Show NEWS OF THE WORLD. NIHILIST LITERATURE. New York, Jan. 27.-Herald's St. Petersburg: A fresh number of the Nihilist journal is being circulated, and sent under envelope to the court, and to ministers and dignitaries, and to regiments of the empire. It is dated December 12th (24th new style.) It was probably printed and introduced from abroad. In its leading article the editor says: The coronation of the Czar, fixed for the 25th of May, will never take place, therefore make no preparations for it. Many things will occur before the 25th of May. Do not throw away your money uselessly; it is simply ridiculous and disgusting. POISONED. Corinth, Ky., Jan. 28.-A family named Roman, living in the outskirts of the town, were poisoned the night before last at supper. It is supposed that arsenic was in the corn bread. Five of the family are lying at the point of death. No investigation. MORMONS AND INDIANS. Washington, Jan. 28-Secretary Kirkwood, referring to rumors that Mormons are inciting Indians in the west, said he had very little faith in the story. While it was undoubtedly true that the Mormons might seek the friendship of the Indians in the event of trouble with the United Sates, it could not be possible the Mormons would attempt to defy the United States government, as an effort of that sort would have a very different result from that which attended the early campaign in Salt Lake. ?? PITTSBURG, Jan. 28.-A young man named Lee, out hunting near West Middlesex, met two lady friends, and without provocation shot twice, wounding both. They managed to reach home. Four of their gentlemen friends found Lee. He made desperate resistance, but finding capture inevitable, blew the top of his head off. All the families are eminently respectable. The motive for the shooting is shrouded in mystery. SMALL POX. Pittsburgh, Jan. 27.-Ten new cases of small pox here and nine in Alleghany to-day. Twenty-seven deaths per 1,000 inhabitants in the city the past year. One thousand five hundred and seventy-eight cases of small pox, and 418 deaths from it. KING KILLER. ??, Jan. 28.-A plot against the life of the King of Greece was discovered. It was to murder him on a journey. |
