And Because A. Sulliyan'S Name was
Conn ected he Neglects his Duty.
1t Begins TO Look as Though the
Whole Force was Implicated.
The Corruption OF Chicago Officers
More Apparent Every Day.
Woodruff Tells Another Romantic tale
Concerning Cronin's Murder.
In Which Alex. Sulliyan's Name is
the Leading Character.

CHICAGO, June Captain Setback
WAS suspened from duty, tonight,
by Chief Hubbard for alleged de
reelection of duty in the Cronin clse.
The action WAS taken after Schack's ex-
animation before the ooroner's jury, and
it is announced to be based upon
Schaack's neglect TO summon persons
other than Mrs. Conklin, to identify the
famous white horse rig, and for nou in
Quiring into the whereabouts of DeteC-
ives Coughlin and Whalen on the night
of May 4th. Chief Hubbard tonight, IN
an interview after the suspension,
charged that Sohaack's course in the Gro
min matter was due to ths fact that in
the efforts which had been made by
Schaack's enemies to oust him from
office, Schaack mad found powerful
friend in Alexander Sullivan, and Ill one
case at least Sullivan had saved Setback
his rank and star as captain.
CHICAGO, June 1.-The many contra
diotory confessions" of the Imprisoned
horse thief Woodruff, alias Black, regard
ing the Cronin mystery, was capped this
afternoon by bran new narrative from
him regarding the affair.
During the inquest Police Captain
Setback. who was On the witness stand,
had testified as 10 the Investigations
which followed the arrest of Woodruff Tor
horse stealing and re told the whole OF
WoOdruff's varied stories about the men
whom he olaimed were named King and
Fairburn and carrying off the woman's
body in the trunk. When the captain
was asked if he had had any recent con
yersatiou with Woodruff, he said, Wood
ruff sent for me the day the grand jury
was i'll session on the case, and we went
together into II private room at the jail,
Woodruff went onto say that there were
a good many things he had not told about
the case. He continued by saying he was
in q saloon one afternoon with King
and Fairburn, when strange
man entered and took King aside.
Woodruff said the man had a big roll of
money and that he gave some 20 King
and more TO Fairburn. They went out
together and the strange man left them
a. the door, After he had gone Wood
ruff said he asked King who it was and
King said: "That is the great lawyer
Alex Sullivan"
Capt, Setback added In reply to the
jurors question, that the next day after
Woodruff mad been indicted for horse
stealing he sent word that he would not
talk any more.
The Daily News says this evening:
Woodruff this morning declared: II
amt going to get the worst of it, although
there are some people trying to give it to
me. l amt an Irish Gait oiic, ana | sup
pose the Irish will try 10 give me the
worst of it, but they had better look out.
If find they are trying To do that, I'll
make some of them think hades is not

A HORRIBLE FIND.
Several Parts of woman's Body Found at
London.


LONDON, June 4.-The mutilated
trunk Of woman was found in the
Thames at Horselydown this morning.
The Whitechapel excitement is revived,
and 1t is believed that "Jaok, the Ripper"
has resumed his atrocities.
The gastly objects were tied in parcel
with a stout cord. Shortly afterward
parcel OF female clothing was found at
Battersea. Both the fragments of the
body aud the clothing were wrapped in
pieces of cloth which together had com
prised a woman's undergarment. On the
waist band was the name of "Fisher" in
indeiiole ink. 1t is evident that the
clothing found belonged TO the murdered
woman. The portions of the trdnk
showed the woman to have been large and
we'll developed. They had apparently
been in the water about ten days. At
Battersea were also found the thighs of
female, showing conclusive evidences
of having been cut from the trunk found
at Horseieydown. They, too, were
wrapped in pieces of the underwear.

Jack the Ripper Again.

LONDON, June A parcel containing
the lower portions of woman's body,
cut in halves, was found in the 1ha mes
at HorseIy Down this morning. Another
parcel in which we're a woman's thighs
was picked up at 5attersea. Both were
wrapped in pieces of woman's clothing,
on which the name Fisher was mark ed.
The trunk and thighs evidently belonged
to the same body, which was that of a
we'll developed person. The remains
had probably been in the water ZEN days.
II is feared that Jack the Ripper has
again been at work.

DIDN'T HAVE THE NERVE.



SPARTA, VIE, June about fifty
men started from near Shamrock, to
come to this city on Friday, for the
purpose of lynohiug Jack Richards, the
man who murdered John Mooney here
about two months ago. When within
one mile of the city they tied
their teams and came quietly
into town little after midnight, and
gathered around the courthouse. After
walking around the building few times
the leader OF the party said that If four
or five of them would 40 with him, he
would go inside and see how the ground
lay. As there was no one else in the
party who had the required amount of
nerve, that scheme had tn be given up,
and no other scheme could be thought Of
by which they could get Richards without
going in after him. They quietly slipped
away as quietly az they had come, having
accom- pIished nothing.

Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-09-10

From the above tables we learn that
the temperature for the warmer six
months is very few degrees higher
that the colder six months; that during
the heated part of the day the
mercury runs very little higher during
the summer than during the winter
that the mean relative humidity is COM
paratively lower in summer than in
winter; and we have more clear and
fair days, and less cloudy days, and no
rainy days in summer, giving us every
day to be- out OF doors.
From the above tables we learn that
during the warmer six months we had,
out OF the 1874 days, 100 clear days, IS
fair days, or 16S sunshine days, and only
16 cloudy days. OF the 16 cloudy days,
only on six different days did rain fall !;
three light showers occurred in daytime,
and three light showers at night. Dur
ing these six warmer months we find
that the highest temperature was only
50 degrees Fahrenheit, and from United
States Signal Service reports find that
it reached this point but twice, once In
the month of September and once in the
month of October. And on but very few
days did the temperature run up
in the nineties. Generally the tempera-
ture, during the hottest part of the
day rarely reaches SO degrees Fahrenheit,
and this always occurs between the hours
of 10 a. m. and 2 p. M, after which
there is cool breeze blowing from the
ocean. The heat, therefore, is at no
time oppressive, but the weather is
always comfortable, always cool in the
shade; and as night approaches it grows
from ten to twenty degrees cooler, max
ing IL very comfortable, and necessary at
all times of the year to sleep under
blankets. AS the nights are always
cool, one gets good, restful sleep,
from which he awakes refreshed.
1t is generally remarked that
person requires more sleep
in this climate than in colder one-at
least he is inclined to sleep more, and
the consumptive rests in peace. 1t is to
be noticed that we have no foggy days.
But at certain times of the year, as night
approaches, fog blows in from tho
ocean, and sometimes in the morning we
have a high fog, having the appearance
Of being cloudy. The relative humidity
falls as the temperature rises, thus reliev-
ing US of that depressing feeling during
the heated term. Take any given day,
