It was charged that he had used only a small portion Os the building for the so ciety’s use, and had no right to give the society’s notes in payment. At the last meeting of the society it •was resolved to expoll him unless he re funded the money by this time. Last night the resolution came before the committee. Captain Tom Lyon wanted it adoptd, but wanted nothing said about expel ling Mr. Jemison. The others differed with him, and quite a heated discuss ion arose. One old member was told by the captain that his head was ’’thick as a clapboard and he did not know what he was talking about.” Another started a speech by saying: ”1 think,” when Captain Lyon cried out, ’’Shut up, you haven’t sense enough to think.” The resolution to expel Mr. Jemison was then adopted. Captain Lyon informed the commit tee that ”it was not two inches and a half from the lunatic asylum. ”He said it was like beating a corpse with a mallet to adopt the resolution expelling Jemison, as by the action of the law he was expelled by not paying’the'money. The next meeting meets^.in Carrollton. DREADED TO OBEY. A Bride Sobs at tho Thought of From ifting Obedience.

Bomb-Throwers Worshipped As Martyrs By Comrades. PARIS TERRIBLY EXCITED. A Paris Paper Publishes a Re sume of the Doctrine Now Promulgated In France. Paris, Feb. 15.—The recant execution of Vaillant followed almost immediately by the throwing of another bomb by Emile Henry has renewed interest in tho vagaries of the redhanded murderers who style themselves anarchists. The Figaro publishes a sketch of an archism as it is understood in France. The article was illustrated with pictures more or less grotesque. The trial and execution of Ravachol first drew atten tion to those outlaws. Ravachol, be cause of his former misdeeds, was frowned upon by the anarchistic party, but quickly a reaction set in his favor. This feeling of admiration began to grow during his two trials and increased upon his condemnation to death. Oc tave Mirabeau and Tabarant praised him in Eu-Dehors; the Revolte, after some hesitation, vindicated him; M. Paul Adam eulogized him in The Entre tiens; M. Goalie praised him in Social, and so on. After his execution his fame was still more increased. Some discovered a su preme logic—anarchistic—in his differ ent crimes. They declared that he had given a definite form to individual insur rection. It was settled that he had been an assassin, the ghoul of the graveyard, the dynamitard, he was a symbol—guil lotined. The “eulte” of Ravachol was now bom. The anarchists already counted among their martyrs those hanged in Chicago, those garroted at Xeres, in Spain, th® beheaded Germans, Reinsdorf and Kuch ler. The French revolutionists, in spit® of their internationalism, were in need of a national martyr who should have been guillotined. This one was more than a martyr—he was “Ravachol Jesus,” as a writer ot ; the party, Paul Paillette, styled him. A photograph of him, representing him standing, with fiery eye, in prison shoes, with a gendarme on each side of him, was reproduced on thousands of leaflets. Another photograph was even more of a success, and bore bis last words; —“If thou wishest to be happy, nom de Dieu! hang thy landlord.” Some pamphlets glorifying him were published, among them, “Anarchist Ravachol,” “Ravachol and Carnot— Hades.” In the almanac of Pera Pei nard are to be found fugitive pieces de scriptive of the life of Ravachol. In the almanac are a hymn and a symbolic portrait of Ravachol. “Ravacholism” counts its devotees only among the hot headed and the readers of “Pere Peinard.” La Revolte does not protest, but looks gruffly at the “culte.” The theorists of the party are afraid of seeing anarchy proclaimed by evildoers who have nothing symbolic of anarchy about them. The theorists, communists and writers of the party have formulated a doctrine which is as far as possible homogeneous and “inpersonal." Very different is that wing of the party, the partisans of tho propaganda, known in Paris by the term “impulsifs.” They have neither doc trine nor principles. They are obstinate, a class by themselves, and have invented a species of anarchy for themselves which is nearer the old acceptation of the word than the etymological defini tion given by Prouhon. They have made of their hatreds, their anger and their sufferings a doctrine which is but the application of their passions and their individual instincts to an anar chistic demand upon society. UNEARTHED AT TAMPA. The Postmaster General Stops the Delivery of Mail to the Lottery Company. Washington, Feb. 15.—Postmaster General Bissell has discovered that tho Louisiana Lottery company has estab lished itself at Port Tampa, Fla., and has ordered the discontinuance of the de livery of mail at that point to the Cen tral American Express company, a mask for the company or its agents.
