TERROR IN BERLIN.
Rlotous Mobs In the Streets Dispersed by
the Police.

the Police.
BERLIN, Feb. 27.-Conflicts between
the police and a mob of 5000 workmen
continued in the Rosenthaler strasse
until 10 o'clock Friday night The POI
lice attacked the rioters with their
sabers, striking them with the fiat side
of the weapons The mob was at
length routed and dispersed into the
side streets, where scattered bands be-
gan the work of looting the shops of
butchers and bakers
1t was remarked Friday that the po-
lice were less selt-controlled than they
were Thursday. They attacked the
mobs in more violent manner and
did not scruple TO use the edge OF their
sabers in putting their opponents to
rout The result of this is that the
number OF persons wounded in the va
rious conflicts Friday is much larger
than on Thursday.
A strong force of police are guard
ing the palace and patrolling the
streets, and every precaution is being
taken to meet with further outbreaks
from the rioters. The press of all
shades of politics appeals to the public
TO remain indoors. The fact that
many innocent persons were injured
in the melees is likely to lead to the
exercise of more discretion on the part
of the police.

Terrible Fate of = Handsome Young
Woman In Austria

Woman In Austria
VIENNA, Feb. 27.-The details of
most horrible story have been received
in this city telling of a fendish act
committed, it is alleged, to avenge an
other terrible crime. A band of
masked men, whose features were
completely concealed, collected dur
ing the night in the small village of
Mimi, in the province of Bukowina.
They went TO the house of a handsome
young woman named Mary Lep-
pers, forced their way into
bedroom occupied by the woman
and bound her securely with cords.
They then poured a large quantity
of petroleum over her, thoroughly sat
urating her clothes with the fluid. A
match was then applied To the oil
soaked garments and in an instant the
unfortunate woman was enveloped in
flames
The poor victims shrieks and cries
were blood-curdling, but the terrible
agony suffered by the woman as she
was roasted to death had little effect
in arousing pity from her assail-
ants, who watched the woman's
cremation. The band stood gaz-
ing on this horrible spectacle until the
woman's convulsive struggles had
ceased. Not one of them stirred from
the spot until nothing remained of the
woman's body but black and distort-
ed mass. The murderers then left the
place as secretly as they had arrived.
The awful affair has caused much
excitement among the people in the
vicinity. The motive assigned for the
outrage is that the woman was sus-
pected of having murdered her hus-
band, and it is thought that those who
took part in the burning of the woman
were friends of the dead man
