AS the Chairman was about to put the
vote on adopting the committees re-
port Mr. Henry Williams, (colored), cried
mot ready and came to the front. His
theme was the lack of recognition received
by the colored Republicans. In appointing
the committee to report the names of dele
gates to Norfolk the Chairman had failed
to put single colored man on it. The COM
mittee are all good Republicans but we,
colered Republicans, want to mix up some.

BODY OF A WOMAN FOUND.

resented By the Killing and Dissec-
tion.
LONDON, Sept. 1O.-At $50 o'clock this
morning policeman found the body Of a
fallen woman lying at tho corner of the
railway arch, on Cable street, Whitechape
An examination of the remains showed
that the head and legs had been cut Off and
carried away and the stomach ripped
open. The intestines were lying on the
ground A Gordon of police instantly sur
rounded the spot, but no arrests had been
made up to 8 o'clock this morning. Police
men always pass this spot every fifteen
minutes, Those on duty last night say
they saw nothing suspicious.
TOOK LONG TINE.
The physicians who examined the body
state tnat In the opinion the murder and
mutilatlon occupied nearly an hour. 1t is
surmlSed that the murderer carried off the
head and legs in bag. The murder is the
worst OF the whole series of Whitechapel
murders. The manner in which the limbs
the murderer was possessed of some surgical
skill. The woman was about 80 years old
her clothing was shabby and she was evi-
IDENTITY spirit drinker. The remains have
not been identified.
INTENSE EXCITEMENT.
Most intense excitement again prevails
in White Chapel. Crowds surround the
morgue i'll which the body lies now. There
was no blood on the ground where the body
was found neither was there any blood IN
bIdy. From this it is evident that the
murder was committed in some other place
and the body subsequently deposited under
the railway arch. The trunk was nude. A
rent and bloody chemise was found living
! near the body. The arms were
intact. 1t is believed that the woman has
been dead for two days. Three sailors who
were sleeping under the arch next to the
one uuder which the body was found were
taken Into custody by the police. They
| convinced the authorities, however, that
they had seen or heard nothing of sus-
| picious nature and were discharged.

Passaic, Lieutenant Comm 4nder w. w.
Fitzpatrick commanding, left here this
morning at o'clock to take part in the
sham attack on Fort McHenry. Of Sandy
Point heavy weather was encountered.
The Passaic was towing the steam launch
Swan, which had banked her fires.
The launch was filing with water from
the heavy seas, and an attempt was made
TO take the launch aboard the ship, but the
davits would not hold it. The launch filed
with water and went down. Seaman John
H. Bush was aboard and a floating whale
boat was dispatched after him and picked
him up, but the boat was unable to regain
the ship, which was then at anchor. The
last seen of the whale boat it was drifting
down the bay. 1t is supposed it is safe.
1t contained Ensign II. G. Dresse!,
David Moore, Frederick Carr, and Parker
and Scott, seamen. 1t Is expected that the
whale boat VIII be picked up at Thomas
Point or the mouth of South river to-mOr-
row. Boatswain Sinclair will go after the
boat at daylight tomorrow. The launch
was buoyed and will undoubtedly be re-
covered. The accident occurred at noon.
The Passaic returned to Annapolis at 6
o'clock this evening.

THE ADIRONDACK.
The Agents Write the Secretary OF
State About the Vessel.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-Messrs. PIN,
Forwood & Co., agents of the Atlas Stanm-
ship Company, of New York, have written
a letter to the Secretary OF State calling
his attention to the newspaper reports to
the effect that the ship Adirondack had left
the port of Colon for New York with yell
low fever on board, the statement being
based upon report said TO have been sent
to the department of state by the United
States consul at Colon.
CAUSES ANXIETY.
"You will readily perceive" they write,
that this report, which has fortunately
proved to have been entirely without foun-
dation, was the cause Of considerable anx-
iety ON our part, not only on account of the
passengers and crew, but also on account of
the large and valuable cargo of bananas,
which the term of quarantine would have
inevitably destroyed"
They say the appearance of such a report
is likely to do some injury IN the future, and
request the department that if the United
States consul did so report, such stens be
taken as will insure his getting in the future
more reliable information before sending
on his official dispatches.
LETTER FROM BARRANQUILLA.
The department of state is also in receipt
of communication from the United States
consul at Colon, who transmits a letter
fr m the United States consul at Barran-
qCula, in regard TO the ship Adirondack.
The letter from Barranqailla is dated Aug.
20, and is in pare af follows: A young lady,
Miss Addle c. Ramsay, came from New
York, via Port au Prince on the
Adirondack. The second day after
her arrival she was taken i'll. On the fourth
day it developed as yellow fever Of the
most malignant type. She died last night,
and was buried at o'clock this morning.
The Adirondack had sailed before this was
announced. AS usual, the liue to Car
thagena is not in order, Sc |
have no recourse except TO
ask you to transmit notice by
telegram to the department TO forestall the
arr val of the ship at New ork. If the
snip had the germs of the disease on Board
previous to her arrival here, the hides and
bananas and her devious route by Colon
and Port Liman, makes me extremely
anxious in regard TO the passengers that
went from here, especially Dougherty and

