Thrown in the Streets.

Thrown in the Streets.
LYONS, June 26.-The disorders here
and at other places in France resulting
from the indignation of the people,at
the assassination of President Carnot,
We're continued throughout the night
Crowds thronged the streets and in
spite of the efforts of the pol lice and mil
itary sacked italian stores and taverns
and after throwing their contents into
the streets. made bonfires of everything
combushble.
The police frequently charged the
rioters who, however, always retreated
before the officers of the law, seeming
determined to demonstrate the fact that
they were vindictive against Italians
only, and not seeking a conflict with
the authorities.
Here, and i'll other towns of France,
excited by the murder of President Car
not, the Italian sculptors, woodcarvers,
imagemakers, grocers and guilders suf-
fered at the hands of tie mob. When
ferreted out they were beaten and rolled
in the cutters; their belongings were
seized and broken up or burned, and
many of them barely escaped with their
lives.
Wholesale pilldge reigned supreme
throughout the night and large num-
bers of Italians have been hopelessly
ruined. Others have fled from Lyons
and more are expected to follow.
Scenes of disorder similar to those
witnessed here Monday night, are re-
ported from several other towns of
France, notably from Grenoble and
DlgOn and there is prospect of more
rioting Tuesday.
The troops have supported the police
in every case in the Efforts of the author

Our people are making arrange
ments to celebrate the Fourth of
July, in great shape. A large
amount of money has been sub
scribed to pay expenses, and prem
iums; a big trades display in which
nearly every business in town will
be represented, will be feature of
the day; the greasy pole with $50
bill on the top will be a Iaughable
affair, and the fellow who climbs
the pole and reaches the bill will
get it for his agility; the greasy pig
will be another interesting affair,
and the one who catches and holds
the pig will be the owner of it; then
there will be bicycle and foot races;
base ball games; good music; good
speaking; a platform dance and
many other attractions, and you
can't afford to stay away from Point

of unoccupied land made productive
and peopled by the thrifty and de-
sirable element of those who seek
new homes and who would help us

good results; but an immense
amount of room for further improve

increase our population and enhance
the value of every dollars worth

reports of rain Mt nearly every oil 1plcfe
tho fires had beon worst. Queries sent
out from Ashland have brought back
many responses regarding tho rain, which
has to n great extent checked the flames.
From IronwoOd came the following re-
sponse: This city Is in no danger from
forest fires. Rain fell for nearly two
hours. Monday the fires crcpt up over tho
Gogcbio range around the Norris mine
and were advancing on the city from that
direction"
In explaining the reason -. the fires
ono railroad official snid that it was all
owing to the great amount of brush and
rubbish left In the rapid construction of
the railroads and also the great amount
created in logging. No precautions had
been taken to clear up the stuff and
burn It.
\ vast amount of territory burned over
by the fires this year had not been visited
by fires in years before, and the accumu-
lation of lad material had given last
ing existence to the flames which will
take days of rain to effectually extinguish.
Every town damaged by fro has been re-
markably negligent in tho matter of clear
ing up around the suburbs. Stumps and
brush heaps have been feft along the
racks and in vacant lots.
