Unloaists Of the city turned out largely last
night in a torchlight procession. A large
number Of outsiders also attended, s~t-rseted
BY the faensas OF the night and the expeeta-
ton OF novelty. as a eaHiope, preceded b a
boiler, chimney stack, and various other requi-

stssms and yelled volcanic fury and cape
