Fight Between Sisters,

PLAINFIELp, N. j., May 1.-At
William Street Cemetery yesterday,
two sisters fought pitch battle over
the remains of their mother. The
mother and all the family, but one
daughter, were Catholic, and when
the mother died the Catholic chill
dren were unable to bear the funer-
al expenses, and the protestant
daughter agreed to bury the mother.
and was about to do so when the
procession was interrupted at the
cemetery gates by the Catholic
children, four in number, all grown
men and women, who threatened to
use violence if the body was inferred
IN the protestant burial grounds.
Finally by the aid of the police the
interrment was completed, but
violent demonstrations OF
the Catholic children of the
dead woman and their sympathizers
amounted to riot. An attempt was
made to kill the protestant daughter.
