Twp Russian workmen, with army revolvers, held up a motor-car and seized a bag of sovereigns.

The Russians fired indiscriminatclVj frequently reloading, and killed a policeman and a. boy. , On reaching Walthamstew they boarded a traincar, firing on the passengers, the poliee following in a motor-car.' Finding their pursuers gaining, one of the robbers blew bis brains out on the joad.Tho other took refuge in a house, and there shot himself, inflicting mortal wounds. • Too Russians were employed in a Tottenham factory, and knew it was tho custom,to bring. $100 weekly to pay wages, CONSTABLE AND DESPERADO. QUICK SHOOTING. MORE ALIEN RESTRICTIONS WANTED. / (Rec. January 25, 11.30 p.m.) ■" ■ London, Jaunary 25. The names of tlio authors'of tho Tottenham savagery were Hafeld and Jacob. They were members of tho Russian revolutionary. party, which has its headquarters' in London. - , Hafeld shot himself; or. according to another account, was shot by a policeman and captured. , Jacob rushed into a cottage and shot himself in an upper.room.. His pursuers thrice summoned him to,surrender. Receiving no answer, Constable Eagles fired two shots through tho door, apparently, wounding Jacob, who was then seen, through an opening between the. door and the floor,, cautiously advancing. The door was quietly opened, and Jacob appeared, deliberately aiming a revolver with/ his left hand, the mijzzlo resting on his right arm; but Eagles was too quick for him, and fired, ,tho- bullet entering 'Jacob's forehead,. .'■ . .(..:■ Jacob rolled over, on to tho bed, and was dead before Eagles reached him. "Tho Times'' says it is high time to..put some more effectual restrictions on the facile entry of alien degenerates, ,: !. The "Daily News" remarks that two brigands, who had escaped "Stolypin's. necktie;" apparently, dreamed of acclimatising thejr methods in Britain, Tho experiment is hardly likely to be repeated, .-. •■: All tho newspapers hope that the widow of the constable who. was.killed, the,relatives of the boy, and the .constables, who , were wqunded will bo suitably remembered. Tho sufferers are progressing,. '
