How the Anarchist H Plot was Revealed. CHICAGO, July 17.-About ton days ugo a prominent Bohemian called on Inspector Bonlhihl mut informed h i m Huit a plot was on foot, tho object of which was to avon go tho (loath Of (Spies, Harsons, ot al,, by blowing up with dynamite tho residences of Julius (5, Grin nell, who was Slate attorney when I he anarchists wore tried; Judge CJnry, who was presiding Judge, and also tlie residence of Inspector Bonfield, wno had hoon tho prime mover in tho ai resin which billow ed tho HaymarkotfatTatr, and who furnished most of tho evidence which brought four of tho principals to thc gallows, torced another Into a suicide's grave and sent three oth ers to Joliot. Thc inspector was not slow in aiding upon thc tip thus given, ?ind hy careful shadowing tu) other skillful'detective work succeeded in weaving ?1 web, as he claims, ot incontcstiblo buds about at least throe men, ami arrested them this morning, Tho name ol' the ring leader is John Ilronock, mid ho lives ?it 2052 Farrell street. Ile isa Bohemian and a cabinet maker by trade? Another man is Krank Cliapok, who lives al -198 West 'Juill street. Ho ls also a Ho* homioiiftcs is the third mun, whoso .v.?'inVl i:-i'^lriiK iTTtrm^ living on Zion place,and who is thc informer who told thu story of the plot lo thu Bohemian, who In turn, detailed it to Inspector Bonfield. lt seems that since Hie. execution, a movement wnfc started muong thc lol lowers of revolution and chaos in Chicago, hy which tho groups which disbanded almost as I soon us the market bomb burst, wore to bo re-organized. It ap pears lo do business nt tho Old stand. It was thought dangerous, in the light of past events, to havo these groups composed of an unlim ited number because it would in crease tho possibility of informers making their appearances nt tho meot.crilieal periods, when silence was very golden. Lt was concluded thal each group us reorganized was to have no more than three mem bers with ench of Hie three mom bo rs well acquainted with Hie oili er members who composed the group. When Hms formed, it was though! Hint "squealing in , .ie An archist muka in tho future would become a lost art." The three men arrested to day constitute a group, and in tho hands of these was loft by whom lt is not yid known, thu Occupation Of blowing up residen ces until the net of Inst November was considered tully wiped out in1 blood. Inspector Bonfield was to be re moved. Ile was tho third one on the list, ami lie was doomed to die with the olhers, hilt how was not fully decided upon. The plot had nnule rapid advancement, for on July lib, Ilronock detailed himself to examine tin? premises of Judge Uri .moll's bouse in Aldo no square, with a view to its occupants. Josiah's Wife. "When my Josiah and me lirst married," said she, "I'dO an idea that he hadn't n fault in the ?, orld. I wouldn't lunn* to any (liing bul that he hadn't a faull in the world.

"1 le just thought, Josiah did, that he'd drawn one of thom Impossible prizes in the lottery of inuiriniony -a woman without a fault. "Well, by the time he'd gone through two or throe housekeeping scrapes, a taking up and putting down carpets, ?iud setting up and tearing down stoves, and all that sort ol' thing, to say nothing of 'blue Monday,' wash day, and tooth ache that lasted three days at a time time we'd gone through all that, Josiah had found out timi 1 wasn't quite an nnpol, an I'd discovorod t hat ho could do and say t biogs t he saints would skeersly du timi say. "And OHO da,y in ono of my pen itent spells, says, says I,M ain't tho tho person you thought 1 wa; ?am I, Josiah'.' 1 ain't I 111 If AS good and sweet ns you thought I'd be.' "Wo wus nt tlie dinner table when 1 said il, and there wus a big dish ol' boitUtlful boney in the comb on tlie table. Josiah says, says, says he, "Ml* rnmly, I like honey ns well as any man living likes it, and you like it, too, but if WO bad to eat it three tintes a day for even six months, we'd gel Hodcsprltly sick of it we'd never want to hoar the word 'hon* ey' again.
