From Paris the news comes that the restaurant kept by M. Very, who was the chief witness against Ravachol, the Anarchist leader, has been wrecked by dynamite. The place was the scene of Eavachol's arrest, hence the outrage. Very was found amid the ruins of the building with his legs smashed. He was taken to the hospital, where his limbs were found to ba so mangled

that ihey had to be airiputated; Four other inmates of the restaurant, including Very's •twelve-year-bid grand-daughter, were alse severely injured; and were removed to tne Hospital: , The bomb was placed in the cellar of the building. Many people who happen ad to be passing the restaurant at the time the explosion occurred were injured by falling debris. Three arrests have already been made in connection with the outrage. The terrible affair had such an effect on Very's wife that she lias completely lost her rerson. T roops are guarding the streets in the city, as it is feared the Anarchists may attempt similar outrages in other quarters, It is understood that the explosion was intended to overawe the jury in the trial of Ravachol's four occoin» plices. The police authorities have taken extra precautions to preserve order during the trial.
