Another Woman's Body Horribly Mutilated
Discovered at Daybreak.
LONDON, Sept 1O.-At $50 this morning a
policeman found the body of a fallen woman
lying at the corner of q railway arch on Cable
ST., White Chapel. An examination of the re-
mains showed that the head and arms had been
cut off and carried away and the stomach
ripped open, the intestines lying on the ground
A Gordon of police instantly surrounded The
spot, hut no arrests have up to this hour Is a.
m.) been made. Policemen pass the spot every
fifteen minutes. Those on duty last night say
they saw nothing suspicious. The physicians
who examined the body state that, in their
opinion, the murderer's mutilaton occupied
nearly an hour.
1t is surmised that the murderer carried off
the head and arms in bag. The murder is
the worst of the whole series of White Chapel
murders. The manner in which the limbs had
been severed from the body shows that the
murderer was possessed of some surgical skill.
The woman was about thirty years old. Her
clothing was shabby, and she was evidently a
spirit drinker.
The remains have not been identified. The
most intense excitement again prevails IN
White Chapel. Crowds surroundthe mortuary
in which the body lies. Later details concern
ing the finding OF the body of the murdered
woman show that there was no blood on the
ground where the body was found, neither was
there any blood on the body.
From this it Is evident that the murder was
committed in some other place, and that the
body subsequently deposited under the
railway arch. The trunk was nude. rent
and bloody chemise was found lying near the
body. The arms were intact. but the legs were
missing.
II is believed that the woman has heen Head
for two days. Three sailors, who were sleeping
under the arch next to the one under 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 a suspicious nature, and they were dis

A Peculiar Ruling by the Court.

CHICAGO, Sept. 16-When the Cronin trial
was resumed this morning Lawyer Forrest, for
the defense, on behalf of Dan Coughlin, chal-
lenged the special venire of jurymen on the
ground that the regular panel had not yet been
exhausted. He said that in the trials CT Nc
Donald and McGarrigle, in the celebrated
Doodle trial, which resulted in their convic-
ton, that every two weeks they had the
regular panel which used up before special
venre was resumed. Forests objections were
overruled. The judge sustained the challenge
of a juror who was opposed TO capital punish
ment, but believed life imprisonment worse
than death.

Ohio Homes Desolated by a Premium
Award at Fair.
WEST UNION o., Sept 1.-THE biggest
premium at the Manchester fair, last week, was
SIS for the best loaf of salt rising bread and it
stirred up big row. Nearly every woman in
Adams county, and many from adjoining
counties, who were at all versed in the culinary
art must have tried for the blue RIB
bon, as loaves upon loaves were piled up. The
directors finally prevailed on some parties
to assume the risk of tying the ribbon. After
the premium was awarded il was discovered
that one of the judges was related to the sue
cessful exhibitor, and, of course, this created
big racket. New judges had to be selected, and
the ribbon was tied the second time. The un-
successful exhibitors did not quiet down, how
ever. They declared the judges did not know
anything about bread, no how" More than
one hundred families are at swords points and
at least one engagement has been declared of.
Scarcely day passes without fight, and the
whole country is worked UP over the affair.

KILLED BY A FALLING WALL
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT LOUISVILLE.
Big Wholesale Dry Goods House De-

Ki1ed-Guests In Hotels Taken
From Windows on Ladders.

LOUISVILLE, Sept 15.-Bamberger, Bloom &
Co.'s wholesale dry goods house, one OF the
three largest in the city, burned tonight A
number of firemen were caught under falling
wall and killed. The following bodies have
been recovered:
ED EARLY, captain.
SAM STACKLIGHTER,
JOHN MONAHAN-
ED WHEELER
8 PAT FOLEY.
They were working close up in the rear when
the walls fell and they were crushed beneath.
The bodies were dreadfully mangled.
The building fronts on Main-st., between
Sixth and Seventh. The alarm struck at 11:10
o'clock and in ten minutes flames were bursting
from the windows on the third floor. Five
minutes later part of the roof went in. The
fire department was out in full force promptly,
and ten minutes after the first alarm half
dozen streams were playiag on the burning
building, but it was soon clear that nothing could
save it and the hose was turned upon the Louis
vile hotel, two doors away. That building
was smoking, and it was sharp
haIf-hour's fight to make its safety
reasonably sure. The guests of the Louisville
as we'll as of Seelbach's hotel, at the corner of
the block, poured out. A number, mostly
frightened servants, were taken from the sec
ond and third stories in the rear by the means
of ladders. They Joined at once the crowd of
sight-seers which gathered in half an hour to
the number of 10000.
The fire originated in Bamberger, Bloom &
Co.'s cellar, and Watchman McGrath, who
turned in the alarm, saws the whole cellar was
aglow when he discovered it. AN explosion
occurred soon after and the fireman just
rived was knocked over by it, but not hurt.
A conservative estimate of the loss on stock
is S750,0OO The insurance is heavy and viii
about cover the loss. 1t is placed in sums
from $4,000 to $4,000, distributed among
nearly all companies represented here.
The building was double six story, owned
by the firm and valued at $4,000. The fire is
slowly eating both ways and may reach
Seventh-st. on the west side. The fire is now
completely under control and there will be no
further loss.
