WIFE MURDER.
Jack the Ripper" Thought to
be Captured at Last.
Mutilated Remains Of a Woman
Found at Dundee.
The Husband of the Victim
Under Arrest.

OGDEN, Utah, Feb. 1.-THE most i'm
portant election that has ever taken place
in Utah took place to-day. 1t was a fight
by the gentiles, or the Liberal party for a
foCthold in the territory by the election of
a mayor and council, and the new city
hall was crowded at all its entrances,
where the election proceed ed at four diff
terent ballot boxes. The city voted as a
Whole and not by wards, and to accommo-
date the large number Of voters four vot-
ing places were necessary. The Nor
mons. or the Peoples party, now have
the offices of the city, and at daylight
brass bands and drum corps were prone
nading the streets. With the beginning
OF the voting a system OF intimidation
commenced on the part of the Mormons
by arresting Gentiles before they had a
chance to vote and hurrying them off to
jail, This was anticipated by the oppo-
site party, who had troops quartered in
the Broom hotel across Che street. The
marshal at once stopped the arrests until
the voter had a chance to tender his vote
and be passed upon by the Judges. After
this the election passed off quietly. The
result will not be determined before mid
night.
The result of to-day's election is a COM
plete victory for the Liberal or gentle
party. Keisel, candidate for mayor, is
elected by a majority of 440. The balance
of the ticket, including the full city coun-
Gil and chief of police, has about the same
majority. The g~entiles are iubilant over
the result.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE japanese
minister to-day received a telegram from
the minister of foreign affairs at Japan
saying that the constitution OF thesempire
was proclaimed by the emperor in person
this morning amid great enthusiasm.
Representative Grosvenor to-day offered
a lengthy preamble and resolution relating
to the recent events in the second con-
gressional district in Arkansas which cul.
minated in the assassination of Hon. John
NJ. Clayton.
Senator Stanford to day proposed an
amendment to the army appropriation
bill authorizing the secretary of war to
purchase four fifteen inch pneumatic
guns with the necessary apparatus for
firing and carriage to be located in
San Francisco harbor.
The secretary of war to-day transmitted
to the house statements of the chief sig
nal officer of the army setting forth the
very unsatisfactory condition of the sig
nal corps and the unsuficiency of the
present lieutenants of that corps. Gen.
Greedy urges the passage of the ~reorgani-
zation bill for the improvement of the
service generally.

ton he would occupy after the 4th of

Shutting Out the Governor.

BISMARCK, OAK, Feb. 1.-The war
between Governor Church and the legis-
lature is still on. There were several
measures proposed by different members
as a means of defeating the governor by
securing his immediate dismissal from his
position, but the code OF the house consid-
cred them to be not advisable just now.
However, a resolution was adopted unani-
mously which will have the effect of cut
ting off one way the governor had to re-
turn the fire of the legislature. This res
olution declares that no communications
foreign to the business of the legislature
and territory hal be read to the house
and the speaker and clerk are to be made
sole judges Of what reports shall be re-
ceived. The avowed purpose OF tho res
olution is to prevent the governor from
making another such attack as on Satur-
day. when he went for the Legislature
and his own predecessor without gloves.
The feeling in the matter grows more
bitter all the time and there is some strong
talk of adjournment until a successor to
Governor Church shall have been ap-
pointed. This action had about been
given up until the recent engagement and
now the Republicans in the house and
council are willing to do almost anything
to defeat Governor Church.

.ELECTI0N.IN OGDEN.
A Complete and Sweeping Vic
tory for the Gentiles.
Their Candidate for Mayor has
a Majority of 440.
The Full City Council and Chief
of Police Elected.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE body OF a
woman in a chest was discovered by the
police of Dundee. The abdomen was
ripped open and otherwise mutilated.
The chest was so small that the murderer
had been compelled to squeeze the body
into it. The husband of the woman has
been arrested.
A dispatch from Dundee says: The
murderer Of the woman whose mutilated
remains were found in a chest there to-
day is W.. Ii. Bury, the husband of the
victim. Bury was a resldent of White
chapel, London, and his antecedents,
which have been traced, suggest that he
is probably Jack the Ripper" and that
he is subjects TO fits of unconscious muir
der.
lie post norton examination held on
the body of the Dundee victim proved
that the woman had been found straugled
and her body then mutilated, the abdo-
men being opened and the legs and arms
twisted and broken.
Bury says he left Whitechapel three
weeks ago. He refuses to say why he
left there and acknowledges that he had
no business requiring his attention at
Dundee. He says that he and his wife
uiauh hSaNly last ulRuJ DelOre recurring
and that he does not know how he got to
bed. Upon awakening, he says, he found
his wife dead upon the floor with a rope
around her neck. Actuated by a sudden
mad impulse for which he cannot account
he seized a knife and slashed the body.
Upon his reason returning he became
alarmed and hastily crushed the body into
the chest in which it was found. thinking
to fly and make his escape. He found,
however, that he could not leave his wife's
remains and finally he resolved to inform
the police.
The theory of the police officials is that
Bury's wife knew OF the facts connecting
him with the East End atrocities and she
took him to Dundee in the hope of pre-.
venting his arrest for the crimes.

winter Tourist Rates.

During the past spring and summer our
Southern brethren have thronged into
Colorado, and after climbing our peaks,
exploring our canyons and s~nowballing In
midsummer to their hearts content, re-
turned delighted with our scenic attrac-
tons, and charmed by the spirit of hearty
hospitality with which they were wei
coined. Now it should be our duty, and
a pleasant one, to return these visits.
The Fort Worth railroad has given us the
opportunity. Their advertising depart
ment has Just issued a pamphlet entitled
Winter Tourist Routes and Rates from
the Summit to the Sea-" giving reduced
excursion rates for this winter season and
a number of different routes through the
South.
Uoloradoans cannot justly plead the
necessity of escaping from a severe winter,
but many of them would be pleased with
the change to a semi. tropical climate
where the flowers p%erpetually bloom. and
a visit to places of such historic interest
as Houston, Austin, Galveston, San An.
tonic or New Orleans. Or, if they should
wish stranger or more tropical climes,
these routes include a trip to such interest
ing old places as Monterey, Saltillo and
the City of Mexico. Full particulars may
be obtained by addressing Geo. Ady, gem
eral passenger and ticket agent of the
Denver. Texas & Forth Worth railroad,
or the Union Pacific ticket agent at
Cheyenne.
