MARKET Changed.
The proposition to transfer the curb
stone market from King to French street
seems TO have aroused the united opposi-
ton of The merchants and business people
of King and French streets.
One Of the King street merchants COM
menced Friday TO ascertain the state of
opinion on the matter and petition
worded as follows was circulated:
10 the President ant Members Of City courcii:
We the undersigned citizens, Taxpayers and
merchants Of King street. would respectfully
petition your honorable body that the curb
stone market now on King street be allowed to
remain where Ii Is. We know of no merchants
on King street who want 1t removed, as the
street already named Is best adapted for mar
ket purposes in the city.
The petition had over 100 signatures of
King street business men and merchants
last night. Among them are: Isaac II.
Frank. f. NJ. Goldberg Thomas N. Stay
Il. Walker, George Gray, W. II. NECTAR
rity, Mammele Bros, Edward Melchoir,
Mrs. J. L. Sooy Taylor Il Fullerton. q. A.

enough for the signers names would have
added theirs to the list.
Also the French street merchants and
business men are equalled aroused over
the question. They do not want the
market on their street. These include
Harvey & Sisler, Cooling Bros. Robert ,.
Armstrong and many others. The WASH
ington and Delaware fire companies have
also placed a stout veto of condemnation
on the project. One point they make is
that it would impede them in their move.
ments when fire alarm is struck.
The crowd of busy merchants on the
| short block on East Fourth street between
Market and King also set up a cry against
| any attempt whatever of the kind. Their
business largely depends on present condi-
tons and they are lastingly opposed to the
| change.
Cashier John Peoples of the Central
| Bank thinks it would be very unfortl-

PARIS, March 25.-The excitement caused
yesterday at the residence of NJ. Bulot, at
No. 40 Rue Clichy by the dynamite explo-
sion, has in no way abated The affair is
discussed everywhere. and the opinion
gains strength that the authorities have
been to certain extent lax in their watch
fulness.
Parisians ask each other how long this
thing is going to be allowed to go on I'M
checked. In some quarters there are
grumblings against the slowness of the
law in dealing with the cowardly mis-
creants who are afraid to do their
fighting in the open, but who, under
cover of darkness, seek to kill or MAIN
dozens of persons for the sake of
getting revenge upon one who has in
Cured their enmity. Some persons say
that the time is rapidly approaching when
the people will depend no longer upon the
police for protection, but will take the law
into their own hands and rid the city of
Anarchists by hanging them to the most
convenient tree or pole that presents itself
Stringent orders have been given to the
chiefs of police to take into custody any
one whose actions show that they are in
sympathy with the men who delight in
calling themselves Terrorists. 1t is the
general opinion that instead of exciting
terror the Anarchists will arouse such a
wave of indignation that they will be
themselves the greatest sufferers.
An Anarchist pamphlet lately published
warned NJ. Bulot, who was one of the
counsel in a recent trial of Anarchists,
that he would be blown up. Notwith-
standing the recent activity of the Anarch-
lists no attention was paid to the warning,
with the result that they were allowed to
put it into effect and unhindered.
The author of these dynamite explo-
sions is said to be man named Ravachol.
Several of his alleged accomplices have
been arrested, but the police, though
it is claimed they are making the most
superhuman efforts to capture him, have
not been able TO do so.
