A FLOWER MIXERS FRIGHT.
Ills Life Threatened by N Secret society that
lie had Repndinted.

FRANCOIS Lambert, French master de-
sisner In artificial flowers, OF 81 Fast Houston
street, reported to Inspector McDermott, last
pight, that several attempts had been made
upon his life within the past week. Lambert
came to this country two years ago, bringing
with him ll0O valuable tools for the manufacture
OF artificial flowers. The art OF artificial flower
making Is SO important In France that secret
protective society, called the SociftS des Fletrss
was established many years ago. No member
Ia permitted to leave the country without
special permission but Lambert, In defiance of
the rules, came to this country, by invitation of
large manufacturing arm. A few months after
his arrival hc received anonymous letters asking
him To Withdraw. Continuing despite OF the
threats, his fellow worNmen refused to remain
unless Lambert was discharged. The hrIn where
lie worked then invited him TO resign. At the
suggestion of several influential merchants,
Lambert started In a little room In Bleeck ker
street To manufacture flowers Credit was given
him. and orders received. Three times during
his absence, he says, persons forced AN entrance
into his room. and destroyed his work. Lambert
then took lodgings at q East Houston street
prior TO sailing Tor England. On Monday night
last he discovered that "A bottle of wine which
lac kept ia his room contained arsenic On Tues
day night, his door was suddenly thrown
open, but on calling out, the person disappeared.
Since then he has found chloroform poured
upon his pillows and laudanum mixed with his
food. Lambert suspects three men.
