A NIHLIST'S ESCAPE.
Remarkable Adventure OF Russian Revo-
lutionist.

The London Examiner in recent is

capped from the citidel of wilma a few
days ago, was no ordinary conspiritor
When only IL he joined the revolution.
airy association, although little is known
of his operations until his rival at Odes-
so in 1877. He then went by the name
Matyaef, and acted as Deputy Chief to
Capt. Tchubarof, the Nihiist leader, who
was hanged at Odessa few weeks ago.
One Of his early escapandes was an at
tempt upon the life of Goronovitch, the
spy, which resulted in the recovery OF
the wretched yictim-who was beaten
and then drenched with vitrol-and a
confession that led to the arrest Of 800
revolutionists. Fomin escaped, being
included in this number, and shortly
afterward was sent by his captain to
Kharkoff to release the conspiritor VOL
noralsky. Assisted by several members
Of the revolutionary league, Fomin es-
tablished an ambush outside the town,
and when the Cossack convoy passed by
with the prisoner, the Nihlists poured
several volleys into them. Some of the
gendarmes fell dead, others set spurs to
their horses and darted back to Khar-
koH for assistance, and Vionoralsky,
disguised in the clothing of one of the
victims, rode off with the Kharkoff
Nihilists, and effected his escape. Fomin
alone returned to Kharkotf, and was ar
rested while in the act of taking a re-
turn ticket 10 Odessa. After his incar-
ceration in the kharkotf prison series
of audacious attempts were made to OBJ
tain release. A band Of Nihilists came
TO succor him from Kieii, and two of
them, dressed as gendarmes, presented
themselves at the door of the Jail with
an order TO convey him TO the presence
of the Governor. The chief warder was
on the point of removing Fomin from
the cell, when, by curious coincidence,
two real gendarmes arrived with genuine
order, and exposed the plot. The Mill
lists then hired a house opposite the
prison, and began burrowing under the
road 10 Fomin's cell. This was discov-
cred during the mending Of drain, and
the cxcavators had to fly to escape ar
rest. Fomin himself now tried TO break
out Of prison, and, with the aid Of some
20 criminals who shared room with
himself, he dug out the inside Of the
chimney and climbed up the channel to
the roof. Six of his companions escaped
with him, but the entire party was re-
captured a few miles from KharkoG
Last March Fomin was put on trial, and
the day that the order was signed sum-
monIng the court-martial, the Governor
rincc Krapotkin, out Of revenge, was
assassinated. The trial ended in the
condemnation of Fomin to the mines of
Siberia, for lite, but, as it was imagined
that the careless trans-Ural officers
would not keep him in safe custody. he
was removed to perpetual Imprisonment
in the citadel at wilma. From this con-
ilnement he has now successfully es-
capped, and by this time has probably
joined the Nihilist refugees in Switzer-
land.

EUROPEAN ARMIES.
Military strength of Various Continental
Countries

The recent newspaper war between
Germany and Russia have given rise TO
many speculations con cerning the Of
fensire and defensive power of several
European States, some particulars res
pecting various armies which have been
furnished TO me on GOOD authority may
be read with interest at this moment.
To begin with Germany, the reorganiza-
ton of that army was fully carried out
in 1866, since which time the annual re-
cruiting has produced 100000 men.
After making due deductions for the
dead, sick, etc., the strength of the Ger
man army may now be put at l,250,000
men of the line, and the reserves and
the first landwehr, all of which are thor
oughly drilled and ready TO enter the
field at any moment. These men are of
various ages, from twenty TO thirty-two
years. Besides these. the German gov
ernment can call out the second land
wehr and the landstrum, which include
the drilled soldiers from thirty-two to
fifty years Of age. These would, after
making due deduction, number 100000
men. And these 2,550,000 soldiers can
be marched in twcnty-four hours after
their being called out, as the quarter
masters arrangements are made in time
of peace to enable this to be done. From
this total must be deducted 100000 for
the fortresscs, 10000 for the coasts and
against Denmark, and 100000 for depots;
so that ., 100000 men are available for
real warflr and the last of whom would
only require a fortnight at the most to
be on the frontiers. The border fortiti-
cations on the French side are complete
" finished and fully armed. They are
furnished with large stores Of provisions,
and communicate with the interior of
the country by means of the very best
railways.
France has, Of course, good fortresses
also on the German frontier, and these
are strengthened by smaller barricading
forts, but in addition TO the fact that
they will not be completed and in thor
ough working order before 1881, Ger
many has the advantage Of convex
frontier, which would facilitate concen-
trio attacks, such ~ are regarded by the
military authorities as most successful
The strength Of the French army is, on
paper, 100000 men, but Sir Garnet
VOL e'v, as well as other authorities,
calcl lat, it as only about 100000,
among whom are more than 800 600 un-
drilled men. Besides this the state of
the territorial army and the Garde Mo
bile is SO doubtful that France is consid-
cred to have ready for the beginning of
a war not more than 100000, of whom
100000 mus, be deducted for garnsons,
etc, leaving 100000 really available for
action. Russia's force, although given
on paper at 100000 men, cannot, as
was explained at the beginning Of the
recent dispute, exceed 100000 men on
the German frontier.

44lUiN Post Steaks the Affections Of MrS.
Clark.
The sensation yesterday was the rumor
that spread like a bad odot over tho whole
city that an elopement had taken place: It
appears that some time since d persuasive
and insinuating gentleman named Alvin
Post came from Milwaukee to this city for
the purpose of selling Masonic goods. He was
not long in making the acquaintance of Mrs.
Clark on Eighth street. The husband of the
lady was often absent on protraoted trips, he
In the. absence of the husband bland and
insinuating Alvin initiated the fair landlady
into the mysteries Of free-wel1 mot Masonry
although grips and signs we're used. The
servant girl being "hy'' OF which was going
on 1t is said communicated with the unsus-
pecting husband and it is stated that he sud
denly returned and found thesuave and gal
liant peddler of Masonic regalia, regaling
himself with his apt pupil and working the
third degree. The fourth degree was
worked yesterday when Mrs. Clark aud Alvin
slid the greasy plank out of town. The
sixth will probably be worked in the divorce
court. Mrs. Clark has no children but Alvin
Post has several in Milwaukee, where he loft
a careworn wife to provide for them. It is
denied by some that Clark returned home
and caught the intruder in his dove cot !;
these say that up to the present time he
knows nothing about it. This is not the
only scandal of an infamous nature likely to
come to light. There is another with which
busy tongues are already burdened, and
when certain Lothario returns to the city
the shameful denouement will be made.
