and their mother. who are swept at
stroke from the workshop to the
barracks. One is a mason, one a

RUSSIA is MYSTlFIEO.
Apparent Attempt Upon the Life
of the Gar.

A st. Petersburg special says: The
ceremony Of the blessing of the waters
this year was accompanied by an event
more mysterious, unprecented and eXtra-
ordinary than any afforded by the annals

should narrowly escape death by shot
from his own artillery while h. was en-
gagged i'll solemn religious rite, sur
rounded by priests of the church, is so
difficult to realize as to be almost incred
! ible.
Yet this is what happened Thursday.
and the Russian public is left wondering
and mystifed. BY the merest chance the
imperial family escaped unhurt. but pub
lie opinion is stunned by what might
have been the tragic result Of the af-
fair.
