The election is over and many

it; but what's the ose of fretting over
lo6t battleb! Only tbe regulation
politicians aud their dependents and
ambitious candidates were really ex
cited over tbe contest juet ended in
this city and State, while the great
tuass of the people didn't bother
themselves about it beyond picking
grain of whsat now and then out
of the teuopost of partisan chaff that
deloged them- When the polls
opened yesterday, there was oo roub
of excited or enthused people to de
posit their ballots. The drums and
borns of campaigners bad ended, and
very section, of the city was serene
as a aammer's mom. People came
out leianrely, voted as they pleased
except io tbe few places where the
police end party heelers plied their
vocations, and went tueir way;

Tho crime for which tho seven
men wore convicted and sentenced
to death, known as the 'Ilsymatket
Tranody,' occurred on the night of
May 4th, 1SSG. On the let of that
month the workingmcn of Chicago,
save a few exceptions, struck for au
eight hour day: The strike was
partially successful. On iMay 3d
August Spies made a speech in de
nunciation cf the uou-uuioo men
employed at M'Corinick's works, tbe

ing cf Anarchists aud strikers was
arranged for the evening at the Ilay
tuurkfct About 2,000 people ossem
bled, aud after Spies aud Parsons
made speeches of a mild character,
then l'ieldtn mounted the wagon
from which tbe speeches were made,
and delivered a fierce address, call
ing for immediate action in these
words: Arm! Arm ! Tbrottle and
kill tbe low !' Police Inspector Bon
Cold then resolved to disperse the
meeting. Seven companies of po
lice, 175 meu iu all, marched to the
fCfcts As they approached the
wagon I'ieldeo shouted: 'Here ccme
the blood-hounds; you do your duty
and I'll do mine.' He then stepped
from tbo wsgon, and when Donfield
called on the crowd to disperse, FieK
den exclaimed, 'we are peacable' It
is said these words constituted the
signal sgreed apon. After a sileuco
of tea seconds a fizzing sound was
heard at tho mouth of an alley near,
and a little bull of fire dew over tbe
wagon sod fell among the police.
This was followed by a flash aud an
explosion, and one policeman, Ma
thias J. D-gao, was instaotly killed,
six others were mortally and sixty
others less seriously injured. The
police rallied, however, aud dispers
ed the crowd. It is estimated that
twenty people altogether were killed,
including Auutchist Kistler, aud 150
wounded.

THE JLSVEUTUEES CP A WATCH
A cut ions story about a watch has
just developed at Try, Ala Twenty
yean ago Mr. George Ethoridgo,
who lived in the tipper v irt of Pike
county, treated himself to r fine gold
watch, for which he paid $155. Ho
took it Lome, and his father told him
that, inasmuch as he Lad invetled so
much in a wutch, it would bo a good
idea to take down tbo maker's urine
and number, which bo did, without
ever thinking tbut litilo precaution
would ever avail anything. He kept
it uulil lbTG, when a laborer on bis
place took udvuutage of bis absence
one day, broke into bis bouse, and
stile the watch aud chain, and skip

clutches of the law, belaid out io a
