that has shrouded tho city ior tlitco daji
reached a climax to-day. Tho grief It
marked on every hand. Public buildings
iro closed and badges ot mourning

tion for the dead Is visible on the faces
of tho citizens and tho very air seemed
laden with aadmss lint Imbued all ele-
ments slid ccntrlbuted general gloom.
Damp and heavy clouds hung Ibw ttnft of-
icured the sun and a cheerless easterly wind
blew over the magnificent grounds of Grey

The body was dressed In a suit of full
dress with a white pink In the button hole.
A white tie surrounded tho standing collar.
Tho right hand was crossed over the breast;
the head lav partly on tho right side. The
feature white showing some emaciation
did not suggest that the dead man had un-
dergone any extended or considerable
physical suffering. Tho flowers on the cot-
fin tvere composed oi a oouquei oi caua
lilies and white roses which lay near tbe
head ot Ilia casket and at the foot was
plared a sheaf ot palm under smllax and

Smiling and the Weeping" and the casket
was closed. The body was borne out to the
hearse at 10:&0 and carried to the train fot

coachman ot the dead statesman. The
President and his secretary Governor Hill.
Mayor Grace and the delegations followed
to the carriages but neither boarded tho
funeral train. Along tho three mile route
to Yonkers the sides ot the road were alive
with people. Just as the cortege stsrted
from the houso a brisk rain set In but this
did not drive the spectators from the
streets. When the hearse passed between the
crowd hats wero raised and other signs of
respect wero continuously shown. When

bomb exploded and says ho saw Parsons
thero flvo minutes beforo the bomb ex
ploded and said he saw Parsons Mrs.
Parsons and Mrs. Holmes there at ihc
time the bofnb exploded.
W. A. Patterson a Socialist and mem-
ber of the iritcmatlorial tYorklngmen's

8 p. m. Schwab Parsons Flelden and
others were there. Ilau camo In and said
speakers were wnntcd at tlio Haymarkct.
John Hollovtay an Englishman fdld
he was close to the wagon during alt the
speaking and dented that Flelden made
use of Uie expression i "Here como tho

and said ho could not have been mis-
taken When asked to point out Spies
Parsons and tflclden he pointed out
Schwab FIcldcn and ParsoUs lit thclt
order and having done this on the cross
etarnlnstlon wss excused.
Henry Llfldeffleyrr a kalsomlner
testified that he had oCCAftltM to search
the closet In the Arbtlttr-ZritunH CfGco
where the deadly explosives were found
by the police on May 4 and declared that
be saw none there on tuat day. This
v as offered to convey the view that tbe
police took tbe explosives there for the
purpose of convicting Spies and Schwab
On the cross-examination It was cbown
the witness bad long been an Intimate
friend ot Spies and was on the bond of
Spies' brother. The court then ad
journed to 2 p. m.
AKTr.nsoox sicsstn.v.
The two witnesses examined this aft-
ernoon whose testimony has the most
bearing on the case vvera Henry Spies
brother ot tho defendant of that name
and William Snyder. The latter said
that he was Inciity-fivc years old and a
Socialist.
"Where havo you been for the past two
mntith nr an?" nsltprl Pflntnln Ttlark.
"In the county jail."
"Under Indictment for conspiracy In
connection with the Haymarkct riot?"
"Yes sir."
Witness then related how he acted as
chairman at a meeting held at the office
of the Arleiter Ztitung early In tbe even-
ing ol May 4. The meeting he said
was for the purpose ot aiding Mrs. Par-
sons' movement to assist tho sewing-
girls. Witness then testified that ho went to
the Haymarkct mcetlug and got Into the
wagon occupied by the speakers. He
was there when tho police camo up and
tbo bomb exploded. Tbo only Important
points In his testimony were his state-
ments that Spies did not leave the speak
er's wagon during tho meeting and that
Flelden did not fire -t the police.
"Henry Spies you may take the stand"
said Captain Dlack.
Henry Spies is a brother to Spies th
accused and the announcement that he
was to take the stand caused quite a flut-
ter In the court-room. Thero was noth
Ing sensational lu hts testimony how
ever except his statement mado under
oath that the story he told tho officers
who were sent to arrest him aud told
the State's attoToy 'afterward was a
fabrication from beginning to end.
Questioned by CapUIn Illack. the wit-
ness said he attended the Hnymarkvt
meeting with his brother August) that
August and himself tludlng that Parsons
bad not arrived went .as far as Union
street In search of him; that they re-
turned shortly to the speakers' wagon
and bplcs opened the meeting.
"Did you sco Schwab at tho meeting?"
Witness answered In effect that though
be was at the meeting from beginning to
end and all this tlmo tn sight olhls
brother nc tllil not once sec bcliwnu.
The witness then related how he stood
beside the wagon daring tho speaking;
bow when tho bomb exploded he helped
his brother alight from the wagon and
how he strnck down a revolver aimed at
his brother receiving the ball In his own
body. He became separated from his
brother and wenthome to bare his wound
dtcsscd.
"Did your brother say any thing when
the bomb exploded?"
"Yes sir; he satd ho thought It was a
Catling gun."
"Did Spies leave the wagon at any time
during the meeting aud go toward tbo al-
ley?" "Not he remained In the wagon."
"Did you not tell the police who went
to arrest you and found you sick In bed
Horn the effects ol your wound and tell
me later on that yon were not at the Hay-
market meeting at all but were In a sa
loon near Zept's Hall and was coming to
tho door when shot?"
"Yest that Is what I said."
"Well did you He then or now?"
"I lied them now I am under oath and
tell the truth."
August Krucger who said he was or-
derly sergeant and corresponding secre-
tary for tho Lchr and WehrVerein was
also discovered to have lied In his first
statements to the officers. Ills testi-
mony was not valuable.
John F. Waldo it coufessed Anarchist
testified that the police fired two or three
shots btfore the bomb exploded and tbe
court adjourned.

