MURDERED AND MUTILATED.
Another Woman Slain and Hacked in
Pieces by ''Leather Apron

Pieces by Leather Apron"
LONDON, Nov. 9.-The body of wo-
man was this morning found murdered
and mutilated in house of Dor
sett Street, near Panbury Street.
The murder was committed in the
woman,s own room and, the
body was cut up in horrible manner.
This is undoubtedly a repetition of the
previous series OF woman murders in
Whitechapel. Blood hounds have
been brought to the spot and are work
ing on the trail of the murderer.
The appearance OF the remains was
frightfl and the muiilation was even
greater than in the previous cases. The
head had been severed and paced be-
meath 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 internal Or
CANS were missing. The skin had been
torn off the forehead and cheeks. One
hand had been pushed into the stom
ach.
The victim, like all the others, was
disreputable woman. She was married
and her husband was porter. They
had lived together at spasmodic inter-
walls. Her name is believed to have
been Lizzie Fisher, bnt 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 knows at what hour she en-
tered the house last night, and probably
no one saw the man who accompanied
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 6 O'clock this
morning without attracting atten-
ton. Doctors who have examined
the remains refuse to make any
statement until the inquest is held.
Three bloodhounds belonging to private
citizens were taken tc 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 and all
hope of running the assassin down will
have to be abandoned.

Fires LII Columbia.

A steamer from Panama brings to Sam
Francisco an account of a by fire in the
neighborhood of Vietta, Columbia. 1t
originated in stubble and owing to a
strong breeze the flames caught the
houses OF the town. Many children per-
ished in the confagration. Heavy
losses of cattle and produce are report
ed. At Carthaeena there has been
great loss from drought and forest fires.
All crops have been lost and in some
places the fire has destroyed other val
liable properties, including an immense
sugar-cane plantation, on which the
buildings and $4,000 coffee. plants were
consumed by the flames.

Post-office Nomenclature.
From the New York World.

The post-office nomenclature of this
country offers much that is interesting
to the historian, the philosopher, the
among the widely divergent classes of
men here mentioned is there an midi
vidual who could give satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION fer the recent change in the
name of the post-office at McDouQal.
Richie County, w. Va, to Goose Neck :?
McDougal" is name possessing both
dignity and euphony. "Goose Neck !"
is title which does not look we'll either
on map or ON an envelope. Can it be
that the nomenclature tendency of our
post-offices is down rather than up?

Mans Tricks.
DENVER, Col, Nov. 10.-Denver build
ers and lumbermen are much worked
up over the clever swindle perpetrated
upon them bv Alonzo Weibel, who re-
Gently came here from. Englewood, a
Chicago suburb. He brought such
excellent letters Of recommends
ton that he had little diff
fculty in obtaining the best OF credit
and he quickly worked up a good bust
ness. Last Saturday Weibel collected
nearly $4,000 on unfinished buildings
and took his departure, leaving behind
him unpaid bills amounting to Sc, 800.
He got away so hastily that valuable
house filed with costly turni-
ture was left behind. This has
been almost entirely pi.laged by his un-
paid laborers. Weibel with all his cum
ming, was unable to deceive a plasterer
named Carson. The latter found him
and his wife very near midnight on
board train en- route for Los Angeles.
At The point OF pistol he demanded of
Weibel the 1915 due him, whereupon
Weibel's wife repaired to the ladies'
toilet room, disrobed and produced the
cash. She had the entire amount Of her
husbands stealings concealed upon her
person. Weibel has been traced to Los

ARMS FOR HAYTI.
The Saginaw Sails from New York Under
Suspicious Circumstances.

A rumor was in circulation that the
steamship Saginaw, which sailed for
New York on the 9Th, for San Domingo
City and other ports in Hayti, had GER
tain arms and other contraband goods
on board. Color was given to the
rumor by the fact that the stea NJ
er came to off the lightship /; d
remained all the afternoon, but at 6 2.
NJ. was reported passing the Scotland
Lightship, going south. The Haytian
consul made request to the customs au-
thorities that the steamer be intercept
ed, and the revenue cutter w. E. Chan
dler, Lieut.. Smith commanding, was
sent down the bay to arrest the steamer
if possible. But it is thought that the
Saginaw had too much the start to be
oVerhauled by the Chandler.

placed for tubing for this purpose,
which accounts for the present unusual

THE IOWA RAILROADS.
They Continue to Obstruct the Work of
the State Commissioners

the State Commissioners.
DEs MONIES, Oct. 30.-Some time ago the
railroad commissioners, at the request of Gov.
Larrabee, asked the different railroads doing
business in the state to furnish statement as
to the present value Of their property, includ-
ing night OF way, rolling stock, equipment, &c.
About half OF the roads have replied ''un-
known" and Others say il is matter Of guess
work, as the value huctuates with many chang
ing conditions, and the commissioners are as
competent to guess upon it as any one else is.
The answer Of the Rock Island was received to-
day, and 1t is OF the scattering order, politely
declining to furnish the information desired,
and giving some of the reasons why il is inn
possible. Il reminds the commissioners that a
year ago they had no idea why the legislature
ever asked them to collect this information.
and then it reminds them that in their public ex-
aminations some weeks ago they admitted that
the present schedule of rates was unreasonable
and calculated to force some roads into bank
ruptcy. And yet they were asking the Supreme
Court to compel the roads to obey it. The
Rock Island thinks it would be pretty hard to
tell the value of road that was subject to such
treatment, and adds that it can be said that il
is more worthless than it was four years ago
and more than it will be four years hence, ow-
ing to the hostile legislation of the last general
assembly and the present attitude of the CON-
missioners. The latter are quite indignant
over the letter and say that it is treating them
with disrespect. But they are bound to prose.
