Under the provisions Of this section, the
Board of County Commissioners of Lyon
county certified that the expenses of the
county amounted to the sum of $I,o32 IS,
and demanded OF the Controller his warrant
therefor. The demand was refused, and
thereuPon reiator commenced this proceed

the warrant.
The petition alleges, among other things,
that the State Board OF Examiners audited

The question is whether the Legislature
can require the Controller to draw his war

whether the State Board OF Examiners, un-

have audited the claim.

Another Victim of the White Chapel
FIend.

LONDON. Sept. 10.-At $50 o'clock this
morning the police found the body of q
fallen woman lying at the corner of the
railway arch on Cable street, White Chapel.
Examination of the remains showed that
the head and arms had been cut off and
carried away; the stomach had been opened
and the intestines were lying on the
ground. A Gordon of police instantly sur
rounded the spot, but no arrests up to a.
m. have been made. The policemen pass
the spot every fifteen minutes and those
on duly last night say they saw nothing
suspicious.
The physicians who examined the body
state that in their opinion the murder and
mutilation occupied nearly an hour. 1t is
surmised that the murderer carried off the
head arms in a bag. The murder is the
worst whole series Of White Chapel horror.
The manner which the limbs were severed
from the body shows that the murderer
possessed some surgical skill. The woman was
ABOUT 81 years old. her cl0tnlrg was snaD-
by, and she evidently was great drinker.
The remains have not been identified. The
most intense excitement prevails in White
Chapel. Crowds surround the mor,uary
in which the body lies.
NooN-Later details show there are no
blood on the ground where the body was
found nor any on the body. From this it
is evident that the murder was committed
in some other place and the body subse-
quently deposited under the railway arch.
The trunk was nude. A torn and bloody
chemise was found near the body The
arms were intact but the legs were missing.
1t is believed the woman had been dead
two days.

Another New Locomotive.

Another revolutionary locomotive has
been devised. 1t is to have two boilers
one above the other, and engine and tender
are to be incased in a. shell of thin iron,
tapering off to point in front the whole
machine being rs feet long and weighing
in working order 913 tons. Thus it will
be 90 feet longer and l12 tons heavier than
the biggest European locomotive yet turned
out. 1t is to have two pairs of cylinders
15l by 199 inches in diameter, or more
than twice the.size of our large passenger
engine drivers. Great power and great
speed are both claimed for this novel COM
bination of parts and proportions, the
ordinary gate being modestly placed at
seventy-fve miles an hour, but this beir Q
capable of increase to ninety-two miles an
hour. This engine has been patented in
France by Hungarian engineer named M
Ala Besthy.

WILKEsBARRE, September 10.--The peo
pie of this city tonight were considerably
agitated by sharp shock of earthquake
which occurred at 815 o'clock. The build
ipgs here, in Ashley, Kingston, Pittston
and surrounding towns, ,trembled for several
seconds vigorously enough to rattle the
glassware and crockery and in some cases
to throw them to the floor. No persons
were injured 80 far as is known.
At about the time the shock was felt
here an extensive cave in took place at
Plymouth, three miles from here. At 11:30
this evening it is reported from there that
five acres or more of the Delaware & Hud-
son mine surface had gone down. There
was no one at work at the time.

Caught in the storm.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, September 1O.-The
monitor Passaic left this morning to take
part in the sham attack on Ft. McHenry.
When off Sandy Point heavy weather was
encountered. The Passaic was towing the
steam launch Juan, which had banked its
fires The launch was filling with water
from the heavy seas and an attempt was
made to take the launch aboard ship, but
the davitts would not hold it. The launch
filled with water and went down. Seaman
Rush was aboard and floating. A whale
boat was dispatched after him and picked
him up, but the boat was unable to regain
a hold The last seen of the whale boat it
was drifting down the bay. The boat con
tanned Ensign Dressed, David Moore, Frank
Carr and Seamen Parker and Scott. 1t is
expected the whale boat will be picked up
at Thomas Point.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., September 1o.-Mr.
Frank Crook, in the constitutional con-
vention to-day, presented q resolution that

