WAS HAUNTED BY REMoRsE
Russian NihiIist Came to Violent
Death in a Singular Manner.

New York, Jan. ia letter from a
leading member of the colony of ex-
lied Russian revolutionists in London
contains the information, now made
public for the first time, that Serge
Kravchinsky, known of late years as
Sergius Stepniak. the noted revolution
list and author who was recently killed
by a train while crossing the railroad
tracks in q suburb of London, was
prior to his flight from Russia, drawn
no less than five times by the Secret
Circle of the Terrorist section Of the
nihilist party to execute vengeance
upon as many officials of the govern
ment, whose death had been decreed
for their intolerance and prosecutions
and that in every case he performed the
terrible duty assigned to him so secret
iy and skillfully that not a breath of
suspicion attached to him.
The story is circumstantially told
that his last achievement before elud-
ing the secret police and escaping
across the frontier was to execute the
vengeance decreed against a tyrant
who stood high in the favor of the then
car. Stepniak and a fellow nihilist
whose name is not given because he is
now in the United States. but who at
the time was a professor in one of the
Russian universities. engaged a We
hicle and drove about the streets of the
locality in which the victim was in the
habit of walking. The professor sat
on the box while StepniaL was inside.
Late one night the victim walked past
the carriage. on the way from his club
to his residence. Stepniak leaped from
the cab, a dagger swiftly descended
and passed through the heart of the
minion of oppression. The assassin
reGained the vehicle in safety, and with
the professor had crossed the frontier
before the dead body of the victim of
the secret brotherhood was found by
the police.
1t is said that this particular assassin
alton preyed considerably upon Step
niak's mind in his later years, and that
TO remorse concerning it were due the
hts OF abstraction from which he suf-
Tered and in one of which he lost his
life. His tragic death has made a
deep impression on the Russian col
ony in London, and many members of
which are inclined to regard 1t as a
judgment for the blood that stained
his own harcs and for the other assas-
sinations that grew out of his unswerv-
ing position that brute despotism could
be assailed by nothing short of the
dagger and the bomb
