These hearty expressions of appreciation and good will may not penetrate the lonely re cuses of the Adirondack woods, put they are none the less valuable to show which way the wind blows in the open. President Diaz, who, for all one knows, may look upon the Cutting epi sode as just the sort of diversion to keep his revolutionary pots from boiling over, has something more important'- on hau'd than repeating the blunder of Santa Anna. Diaz has set his heart on drain ing the Ci'y of Mexico, where, for lack of good sewers, death's guns mow down some ten. thousand persons a year. The Delaware democratic S tate con vention nominated ex -Congressman Ben jamin T.

Wheat is "spewed out" by the freezing of: the water in the ground. Dry earth does pot freeze; no degieefof cold will cause it to expand. But water expands; henoe, when the water in the ground freeies it hoists the surface up, and wheat plants with it. The wet ground, being heavier than the roots of the. wheat, settles down in the spring, leaving the foots exposed. Underdraimng lessens this, because it removes all surplus ; water from the ground. Plants really require very little moisture about their roots. Just that amount which will impercepti bly diffuse itself through the earth, is best; More suffocates the plant ! Un derdraimng reduces the water in the soil to, or maintains - W at the proper amount ; hence undprdraining is the most effective means against winter killin sr. Makine th seed-bed verv fine and solid has the same effect. There is no surplus of water, and the water 1b d'ffused .through the ground It is known that wheat on compact ground is not spewed out as u wheat on loose ground. This is accounted for by the greater resists noe which compact ground would offer to the frost, and also the greater tenacity witn wnien n would embrace the roots But gtound cannot be so compacted as to resist the exnansive foroe of freezing water.' The reason is that there is less water to ex pand. Besides the, grain 'germinates most readily in compact soil, and the plant is more thrifty in fite ground hence plants in such a seed-bed have more vigor to endure the winter.- The work on the seed bed for' wheat should begin early and be thorough It is told in St Paul that the children in Minneapolis, its near-by I and ; hated rival, hav refused to read the Bible in the publio schools because it is 'filled full of talk about St. Paul,'' whifofxom Genesis to Revelations there is no men tion made of.

There were a number of rumors afloat this morning about the jury in the anarchists' c 89, but no means of accurately deter mining any of these rumors and until the verdict given, at 10 o'clock, no ab solute credence could be given to any of them. The twelve jurymen remain ed in their room at the Revere house, jast across the street from the criminal court room. About this building were a large number of police, to prevent any attempt to break in upon the privacy of the jury. In front of the main entrance to the court house were thirty policemn and three lines of police and court bai liffs had to be encountered before any one could approach the court room. At 9 o'clock there were twenty police in uniform In the court room and several press representatives. The ourt offi cials decided that the relatives of the prisoners should be allowed in the court room, and at 9.15 o'clock a sister of Spies, ; with another young woman, made her appearance. She moved as though she would proceed to close proximity to the chairs heretofore occu pied by the prisoners, but was motioned to a seat on the opposite side of the court room, in the rear of the line of police officers, thus indicating that the prisoners were not to be surrounded bv their advisers. Shortly afterward the mother of Spies, accompanied by her younger son, also entered the court room and took scats on the back benches. The jury left, their hotel at 9 16 o'clock, and under the guidance of ten bailiffs took their way to the oourt house and were con ducted to another room, immediately adjoining the main court room. At y ZU Mrs. r arsons entered the court roonuwith her reticule, accompanied by the woman who has attended her throughout the trial. She was given a scat between two policemen, and with two policemen immediately in her rear. Whether this precaution was to guard against any extraordinary exploit in the court room or not, of course is not known, but the .seat accorded the female anarchist was deemed significant. By 9.30 o'eloek the crowd in the court room numbered about one hundred, but was still composed, with the exception of the persons named, of police, court bailiffa and press representatives. Mrs. Black, wife of the chief counsel for the prisoners, who had been in court daily, proceeded to take 1 her former seat near the prisoners, but was re quested to take a seat on the opposite side ef the court room. Mrs. Black re marked to a newspaper reporter, as she laid her package of newspapers down, Well, they say it has all gone against our men. Ihey take it very well, though. They seem to expect it." The sheriff refused to allow any one to see the pr'ioners and no one has been permuted to enter the jail since the case was given the jury. The tremendous interest taken in the outcome of the, trial and the finding o? the jury was illustrated by the crowd wiuun gauerea in irons ot tne court house to await the announcement. Nearly two thousand people were gath ered, on Michigan street in front of the main entrance to the building, gazing up at the