St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1909-02-06


Is reminded that for a period of
years the nihillsts of that unhappy
country had been making determined
efforts to take the life of the emperor.
Only three months before it was an
nounced that the czar, while out HINT
Ing, met with an accident in which
he was seriously injured. 1t is signif-
cant that several persons who were
near the scene of the accident were
Immediately arrested One was hanged
and the other transported to Siberia
Again there had been an accidental
explosion in the Winter palace while
the car was attending state din
ner. Nothing ever came of this Incl
dent although 1t was proven later that
nihilists had entered the palace dis
E;uised as plumbers.
Now, however, 1t was believed in
high official circles that the country
was to enter upon an era of internal
peace. The emperor issued a mani
Gesto of Cancellation. Arrears of taxes
were RENTED; certain criminals were
released from prison; exiles to ST.
IBERIA had their life sentence COM
muted to 20 years of prison servitude.
The nihilists, on hearing this, were
passive but unsatisfied. They had
clamored for certain constitutional
rights which were denied them.
Nevertheless, it was determined by
oficiaidom that the car should cele-
brate the return of "the era of good
feeling" by public appearance in the
capitol Of the nation The time agreed
upon was Sunday, March IS, 1887.
Five days before that date cadet
in one of the military schools
young man with royal blood in his
veins, and prince of reigning house
of Europe-killed himself The tragic
act was attributed to melancholia due
to a hopeless love affair It would be
supposed that small romance of
this sort would be left to the district
police.
Not So At this stage of the nara
tive there enters upon the scene NJ.
Trepoff, a general in the army, the
chief of the secret police of st. Peters
s.
car He was burly man, brusque in
manner and not over nice in his
methods Hated by the people, he
treated their attitude with supreme in
difference Whatever his disposition,
he possessed the unerring instincts of
the real detective. His investigation of
the little cadets suicide was charac-
teristically prompt 1t developed a
startling fact 1t can be stated in
single sentence.
The nfhilists Of st. Petersburg had
determined to assassinate the car on
Sunday, March IS, 1887.
One of the functionaries attached to
the palace heard rumors of the plot
and rushed to Gen. Trepoff.
ut is unsafe for his majesty to ven
ture out. Shall we countermand the
order for the procession"
The chief of the secret service an
swered with an expression Of annoy
ance:
~The program is to be carried out as
arranged down to the smallest de-
TALL
But"
Trepoff interrupted the speaker by
banging his heavy fist on the desk
before him.
Il take all of the responsibility. If
1t is necessary to make any change
1 shall inform the car in person"

the sporting cartoonists, whose work

nous in spelling it bunk
1T appears to me that the southern
version is based on a belief that the
word is a diminutive of 'buncombe'
The northern spelling may be due to
the belief that person who may be
bunked is a person of sleepy or dopy
nature, who might as wen be lying in
a bunk, wrapped in slumber. There
fore when person is bunked he is
rendered sleepy. That is merely con.

Gen. Trepoff. one tinszsgfef Of the St.
Petersburg police, ranks with the most
famous detectives in the Russian empire.
He was in control of the secret service
department of the police of St. Peters
burg during the lawless period extending
from 1875 to 1880. He. seems to have been
yuccessful in this difficult position be-
cause he won the warm commentator of
the car, and at the same time, the
hearty detestation of the people. His
immediate predecessor was assassinated
and his own life was in danger on more
than one occasion. Vera Zassolic, a young
nihilist, shot at him while he was seated
IN his office in the early part of 1885.
Trepoff was seriously injured but re-
covered and soon after that was honored
by the car who made him councillor
of state.)

PEOPLE WE KNOW.

Say Is of Local Interest.

When an incident like the following
occurs right here at home, it is bound
to carry weight with our readers. Sc
many strange occurrences go the
| rounds of the press; are published as
facts, people become skeptical. On
one subject skepticism is rapidly dis
appearing. This is due to the actual
experience of our citizens, and their
public utterances regarding them. The
doubter must doubt no more in the face
of such evidence as this. The public
statement of reputable citizen living
right at home, one whom you can see
every day, leaves no ground for the
skeptic to stand on.

PETITIONS ACCEPTED
 FOR MORE SIDEWALKS
A PATHOLOGICAL LABORATORY
 ADVOCATED.
Mostly Routine Business Transacted
 by the City Fathers Last Night.

The bulk of business accumulated at the regular meeting of the city council last night was relative to the building of sidewalks.
 During the months of July and Aug ust s13,O0O was spent building cement walks. This represents about five miles of walks. It is probable that during the next few months more walks will be laid than at any previous period of the same length of time. All the petitions that have been received by the council, representing five per cent of the property owners, have been adopted and few protests made. There was one protest, however. last night.
 Fifty-one per cent of the property cwrers of Eleventh avenue. between Washington and Woodland, protested and thus squashed the proposition to cement that avenue.
 After asking if there were any who objected to the laying of walks on Washington street between Seventh avenue and Center street. Acting Mayor Cisney instructed the city at torney to draw up the necessary reso~ lutions. The walk will be six feet wide.
 Petitions were read and granted asking for sidewalks on West Jeffer- son between Fifteenth avenue and Cen ter street and on Sixth avenue between Jackson and Washington streets This petition, if not objected to, will neces-
