ANCTHER FOUND, BUT WAS HARMLESS Several Persons Very Badly In- jured. GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS PARIS, Feb. 20.—The city of Paris has | been stared by arcther bomb explosion, | and following closely upon the outrage at |the Hotel ‘Terminus this new evidence of anarchist activity causes considerable ex- citement. A nan of suspicious appearance recently hired a furnished room in a small tenement or hotel of a modest description situated at No.,69 Rue St. Jacques. So far as can be ascertained the suspt- cious-looking tenant disappeared on or about Monday, and as he did not return last night the wife of the proprietor of the hotel, Mme. Calabresi, knocked at the door and finally threatened to break down the door unless it was opened. Mme. Calabresi, however, delayed carry- ing out her intention to enter the apartment until 1:30 this morning, when she again tried to open the door, this time employing force. While engaged in this task the land- lady became aware that something had caught in the top of the door, and upon closer examination she found that it was to all appearances a bomb or an infernal ma- chine. Mme. Calabresi ran away from the door in alarm and called her husband, who, after making an inspection of the supposed bomb, called a policeman, who premptly, but un- wisely, put his shoulder to the door and burst it open. This caused the bomb,shaped like a sardine box of the largest size, to fall to the floor, where it exploded, infiict- ing terrible injuries upon Mme. Calabresi, who was wounded in the abdomen, slightly wounding her husband, fracturing the leg of M. Ismael, a commission agent, who had been attracted to the scene after the ar- rival of the policeman, and also wounding his wife, who accompanied him. So soon as the policeman recovered from the shock which he sustained by the ex- piosion, he sent for assistance, and Mme. Calabresi, her husband, M. and Mme. Is- mael and others who were wounded, were taken to the Hotel Dieu, a famous hos- pital of Paris. Mme. Calabresi, who was most grievously weunded, was shrieking with pain as she was being conveyed to the hospital, caus- ing great excitement in the neighborhood where > bere took place; the first reports having it that four or five le had been killed. sie An uncle of Mme. Calabresi was wounded severely by a bullet from the bomb, which passed almost through his body, making five people, more or iess, severely’ wounded by the explosion. u The Police Reticent. The police, as usual, are maintaining Sreat secrecy in regard to this latest bomb outrage, and No. 69 Rue St. Jacques was this morning in the hands of the police, who were making a thorough investigation. According to one theory, the bomb was placed where it was found by an anarchist lodger, who had a personal grudge against M. and Mme. Calabresi, and who was aware that they would force open his door so soon as they became convinced that he had disappeared, or that something was wrong inside the apartment. ‘The explosion caused great damage in the tenement, blowing out the windows, crash- ing down the partitions and doing other injury of a similar nature. This afternon there was a renewal of the excitement caused by the finding of another bomb. This time there was no explosion. The second bomb was found in the Hotel de L'Esperance, on the Rue du Faubourg St. Martin, at 11:30 a.m., and was similar in shape and make to the one which ex- ploded early this morning. The bomb of Hotel de L'Esperance was found in a man- ner similar to that of the house on Rue St. Jacques this morning. The last bomb was safely taken to the municipal laboratory, where it will be examined, The police are of the opinion that the bomb which exploded this morning in the Rue St. Jacques and the bomb found later in the Hotel de L'Esperance were placed there by the same person, but it is difficult to understand the motive, as both those hotels are small tenement-like places fre- quented almost entirely by workmen and it is not thought likely that anarchists would attempt to injure this class of people. The more reasonable supposition is that the two bombs left in the two houses were either placed there by some crank or else they were experimental affairs which were being tested by one or more anarchists. The Police Were Informed. Additional investigation into the bomb scares shows that the prefect of police re- ceived a letter signed. “Ravally,” which an- nounced that a bomb had been placed in the Hotel de L'Esperance. Upon receipt of the letter, see & e story, the police were dispatched to the howe mentioned and succeeded in finding bomb referred to. ‘Nine secretary of the municipal laboratory was sent for to supervise the transportation of the bomb to the laboratory, but the latest news irom the house is that the secretary and police officers were afraid to touch che bomb and were deliberating as to the best means to take it, in order to remove it without causing an explosion. Some were in favor of soaking the bomb in a bucket of water; but nobody appeared ready to volunteer to put it into the water. Others advised playing water upon it from a ho: but this plan was not adopted, as it was feared that it would cause the bomb to move and thus explode. is It is asserted that “Ravally” was the name given by the suspicious-looking inii- vidual who rented the room in the Rue St. Jacques where the explosion took place this rning. maccording to another account “Rava wrote to the police commissary, Dresca, who arrested “Ravachol,” the executed an- archist, saying that he, “Ravally,” inten 1- ed to commit suicide at the Hotel de L’Es- perance, and the writer is supposed to have intended that the bomb should explode when the commissary opened the door, but still, according to the version of the affair, the bomb fell to the floor when the door was opened and failed to explode. PARIS, Feb. 20.