A Priest Assassinated at the Altar.

IA ET10Sb ASSaSe1nat0Q at the Altar.
At Anglesola, village in the province
of Lerida, Spain, on Good Friday, the
usual services of the day were being OBJ
served, and the church was filed to it's
utmost capacity with devout worship>
pers. Everything was calm as became
the solemn ceremonies, aud Father
Francisco Marti, the priest in charge of
the parish, was kneeling at the altar.
Suddenly and without q word of warn
ing, a man armed with revolver and a
short sword sprang out from behind the
pulpit, at the left OF the altar, where be
| had been concealed, and rushed upon
the priest, brandishing his sword. Faiths
er Marti, whose back was to the congre-
cation, seemed to have instructive warn
ing that danger threatened him and he
| partly turned his head in the direction
of the man. But he was too late to do
more than raise his hand to attempt to
ward off the sword blow he saw aimed
at him. 79t
The man stood over his kneeling vic
tim, the bright steel flashed in circling
blow, and in an instant the priest lay
dead in front of the altar where he had
I.long served. The assassn's blow had
struck the back of his neck, and the
keen blade almost severed his head from
his body. The corpse fell forward, and
a stream of blood poured down the altar
steps. Part of the hand the priest had
raised in his vain effort to ward off the
blow was cut off and lay beside the bleed
ing body
The deed was committed in far less
time than it takes to tell it. BY this
time the people realized the awfulness of
the tragedy they had just seen enacted.
Women shrieled in terror and many
tainted away. Some few of the cool
headed men attending the services made
an attempt to seize the murderer, but
they were thwarted by the assassin, who
had undoubtedly armed himself with q
revolver for just such a contingency.
Leveling this weapon he fred right and
left, and drove his would-be captors to
seek safety in flight. One woman, shrink
ing and crouching close to the altar rails
was IIIU ny one I'll The puiittS. bilC Ut
tered a most piercing shrek, threw up
her hands and fell dead to the floor.
The worshipers were panic-stricken.
A general rush was made for the doors
and many OF the people were thrown
down and trarnpled upon by the excited
throngs behind them Several of them
were quite seriously injured in this man
ner, among the number being some chill
dren, who, it is believed, will die. The
whose revolver was now emptied
sprang into the fleeing crowd, and WELD
ing his sword. still dripping with the
blood of the riassacred priest, he slashed
right and left, cutting his way to the
street. The crowd huddied closer to-
gether to avoid the vicious blows aimed
at them, making as far as possibiea clear
path for the murderer, but quite num-
Der of them were hit by the sharp weap-
on and very dangerously wounded.
When he reached the street the assassin
started on q run and soon vanished
Subseq euntly, q man named Alsina,
who was identified as the assassin, was
