BEER GLASSES
Were the Weapons Used in a Con.
fict Between the Christian So
cialists and the Social Democrats,
in Austria.

Vienna, November 21.-The hostility
between the Christian Socialists and
the Social Democrats which exists In
all parts Of Austria, and frequently
leads to sharp collisions between the
rival partisans, has resulted in serious
rioting at Gratz, the capital city Of
Syria, and the seat of important cot
ton and wooden manufactures.
While the Christian Socialists were
holding o meeting there to-day, the
Socialist Democrats forced their way
in, broke up the meeting and pelted
the Christian Socialists with beer
glasses. Some of the invaders threw
chairs, and several of the Christian So
cialists were badly hurt. The promo
tiers Of the meeting rushed from the
hall and the disturbance was continued
on the street outside
The police and military were sum-
moned but were stoned by the rioters.
They then charged the mob with fixed
bayonets, killing one person and
wounding many.
Ten of the ring-leaders have been
arrested. Five policemen were badly
hurt during the rioting. Stringent
measures have been taken TO prevent
a recurrence OF the disorders.

continued to grow worse and weaker
until 7:15 this evening, when he passed
away. The Generals death was doubt
less FASTENED by the sad and recent
events in connection with his way gard
daughter, Bettina Girard. The latter, a
complete wreck, was a day or two ago
transferred to private sanitarium
from Bellevue hospital.
Owing to the pleadings of his wife,
who had become reconciled to her
daughter, Gen. Ordway finally con-
sented to the return of the prodigal and
a reunion of the family was arranged
Gen. Ordway's death is attributed by the
attending physicias to jaundice and
pleurisy, which developed from a cold
contracted in Paris.