windows. Judge Gray arrived at 9.47, and almost at the same moment Capt, Black and Mr. Zsigler, completing uk quartette of the defendant s oounsel, arrived. Capt. Black remarked to his wife when he entered, "I have just had a talk with the prisoners. They have seen the papers and know what the probable outcome is." "They will laugh at death." said the attorney with a 'half tragic air. He de clared that they would show no excitement. Quite a number of at torneys were allowed to come wit Liu the railing, which served to give the room a somewhat more crowded ap peal ance. The prisoners were brought into tne court room at v.oz o ciocx ana were seated at the northern corner of the court room, on some side benches. The cou:t was called to order at 9.54. The prisoners were observable to the eyes of but very few in the court room They presented about their usual ap- ftearanoe, though Spies and Fischer ooked deathly pale. The jury arrived at 9.55. There was an impressive silence as they filed in. When the jury ap peared, judge Gray enjoined absolute silence. There was a whispered consul tation between the judge and clerk. when the verdict was ral, as follows : We the jury find the defendants. Avgust Spies, Michael Schwab, Samuel Fielding, Albert ;R. Parsoas, Adolph Fischer, George Engel and Louis Lingg guilty of murder, as charged in the in dictment, and fix the penalty at death We hid the defendant Uaoar W. Neebe guilty of murder in the manner and form as ehargod in the indictment and fix th'e penalty at imprisonment in the peniten tiary for fifteen years." Capt. Black asked that the jury be polled. ,The jurymen answered with nrm voices Capt. Black said he would desire to make a motion for a new trial. State's 11 . a. a a .a attorney urinneii saia it would be im possible to dispose of the motion during tho present term, but by agreement the motion could be argued at the Septem ber term. This was agreed to by the defense. The court let the motion be entered and continued until the next term and the defendants were taken baok to jail. The court then arose and addressed the jury as follows ''Gentlemen of the jury: You have finished this ' long and very arduous trial, which has required very consider able sacrifice; of time and some hard ships. I hope that everything has ben done that could possibly be done to make those sacrifices and hardships as mild as might be permitted. It does not become me to say anything in regard to the case that ; you have tried or the verdict you have tendered, but inhn oompulsorily ! serving as jurors as you bave done deserve some recognition of the service you have performed, besides the meagre compensation you have' re ceived, i i 7 The foreman of the grand jury said: "The jury hve deputed tafie the only agreeable duty that it is in our province to perform, and that is to thank the court and counsel for the defense and the prosecution for your kindly care fci make us as i comfortable vas possible during our confinement. W thank yon' The court responded verv briefly. The prisoners! had fktkd out during thin ..-3 JJ it.. ;j . : -i-zr. interim, onaer iu guiaauoe oi minus. Hardly had the jury left the room when ra-piercing shriek was heard, followed by the heavy fall of the wife of Schwab to the floor, to whom the result of the verdict had been interpreted. She ; is also a Bister of Schnaubel, the alleged bomb-thrower. She was carried out to the air by the police and soon revived. Mrs. Parsons looked haggard as she started to leave the court room, but maintained a moderate degree of composure. The crowd remained outside for an hour after the reading of the verdict. It; is understood that the authorities now contemplate the immediate arrest of all persons even 'indirectly connected with the Haymarket tragedy, for conspiracy, and that in this knowledge many of the active leaders, hearing the outcome of the verdict, are preparing to leave: the oity. ' ;j ; , All the relatives and personal friends of the condemned anarchists immediate ly left the court room. Shortly after, the swooning of Mrs. Schw.b.Mrs. Parso'f s and her female companion, after leav ing the oourt room, returned and seated themselves by Gen. W. H Parson, ;of Texas, brother of one of one of the con demned. Tho trio discussed the outbejdae among themselves. The prisoners wero oonveyed through the covered-archway which leads from the court room to the jail and were at opce placed in the "cage," a small compartment near the entrance to 'the jail, which is hetvily barred and i very completely covered with thick wire netting. They were joined there shortly by their attorneys, who extended to them what encourage-, ment was in their power of the relief, pf an appeal, j Spies had divested himself of his coat and seemed to be most thoroughly com-; posed at 8 o'eloek. He declined to can-: verse with any one but his attorneys, but it Is stated that he had a premonition; that his fate was sealed. Engel, who has maintained ; a very:; quiet air throughout the trial, appeared to be the most thoroughly depressed; man of the j lot. He sat on a bench with his hinds clenched in front' of him, looking . at the fiobr.; He did not even look up a second at a; remark from one of his companions. Lingg. the young bomb-maker, wdked about the cage somewhat nervously and would not respond to a salutation by the newspaper representatives. He had lost his smile, and he displayed the' effect of the excitement of the ordeal of the morning !by a complete loss of color.; Parsons, who