Up to the midnight iifty.six persons

known, was injured by firearms.
Nearly all were hurt by being crushed
or trodden under foot
According TO the first account, the
wild horde burst into the church OF st.
Joseph, which instantly became scene
OF pillage and sacrilege, Affairs were
hurled to the floor and smushed; pic"

Then, while rancorous voices sang
the "Carmngnole," tho chairs were
carried outside, piled up and set on FIRE
in tho center Of the square fronting the
church.
When this stage was reached the
crucifix was pulled down and thrown
into the flames Suddenly the cry was
raised that the statue OF the Virgin had
been forgotten and the crowd returned

When the police entered the church
the anarchists had just set FIRE to the
