An Emperor's Narrow Escape.

VIENNA, Sept. 29.-The artillery practice
yesterday at which Emperor Francis Joseph
narrowly escaped being shot took place at
the Steipfeld ranges. The Emperor had
ordered that the bugle sound the signal to
cease firing in order that hn might inspect
the target The officer in command of q
battery located thousand yards away did
not bear the signal and as it was impossible
for him to see the Emperor az be advanced,
owing to depression in the ground, the
battery again fired. Fortunately the EN-.
peror and his suite were out of the line of
fra and consequently were not hurt. Or
derlies rushed to the battery and prevent
ed any further firing.
