cincts of the Catholic chapel grounds,
and in the same neighborhood several
Catholic residents had their houses
wrecked. No arrests have been made.

quiries, was stormed with all sorts of
obscene epithets. Strong bodies of con-
stabulary are posted along the route

and cries of mo pope" ITO hell with
the pope" resounded on all sides. Songs
with the refrain, Kick the pope" were
INDUCED in freely, the police escorting
the performers, who, for the most
part, were Intoxicated and behaving
with the utmost violence On their
way through the thoroughfare some of
the rowdies seized handcarts and such
and whirled or trundled them
about.
On the bridge they stopped and
selzed possession of a wagon, owned
by local gentleman. and refused to
quit it. The terrified driver an old
stables declined to assist him and the
rowdy occupants set up a round of
Ieering and obscene epithets. A city
magistrate passing that way called on
The police by his authority to act. and
they then induced the rowdies to get
out and go on to their train. At the
'ailway station they fought fiercely
among themselves, using bottles as
weapons. Some women were injured.
