HUNGER AND CRIME.

VIENNA, March There has of late
been rapid and alarming increase in
the number of crimes committed in this
city. many acts of violence and numbers of
robberies being reported to the police
daily. Nearly all these breaches OF the
law are found upon investigation to be
due to the widespread distress which is
prevailing here. Among the most noted
cases recently brought to the attention of
the police was where the body of man
was found on Weinberg gasse. His skull
was smashed and the body stripped. An
other case is where man made desper-
ate attempt to commit double murder
and then ended his own lie. Anton Wild
man, workman out of employment, shot
and dangerously wounded his wife and
son-in-law, and, turning the weapon on
himself. blew out his brains. The woman
will probably die. In addition TO the
many acts of violence which have taken
place, there has been "A large number of
burglaries committed. These are attribu-
ted to people who have been driven des-
perate by the want of food and take these
means to obtain funds and necessaries
To such an extent has crime spread that
the law-abiding citizens of the city have
become greatly alarmed for the safety of
person and property

MRS. BLAME. LR.

CHICAGO. March 3-Some pungent ut.
terances were given voice here today by
Mrs. Mary Neyins Blaine in relation to
the letter she wrote TO Secretary Blaine.
She was enroute to New York, accompa-
MED by her little son James g., Jr. Re
garding her letter Mrs. Blaine said
Il have allowed Mr.. Blaine ten days in
which to tell the whole truth about the
treatment given me by his family, and 70
retract the statement that it was and not
his sou who had done the courtlng before
my marriage. Mr.. Blaine gave the public
garbled extracts from my letters to his
son. These convey untruthful and unjust
ideas respecting me. If Mr.. Blaine does
not, within ten days, publish the
full text Of my letters I will
give TO the public the letters which his
son wrote 20 me before our marriage, and
which will prove conclusively VINO it WAS
that was the wOOer Great as Secretary
Blaine Is. he cannot and will not be al
lowed TO asperse my character with i'm
punity and without a rejoinder on my
part. He set up his love for his grandson
as an excuse for the attempt to besmirch
me. l love that child as my son quite as
much as Mr.. Blaine can love him as a
grandson, and for that reason It is my
duty to see that his mother does not rest
under false charge unanswered"