—It 1s now reported that an attempt had been made ilso to blow up the buildings of the ministry of foreign af- fairs on the Quai D Orsay. The police, it is said, have in their possession an iron’ tube which was found lying at the enirance. CHEERS FOR THE KAISER. | Sweartng in ‘al Recruits — Little Comment About the Bismarck Adair. WILHELMSHAVEN, Feb. 20.—Emperor | William and Prince Henry of Prussia arriv- led here at 11 o'clock this morning and |drove to the drill ground in order to ad- | minister the oath of allegiance to the naval | recruits. The streets were decorated with | flags, and from the station to the drill ground was lined with marines, who loud- lly cheered the emperor and the imperial party. The weather was beautiful. LONDON, Feb. 20.—A dispatch to the Datly Ne from Berlin says: None of the Berlin papers this morning devotes a leader | to the emperor's visit to Friedrichsruh. The reports of the visit are confined to the out- ward details. Moreover, in consequence of | what has been heard since Prince Bis- marck’s visit to Kerlin, the impression 1s growing that his majesty regards the whole affair as purely private and personal. Whether Prince Bismarck came to Berlin with similar feelings it is not known. The friends of the ncellor seem to be dis- appointed at this aspect of the matter. INQUEST OVER BOURDIN. A French Anarchist Makes a Fiery Address to the Jurymen. LONDON, | the inquest today over the remains of Bour- din, the anarchist, who was recently killed by the premature explosion of a bomb which he was carrying, in Greenwich Park, were purely formal. As the jurymen were visiting the scene of the explosion,a French anarchist. mounted the railings near the spot and shouted “Vive l’'Anarchie,” and proceeded to make a flery address to the crowds which soon gathered about him. | The police acted with a great deal of mod- eration, merely ordering the anarchist to desist from speaking. Commenting on the fact that the police were ignorant of Bourdin’s movements, the Times says it believes that there would be no serious resistance to the passage of a bill making the throwing of explosives a capital offense, even in cases where nobody | was killed; but, it adds, changes in the j criminal code are less needed than greater vigor on the part of the police in the en- forcement of laws already existing. Servian Conspirators Arrested. LONDON, Feb. 20.—A dispatch to the Daily News from Vienna says: It ts rumor- ed from Belgrade that an attempt has been made on the life of the Servian home min- ister, and that six persons have been ar- rested for complicity. A Coming Marriage Announced. LONDON, Feb. 20.—The Times makes the announcement that Home Secretary As- quith will shortly marry Miss Margot Ten- nant, daughter of Sir Charles Tennant. Miss Tennant was, it will be recalled, badly injured by a fall on January 20, while following the Cottsmore hounds. Miss Ten- nant is generally credited with being the founder of “The South,” a society which flourishes in the West End, and to which Mrs. Henry Whiie, wife of the ex-first sec- retary of the United Stat@s embassy, be- longed. It has also been said that the au- thor of “Dodo” partly modeled his heroinc on Miss Margot Tennat. The Brandenburg Disaster. LONDON, Feb. 20.—The Times has the following dispatch from Berlin: The Reich- sanzeiger says that according to the report of an expert sent by the government to in- vestigate the accident aboard the warship Brandenburg no blame attaches to the crew of the vessel or to the members of the im- perial dockyard who were on the véssel. He says that both the boilers and the en- gine were properly supervised. This state- ment leaves little room for doubt that the accident was due to a flaw in workmanship. France and a “Certain Power.” LONDON, Feb. 20.—A dispatch to the Telegraph from Paris says: M. Casimir- Perier, the prime minister, at an important conference of the custom commerce, was asked how the proposed wheat duty would affect the relations of France with a cer- tain power. Secrecy 1s maintained as to the nature of the premier’s reply, but it is believed that he strongly opposed the im- position of any higher duty than that which the government proposed. The “cer- tain power” is supposed to refer to Russia. a A NEW YORKER ARRESTED. Said to Be Wanted for Thefts in an Apartment House. Edward P. Youngs, a nicely dressed man about forty years old, was a prisoner in Judge Miller’s court today on a chatge of carrying concealed weapons. He hails from New York, where he was born, and where he lived until a few weeks ago, when he disappeared to keep out of the clutches of the law. To a Star reporter he confessed that he was guilty of having robbed his employer of $500, but denied that he was guilty of other thefts attributed to him. It was nearly 11 