BRUTAL MURDERS IN VIENNA.  VIENNA, Monday.—On the very day when Schenk, the man a-cused rif the murder of lour women, was brought here in custody, another deed of robbery and slaughter was perpet red in the Vienna suburb of Marini:tiff, which for daring and savage atrocity will scarcely find a parallel. At the c entr of an open square, before a church, in a rnucbfrequentd locality of that district, is the exchange oMe of Herr Eieeit, at 5 33 p.m., the gas being lit, two men, one tall, fair, and burly, the other dark and of smaller size. 'attired the allots and asked the value of roubles. Herr Eu ert named the current price, on which one of the strangers put his hand into his aide pocket as if be were about to take out his purse. Herr Eisert looked a`. him, and the man suddenly threw a handful of dust and sand into his face, which blinded him. He cried ' Robbers' and ran ti a glass door, leading to a smaller room, where an old Frenchwoman. nearly 80 years of age. was giving lessons in French to his young sons. One of the men rushed after him and caught him when he had passed thr meta the door, and reached the err slice into the court-yard. Here the robber struck him with a hemmi r, first on the temple and then on the skull. The victim, whose left eye was destroyed, after vain cries of • Murder,' fell down. The villain left him groaning on the ronea, and hastened Erik to to sm .11 mom, locking the door. Here he struck like a madmen at the children and the old woman. One little boy of nine received • blow on the head which shattered his skull, and befell down dead. The other, an elder boy, was also struck, and his injuries may prove fatal, but he afterwards succeeded in unf eaten. ing the door and tottering out to his unfoi t mate father. The old teacher suffers from the effects of a blow on the forehead, which stunned her for a time. The moneychanger had a short time before sent a domestic servant to the cellar for a chest in which ti send away some candied fruit. On returning she first tried to help her maater, who mui tared ' The pocket-book,' and felt about, leaving the marks of his blood.atatned fingers on the wall. She wee not strong enough to raise him, and she called the commissionaira from outside. At the same time the manager of a neighbouring business and a man in the employment of Herr Elute; earns in. They saw what had been done, and through the glass door could perceive the two rubbers. One of them had packei up the gold and silver c iin and bank notes. while the othi r had t ,rn out some sheets from the books,, no doubt t destroy the evidence as to the number of the notes. The new comers tried to get in, hut the door was locked, and the murierers escaped through the mein entrance. A workman, while passing the Exchange Office, saw a man hasten forth, and with his hat drawn down run t mar& the end of the suburb, but suspecting nothing wrong, he proceeded on his way. After cards, on entering a neighbmring coffee-house, he heard of three fearful crimes, and at once went to describe what he had observed to the police. Both the father and his elder POO are alive, and are better. A blow on the head has laid bare the father's brain, and hole not able, even if he were allowed, to give a complete and coherent account of ' what eccurred. 2 000 fl nine in notes and some smaller sums in coin were taken. The thieves had had not time ' to try the safe, and were satiefied with rubbing the  Counter. It lite been disclosed that Schenk. the wholesale murderer of servant girls. has been guilty of at least Rix mantra at. orioles. and that his trot ter and a hlaelcsmith. called Sthloararek, were his aTcomplices. Ptpular feeling is very much excited against the abandoned l'uflisn, and it is ',Alva that more missing women would be found to have met a lire fate at hie hands.
