Another Body Found.
London Again Thrown Into a
 Frenzy of Terror.
THE TENDS SEVENTH VICTIM.

LimDIess and Headless Trunk Discov- cred on the Bank of the Thames, in One of the Busiest Parts of the City. Almost a Riot at the Scene.
 LONDON, Oct. 3.-The seventh victim of the Whtechapel fiend has been found, and all London is in state of frenzy. The butcher who gloats in his ferocities and delights ln the fiendish mutilation of human bodies IS still at large.
 The latest victim discovered was evidently murdered some weeks ago, and the fright fully butchered and decomposed body was found in different locality from any of the other unfortunates who have fallen under the bare of this mysterious fiend, who can with immunity perpetrats his awful crimes and terrorize a class of Londsn's citizens.
 The newest revelation suggests the thought that already he has executed his awful threat. "Fifteen before 1 stopn was marked on the body of the first victim, and already seven have been found. Six of them were discovered in the Whitechapel distl>t, but the seventh, and that not a recent one, is found in a section not heretofore invaded by this maniac, whose record of mutilation and butchery appals great metropolis, baffies the police and creates consternaton in gov ernment circles.
 Early in the morning the body was found in vault on the embankment of the Thames where the Grand Opera House was to be erected The person who discovered the victim rocoiled in horror at the sight. A headess trunk of a woman, mutilated and gasupd beyond the conception of the most bioodthirsty, lay on the bank in an advanced state of decomposition.
 Word was immediately sent to the police, e and instantly a strong force was dispatched to the scene. Simultaneously the news was bulletined in front of all newspaper offices. Horror stricken citizens read the news, and, forgetting all business cares neglecting all interests, consumed only by the morbid ex- cite;nent generated by the repetition of the fearful crimes, hastened to the scene Thou sands crowded the thoroughfare, rushing frenZietl end terror stricken, to the banks of the Thames.
 The police, re-enforced by several detach- mentS from the stations, formed a cordon about the place Excited men, frenzled women and terror stricken children surged and crowded about the place, anxious to view the body and satisfy their own morbid curiosity as to the methods of the mysterious butcher. The police, with drawn clubs though chagrined at the success Of the fend reSolutely kept the crowd back It was a difficult task. Thousands were momentarily added to ohe vast, surging, yelling, demoni- acal mob, and crowded and pushed to get to the front so as to see the body. The police pushed back the crowds in front, and they in turn moved back on the pushing thousands in the rear It was an uncomfortable mob which needed but word and leader to break into riotous demonstrations which would overpower the police and commit overt acts destructive of life and property They were, however, restrained from any out break
 The body of the woman lay for hours as it was found. The mutilations were similar to those of the victims of the Whitechapel dis trict. The fiendish ingenuity which planned and executed the atrocities in one case eyi- dently responsible for this one. The head was severed from the body and thrown away. The right arm was cut off and that also is missing. Wheu the butcher had killed his victim he continued the multilation which has characterized the other cases. The ab- domen was slit open and the intestines ex- posed
 additional revolting feature was pres ent in this case which has not been apparent in the others. The legs of the victim were severed from the trunk just where they Join the body. They were found short distance from the headless trunk. The fend, not satis- fled with the awful disfguration of the body and its memberment, then took the severed members and gashed them frightfully. On the dismelnbered legs of the victims were found several cuts in fantastic shapes, all evi- dently executed by the same sharp knife with which the head and limbs were severed The trunk also was cut and s!aShed in fearfully fantastic designs
 The cool method by which the mutilation was accomplished the skilful surgical work by which the several members were severed from the body, and the dexterous manipula. tion of the knife on parts of the body are all evidences that the fiend took time to execute this revOlting crime.
 A possible clew to the identity of the woman has been hunted up by the police Some weeks ago the arm of a woman was found floating i'll the Thames near Pimlico A thorough search was instituted by ths police but nothi; z could be learned of the nlysteri ous di- appearance of any woman. The police then believed tiat the was thrown into the river ly some careless medical student and further search abandoned It is nov thought that the ar,n is the one which wa. cut off by the butcher from the woman whose body was found on the embanknsnt
 The scene of the murder is, in the day time, one of the busiest localities in London Thousands pass there at all hours of the day hundreds of drays move in continuous pro cession, and many of the large bushes places Of the city are located here
 From the windows of many buildings tn, place can be seen without difficulty All O these places are, however, closed at night the streets which during the day are trampet by thousands are quiet and deserted, the bi! buildings unoccupied, and none save tn police and the night wanderer in the vioin ity. A woman's cries would be lost in tn place, and he who wanted to exercise hi homicidal vent for such frightful ferocitie could scarcely find more secluded or avail able place in all of this great city.