o’clock last night when Policeman John J. Smith found him walk- ing along Lincoln avenue in the direction of Glenwood cemetery, The man seemed to be troubled about something, and the offl- cer, suspecting something wrong, stopped him and asked: “Where are you going?” “IT am looking for 621 M street,” replied the stranger. “Then you are going in the wrong direc- tion,” explained the officer, who asked, “Are you a stranger here?” | Another Attempted Outrage Reported. | The man replied that he was a stranger, and started in the direction of the house mentioned, when shown the way by the policeman. Nothing more was thought of the man until about five minutes later, when he returned and was again making his way in the direction of the country, the officer now thinks for the purpose of com- mitting suicide, when he stopped him and put him under arrest as a suspicious person. “Do you ever read the New York Her- ald?” the man asked the officer. replied the officer, am wanted in New York,” the well- dressed New Yorker said, but the officer doubted the truth of his statement. “I've been fooled in that way before,” said the officer, “and I don’t want you to tell me the truth now.” An Apartment House Clerk. The prisoner declared that he had told the truth, and then he evidently changed his mind about making a confession of his crime, for he attempted to rid himself of a clipping from the New York Times of February 3, which reads: “Edward P. Youngs, clerk of the Chelsea apartment house, has disappeared. He was discharged January 2 because it was claim- ed that he had taken $500. Youngs former- ly lived at 186 East 50th street. On De- cember 22, 1893, diamonds were stolen from the apartments of Mrs. Mary A. Ballard and Mrs. Mary Townsend was arrested, charged with the theft. Detective Herdel- berg made un investigation and, he says, discovered that Youngs associated with criminals. It was also found that Youngs had keys to Mrs. Ballard’s apartment: “When these facts were told to Just Taintor in the Tombs police cour: yester. day he ordered Mrs. Townsend's discharge. No trace has been found of Youngs. He is said to have lived in an expensive manner and to have associated with fast compun- ions. He has two sisters, who are suid to be members of the Casino chorus.” When the officer reached the corner of Florida avenue and 4th street he took from his pocket an American pulldog revolver, and, handing it over to the ofhcer, asked: “Isn't it a fine of $50 to carry a pistol in the streets of this city?” ‘Che officer told him that it was against the Jaw, but that officers did not make a habit of searching citizens on the streets. When the police station was reached the man gave his name as Harry Youngs, but he afterward admitted that he was the iman referred to in the newspaper clipping. In the Police Court, This morning the prisoner was taken to the Police Court in the “Black Maria” and but in a cell with a number of white and colored men, there to be heid until his case was called. He had just 5 cents in his pocket. He is a medium-sized man, with black whiskers and dark complexion. When questioned by a Star reporter, he said he had been here about flve weeks and had | lived at the house mentioned—€21 M street. His attention was called to the newspaper clipping and he was asked: “Did you take the $2002" yes,I took the money,” wes his response. jow about the diamond: know nothing about them.” “But you had keys to Mrs. Ballard’s apart- ments? “Oh, yes, I had keys to all the apartments in the house. I was employed there as clerk, and, of course, I had the keys to all the Feb. 20.—The proceedings at } apartments.” The prisoner said that Mrs. Ballard, who lost the diamonds,is the wife of the head hat- ter in Dunlap’s hat factory. Mrs. Townsend, the woman arrested, he said, was Mrs. Bal- lard’s maid. Youngs said he was a married man, but has no children. He said he was | so heartbroken that when arrested last night {he would have confessed his crime had he been asked. Now he 1s willing to return to New Yor receive what punishment is meted out to him. When he appeared in Judge Miller’s court he plead guilty to a charge of concealed weapons. The officer stated to the court the circumstances under which the arrest was made, as stated above, and exhibited the Weapon as evidence in the case. Inspector Hollinberger,who had telegraphed Inspector Byrnes in New York, was in court to hear the man’s statement. He told the court that he had sent the message to New York and was waiting for a response, which he thought would be received later in the day. Judge Miller suspended sentence in the case to await the receipt of a reply to the telegram sent to New York, —— No More Yellow Fever. Naval officials here are satisfied that there has been no further outbreak of yel- jJow fever on the Amet n fleet since the case reported on the Newark. The fact that the New York and all of the squadron except the San Francisco have left Rio bay is not an indication that other cases of fever have appeared, as the movements were in exact conformity with the pro- gram of Admiral Benham telegraphed to the department last Friday, according to which he would remain in the harbor on his flagship, the San Francisco, and send the other vessels outside the bay, but within signaling distance, in order to min- jimize the danger from fever.

