The Reds Again at Their Awful
Work In Paris.
SIX PERSONS INSTANTLY KILLED
And Their Bodies Literally Blown TO
Pieces by an Internal Machine
Another Reign of Terror Like
That Inaugurated by Ravachol

PARIS, Nov. a.-An explosion occurred
In this city, yesterday morning, by
which two policemen lost their lives
and another was fatally injured The
affair was undoubtedly the work OF
anarchists, who were seeking revenge
against the Carmaux Mining Co, whose
lonr-continued struggle with their en-
Moves was amicably settled a few days
ago. The anarchists failed In their at
tempt against the company but 8 they
succeeded in killing two policemen they
are jubilant over the outcome OF their
dastardly crime. Early yesterday
morning two policemen were passing
along the Avenue ola Opera. Vixen
thew arrived In front of the office
of the Carmaux Mining Co. they saw
n curious iron vessel resem bling a
saucepan lying close to h building
In which the company's Offices are 10
Gated. They picked the vessel up and
carried it to the police station. where
they and the other officers began to ex-
anime it. They had been investigating
only a few minutes when the vessel
exploded with terrific force. instantly
killing two of the officers and terribly
wounding another, whom the doctors
say cannot recover Quite a humble OF
officers were in the station and it is
miraculous that more OF them were not
killed. The windows Of the building
were blown out, the plastering was
torn off and the furniture broken and
scattered in every direction. In fact
the whole interior of the building was
wrecked. and SO great was the force of
the explosion that even the outer walls
were damaged.
A large crowd gathered about the
wrecked building and the greatest in
dignation was expressed against the
authors Of the outrage. The affair has
caused a renewal of the fears that
were experienced during the time OF
the outrages perpetrated by Ravachol
and his ac~complices. The public be-
lieve that this is the first OF another
series of dynamite explosions. The po-
lice, however, assert that the affair
was an attempt to blow up h offices.
of the Carmaux Mining Co. They say
that had the explosion occurred where
the vessel was found the result would
have been far more disastrous than it
was at the police station.
z WERE SIX KILLED.
The number of persons killed by the
explosion of the dynamite bomb at the
police station, it appears. was six.
The bomb was discovered by the cashier
of the Carmsux company. who noticed
it lying In the entresol of the building.
The instrument was of spherical shape.
and a handle was attached to it. The
cashier called a policeman, who, with
the company's porter, took the bomb
to the station. The clockwork move
ment in the interior of the internal
machine struck while four of the men
who were killed were standing over
and examining it. The havoc caused
was terrible.
THE VICTIMS r
Six persons in all were killed. The
victims were Police Clerks Pousset and
Fagard, who were looking on while
the machine was being examined, As
sistant Superintendent Formorin, who
was called in to see the machine
opened; Police Inspectors Tronto and
Reanx, and an employee of the Carmaux
company named Gain. Several Of
these were torn to pieces by the explo.
sion and the walls of the station house
were spattered with blood. Gain the
Carmaux company's employee, who was
close to the machine when it exploded,
was blown to shreds. A piece of his
head was found in the debris outside
the window. Pousset was horribly
mutilated. One leg was torn off at
the thigh and he was disemboweled.
The station-house floor was covered
with blood which flowed out through
the gaping wounds made by the dyna-
mite. Houses in the neighborhood were
shaken to their foundations
There is no doubt in the minds of the
police that the object of putting the
machine where it was found was to de-
stroy the lives of the Carmaux COM
pany's officials.
