Lyons again visited the prefecture yester-
day afternoon, and offered consolation to
Nine Carnot and her children. During
the afternoon the doctors made a post
mortem examination of the remains of the
late president, and afterward issued a re-
port to the effect that the wound was
seated just beneath the right false ribs.
II was two-thi-ls of an inch wide aud four
Inches deep. Tho blade of the stiletto
penetrated the right lobe of the liver, cut
ting the portal vein in two places. The
latter caused intra- peritoneal hemorrhage,
resulting in death,
The body of NJ. Carnot was taken from
The prefecture in the evening and placed
on the train that will convey it to Paris.
After prayers for the dead had been of
Tered the casket containing the remains
was carried out and placed on a gun car
rage. While this was being done salyos
of artillery were fired, trumpets were
sounded and drums beaten. Every civil
and military honor was shown the dead.
The square in front Of the prefecture
was densely thronged, as were all the
streets leading to the railway stations.
Troops and gendarmes kept the route
clear. The procession that followed the
body was a very lengthy one 1t included
all the civil and military authorities of
Lyons and q large number of delegates
from different cities and towns As the
cortege passed slowly along the streets
were rem arkably silent. Almost the ,fily
sounds that could be heard were the
tramping of the horses and the rumbling
of the gun carriage. Every man along the
line of the march removed his hat as the
body passed by, and many silent prayers
were offered for the repose of Nj, Carnot's
soul
No sooner had the cortegc gone by, how
aver, than great change appeared in the
crowd. Thespeople, who had heretofore
stood reverent and mute before the ma
tion's martyr, now gave vent to their pcnt
up excitement and rage Everywhere
could be heard cries of Long live Car
notr' death to his murderer" The sud
den transition in the feelings of he crowd
boded i'll for the resident Italians, and
when some Of the more hot headed men in
the crowd proposed that an attack be
made upon the Italian quarters the prop
ositon was received with wild cheers of
approval.
In almost less time than 1t takes TO tell
II the enormous mob, at the head of which
was carried French flag, was en- route
to the part of the city given to the ltnl-
fans Before the police could intervene
to prevent the trouble the mob had at
tackled all the shops belonging to the for
eigners and sacked them. The propre-
tors and their families We're forced TO flee
for their lives. In the meantime another
large band marched through other streets
and by threats compelled every Italian
who kept a ca&Ato close his place of bust
ness The crowds in the Rue de la Re
publique became threatening and refused

1t was finally found necessary to COM
mand the cuiriassairs to charge the crowd
In order to clear the street.
The mob afterward set fire to several of
the Italian cafes A commissary police
begged the crowd to respect the ailiiction
Madame Carnot, but the rioters replied
with shouts of, I'VE will ayenge Carnotrt
The most intense excitement prevails
As the night advanced the rioting in
the city became more widespread, and at
que time il appeared as though the mobs
would take full possession of the town.
Thousands Of men and youths paraded
the streets and sacked every Italian store
they came across The streets were strewn
with debris Of every description During
the night fully 800 arrests We're made.

latter spoke disparagingly of the dead
president. The words had scarcely left
his lips when several of the Frcnchmen
fell upon him, and one Of them struck tho
Italian fearful blow on the head with a
heavy iron bar, badly fracturing his skull
The Italian had strength enough to draw
aknife, but before he had chance to nse
the weapon the police interviewed The
officers had the greatest difficulty in say
ing him from the crowd which had gath
cred. Physicians say he can live only a
short time.

Deputy Chaudey, whose father was shot
during the commune, was driving in tho
official procession at the time NJ Garnot
was stabbed. His carriage was directly
behind the presidents The officer who
was riding beside NJ. Garnot's carriage
was asked by the president to stand aside
In order to let the good people, as NJ. Car
not termed them, who wanted to shake
hands With him come nearer. The next
minute the assassin jumped upon the
step of the carriage. The president held
out his hand to shake ths hand of the
stranger when SaEto thrust his knife
with tremendous force into NJ Carnot's
body.
