Fatal Bee Sting.
French Baptist mission has recently
been established in Quebec, Canada, with
It's headquarters in building on Bridge
street, not far from its intersection with st.

The Lelecteur, a French newspaper, con-
tanned reference to this mission and or
roneously styled it the Salvation Army. That

gathered round the place and began throw

one, and windows and doors soon yielded
to the shower OF stones.
The missionaries were without any means
Of defence and We're held prisoners until
after some time q force Of policemen camo
along and cleared the crowd away some
what.
The mob left the Baptist mission and went
up to the building 1T the corner OF George
and Richelieu streets, which IS now occu-
pied by the French Episcopal mission. This
place. too, was battered by stones, the win
dows being destroyed. Before the time that
the police came up the rioters had moved on
TO the Salvation Army barracks on Palais
Hill.
Another broadsde Of stones was tred and
the property of the army sustained consid-
erabIe larnage. The girls who occupied the
place were obliged to flee. The police again
arrived too late to mako any arrests, and
hearing that the gang had again made for
the Grande Ligne Mission House on Bridge
street, they started i'll cabs for that place,
where they arrived just in time to prevent u
second riot
The streets were cleared as thoroughly as
possible and the missionaries were then es-
corted to their home by the police. A SINH
lar disturbance led to serious results q few
years ago. Local papers say that If the po
