THE LONDON HORROR.

World.

still Another Female Corpse Found, Mutf-
lated In the Manner Familiar to the
World.
LONDON, Oct. 2.-To-night just about
dusk the mutilated corpse of woman was
found in an open vault on the site OF the
projected Grand Opera House, right on the
Thames embankment, within stones
throw of the Grand and Metropole Hotels,
and within sight Of the police headquarters
at Scotland Yard. A careful examination
of the remains shows that the body (which is
in an advanced state of decomposition, was
subjected to mutilations similar in fiendish
ingenuity to those inflicted on the White-
chapel victims. Not only have the head
and arms been separated from the body,
but the abdomen has been cut vertically
and the viscera exposed, as in the other
cases. The sanguinary monster evidently
had more time, and was able to perform
his terrible task with greater leisure With
reference to the severed arm which is miss
ing it will be remembered that about q
month ago woman's arm was found float
| ing In the Thames at Pmlco 1t has been
| preserved, and will be compared with the
| remains. The vault in which the corpse was
| discovered, and in which, in all likelihood,
the deed was perpetrated, forms
| part of the foundations of the projected
Grand National Opera House which the
well-known impressario Colonel Maplesor
| intended to erect on the Thames enbank-
ment. The foundation stone of the con.
struction was laid with great ceremony
some years ago, but the scheme fel
through and the foundations alone remain
to mark the site. The place where this
body was found is distant over mile anC
half from the scenes of the Whtechape
| murders.

PRISON A PALACE
Which an Ohio Convict is 10th 10
Leave.
Delusions of Polish Tramp-Imagine!
Himself a Prince and the Pen
His Royal Residence.

COLUMBUS o., Sept 2S-About two
years ago Godfrey Nickinsky, Pole, was
received at the penitentlary from Meigs
county on two years sentence having
been convicted of being a common tramp.
The man is unable to speak English, but
during his term of imprisonment nothing
unusual has been noticed in his actions,
and he was never suspected Of lunacy
until to-day. His term expires tomorrow,
and this afternoon, when called into the
prison office and told that tomorrow morn
ing he would have to leave the institution,
he appeared dumbfounded. He informed
the oRieia,s inv - poog German III 1t
he would not go out, that he was
a prince of royal blood, and that
the penitentiary was a palace and belonged
to him. As already stated, the man had
never shown any signs of lunacy, and
this break upon his part took the officials
by surprise. Warden Coffin, through AS
sistant Clerk koehne, who acted as inter-
prefer, tried to explain to Nicknsky that
his time was out, and that he would have
to leave the palace" to omorrow. The
convict only laughed at the statement, but
when convinced that the Warden was in
| earnest, agreed to leave, with the under
standing that he was to be taken back to
his own palace from which he was
taken when brought here. Warden Coffin
said to the man: Il know this is palace
to you, and to many others like you in
here, but you'll have to palace out of here
tomorrow morning, just the same" The
man appears perfectly harmless, He has
nine dollars coming to him for extra work
and this, with suit of clothes, will be
given to him, and he will be turned out
IN the morning, 1t is probable the prison
officials will put him on a train and star
him back to Meigs County.

Hopeful. ~

Suffering City.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Oct 1.-Presi-
dent Neal Mitchell issues the following Of
fetal bulletin for the twenty four hours
ending at 6p. M, this evening: New
cases, 80; deaths, 10; total number of cases
to date, 2,72j; total number Of deaths to
date, 263. The situation is improving.
Many more white people are out. The
streets look less like an African town
transported to America. Faces are not so
long, steps are brisker, and situations are
more cheerful. A few red-cheeked apples
nestle contentedly in their boxes on lone-
SONG looking fruit-stand, as if sure of COM
pany before long. The delightful atmos-
phere is that of late autumn, when friends
and strangers are pouring in our gates;
but long time, or what will seem as such,
must pass before either can come into this
devoted city. The list of new cases is very
much reduced, and there are few deaths,
but there is apparently no less work to be
done for the benefit of the public. Anzee
Wood, a nurse, who came about twelve
days ago from Cincinnati, aud who has
previously weathered four yellow fever
epidemics, was taken down with the dis
ease Saturday night He taken to st,
Luke's and died there to-day. He had
nursed through one family, only one MEM
ber Of which was very i'll, and none had
died. Jacob Huff is one of the yellow fever
heroes. He had remained here and faced
danger and death TO aid his friends. In a
quiet, unobtrusive way he has daily re-
manned at his office, directing the affairs of
the Knights of Honor and Odd-fellows in
the city, and seeing that none who were
sick or in need were neglected. Without
the red-tape formality, nurses, medicines,
food and money were furnished the sick
and reedy on the above Order promptly
| and all of it paid for out of funds con
tributed by the brotherhood through Mr.
| Huff's solicitation.

