Another London Horror.

Early Tuesday morning q policeman found

ner of a railway arch on Cable street, White
chapel. Londan. The head apd arms had
been cut cff AID carried uway and the stom.
acl, ripped open. the intestines lying ON the
ground. Police pass tho spot every fifteen
minutes. Those on duty ut night say they
saw nothing suspicious. The physicians who
examined the body state that in their opinion
the murder and mutilation occupied nearly
nm hour. It tis surmised that the murderer
carried off the hend and arms in bug. The
murder is the worst of the whole series OF
Whiterha apel murders. The manner in which
tho limbs hnd been severed from the hody

years old Her clothing was shabby. aud
she was evidently II spirit drinker. The re-
mains have not be identified. The most in.
tense excitement again prevails in White
chapel. There was no blood oh the ground
any blood 2n the body. From this it is
evident that the lnurdor WINS committed in
some other place, and thnt the body wus
subsequently deposited undef the 'railTYy
arch. Phe trunk was nude rent and
bloody chemise was found lying near the
body. The arms were intact, but the legs
were missing. 1t s believed that the woman
has been dend for two days.
Although the murder is generally spoken

conclusion that this murder is not by the
