Joining the Hotel de Vile. In mo-
ment scene of the widest excitement
prevailed. The barracks are occupied
by 500 guards, but they were not all in

large number of men asleep there. The
streets in the vicinity were soon filed
with an excited crowd.
The police investigated, and learned
that a dynamite cartridge had been
placed upon the ledge of window of

ground floor of the barracks. Pieces of
the copper casing of the cartridge and
bits of fuse were found. The guards es-
capped without injury. The only harm
done was to the barracks and the build
ings in the vicinity. Hundreds of win
dows were shattered, and the walls of
the barracks and other buildings bear
traces of the explosion.

Every chair in the room had peen blown
from its place, and the room presented a
sorry appearance. The side of the bar

presents the appearance of having been
riddled with shot. There is not whole
pane of glass, and the window frames
are torn and jagged.
