 The senate, after a heated debate passed the bill legislating out of office Charles w. Fuller, of Hudson county, superintendent of public instruction, and placing the ap,1int- ment in the hands of the governor. r.la bill will probably pass the house.

His Deniais Were Premature.

Conn, Feb l2--Joseph Sphinmer, Q colorer in Beckerles' hat factory, WAS arrested for the murder of Simon J. Dill lon, the Danbury gambler, early Sunday morning. Sphinmer, who can speak no Eng fish, was one of the four Germans whose quar- rel with Dillon and his companion, James c. Chambers near Still River bridge, resulted in the quarrel. The authorities are confident they have the murderer, as Sphinmer stoutly denied all knowledge of the affair when he was called on in the factory by the chief of police, even before the latter had spoken of the murder. In the coroner's investigation the fact was brought out that Dillon had called the four Germans hard names It was also stated that the husband of Line Skyes. the woIuan with whom he was living had threat ened to kill Diilon

HORRIBLE CRIME IN SC0rLANp.

Story of the Perpetrator-Ie Says He Did

LONDON, Feb. 12.-London wns thrown into the greatest state ci excitement over the re- port from Dundee IIat murder had been l committed there sit aiar in many of its details to those which have given Whitechapcl such an unenviable notoriety.
 When the news arrived that the murderer had been arrested there was a sigh of relief, for most people believed that Jack the Rip per" the east end fiend, had at last been ar rested.
 Later on, however, the murderer made a confession which proved that he is not the Ripper, but that drink had driven him to try and initiate the methods of that notorious butcher of women.
 William Bury was dealer ill sawdust at Stratford, one of the Surrey suburbs of London. About three weeks ago lie and his wife, Helen, left Stratford and went to Dun- dee, Scotland, where they took a small house. People looked upon them with suspicion, for they were continually quarreling, and Bury was nearly always drunk. About week ago the woman disappeared. No one had seen her leave the house and no trace of her departure could be discovered. The police arrested Bury and his house was searched. In the basement was discovered a box, from which came horrible stencil It was broken open, and ill it was discovered the body of the missing woman. The head had been cut off, the legs amputated and the stomach ripped opet. The wkcae was terribly deconl- posed. At once the police jumped to the con- clusion that they had discovered the Ripper himself, and the widest excitement prevailed in Dundee.
 Bury had been taken to the county jail be fore the horrible discovery was made. He was still suffering from the effects of pro t1acted dissipation, and could not at first be persuaded to say anything about his wife. At last, however he said he wished to make a clean breast of it to one of the detectives He claimed that he and his wife went to bed and when he awoke he found her lying dead on the floor He was suddenly seized to do as Ripper Jack' had done, and taking a carv- ing knife he set to work gashing the body. The limbs he anputated with q hatchet He said that when his work was completed he felt no shock in viewing it, but yelled with delight and proceeded to get drunk again. When he sobered up he hid the remains where found
