The Situation at Paris Still One Of
Uncertainty and Uneasiness.

which Detective Shinnett was killed. was

outrage.
The explosion oecarred immediately be-
low the window of III room of the chief of
the detective department. q
All the windows in the Vicinity we're
shattered by the explosion. The authori-
ties are making rigid Investigation.
The report that the explosion was po-
litieal outrage is deprecated by police. The
general opinion is that bomb or Internal
maehiue was placed by a person with per-
sopal spite against the detective force.
All day people from all parts of the city
and outlying villages, have gathered in
crowds near the place, Three men and q
woman in side street ahou; 100 yards OF,
were throw to the ground and remained un-
conscious for several minutes. They sus-
tanned few bruises
The walls of the detective office were
cracked by the force of the explosion and
al the windows and window frames broken.
At the spot where the internal machine ex-
ploded the tagging of the court yard was
torn up for several feet and great hole
excayated Ia the earth.
Apparently Synno,t kicked or otherwise
moved the machine away from the wall Of
the building and this very much lcssened
the damage 10 the structure. All the rooms
were strcwn with broken plaster and splin-
tiers of glass.
No arrests have been made in connection
with the outrage, and no clues discovered.

The men went out at ) O'Clock last even

unaware of any trouble until the lights all
over the city went ont and the street cars
stopped. The streets were jsmme1 with
people and there was great confusion and
excitement.
Men were sent out by the companies and
found the street car trolley wires at the foot
of Summit street eut off close to the bridgr
and hanging TO the ground, in danger, in
case any one came in contact with them
Further search showed that the wires were
cut in various places in the suburbs,
As fast as they were connected by thc
limited force on hand the strikers woull
cut them in some new place.
Christmas services in the churches were
suspended for lack of light. Balls
and parties all over the city werr
suddenly cut short and confusion in general
reigned supreme. The cause of the strike
is a demand for the adoption of new

companies promised to consider the matter.
The men would not wait
Cars are running tonight, but the city il

shipwrecks on English Coast.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE British steam
ship Dlbnerg was wrecked off Long End,
near Harwick, last night. The life savers
were unable to board her until daybreak,
when they found several seamen drowned
below the deck. Others Of the crew are
missing, and it is supposed they have
persisted.
Fourteen men belonging to the crew of
the wrecked steamer Dibberg were saved
by fishing smack and landed at Rams
gate last night. The dead body of
the captain was also landed. The Dib-
berg's mate, who is among the saved,
says fearful night was spent aboard
the steamer after she went ashore. The
vessel signaied distress. but no one
seemed to respond. A particularly heavy
wave suddenly broke over the
vessel at midnight, flooding the forecastle
and washing seven OF the crew over
board. One man was afterward washed
and six others were drowned. The re-
mainder of the crew had been compelled
to take to the rigging, the boats having
been destroyed with the exception OF the
lifeboat. which mad a hole in it's
bottom. In the rigging the sur
vivors spent fearful night, the
captain becoming paralyzad and insane
from the exposure. The tide receded at
daybreak and the men then took the life
boat, having patched the hole in the bot
tom with a piece OF tin. They reached
the kentish Rock lighthouse at 4 o'clock
i'll the afternoon. The captain died on the

A friend ofyoung Gould SAID three years

him from going on the turf. Jay Gould
cared nothing at all for horses. and feared
that George would neglect enormous bust
