TO FOLLOW VAILLANT.

The Anarchist Who Hurled the Bomb at the Barcelona Theater. The next dynam tec to follow Valliant to the scaffold, if he lives, will

probably bo Jose Salvador Franch, the man who throw the bomb at tho Barcelona Theater. Like Vaillant, Franch has deplorable antecedents. Though belonging to a respectable family at Castelseras, he ran away when only 14 to [Barcelona, where he joined the an-

archists, and hai lived from hand to mouth ever since. His wife Antonia was obliged to go out choring, and, according to her own account, she lived in fear of her husband poisoning her lest she should divulge anarchist secrets. Franch was a great friend of Pallas, who threw the bomb at Marshal Campos. and was the prime mover in a grand conspiracy for a general rising at Barcelona, where the anarchists were to burn the houses of the upper classes, loot shops, and assassinate indiscriminately. The anarchists were airaid to carry out the project, so Franch consoled himself by throwing the bomb in the Liceo Theater,whence he escaped in the confusion. He remained in hiding in various places till the police pounced upon him in Sara gossa, when ho tried to kill himself.