A Good Face to Have.

Memory of Events; This is shown by
wide, full forehead in the center.
Reasoning Power: A high, long and we'll
defined nose and broad face exhibits this
great faculty.
Moral Courage This faculty manifests
itself by wide nostriis, short neck, and eyes
set directly in front.
Language: This faculty is exhibited in
many parts of the face, particularly by a
large mouth and large, full eyes, opened
wide.
Self-esteem: This faculty shows itself in
long or deep upper lip. Large self-esteem
gives one dignity, self-control and perfect
independence.
Firmness: The presence OF this faculty,
when very large, is indicated by long,
broad chin. Firmness is synonymous with
wilfulness, perseverance and stability.
Perception of Character; This is indicated
by long, high nose at the lower end or tip
This faculty is very useful, If not indispen-
sable, to Judge in the exercise OF the func-
tions OF his Office
Powers of Observation; The situation OF
this faculty is in the face just above the UP
OF the nose, filling out the forehead to level
with the parts on each side OF the nose IL

TIL Police Paraiyzed and the People
Dlsmayed by Bloody Atrocities.
LONDON, Sept. 3O.-This morning the
whole citxwas again startled by the news
that two NOR, murders had been added to
the list Of mysterious crimes that have re-
emily been committed in Whitechapel.
The two victims, as in the former cases,
were two dissolute women of the poorest
class. That the motive of the murderer
was not robbery is shown by the fact that
no attempt was made to despoil the bodies.
The first murder occurred in a narrow
court off Rerners street, at an early hour
this morning, beneath the windows of
a foreigners Socialist club. A concert
was in progress, and many members
of the club were present, but no sound
was heard from the victim. The same pro-
cess had been followed as in the other
cases. The woman had been seized by the
throat and her cries choked, and the mur-
derer, with one sweeping cut, had severed
IlN-tr throat from ear,to ear. A club man on
Is - & tte court stumbled over the body,
which was lying only two yards from the
street. "A Slltdbi u warm DIuOu WIS HOW
ing from the body into the gutter. The
murderer had evidently been disturbed
before he had time to mutilate his victim.
The second murder was committed three
quarters of an hour later in Mitre Square,
i've minutes walk from the scene Of the
first crime Policemen patrol the square
every ten minutes, The body Of
the unfortunate woman had been
disembowled, the throat cut and the nose
severed. The heart and lungs had been
thrown aside and the entrails were twisted
into the gaping wound around the neck
The incisions show rough deXterity. The
work of dissection was evidently done with
| the utmost haste. Mitre Square, the scene
| of the second murder, is thoroughfare.
Many people pass through the square early
on Sunday morning, on their way to pre-
pare for market in the notorious Petticoat
Lane The publicity of the place adds to
the daringness of the crime. The police,
| who have been severely criticised in con
nection with the Whtechapel murders,
are paralyzed by the latest crimes.

Five Lives Lost in a Storm,

SANILAc, Mich, Oct 2-There has been
a terrible storm raging her since early last
evening. At O'Clock last night the life
saving crew from Sand Beach started out
and at II p. m, they rescued a crew of six
men and one lady from the barge st. Clair.
They We're seen nearing this place at I
o'clock this morning and every thing was
made ready for their help. As the boat
passed the end of the dock the captain
rounded her up to come up to the dock.
Just as he did so a high breaker struck the
boat, turning her completely over. Every
one expected her to right again, but she
failed to do so. The entire crew belonging
to the boat reached shore, towing two OF
the other crew with them. The remainder,
four men and one woman, were drowned
near the shore.
