A SCHEME TO HUMILIATE THE KICKERs.
"A Richmond special to the World says
Gen. Malone has been visited by a number
of his friends throughout the State to urge
him to stand for the nomination of ais
party for Governor.
A number of Republican papers through
out the State have already adverted to the
nomination of the little man with hatehet
who chopped down all who oppose him. If
he should be named by the convention he
will give his party CHECKERS" such a kick
that they will never be heard of any more.
The shrewdness of the move is plain to
the initiated, for if Gen. Malone is the Re-
publican nominee, it forces the CHECKERS"
to support him. Refusing to do so the
President will naturally refuse to recognise
them and the patronage of Virginia be-
comes the property of Gen. Malone.

4 MOST SINGULAR BIRTHMARK.-A

A MOST SINGULAR BIRTHlIARK.-A
singular freak of nature has presented itself
in Ell Paso. On Sunday Mrs. T. Howard,
of that place, witnessed balloon ascension,
and on the succeeding Tuesday presented
Mr.. Howard with nice little boy, which
bears singular birthmark, which is moth
ing more nor less than perfect representa-
ton of the balloon. The photograph, as
it might be called, is located just above the
eyes on the forehead, and every outline of
the balloon is boldly portrayed in purple
lines in the skin of the infant. Even the
patch on tie air ship can be seen, being re-
produced by patch of white skin. The
photograph is perfect. Mr.. Howard and
wife went to Ell Paso with the Mexican
theatrical company, and are we'll known to
the profession. Trinidad CAL AdUertise't

THE Widest SCHEME OF PILLAeE.-
The Boston Civil-Service Record, four of
whose board of seven editors voted for Har-
rison, gives it as its opinion that the pres
emit distribution Of patronage "may be call
ed, without exaggeration, the widest
scheme of anarchy and pillage of govern
ment offices that has been presented to the
eyes Of the younger generation" Up to
May IS, it points out, there had been $500
new appointments, against only 1000 for
the same time under Cleveland. at this
rate only sixteen months would be required
to make an absolutely clean sweep of every
body in Office on March 4. In one week
more fourth-class postmasters have been
changed in Indiana than in the whole year
ending June 30, 1888.

DEATH BY ELECTRICITY.
Horrible Fate of an Italian Who
Grasped an Electric Light Wire.

Joseph Matz, an Italian fruit vender
at the corner Of East Houston aud
Chrystie streets, New York, was killed
Sept, 18th, by coming in contact with
"liye" electrlet light wire OF the
United States Illuminating Co. Tho
manner Of Mates death was horrible
and peculiar. The awning over his
stand had become chopped with mud
drippings from the roof OF the corner
building, and Matz, while attempting
to remove this accumulation, lost his
footing, and to stay his fall grasped u
wire near the edge Of the awning. The
recent heavy rains had soaked the in
sulation OF the wires and he was inter-
ally burned to n horrible mass. A
spectator attempted to bring Matz to
the street and received n severe shock
the moment he touched the body. AZ
ter delay OF ten minutes two iinemen
appeared and after cutting tho wires
removed the body. The hand which
clutched the wire was burned TO the
bone and other parts OF the body which
had come in contact with the network
of line wires presented slckening APP
pearance. An ambulance surgeon who
was summoned said that death was al
most instantaneous.

JACK THE RIPPER"
The Body Of. Another Fallen Woman
Found-HorribIy Mutiiated.

At 1880 on the morningof Sept. 10th
the London noliee found the body OF II
fallen woman lying at the corner OF
the railway arch, ON Cable street,
White Chapel. 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
lying on the ground. A Gordon OF
police instantly surrounded the spot,
but no arrests have been made. The
police, who passed the spot every
fifteen minutes, state that they saw
nothing suspicious. The physicians
who examined the body state that In
their opinion tho murder and mutila-
tion had occupied nearly an hour. 1t
is surmised that the murderer carried
off the head and legs in a bag. The
manner in which the limbs were sew
cred from the body shows that the
murderer was possessed OF some sur
gical skill. The woman was about 80
years old. Her clothing was shabby
and she was evidently spirit drinker.

The most intense excitement prevails
in the White Chapel and crowds sur
round the mortuary where the body
lies. No blood was on the ground
where the body was found nor was
there any blood on the body. From
this it was evident that the murder
was committed in some other place and
that the body was subsequently, de-
posted under the railway arch. Tho
trunk was nude and a torn and bloody
chemise was found lying near by. 1t
is believed that the woman had been
dead 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 author
tiles. however. that they had heard or
seen nothing OF suspicious nature
and they were discharged
