LONDON, Sept. 4.-White Chapel has a
murder mystery which transcends any
thing known in the annals OF the horrible.
II is Poc's "Murders in the Rue Morgue"
and "The Mystery OF Marie Roget rolled
into one real story. II is nothing less than
n midnight murderer whose step is noise
less whose strike is deadly and whose
cunning is so great that he leaves no trace
whatever of his work and no clew to his
identity. lie has Just slaughtered his
third victim, and all the women in White
Chapel are terrified, while the stupidest
detectives in the civilized world stand
nghast and say they have no clew. When
the murder OF Mary Ann Nichols, who
was cut into ribbons last Friday night, was
investigated, IL became evident that the
murder was the work of the same hand
that committed the two preceding ones.
All three were moncyless women Of the
lowest class All were killed in the street
between and O'Clock in the morning,
and all were mutilatcd in the same hend-
ish and peculiar way. The coincidence
was 80 great rs TO strike even the detect
ives, aud they are now looking for the one
man whom they believe to be guilty Of all
three crimes.
This man is called Leather Apron"
and nobody knows him by any other
name. lie is character hall way be-
tween Dickens Quip and Poo's Baboon

dor from tho fact that no has

have been carried outon the dead woman.
The story Of Mn. Colwall, who heard the
screams Of the woman rs she was being
murdered is 20 the effect that she was
clearly running away from somebody who
was numbering her, and yet she could hear
no other foot steps. The blood stains ON

The Union and Hawi mills are stor-

direct to San Francisco early next
month. The Kinau brought some
of the first crop from the Laupa-

speaking of the earthquake said it
occurred at Hilo at 5:45 p. m. on
Thursday. He was sitting on the
veranda at the residence of friend

took him very little time to get to

another lighter shock was felt. The

CARELESSNESS.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-A great deal
has been said lately about fast driv-
ing, and although the undersigned
is interested in the hack industry.
l heartily endorse the condemnation
of all those who so recklesly dash
along our principal thoroughfares,
regardless of the safety of pedes-
trians. On the other hand / think
that the number of accidents to foot
passengers would be greatly reduced
if persons whe prefer roads to side
walks would use an ordinary amount
of precaution, and not leave the
entire safety of themselves to the
drivers of vehicles, who cannot al
ways, however careful and exper-
fenced, prevent persons from run
ming plumb into q horse. think in
no part of the world do people SO
unnecessarily exposed themselves to
the dangers of being run over as in
Honolulu, and L feel confident that
l am expressing the views of nearly
all who have occasion TO drive either
private or public carriages, that it
is astonishing the few accidents
which occur, owing not so much TO
fast driving as to the defient and
careless manner in which persons ex-
pose themselves on our public roads.

AN IMPORTANT RULING.

Two hack drivers, John Brown of
the Pantheon and Tom King of the
Fashion Stables, were arrested last
evening by Captain Larsen for rae
ing with their horses on King street.
Judge Dayton fined Brown $50 and
ordered no new license to be issued
to him at the expiration of his pre-
sent one. The same sentence with
the exception of the fine was passed
upon King. His Honor in giving
judgment stated that hereafter if
any person drove around corner
faster than an ordinary walk, he
should consider them guilty of fu-
rious and needless driving upon a
proper conviction.

"One Of the quickest marriages ever
heard of" said man from down on the
Wabash, "was performed by Rev. DIR.
Aaron Turner, now in the Minnesota
Conference.
@Dr. Turner was in charge of the
Vincennes circuit at the time. One
evening he was hurrying his toilet in
preparation for marriage that he was
to perform at o'clock at the home of
one of his flock. He was late and very
much afraid that he couldn't reach the
place of appointment in time. just as
he got his white tie adjusted and was
settling himself into his coat knock
was heard on the parsonage door. DR..
Turner took up his hat, stepped to the
door and opened il. A young man
stood outside. DIR. Turner asked his
business. The young man was furried,
but he managed to say he wanted to get
married, and handed the parson q mar
riage license.
~'Well,' said Dr. Turner, Il can't do
il tonight. i am hulrying now to per-
form another ceremony. I'm already
late
"But.' pleaded the young man, it
won't take you long
al know; but 1 can't wait, and the
preacher came out and closed the door,
walking rapidly away.
"'But, Mr.. Turner called the young
man, desperately, and he ran after the
minister; you surely can marry us.
1t won't take you but minute
Where's the lady?'
fright back here, and the young
man pointed to a figure standing in
the shadow of tree.
"'Well, come on, DIR. Turner said,
and the two went back to where the
girl stood.
Is this the woman you want to
marry?'
&c Yes said the young man.
"'Then you are man and wife. Good
night And he went away leaving the
pair standing speechless. 1t was min
ute before the newly made husband re-
covered enough to run after the preach
er, who was rapidly disappearing in
the dark.
"'Mr. Turner Mr.. Turnerp he cried.
"'Well, what is it 2 said the preach
er, pausing.
"'Why, was that all? Will that do p
"'Yes, yes, that will do. You are
just as much married as if I'd gone
through yard of ceremony. Good
nightP And again he hurried away,
reaching his appointment just in the
nick of time.
"The young man went slowly back
to his bride and spent the next hour or
two in satisfying her that she was
really married. Chicago Mail.

Increased Demand for Horses.


In lecture on H0rSe Breeufng, de-
livered by James Wood, of Westchester
County, New York, occurred the follow
ing statements The demand for horses
is constantly increasing. Europe cannot
supply her own needs. Great Britain an
nually imports 10000 from other countries.
The immense armies of the continent are
making an ever increasing demand, and if
the threatening war cloud bursts the de-
struction of horses will be so great that
this demand will be beyond the possibility
of supply. 1t is freely announced in Eu-
rope that America alone can meet these de-
mands. Competent officers from the Ter
man, French, and English armies have
made extensive examinations in this coun-
try as to our equine resources, and have
made very full reports to their respective
governments. Even in times of peace they
are drawing upon us.
The demands of our home markets are
constantly increasing. In New York City
alone $4,000 horses die every year, and as
many more become lame or are otherwise
disabled and are sent into the country,
from which they never return. Increasing
business makes increasing demands, and
while the substitution of electricity for
horse power upon the street railways will
doubtless, in the near future, injure the
market for inferior horses, yet the require
ments of new industries will more than
counterbalance this, but probably in supe-
rior grades.

The Present Session the Longest Ina the

When the two houses Of Congress we're

Der 1. the session became the longest by
twenty-four hours in American history.
The longest preceding session was that Of
1850. the year of the Missouri compro-

September 80. The session OF 1868 fol-
lowing the impeachment proceedings
against President Johnson. continued later.
the adjournment having taken place
Nov. 10. but as a matter Of fact Congress
took six-weeks' recess from July q, and
never afterward had quorum or attempted
to transact any business. The present
House of Representatives has not had n
quorum for several weeks. Sut such bust
ness as could be done "by unanimous con-
sent" has been done. and as one OF the
regular annual appropriation bils--the gen.
eral deflcieney-is still before the conferrees
of the two houses. 1t can not yet be said that
the years regular work for either honse is
finished.
