Opening of a Railroad.

CINCINNATI. Feb. 23.-Through business on the Southern railroad has at last begun, and the important event was duly celebrated to- day. This being Washington's birthday ad- ditional interest was lent to the occasion, and a better time could not have been selected for celebrating the great local event. There was a street parade ringing of bells and the firing of one hundred guns. A detachment of police and the First regiment and band met the Fifth Ohio bat tery at Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton depot and escorted them through number of streets to Broadway, where the firing took place.

Distracted RuSsfa-Terrible Threat of
 the NihilIsts-AccOunt of the ExpIo-
 sion by an Eye-Witness-AnOLher
 Person Implicated.
 LONDON, Feb. 23.-A St. Petersburg dis patch to the Daily Telegraph says: General Gourko, Governor General of St. Petersburg i; General Drentelm, Chief of Imperial Police, and General zourof, Prefect of the Police of St. Petersburg, have received notices from Nihilist committee informing them that they need not trouble themselves to make arrange ments for illumination on the occasion of the Czar's anniversary, as the revolutionists are preparing for such an illumination as has not been seen since Nero burned Rome.
 A part of letter from Prince Alexander of Resse to his wife, dated St. Petersburg. Feb ruary IT, and published here, says: q was received at the station by all the sons of the Emperor, and by Prince Alexander of Bull garia (the writer's own son), and was thence conducted to the Winter Palace. The En- peror awaited me at the staircase. We were proceeding through the large corridor to His Majesty's apartments, when suddenly 8 fearful detonation was heard, the floor ing was raised as by an earth quake, the gas extinguished, and we were left in total darkness. At the same time horrible dust and smell of gunpowder or dynamite filled the corridor. Some one shouted to us that the chandelier had fallen down in the saloon where the table was laid for dinner. I hastened thither with the Czarewitch and the Grand Duke Vladimer, while Count Adlerberg, in doubt as to what might happen, held back the Emperor. We found all the windows broken and the walls in ruins. The dinner had been delayed half an hour for my arrival, and it was owing to this circumstance that the imperial family had not yet assembled in the dining hall.'
 The Official Messenger of St. Petersburg states that the official inquiry now proceeding regarding the cause of the recent explosion in the Winter Palace has developed evidence inculpating person, who, while repairs were being made in the palace, passed himself off as one of the workmen, and was thereby ena- bled to lay the mine and prepare the explo- sives intended to destroy the Czar. It is also supposed that this person was connected in the scheme with several of those who had been placed under arrest few days previous to the explosion. The investigation is still in progress, and further arrests of suspected i'm plicated persons are expected.
 The Nihilists proclaim their intention to set fire to St. Petersburg March 3.
 Rumor now distinctly duplicates Grand Duke Nicholas with complicity in the late ex- plosion. Many arrests have been made, in- cIudipg 8 number of students.
 It is rumored that the Czar will close the University of St. Petersburg. Minor explo- sions and outrages are reported throughout St. pnfarsburU

 NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-The situation in the strikes at Steinways', Herrmaan's and other places remains substantially the same as last night. The workmen gather at their head quarters, where they remain most of the day talking of their wrongs and what they term the grasping greediness of their employers. Thus far both employers and em- ployes have not abated their determination not to yield, and hence any compromise is out of the question for the present. The employers say that they are perfectly willing to pay higher wages, but they want to do it in their own way and not be dictated to by their men, or rather the unions behind them.
