The Riots in Vienna: Hussars chasing mob in the Lerchenfelder-Strasse, 1890. 'Serious disturbances took place in Vienna, on April 8, in connection with a mass meeting of the men on strike in the Schmelz suburb, joined by others making holiday, on the Parade Ground. The police, who dispersed the meeting, were stoned by the mob, and many arrests were made. In the evening, another meeting, attended by eight thousand men, was held in the suburb of Neu-Lerchenfeld, which adjoins Schmelz. The proceedings, which were of a disorderly character, ended in a serious riot. The mob, after attacking and demolishing the guard-room of the police and wounding the official on duty, went to a spirit-shop, which they plundered and set on fire. They next proceeded to plunder a number of Jewish shops. As the police were powerless to quell the riot, the troops were called out. The people, however, still refused to disperse, and the soldiers were ordered to fire several volleys with blank cartridge. Two squadrons of cavalry and a battalion of infantry appeared on the scene about eight o'clock and dispersed the rioters. Thirty-seven arrests were made by the police, some of whom were injured by stones. Many civilians were also wounded'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
