Nine. Calabresi, who was wounded by
the bomb explosion at 90 Rue St.
Jacques yesterday, died tonight
Police Comm;ssary Dresch, who ar
rested Ravachol, and has been perse-
cuted ever since by the anarchists, is
tired Of his Office, and has asked to be
transferred to country district. The
revelation of a plot to kill him yesterday,
has convinced him that he is too carefuIlv
watched to be of service in hunting an
archists.
AN INTERNAL MACHINE IN A THEATER.
A tin box supposed to contain an in-
fernal machine was found in the corridor
OF the Comedie Francaise this evening.
IT was sent to the municipal laboratory
for examination
Several glass and iron tubes that
looked like bombs were found in corridors
OF private houses, or near small city
buildings to-day Most of them had been
placed by practical jolSers and were found
to contain only harmless powders. Two
OF them have not yet been examined.
THE CITY PANIC STRICKEN.
Paris is panic stricken. Everybody
carrying u parcel is suspected and
watched by the police. Metal boxes are
regarded rs evidence OF an evil intention.
Count Laveaux was arrested this evening
as a suspicious character because he was
carrying tin box under his arm and de-
clined to open it at the command Of po-
liceman. When opened, the box was
found to contain paints
RGBARDY NOT AN ANARCHIST.
A man declaring his name to be Etienne
Ribardy called at the main police office In
Rouen to-day. He said that he was not
and never had been an anarchist, and
that the person who set the time
bombs in Paris yesterday has as
sumed the name. Several months
ago, the man said, he lost his wallet
which contained his civil papers and elec-
toral ticket. The anarchist who set the
bombs, he thinks found the wallet and
used the papers to screen his identity.
The Rouen police are inclined to accept
this story

GROWS BIG VICTORY.
His Plurality May GO as High as
10000.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 21.-Complete
returns from thres-fourths of the sixty
seven counties in the state, and close esti.
mates of the remaining counties, show a
plurality of 1859, ,594 for Grow, rep, for
congressman at large. This is the largest
plurality ever given by the state for any
candidate, and may be increased to 49,
600 The republicans made almost
clean sweep of the counties, only eleven
of the sixty-seven counties giving a
plurality for Hancock, dem.
In 1892 tNenty-eight counties gave plu-
raltles for the democratic candidate for
congressman at large. Among the coun-
ties which flop over to the republican
column is Licoming, which had never
given a republican majority on q state
ticket. The anthracite coal counties
Schuylkiu and Luzerne-are among those
that topped.
REDUCED PLURALITIEs ELSEWHERE.
Those that remain in the democratic
column all show greatly reduced plurali-
ties. Berks county, whose majority usu-
ally ranges from $500 to 10000, gives
Hancock only 2,340 plurality, and York
county. which could always be relied
upon for a majority of 5000 to 1000 for
the democratic candidates, gives Hancock
a plurality of less than 800.
The eleven counties which give plurali-
ties for Hancock are Berks, Clarion, Co
lumbia, Cumberland. Lehigh, Monroe,
Montour, Northampton, Pike, Sullivan
and York
Philadelphia county gives Grow plu-
rality of IS, $40, and Allegheny county. in
which Pittsburg is located, looms up with
nearly $4,000. Every county in the state
shows republican gains as compared with
the vote of 1892, with the single exception
of the strong republican county of Ian
caster, which gives Grow 9 1922 plurality,
33S less than was given for Gen. Lilly
in 1900

cident. A short distance from the mouth
of the ancient mine is found the ruins of
the old sInelter, which had been used TO
reduce the rich ores of the mine.
