Paris, Dec. 9.-While the chamber of
deputies was in session this afternoon,
a bomb was thrown from one of the
galleries and after a double report ex-
ploded amidst the lawmakers.
A scene of terrible excitement fol-
lowed. The crowds in the galleries
were seized with panic and through
binding smoke and dust fought
flercely to escape from the building.
The police, however, with great
promptness. had closed every exit to
the streets and instituted at once a
most searching investigation for the
criminals.
Both in the galleries and on the
floor of the chamber many persons,
including women. were hurt more or
less seriously, but SO far as known
only one fatally wounded.
1t was p. m. when the bomb was
thrown. The ladies fed shrieking
from the gallery. Burton Traiben, a
newspaper man, was badly wounded
in the head.
The halls of the chamber of deputies
are still filled with affrighted people
and it is impossible to learn the extent
of the damage, as the police have
drawn a Gordon about the building and
allow no details to reach the public.
Notwithstanding the denials of the
police that anybody was killed 1t is
insisted that two deputies are dead
and many wounded, but the probabili-
ties are that the police statement is
correct, though doubtless a number OF
deputies are wounded. Among them
are mentioned Dumas, deputy from
Allier. 1t is said the bomb was filled
with slugs, which were thrown in all
directions, some going into the gal
leIies. The police have arrested a
number of persons who were IN tne
galleries at the time. One is said tc
be the man who threw the bomb
President Dupuy is said to have be
|hayed with the utmost GOODNESS, doing
much to allay the panic.
The deputy seriously wounded is not
Lenyre De Vilers. but Socialist
deputy, Able LIE Marie, who IS serl-
|ously wounded in the neck.
In the midst of the Understandable
Econmotien the verif1cation OF tht
IDENTITIES was resumed. Meantime, thu
wounded deputies were removed to thu
ante-rooms, attended by physicians.
Deputy LIE Marie, though seriously
hurt. will probably recover. AT leas
a score of persons in the tribunes anc
the galleries were wounded badly
enough to require medical aid. They
suffered all sorts of wounds and the
ante-rooms presented a sanguinary ap
pearance.
Among the wounded, were number
of women.
The walls in many places in the
neighborhood of the explosion were
tspIashed with blood.
It is now believed the man who
threw the bomb escaped, and that ht
was wounded; that the bomb eN
ploded as it left his hand. which &C
counts for the number wounded in thu
galleries.
Had it fallen among the deputies o
the right, from whom it was doubtless
intended, numbers must have beer
killed.
A number of journalists are more
or less wounded.
Scattered about on the floor were
many pieces of iron resembling mai
heads.
When quiet was somewhat restored
lit was discovered that nobody hac

chamber to order. Part of the deputies
