Doctors Puzzled by the Illness of a Refugee
 from Jackonsvills.
 WAsHINGrON, Oct. 1.-What was at first thought to be case of yellow fever, and which may yet develop into the dreaded dis ease, was found in this city at the Baltimore and Ohio depot. A train that arrived here from Baltimore brought with it man about 30 years of age who was so i'll that he could hardly leave the car. The sick man was very poorly dressed and was destitute of money. His name, he said, was James Oswald. He admitted that he had come from Jacksonville.
 According to his story Oswald left Jack sonville nearly month ago, after having been quarantined ten days. He arrived in Baltimore Saturday night, but the authorities there, he said, refused to allow him to enter the city. Medical Inspector Stratton was summoned, but was unable to decide what the man was suffering with, and ordered him to be taken to the work house hospital Oswald does not possess certificate from the health authori- ties at Jacksonville, as most of the refugees do and the authorities here are of the opinion that he made his escape without the knowl- edge of the health officers.

Congressman Morse In the Sulks,

BOSTON, Oct. 1.-Unless Leopold Morse should change his mind very soon his name will not be presented candidate for con- gress in the Third district He recently wrote letter declining to run again, and it is be- lieved he will cling to that decision. Mir. Morse has been in congress five terms, going there at first merely for recreation, and finally perfecting himself in the mysteries of legisla- tion to such an extent that he became one of the most solid men in the Massachusetts dele gation This session MT. Morse wanted, above all things, to have a place on the ways and means committee and when Speaker Carlisle relegated him to an insignificant committee, without even a committee room at his dis posal, the congressman was wrathy. It is also surmised that he has not received from President Cleveland as many favors as he wanted, and these two considerations are be- lieved to have caused him to lose interest in his office. Many people here think he is the only man who can carry this state for the Democracy ill gubernatorial contest.

All London Mortified. if
Tha Whitechapel Mystery
 Grows Deeper.
TWO MORE WOMEN MUTILATED.

The Police Paralyzed, and Impotent.
 Crowds Visit the Scene of the Tragedy.
 The Murderous Fiend Writes a Jeering Letter and Scoffs at the Police.
 LONDON, Oct. 1.-The two women found murdered near the scene of the former butcheries in Whitechapel, late Saturday night have been recognized as absolute characters who have long frequented that vicinity. One of them was found in Berner street with her throat cut from ear to ear The other was discovered lying in Mitre square. She, like the first mentioned victim, had her throat cut, but in addition she had been disemboweled and her nose had been cut off. The murderer had evidently been disturbed in his work in Berner street and had no time to mutilate the body of his victim.
 The woman murdered in Berner street has been identified as Elizabeth Strude, a native of Stockholm and an inmate of low lodging house. The identity of the other woman has not as yet been established.
 The discovery of the bodies completely paralyzsd the police, and Gen. Sir Charles Warren, chief commissioner, was at once called out of bed He repaired immediately to the scene of the murders and gave orders to have the police force in that district strongly reinforced.
 In consequence of the refusal of Home Secretary Matthews to offer q reward for the detection of the murderer, the residents of the east end on Saturday forwarded peti- tion to the queen herself, praying her to authorize the payment of a reward.
 The first murder occurred shortly after midnight in a narrow court leading from the street, and directly beneath the windows of Socialist club composed of foreigners. A concert was in progress in the club rooms at the time, and large number of people were present, but not sound was heard from the victim. The second murder oc- cured three-quarters of an hour later, in Mitre square, five minutes walk from the scene of the first tragedy.
 The police patrol the square every ten minutes, but the murderer managed to elude them. The vigilance committees will resume their patrol of the district, extending their lines of watchfulness
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-10-01

London is in fever of excitement and Whitechapel in a state of terror over the re sumption of the horrible butcheries, the fourth of which, it was hoped, and quite generally believed, would be the last of the ghastly series. The police are positively helpless and their tacit admission of failure to find any clew whatsoever to the perpetrator of the terrible crimes only serves to add to the con- sternation of the unfortunate creatures whose calling has manifestly made them the objects of the inhuman butchers fury. The number of theories advanced as accounting for the murders and seeking to establish the identity of the murderer is positively be- wildering, but none of them is accepted by the police as the correct one, although the Scotland Yard detectives have nothing more plausible to offer for themselves. The abso- lutely impotent condition of the police in the matter has led them, however, to catch at straws in the way of evidence which i'll ordinary cases would be spurned by the self important borrowers for dynamiters and divers for parcels of sawdust.
 The most significant of these is a letter which was received at the office of the Central News company in one of the postal deliveries on Thursday afternoon. The letter, which is written in a scrawling hand, is familarly ad- dressed Dear Boss," and signed Jack, the Ripper" After boasting that he committed all of the Whitechapel murders, the writer continues: II love my work and want to start at it again. The next job I do I shall cut off the lady's ear and send it to the police. Keep this letter back till I do a bit more work, and then give it out to the police straight"
 A remarkable feature of the Mitre square murder is the fact that one of the dead woman's ears was nearly severed, and this circumstance is held to indicate that the real murderer wrote the letter. Most of the news papers issued special editions yesterday, giving copjous details of the tragedies and volunteering much advice to the police, which they would do well to follow. Great crowds visited the scene of the murders and gazed at the bloodstained pavement with degree of fascination difficult for the police to overcome, in their efforts to keep the high way clear. The lodging houses alleys, etc of the Whitechapel district are being secured by detectives
