HE was BOILED.

John Delo aghry Assaults a Fourteen
 Year-Old Girl-Formerly an Inmate
 of the Insane Asylum.
 John Deloughry was arrested by precinct officers last night for assault upon Mary Burke, fourteen -year-old girl. Deloughry is about thirty years of age, unmarried and worked at the rubber shop. He boarded with the girls step-parents, MT. and Mrs. Harten at 1s6 Chapel street. On Saturday night when alone in the house with the girl, he attempted the assault. Mrs. Harten re- turned about nine o'clock and heard Aary's cries coming from an upper chamber. She hastened upstairs and found the girl with her clothing sadly disarranged and in pitiable condition. Deloughry was in the room with her.
 When he saw Mrs. Harten he quickly re. tired and the girl told her sad story. The result was the issuing of warrant for De- loughry's arrest. When he heard of this move, he abruptly left the house, but was captured before he could leave the city. It is stated by those who know him that he was for some time an inmate of the Insane asylum. He appeared very cool when placed behind the bars and absolutely refused to make any statement in the case whatever.

JACK THE RIPPER CAUGHT. He Murders HIS Wife and is Arrested
 He Admits Having Mutilated the
 Body, Being Actuated By a Mad
 Impulse For Which He Cannot Ac-
 count.
 LONDON, Feb. 11.-Another woman mur- der and mutilation has been discovered and the probable murderer arrested. The mur der is similar in its details to those commit ted at Whitechapel. It is probable that the man arrested is the Whitechspel fend, Jack the Ripper. The following are the circumstances as far aa made known by the police:
 A man and 8 woman, names unknown, came to Dundee, three weeks ago, and took a small house. They said they came from London. Suspicion was directed against them from the beginning and they were watched by detectives. Recently the woman disappeared. Yesterday the man was ar- rested and the house searched. A box in the basement was broken open by the police and in it was found the body of the missing woman. The head had been cut of, the legs amputated, and the stomach ripped open. The awful work bore all appear ance of having been done by the same hand that perpetrated the successive horrors in London.
 A dispatch from Dundee says that the murderer is W. H. Bury, the husband of the victim. Bury was resident of Whitechapel and his antecedents, which have been traced, suggest that he is probably "Jack the Rip per" and that he is subject to fits of uncon- scious murder mania. The post-mortem ex- animation of the Dundee victim proved that the woman had been strangled first and that her body had than been mutilated, the abdo- men being ripped open and the legs and arms twisted and broken. Bury says that he left Whitechapel three weeks ago. He refuses to say why he left, and acknowledges that he had no business requiring his attention in Dundee. He says his wife drank heavily last night before retiring and that he does not know when he got into bed. Upon awak- ing, he says, he found his wife lying upon the floor with rope around her neck. Actu- ated by sudden impulse, forwhich he can- not account. he seized knife and slashed the body. Upon reason returning he became alarmed and hastily crushed the body into the chest in which it was found, thinking to fly and make his escape. He found, how ever, that he could not leave his wife's re- mains, and he finally resolved to inform tbs police The theory of the police officials ii that Bury's wife knew of facts connecting him with the East End atrocities and thai she took him to Dundee in the hope of pre- venting 8 recurrence of the crimes.

 Authorities arc Confident That They Have the Murderer.
 WATERBURY, Feb. 11.-Joseph SDhinmer, 8 colorer in Bsckerle's hat factory, was ar- rested this afternoon for the murder of Simon J. Dillon, the Danbury gambler, early Sunday morning. Sphinmer, who can speak no English, was one of the four Germans whose quarrel with Dillon and his compan- ion, James 0. Chambers, near Still river bridge resulted in the murder. The authori- ties are confident they have the murderer, as Sphinmer stoutly denied all knowledge of the affair when he was called into the office of the factory by the chief of police, even be- fore he knew why he was summoned.
 The coroner's investigation has brought out that Dillon called the four Germans hard names, partly justifying the attack made on him, and that the husband of Tina Sykes, with whom the murdered man has been liv- ing, has been seeking Dillon's blood for some -t-s E-ss s--Ee

 NOTES FROM WASHINGTON. An Appropriation to Protect Ameri-
 can Interests in Panama-Three Cit-
 les Present Their Naval Namesakes
 With Presents-Fhe British Exsradi-
 tion Treaty.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The mayor of Boston has informed the navy department that the city council has voted a stand of colors for the use of the naval vessel named after that city. The city of Chicago and Bal timore have also taken similar action in re- gard to the cruisers Chicago and Baltimore. The former was presented with 8 silver ser vice and the latter with library and a DOT trait of Lord Baltimore.
 Ths Senate in secret session to-day formu- lated and passed a bill appropriating $250, GOO to enable the President to protect the interests of the United States and to provide for the security of the persons and property of citizens of the United States at the Isth- mus of Panama in such manner as he may deem expedient. The troubles that are feared are such as are incidental to the discharge in body of laborers, whose means of gaining their livelihood are thereby cut off and who in their desperation and dis tress may resort to violence and bloodshed. It is understood that it has been deemed wise by the authorities of the United States, Great Britain and other nations having large numbers of their citizens employed on the Panama canal to arrange for bringing them home in case of wholesale discharge and not to suffer them to remain on the isthmus in destitution and want.
 A motion was carried to remove the in junction of secrecy from the proceedings in connection with the consideration of the British extradition treaty and tomorrow the record, covering period of two or three years will be furnished the press.
 The executive clerks say it will take them 8 day to make up the complete statement.
 The latest advices at the State and Navy departments in regard to Panama show that affairs are quiet at present, but that trouble may be expected at any time. The United States ships Atlanta and Ossipee are at Asp inwall and the United States steamer Mohican will be at Panama in few days This force ia regarded as sufficient for the protection of American interests on the Isthmus.

 He claimed that the New England road does not control the Housatonic; they were quite separate, but there are stockholders owning stock in both companies. He claim ed that there is strong sentiment in Con necticut in favor of a parallel line from New Haven to New York.
