THE PARIS DYNAMITERS.

PARIS, April 20.-1he Eclalr To-Day pup
fishes letter signed by a number of
Ravachols friends, addressed to the jurors
who will sit in his case, which will be
tried tomorrow. The letter appeals to
1ne jurors to observe impartial fairness,
and declares that RavachoPS acts of
vengeance were justified by the criminal
attitude of Judge Benoit and Public
Prosecutor Bulot at the trial of the Clichy
Anarchists The Eclair also publishes
the text of an Anarchist proclamation
which will be printed with view of in
fuencing the municipal election, which
will be held on May !. This is violent
manifesto, advocating neutrality in cleo
tions, which are denounced as bourgeoise
farce.
ANOTHER EXPLOSION.
PARIS, April 25-The restaurant of N.
Very. who, on March 80, delivered Rava-
chol, the Anarchist, into the hands of the
police, was utterly wrecked today by a
bomb explosion. The force of the eX'
plosion was terrific. An enormous crowd
quickly gathered about the shattered
building. The police found Very lying on
the floor of the restaurant in the midst of
heaps of debris, groaning with pain. One
of his legs was broken. He was sent to
the hospital, where it was found necessary
To amputate the leg. A granddaughter
of Very was also injured and two ladies
living in rooms over the restaurant were
badly bruised. Very's wife was not in
cured, but she lost her senses owing to the
severity of the shock suffered and became
d raving maniac. AT this hour 90 o'clock
p. m.) the firemen are clearing away the
ruins. Fortunately. the damage done was
almost entirely confined to the building in
which Very's restaurant is located. A de-
tachment of troops is keeping clear the
roadway before the ruined cafe.
1t is the general opinion that the eX-
plosion was perpetrated mainly to ter
SoriZe the jurymen who will be on duty
at Ravachol's trial. The police think that
the bomb was thrown into the basement
through a grating A policeman, who
was on duty just outside the restaurant
when the explosion occurred, was thrown
10 the pavement by the shock. He states
that he saw nothing suspicious. A
quantity of goods lying exposed in front
Df an adjoining shop were destroyed.
Three persons have been arrested on
suspicion. The news of the explosion
quickly spread throughout the city,
treating CONSERVATION, especially on the
boulevards, where exaggerated reports of
the affair were current.
Later.-Nery died at the hospital soon
nfter the amputation of his leg.
Several persons who were riding in a
tram car, which was passing the building
when the explosion occurred, were injured
10y flying missiles. The explosion has ter
rorIzed the jury selected TO try Ravachol
and the officials who are in any way con-
nected with the trial
In this city and in st. Etienne renewed
arrests of Anarchists are taking
place. Stringent precautions are being
taken at the palace of justice to prevent
amy manifestation from being made by the
Anarchists during the trial of Ravachol
Few applications are being made for seats,
as the people are fearful of dynamite out
1ages being perpetrated in the courtroom,
and deem it safer to remain away while
the proceedings are going on