The Man to Knock Out Snlliyan.

wheeling wv Va.) IntellgencerI
Matt Kramer, of Putnam county, this
State, who is supposed by men who know
him to be the strongest man in the civil
ized world, is attracting the attention OF
the sporting world far and near. One OF
his recent feats, in which almost super
human strength is called into account, was
witnessed only few days ago by num-
Der of citizens. He raised, apparently with
the greatest ease, huge pedestal, weigh
ing 1900 pounds, and held it aloft above
his head for several seconds. Mr. Kramer
is over six feet in height, and tips the
beam at 285 pounds. 1t has been frequently
asserted by papers in this section of the
State that he could take Sullivan with one
hand and thrash the Boston baked beans
out of him with the other. There are men
in this country who will stake $1,000 that
he is the the strongest human being in ex-
istence to-day.

Opposed to Woman Suffrage.

DENVER, September 1O.-The Republi.

constitutional convention the majority re.
fused to permit the incorporation of q
womsn's suffrage clause in the article re.
latipg to elective franchise, whereupon
the handful for the right of women TO vote
undertook to delay final action on the arti.
Gle Those in favor of Withholding suffrage
from all persons who shall engage in prize
fighting also made a vigorous contest to
incorporate their views in the article, but
the report of the committee, as amended
was adopted without those additions
The committees on legislative affairs
corporations, taxation and the bill of rights
were also made up in reports which were
caIendared to come up in the regular order
The afternoon was consumed in acting
upon the report Of the committee on execu.
tive affairs.

Railroad Tracks Washed Away.

PHILADELPHIA, September 10.-From
Bayhead to Atlantic City the damage done
both by the winds and waves has been un-
precedented On the coast between Sea-
side Park and Kerkley the railroad has
been washed away so that no trains can be
run. At noon to-day the telegraph opera
tor had to travel knee deep in the water
from the railroad station to reach Morris
grocery store, and the people are leaving
fast. Beach Haven, Barnegat Longbeach,
Harvey Cedars and other points along the
beach are inundated and the railroad is
washed away in many places.

THE BEEF COMBINE.
Testim Ony of 8. B. ArmOnr Before the
Senate Committee.

KANSAS CITY, September 10.-The Sem
atorial investigation committee resumed
its sessions to-day. s. B. Armour, head of
the Armour Packing company of this city
took the stand. He said he had no agree.
ment with the railroads by which he got
lower rates on shipments than any other
firm. Witness said he was not member
of any combination whose purpose was to
control either the prices of cattle or
dressed meat. The territory was not
divided up between the packers All the
packers were in all the markets The COM
petition was so brisk in fact that even he
and his brother often cut each other in
business. Did he hsve any knowledge of
any combination in Chicago, Senator Vest
asked He said he had no connection with
Armour, of Chicago, anyhow. Did Mr..
Armour know of any agreement between
railroads and beef packers? He was sure
the rates to all packers we're practically on
the same basis. Before the close of his tes-
timony he reverted to the question of COM
petition between the packers, saying that it
was so brisk that there was little profit in
the dressed meat business.

FireprOof Houses in Buenos Ayres

They build freproof houses in Buenos
Ayres and Montevideo without thinking of
it, and while using all the wood they can
afford TO- and they use neither iron nor the
arch. Trees are very scarce in the neigh
borhood, and timber has to be brought
down from the upper waters in hard woods.
Being dear, q little of it il made to 90 as
far as possible The floors and the roofs
are supported by joists of hard wood, as
among MS; across these are laid fiat rails of
the same, and the spaces between these are
bridged over by thin bricks thirteen inches
and half long, with their ends rested on
the rails; another long layer Of bricks is
then laid with lime, and generally on this
q layer of fiat tiles. The doors and win
dows have no boxes, but simply frames,
which are set up when the walls are going
up and built in. There is no lathing or
wainscot, or skirting of the bottom of the
walls. A house thus built cannot be
burned.
