French Wine Riots Grow
More Serious.
BURN DOWN MANY BUILDINGS
Rioters Fight From Behind Barri'
cades at Vinay and Succeed
in Holding Back Ad- $50
yancing Troops.

Epernay, France, April 14--Despite
the fact that the department of Marine
is filed with infantrymen and dra-
night at almost every village in the
champagne district, rioting broke out
anew and the fame of anger and ven
geance continues to sweep the grape
growing region.
At Vinay the rioters hastily threw
debris of all sorts, and succeeded in
holding back the advancing troopers
while another group of manifestants,
armed with torches, entered the vast
champagne depot
The mob smashed all the bottles OF
champagne they could find, wrecked
the wine presses and then set fire to
the buildings.
Women were foremost In the work
of destruction, chanting snatches OF
revolutionary airs and urging on the
men. When the troops reached Vinay
the women lay down on the roads and
defied the cavalry to ride over them.
Eventually the troops succeeded in
getting control of the situation and
dispersed the manifestants,
At dawn many places in the wine
growing district showed the horizon
darkened by the smoking ruins of
wine depots burned during the night.
At the same time exploding detonators
summoned additional wine growers to
the different rallying points for the
purpose of resuming their march OF
destruction.
Reinforeements of troops are arriy-
ing at Epernay on every train and i'm
mediately on detraining the soldiers
are dispatched to the centers of activ-
ity, where they are forced to contin-
ually charge and dispense the reas-
sembling manifestants.
The government officials say that
the sacking and burning of property
is being led by criminal elements that
are fiocking into this region from 9th
er districts. The public prosecutor
proceeded to Ay, where confiagration
started by incendiaries threatened for
q time to destroy the entire village,
and made twenty arrests among the
ringleaders of the manifestants.
Altogether five establishments in
Epernay have been practically burned
to the ground after having been pill
LACED. The safes in these establish
ments we're forced. and the furniture
and fittings were piled in heaps In the
streets and set on fire. The firemen
we're powerless, being driven on by
| the rioters.
| All around Epernay the country Is
dotted with blazing cellars and the
whole sky is aglow.
The Revolutionary International
song has been sung everywhere in
the district Utter distrust Of the gov
eminent is general. All strangers are
looked upon as spies. and newspaper
correspondents are made to show their
credentials and establish their iden-
tity.
Among the manifestants several
have been wounded

The silver tea given by the Ladies
AID Society OF the Methodist church

four miles ncrth OF this city, was a
grand success in every respect In
connection with the supper there was
sale Of fancy articles. and altogeth-
or the ladies took In over hundred
dollars. and nearly all Of II was clear.
But OF the tea, which wasn't tea"
at all but great big supper, some OF
the fifty people from Mart nsburg who
partook Of 1t say 1t was the best ever.
However. IT is generally known that
the ladies down in that section OF the
county are fine cocks, and the only OBJ
lection ever offered by the patrons Is
that they serve too much for the
money.
