a few seconds and surveyed the scene about him, which was indeed an impressive one, and that it might be preserved in the lines of history, a large corps of photographers busied themselves by recording each incident as it occurred. It was just 12:05 when the president uttered his last word. Before the echo of his words had died away, there was cheering which was deafening. While the applause was still going on the cheers broke into a patriotic air and the din was terrific. As far as the eye could reach there was one solid, surging mass of humanity, and when their throats opened in unison they filled the air and mede an inspiring scene. The Bock Hill Cowhidlng. Bock Hill, Sept. 17.?A church court was held here yesterday to consider the case of Rev. E. G. Price, the Metho? dist minister, accused of slandering the sister of J. B. Johnson, a young druggist of this place, who publicly cowhided the reverend gentleman therefor, juot as he was about to take the train to join a lady to whom he was to be married, and to whom he has since been wedded. The decision of the court is that the minister be suspended from his holy office for the four months next ensuing, which will allow his case to come before the general Methodist Conference which meets at abont that time, before he will again be allowed to officiate as pastor. ? Thirty millions of cucumbers for pickles are raised in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Fredericksburg got a reputa? tion for being an unhealthy spot about twenty-five years ago. A Fortune in a Doctor's Bill. The New York Times has the follow? ing : Tbe admirers of Samuel J. Tilden, who took pleasure in proclaiming on every possible occason that he possessed more Jeflersonian simplicity than any man of his weight in ihe country, wero of course unaware that ho owed a doc? tor's bill of $143,000. A bill of such magnificent, not to say startling, propor? tions and Jeffersonian simplicity could not possibly run double. For the pur? pose of supporting the Sage's reputation for simplicity some of his admirers may argue that Mr. Tilden may not have been aware that he owed so many bags of gold for medical attendance and apothe? cary's wares. The trustees of his estate, it is understood, take this view of the matter, and the impression among tbe few people who know anything about it is that the coming century will be con? siderably advanced before such a bill is paid at the face. One of the trustees looked surprised yesterday afternoon when asked if pay? ment had been refused of the bill pre? sented by Dr. Chas. ?. Simmons for medical service and attendance upon Mr. Tilden. Instead of. giving a plain and satisfactory answer to the question tbe trustee said that Dr. Simmons was tbe proper person whom to get information on such a subject. Then, of course, the reporter gratefully accepted the state? ment that tbe matter was a private, not a public one. The trustees would not say that payment of Dr. Simmons' bill had been refused, but he smiled when the amount, $143,000, was mentioned. Dr. Simmons, who is also a commis? sioner of charities and correction, was more willing to talk than tbe trustee bad been. He talked all around the bill, but never mentioned tbe amount. Tbe lat? ter was stated to him, but even then be failed to deny or affirm that the figures were correct. He promptly denied that any payment had been paid. Any delay in tbe matter should be ascribed to him, -he said, and not to the trustees of tbe Tilden estate. Without giving the amount of his bill, Dr. Simmons explain? ed how a bill could reach very large Sroportions. He had attended Mr. Til en, he said, for eight years, or to be exact, for seven years and eleven months. During that period he had visited Mr. Tilden every day, probably. He was Mr. Til den's friend as well as his physi? cian, and considered Mr. Tilden hiB best friend. Mr. Tilden had always done everything in his power for him and his. Being on such terms of intimacy, it seemed natural that a settlement should be deferred. It was postponed to such an extent that Mr. Tilden died without making one. Dr. Simmons said a settle? ment would be reached without any trouble when the proper time arrived. He and the trustees would meet and adjust the matter. He, too, was nnable to see why the public should be particu? larly interested in his bill until he was assured it was solely on account of its size. About that he had nothing to say, nor did he offer the reporter a copy of the bill. Spying Out the Land. Edgefield, September 15.?Dr. T. G. Croft, of Aiken, Mr. George Potts, T. S. Bullock and W. H. Scofield, Jr., of New York tbe latter three representing a railroad construction company of that -city, are here to day. They are direct from Aiken, having travelled through the country and over the proposed route"of the Carolina, Cum? berland Gap and Chicago Railroad, their purpose being to examine the con? dition of the roadbed already graded, and to obtain a general knowledge of the character of the country through which the road is to run, having special regard to its natural resources to feed and aid in support of a road. It is the intention of these gentlemen to- make a thorough inspection of the route and tbe proceed? ings nnder which township taxes have been voted in aid of the road,'and if they become satisfied that tbe tax is bona fide (of which there can be but one opinion) and with tbe character of the country, then a contract between their company and W. H. Scofield, the finan? cial agent of the Gap Road will be entered into for tbe building of the South Carolina division by a fixed time. They go from this point to Abbeville. The coming of these gentlemen into our midst has awakened the interest and strengthened the confidence of our peo? ple in the building of this road, and their business like way of talking and doing things leaves tbe impression and fastens tbe belief that they are here for a purpose and, if possible, will carry it into execution. Edgefield has been in need of a road so long that she would be satisfied with almost any line, but tbe Carolina Gap is the one most desired. This road, besides giving us better travelling facilities, will throw us,into direct communication with Charleston and the West, thereby secur? ing better and cheaper markets. It traverses the centre of the county and will develop the country and open up new industries. The towns and townships along this line have voted a heavy subsidy in aid of building the road, and our people are willing, anxious and ready to redeem any pledge or obligation provided a road is secured. We look with favor upon this hew project to build tbe Carolina Gap Road, and shall watch future devel? opments with deep and hopeful interest. Coming; to Life. Abbeville, Sept 17.?The Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chicago Railroad is again showing signs of life. W. If. Schofield, Jr., and others are here on their way from Aiken over the route North, inspecting the line, investigating the condition of the subscriptions voted by this and other' municipalities along the proposed line of the road, and acquiring other information in regard to the road. Very little seems to be known of their object, as usual. Many of our people have lost all faith in tbe concern and look with suspicion or with very lit? tle favor on any movements in its behalf, while others, recognizing the magnifi? cence of the scheme and the great value of the road if it could only be built, are disposed to hope for better prospects for tbe road and at least to look charitably on tbe efforts made by the promoters of the enterprise. Mr. Schofield and his companion spent a good deal of their time here in leisurely examining our town and its environs. A local wag suggests that they want to buy tbe town for a depot site. I understand they are wait* ing here for President Bowen to join them here and that their movements are somewhat retarded by bis absence. The Sorghum Experiment. Commissioner Colman again grows enthusiastic o ver the experiments made at Fort Scott, Kansas, to obtain sugar from sorghum, or Chinese sugar-cane, by the diffusion process. He claims that recent trials at that point have been far more successful than those previously reported, and that the industry can be made to pay handsomely. If his con? clusions are correct, sorghum may become tbe salvation of the sorely pressed farmers and planters of Mary? land and adjoining states. The staples now cultivated in this vicinity scarcely pay expenses, and it is rapidly becoming a serious question if tbe owners of tbe arable land can continue the present system. It has happened heretofore that those who have experimented with sor? ghum have allowed their seal to outrun their discretion ; hence, farmers will be loth to accept Colonel Colman's state? ments at their face value ; but many of tbem will await with considerable anxie? ty further developments as a possible relief to their present uncomfortable con? dition.?From the Baltimore American. ? An Abbeville correspondent says*' Mr. W. H. Scofield, jr., and Mr. Potts, a contractor from New York, are here in the interest of the Carolina, Cumberland Gap & Chicago railroad. Mr. Potts represents a syndicate with large assets. He has made a proposition which, if ac? cepted by tbe directors, work will be at once commenced on the road. The nature of the offer is not known. ? Charlotte Cltronick: A very pecul? iar case of poisoning occurred in this city last Thursday evening, the family of Mr. J. C. Hannon being made deathly sick by drinking buttermilk. Hr. Hannon and one of his children came very near dying, while every member of his family was made very sick. The physician who attended them pronounces it a case of tyrotoxicon, the symptoms being similar to those noticed in severe attacks of chol? era morbus. Mr. Hannon is still quite sick but is considered out of danger. An Honest Han'b Word.

I had tried all helps that eminent physicians and all the materia medica could suggest, and found little or no relief. Your Calisaya Tonic was recommended to me by a friend who had used it, who had been suffering like myself. I tried it, and by the use of three or four bottles found I was much stronger, could eat and sleep and do bard work as I never did before. It is now more than a year that I have enjoyed uninterrupted good health, and by the occasional use of your Tonic I have enjoyed a degree of health that I have not enjoyed for fafty years, and I have now got to the three score. I am very desirous that others suffering as I have done should know the great value of your Tonic, and therefore make this statement that it should induce them to try it. Gratefully yours, J. B.
