was thrown ana eSplOueu IN Jne cnan-
ber of deputies Saturday while the
chamber was in session. The bomb
was thrown from the right gallery at
about o'clock. Over eighty people
were wounded, of whom fifteen were
deputies Among the deputies hurt
are: NJ. Casanove, De Pradino, Able
Lemaire, De Tanjeunaia, lie Clech and
Coulter. The injuries of the victims
are in many cases serious, but it is not
| yet known that any fatalities will re-
/ suit.
The miscreant who threw the deadly
missile has been captured. He now
! lies in the hospital suffering from Sc
we're wounds, bit glorying in his crime
: He is a man 30 years old, leather
/ worker, and member of u group of
! anarchists known as Les Solitaires
/ They are dynamiters who are supposed
TO plan and commit outragcs without
! accomplices.
August Valiant is the real name of
| the villain, who was among those de-
| tanned by the closing of the gates whe n
| the crowd sought to escape from the
scene of the explosion. A fragment of
his bomb had torn away a portion of
street with blood streaming from his
face when stopped by the soldiers
! Sunday morning he was reeXamined
with the other suspects. The police
I had learned that he had given false
name He admitted this and confessed
| his crime.
He expressed great regret that he
failed in his object, which was to kill
President Dupuy and several members
of the cabinet. He had sought to
throw the missile to strike in
front of the presidents desk,
and had leaned to one side to
! avoid hitting the ladies seated in front
of him in an awkward position. One
glass vessel in the center of the bulb
contained picric acid, one contained
| prussiate of potash, and another, con-
Meeting the two, had cotton soaked in
! sulphuric acid. When the machine was
inverted explosion would follow.
In the course of the business of the
! house the election of NJ. Mierman
came up for discussion. NJ. Mierman
had been speaking from the tribune and
had just descended to resume his seat,
when a man in the gallery threw a
bomb toward the floor of the house.
! The bomb must have had a time fuse
attached to it, for as it passed the head
of Prof. Lemiere, deputy for Haze
bruck, it exploded with terrific re-
| port. A dense cloud of smoke and
dust assembled, shutting out from view
for time those sitting in the body of
| the house.
For n single instant the house was
perfectly quiet, and then the memb bers
and others realizing what had oc-
Cured, there was the widest ex-
citement. The officers detailed to
guard the chamber were the first
to regain their senses. They at
once shut the great doors leading to
the chamber to prevent the escape of
the bomb-thrower. The people in the
galleries fled in disorder
On the floor of the house the excite
ment was fully as great as that
in the galleries. Many of the mem bers
rushed for the exits, fearing every mo-
ment to hear another explosion. NJ.
Dupuy, the president of the cham ber,
who was himself slightly hurt, was ap-
parently the coolest man in the cham
bcr. The excitement among the luem-
bers, wild though it was, did not last
long. The wounded were taken to the
committee rooms and medical as
sistance was hastily summoned to at
tend them.
AS soon as the smoke and dust had
cleared away the members resumed
their seats and business proceeded. NJ.
Montfort assembled the tribune and in
perfectly steady voice took up the
discussion of the question before the
house as though nothing out OF
the ordinary had occurred. When
the discussion had been finished
NJ. Casimir Perier, the prime
minister, said that he did not wish to
interrupt the business of the chamber,
but he felt compelled to assure the
house that the government could be
relied upon to deal with the matter
in the most rigorous and energetic
manner He closed with the words
Society has laws with which to
defend itself against such crimes as the
one just committed and we shall not
hesitate to use them to protect our in
stitutions." NJ. Dupuy said that he
and the entire chamber desired that
their sympathy be conveyed to the
with emotion:
such outrages cannot disturb the cham
Der. We shall continue our labors, and
after We exhaust the order OF the day the
chamber ofhcials will do their duty in regard &c
the outrases" This statement was generally
a2plauded.
TIE number of persons arrested in
the chamber on suspicion is twenty.
