ANTI-JEWISH RIOTS.
The Blofe Suppressed by the Action of the Military.
Some very bad riots at Presburg have had to be suppressed by the military. The foolish old story was raised about a girl having been decoyed away by a Jew, that her blood might be used for sacrificial purposes, and the house of the man suspected was besieged by a howling mob of 3,000 persons, who smashed all the windows and uttered threats of murder. The customary proposal was then made to go and wreck all the Jews' shops, but the soldiers charged the mob with their bayonets fixed, and after some trouble restored order.
