RAVACHOL'S GRIMES.
II is Believed His Arrest Will End
Paris Dynamite 0utrages.
BETRAYED BY AN ACC0MPLIoE

All Concerned in the Capture of the
Anarchist King Rewarded by the
Government-A Rumor That Roy-
aiists Aid the cAnarchists-Anothe
Church Riot.
PARIS, April lit is said the more
"advanced members Of the municipal
council assert that the Royalists are
supplying the anarchists with funds to
enable them to carry out their nefarious
designs in order to embarrass the gov
ernment. This idea, however, is not
received with much credence The
agents of the Royalists are too well
known to the police to be able to at
tempt such thing, even If they were
inclined to do so, which Ia altogether
improbable. The suggestion arises
from the fact that most of the anar-
chists are penurious and must have
wealthy supporters in some direction,
as the dynamite outrages are too expen-
sive to be carried out without good
deal OF money.
1t is calculated that during the past
four years these have been $50 outrages
IL Europe, and only the merest fraction
OF the total number of the perpetrators
has been brought to justice.
RavachoTs Many Crimes
The government looks upon the arrest
OF Ravachol as of the greatest import
ance, not only in that it has thrown into
Its hands man already condemned to
death for murder, but it is believed that
his capture will put an end to the dyna-
mite outrages in Paris. No doubt is en-
tertained that he is a most dangerous
criminal, and his incarceration has re-
moved great source Of uneasiness and
trouble.
Ravachol's examination occupied five
hours, and revealed that he is a greater
villain than even the police supposed
He confessed the murder of the old her
NIT of Notre Dame de Grace. He de-
MED the murders of an old man servant
at Varizelle in 1885 and his former wife
IN 1883, but many discrepancies appeared
In his replies.
Some time ago an old man was killed
with an ak which belonged to the VIC
tim. The murderer stole money and
valuables and escaped Ravachol was
questioned as to this crime, and here,
too, his denial was very weak. He ad-
mltted that he was graveyard ghoul,
and told of a number of graves that he
had robbed. When the police searched
his lodgings they found set of counter
feiters tools. He coolly acknowledged
that he belonged to gang of counter
feiters, but refused to make any admis-
sion that would lead to the detection Of
his confederate1.
Admits the st. Germain Explosion.
The Echo states that Ravachol has
admitted that he was the author of the
Boulevard st. German explosion.
The chief detective asserts that Chau-
martin, an accomplice of Ravachol, now
under arrest. betrayed his leader and
told the police that Ravachol intended
to blow mp the house of M. Bulot. Rava.
chol lived at St. Mande, near the wood
OF Vincennes, four miles southeast Of
Paris. He was seen going to Paris sun
day morning, carrying with him small
portmantear.
Ravachol is watched in prison night
and day by three detectives. He is the
iliegitimate son of German parents and
was born in France.
The government has awarded or in
tends to reward every one in any way
connected with the making of the ar
rest. The proprietor of the wine shop
and the waiter who notified the police
have received 900 francs. The police
commissary will be decorated with the
ribbon of the Legion of Honor, and the
Six gendarmes will receive medals and
be promoted.
Ihe raids and arrests have frightened
the anarchists. They no longer make
loud threats in public. The police think
that some have thrown into the Seine
large quantities of stolen dynamite and
internal machines to escape capture.
The bottom of the river will be searched
for explosives.
Another Church Riot.
All the clergy have not obeyed the
order of Cardinal Richard, archbishop
OF Paris, forbidding them to discuss
political or social questions publicly. At
tile Church Of st. Nicholas the preacher
made allusions to the social question,
Some of his hearers objected and made
an attack upon others who supported
him.
The latter defended themselves. and
alter lively fight succeeded in driving
their assailants from the church. The
hitter procured reinforcements, and as
the people We're leaving the church
made rush upon them, and q sharp
scrimmage followed, during which sew
eral We're severely injured. The police
dispersed the crowd. Several were ar
rested.
The police have discovered dynamite
store at Montreuil-sous-B Bois, a town
three and one.half miles east of Pariss,
Ali the explosives in the place were
seized and the proprietor was arrested.