Taking Testimony of a Sensational Kind in Kentucky. A Physici: Tells a Startling Story— Raking Up the Past—Mrs. Black- burn’s Deposition. The Pollard-Breckinridge breach of prom- ise suit is now being aired in the news- Papers, in the form of statements made | 1a depositions taken on either side. Some of the statements made may never be ad- mitted as evidence in court. Testimony gathered by the defense in Kentucky and elsewhere is intended evidently to prove} that Miss Poillard’s character was bad and had been for a long time. Dispatches from Danville, Ky., give the substance of a sen- sational statement made in a deposition taken there yesterday by Dr. T. M. Lewis, an old physician. This deposition brings into the case the name of the late Col. A. M. Swope, and, if it is established as a fact that the Miss Pollard he refers to is; the one suing Mr. Breckinridge, would re-| lieve Mr. Breckinridge of the charge that he was the father of the child born in 1885. Dr. Lewis’ Deposition. * A special dispatch to The Star from Dan- ville, says: Yesterday the Breckinridge- Pollard lawyers developed one of the most startling chapters in the whole affair. This consisted in dragging into the scandal the name of the late Col. A. M. Swope, collec- tor of internal revenue in the Lexington district, under Presidents Hayes, Garfield and Arthur. Col. Swope’s tragic death, as a result of the famous encounter between him and Wm. Cassius Goodloe in the Lexington post office, which also resulted in the death of Goodloe, makes his name still fresh in the minds of the reading public of the 'rit- ed States, and the prominent connection which he is now given with the scandal adds ten-fold to the sensational details of the affair. ‘ The only witness examined waz T. M. Lewis, an old and well-known physician. The doctor’s statement was substantially as follow: Early in February, 1885, I received a letter from Col. A. M. Swope, then collector of internal revenue, with headquarters at Lexington, in which he stated that he desired to meet me at Dan- ville on a certain date, which I do rot now remember, on important busiaess. I kept the engagement, and in a few days after the receipt of the letter I met C ope on Main street in this city. Aft a few informal words we got to busines: Col. Swope told me he had become seriously compromised in his relations with a young lady by the name of Pollard, who used to live at Crab Orchard. He then went on to say that she w in a delicate condition; that he was responsible for her predica- ment, and that he thought, with my aid, everything could be straightened sut sa‘ isfactorily and no one ever b2 the wiser. He ended up by asking me to ‘ange for @ meeting with the young lady and pro- duce an abortion. I at once refused to accept such a proposition and endeavored to impress him with the criminality of such an act. He appeared to appreciate the solemnity of the situation and said that he had not given it the thought which it demanded, and that I was righ?, and he was sorry that such an idea had even entered his mind.” “Mr. Swope seemed to be !n great distress over the turn affairs had taken and arous- ed my sympathies to a high degree. “We parted, and I never saw hitn again until the autumn of the same year, when I met him at his father’s place, in Lincoin county. Being interested in the outcome of his misfortune, I approached him about the matter, and ae told me that the child had been born and now had a good home.” Mrs. Blackburn’s Statement. As an offset, perhaps, to the depositions taken by the defense and recently publish- ed, what purports to be a deposition given by Mrs, Julia C. Blackburn, widow of Gov. Luke Blackburn of Kentucky, has been given out. The contents of the deposition said to have been made two weeks ago in this city by Mrs. Blackburn are given in a special dispatch from Cincinnati to the New York World today. This dispatch says: Mrs. Blackburn said that Col. Breckin- ridge brought Miss Pollard to her, impelled, as he explained, by consciousness of the good influences that would accrue from the asgociation of Miss Pollard with such a lady as Mrs. Blackburn. Subsequently he ex- pressed his admiration for Miss Pollard in a way that led Mrs. Blackburn to believe that he was captivated by her. He gave Mrs. Blackburn such a favorable impres- sion of Miss Pollard that Mrs. Blackburn admitted her to her circle of friends and he would marry Miss Pollard, and he re. Vener in all apparent =~ that his in- lention was to marry Miss Pollard, w: he loved devotedly. bs rea When Col. questions she thought hi had not acted right in the matter, a and that Miss Pollard had irreparabiy Wronged. Mrs. Blackburn said that the intimacy of the relations between the two was attested by the fact that Miss Pollard always called him “Willie” and that he did not show any displeasure thereat. The Engagement. Continuing, Mrs. Blackburn said: “Col. Breckinridge called in to see about Miss Pollard and his future lations to her. He said he had told that of course their marriage could not take place for some time, and then said to me: ‘I saw that you looked shocked when I announced my engagement.’ 