Further Particulars.
BERLIN, June 3.-A strong escort
Of mounted police barely suf1iced
to protect Nobelgen from the mob
when going to the hospital There
was q rumor current that the
assassin's name was Ludwig, and
that he was a religious fanatic.
This, however, seems based on the
fact that a file Of the Uitramontane
journal, GeyDaa,aia, was found in his
room. -
Nobelgen confessed that he cher-
ished the lnurcerous design for
eight days, because he considered
that the Emperor's removal would
be a public benefit. He declared
that he favored Socialism, and had
attended SociaIistc meetings.
Some accounts say that Nobelgen
is supposed to be dying. It is
known that n few days ago Nobel
gen unsuccessfully applied for gov
eminent employment.
An official bulletin, issued from
the Palace at half past 8 o'clock
this morning, reports that tho EN-
peror passed a quiet night. The
pain from his wounds has been
alleviated, and the physicians con-
slider his condition satisfactory.
