They all of them bore upon the left breast the badge of the Sacred Heart, and upon the day before their departure Archbishop Manning preached an appropriate sermon to them.

In the Via Sahta-Croce existed a house ' belonging to the church of that name, and 'which had remained empty for a long time, the.last tenant having left, refusing to pay any rent, as it was insecure. The, cure, Father Biotti, being unwilling to .spend money on the place, and desiring to turn it to account, opened it as a school for. the religious instruction of young girla. On the evening of August 17, about 100 of theße, of from 15 to 18 years of age, were assembled on the first and second storeys. All at once the floors way, and the unfortunate pupils fell JTinaheap, mingled with the beams and .G rubbish. Six were taken out dead and some, twenty more seriously injured. The priest, to, whose cupidity the accident is , attributed, immediately took to flight, but a warrant for his arrest has been issued.
