The Unknown Woman Found Yes
terday Was Eva Guppy,
of Gonzales

tSTGay was Eva GuDpy,
of Gonzales.
The poor woman whose body was
found in the river yesterday is now
known to have been Eva Guppy, or,
AS she preferred to -be known in life,
Minnie Douglass. She had lived in
San Antonio about one year, coming
to San Antonio from Laredo, where
she taught in q school for some time,
under her own name. Originally her
home was about mile from Gonzales,
where her parents reside. Of her
early history, little is known in San
Antonio. When she first arrived In
San Antonio,she stopped a few nights
at the Menger hotel, and then wen
to live at Eliza Blocker's house on
West Commerce street, which is now
used as boarding house by Alice
Bell. Part of the year she lived on
Soledad street, and for some time was
engaged as corresponding clerk for
Gen. McIIeary. On last Monday she
left the Santa Rosa hospital, where
she had been for about six weeks I'M
der treatment, and that night she APP
piled to A lice Bell for nights lodging
and something to eat, saying she had
no money. She was provided for and
hesuay, she left, going with Louisa
Haar to see Jim Davis wife, who had
done washing for her. Tuesday night
she was in Fuller's hack looking for
some friends, but found none, and
again went to Davis house, where
she left some trinket and then Oh foot
walked away. II is supposed she
went straight to the river and threw
herself in. While on Soledad street,
she often took solitary walks to the
convent bridge and would stay for
hours on the small span looking into
the river, and apparently greatly en-
jOying the fresh scenery around. 1t
was her favOrite place, and as a last
friend, whom she could trust, when
all others had deserted her, she at
length sought rest and oblivion from
her precarious existence beneath the
surface of the old river.
IG is said deceased had lover in
San Antonio, a young fellow with
whom she quarreled some months
ago, and who had since failed to re-
cognize her when they met. tits sup
posed he was one of the friends she
was looking for, but could not find
Tuesday night.
Justice MICA Ulster has not yet con-
cluded the inquest on the remains,
but will reopen the investigation
this afternoon at 3 O'clock. Several
witnesses were examined yesterday
afternoon after o'clock.
The physician who was first called
upon to see the unfortunate woman
when she occupied little room on
Soledad street, did so at the call of a
lady neighbor. He found her with q
minor illness. but she acknowledged
to him that she was starving. She
said she had tried to make living
by copying for law offices and 9TH
ers, but could get no more work. She
was taken to the hospital and there
was well taken care of. Her appetite
was marvellous and fully corrobor-
ated her words. When the doctor
asked her if she had not once worn
gold spectacles when on the street
she replied, sadly, "Ah, yes, but L
pawned them to buy something to
eat"

Mrs. MAVERICK can only be saved
by the Queens Intervention. 1t does
seem that the popular feeling evoked
by the verdict has some real meaning
and cause. Sympathy with wives
who murder their husbands is not
general, and it certainly does not
characterize the actions and senti-
ments of an English community, par
ticularly such elements of community
as have so deeply interested them
selves in Mrs. Maybrick's fateful
career. Her admission before The
Judge that she had wronged her hus-
band previously and had confessed
that wrong and been forgiven, told
fearfully against her in the closing
scenes of the trial. Her judge evil
IDENTIFY regarded her with greater
disfavor after that admission, and her
appeal to the Queen will be very apt
to fail for the same reason. Any
change that saves her from death and
condemns her to a life of imprison-
ment will not be welcomed; for a
speedy death, particularly if she be
innocent, is preferable to lifelong
agony in prison. The popular senti-
ment on both sides the water regards
her innocent of the crime charged.

AMONG other oversights and under
sights and shortsights of the last
democratic legislature was that which
neglected to make provision for the
transportation of the orphans from
their present residences to the asylum
provided for them at Corsicana. An
appropriation was made for the trans
portation of the deaf, dumb and blind
asylum inmates, but none for the Or
phans. AS consequence the benefits
of the asylum are not enjoyed by
scores who would otherwise be found
within its walls. Superintend dent
Gather says there are not over dozen
in the asylum although applications
for over two hundred are on file.
Since the Legislature has neglected
this thing, it should be taken in hand
by the benevolent people in those
communities where orphans are wait
ing transportation and means fur
nished the little ones for reaching the
COrsiCana home.

