BOMBS IN PARIS.
Life Being Made Miserable For
the French People.
ONE EXPLODED AND ONE DIDN'T.

Several People Injured when the First
Let Go-Both Were in Small Tenement
Like Hotels Where n FuII-FIedged An
archist Would Not BE Expected to Get
in HIS werk-A Third One Found.
PMS, Feb. 2O.-The city of Paris has
been startled by another bomb explosion
and. following closely upon the outrage
at the Hotel Terminus, this new evidence
of anarchist activity causes considerable
excitement. The details of the affair, as
reported by the police, are as follows:
a man of suspicious appearance re-
Gently hired furnished room in small
tenement, or hotel of a modest descrip-
ton, situated at 50 Rue ST. Jacques
So far as can be ascertained the sus-
picious looking tenant disappeared on or
about Monday and, as he did not return
Monday night. the wife of the proprietor
of the hotel, Mime. Calabresi, knocked at
the door and finally threatened to break
down the door unless it was opened.
Mime. Calabresi, however, delayed
carrying out her intention to enter
the apartment until early Tuesday
morning, when she again tried to open
the door, this time EMPLOYING force
While engaged in this task the land ady
became aware that something ha eau sht
IN the top OF the door and, upon closer
examination, she found that it WIS, to
all appearances, bomb or an internal
machine.
Mime. Calabresi ran away from the
door in alarm and called her husband
who, after making an inspection of the
supposed bomb, called policeman, who
promptly but unwisely put his shoulder
to the door and burst it open. This
caused the bomb, shaped like sardine
box of the largest size, to fall to the
floor, where it exploded, infiicting terri
BILE injuries upon Mime. Calabresi. who
was wounded in the abdomen, slightly
wounding her husband, fracturing the
leg of NJ. 1smael, a commission agent,
who had been attracted to the scene
after the arrival of the policeman, and
also wounding his wife who accom-
panied him.
So soon as the policeman recovered
from the shock which he had sustained
by the explosion, he sent for assistance
and Mime. Calabresi, her husband, NJ.
and Nine. Ismael and others who were
slightly wounded. were taken to the
Hotel Dieu, the famous hospital of Paris.
Later 1t was learned that an uncle of
Mime. Calabresi was wounded severely
by bullet from the bomb, which passed
almost through his body.
The police, as usual, are maintaining
secrecy. The building is in the hands of
the police, who are making thorough
investigation. According to one theory,
the bomb was placed where it was found
by an anarchist lodger who had per-
sonal grudge against NJ. and Mime. Cal
abresi, and who was aware that they
would force open his door SO soon as they
became convinced that he had disap-
peared or that something was wrong in
side the apartment.
The explosion caused great damage in
the tenement, blowing out the windows,
crashing down the partitions and doing
other injury of similar nature.
Another Bomb Found.
Tuesday afternoon there was renewal
of the excitement, caused by the finding
of another bomb. This time there was
no explosion.
The second bomb was found in Hotel
de ,L'Esperance, on the Rue du Fau-
bourg, st. Martin. 1t was found at II 80
a. IN. and was similar in shape and
make to the one which exploded early
that morning. in the small hotel on the
Rue st. Jacques. The bomb of the Hotel
de I,Esperance was found in manner
similar to that which caused the discov-
cry and the explosion of the first one.
In this last case, however, the bomb did
not explodesand upon being found, the
authorities were sent for and it was safely
taken to the municipal labratory, where
it will be examined.
The police are of the opinion that the
bomb which exploded in the Rue st.
Jacques and the bomb found later in the
Hotel de LEsperance were placed there
by the same person, but it is difficult to
understand the motive of this person, if
the police theory is correct as both these
fo1e Il.
frequented almost entirely by workmen,
and it is not thought likely that the an
archists would attempt to injure this
class of people.
The more reasonable supposition is
that the two bombs left in the two hotels
mentioned were either placed there by
some crank or else they were expert
mental affairs which were being tested
by one or more anarchists.
One on the DUAL D'orsay.
The excitement was added to when it
was learned Tuesday that an attempt
