LONDON, Sept. lO.-As $50 O'Clock this
morning the police found the body of
fallen woman lying at the corner of the
railway arch on Cable street, Whitechapel-
Examination OF the remains showed that
the head and arms had been cut eff and
carried away; the stomach had been opened
and the intsstines were lying on the
ground A CT rdOn of police instantly sur
rounded the spot. but no arrests up to a.

spot every fifteen minutes, and those on
duty last night say they saw nothing sns-
piciOus-
The physicians who examined the body
state that in their opinion the murder and
mutilatinn occupied nearly an hour IL Is
surmised that the murderer carried of the
head anu arms in a bag. The murder is
the worst of the whole series of the White
chapel horrors. The manner in which the
limbs were severed from the body shows
that the murderer posse ssed some surgical
skill The woman was about 80 ears old
Her clothing WAS shabby, and she evident
ly was a great driuker. The remains have
not been identified. The most intense ex-
citement prevails in Whitecbapel and
crowds surround the mOrtuary in which
the body lies.
There was 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 subsequently deposited under
A torn and bloody chemtse was found near
the body. The arms were intact but the
legs were missing. IL is belle sed the woman

DESvER. Sept 10.-Specisl cOuners
sent from Denver to the scene Of the coal

The mine is situated one mile from
Golden and produces from fifty TO one hun
dTed tons Of coal per day. The men who
lost their lives were at work in the bottom
II the shaft, 73O feet down, and were 500
feet from the shaft. The drift runs along

not the slightest hope OF rescuine any Of
the eleven men alive, and it will require
days If not weeks Of hard work 70 reach

to start The pumps. Around the entrance
OF the mine are huddled together the
