A PAPAL INTERDICT.
A CITY LAID UNDER THE BAN
United Press Association —Copyright (Received October 5, 10.10 p.m.) ROME, October 5.
The Pope has issued a universal interdict against the Venetian city of Adria and the surrounding country, in consequence of a mob of several thousand fanatical Catholics nearly stoning Bishop Boggiani to death. All public sacraments, including matrimony, are forbidden.
[Adria is a.town of Northern Italy, between the Po and Adige, and is one of the oldest cities in Europe, having been founded by the Etruscans. So late as the 12th century, A.D., it was a flourishing harbor on the Adriatic Sea, to which it gave its name; but it has been gradually separated from the sea, from which it is now 14 miles distant. It still retains several interesting remains of Etruscan and Roman, antiquity, with a fine cathedral. The population is about 8000.]
