K EPT THEIR WORD
The Restaurant in Which Rava-
chol Was Arrested Blown
to Pieces.
w. Very, the Proprietor, Killed
and Several Other Peo-
pie Injured.

n PARIS, April 26,-The restaurant Of Nj.
Very, who on March 30 delivered RayachoI.
the anarchist, into the hands OF the police,
was utterly wrecked to-nightby bomb ex-
plosion. The force Of the explosion was
terrific and widely felt, aud an enormous
crowd Xuickly gathered about theshattered
building.
The police found NJ Very lying on the
floor OF the restaurant, in the midst Of a
heap OF debris, groaning with freight and
pain. One Of his legs had been broken. and
he was sent to hospital, where it has been
found necessary to amputate his leg.
Very died shortly after the operation.
A granddaughter of M. Very was
also injured and two ladies living in
rooms over the restaurant, We're badly
shaken and bruised. Very's wi e was not
injured, but she has lost her senses owing
to the severity Of the shock she suffered
and is raving like a maniac Fortunately
the damageis almost entirely confined to
the building in which Very'c restaurant was
located. e.@ .." II .S...
1t is the general opinion that the explo-
sion was perpetrate mainly to terrorize
the jurymen who will be on duty at Rava-
chops trial. Three persons have
! been arrested on suspicion OF being impli-
Gated in the murderous affair. One of them
shouted ''Vive lanarchie" on being taken
into custody. Very had received no fewer
than fifty or sixty threatening let
tiers from anarchists since Ravachol
was arrested. The runor is cur
rent that all attempt will be
made to assassinate NJ. Quesnay Debeau-
prairie. the prosecutor general, on his way
to court Tomorrow. His residence is
guarded within and without to- night.
