THE "RIPPER" MYTH.
The Air Full of Rumors of Cary
ing Cases.

q
The "Jack the Ripper" myth which
has been thrust upon the timid public
seems to be running rampant. Yester
day the air was so full OF rumors OIL
carving scrapes that had all been trus
our streets would by now be flowing
with gore.
Fortunately, but two of these blood
curdling yarns can be traced to any
thing like probability. and even these
have ct least slight odor of fish about
them.
The first OF these occurred, if it did
occur, shortly after O'Clock on Sunday
morning, the victim being Night Clerk
| Fewgate, of the Cullen Hotel. Mr..
Fewgate's story is that, at the hour
| named, he heard some one trying to
| open the door at the ladies' entrance
Stepping outside he saw q medium
sized mao there. This clerk requested
the fellow to get away from there and
the reply was slash across the fore
head with knife. The two mer
clinched and when the clerk got away
cut down the front and his shirt front
|
navy blue coat sleeve with blood on 1t
gates theory is that he tore this from
his assallant during the tussle.
The other story is related by man
named Morgan, a mail carrier in the
employ of Bill Shovel Morgan says
that be was passing along the north
side of the Eighth Ward Square after
II O'Clock Sunday night, when a man
stepped out from the gateway and
slashed at him with knife. making a
slight cut in his face. He escaped and
went home, procured a butcher knife
and returned, only to be assaulted
again. This time Morgan sleshed, Iodg-
| ing his carver in the hip of his antag-
onist. He tried to pull his knife out,
but it wouldn't come so he gave it a
| twist, snapped the blade and ran of
| with the handle.
The incredulous part of the Fewgate
| tragedy appears in the circumstantial
evidence-the shirt and collar. Both
are cut go neatly that it is hard to be-
lieve that the work was that of knife
slashed at random. But even if this
were possible, it is hard to see how the
collar could have been cut and the
Wearer's throat remain untouched, and
similar conclusion is forced as regards
the shirt. Then Mr.. FeWgate made 10
| report Of the occurrence to the police
aud was very reluctant about talking OF
| the occurrence.
Morgan has few more cuts to show
for him, but his story suffers dread
fully, from the fact that he tells 1t in q
dozen different ways and don't seem to
know just which version to believe
| himself. Then his broken knife is sc
twisted as to scout the idea that it was
broken off in human flesh.
There were other rumors of all kinds
but none could be traced to anything
but wind. That the city is full of hard
characters and that it behooyes one to
go "heeIed" when out at night, is not
denied, but that there is any disciple OIL
DR.. Trumblety in town, is nonsense
May this fact prove bromide to the
nerves OF timid women!

SALT LAKE ABROAD.

Mr.. Armstrong was also questioned
about how Salt Lake is looked at from
abroad. He said that cur city was
talked of great deal in the east. but it
has been injured by over anxious
boomers. Many people have been
pipped by buying sslaratus beds when
they expected fertile ground and soma
suspicion exists as to the genuineness
of our attractions. If our boom"
were conducted on business-like aud
honorable basis we would have big
steady growth and heavy influx OF
capital

THE SEWERAGE QUESTION.
The PrOflles to be Presented this
Evening-General.

Ghe profles and plans for the estab-
lishment of system of sewerage for
this city will be presented to the City
Council this evening, and will be so
arranged as to afford all who inspect
them very intelligent idea of the werk
to be undertaken. The plans were
seen by HERALD representative in Mr..
Riter's Office yesterday. He was well
pleased with the work done by Surveyor
Brooks and his assistants. aud said the
plans showed how fatal the mistake
would have been had the Council
needed the advice of would-be boomers,
who wanted to commence throwing
dirt" the morning after il had been
decided that there had not
been enough protests to defeat
the measure. 1--WE really could not
without just such knowledge as we
are now possessed of. The plans show
that We can successfully sewer at least
so per cent. of the area of the city. To
| do this, the main sewer will have to be
placed on Ninth South, running west
to Seventh West, and thence north to
| Second South, where it will be neces-
sary to put in pumping PLAN, in
order to carry the sewage to the alkali
| plains on the other side of the river.
However, the work of putting in q
m ain sewer is still matter for future
consideration. An intercepting sewer
placed on Fifth South and running in
the same direction named above will
suffice to carry all the sewage from dis
lrict No. 1, and also from a large
area to the east of the district.
| We could run the sewage into the Jor-
dan if the river were never any higher
than at present, but during the period
of high water it would be impraeticable.
l am sure that We see our way clearly
now, and there is no reason why any
mistakes should be made. As to the
disposal of the sewage, do not ap-
prehend that there will be any difficulty
over that. There will be big demand
for it when people understand the ques-
ton better than they do at present"

