Some evidence that a suicide club

conceive how anybody who would be-

purpose.

servatory was recently choked by a

good it accomplished is not plain to
eee.

From accounts that come by tho

In France at this tnomont the em-

Napoleon, writing about Napoloon,
holding up Napoleon and Napole >nio

that country. Plays on Napole n s
career, on episodes of Napoleon's
life, on periods and personages of
the lirst empire are e uning out one

the Mormon prophet, Brigham Young,
burst open the door of the theater bo*

I After trying to lock the door, tlie

: crying: "I'll teach you to go to New
i York and talk about the Danites."
With a torrent of oaths the madman
ressed upon Connor while the

'•reamed.
At this moment the property man,
I Antone Mazzanovich, a match in

This first dynamite explosion will j

Since 1791, when you converted Paris i
into a charnel house and massacred j
35,000 proletariats, the republic has
been turned into a den of thieves, di-
ted successively, by tho scoundrel,
Thiers, thtj, brute, MacMahon, tho
thief, Urevy, and the the manikin,
Carnot, while the poor hounds below
were condemned to white slavery or
to die of starvation in tho streets.
Do you think such a state of things
can endure? No, revolution will de-
vour you; we whom you outlawed will
come to the rescue of the starving and
duped | oor who cannot wait patiently
like the labor deputies, so called, be-
cause they had no work. These
idiotic und renegade deputies declared
jVitlv that you would have them
shot like rats, but they decline to bo
blown up with you. Don't hold the
miserable socialist responsible for the
lynaiuite; they only want to enrich
themselves like you.
After further denouncement of the
Socialists, the manifesto proceeds to
describe the bourgeois class, saying:
We warn those who are demanding
the death penalty of VaiHant, who
followed the Knife of Lauthier,
ith a bomb thrown in the midst of !
your robbers' cave, look out for your
skins. That was merely a foretaste.
You inwardly prefer surrender to be-
ing blown into shreds and into tho
air. All. evn the most despotic
regimes, have « ruled by yielding to the
revolt of slavery when too late: like
Louis XVI. and Charles X., who lost
their heads, and Louis Philllppe, who
was beheaded, you. the kings of the
republic, will have to yield, when
there is nothing to save you, certainly
the Socialist files shal not succeed
you. Vive la revolutiomsociale! Vivo

AVENGING "RED" PALLAS.
a
Anurcliint Cedliia Toll* tho story of tho
Campot« ami Theater Exploit lorn*.
Baucki.o.na, Dec. 36.—Jose Cedina,
the anarchist who has already con-
fessed that he threw the bomb that
caused upwards of thirty deaths in
the Liceo theater, has made a further
confession giving details of the crime.
Cedina savs that he was selected of
an Anarchist group to assassinate
General Martinez Campos in Septem-
ber last In company with two or
three comrades, including Pallas, he
went to view the march past of the
troops, it being then his intention to
assassinate (.Jeneral Campos, who was
the reviewing officer. He took a po-
sition from which it would have been
an easy task to have carried out his
project, but when the troops arrived
his courage failed him. The reason
for this was that he realized that if he
threw a bomb amid the vagt crowd j
that surrounded the general lie would |
have killed and wounded hundreds of !
persons. He had the bomb ready to j
throw but the thought of the!
many innocent persons that would !
suffer restrained him from throw-j
ing it. Pallas, as the time set i
for the assassination drew near, j
urged him to throw the bomb. !
Seeing that he hesitated, Pallas i
angrily snatched the bomb from him
saying: "You're no good." Pallas'
nerves were evidently unstrung by
the wrangle and for a time he
tated to throw the bomb that h
counter as little short of miraculous.
Young's present spell is said to be the
result of financial troubles.

on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
railroad yesterday afternoon at 5:30
o'clock at Kelso station, Ind. Ter.
The bandits pulled the swith north

the engineer, George Lyons
The moment the engine struck the
switch the engineer correctly sua-
picioned that robbers had a hand in

not derail his train, the switch being
a "split" one, he pulled the lever of
the enifine wide open and the train
shot through the siding at a high
rate of speed and in perfect safety.
The robbers seeing that they were
beaten, opened fire on the fast flying
train, wounding William Milne the
fireman, in the mouth.
For some days the railroad company
has b -en in possession of information
to the effect t hat a holdup was an-

Lapohte, Ind., Dec. 20. — Strong
efforts are being made, it is said, to
oust Senator Voorhees and make ex-
Governor Gray his su cessor. The
anti- Voorhees movement contemplates
the capture of the state committee by
the Gray faction and the election as
chairman of an enthusiastic supporter
of the ex-governor.
It is understood that the silver
question \*ill cut quite a figurfe in tho
campaign, and an effort will be made
to array the friends of free coinage
against Voorhees on account of his
course in the senate.

to get a suit for $1 and demanded that
I show them more money. I took -">
out of my pock tbook, which con-
tained 350, and both Mayer and Blum
grabbed for it. They held my hands,
and we fought quite awhile before I
got loose. Then they grabbed me#
again, and 1 shot them. I would have
given myself up before, bitt had bus-
iness to attend to and did not know
how long 1 would have to stay, so I
went on and transacted my business.
When I got through I caino ba it here
to stand trial if .imeessarf
Pilla will be released on his own
bond, and will probably never be
prosecuted.

Corbett-Mitchell Fi^ht.
Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 20.—The
Duval Athletic club received a set-
back yesterday in its efforts to pull
oft' the Corbett-Mitchell fight. I he
attorney for the club appeared before
Governor Mitchell at Tallahassee and
made application for a ^barter, lhis
the governor flatly refused, stating
that under cover of the charter the
club proposed to violate the laws of
Florida *
Of course this proved a surprise to
the sports, and their consternation
was further increased by the knowl-
edge that a strong letter against the
fight has been written by the gov-
ernor to J. R. Tvsen. a prominent *
gentleman of this citv.
The managers of the fight say the
affair will come off despite the gov-
ernor's opposition.
