Mob Wrecks the Interior of the Church of
st. Joseph.
Proceeding thence toward the Fau-
bourg du Temple, which it reached at
the corner of the Rue Darboy and
the Rue st. Mauri-Popincourt, the mob
formed up into a compact body.
Hatchets were suddenly produced, with
long knives stolen from the couE.ers
of shops, and concerted rush was
made upon the church of St Joseph.
The aged sacriStan, seeing the mob.
hastily closed the outer gates, but these
were soon forced with hatchets and
bars of iron. The massive oaken doors
were then attacked. The wild horde
burst into the church, which instantly
became a scene of pillage and sacrilege.
Affairs and statues were hurled to the
floor and smashed, pictures were rent,
candlesticks, ornaments, and hosts
from the high altars were thrown down
and trampled under foot.
The crucifix above was made the
target for missiles, and the figure of
the Saviour was fractured in several
places. Then. while raucous voices
sang the "Carmagnole," the chairs
were carried outside, piled up and set
on fire in the center of the square
frontiaSyehe- e-chuFch.--Nhen- this stage
was reached the crucifix was pulled
down and thrown into the flames. Sud-
denly the cry was raised that the
statue of the Virgin had been forgotten
and the crowd returned and tore this
down also.
Meanwhile the sacristan, who had
been captured by the anarchists, es-
capped and called the police and Repub-
iIcan Guards, who promptly arrived
with many constables. They were COM
PEELED to fall back in order to form up
into line of defense, as the anarchists
attacked them viciously with knives
At length the officers began to gain
the mastery. a score of anarchists took
refuge in an adjacent house Others
entrenched themselves in the belfry
and fiercely defended themselves by
showering missiles on the Republican
Guards; but finally these were dis
lodged.
Twenty anarchists were arrested.
taken to the police station, searched,
and found TO be carrying reyolvers,
loaded sticks and knives.
When the police entered the church
the anarchists had just set fire to the
pulpit. The interior of the edifice was
a complete wreck. Several valuable old
pictures that can never be replaced
were ruined.

Chicago, Aug. 21.-The sanitary dis

at least three sections, remove the de-
linquent contractors, and complete the
100000 worth of work at the expense

This action has been made necessary
by reason of the alleged negligence of
the contractors and their apparent in
difference to their contract obligations
