WHITECHAPEE AGAIN,
Another Victim of the Mysterious London
Fiend-Futile Efforts to Discover the

| Another Victim of the Mysterious London
| Fiend-Futile Efforts to Discover the
| Monster.
| LONDON, Nov. 9.-The murder flend has
| added another victim to his list. At
eleven O'clock this morning the body Of g
| woman cut into pieces was discovered I'M
| a house on Dorset street, Spitalfelds. The
police are endeavering to track the mur-
derers with the aid of bloodhounds. The
appearance qf the remains was frightful,
and the mutilation was even greater than
in the previous cases. The head had besr
severed and placed beneath one of the
limbs. The ears and nose had been cut off.
The body had been disemboweled and the
Hesh was torn from the thighs. Several
organs were missing. The skin had been
torn OFF the forehead end cheeks. One
hand had been pushed into the stomach.
The victims 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 room in the house
whers she was murdered. She carried a
latch key and no one knows at what hour
she entered the house last night, and
probably no one saw the man who ac-
companied her. Therefore, it is hardly
likely that he will ever be identified;
he might easily have left the house
at any time between one and six
O'Clock this morning without attract
ing attention. The doctors who have
examined the remains refuse to make anv
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 mur-
derer but they were unable to keep it for
any great distance and all hope of running
the assassin down with their assistance
will have to be abandoned.
The murdered woman told companion
last evening that she was without money
and would commit suicide il she did not
obtain supper. 1t has been learned that
a man respectfully dressed accosted her
and offered her money and they went to
her lodgings, on the second floor of the
Dorset street house. No noise was
heard during the night and nothing
was known of the murder until the |
andlady went to theroom early this morn
ng to ask for her rent. The first thing she |
saw on entering the room was the woman's |
breasts and viscera lying on table.
The opinion of Archibald Forbes and
Mr.. Winslow that the assassin was a
,omicida1 maniac Is confirmed by the
atest murder, and the prediction has be-
'ome general that another murder will

FATAL FACTORY FIRE.

A Number of Women and Children Lose
Their Lives in a Conflagration at Roches-

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Nov. 10.-The most
disastrous fire ever experienced in this
city occurred last evening at the works of
the Steam Gauge and Lantern Company.
1t was located In building OF seven stories.
with two easements. 1t was situated near
the Genesee Falls. The fire broke out at
1885 O'Clock. About forty people were at
work. mostly on the third floor. The smoke
was very dense, and the men could not
reach the fire escapes, and they were
forced to jump from the third story. -Four.
teen jumped on the west side of the build
ing, and were frightfully injured, six Of
them dying within an hour. Four others
will die before morning. The names of
the dead are: Joseph Darner, John Grem.
our, Joseph Webber, Harry Schneider,
John Gall.
The fatally injured are: Richard Pasch,
Frank siddons, David watkins and John
Germ. 1t is thought that five or more
Dodles are IN the ruins, including one or
more girls. g.
Among those saved was John Platte,
who escaped by sliding from the sixth
moor. He says there were thirty persons
at work on that floor, and three were
saved-Robert and Horstie Hall and Jo-
seph Smith. He thinks that about ten
others escaped with him.
The lantern works with stock and ma
chnery is total loss, estimated at about
$22o, ,OO0. The insurance is S1T9,OO0.
The cause OF the fire is mystery. The
men went to work after supper, and all
seemed to be right then. Soon afterward
Jacob Diehl, the watchman, while making
his usual rounds, discovered flames MAX
ing their way up through the floor. He
had barely time to give the alarm when he
was surrounded by the flames, but sue
eeeded in making the danger known to
the men on the fourth. fifth and sixth
doors. These at once realized their
position and made their way from |
