An Anarchist Almost Succeeds
Blowing Up the Hank.
Paris, Sept. 5. M. Rothschild's
banking house in this city was tho
scene to day of another Nihilistic
attempt. At 3:20 o'clock a man
entered the bank from the lla La
Fitte. In the vestibule a detective
who was on guard there saw the
stranger tryiDg to light the fuse of
a bomb which he carried with a cig
arette. The ashes on the cigarette
prevented tho 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 arrest
ed. When he was taken to the
police office he boldly avowed him
self an Anarchist.
According to another account,
when the man with the bomb was
arrested he was ascending the first
strir case leading to the banking
office, and had lighted a match.
When he saw that he had been de
tected he threw the bomb to the
ground and run out into tho street,
being pursued by the bank detective.
When overtaken, the desperate man
turned suddenly and confronted bis
pursuer with a razor. The officer
warded off a blow which was aimed
at him and seized the man by the
wrist. A crowd assembled, attract
ed by the struggle, and another
policeman coming up the two officers
susceeded in overpowering the
would be murderer.
At the police office the man was
examined by Inspector Carnette,
acting in the absence of Commissary
Guerin. He obstinately refused to
talk and was taken to the central
prison. There he became more com
municative and openly professed
Anarchistic theories, declaring he
intended the bomb as an anarchist
demonstration. The recently explo
sive letter received at De Roths
child's bank, and which cost Baron
Alphonse De Rothschild's confiden
tial clerk an eye, the man said was
only a hoax, to day's attempt being
expected to have a salutary effect.
The man told Commissary Querin
he made the bomb himself. He ex
pressed regret that he had not taken
enough precautions to insure an ex
plosion. He had tried to light the
fuse with a cigarette, but the ashes
upon the latter interfered. The ar
rival of the detective had compelled
him to throw the bomb hastily, and
by that act he had not expected to
explode it. He said the bomb con
tained chloride of potassium. "How
ever, lie added, "you are cunning;
open it and satisfy yourself on that
point.'
When taken to the prefecture he
refused to give hi3 name or occupa
tion. lie was dressed in dark
clothes and wore a shirt with red
stripes. The bomb was made of a
half pound of cocoa tin, tied with a
string and wound about with wire.
A round hole, a quarter of an inch
in size, was in the side of the box
and from this fell a whitish powder
The culprit was miserably dressed
and a razor and bruBh were found
upon him, so it is supposed he is a
barber's assistant. He refused to
give any pretext for the attempted
outrage. His family lived a long
time at Moutmarte, where active in
quiries are proceeding.
Upon being further examined he
said the bomb was composed of
chloride of potassium and blasting
powder and contained no projectile.
His act, he Baid, was a protest
against the proceedings of tne bank
ers. He had traveled throughout
France, never remaining long in the
game place, in order not to awaken
suspicion. He professed a contempt
for work since every one lives at
the expense of society. The news
of the outrage spread rapidly in
Paris, and many fear that it por
tends a renewal of an active Anar
chistic campaign.

83,000,000. He owned land in every
state in the Union except one,
though the most of his real tstate
was in Fremont county, where he
had Kj.OOO acres. When Dvis died
he was called to his home in Missis
sippi to preach his funeral sermon.
Payne's will,just filed for probi'.e,
shows his money bequesU to be
$228,000, aside from his real estate.
Besides making liberal provision for
his widow, children, relatives and
servants, he bequeathed to Charles

Mrs. Massie'a Exploit.
Our former Rich Hill friend, R
C. Massie, has furnished the Kansas
City Journal with the following fur
ther particulars of his wife's expert
ence with a Chicago highwayman,
an account of which the Review con
tained yesterday:
"The occurrence," says Mr. Mas
sie. was in the middle of the after
noon and on one of the leading
residence streets. The man followed
Mrs. Massie several blocks and at a
moment when there were no other
pedestrians near, overtook her and
attempted to snatch her purse. She
returned with a blow of her umbrella.
The thief then grabbed her hand
and attempted to take the diamonds
from her ears. She released herself
from his grasp and took refuge in
the doorway of an adjacent residence,
and the would-robber took to his
heels. Mrs. Massie suffered a sprain
of the wrist, but otherwise was not
injured. She hae been in Chicago a
week looking after the sale of sever
al songs of her own composition,
which have recently attracted con
siderable attention.
"Mr. Massie says he sent Mrs
Massie a postoffice order a few days
ago, and he thinks the thief saw her
cash the order and followed her un
til he saw an opportunity to take
her purse.
Now, if Mrs. Massie had only cap
tured that robber, then worked all
tne incidents 01 tne allair into a
sons set to "catchy" music, she
would have been a real heroine as
well as a great composer very
shortly thereafter. Nothing suc
ceeds like success, you know.
Ladies, however, should select tame
burglars to practice on. Mrs. Mas
sie exhibited rare pluck in "holding
her own" as she did. Review.

iSpl.1 Advices have reached here of
the almost complete destruction of
the town of Iioderiguez and Abastos,
situated south of here in the valley
of the Sallido River.
Both places were wiped out of
existence by a cloudburst, which oc
curred in the San Bias mountains,
back of the towns. The water
rushed down the valley, iu a tremen
dous torrent, sweeping everything
before it. It covered the ground
to a depth of six feet and the flood
was from six to nice miles wide.
The business houses and resi
dences of the two towns were built
of adobe and thev melted awav be
fore the torrent of water like so
much sand.
The town of Abastos had a popu
lation of 1,500 people- The inhabi
tants saw the torrent coming down
the valley in time to make their es
cape to the adjoining hills.
So far as known there were no
lives lost in that place, although not has now prepared an

Baltimore, Md.. Sept. 5 The
Manufacturer's Record says that the
announcement of new cotton mills
projected in the South during the

There were reported seventy-seven

of over 300,000 6pindles, wtiich, ad
ded to the 500,000 spindles to be
put in mills that had been reported
before May 31, makes a total of
about 800,000 spindles to be added
to the number now in operation in
the South. If these mills are all
built, as indications show, the
aggregate investment will be some
thing over $15,000,000. With the
conitinunatioQ of high prices for cot

has been produced and these active
