AUSTRIAN FIREBUGs.
Incendiary Fires Break Out With Frequency
in Vienna.

Incendtary Fires Break Out With Frequency
in Vienna.
Since the fire in the Ringstrasse in Vienna
on Thursday night. the fifth of the
series of incendiary fires that had oc-
Cured in Vienna within a week, the
fremen have been kept busy responding
to alarms in various parts of the city.
Extraordinary vigilance has been observed and
has resulted in the fires being discovered in
their incipiency and extinguished before
any material damage was done. All
these fires gave evidence Of being Of
incendiary origin, and no doubt is
entertained that they were the work of anarch-
lists or extreme socialists. between whom it
would De hard to distinguish difference. The
general feehng OF uneasiness and insecurity
continues to grow and great number Of the
residents OF the city bave employed private
watchmen to guard their property against
attempts to fire it.
Many people, among whom are some police
ohclais, beleve that the incendiarism is not
SO much for the purpose of causing terror
among the upholders Of lawsas it is for the
purposes OF robbery during the excite
meht attending the fires. The police at every
hre, no matter how slight, attend in force, and
close watch is kept upon all the near by build
lngs to prevent thieves from robbing them.
Vienna is not the only place that is in a state
OF excitement because Of incendiary fires. At
Lionfelden, in Upper Austria. there have been
several fires Of this kind within the past few
days and the people are very indignant. 1t
will go hard with the incendiaries If they are
captured
