MOSCOW, Feb. lI.-Grand DUKE
Sergius, uncle of the czar, was assas-
sinated near the law courts while driv-
ing from the historical museum to the
Kremlin at O'Clock this afternoon.
A bomb was used by the assassins
and the explosion frightfully mangled
the body Of the grand duke. The car
riage in which he was riding was
blown to pieces, and both driver and
horses killed.
The bomb was thrown by one of
two men in a cab which was driven up
alongside the grand dukes carriage.
Both were wounded by the explosion,
which killed their horse and wrecked
| the cab.
Both men were arrested.
The grand duke for a leag time had
been guarding himself against VIC
lence. After the "bioody Sunday" al
st. Petersburg his apprehenSions were
greater ami he returned to Moscow
for safety.
The entire police department Of the
city has been called out and the troops
are now patrolling the streets.
The city Is wild with excitement,
and the authorities fear a recurrence
of the wild scenes which occurred dur
ing the strike.
sERaIUs A VICIOUS TYRANT.
Grand Duke Sergius was an uncle
of the Emperor Nicholas, and was re-
Gently removed as governor Of Moscow.
He had reputation almost as terri
BILE as that of Ivan the Terrible. He
was vicious, cruel, unprincipled and
had q fanatical hatred of the Jews,
Protestants and Roman Catholics. 1t
is said of him that bis greatest pleas
ure was found In the sufferlngs Of
others. Some OF the worst scandals
In Russian history occurred under the
administration OF Sergius.
A THIEF IN OFFICE.
He was responsible for the disap'
pearance of 81, 900, 900 raised and con
tributed by the empress for the relief
of the sick and wounded In the army
in Manchurla. Early In the war Ser
gius called upon the patriotic people Of
Moscow for contributions for the
same purpose, and one of the wealth
lest men in that city, who owns sever
al large woolen mills, contributed
100, 900 blankets.
A few months later he was ap
preached by a commission man, who
sold him back the same blankets for
about half their value, and they were
returned to the warehouse from which
they had recently been given. Sergiui
shortly after called upon the public
for second contribution for the reliei
of sick and wounded soldiers, and the
woolen manufacturer sent him two
rubles, which is about 81 In our monel
The grand duke was furious and or
dered him arrested and sent to 81
beria. The manufacturer, however
was promptly released when an infiu
tial friend warned Sergius that thi
story of the blanket transaction woul(
be published in every newspaper ii
Europe.

When Doctors Disagree Go to
Wildwood.

From an old issue of the Five Mile
Beach JOURNAL printed in 1890, we
reprint the following paragraph which
is of as much interest 10Y as it was
then:
"Why is there such a rush for the
sea shore during the summer season,
is a question asked by many. Why
people come to Five Mile Beach can
be answered in many ways: For good
fishing, for safe bathing, to get to a
place where true recreation can be chad,
and many other answers could be truth
fully given. But there was II given
in the hearing of the editor of more
import than any quoted above. 1t
was this: In search of health The
lady who made it is n of the most
estimable on the Island. She had
been entirely blind for four months
previous to coming 10 the Beach. In
fifty-one days she took forty-nine baths
in the ocean. The continued applica-
ton of the sea water resulted in a
restoration of her sight and in other
ways was of such benefit to her that
to-day she is the picture of health and
in the possession of almost perfect eye
sight"
