JACK AT HIS OLD TRICKS.
The Ripper Commits Another
AtrOCiouS Murder.

LONDON, Sept 1O.-At $50 O'Clock this
morning, a policeman found the body of
fallen woman lying at the corner of a rail
way arch on Cable street. Whitechapel. An
examination of the remains showed that the
head and arms had been cut off and carried
away, and the stomach ripped open, the in
testines lying on the ground. A Gordon of
police instantly surrounded the spot. Po-
licemen pass the spot every fifteen minutes.
Those on duty last night say they saw moth
ing suspicious The physicians who exam
ined the body state that in their opinion. the
murder and mutilation occupied nearly an
hour 1t is surmised that the murderer car
ned off the head and arms in a bag. The
murder is the worst of the whole series of
Whiteehapel murders. The manner in which
the limbs had been severed from the body
shows that the murderer was possessed of
some surgical skill. The woman was about
thirty years old. Her clothing was shabby,
and she was evidently spirit drinker. The
remains have not been identified.
THE MOST INTENSE EXCITEMENT
again prevails in Whitechapel. Crowds sur
round the mortuary in which the body lies.
Later details concerning the finding of the
body of the murdered woman in White
chapel this morning, show that there was no
blood on the ground where the body was
found, neither was there any blood on the
body. From this it is evident that the MUIR
der was committed i'll some other place and
thai the DOQy was subsequently QepOSlteQ
under the railway arch. The trunk was
nude. A rent and bloody chemise was found
lying near the body. The arms were intact,
but the legs were missing. 1t is believed
that the woman has been dead for two days.
Three sailors who were sleeping under the
arch next to the one under which the body
was found, were taken into custody by the
police. They convinced the authorities how
ever, that they had seen or heard nothing Of
a suspicious nature and they were dis
charged.
DONE BY THE RIPPER's DOUBLE.
LONDON, Sept. 10.-Although the murder
discovered early this morning in the White
chapel district is generally spoken of as the
work of the mysterious Jack the Ripper" a
close examination of all tie facts leads to
the conclusion that this murder is not on the
Ripper" The police and the medical men
familiar with the recent London horrors OF
this class, say that this last murder must be
classified with those known as the 'embank-
ment'' murders, of which there have been
four in all, including the one in which the
headless body of the victim was recently
discovered in Chelsea, and of which the head
has never been found. Although there is a
general resemblance between the horrible
work of the two murderers, both taking
special pains to mutilate their victims and to
carry off portions of the bodies each carries
off a different portion. Besides this, there are
other evidences of differences in eXpertneSs
III the surgical work involved in all the mu-
tilations, the 'embankment" murderer be-
ing BY far the more scientific of the two. For
some time it was doubted whether all these
horrors were the work of one or two persons,
but this last murder convinces the medical
mer that there are two entirely distinct sets
of murderers and two different men re-
sponsible for them. 1t is believed that in the
present instance the body was purposely
brought to the Whitechapel district to throw
the police off the scent by inducing the be-
lief that the body was that Of another victim
OF Jack the Ripper" In this the perpe-
traitor. however went to the trouble that is
entirely superfluous for the police are as
