and clear cut, new in colorings, and
differ greatly from last seasons favor

Another Whitechapel Horror

LONDON, Sept. 10.-At $50 O'Clock this
morning policeman found the body OF a
fallen woman lying at the corner Of e rail.
way arch on Cable street, Whitechspel. An
examination of the remains showed that the
head and arms had been cut off and ried
away and the stomach ripped open, the in.
testines lying on the ground. A Gordon OF
police surrounded the SCOT, but no arrests
have Up to this hours q. NJ, been made.
Policemen pass the spot every fifteen min
utes. Those on duty last night say they saw
nothing suspicious. The physicians who
examined the body state that in their opin
ion the murder and mutiation occupied
nearly an hour Il Is surmised that the
murderer carried off the head and arms in
bag. The murder ia the worst of the
whole series of Whitechapel murders. The
manner in which the limbs had been sever
ed from the body shows that the murderer
was possessed of some surgical skill. The
woman was about 80 years old. Her cloth
ing was shabby and che Was evidently 8

murder was committed in some other place,
aud the body was subsequently, deposited
under the railway arch. The trunk was
nude. A rent and bloody chemise was
found lying near the body. The arms
were intact, but the legs we're missing. 1t
is believed that the woman hes been dead
for two days Three sailors who were sleep

BRUTAL MURDER-A brutal and horrible
murder was committed yesterday morning
at LeConey's mill, two miles beyond Mer,
cbantville, n. ]. Annie Elizabeth LeConey
the twenty eight-year-old niece and house
keeper of Chalkley LeConey, the miller,
had her throat cut from ear to ear by a
brute, who fist attempted to assault her,
and who, after the murder, added robbery
to his more Gendish crime. The murder was
committed early in the morning when all
but Annie had gone into the field to work
Il Is evident that there was desperate
struggle, and that the woman had fought
desperately with the murderer, whose de-
signs we're of most Infamous character.
Der clothing was nearly torn of in the
struggle. The attempts OF the brute to
feloniously Assault her and her struggles
against this probably caused him to take her
lie. After committing the crime the muir.
derer went up stairs and ransacked the bed
rooms for money. The supposed murderer
was afterwards arrested.