HE Is HELD FOR ADULTERY
Miss Lewis Again Says Wright is
Her Betrayer.

There was but one case before Com
missioner Norrell yesterday. That was
the United States VS.. Charles R.
Wright, who was arrested few days
ago on the charge OF adultery, the com
pIainant being Miss Nevada Lewis,
who gave her age as Is years, but
whose general appearance would lead
one to infer that she was at least "a.
The first witness called in the case was
the mother of the girl, Mrs. Lewis. She
testified that her daughter
WENT TO LIVE WITH WEIGHT
in the latter part of April, 1877, and
that she remained there about two
weeks; that later, she returned home
and when the witness and her husband
left he city for Kamas, where they re-
NAMED for fome time. the betrayed
girl was at her home. When they re-
turned, they could find no trace of her
for several weeks, but did finally dis
cover her at the residence of Mrs.
Wesley in the Third Ward, where her
baby was born, and where she remained
several weeks. When asked who the
father of the child was, Nevada had al
ways asserted, up to abo7t six weeks
ago, that young man named Hyrum
was the author of her ruin. How
ever" said the witness, 81 did not be-
lIeve it. couldn't help but think That
Wright was its father-at least, that is
the way it looked to me. l had charged
Wright with it, but he denied all guilt
in the matter.
Nevada Lewis, the complaining wit
ness, corroborated the statements made
by her mother in reference TO being an
inmate of Wright's house. She said
further that she and little child of the
defendants occupied room adjoining
his bed room, and that
HIS WIPE WAS SLIGHTLY DEAF.
When asked as to who was the father

A Sure Symptom

VIENNA, January ga special cor
respondence referring to Bouisnger's
election. says: In diplor attic circles
here it is regarded as sure symptom
of a change OF government. France is
in no immediate danger as regards in
transitional complications, as 1t is bs-
Iieved internal discussions will prevent
external eatanglements.
The Weiner Tdgbyatt says: The return
of France to the programme of q
Generation ago is hardly possible.
Moderate elements will soon disappear
from the scene and wild revolutionaires
will hold the field. The danger of war
between France and Germany has new
become real.

of her child, she promptly answered,
Charles R. Wright, and gave May 4th
and 9Th as the dates when the crime
charged was committed. In the fall oil
1887, and while her parents were absent,
Wright made arrangements for her to
board and room ut Mrs. Wesley's,
where she remained until the 18th oil
December, when her parents found her.
Wright visited her about once
week while she was there and
always in the evening. He paid her
expenses while she remained there. On
DISCRIMINATION, an attempt was
made by the defendants attorney to
show that the girl was in the habit
OF running around at nights. This
however, she stoutIy denied, and said
that the man Hyrum whom she lad
told her parents had seduced her was q
myth; that she had coined that story
in order that she need not expose
Wright, who had requested her tc
shield him. Her father, however, KEEP
up such a persistent questioning tina
she
COULD NO LONGER HIDE HER SECRET
and she told them the truth in the mat
ter.
Preston Lewis, her father. testified
that Wright had admitted to him tina
he (Wright) was the seducer of hi
daughter. He had always entertained
an idea that Wright was the father o.

a great deal like him, and also bore &

made against him by Miss Lewis. AND
claimed that on the 4th of May he wa:

Continuing, he said he had introduced
Miss Lewis to young man named Ed

and that she had gone out walking with

time named by her; she was not
there more than couple of days or so
and then merely as visitor.
Mr.. Peters had no argument. and the
opposing counsel was brief. The result
