The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-12-10

passed, GUeSde rushed at him and eX-
claimed: "This is all your fault. If you
had made us any concessions it never
would have happened"
WOULD HAVE COST MANY LIVES.
M Clement, commissary of police, who
was in the chamber half an hour after the
explosion occurred, had already col
lected much evidence before the cham
Der adjourned, and said: THE
bomb is said generally to have
given out a fame like that from a
roman candle. 1t must have contained
nitroglycerine. fortunately it burst in
mid air. If it had touched the floor
where it was aimed to strike the destruc-
tion of life would have been terrible. 1t
seems to have been loaded mostly with
mails having large heads. These nails
have been found in every part of the
chamber
After the chamber adjourned small
army of physicians and nurses arrived.
They took possession OF the committee
rooms and speedily transformed them
! into hospitals.
SOME OF THE INJURED.
The names of the deputies who had
been wounded were given out very slowly.
Consequently many false reports got
abroad, and scores of friends and rela-
tives crowded to the Palais Bourbon to
make inquiries. AT O'Clock this list, in
addition to the small one already given,
was obtained:
Comte de Montalbert. Catholic conserv-
alive for the Nord, several cuts; none
serious.
Henry Boucher, republican for the
| Nosges, and captain in the last war,
slightly bruised
Baron Gerard, conservative for Galva-
nos, many bruises.
Georges Cochery, republican for the
| n md q OH lirYs .F Io Of
Honor, several cuts and bruises.
lie FOullOn, Cazenove de Paradine,
Baron Rene Charles Reille, Jean Plichon
and Alexander Dumas, a lawyer, all slight
injuries.
DUPUY CUT IN THE CHEEK.
Premier Dupuy was cut in the cheek
by flying scrap Of iron but he stopped
the slight flow of blood with his handker-
chief and declined medical aid.
Gen. Jean Baptiste Billot, senator, ex-
minister of war, and a grand officer of
the Legion of Honor, was watching the
proceedings in the chamber when the
bomb was thrown. Several scraps ofiron
struck him, infiicting painful but not dan
gerous flesh wounds.
Berthol Greville, parliamentary re-
porter and an editorial writer on the staff
of the Echo de Paris, was wounded Sc
verely, but not dangerously in the head.
A Roumanian colonel, who was passing
his furlougn in Paris, was in the front
row Of the gallery when the bomb ex-
ploded. He was hit in the head by a rag
ged piece of metal, and fell unconscious
and bleeding TO the floor. He was car
rled to one of the committee rooms. The
physicians there pronounced his injuries
serious, although probably not fatal.
INFANTRY CALLED OUT.
The moment the news Of the explosion
got abroad, infantry were brought upon
the dOuble-Quick, the gates were closed,
and for an hour no one was allowed to 90
from the building.
The chamber this evening looks as if it
had been swept by riot. Many desks
and chairs lie where they fell, after hav-
ing been wrenched from the floor In
several places the floor and furniture are
spattered with blood.
Three hours after the explosion it was
impossible TO learn whether or not the
bomb thrower had been arrested. Some.
who were in the galleries, said he had
time to escape before the galleries were
cleared. Others are positive that the
arm with which he threw the bomb was
torn off by the explosion, and that he was
carried with the other wounded into the
committee room. Persons who say they
saw him throw the bomb, describe him
tall, fair and wearing a full beard.
THROWN FROM THE SMALL GALLERY.
Several members of the chamber said
in interviews this evening that the bomb
was thrown from the small gallery di-
rectly opposite the presidents seat. Ad-
mission to this gallery is granted to any
decently dressed person applying for a
place in it. To-day it was occupied by
sixteen persons, two of whom, Legros
and Lenoir, were wounded by the ex-
plosion
The calmest person in the house was
Premier Dupuy. He did not even rise
or start from his seat and his voice call
ing for order was the first signal for the
abatement of the panic. His voice domi-
mated the uproar Several deputies, who
are engineers, were in the chamber this
evening. They express doubts that dyna-
mite was the explosive in the bomb
A fine gray dust has settled over
everything in the chamber.
AN UNPRECEDENTED SCENE.
The scene in and around the Palaise
Bourbon throughout the evening was un-
precedented. Mattresses and stretchers,
ambulances and vans were brought slowly
through the waiting crowd to the doors
of the building. Physicians and nurses
came and went. Public officials, both of
the civil and police service, were hurry
ing back and forth Within the white
rObed nurses were Fastening through the
committee rooms and physicians with
instruments In hands went from bedside
to bedside A constant procession of
porters carrying redeemed basing issued
from the corridors, while orderlies at the
committee room doors were tearing
bandages and preparing lint under the
direction of the nurses. The air of the
whole building is redolent of antiseptics.
EXCITEMENT IN THE CITY.
The excitement throughout the city
this evening has not been less than in the
immediate neigborhood of the Palais
Bourbon. The streets are crowded
and the public resorts packed.
The newspapers have published
seven or eight editions, and each
and every copy has been snapped
up eagerly The telegraph and telephone
offices are filled to the doors with persons
sending and receiving dispatches con
cerning the explosion.
Tonight at 10 o'clock it was announced
that as far as known thirty deputies and
fifty Onlookers had been injured by the
explosion. Many of these eighty, how
ever, received only scratches.
THE SUSPECTS
Strong suspicion is felt against Lenior
and Legros who sat in the gallery from
which the bomb came and both were
wounded. Both refused to take off their
