tary will be d. l.. Alexander, now a
resident of Buffalo n. Y. Mr.. Alex
ander possesses all of Col. Lamont's
caution and shrewdness, but is less
austere and reserved, He is lawyer
and journalist, and lived in Indian
apolis until few years ago, when he
became fifth auditor of the treasury,
which position he resigned when
Cleveland was elected. He has been
with Gen. Harrison in a confidential
capacity since the opening of the
campaign, and has won the latter's
esteem and confidence.
HEAVY SNOW STORM.
KANSAS CRY, Nov. 9.-The heaviest
snow storm ever known here at this
season of the year, began at three
o'clock this morning, and is still
raging with unabated severity. The
storm is general all over the state.
FATAL ACCIDENT.

BE JUMPED TOO FAR.
PoUGHKEEPsIE, N. Y, Nov. 9.-Steve
Brodie jumped from the bridge in
course of construction over the Hud-
son river here at six o'clock this morn
ing. He broke three ribs. and when
he reached shore blood was running
from his mouth and ears. Brodie
shortly afterwards took the train for
| New York where arrived at o'clock.
MAKING CABINETs-oN STATES.
New YORK, Nov. 9.-The main con-
sideration of Importance at present is
as to whether Harrison will not call
Blaine to the head of his cabinet. As
to this point there is great diversity
Of opinion among Republicans here,
but the almost unanimous wish and
hope is, that Blaine may be let Sc
verely alone. Even his admirers say
the new administration would have
a better chance without Blaine than
with him. Fully a dozen cabinet
states have been promulgated here to
day, and taken together, they contain
nearly every Republican name of any
prominence in the country. Perhaps
only one of the names is certain to be
found in the final list, and that is the
name of Col. Jno. @. New, Of Indian
apolis, who is regarded as the coming
secretary Of the treasury. Almost
without doubt Gen. Harrison will
put some Indiana man in the cabinet
and Col New is the first, and only
man anyone thinks of. His long and
large experience in the treasury sug
gests the appropriateness of placing
him at the head of that department
John Sherman is almost everywhere
mentioned as secretary of state. =
THE LONDON HORROR.
LONDON, Nov. 9.-The murder fenG
has added another to his list of vic
Tins. At II o'clock this morning the
body of woman cut into pieces was
discovered in a house on Dorset
street, Spitalfields. The police are
endeavoring to trace the murderer
with bloodhounds. The remains
were mutilated in the same horrible
manner as those of the women mur.
dered in Whitechapel. The appear.
ance of the remains is frigh tful, and
mutilation was even greater than in
the previous cases. The head had
been severed from the body and
placed beneath one of the arms. The
ears and nose cut off. the body dis.
emboweled and the flesh torn from
the thighs. The womb and other or.
gans were missing. The skin had
been torn off the head and cheeks
one of the hands had been pushed
into the stomach. This victim, like
all the others, was a prostitute. She
was married, and her husband was a
porter. They lived together at spas,
modic intervals. Her name is be-
lieved to have been Lizzie Fisher
but to most of the habitues of the
haunts she visited she was known as
Mary Jape. She had a room in the
house where she was murdered and
she carried latch key, and no one
knows at what hour she entered the
house last night. 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 between
one and six O'clock this morning
without attracting attention. Doc
tors who have examined the remains
refuse to make any statement until
an inquest is held. Three blood.
hounds belonging to private citizens
were taken to the place where the
body lay and placed on the scent OF
the murderer, but were unable to
keep it for any great distance, and
all hope of running the assassin
down with their assistance will have
| to be abandoned.
