One of the carriages of the Brighton train has been found to be saturated with blood, and bullets have beon discovered embedded in the wood-work. No clue as to who the murderer is has yet been obtained, but the police and the railway officials are making every effort to unravel the mystery. The identity of the victim has not yet been established. June 29. The Empress of Germany is seriously ill. She has undergone a dangerous operation, and her condition is considered critical.
