It's Imperfect Construction Doubtless
Saved the French Presidents Life.
Paris Aug. 19. - The departure of
President Faure on his visit to the czar
at St Petersburg yesterday was mark
ed by a scene of the greatest excite
ment accompanied by the circulation
of the widest kind of rumors. After
his departure. a bomb exploded along
the route tlS president had followed,
and although no damage was done,
and in spite of the fact that nobody
was hurt the most intense excitement
prevailed for a long time afterwards
end the sensational reports had it that
those who exploded the bomb had in
tended an outrage of a more serious
nature The president received an ova-
ton from the public when he started
on his journey.
NJ. Girard, director of the municipal
laboratory, regards the explosion as a
serious attempt by militant anarchist.
The bomb, he says, was properly con-
structed, uG would have caused great
dam but that the tube was crack
ed This defect, too, prevented the ex-
plosion of the bomb at the time in
tended by the miscreant who placed it.
A man named Perior was subsequent
ly arrested on the train on which Presi-
dent Faure arrived from Havre. The
prisoner was found to have a loaded
revolver in his pocket and is known
to be dangerous anarchist, who has
already served a term of two years inn
prisonment for having in his posses
sion an Internal machine.

THE cruel murder of Librarian
Wilson, in Philadelphia, remains as
much a mystery as ever, notwith-
standing the almost unprecedented
detective efforts that have and are
still being made to discover the per
petrators. All sorts of theories as to
the motives that instigated the deed
are prevalent. Whatever they may
have been, the atrocity of the deed
will stand forever. Two rewards Of
81 900 each have been offered for the
arrest and conviction of the murder
ers. These inducements to further
any more Wig orous detective effort
may bring about the capture of the
guilty parties, but at present there is
practically no clue to them, at least
none to which publicity has been
given,
