SEIZING A CRUCIFIX.
WOMAX CREATES SCENE. CLERGYMAN’S CALMNESS. LONDON, July 27. Rushing out of the crowd, which yesterday was watching an Anglo-Catholic procession in Hyde Park, headed by a surpliced' choir singing hymns, a woman seized the crucifix which an acolyte carried and furiously struggled to wrest it from his grasp.

The clergyman calmly held his assailant off with one hand, and continued to sing until the procession had passed. When a policeman approached the woman decamped.
