the left arm, and that the assassin had been arrested, and,
although the amount was dot implicitly believed, the funds
went down 4to 1 percent. In the evening the Court

type, and, as the public considered that this official paper
had some peculiar information, the report was telegraphed
to Vienna and Berlin, and influenced those exchanges.',
The affair has since been discovered to have originated in a
trick practised on the porter of the Commercial Society of

maga= to it, without inquiry whence it proceeded.
