Organized Assassins.
In the case Of NJ. Olivier two young
criminals, Ivorol and Gaudissary, were
captured and confessed to their guilt,
and the police, from certain facts which
came into their possession at that time,
believe that both the Olivier murder
and the assassination of Baroness DEL

of aSSaSSinS, more numerous and more
extensive III Jnelr ORGANIZATION tndn at
first supposed. and that Lieut.. Anastuy,
who is diSSipated man, known to be
overloaded with debt and who bears a
very bad reputation. was possibly the
chief of this gang of assasSins.
The prisoner, who was arrested in a
cafe where he was enjoying himself
with some Of his associates, insisted
that he was innocent of the crime
charged against him, but the police are
confident that they have the right man
in custody. Lieut.. AnaStuy is said to
be a former friend of the baron. The
police have in their possession a kid
glove dropped by the murderer and a
knife of English make. stamped with
the initials IF. NJ with which the
crime was committed.
The distinguished position which the
murdered baroness occupied, the brave
dOingS of her ancestors and relatives,
and the position in society which both
she and her son occupied, coupled with
the bold, c0ld-blooded audacity with
which the crime was committed, in the
daytime. in fully Inhabited house in a
populouS and fashionable DeighborhOod,
have caused Paris, France, and even
Europe at large, TO take the greatest
possible interest in the case. The ease
with which the murderer escaped caused
perfect panic among the upper and
middle class population of Paris, who
began to imagine that they were no
longer safe from such attacks.

later $50 were offered, and in 1890
the promised reward was increased
to 1000 ducatS. She had

Small Boy With a Rat Came
Out.
Everything was as peaceful and good
natured at the corner of Sixth avenue
and Eighteenth street the other after
noon as any spot on the face of the
earth, says NJ. Quad in the New York
Evening World. 1t was exactly 3
O'Clock, with the weather neither too
cold nor too warm, and even the street
car drivers smiled an sang as they had
to wait five minutes for brewers de-
livery wagon to rip the wheelS off of
two butcher carts and break the block
which was interruptin traffic.
Almost as swiftly as a stroke of
lightning everything was changed. A
lad appeared from the front door of
house in Eighteenth, near the corner,
with rat trap held high in his hand.
The trap contained rat
an old veteran, who had probably eaten
twenty times his weight in good
New York cheese. For years and years
he had been too fly for those who had
sought his destruction, but the pitcher
had gone to the we'll once too
often. He was sQealing and
squirming about, but there was
no one to pity. The boy had scarce
" descended the steps when there was
a rush for him and men and BOYS were
heard shouting: He's got a rat"
'Lemme git my dog" Good gracious
what whopper." Don't let him git
away"
The man who knows all about rats
was there, Of course. Also the man who
has made the killing of rats a speciality
all his life. They worked their way to
the front. You don't want to fool
with that rat" cautioned the first.

I!' Don't Interfere with me-" Three
or four dogs were now brought into the
crowd. The man who is always willing
to boss the job also got off the street car
and elbowed his way in to demand:
whats all this fuss about? A rat, ehI
Now, then, everybody stand backI
Gimme the trap" The boy demurred.
1t was his trap and his rat. He felt
that he ought to be consulted. Letter

the man with the red neck
A policeman now appeared. He be-
gan to use his official elbows to open
path for his body, but the crowd resent
ed the action and began to hustle him
until he threatened to collar some one
Meanwhile the TWO men who knew all
about rats wtrc jawing with the man
who wanted to boss the job, and the
boy was declaring that his broth
er would lick the man who stole
his rodent. You're liar.' "Hit him
Onel" Look out for the cOpp'
The crowd began to circle around, and
the boy fell down and lost the trap.
Some one picked it up and shook the
rat out, and dogs aad men and boys
were all mixed up and falling over each
other. In the confusion the rat got
away into the sewer; the policeman
raped three men on the back with his
club. and the crowd dissolved, leaving
about dozen hats kicking around on
the battle ground. Then a lot of people
shook their fists in the air, and another
lot called somebody a liar, and every
body went away threatening o get
