PARIS, July II. = Ravachol, the
Anarchist, murderer and thief, was exc
cuted this morning. He was awakened
at $40 O'Clock by the jailor at Mont
Brisson,and informed that the day Of his
execution had arrived. The condemned
man assumed an air of cynical indiifcr-
ence, and when the ministrations of the
prison chaplain We're offered him he re-
fused to accept them and broke out into
strong invcctive against religion.
In some way the knowledge that this
notorious criminal was to be put to
death this morning became known, and
a noisy and excited crowd gathered
about the place where the guillotlne
was set up, eager to see the end of tho
man who, for II time, by his dynamite
outrages, tcrrorized Paris. The APP
proaches to the scaffold were guarded
by lines of troops, who kept the way
clear for the condemned man and the
execution party.
Ravaschol was brought out of the
prison ina closed van. Though he could
not be seen he could be heard utter
ing blasphemous cries. Slowly the van
passed through the lines Of silent troops,
and drew mp near the spot where the
instrument Of death had been erected.
Once alongside the guillotine the
prisoner was seized by the assistants of
Deibler, the executioner, who soon
bound him hand and foot. His elbows
were drawn back behind him and bound
together, his shirt was opened at the
neck and turned down, and in a
moment his unresisting form was
pushed upon the bascule, the sliding
plank that carries the body forward in
refining position, so that the neck is
directly under the knife.
Jast as he was slid forward Ravachol
shouted: 81 have something to say"
Deibler paid no attention whatever to
this, but proceeded to let the knife drop.
Just us the heavy blade started on its
fall Rayachol shouted "Vive Ia Repub-
lique," and a second later his severed
head was lying in the basket placed to
receive it.
There was not a single incident among
the crowd worthy Of notice.

CRAB FISHING,
The Season Now Fairly Opened--A Very
Important Industry.

1uuHSlFy.
specalCorrespOnGsnce of Gazette ana journal
NEW CASTLE, July 9.-The season for
crab fishing has practically opened in the
Delaware river and bay ana some fine
sport Is anticipated by anglers in this line
during the coming season. While no crabs
are caught by professional fishermen in
this neighborhoJd, the crab fishing indus
try has become very important in the
lower waters of the Delaware. These in
hlbitaiits of tie water are more valuable
in New Jersey than on this side of the
stream. In 1850 the average value of crabs
in New Jersey was 81 per 1000 and in Del
aware us 80 per thousand. In recent years
the tendency has been toward an increase
of price in New Jersey, owing to the grow
ing scarcity of the crabs and the competi-
ton among the fishermen; while in Della
ware, where the demand is less and the
supply comparatively greater, the price
mas declined. The number of localities on
the shores of Delaware ut which king
crabs are taken is small and the fishing
Gentcrs are mostly adjacent 10 fertilizer
factories. The fishery is confined to the
shore and the shallow waters adjacent
thereto, and is prosecuted from boats and
from wagons, according as the men are
regular fishermen OF farmers. The fish
ing is chiefly carried on from Barker's
Landing and Bowers Beach and in the
vicinity of those places. At Bowers
Beach there were only four professional
crab fishermen last year, hut they were
joined by 80 farmers, farm hands and
wood'choppers. The fishermen employed
25'foot scows; the farmers, farm hands,
wood-choppers and other semi-profes-
slonal fishermen at the place made half of
their catch in boats and half in wagons.
In addition to the quantities sold to be
made into fertilizer, about 5000 crabs are
annually utilized as food for hogs. a por-
ton Of the catch is also disposed OF to
vessels sent out by factory operators in

TRIES TO pREyUDIoE DEMOCRATS
+. Eden Bach's Brilliant Tribute Frida,
Night to the Business Ability of Della,



An address was made Friday night by Il.
Eden Bach ut the meeting Of the Third,
Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth wards Re
publican club, Front and Madison streets.
He asserted that Democratic speakers are
attempting to show that strikes are due to
the employers of labor. He claimed that
the assertions are not based on argument
and then volunteered the following logic !:
one OF the most successful manufacturers
of this State, who has been in business
here for over 80 years, during which term
more than Sl5,0OO,0lO has passed through
his hands, IS to-day barely worth SlOOVOO.
This manufacturer, the speaker continued,
has been more successful than nine.tcnthS
of the manufacturers of Delaware. After
paying this remarkable tribute To the bust
ness sagacity of the Diamond State manu-
facturers and adding that the statistics he
gave are matters of record, Mr.. Bach paid
his respects to Senator Gray, and in allu-
sion to some of the platform utterances of
the senator upon industrial matters, said
that his personal opinion is that Senator
Gray attempts to make votes through
prejudice.
