SlOn-ThS Second DemOnSUrSulOh
Within a Few Days.
Paris, September 5.-De Rothschilds
banking house in this city was the
scene to-day of another Nihilist at
tempt. At 800 o'clock man entered
the bank from the Rue La Fittei. In
the vestibule a detective who was on
guard there saw a stranger trying to
light the fuse of a bomb which he car
ried, with a cigarette. The ashes on the
cigarette prevented the ready ignition
of the fuse. and the man seeing that he
was observed, threw the bomb upon the
carpeted floor. The weapon did not
explode. and the man was arrested.
When he was taken to the police Office
he boldly avowed himself an anarchist.
According to another account, when
the man with the bomb was arrested,
he was ascending the first stair case,
leading to the banking Office and had
lighted a match. When he saw that he
had been detected, he threw the bomb
to the ground and ran out into the
street, being pursued by the bank de-
tective. When overtaken, the desper-
ate man turned suddenly and confront
ed his pursuer with a razor The Off
GER warded off blow which was aimed
at him and seized the man by the wrist.
a crowd assembled, attracted by the.
struggle and another policeman coming
up the two officers succeeded in over
powering the would-be murderer.
At the police Office the man was ex-
amlned by Inspector Carnatte, acting
in the absence of Commissary Guerin.
He obstinately refused to talk and was
taken to the Central prison. There he
became more communicative and open
ly professed anarchistic theories, de-
claring that he intended the bomb as
an anarchistic demonstration. The re-
cent explosive letter received at Dc
Rothchild's bank, and which cost Baron
AlphOse De ROthschild's confidential
clerk an eye, the man said was only
hoax, tO-day's attempt being expected
to have a salutary effect. The man told
COmmissary Girsrd that he made the
bomb himself He expressed regret
that he had not taken enough precau-
tions to ensure an explosion. He had
tried to light the fuse with a cigarette,
but the ashes upon the latter interfer-
ed. The arrival of the detective had
compelled him to throw the bomb hast
lily, and by that act he had not expected
to explode it. He said that the bomb
contained chloride Of potassium.
However" he added. you are cum
ming Open and satisfy yourself on
that point"
He spoke clearly and in a decided
tone. He will be examined in detail
tomorrow.
The man was arrested by police
man named Roger. The bomb has been
taken to the Municipal Laboratory to
be examined.
Commissary Girard and Prefe& Lepine
are investigating the case.
Police officials believe, from the ap.
pearance Of the culprit. that he is a
brother Of Pawels, who perpetrated the
Madeline outrage. He is about 80 years
of age. of medium height, beetle-brow-
ed, wears a short moustache, has sui
len stare, and is very pale. He has a
way of frequently clinching his fists.
When taken to the prefecture, he re-
fused to give his name or occupation.
He was dressed i'm dark clothes and
wore a shirt with red stripes. The
bomb was made of a half-pOund con-
cOctiOn, tied with a string and wound
about with wire. A round hole a quar-
ter of an inch in size was found in the
side of the box, and from this fell
whitish powder.
The cuprit was miserably dressed,
and a razor and brush were found on
him. so it is supposed he is a barber'g
assistant. He refused to give any pre-
text for the attempted outrage His
family lived q long time at Mont Mar
tire, where active inquiries are proceed
ing.
Upon being further examined, he
said that the bomb was composed Of
Of potassium and blasting pow
der, and contained no projectile; his
act, he said, was protest against the
proceedings OF the bankers. He had
Travelled throughout France, never re-
naming long in the same place, in or
der not to awaken suspicion. He pro-
fesses a contempt for work. since every
one lives at the expense of society.
The news Of the outrage spread rapid
" in Paris, and many fear that it pOr'
tends a renewal OF an active anarchist
campaign.
