RIOT AMONGST NIHILISTS.
A riot recently occurred among Nihilists confined in the prison at Nicolaeff. The prisoners overcame the warders, and refused to obey the command of the officer of the guard to surrender. The latter thereupon gave orders for the soldiers to fire, and several of the Nihilists fell severely injured ; among them being Eli Kovalsky, brother of the Nihilist leader who was hanged at Odessa in 1879, for conspiring to blow up the Czar with a torpedo as he landed at Nicolaeff Pier.
