der OF General Count Alexis Ignaueu
has caused CONSERVATION among a
number of ex-ofticials of the Won
Plehve and Sipiaguine regimes, who
have retired from the field of active
administration. They now fear that
their past records expose them to the
same danger Of belated retribution
The Novoe Vremya furnishes the
following details of the murder. The
assassin had an accomplice who has
not yet been captured. Both men be-
longed to the group of terrorists, with
headquarters in Moscow, where the
crime was planned.
An unknown man attracted the at
tention of the count on Dec. 81 by
following his carriage from the rail-
road stations but Ignaticff thought he
was police detective and dismissed
the matter from his mind. He felt SO
safe within the Hall of Mobiles that
even while driving thithcr he left his
revolver.
1t has been learned that the mur-
derer stole up a back stairway Of the
building and took advantage of the
commotion in the diningroom during
the intermission to steal within an
arms length of his victim.
The bullets fired from the assassin's
revolver have been examined and
found coated with virulent poison.

at New Orleans.

New Orleans, Dec. 26.-The New Or

freight to Western points has been al
most completely closed by the South

One hundred strike-breakers from
the North arrived here at night to re-
place the Southern Pacific striking
firemen. Half of them were retained
in New Orleans and half sent to Hous-
ton, Tex.
To prevent large quantity of To-
cal freight trains being tied up the

"POLLY PRIMROSE"

At the Auditorium commencing
Sunday evening the Shirley COM
pany will present a comedy drama
entitled Polly Primrose" The
story treats of a plot to inform
General Lee when the city of
Washington, d. c., was weak in
forces, thus enabling the confeder-
ate army to capture that capital
during the civil war. Georgetown
being a neutral city, the conspira-
tors were not regarded with as
much suspicion as their fellow pa
triots further south.
Carlisle, Yankee, while visiting
family in Georgetown, is inform
ed by secret service men that an
attempt is being made to inform
Lee when troops will leave the city
of Washington. While a meeting
is being held, he enters; an explain
alton of papers and plans is made
by one of the members which for
the time is accepted by the Yankee
officer but Chase, a renegade, also
in love with the same girl as the
officer, tells all, thus forcing his CO.
conspiratOrs to do away with the
Yankee. He is bound. and gagged
and carried to another room to
await his fate. Polly Primrose en-
tiers and suspects something wrong
she keeps the men in the room
while she has her lover, the Yam
kee, released. Later on she again
outwits the officers who come to
arrest the family for conspiracy.
The play is full of comedy and
a pretty love story runs all through.
Miss Maude Still will be seen in
new specialties.
