ALITICUT VILTOII.'  ASSASSINATION BY GERMAN SOCIALISTS.  Police Councillor Rumpff, known in connection with various prosecutions against Socialists, has been found murdered in front of his house at Frankfort-on-theMaine, having been stabbed in two places. The perpetrators of the crime have not yet been discovered. The orticial, it appears, returned home shortly after seven in the evening, and the assassin was watching for him in the front garden. Both dagger-thrusts penetrated the heart As the police councillor was not robbed, it is supposed that the murder was committed from motives of vengeance. A reward of three thousand marks has been offered for the apprehension of the murderer; a Berlin correspondent says the assassination has created much excitement in Germany, as little doubt is entertained that the crime was committed by Socialists, owing to the prominent part which the murdered official has taken in unravelling Socialist conspiracies. The ' Press, in commenting on the crime, fear that it may be used as a lever by reactionary parties to urge upon the Government the still further curtailment of public liberty.
