Trim, County Meath, Ireland, Sept. 27. —Because of the burning of the police barracks here yesterday morning and the wounding of Chief Constable White, a number of armed men descended on the town last night and burned buildings, attacked the residénces of Sinn Feiners and indulged in indiscriminate shooting. Several casualties are reported. The reprisals are alleged to be the work of the “black an tan” policc. The regular.police are taking steps to prevent further damages. During the reprisals some thirty houses were burned and the fires were still blazing at noon today. Among the premjses destroyed were, a mineral water factory which was a prin- cipal industry, and the market house. Practically all the houses on both sides || of the chief- thoroughfare were set on fire.
