Show Mobbing a Paris Newspaper. Paris, October 6. The proprietors of the Gaulois, in order to signalize the Conservative Conserva-tive successes, illuminated the front of their office last evening with the inscription "175 Conservatives elected; vive la France," formed of gas jets, which was conspicuously conspicu-ously displayed in the windows. A crowd soon assembled in front of the building and threw stones at the windows. The jpolice were unable to disperse the mob. Editor Meyer made an attempt to leave the building; build-ing; he was warned by the Commissary of Police to abandon the idea of leaving, but he persisted and was arrested. The staff of the Ooulois then made a sortie and rescued Meyer, who was severely bruised in the scuffle. Meanwhile, the crowd increased in-creased and the excitement became intense. The police were re-enforced and the prefect of polioe ordered them to clear the streets. After great efforts the police succeeded in dispersing the mob. During the melee two revolvers were fired at the windows of the Gaulois office. |