1 told him very candidly that I was, and said: ‘This seems to me to be a’ very Poor return for so much devotion as you received. You have forgotten your wife so soon.’ He then said: ‘Mrs. Black- burn, Iam going to tell you something which I never expected would pass my lips. But for your feelings about it I think that it is due to myself. I had discovered Miss Pollard’s feelings toward me, and, being a man of honor, there was nothing left for me to do. There is no other way for me.” My remark to him then was: ‘Certainly, you take a very high view of the case. I do not think that all gentlemen would do so.’ He spoke about it not being possible for his mar- riage to take place immediately, because it would outrage his children’s feelings. “T said upon one or two occastons: ‘Mr. Breckinridge, I told Miss Pollard tha if she is engaged to you you could not hurt ‘her worse than by your constant - vis- its; that they would give rise to scandal. 1 tell you, moreover, thas if you allow your conduct to compromise Miss Pollard’ she cannot receive any care cr kindness from me re- her “Did he say anything else in regard to Miss Pollard's «ccomplishments on that occasion?” “Yes, he said she was one of the most megnetic and agreeable women he had ever known.” “Do you recall when you next saw the defendant, if at all, when this same sub- ject was renewed?” “Yes, but I do not recall the exact time I wrote to Col. Breckinridge and requested an interview with him. I told him that he had not fulfilled his promise.” Lived in a Corvent. “Did he tell you where Miss Pollard had lived when she first came to Washington?” “Yes, he told me that she lived in a con- vent. It was in speaking of how easy it was for a woman's reputation to be destroyed here in Washington that the colonel said that the only thing that had spared her from scandal of such a character was that Castoria For Infants and Children.

Breckinridge, last May, Mrs.Blackburn said: “On that occasion the colonel said that Miss Pollard was jealous of him. I then told him that, as he was engaged to her, he should not pay any attentions to any one else. I also told him that Miss Pollard had called upon me and said how jealous she was of him.” id the defendant say anything about his engagement to the plaintiff?” “Yes, he did. I said to Col. Breckinridge: ‘I begged her to give you up.’ If the colonel wished to act a villain I do not know of anything to prevent it. I said that to Col. Breckinridge, and he then emphatically de- nied it and said that it was @ lie—a base lie, and that he had never shown this attention to any one else. Then he turned. to me and said: ‘If Miss Pollard would only exercise judgment she would see that if this report of my engagement to Mrs. Wing reaches Kentucky it will be a benefit to her, be- cause,” he said, * it will familiarize my chil- dren with the idea of my getting married.’” “Will you state‘f you ever observed any demonstrations of affection from the plain- tiff to the defendant, or from the defendant to the plaintiff, in your presence, and, if so, where it was and what occurred? “Theirs was a manner that I would take to be that of engaged people. For instance. he called her Madeline, and she always called him William, or Willie. “Upon one occasion, i my presence, when she came here with him, she approached him and said: ‘Now, Willie, name the day when we are to be married before Mrs. Blackburn.’ He gaid: ‘I cannot name the day now owing to circumstances, but I will come back and see Mrs. Blackburn ard name the day. I will tell you the girl, and It will be the girl I told Mrs. Blackburn I was engaged to.’ I said: ‘Miss Pollard, that ought to be sufficient, for in your pres- ence Col. Breckinridge has told me that he was engaged to you.’ She got up and kneeled by the side of Col. Breckinridge, put her arms around his shoulders and he took her hand and held ft and said: ‘Now, do not let us make any more demonstra- tions before Mrs. Blackburn.’ ” —_ LEGION GF HONOR. An!

The stability board, which is now inquir- ing irto the question of the stability of the vessels of the navy, has dropped for the time the examination of the vessels already in commission and is devoting its attention to the vessels how under construction. It is felt that economy may be served by this course, as it will be pcssible to correct de- fects in stability more speedily and at much less experse if they are discovered before the vesseis are completed and fitted out. There are about six ships on the list of the board at present, including the new battle ships, and the determination of errors in their construction is necessarily slower in their case than it would be with complete vessels, as the calculations must be theo- retical and largely without the aid of tical heeling tests, aril ——---e-+—_____ Capt.
