THE WORLD TO BE MADE OVER
WiId Statements of Chicago Anarchist
when He Hears the News.

CHICAGO, June 25.-Oscar Neebe, who
spent seven years of his life in Joliet
after conviction of participation in the
Haymarket riot, said the assassination
of President Carnot was a cowardly and
unnecessary act, and one that would in
jure the cause of progress-
sCarnot has been a very inoffensive
man." said he, sand the assassination is
taking the life of an innocent man, who
Is a mere figurehead in the government
No intelligent anarchist would do such
thing. It must be the work of fanatic"
Thomas Greif, well known in Chicago
as a leader in the international movement
thought the assassination only another
link in the chain Of of evidence of the
great social crisis in the civilized world
President Carnot's death" said he, lis
only one of the signs that point to the
revolution that this world must pass
through All Europe has volcano I'M
der it, and it ia only question of time
until the greatest revolution the world
ever saw will break out Carnot's death
may be the starting point. This incident
may be followed by scenes compared
with which those of the commune were
tame. If this proves to be the case, then all
Europe will follow in Frances footsteps.
This country is also ripe for such move
ment, and it would not be surprising if,
in the next thirty days, the world, as far
a. governments are concerned, should be
made over again.
When asked If there was any unity of
action between the anarchists of France
and this country, Greif declared there
was not Neither did he believe that in
any of the inner circles of American an
srchists there had been any intmatiOn of
any special activity at present in France.

DEMONIAC HATE
IConcIuded from First Page.l

suit OF the assassination OF Carnot Is al
most beyond description. On the boule-
wards scenes of the greatest excitement
have been Witnessed today. The police
had the greatest din1culty In olspersing
the crowds of wildly angry people who
assembled at different points discussing
the tragedy, cursing the assassin and
calling for vengeance against the muir
derer aud his supposed accompilces-
The fact that the assassin IL an
Italian has given rise to the
most dangerously bitter feeling against
Italy and Italians, and several Italian
Tags displayed out of sympathy with
Frances loss and draped with crepe,
were hooted at and in at least one in
stance. pulled down and torn into shreds-
In every quarter of the place fierce
demonstrations against the Italian resi-
dents have taken place, and as result
nearly all the Italian cafes and restaur-
ants have been closed
But if the feeling against Italians is
strong the sentiment of hatred with
which the majority of the people regard
anarchists is still stronger, and Is grow
Ing hourly in intensity. SantO the MUIR
derer, has boldly asserted that he is an
anarchist, and, therefore, upon the anar-
chists are the people pouring their
wrath. Further than asserting that he Is
an anarch hist, the prisoner has not appar-
emily made any statement, but it Is re-
ported that the police are convinced that
the assassination OF President Carnot is
the result of plan in which some others
are concerned
This however, is only report, as the
authorities are engaged in a most ex-
haustive investigation into the prisoners
past career and recent movements, aud
no official statement on the subject is
likely to be made until this inquiry ID
completed.
The weapon used by the murderer was
a long, triangular blade of the stiletto
pattern q pom the blade are engraved
the words, Record of Toledo" The
sheath Of the weapon is Of velvet, with
red and black stripes. President Carnot's
last words were: "Thank you, my
friends; thank you"
Regarding the political situation il is
believed that ex- Casimir- Perier, now
president of the chamber of deputies
has the beet chance of succeeding the
late president, but the names of NJ.
Challemel-Lasour president of the SEN
ate Cavaignac, Dupuy, Brisson. Constans
and General Saussier are also probably
strong candidates.

stream. There are no more indications of
gas back upon the bluff than there on the
summit of Wantastiquet.
Mr.. Morse, from the time he first
found that the gas would burn, had no
faith that the deposit was anything but
marsh gas, due to the decay of vegetable
matter. This gas is very often formed
where leaves, sawdust, or other vegetable
matter decay without free access to air. 1t
is said that there are only two or three
places in the United States where marsh
gas is found in sufficient quantities to be
used for heating or fuel.
The gas in the Connecticut rises to the
surface in an eddy. 1t is argued, and
probably correctly, that sticks, sawdust,
and other vegetable matter have been de-
posted here for ages, and the quantity is
sufficient, in decomposition, to form the
gas which rises to the surface. When one
cartridge was exploded mass of sawdust
rose to the surface.
Further investigations were made Tues
day afternoon by DIR. George F. Gale, E.
G. Crosby, Sewall Morse and Fred l..
Howe Gas was repeatedly lighted in holes
driven down through the sand into the
water. Cartridges were exploded on the
bottom of the stream, bringing up large
quantities of gas. The flame extended
over a space ten feet or more in length, but
did not blaze "ten feet into the air." The
flames ran up about a foot, and dis
appeared in four or five seconds. After
trying the experiments in several places
where the gas was first discovered a car
fridge was exploded out in the current of
the river, but it brought no gas to the sur
face. At point near rock about quar-
ter of a mile below where Mr.. Crosby and
Mr.. Morse lighted the gas last week large
quantities of the elastic fluid were also
stirred up and lighted DR.. Gale was
greatly surprised at the quantity, but
thought it only what is known as marsh
gas.
A bottleful of the gas was brought to the
village, where it was analysed by Druggist
H. A. Chaplin, who is an expert chemist.
This gas was found to be purely methane,
or marsh gas. The natural gas which is
used so extensively for lighting and to de-
velop power in Pennsylvania, West Vir-
ginia, Indiana and other states. is largely
methane, but contains also other proper
ties, so that it is readily distinguished in
analysis from marsh gas. None of these
properties were found in the sample ana
| lyzed by Mr.. Chaplin. 1t is probable that If a
man made an extended search up and
down the river, between BrattlebOro and
Bellows Falls, for instance, he would find
the gas bubbles rising to the surface in q
places, usually in eddies, or where tree:
overhang the banks, and that explosive:
would stir up gas that could be lighted. A
Brattleboro man, who formerly lived in
Ludlow, says that gas which can be lighted
is found in pond in that town.
Brattleboro's gas discovery led many
people out for walk last Sunday, and ha
since taken the place of the weather, thu
crops, and the New York election as a topi,
of conversation. 1t is also interesting as
phenomenon. That is all.

A Narrow Escape.

Edgar Tuthill, with four horses and
large load of logs, was coming to the viii
lage last Friday afternoon and drove ON tn
what is called "the crooked bridge" a little
way above the house of Sylvester Charter
The leaders had crossed, when the br,dgo
80 feet long, gave way, preciptatinp the
driver, horses and load down IL or ID feet
INTO the stream six or seven feet deem
Mr.. Tuthill was thrown some distance
while the truck turned once and a half
over and went into the water. AS soon as
he could recover himself he found one
wheel horse completely under water and
had to work hard to keep it from drowning.
One OF the leaders, after struggling, got on
to his feet, but the other one had fallen
backwards on to a rock and was badly
hurt, and though Mr.. Tuthill succeeded in
getting him up, it is doubtful if he will re-
cover enough to work again. Mr.. Tuthill.
as may be inferred, was considerably
bruised, but thinks his escape from death
wonderful.
