PARIS, April 25.-The restaurant Of
M. Very, who on March 30th delivered
Ravachol, the Anarchist, into the hands
of the police, was utterly wrecked to-
night by bomb explosion. The police
on entering found Very lying on the
floor in the midst of heaps Of debris one
of his legs was broken and had to be
amputated. He died at the hospital
soon after his leg was cut off.
A granddaughter of Very was also
injured, and two ladies living over the
restaurant were badly shaken and
bruised. Very's wife was not injured,
but she has lost her senses owing to the
shock she suffered, and is raving. At
80 p. m. fremen are clearing away
the ruins. Fortunately the damage done
is almost entirely confined to the build
ing in which the restaurant is located.
1t is the general opinion that the ex-
plosion was perpetrated mainly to ter
rorize the jurymen who will be on duty
at Ravachol's trial.
Three persons have been arrested for
the crime. One of them shouted,
"Vive Panarchie, ION being taken into
custody.
The news of the explosion quickly
spread throughout the city, creating
CONSERVATION, especially on the boule-
wards. where exaggerated accounts of
the affair were current.
The cafe is an utter wreck, and the
pavement in the vicinity is completely
strewn with the debris OF furniture, and
the front of the building. A waiter
named Sherot escaped with a slight
bruise, but is suffering from the effects
of the great shock. Several persons,
riding in tramcar passing the build
ing when the explosion occurred, were
injured by being struck with pieces OF
flying glass. The explosion has terror
lied the jury selected to try Ravachol,
and the officials connected in any way
with the trial.
The trial OF Ravachol begins tomor-
row. The rush for tickets of admission
to the court house has been somewhat
dampened by the threats of Socialists
that they will not allow any sentence
egainst him to be carried out. 1t is
feared that one OF them may gain ad-
mission to the court and throw bomb
at the Judge.
L'Eclair publis hes the text of an
arCnlSC prOclalnaCl on, seCretIy pTlHteu
with view to influencing the munich
pal elections, which will he held May
1st. This is violent manifesto advo-
eating neutrality in the elections, which
are denounced as bourgeois farce.
Remember" the manifesto says, Gin
going to the polls you initiate sheep 60
ing to the shambles. Be men learn to
do without rulers and governments;
that is to say, masters and oppressors.
Then, and then only, on the ruins of
the horrible and monstrous past, whose
sole basis and rule was an idiotic
struggle for existence, you may lay the
foundations OF the organization of the
future, resting on free, harmonious in
tegral life, the harmony of quality.
Liberty will then no longer be for
mula, but all may freely produce ac-
cording to their strength, while amply
consuming according to their wants."
1t further urges the working people to
seize the workshops, factories and ware
houses and commence a social revo-
luton.