had given himself up for trial, looked disconcerted and broken down, but joined at intervals in the questions directed at the attorneys.: Fischer, wh. had looked very badly during the trial, having an almost ab solutely oolorless face, had ' in a meas ure recovered himself and smoked a cigar as he : listened to an inter change of views between the ooan-; set and Spies; Fielden, the Englishman, sat in the box at the side of Eugel and offered very little comment during the talk. Sshwab stood near Spies, taking in the conversation,' but offered . no i re mark. Neebe, who was given fifteen V jars in the penben iar wai thorough y composed ana appeared as mougn he was grateful that he had escaped "the death penalty. None of the friends or relatives of the prisoners had appeared at the up to the noon hour. After the attorneys bad departed the prisoners were taken from their former ceils and placed in the cells on what is known as the "murdete-b' row. The jury after haying received their pay were driven away in carriages to escape the linger ing crowds outside of the nil. Mr. Zeiglcr. of counsel for tl e defense, said that ho believed that the verdiot was "against anarohy and not the anarchists on trial." He thought the verdict was a great surprise to ; mate s-attorney urmneu himself. The people stood in groups on all the streets leading to the court rooms and eagerly purchased various editions of papers which followed each other rapidly. During the reading of the verdict: tho prisoners were com plotely hidden from the view of every one in the opurt room a cordon of ponce completely surrounding them, and what ever immediate effect the reading of the verdiot had upon them could not be discerned. The precautions of the po lice were apparently laid so as to guard against any demonstriW tion by the prisoners or their friends, of any character whatever The motion for a new trial is expected to be heard early next mouth. If it is overruled judge Gary will pronounce sentence and fix the date for the: carry ing out of the death penalty. The case will go to the supreme oourt for review It is the generally expressed view of lawyers that the supreme oourt will not interfere if judge Gary refuses a hew trial, as the court, it is contended, ruled with great liberality towards the defen dants oounsel, and read to the jury nearly every instruction asked for on behalf of the defendants. "We had our verdict made up before 7 o'clock last night," said C. B. Toole, who was one of the first jurors accepted. "I don't think I ought to tell you why we did not reach a conclusion sooner, for we resolved not to make public our deliberations." "What speech had the greatest weight with the jury?" "Grinnell's; itwasnot an ornate speech, but it showed the honesty of the man; showed how earnest he was. He made everything so plain that we fell into his way of looking at the ease, but in doing that we were only obeying our judgment. I think that at the conclusion of the evidence, and without any speech at all, we would have arrived at the same conclusion." The exoiteraent of the crowd in front of the court house was something in tense. While the verdiot was being awaitid there was none of the joking and laughing that are heard on the only other occasion that brings a mob to stand without the dreary walls -the ex ecution of a convicted criminal. Each man seemed to be holding his breath, and such conversations as were held were in a low tone, and related solely to one topio the probable conviction of the eight prisoners, who were waiting for the hour which was to mean life or death to them. There was a oordon of police stretched along the sidewalk in front of the outer stairs of the build ing. A dozen blue-ooats mingled with the crowds, and more stood guard over the little gate in the alley that leads to the jail yard. Detectives and policemen in citizens' clothes were everywhere to be seen. There was also a regular guard at the street entrance to the building and a deputy sheriff and two officers were stationed on the iron stairway leading to the oourt room. A young man, hatless, and with his coat buttoned up tight around him, stood at the door of the v court. He had no sooner heard the verdict than he hurled himself down the olanging iron stairs, and rushing up to one of the officers at the door, breathlessly yelled: "Ihey hanz seven." Those in the front ranks Of the crowd heard the words and they gae a cheer and the rest of the waiters took up the hurrah when the news was communicated to them and repeated it many times over. It sounded like a knell to the prisoners, but it was an assurance to the tired jurors of what they must have almost known all along, that the excitement had not abated since the morning of May 5. At 2 o clock this afternoon a large force of police was gathered at the Chicago polico station, under command of Capt. Schaack, and a little later chief Ebersold arrived. It is a current rumor around town that the police have a list containing the names of nearly 300 persons Who were engaged in. the anar chist conspiracy and that' Wholesale ar rests will henoeforth be the order.

Wove : Waa, W ladla" In tola Oxford Torchlight. f A strange looking spider weaving a most remarkable web' attracted a large ' crowd to the rear of Mr. J. E Odet heimer's ! shoeshop one afternoon, last week. The web was; of ordinary size and texture, but in the centre appeared plainly the following characters, aa if . worked in with the most delicate white silk floss : I W ! : INDIA.
