Jack the Ripper Again startles the In
habitants of London.
LONDON, September 10.-At $50 this
morning the police found the body oil a
fallen woman lying at the corner of the
railway arch ON Cable street, Whitechapel.
Examination Of the remains showed the
head and arms had been cut off and car
ried away, the stomach ripped open and
the intestines were lying on the ground. A
Gordon Of police instantly surrounded the
spot, but no arrests had been made up to
8 a.. m. Policemen pass the spot every
fifteen minutes. Those on duty last night
say they saw nothing suspicious. Physi-
clans who examined the body STATEN their
opinion the murder and mutilation occu.
pied nearly an hour. It is surmised the
murderer carried off the head and arms in
q bag. The murder is the worst OF the
whole series OF Whitechapel murders.
The way in which the limbs were severed
from the body shows the murderer pos
was about 80 years old. Her clothing was
shabby and she was evidently a spirit
drinker. The remains have not been iden-
titled. The most intense excitement pre-
walls in Whitechapel. Crowds surround the
mortuary in which the body lies.
Noon-Later details show there is no
blood on the ground where the body was
found nor on the body. From this it is
evident the murder was committed in some
other place, and the body subsequently
deposited under the railway arches. The
trunk was nude. A torn bloody chemise
was found near. The body and arms are
intact, but the legs are missing. 1t is be-
lieved the woman has been dead two days.

elaborate o~rnamentation from the en-
ployes of THE Bonner Mercantile company

in the employ OF the Bonner Mercantile
company and has charge OF several of it's
most important departments. He is a
gentleman of excellent habits and will
prove a worthy husband for the young
lady whose heart and hand he has won. The
bride is the daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. L. W.
Rittenhouse and is a young lady OF
rare physical beauty and endowed with all
the graces OF mind and body which go to
make a cultured and iovabfe woman, aH
agreeable companion and a dutiful and de-
voted wife. The MINER, with their many
other friends, unite in wishing Mr.. and Mrs.
Pennington a long life and a peaceful and
happy journey along the path upon

"Sunset" Cox died at 8:33 this evening.
The end was quiet and the dying man
breathed his last as peacefully as if falling
into a light sleep. Mrs. Cox, who has been
scarcely away from the bedside for the
past two days and nights, held his left
hand, while his old friend, Douglass Taylor.
held the other. He had been conscious all
day until about a quarter OF an hour be-
fore the end.
Mr.. Cox's last conversation was about
four territories whose statehood ne hoped
to further. He mentioned New Mexico
and Arizona and said something about
making a great effort in their behalf at the
coming session.
In the afternoon while DR.. Lockwood
was talking to him, Cox made
some witty remark which completely
upset the doctors dignity. Late in
afternoon kilograms were sent to Cox's
three sisters, two OF whom live in Zanes-
vile, Ohio, and the other In St. Louis.
Cox's nephew. who is superintendent Of the
Institute, was also tele-
graphed for.
DR.. Lockwood said the immediate cause
OF death was heart failure and peritonitis.
kilograms were sent to the s~argeant-at-
arms OF the house Of representatives and
to Speaker Carlisle.
