MONTREAL, Sept. 2.-This afternoon the
members Of the Institut Canadien and their
friends, numbering some 3OO accompanied the
body OF Guibord from the Protestant cemetery
vaults, and reached the Catholic cemetery gates
at o'clock.
In the meantime about nve hundred French
Canadian roughs had assembled In and about
the entrance, cursing Gubord and the Institut
Canadien, and vowing they would never let the
bones lie In consecrated ground.
On the approach Of the procession a rush was
made by the mob, who barred the yates, re-
fusing entrance and pouring insults on the pro-
cession, and also commenced nlling their pock-
cts with stones. The hearse was driven OF from
the entrance to the cemetery, and Mr. Doutre
despatched a bailn to notify the guardians Of
the ground that a hearse wanted admission. He
also communicated with the city authorities
demanding police and military aid. Some 1900
people were present at this time.
At half past three o'clock the mob made a
rush for the hearse, crying "Curse him."
Curse him" and stoned IL OF the ground. The
driver of the hearse was injured by the stones
and many were bruised and tramped by the
horses.
