HERETICS BURNED.
A REMARKABLETALEF FROM
A MEXICAN TOWN.
A Petty Judge Has Ten People Put In
Jail and the Euilding Burned-Claimed
to Have . Vision From Heaven to Put
Them to Death for Not Believing.

New YORK, Nov. 4.-The World
contains additional details of the
burning of ten heretics by the Judge
of the Mexican town of Texacapa.
The dispatch says: AS soon as the
news reached Mollange. the principal
town in the district, the municipal
president ana minor officials, with an
escort of over sixty men, armed with
rifles, went to Texacapa, where they
found everybody in the public square
executing grotesque dances in honor
of the virgin of Guadaloupe around
the ruins of the Jail, small
building solidly constructed, close
to the parish church. In this
Jail previous to Saturday had been
confined Nicholas Hernandez, Martin
Santiago. Jose Manuel, Casper Hern-
ond, Maria Juana, Maria Magdalena,
Maria Conception and an infant child.
They had been rudely hustled from
their homes at dead of night on the
extraordinary charge preferred by the
auxiliary town judge that their lives
were an evil in the sight of God. and
that they were enemies of the faith
and heretics whom God had ordered
through his holy saint to be consumed
by fire.
The auxiliary judge related this
with the utmost sangfrOid to the au-
thOrities. He added that God had
wrought astonishing miracles to con-
form what the saint had told him in
the vision. Said the judge: 81 obeyed
the divine command and ordered out
my alguayciles (constables), and we
took these sinners from their beds and
dragged them in the darkness of night,
weeping and wailing, to the Jail.
When they were locked securely in. 1
ordered the alguayciles to set the
building on fire."
Twenty-one arrests were made, al
though the fanatical mob threatened
death to the authorities. The prison
ers, securely bound around the arms
and chained together, were marched
to Mollange, where a judicial investi-
CATION will take place. The whole
population of Texacapa appears gone
mad. All believe the auxiliary judge
was commissioned by the Almighty
and the saints to destroy evildoers.
They point to the pile of bones on
which they profess to see miraculously
Traced outline forms of the saints who,
On advising the judge to burn heretics,
eft their images. The community is
nothing but an open air madhouse.
