A Ohbristmas Main That Was Largely At- tended. |Many Battles Fought —Sports Win | | Money and Are Jubilant—Exciting j Scene in an Old Barn. From the Baltimore Herald. Once again the game-cock fanciers of Bal- timore have demonstrated that their birds are invincible. In the great Christmas “main” between Baltimore and Washington fought in the Canton pit yesterday the local sports were victoricus—15 battles out of 24 falling to home talent. Everyone, even the vanquish- ed Washington sports, admitted that the main was one of the squarest they ever at- tended. The heelers did their work with efficiency and dispatch. There was no bungling, no unnecessary delay. The police were successfully kept in the dark, and consequently there was no interruption. Everything worked as if by magic. The Washingtonians went home satisfied, but crestfallen and disgruntled at the outcome of a contest the squareness of which they could not impugn. An unprecedented attendance was one of the remarkable features of the day's sport. Those who selected the large barn where the pit was located never counted on such an enormous attendance. | “No more can be admitted, tickets or no | tickets,” was the stern declaration of the man at the turnstile last night. The spa- cious barn was then packed to its utmost capacity. Small sports and hope?:t youths | sat on the knees of their more portly friends among the audience. Every available space was occupied, and that accounted for the de- cision of the man at the turnstile. The Visitors Arrive. The Washingtonians arrived on the scene of action early m the forenoon. The whole |party alighted from a train which pulied |into Camden station about 10 o'clock a.m. Those who didn't know the way to proceed to the “happy hunting ground” at Canton | took hacks, but the majority being old- | timers, who knew the haunts, proceeded to |the headquarters of some of the local sports and went to Canton by the street | cars later on, accompanied by some of those who were “strictly in the know.” As early | as 7 o'clock the crowd began to congregate. | Some of the boys “wet their whistles” at a neighboring saloon and moved back to the | Mecca of the cock fighters. But they didn't |go there all together. Before they arrived | within a block of the alley on which the | rear door of the barn opens they scattered |and dropped in by different routes. Who were they? The question could not weil be answered in a short space of time. Genuine sports every one of them. Drawn from var- ious walks of life, they rarely meet except at a main. A man who attracted much attention and seemed to be a walking encyclopaedia on | the breeding of birds was the man from Washington who “managed” the birds from ret a.

The Canton police kept a sharp lookout for the cock-fighters from early morning, and the cock-fighters watched the Canton police. It was resolved to send a crowd up to a saloon on the Sheli road for the pur- pose of decoying the “cops.” The scheme worked like a charm—all the attention of the peace guardians was attracted to the | Shell road saloon, and the “Meca” was left without surveillance.

The windows of the place were boarded up, making it impossi- ble for any one to see in. A heavy cloud of smoke from holiday cizars hung over the pit when the heclers threw the first con- testants on the floor. There was a short controversy at the start and a few hot words exchanged over the spurring of the birds. Somebody said the Washington heel- er was “ygaffing’ one of the birds badly. it all blew over in a few minutes.