She Hear and Ut Offspring. . .
Early one morning tho cvllicr-wcek
Illchard jracombcr aUouldsboro bnrk-
pecier who wns on his war to tho baric
Woods nbout four miles south of U
Uame sat down to rest In a barren.-
tnoli overlooking n swamp. As bo wat
tiliobs lo rcstimo Ills journey ho saw
n bear com ottl of a tall hollow stump
aud waddlo fflfd the swamp. Mn-
combcr concluded lliat tbo old bear
had a cub or two In the stump and.
as Iio has long desired to ralso ami
tamo" a young bear bo hurried down
t tbC stump soon as ho thought tbo
old tftfar' hftd got a good distance
away. Wlidtt ht reached thn stump
ho found it much fnlUr than It looked
to be from his position on tho knoll.
Years ago tho v;nd bad tmsted tho
trco off abou fifteen feet from tlio
ground arid i'acombcr in order to
get to tho top ot tho stamp ont down
a small trco got a long polo from Its
trunk and then illicit mo iranii enu
of the polo to tho top of tho stump
nnd braced tho other end against tho
ground. Then he climbed tin tho
polo nnd looked Into tho bolo fn tho
stump
His suspicions had boon correct tor
at thd bottom of thu hole whom tho
stump wus at least four feet In diame-
ter a cub bear was poking bU noso
against tho sides of the stump and
morlfig around In a state of apparent
uneasiness. Mncombcr mado ftp UU
mind to got possession of the cub right
nwnr and so he let himself down into .
tho bolo by bracing his arms and knees
atralnst thcsld-s of the votintr boar's
circular prison. When ho got to the
bottom tho cub began to whimper and
whine butMacombcrsclzcdhim quick-
ly and at onco nttomntcd to ellmo out
of tbo stump. One of hit arms had to
be used to hold the trembling cub and
he soon found that getting out of the
stump was far more dlfllcult than get-
ting ID. After Macomber had several
times undertaken to ascend with the
cub in ono arm he put the littlo follow
down for the purpose of ascertaining
whether he wonld bo able to climb out
with tho aid of both arms. IIo found
that be could and then ho took some
strong pieces of cords from his pocket
and was getting ready to fasten tho
cub to bis waist wlicu ho heard a
scratching on tho outside of the stump.
IIo listened and tho next moment
something darkened tho entrance to
thn hole.
He immediately loosened bis hold on
tho whimpering cub and looked up.
As ho did so something began to snid
and snort nnd growC It was tho
mother bear and she was backing
down into tbe hole III great haste. Ma-
comber yelled at her to go back and
lcaro him alone with the cab but she
paid no attention to his command until
no grabbed both of her hind feet when
she uttered a roar and started toward
the entrance witliMacomberhangingon
to her feeb He relinquished his grasp
just as she stuck her head out of tho
hole and braced himself for further -
developments. Tho bear appeared 'to
bo zrcatlr frightened and without at
tempting to turn upon tho invader of -
her lioinu sho clumsilv moved over Iboi"
edgo of tho stump and backcd;Iowa -. s
tho outside. Then Macomber -hurried
out and slid down tho polo with alac-
rity. j he mother bear met him at thn
foot her apparent fright having beca
turned into furious anger. Sho rusher!
at him with n growl of rage and
tumbled him into a heap before hn hail
a chanco to llo? striking him dowv-1-'
kwo or three times as ho wasondcavocjT" "
ing to get up. Mucombur tin ally got
on his feet nnd in his efforts to reach
