EKECUTiON OF ASSASSINS.
ANTI-MILITARIST DEMONSTRATION. (Received Last Night, 10.20 o'clock.) PARIS, August 10. Two sailors were executed on the Toulon rifle range for stabbing a comrade forty-three times at Agacico in January and stealing three-halfpence. The murderers were unchained, tied to stakes, and their eyes bandaged, in the presence of thousands of people. It required three thousand soldiers and sailors to keep the crowd in order. When the order to fire was given, the anti-militarists in the crowd attempted a demonstration, but the gendarmes intervened. Violent scuffles followed.
