Violent Scenes in France.

DESPERATE FIGHTS IN THE KELI-

GIOUS SCHOOLS.

The Paris newspapers publish telegrams frjm Urest giving further details of the dis- r turbances accompanying the closing of the free schools at Donarnenez, Pont Croix, and Andierne.

At the first-named place the inhabitants ha ■ strongly barred and barricaded every approach to the school, and the efforts of the gendarmes to surmount the obstacles led to a terrible melee, in which women were thrown down and their clothes torn, while several priests had their robes dragged off and reduced to rags. Many of the crowd had blood streaming down their faces, and/ hats, caps, sabots, and sticks were strewn? in all directions. At one moment the Police Commissary seriously threatened to blow everything up with dynamite, b~iit was met with the reply," You will blow us up, too." Finally, however, a breach was made in the schoolhouse wall without it being necessary to resort to such extreme measures. The Commissary effected an en trance. . ■..-.. At Point Croix the operations were under the direction of special Commissaries. Num bers of people were crushed by the gen-* darmes' horses. Ouo woman had both arms broken. Several priests were very roughly, handled. At length, maddened by the treatment they were receiving, the mob_ seized M. Violant, one of the Commissaries dragged him from his horse, and threw | him "to the ground. Two priests, however, i intervened, and rescued him from his peril ous position with his face covered with, blood and his uniform in raga. In the end the door of the school was burst open and the building cleared. At Andierne the gendarmes charged, but on their closing with the mob theirhoraes backed", only to' i be urged forward afresh again and again. At last the pressure became so severe that! a strong stone wall ngainst which several hundred people were wedged suddenly' gave way, and fell with a terrible crash. Numbers of people were caught amid the falling masoniy s and their cries added to the uproar. • Meanwhile, gendarmes on foot had surrounded the building, and had been engaged in a similar struggle, in the course cf which both men and women were I knocked down and trampled under foot.- The newspapers add that it was only after several scenes of regular savagery that the; walls were breached and an entrance effect ed. It is reported in Paris that Command-' ant Lerop Ladirie, upon being ordered to expel the Sisters at Donarnenez, refused to; obey, and that he has consequently been placed under arrest in a fortress.

Johannesburg Prices Current.

In view of the prospects of an early start being made with the direct steam service to South Africa the following 1-from the Johan nesburg "Star" of September 13 is of interest at present:—There was a very fine show of vegetables upon the market tables this morning, especially considering Ihe season of the year, also other adverse cir cumstances. Of course, it must be ad mitted tliat the market gardeners and their agents always njak« an effort to have an extra fice display on Saturdays, when com petition amongst the l.uyersis alwayskeen and the biddings move el-arivandal'iind&nt. " Notwithstanding the good display, prices " ruled hii^h, and in some cases extravacant —for example, ihree cauliflowers fetched li s, and so on. Fresh fish was much in evidence upon the various stalls, also colonial turkeys, fowls, fjuinea fowls, hares, rabbits, etc., all at previous rates. In the outside, or produce market, the supplies soeined restricted owing to the unfavourable weather. The samples of potatoes exhibited were much below the usual average. Fowls and turkeys were rather a finer lot. of birds than usual, and they arrive per rail in very fair condition, but as the poultry trade has now developed into rat her a large and regular business from the colonies, the crates are well-made »nd the fowls have fairly ample room, -without damaging their market value in the shape of being presented in a good healthy con dition, as against a draggled-tailed one, Vegetable prices, per lot of three bundles or heads :—Beet, fid to 9d; cabbages, 33 to j 6s ; cauliflowers, 4s fid to 10s; carrots, 4d to 6d; cslery, Is 6d to 2s; horseradish, Is to Is 6d ; lettuce, 6d to 9d; radishes, 3d to id; spinach, Od; turnips 6d to 9d; onions, spring, 4'! to •■'; parsnips, d to 9d; par sley, Is to _s 4d per dozen, } Produce- 34 waggons registered with the market master.
