Jack, the Ripper, Ubiquitous.

Police Superintendent Campbell o fB-ooklyn
received n cable Dispatch from Mr.. Anderson
the deputy chief of th' London police, asking
him to make some inquiries about Francis
Tumblety, who is under arrest in England on
the charge of indecent assault. Tumblety is
referred to in the dispatch in the following
manner: "tHe says he is known to you, chief
rs Brooklyn's beauty" Tumblety was ar.
rested in London some weeks ago as the sup.
posed Mhitecha pei murderer. Since his in.
generation in prison he has boasted Of how
he has succeeded in battling the police,
lie also claimed that he was a resident OF
Brooklyn, and this was what caused the
deputy chief of police to communicate with
Superintendent Campbell. The superintend,
ent gave the dispatch immediate attention
and has learned all about Tumblety. He
came to New York in 1868 from Sherbrook,
Canada, where he said he had been a prae.
tieing physician. He opened a store and
sold herb preparations. He did a tTemen.
dous business, and deposited in n savings
bank at least 800 a day. He was n very
eccentric character, six feet high, dark rom.
plexion, largo and long flowing monstache,
and was well built. Whenever he appeared
on the street lie was accompanied by n valet
and two g~reyhounds. His valet was known
as Harold, and was implicated with Booth
in the ASSASSINATION of President Lincoln.
Tumblety was arrested with a man named
Blackburn for bringing infected rags into the
port, but escaped conviction. Shortly after.
wards he disappeared, and was not heard OF
again until 1883. In that year he went to
Hot Springs, Ark. to be treated for rheuma.
tism. Eighteen months ago he wa seen
in Fulton street, and since that time Capt.
Eason has lost all track of him.

IN. Great Canadian story.

One OF tile most severe storms OF snow and
wind known in Canada for years broke over
this province and Ontario Sunday evening,
Nov. 25th and lasted for several days. The
wind at times blew as hard as seventy miles
per hour. The streets of Montreal and the
surrounding country are covered With snow
drifts ten feet deep in places. aud the most
severe cold prevails. Horse car lines stopped
running. Fortyfour people were picked up
in the st eets by the police Sunday night,
unable to max their way through the
storm, being either bennmbed by the
cold or tewildered by the winds. The
storm was felt more severely on the lower
st. Lawrence than anywhere else. The steam
err Pomeranian, bound for Liverpool. which
was grounded at Sorel, made an attempt to
reach Quebec Sunday with the aid Of four
tugs. She got as far as Batiscan, eighty
FIVE miles this side of Quebec, where she an
chored for the night. Next day not only the
steamship but the tugs too, were frozen
in solid. The Pomeranien viii not get
through this season. Her bow are badly
cut by the ice, and the channel being so mar
row she viii probably be forced ashore on the
rocks and become q total loss. The Allan
steamship company, which owns her, will
lose over 1900, 900.
At Quebec the gale ragged furiously, aud
the iron ferry boats hat ply between that
point and Point Lewis are caught in the ice,
which thre atens to crush them. The steam
ship PoliIo, bound from Cape Breton to
Quebec, wis seen struggling against the gale
and ice in the gull, of FAMINE Point, sixty
three miller below Quebec, OF daylight Men
day. She suddenly DISAPPEARED and has not
been seen Or reported since, There are fears
that she has been lost. She had forty pas
sengers, a crew of thirty and a general cargo.
L'lslet and River du Loup report binding

queran signal station reports a brig caught
in the ice, powerless in the gale and flying
signals OF distress. Her name cannot be
made out, nor can help reach her.
At Newcastle six schooner have been
caught and crushed in the ice, and a similar
