The Reign Of Terror in st. Petersburg.
A feeling of gloom prevails. The rigorous
police regulations respecting the watching
of houses and visits and searches by plight,
are to be made still more stringent After
nine O'Clock in the evening nobody will be
at liberty to show himself in the street
without certificate upon which must be
written and attested the place from which
the bearer comes and to whence he is going.
Gen. Gourko, the governor general, planned
this ordinance. Soon it will not be neces.
sary to light candle before half.past nine
O'clock, yet at nine everybody must be in
doors and after ten O'Clock, as in barracks,
every light must be out. Notwithstanding
all this the insecurity in St. Petersburg in
cresses every day. Grenades are exploded
in the streets. The intention of the
Nihilists is believed to be to keep the police
in state OF constant excitement and tire
them out or lull them to sleep with the idea
that the danger has been exaggerated.

Last December, Mrs. Ada Roberts fled a

prominent boot aud shoe firm at Chicago,
charging Weber with seduction, and that
he had promised to pay her per cent. en-
five thousand dollars during his life, on con-
dition that she would support their son and
keep silence; that Edmund Jsssun, his
lawyer, was appointed trustee of the fund,
but that Weber had unaccountably slipped
these payments. Weber filed answer last
month alleging that blackmail had been
practiced, and confessing that certain sums
had been extorted from him, but that the
woman having failed to keep silence, he
had stopped payments. On the afternoon
