The London Ripper Battles the S,rewt'est
Sieuth Hounds of Both Continents.
LONDON, Sept. 16.-In spite of all
probabilities the belief obtains among
the lower classes as we'll as in the minds
of many others that the mutilated body
found in the Cable street archway must
be added to the list of 'sJack-the- Rip
pers" victims. Certain London and pro-
vincial journals and one prominent
American paper have kept men detailed
in the Whitechapel district for months
past in hopes Of discovering the tiendish
murderer who has added a distinctive
name and method to the history of
crime, but Notwithstanding their watch
ing night after night, their efforts have
as yet been of no avail. Each one of
them had a different theory and if the
wretch is finally caught or definitely
ceases his murderous work the story Of
their labors, their suspicious and their
baffied hopes would be really interesting
reading if they could be induced to put
aside wounded vanity and relate their
true experiences.
The Negro Vote of Pennsylvania
HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 1G.-The ex,
ecutive committee of the Democratic
colored state league issued an address to
the colored voters Of Pennsylvania. 1t
says the colored man has not received
the recognition from the Republican
party that is deserved in return for its
loyal partisanship. 1t adds: 'sWe have
been cajoled with promises and have
seen others reap the reward of our la
bors. A foreigner entering our legisla-
tive halls would never know that Penn
sylvania contained upwards of 100000
negroes. The doors Of the factories and
manufacturing Industries, owned and
controlled chiefly by Republicans in
Pennsylvania have been tightly barred
against us and yet thrown open to
foreigners. The address appeals to the
colored voters to cast their ballots for
the Democratic candidate for state
treasurer.