Interesting Details of the Bomb Ex- plosion in the French Chamber of Deputies. The latest Paris newspapers at hand are filled with accounts of the bomb throwing which occurred in the chamber of deputieson Saturday, December 9. To the details: a! ready transmitted by the cable, however, a few interesting particulars can be ad- ded from a transiation in the New York Tribune. The explosion occurred at 4:09 p.m. M. Mirman, a socialist professor ¢f mathe- matics, whose election was disruted, had just descended from the tribune, where he had spoken in favor of his vaiidation. M. Dupy, the speaker, was jus: saying: “i am about to call for a vote upon the con- clusions of the sixth electoral committee, when, before he had finished his sentence, a detonation was heard. Abbott Lemire, a deputy, rolled from his bench, and frightened cries were heard from every part of the house, which wa: filled with smoke. It is certain that if the bomb had reached the floor many deputies would have been killed, but the arm of the anarchist was jostled by a woman sitting near him in the public gallery, and the bomb exploded on touching the railing of that gallery. This explains how most of the wounded were not found in the ranks of the gaileries, or public tribunes, as they are called in France. The cable dispatches have correctly re- ported the dignified attitudes maintained by the French deputies in that awful moment of suspense. ‘he sitting continued without excitement; speeches were made, and the house adjourned only after having finished its regular work. Meanwhile forty-seven wourmted persons had been transported in the ambulance to a hospital provisionally established in the “buvette,” or refresh- ment room of the chamber, and many otner persons not seriously injured went to their homes as soon as the gates of the building were opened again. The gates had been closed immediately after the bomb throwing, a deputy, M. Argelies, having gone at once to the sent- inel, and, showing him his card as a mem- ber of the house, told the soldier: “Close the gates, and do not let anybody go out, even if he should tell you he is a deputy.” The chamber was guarded that day by a company of marine infantry, and these soldiers hed to cross their oayonets to pre- vent the crowd of frigtened spectators from the galleries from breaking open the gates. It is thanks to that measure that the murderous anarchist found himself in the clutches of the police, who did not suppose at first that they held the author of the ex- } that his name was quietly published in the Paris papers of Monday, two days after the outrage, in the list of the forty-seven ser- jously wounded. He is mentioned as follows: M. Vaillant, Auguste, 17 Rue de la Raffineries, Choisy- wounded in the nose and the right leg.” He had entered in that part of the public galleries where no cards of admit- tance are necessary, and nobody had no- ticed him. His neighbors in the gallery were so far from thinking that a bomb had been thrown that une of them, M. Mourter, @ restaurant keeper, declared afterward: “The first sensation I felt was that of a light passing in front of the tribune (the pit* where orators of the French cham- © bave to go to deliver their speeches). A pretty strong detonation followed. As 1 was completely ignorant of parliamentary usages, I thought at first that an official re- volver-shot had been fired to announce the end of the speech of M. Mierman, who was then descending from the tribune.” A woman, who was wounded in the leg, had @ somewhat similar impression. She thought, on seeing the light, that it was the custom in the chamber to burn “chan- deiie romaine,” or small firecrackers, in honor of orators who are eloquent. It was involuntarily that the woman sitting beside Vaillant happened to touch his arm, thus causing the bomb to strike on the border of the gallery, instead of on the floor of the chamber. As to Vaillant, he was one of the first to try to flee from the chamber and find an exit through the gates guarded by the marine infantry. He was hatless, bleeding and in a fury of passion; he smashed with his cane a window panel of a oa. and a soldier leveled his bayonet at im. aillant went then to the refreshment room, where he hed his wounds bandaged by Dr. Merion, deputy of the Yonne. Vail- lant was roaming around in several pacts of the building when he was noticed by a stenographer of the chamber, M. Paulido, who called the attention of M. Clement, commissary of police, to the demeanor of Vaillan | The aaachist said that he was a M. Mar- chal, living at Choisy-le-Roi, and that he was waiting for the >eopening of the gates in order to go home. The commissary’s suspicions were aroused, and he sent Vail prefecture of police, while detectives were sent to Choisy-le-Roi. They returned, stat- | ing that the so-calied Ma-chal was really the | well-known anarchist, Vaillant. The latter | was transferred the same night, at 2 a. m., to the Hospital—called hot Dieu, where a few hours later he voluntarily avowed his | crime to the pzocureur of the republique. | Vaillant was born at Mezieres, depart- ment of Ardennes, on December 20, 1861}.

He is of high stature, and wears a dark beard. His) | forehead is wide: his eyes are large, round and expressive; the ears are large and flap- ping. He had been a socialist revolutionist until March, I8S6; after that date he be- came an avowed anarchist. iam Cheap W | Prom Marper's Bazar, | There is a class of people not otherwise | objectionable to whom one feels continual- ly inclined to recommend the study of the English language.
