AN EMPEROR IN PERIL.
An Alleged Attempt to Blow Up Francis
Joseph OF Austria with Dynamite.


Joseph OF Austria with Dynamite.
VIENNA, Oct l.-Empcror Francis
Joseph arrived in safety at Reichen-
berg. near Prague, at s a. m, and
with his advent the news of
an attempt upon the life of the
imperial traveller spread all over
Austria The general opinion is that
the startling news circulated is either
untrue or else exaggerated to consid-
erable extent, but it has caused great
sensation in spite of the doubts thrown
upon the statement The story in brief
is about as follows:
During the night, it appears, an at
tempt was made with dyna-
mite bomb to blow up the rail-
road bridge at Rosenthal, suburb
of Reichenb berg. This outrage is said
to have occurred shortly before the
emperor's train was to pass over
the bridge. Some railroad watchman,
it is said, saw the would-be assassins
as they were upon the point of attach
ing the bomb to the bridge structure,
and by appearing upon the scene frus.
trated their design.
The railroad officials who have circu-
lated this alarming story have not as
yet explained whether the men sup
posed to have been engaged in this out
rage intended to destroy Rosenthal
bridge as the imperial train was ap.
preaching it or whether it was the
alleged assassins' desire to wait until
the emperor's train was upon the
bridge.

he filled all these positions with
