Expecting the worst.


In this city and in st. Etienne re-
newed arrests of anarchists are taking
place. Stringent precautions are being
taken at the palais de justice to prevent
any manifestation being made tOmor-
row by the anarchists during the trial
of RavachOl. Few applications are be
n% made tor seats, as the people are
fearful of dynamite OutrageS being per
petrated in thu court room, and deem ii
safer TO remain away while the pro-
ceedings are going on. 1t has been de-
cded by the authorities that the trial
will last only one day. even if 1t is
found necessary for the court to sit all
night to finish the case.
1t is not known what course the anar
chSts will pursue, but it is feared that
some of them may in some way gain
admission to the court room, and throw
a bomb SO many dynamite outrageS
have been perpetrated in spite of all
the precautions of the police, that the
public IS willing to believe that the
anarchists will try any scheme, 40 mat
ter how desperate, to prevent RayachOl
from being punished. 1t is certain that
none of the judges is at all anxious to
preside at the trial, as the anarchists
have threatened vengeance against the
Judge who sentences him.
The Eclair today publishes letter,
signed by number Of Ravachol's
friends, addressed to the Jurors who
will sit in the case. The letter appeals
to the jurors to observe impartial fair
ness, and declares that RavaChofs acts
of vengeance were justified by the
criminal Attitude of Judge Renolt and
Public Prosecutor Bullet at the trial of
the Clichy anarchists. The Eclair also

lamation which has been secretly
printed. with a view to influencing the
municipal elections, which will be held
! Nav |. This is a violent manifesto, adj
vocating neutrality IN the elections,
which are denounced as a bourgeois
farce.
Twelve Pounds of Dynamite.
The bomb contained at least twelve
pounds of dynamite and completely
wrecked the establishment. The eX-
| plosion occurred when the wine shop
was half full of guests, and as nearly
as can be learned the bomb was placed
| lust within the outside door of the cor
ridor and at the door leading from the
! corridor into the wine room. NJ. Very
was standing in the middle of the room
when the shock came. He was thrown
| against the wall in heap of shattered
| tables and chairs. The ceiling fell and
several beams were split and fell to the
| floor.
NJ. Very was in a pitiable condition.
| Both of his legs had been crushed by
| the falling beams, his collar bone tract
ured and right arm broken. His little
| boy was found unconscious In corner
with his collar bone broken. OF the
| other ten persons injured three were
taken to the hospital and the others
were helped to their homes by the po-
| lice. Six of them are said to have
boues broken and internal injuries.
Blown TO SplInters.
Half of the front of the wine shop was
| blown out. the stairs of the lover two
stories were smashed to splinters, and
not door or a window in the house was
! left whole. The floor in the corridor
was blown away. The chandelier was
twisted and hurled into corner, and
| where the ceiling and walls were split,
| the plaster was taken off as if scraped
! with a knife. The buildings on each
| side of the wine shop were damaged
from top to bottom. Half of the furni-
| ture was broken and all the glass shat
tered. The whole block around the
wine shop was rocked by the explosion
and the walls were started SO that they
cracked or bulged. The neighborhood
is thiekly populated, and five minutes
