The Nihilistz-TheIr Plans Ferreted Out
 by the Government.
 ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 22.-Reports that have found their way to the foreign press lately as to the doings of the Nihilists are for the most part altogether false or gross exag- gerations. That the Nihilists are still at work is unhappily too true but they are working under very great difficulties and have not recovered from the severe blow dealt them by the arrest of many of their most determined agents after the catastrophe of March first, and nearly all that has been said lately as to plots of assassination, incen- diarism, &c., is a tissue of falsehoods. Ac- cording to rumor arr ests have been made wholesale during the past month, as many as seven hundred in one day, but as matter of fact the number of captures was insignificant. Recently, however, the police took into cus- tody four individuals whom they had been following for some time past in hopes of lay ing hands on their accomplices. Finding that their footsteps were dogged the male prisoners, of whom there are three, turned upon the detectives and attacked them, but with the helpsof the ubiquitous Tharniks, they were soon arrested. The police then went to their lodgings in Mogiloffsky street, where they captured a woman who attempted to defend herself with dagger, and in one apartment they found printing press with various concomitants, revolutionary procla- nations revolvers, false passports, &c. Of this not word has yet been published here and natural consequence it is going about town Ill variety Of shapes one more exaggerated than another

Possible Emtgrant From New Haven.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-For few weeks the citizens of West Hoboken and Union Hill have heard frequent complaining from young women who are employed in the silk fac tories along the western edge of the Palisades of mysterious being that has chased them on the Weavertown road at West Hoboken. Last Thursday night lilly Brown and Phoebe Kerrigan were chased, and the mystery, as it is called, got so close to Miss Brown that it laid hold of her cloak. When the girls reached home they related their adventures, and Officers Ludlow, Francois, Hurber and Stillwell, of the West Hoboken police force, watched all night, but failed to get glimpse of the mystery. On the next day purse of $50 was made up by some citizens to the person who should capture the mystery. That night, while number of girls were go- ing homo from Givanand's silk factory, along the Weavertown road, they encountered it.
 By dint of sharp running they escaped it's clutches The police were again notified. About 9 o'clock they espied an object emerg- ing from Floral Park lane. Officer Francois gave chase, but failed to catch up with it.

Tine Trial of the Ashland Murderers.
 CATLETTsBURG, Jan. 22.-The afternoon session of the court was principally taken up by the prosecution in the impeachment of the evidence given by the prisoners from Maysville, Ky. The dispositions taken by the defence were greatly discredited, the prosecution introducing testimony that se- riously lessened their value Craft was brought in by the defence and offered as witness but the prosecution decidedly ob- iected. It was Crafts first appearance in court since he was arraigned. The military were called out last night at late hour by false alarm. Since the lynching at Ironton,a few miles north of this place, the striotest watch has been kept over the prisoners here. The testimony thus far is considered to point strongly to NeaPs guilt, and next Monday promises to be a day of high excitement. Mrs. Elliott, whose husband was Judge of the Kentucky Court of Appeals and was shot by Tom Buford at Frankfort, is here in opposition to the troops and in favor of the people handling the prisoners in accordance with their own desires.

Shot Dead by Policenlan-TraSi gle End
 of n Family Quarrel.
 BOSTON, Jan. 22.-W. H. Mclaughlin, doorway early this evening by Policeman Clark, of the Fourth station. A family quarrel, occasioned by female member of the household, caused ths shooting. Me Laughlan, who was shot in the abdomen, was taken to the City hospital, where he has just died. The facts, as near as can be ascer- tained, are that sister of Mclaughlin was desirous of going out for 8 walk, but the night being bitter cold, her mother strenu- ously objected. Waywardness seemingly is a strong point In the girls composition. Not withstanding her mothers objection, she in- sisted upon taking her ramble, accompany ing her movements toward the door with considerable disobedient language, which at- tracted the attention of her brother Will liam. His ire was aroused at the disobedience of his sister, and joining forces with his mother, he insisted that his sister should stay home. But being determined, the girl paid no attention to his protests, but, on the con trary, gave him considerable sharp talk, which so aroused him that he assaulted her. She managed to escape from his clutches and, grabbing one of his shirts or some other piece of wear ing apparel, fled from the house and went in search of a policeman. Officer Clark was found and he proceeded to the house on Lin coin street for the purpose of arresting Will liam. His coming was announced to those within and William, who meanwhile, think ing nothing more of the matter, was making lemonade, started for the door, carrying in his hand the lemon squeezer. Upon being accosted by the officer as to the trouble Nc. Laughlan informed the latter that 1t was none of his business, as he was chastising his own sister in his own house and no one had sent for him (Clark). The lemon squeezer may have been used during McLaughlan's re- marks in threatening manner, for he had hardly closed his portion of the conversation before Clark pulled his revolver and shot him through the abdomen, causing Mclaughlin to fall on his back in the hallway of the house. A physician was immediately sum- moned, who ordered the wounded man taken to the City hospital where he soon after died
