of dynamite stalked in our midst at an early

about the streets, spread " alarm and indig-
nation IN every part Of the capital. The con-
sternation WAS all the more acute as after the
sweeping arrests of last week it was hoped
that the police had at length broken up. if

occupied by a %fruiteler, a chemist, and a coal

Needless TO say that all the Inhabitants
were seizod with a wildfear immediately sitter

to find, however, that they were prisoners in
their respective apartments, the staircase hav-
ing been reduced almost to m~@tchwood. The
criminal had, il fact, followed The example
set in the recent OUTRAGE on the Boulevard
Saint German, and had placed the internal

however. chosen q spot where great resistance
was offered to the explosive, otherwise the
damage done could not possibly have been 40
great. 1t is surmised that the outrage was
directed against = NJ. Bulot, who resides on
the fifth floor, and in his official capacity az
Assistant Public Prosecutor was concerned in
the trial of the Anarchists incu,pated in the
outbreak of May /, 1891. BY a curious
chance, NJ. Bulot's apartment has sustained
less INJURY than any in the house, and he him
self is entirely unhurt. The suits Of rooms
below his were completely wrecked, the doors
being smashed into splinters and the furni-
ture and crooksry hurled in all directions.
BY a painful coincidence Madame Fournier-
the wife Of the ohemist-had been confined
during the night, and she, with the other
tenants, lad to be removed by the life-saving
apparatus of the fire brigade. None Of the
occupants have been allowed to return to their
apartments and will have to seek shelter else
where. So apprehensive are the police of a
general collapse OF the floors that they have
absolutely refused permission to any person 20
re-enter the house, if only for a few moments.
to secure money and valuables. Considering
the immense injury done to the building it is
marvellous how few people were hurt by the
explosion. This is probably due in some
measure to the fact Of it's being Sunday morn
inc, when the people are apt to rise later than
on weekdays, a person in bed being naturally
less liable to injury than one standing up.
Only six individuals were wounded-mostly
by broken glass-snd of these only one, a
domestic servant, was SO badly hurt as to
necessiate her removal to the hospital. NJ.
Fournier received several cuts about the face.
