_Grand Duke Serg,ius, uncle and. bro-
ther-in-law of the Czar., and. the
most reactionary member of the
Grand Du -cal cabal, was assassinated
on Friday last while driving in Moe -
cow. A bomb was the weapon, and
the Grand Duke was shockingly
mangled, this head iaeing blown to
pieces. The Grand Diflee entered.
bis carriage at the main eotranceof
the Nicholas Palace, intending to
drire to a private bath in a house
which. he occupied when he was
Gorernor4Genera.1, It was the first
time in eeveraf weeks that he had
driven u,aacco.mpanied by the 'Grand
Duchess, who has always been pop-
utar with an classes. The carriage,
which was a closed one, was driven
up the -wide roadway which opens on
the steand square. On the route
the Imperial carriage was overlak-
en and passed by another vehfclet
drawn by a single horse. It was
driven at a rapid rate. When thasi
vehicle had :passed a few yards a
bomb was flung at the Grand Duke's
carriage by a man who seemed to
be about thirty years old. He was
clean shaven, and wore the holiday
clethes of a respectable workman.
He had then been concealed
by the tunnel formed by the tower
of the Nikolsky Gate, but ae the IDai-
riages appeared at the far end of
the long square formed by the arsen-
al- and law couran, he stepped boldly'
forward and flung the boanb.
The force of the explosionwas
tereific. Sergius was killed instant-
ly.. Tbe whole of his body above a
line drawne from the right shoulder
to the left igroin was reduced to h
mere pulp of flesh, and the bead
was, b.lown to -atoms. The boiri of
the oarriage was shattered . i,nto
sphinters, but Ithe'driveris box was
left intact. The iterritied horsee
swung round end darter' franticale
ly aeroas. the square. Every window
was smashed in the buildengs within '
a radius tif two hundred yards. A
policeman and a watchman- were
the only eye erTtnesses of the crime
but the noise a !the eXplcrSion '
brought ethers hurriedly to the
spot, and the murderer, who seems
to have made no effort 'to escape,
was promptlyrarreSted. One account
says he was stienned by the explo-
aim., He wee stightly wounded,and
was bleeding flnam the head and
hands. Nevertheless hp had titrength
enoruagh to sh'out doudlY all the way
to the police station; "ereedom 1 .

The fragments of the Grand Duke's
body were collected and placed in a
sheet with as much acceney as pos-
sible and born close by.
A late despatch from St. Petiersa
burg says: Oppression like the
:shadow of doom seems to be nan.,g,intg.
ovei the Russian capital. Bells are
tolling, and the people in the streets
are awestruck at yesterday's bloody
