MONKS FORTIFY THE MoNAsTERIEs.
Disturbances more or less serious were
reported yesterday from many sections
of France in connection with the dis
posal of the congregations. AT st.
Etienne the Capuchins fortified them
selves within their convent, and at
Havre the Dominicans and Franciscans
closed the means of entrance to their
residences and compelled the authorities
to bring locksmiths to force the doors or
have the police scale the walls. AT
Rodez the Capuchins headed a process
sion formed of an enormous crowd OF
persons. who made a demonstration
against the authorities, and at Moulins
the Redemptorists refused to admit the
police to their convent and declared
they had resolved to yield only to force.
Crowds made demonstrations at differ
ent points in Brittany. A boisterous
crowd at Nantes surrounded the court
house where the trial of the Marquise
de Dion took place, as result of dis
turbances Saturday afternoon during
which mounted gendarmes charged and
scattered a crowd numbering about
{, 1000 persons and the police made %
arrests. The Marquis was among those
who were taken into custody. He
pleaded the brutality of the police in his
defense and declared he had not pro-
voked the trouble. The court, how
ever, found the Marquis guilty and SEN
fenced him to three days imprisonment.
The police of Paris and elsewhere are
organizing for decisive measures.

NEGRO BOY LYNCHED.

An unknown negro, aged about II
wears, was Iynched by a mob of angry
farmers near the village of Santa Fe'
Illinois, yesterday afternoon, for attempt
ing to assault the 10-year-old daughter
oAFarmer Branson Davis, and this was
followed by general onslaught upon a
colony of negroes living in tents who
were engaged in bridge construction
work. The tents we're burned and many
negroes were shot, but so far as known
none was killed. Hundreds OF shots
were exchanged, but no whites were hurt.
Branson Davis lives half a mile east OF
Santa Fe, small village near Thebes.
While his 10-year-old daughter was in
the barnyard yesterday the negro ac-
costed her. She ran, but he seized her
and her screams Brought her mother to
the rescue. The negro fled. Officers
were notified and were soon in pursuit.
News of the assault speedily spread
among the neighboring farmers and re-
suited in a mob starting in search
of the assailant. The negro mean
while had been captured by officers
and was being carried to Santa he,
when the mob of farmers was met. a
fight followed, during which the farm
ers secured the negroes. He confessed
to the crime, but begged for mercy.
Without word the mob started with
the prisoner toward the new bridge be-
ing constructed across the Mississippi,
where he was hanged to an oak tree
without ceremony or delay. After the
body had dangled in the air a few mo-
ments it was i lded with bullets. The
officers endeavored to disperse the mob,
but their efforts were fruitless. A rush
was made for colony of several hundred
negroes employed on bridge construction
work and living in tents near the bridge.
The negroes saw the mob coming and
opened fire. A fustilade followed, and
tie whites fired with effect, as many ofthe
negroes we're shot down. None OF the
mob was injured, and it is not known
how seriously the negroes were wounded.
The mob pressed forward, notwithstand-
ing the steady fire, until The negroes
turned and fled toward nearby wood,
taking their wounded with them. The
mob then fell upon the tents and burned
them. After accomplishing a general
work of destruction the mob dispersed.
