Zeal Name of StcpniaIs and Some Facts
About the Man.

NEW YoGK. Jan. IA letter from lead
revolutionists III London contains the in
formation. now made public for the first
time that Serge Kravchinsky, known Of
late years rs Sergius Stepniak, the noted
revolutionist and author, who was recent
ly killed by a train while crossing the
railroad tracks in n 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 :snihilist
party to execute vengeance upon as many
officials of the govcrmant whose death
had been dccrecd for their intolerance and
prosecutions, and that in every case he
performed the terrible duty assigned to
him so secretly and skillfully that not q
breath of suspicion attached to him.
The story is circumstantially told that
his last achievement before cluding the
secret police and escaping across the from
tier was to execute the vengeance decreed
against n tyrant who stood high in the IA
vor OF the then car. Stepniak and a fell
low nihilist, whose name is not given be-
cause he Is now in the United States. but
who Mt the time was n professor in one of
the Russian universities. engaged a We
hiclc md drove about the streets of the
locality in which the victim was in the
habit of walking. The professor sat on
| the box while Stcpniak was inside
Late one night the victim walked past
the carriage on the way from his club to
his residence. Stcpniak leaped from the
| cab; n dagger swiftly descended and
passed through the heart of the minion of
oppression. 1t is said that this particular
| assassination prcyed considerably upon
Stepniak's mind in his later years, and
that to rcmorse concerning it We're due'the
fits of abstraction from which he suffered
and in one of which he lost his life.
