chapel Resuming Its wonted Look.
LONDON, July 23.-Strange TO relate no ac-
ever been published. Yet he was seen by two
persons who know him as the Ripper, and
the information given by these TO the police
the latter have kept until it was secured by a
reporter from ono Of the pair. The Ripper's
first botched job was accomplished Nov. 81
at No. 10 George street, Whitechapel. There
he attempted to murder Ozark Sarah but
only succeeded in cutting her throat, as the
woman was unusually strong Ozark Sarah
met him at a public house, aud remembers
him well. She was kept out of sight by the
police until her case was overshadowel by
the Rippers successful efforts at murder.
Where she now is is not known.
Frank Ruffel Saw Jack.
The other person who saw the Ripper i
Frank Ruifell, the driver of a green grocer's
wagon. He is a level headed young man Of
about 25; his identity has been closely con
cealed by the police Ruffell said: "On the
morning when the trouble took place at No,

mustache, cut of square at the ends. 1t was
neither very thicK nor very thin-about
medium. He was about three inches taller
than am am feet 4. He had a straight
nose of medium siza 1t did not turn up 1t
was just an ordinary nose. did not notice
his eyes particularly, but should think from
the color Of his mustache that they were blue
"When he came out by the door he was
buttoning the top button Of his coat II was
a cutaway coat He had no collar on. He
put his band up to his mouth, which was
bleeding on It's right side. As he passed me
be looked at me with sort OF smile, and
muttered a vile remark / said nothing
| Dust after he passed me he began TO run.
Then hoard cry IN No 10 and l saw a
woman come down. She said TO stop the
man and l stArted after him By this time
