WASHINGTON NOTES.
HOW THE HOUSE WILL STAND.

WASHINGTON, November 9.--"I believe we
will have from seventeen to twenty ma
jority in the next house." said Secretary
Mcpherson of the republican congress
sional campaign committee to-day.
Taking up table printed in New York
republican paper he said:
81 am going to give the democrats all
they claim within reason, where actual re-
turns have not removed all doubt" From
this table he reduced the republican claims
for congressman by one each Florida,
Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina and
West Virginia and by two in Virginia. In
that shape he allowed all democratic
claims in doubtful cases and the result
was a republican majority of fifteen. He
could not see how it could possibly be
reduced below that figure and allowing
for republican chances in doubtful districts
as in Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia,
North Carolina and elsewhere, he conf =
IDENTIFY expected that the republican ma
jority would be found to be nearer twenty
than fifteen.

He Got HIS Money Promptly.

As stated in this paper at the time Mr..
Jamie Rhodes, of Eufaula, Ala, held
ticket No. 46,755, in the October drawing
of the Louisiana State Lottery, for which
he paid 81. 1t proved to bs lucky
ticket, for it drew the capital prize of
100000, and entitled Mr.. Rhodes to one
twentieth of that amount, or $4,000. If
the ticket had been whole one for which
Mr.. Rhodes had paid 500, he would have
received the whole 100000. On inquiry,
Mr.. Rhodes found that he held the right
number and forwarded his ticket by ex-
press, for collection of his prize. 1t was
promptly cashed in bank at New Or
leans, and the money was duly received by
Mr.. Rhodes in another day or two, and it
is now on deposit to his credit in the
John MoNab bank of this city. Mr..
Rhodes is most worthy young man of
about 81 years, and of moderate means
and but recently entered the mercantile
business here in company with his brother
in-law, Mr.. Ed. L. Long. While his big
luck was very gratifying, it did not daze
or unnerve him, but he took it in a quiet
and business like way, and he will handle
the money with care and good judgment,
as it gives him fine start in business
life. For thirty years his father, Mr.
Chauncey Rhodes, has been cashier of the
John McNab bank, iu Eufaula, and no
man in Alabama is thought more of by
his friends and those who know him.

His Last Victim Butchered and
Cut to Pieces-Another Silent
Assassination.
ENGLAND.
RESUMED HIS TRADE.

LONDON, November 9.-The murder
fieud has added another to his list of vic
tins. At IL O'Clock this morning the body
of a woman cut into pieces was dscoV-
cred in house on Dorset street, Spital-
fields. The police are endeavoring to
track the murderer with the aid of blood
Hounds.
The appearance OF the remains was
frlghtful AID the mutilation was even
greater than in previous cases. The head
had been severed from the body and
placed beneath one of the arms. The ears
and nose had been cut off. The body had
been disemboweled and the flesh was torn
from the thighs. The womb and other
organs were missing. The skin had been
torn off the forehead and cheeks. One
hand had been pushed into the stomach.
The murdered woman told companion
last evening that she was without money
and would commit suicide if she did not
obtain a supply. 1t has been learned that
a man respectfully dressed accosted the
victim and offered her money. They went
to her lodgings on the second floor of
Dorset street house. No noise was heard
during the night, and nothing was known
of the murder until the landlady went to
the room early this morning to ask for
her rent. The first thing she saw on en-
tering the room was the woman's breast
and viscera lying on the table,
Dorset street is short and narrow and
situated close to Mitre square and Han
bury street.
The victim, like all Others, was a pros
titute. She was married and her husband
was a porter. They had lived together
at spasmodlc intervals. Her name is
believed to have been Lizzie Fisher, but
to most of the habitues of the haunts she
visited she was known as Mary Jane. She
had a room in the house where she was
murdered. She carried latch key and
no one saw the man who accom- panied her,
therefore, it is hardly likely he will ever
be identified. He might easily have left
the house at any time between l and 6
O'Clock this morning without attention.
The doctors who have examined the re-
mains refuse to make any statement
until the inquest is held. Three blood
hounds belonging to private citizens were
taken to the place where the body lay and
placed on the scent of the murderer, but
they were unable to keep it for any great
distance, ana all nope vi running uue
assassin down with their assistance will
have to be abandoned.
The remains were mutilated in the same
horrible manner as were those of the
women murdered in White Chapel.
