“DEATH BY A. STILETTO. Empress Elizabeth of Austria Killed by an Assassin. DEED OF A BRUTAL ANARCHIST Geneva Switzerland, Sept. 10.— By one cruel stab, the life of Em- Elizabeth of Austria was cut short this afternoon. The murd-rer | gn Italian, giving his nameas Laoch jai, used a stiletto, stabbing his yictim from behind. Her majesty never spoke ofter having been struck. Several persons saw the deed com mitted, but were not close enough toprevent it. Laochini is an an- archist. It appears that her majesty was walking from her hotel to the land + ing place of the steamer at about 1 o'clock, when an Italian avarchist suddenly uppeared and stabbed her tothe heart. The empress fell, got Ay up again and was carried to the 4F steamer unconscious The boat started, but, seeing the empress had pot recovered consciousness, the captain returned and the empress was carried to the Hotel Beaurivarge where she expired. The streatcher on which the em presa was carried to the hotel was hastily improvised with oare and sail cloth. Doctors and priests were immediately summoned, and a tele- « § egram was seat to Emperor Francis Joseph. All efforts to revive her majesty were unavailing, and she expired at So'clock. The medical examination showed that the assassin must have used a small triangular file. After striking the blow he ran along the Rue Los Del Alpes, with the evident intention of entering the square Los Alpes, but before reach- ing it he was seized by two cabmen who had witnessed the crime. They banded him over to the boatman ada gendarme, who conveyed him to the police station. The Empress of Austria was born December 24, 1837 She was a dsughter of Duke Maximillian of Bavaria and was married to Francis Joseph, emperor of Austria and king of Hungary, April 24, 1554. They had three children, the Arch duchess Cisola, who is married to Prince Luitpold of Bavaria; the Archduke Rudolph, who married Princess Stephame of Belgium and who was (-¢+mingly) assassinated in @ 1889, and the Archduchess Marie @ Valeria, who married the Archduke Salvator of Austria Tuscany. The empress was an enthusiastic orsewoman. : Bucklen’s Arnica Salve The Best Salve in the world for bruises, sores, ulcers, salt um, fever sores, tetter, chapped nds, chi!blains, corns, and all skin Uptions, and positively cures piles no pay required.
