Ukrainian / Russian railway seal. CT. ?пола = Station ?pola. Next line is a date.

From Paul Cannon, "I think it reads: CT. ШПОЛА for Shpola Station; a town in Central Ukraine. The station opened 23 November 1876 and was the final station on its branch line until 1891 when it was extended. The other face can I think be expanded to ЮГО-ЗАПАДНАЯ ЖЕЛЕЗНАЯ ДОРОГА for South Western Railway Company. See Wikipedia, Southwestern Railways"

From Ged Dodd, "C = Selo = village / CT = СТАНЦИЯ = Station ШПОЛА = (SHPOLA) = Shpola Village Station in Ukraine ЮЗ / ЖД = Yu.Z.Zh.D = ЮГО ЗАПАДНЫЙ ЖEЛEЗHAЯ ДOPOГA South Western Railroad 10/IX/1890 - (908) = 10th September 1890 - 908 tag number see IDS812 The PeaceHavens Project, Seal Numbers 801 - 900."