Accounts for the Disaster.
ANTWERP, Sept 10.-The estimates of the
loss by the recent fire range from %, 100000
to 35,0O0000 francs. No public building
was injured. The damage to the bourse
was insignificant. The fire still shoulders
over large area, which is surrounded by
cordons of troops. The firemen are work
ing nignt and day pouring floods of water
upon the ruins. Ten persons who
ventured too near the runs have met with
accidents, due 10 occasional explosions OF
cartridges. The vessels in the dock owe
their safety to the favorable direction OF
the wind, which continues to blow toward
the open river. Some steamers in the dry
dock are badly damaged ab ut the decks.
THE CHARGE AGAINST CoRyILLAN.
NJ. Corvillan, the proprietor of the cart,
ridge factory is charged with homicide by
imprudence. His defense is that the fire
originated in the petroleum sheds, and
caused the explosion in the cartridge fac
tory. Large subscriptions to the relief fund
have been received. King Leopold heads
the list with 1900 francs Relief fetcs and
performances have been given In Brussels,

TERRIBLE TRAIN WRECKS.

Ferslstent Attempts to Bring About
DISASTER at Watsontown on the Bal
tlmore and Ohio Railroad - Three
trains Brought to Stop With Great
Dlnculty Just in Time to Save Them.
FlrTSBURG, Pa, Sept. 10-SeveraI at
tsmpts have recently been made to wreck
passenger trains on tie Baltimore and
ONO road, and at most dangerous place,
TOO. Last Saturday evening the fast ex-
press from Wheeling, due in this city at 9
O'Clock, had very narrow escape near
"atsontown. This is only a short
distance from the Mononyahela river.
Ihere IS heavy down grade to
the river, and the train was spinning
around a curve at the rate of fifty miles an
hour The engineer, who is one OF the most
careful on the roat, was keeping as sharp a
lockout as possible, when he observed a lot
OF ties piled upon tie track.
FACE TO FACE WITH DEATH.
My God, he exclaimed to his fireman,
as ne quickly reversed his engine, 'l'm
afraid we're gone See that Obstruction ON
the track" The train for the first second
or two appeared.not to yield to the terrible
oraKe pressure. II was an awful moment.
Inc engineer and fireman remained bravely
at their posts. the train slowed up. but
could not be brought 20 a standstill
before 1t struck the ties across the track.
There was a slight shock, but no damage
was done. The obstruction was removed.
d the train proceeded TO this city The
passengers were not aware of the great
danger they had escaped, or how close they
had come to being plunged over an embank-
QlelC into the crack baiOyy
SIMILAR EXPERIENCE.
Last night the eastern express had an
almost similar experience near the same
place. Ties were placed upon the track
just beyond the curve, in order that the
engineer might not see them in uime to stop
his train. 1t just happened that he was
running very Slowly and when he
observed the death trap a short distance
ahead, III fact few yards, he reversed his
engine, applied the air brakes and sue
ceeded In stopping the train. About a
month ago the Chicago express, which runs
at very lively rate between Wheeling and
Plttsburg, was almost wrecked near Claws
vile, Washington county Luck was on
the side Of the trdinmen aud passengers
again.
PUT THERE IN DAYLIGHT.
The obstructions on the track near Wat
sontown mad in each case been placed there
apparently in daylight. The railroad men
IN the vicinity OF Glenwood are keeping O.
sharp lookout. There are some pretty
rough characters residing in the vicinity Of
WatSontown. They are being closely
watched, and it is pretty safe to say that If
they are observed putting any more OBJ
structlons upon the track, thev will not
llve long enough to realize what fends they
are.
