A CONSULATE SACKED.

The Italian Repres. NATIVE Suffers at
Grenobte.
GRENOBLE, June 27.-There has been
serious rioting here. The disturbance
commenced on Sunday night and was
continued until early in the morning.
Late Sunday night number of French
and Italian workmen were drinking in
a wine shop. An Italian made a re-
mark which the Frenchmen regarded
as an insult. A free fight followed and
a mob of Frenchmen, headed by flags
and armed with sticks, invaded the
yards OF the horse car company and at
tackled and badly beat the Italians.
Just as the trouble was becoming more
serious the project arrived and induced
the Frenchmen to retire. At 2 o'clock
Monday afternoon the Italian cafes
were attacked. A numler of Italians
We're treated in the same manner. The
mob marched through the streets
shouting:
"Dovvn With the Italians."
Several Italians who were met in the
streets were beaten and kicked. The
mob was reinforced, and proceeded to
the Italian consulate.
The police vainly tried to check the
moi. The leaders procured ladder,
fixed it to the balcony of the consu late,
and several rioters headed by drunken
carpenter, entered the consulate, tore
up the Italian flag, smashed the es-
cut5heon, breaking the furniture, threw
the statuettes upon the floor and kicked
them to pieces, and sprang upon two
large oil paintings representing King
Humbert and Queen Margaret Of Italy
and threw them into the street.
A detachment of military engineers
was summoned and the soldiers charged
upon the mob. After the rioters were
driven out of the consulate, which was
then occupied by the troops, the project
made an apology to the Italian consul.

and quietly walked out, tying up the
suburban as well as express train serv-
ice. The 9 o'clock train for st. Louis
was allowed to pull out, as twas made
up before the boycott went into effect,
the last that would be allowed to leave

~, but apparently determined, to a
man, to maintain the boycott. The

street cars and cabs to reach their
homes. A largely attended meeting of
railroad men was held at which it was
determined by the Switchmen's, Car
Inspectors and Brakemen's unions to
announce to their employers that no
more Pullman cars will be handled un-
til the boycott is declared off. The

MONEY REcovERED.-A day or two
ago Mr.. James l.. Adams, while at the
shipyard, was requested by friend to
change note. Mr.. Adams did so,
and, while engaged in conversation,
thoughtlessly laid his pocketbook, con-

lumber where he was sitting. He for
got to return it to his pocket, and had
moved to another quarter OF the yard
when he discovered his loss. A search
was instituted, but the missing book
could no where be found. Later, how
eyer, Mr.. George Rowland saw two
colored boys examining something
which they appeared anxious to con-
ceai, and upon approaching them found
they had Mr. Adams's pocketbook and
money, which he took from them and
restored to the owner.
