Fiendish Work of an italian Mob.

ROME, Dec Il.-A fendish riot, resulting
in the death of peasant and the serious If
not fatal burning of a constable. occurred
Yesterday at the town of Bitonto. The people
were celebrating religious festival, and at
night had a large quantity of fireworks that
they intended to set off. The gendarmes and
customs officers interfered to prevent the fire.
works display on the ground that it would be
dangerous. The people resented this action
and riot ensued. The gendarmes were or
dered to fire on the mob, and a peasant was
killed. This added to the fury of the mob,
and the gendarmes, apparently not wishing
to fire into the crowd again, slowly retreated
to the police station.
In the meantime constable named Curc
fell into the hands of the mob, and somebody
suggested that he be made torch of. This
suggestion was hailed with yells and cheers
of delight. A quantity of petroleum was pro
cured and poured over the unfortunate con
stable. A match was then applied to his
clothing. and in an instant he was enveoped
in mass of flames. Just as this moment a
body of gendarmes who had come from
another quarter of the town made a rush with
drawn swords upon the mob, scattering them
right and left with blows from the keen-edged
blades. Curci was rescued alive, but will
probably die.
A fatal riot is also reported from Glardl-
nelli. The rural population are bitterly op-
posed to the new communal tax on the sale
! of milk, and a riotous crowd vented their in
| dignation against the communal council for
| imposing the tax. They made an attack upon
the building in which the council meetings
are held, and it was necessary for troops to
intervene to restore order. The soldiers fired
into the mob and killed four persons and
wounded several others. The rioters then
dispersed.
As soon as the troops were withdrawn the
rioters gathered again, entered the rooms of
the sheriff and killed him and his wife, The
leaders cut the heads from both bodies, stuck
them on poles, and carried them thus at the
head of the mob through the town,
