QUEBEC, Can, Nov. .0-A snow storm
and gale which in severity has seen few
equals even in winter here set in late yes
terday afternoon and continued until noon
Friday Ii extended over the whole OF
Quebec and the maritime provinces. Dis
patches from Lower Quebec say that two
and n half feet Of snow has fallen all along
the lower st. Lawrence. and that serious
fears are entertained that there has been
large loss Of life among the fishermen
on both shores OF tho gnlf.
At L'islot, forty-three miles below Que
bee, the snow-st storm ws5 reported so
thick that the light house at the point
could not be seen fifty feet away, and the
fog signals could not be heard. A gale Of
wind was blowing all night and con-
tinucd Friday morning. the waves
| washing clear over the island and en-
dangcring the structure. At River du
Loup and Farther Point it is said that q
fleet of vessels are anchored there. among
them the Liverpool steamer Sandman

| ashore and her crew were in the rigging
all night. They were rescued badly

went ashore on the rocks. The captain is
reported drowned It is known
/ that a large number OF fishing
| boats were below Anticosti Tuesday, but
none Of them have been heard Of since. 1t
i is impossible that they all can have

board She has not been heard Of since, al
though the passage usually takes eleven
| hours From R;mouski. the last gulf sta
tion OF the International railway, there
comes story that fishing smack with
three men aboard had been lost.
L

that there will be fearful tale to tell Of
the loss Of life among the gulf fishermen.

LONDoN'S FiEND AGAIN.
He Kills Another Woman Near the Scene
Of His Former Crimes-Thc Body Of He
Latest Victim Mutilated In the Most
| Horribly Shocking Manner.
LONDON. Nov. 10 The murder fend has
added another to his list of victims. Yester-
day morning the body Of . woman cut into
| pieces was discovered in q house on Dorset
| street, Spitalfields. The police are endeav-
| oring to track the murderer with the aid OF
bloodhounds. The appearance Of the re-
mains was irightful, and the mutilation
was even greater than IN tho pre-
yious cases. The head had been
severed and placed beneath one OF
the arms The eafs and nose had
been cut off, The body had been disem-
bowe,cd. and the flesh was torn from the
thigh The womb and other organs were
missing. The skin had been torn OF tho
forehead and cheeks. One hand had been
| pushed into the stomach.
The victim. like all the others, was .
dissolute woman. She was married. aud
her husband was porter They had
lived together at spasmodic 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 room in the house where she
| he tlt. -l.pu
and no one knows at what hour she
entered the house Thursday night, and
probably no one saw the man who &C
| companied her. Therefore it is hardly
likely that he will ever be identified. He
might easily have left the house at any
time between l and o'clock this
morning without attracting attention. The
doctors who have examined the remains
refuse to make any statement until the IN
quest is held Three bloodhounds belong
ing 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 dis
! tance, and all hope Of running the 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 Whitechapel.
In the House of Commons Mr.. Cony-
bearc, member for Camborne, asked
. whether in view Of the latest Whitechapel
murder. Sir Charles Warren ought not te
be superseded as Chief Commissioner OF
Police by man accustomed to investi
! gate crime The Speaker gave the mem
: Der notice that the question must be sub
: mltted in writing.

and about half mile from Waitechapel thu
scene Of the other murders 1t resembles tn,
latter locality in general characteristics, beint
Q inhabited largely by the poorer classes.
