BOMB IN HIS CAR.

Of the Daily Chronicle at Budapest
reports the Illustration OF a plot against
the life of Emperor Francis Joseph.
The emperor was recently going on a
night train from Vienna to Budapest.
In the final inspection of the imperial
train at the terminus at the state rail-
road at Vienna, made 10 minutes before
his majesty's arrival there. bomb

plot has been observed, concludes the
correspondent, and the emperor forbade
the newspapers of Vienna to mention
