ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
LONDON, March 14.-All accounts of the
Cars assassination agree as to the follow
ing facts The Gar was returning in a
covered carriage from the Michael Palace
at II A. N. with his brother, the Grand
Duke Michael. His escort consisted o, a
quarter troop Of Cossacks, and several
officers of the household accompanied him
in sleighs. As the carriage was passing
along the banks Of the Ekat Binopky
Canal, Immediately opposite the Imperial
stables, a bomb was thrown by a maj who
was standing behind a knot of pedestrians,
who had stopped to see the Emperor go by.
1t exploded right under the body Of the
carriage, the splinters flying across the
street, but doing no injury beyond tearing
away the back part of the carriage. The
driver, who had drawn up, descended from
his box, and the Cossack escort, which
was a few PAGES in the rear, at once gal
Hoped up. At this time there we're not
more than twenty persons present. The
Gar, on hearing the crash, at once raised
the window, opened the door and jumped
out. While he was drawing his fur cloak
about him a second bomb was thrown from
the knot of lockers on, exploding at his
feet. The smoke of the first explosion was
still hanging about when the second bomb
struck the pavement. A dense cloud en-
veloped the carriage. There was a howl of
pain and anguish from the Cossacks, some
of whom were killed, and more wounded
by the flying splinters, three or four
of the lockers on falling also.
The crash brought a crowd of police, who
were just going on duty at the Imperial
stables. As the smoke lifted the Gear was
seen lying on his back beside the wreck Of
the carriage, his legs torn and shattered,
and blood pouring from CHASTITY wounds
in his thighs. His cloak and wearing ap-
parel were literally torn from his back.
He was deathly pale, and his cries to the
officers Of the household for help were
scarcely audible. Col. Dorjisky, of his
suite, who was badly injured by the second
explosion, which had shattered his sleigh,
raised the Emperor from the ground, and
with the Cossack officers lifted him into
the sleigh and conveyed him to the Winter
Palace. All this did not occupy three
minutes.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg states
that the second assassin was captured yes
terday afternoon. Both said they were
ready TO die at any moment. The first
assassin inquired if the Gar was dead,
ana on the police refusing to answer the
questioner gleefully exclaimed "Ah, 1
know by that that we have succeeded.
Long live the people," The police refuse
to give the names or any particulars rela-
ting to the prisoners, and the reports cur
rent on the streets are mere guess work.
That they are Nihilists is, however, beyond
doubt. Both are young men, and appa-
rently Of good birth and education. When
Colonel Dorjibki seized the first assassin
and asked him his name, he replied
"Roussakoff." The police have arrested
several persons overheard denouncing the
dead Emperor and applauding the murder
ers. As the prisoner was thrown into a
sled and driven off under a strong guard,
Colonel. Dorjibki's sleigh bearing the
wounded Emperor and two or three at
tendants, drove rapidly through the streets
to the Winter Palace, where a mounted mes
senger had previously arrived with the
news.
