(" STANDARD " TELEGRAM.] PARML Sunday Night. A telegram just received from Douai announces a serious event, which took place this morning at Aniche. A grand dinner, at which a thousand miners were to participate, was to have been given to-day, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the entrance of M. Vuillemin as Director of the Aniche Mines. He and the high officials at the mine had attended Mass at Auberchicourt, and was just leaving the church when a man approached and fired five shots at him with a revolver. Fortunately, M. Vuillemin's wounds are not regarded as very serious. One bullet struck him in the cheek, another in the back, not, however, pentrating deep, and a third wounded him slightly in the hand.  The perpetrato-r Of this outrage is a miner named Clement Decoux, 26 years of age. He was dismissed from the service of the Aniche Colliery Company after the strike in 1893. In addition to the revolver he also carried a bomb concealed beneath his jacket. This destructive machine exploded sooner than he expected, and Decoux, whose body was horribly mutilated, was blown to a distance elf two metres from the place at which he had stood. At the same time several persons were slightly wounded by pieces of the bomb. The windows of a neighbouring wine shop were shattered by the explosion. Decoux's father, who happened to be present, rushed upon his son, and in a fit of indignation kicked him, calling him wretch and assassin. Decoux was carried to the town hall of Auberchieourt, where he died almost immediately. M Vuillemin was conveyed to his house in a carriage.
