A GOOD DAYS WORK.
What the Associated Charities Has Been
Doing Today

Rev B. Z. Smith, president of the AS
sociated Charities, who is now in active
charge of the work. said this afternoon
that the association has today supplied
over sixty families with coal. The ass0-
citation has no coal on hand. but it is
buying coal for emergency cases.
The Santa Fe last evening donated
another carload of coal, but it IS on the
track at Scranton where it is blockaded
by the storm. When the association has
coal on hand it gives each family half
a t0n bur today ia having to buy the coal
from local dealers the donation is only
500 pounds in each case
The society is spending its money for
coal, shoes and provisions and the money
raised by the charity ball which was
about all that has been in the treasury
for the past week is being rapidly used.
The vast amount Of proverty ia the
city is shown by the statement of Mr..
Smith, who said this afternoon THAT the
society had cared for between $40 and
800 different cases already this winter.

which is situated opposite the ST
Lazare railroad station.
The place was full Of people at the
time. the band was playing and those
present were enjoying the content
ment which follows the consumption
Of good dinner. All this was
changed in a second.
A man who had dined in the cafe
was seen to raise his arm and throw
something in the middle of the room
a terrific explosion followed The
occupants of the room were paralyzed
with terror.
No one dared To move for some
moments, fearing repetition Of the
explosion, but as none came their
courage returned Then they in
vestigated into the damage done and
found that the explosion had done
dreadful work. The cafe was filed
with smoke, and lying on the floor
were q number Of persons wounded,
moaning and bleeding
The bomb had landed upon q table
around which party had been
sitting, and this article had been re-
duced TO splinbers. The persons
grouped at this table suffered the
most. The injured mum ber fifteen
Nearly all OF them were wounded ia

thrown the bomb he ran out Of the
place and darted away The alarm
was given by persons outside who had
heard the noise of the explosion. and

Breton told the doctor who dressed

DID III 40 A1ENGE VALIANT
Breton CIorfes ia His Notoriety says
he Is An Anarchist-

PARIS. Feb. 13.-Leon Breton, the am
archist waiter who threw a bomb into
cafe situated beneath the Hotel Ter
minus opposite the St Lazare railroad
station, behaves with the most cynical
el9rontery. When asked IL he had ever
before appeared in a police court. the
prisoner sneeringly remarked "lt is not
my custom to frequent such places
In answer to further questions lie said
that he had fired his revolver at the
police because, in chasing him after he
had thrown the bomb, they drew their
swords against him.
The prisoner was here interrupted by
one Of the policemen who exclaimed.
81 on fired at us when we were the per-
sons protecting You from being torn to
pieces by the people"
To this Breton replied. "Ihat proves
that the people are q wretched lot. In
any case, whether i die now or two
months later, does not matter Il straw to
me- The prisoner then resumed a coarse.
chatting tone and seemed TO glory in the
notoriety which he had earned by his
desperate conduct OF last night.
IT is now estimated that twenty or more
people we're injured and that five people
were wounded by the revolver shots
which he fired while being pursued by
or struggling with the police. The cafe
was filed with people and band was
playing when Breton suddenly arose from
one of the tables on the outside
and threw a bomb at the electric chande-
ler, which it shattered, destroyed a mar
bic top table, overturned others, smashed
the plate glass windows, glassware and
everything within its sphere, and wound
ed about twenty people
After throwing the bomb, Breton ran
away. but was chased 10y a policeman
who attempted to arrest him. A strug-
gle followed, Breton fired his revolver
right and left, other policemen were at
tracted to the spot and the anarchist was
arrested and conveyed to the nearest po-
lice station, the crowd in the meanwhile
cIamoring for his death by lynching.
The bomb is said TO have been in the
form Of a sardine box and to have been
filed with nails, pieces of horse shoes
and scraps of copper.
When questioned in regard to his
crime, Breton said among other things.