Gov. Church and the Legislature of Da-

The war between the governor Of Da-

lily. Three more vetoes were sent to
the Legislature on the 9TH, to be later
passed over the vetoes by large votes.
One of these vetoed bills was one which
covers the main point Of the fight be-
tween Gov. Church and the legislators.
1t was charged that he was converting
to his own use the money accruing from
the appointment Of notaries public. He
claimed that this was tor clerk hire
and vetoed the bill taking the notarial
fees away from him. 1t was then shown
that 81 $40 was regularly appropriated
for his use in the payment of clerical
help. In his veto Gov. Church said
that money was given bis predecessor
for the purpose and careful investiga-
ton of the books revealed the fact that
all sums referred to by him had been
appro priated and used Tor other pur-
poses. How long the fight will last and
what will be the result cannot be pre-
dictod

THE RIPPER AT WORK.
Six Mysterious and Bloody Murders in
Nicaragua.


Nicaragua.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Feb. 6.-Either
Jack the Ripper, OF Whitechapel, has
emigrated from the scene of his CHASTITY
murders, or he has found one or more
imitators In this part of Central Amer
lea. The people have been greatly
aroused by six of the most atrocious
murders ever committed within the
limits of this city. The assassin has van
1shed and left no traces for identification.
All the victims were women Of the
character who met their fate at the
hands of the London murderer. They
were found murdered just as mysteri-
orsly and the evidences point to almost
identical methods. Two were found
butchered out of all recognition. Even
their faces were most horribly slashed,
and in the cases of al the others their
persons were frightfully disfgured.
Like Jack the Ripper's victims they
have been found In out of the way
places. Two of the victims were pos
sessed of gaudy iewelry and from that
it is urged the mysterious murderer has
not committed the crimes for robbery.

The Dominion Government Likely To
Pay for Serious Blunder.
An Ottawa dispatch of the 10th says:
The papers in connection with the
seizure of the American ship Bridge
water are likely TO reveal the fact that a
grave injustice has been done an Amer
lean citizen. It is learned tonight that
the circumstances surrounding the
seizure have been a succession of
illegal acts on the part of Dominion of
fcials. It is now admitted by the GUS
tom department that no application was
made by the owners of the Bridgewatef
for Canadian registration, upon which
grounds only could duties have been
legally demanded. The refusal to pay
duty led to the seizure of the vessel.
which was only released after the COM.
missioner of customs discovered his
error. The government has always COM
tested that the seizure was legal. but
customs official admitted tonight that
when the correspondence was laid be-
fore parliament it would show that Sc
rious blundtr had been made and that
the government will have to compensate
the owner of the Bridgwater Tor the
loss he has sustained.

The North German Gazette of the 4th
inst. makes allusion to Mr.. Pendleton's
being unwell. This is construed as an
indication that the appointment of q
new American minister is desirable.
Commenting upon the action of the
United States Senate IN voting credit
for coaling station at Pago-Pago, the
National Zeitung says: America OBJ
FAMED the right TO establish a coaling
station from Malietoa, but she did not
take advantage OF the privilege within
the specified time The establishment
of a station now would appear to be an
American protest against German an
neXatlOn."
The North German Gazette in the
same issue SAYS: even if there is no
reason to deny the statement that Sec
rotary Bayard sent instructions to Mr..
Pendleton, it is certain that the latter
has made nc Uvertures whatever to the
German government. On account of
i'll health, Mr.. Pendleton has not called
at the foreign Office Tor mouths, and
since he resumed his duties some
weeks ago he has not been the bearer
of any official communication whatever
from his government ABOUT the Samoa
matter. We should not be astonlshed
If, next month, when Mr.. Harrison
enters Office, somebody else should De
appointed to represent America here"
The Berlin correspondent of the Lon
don Daily Telt gram says it is certain
that the German consul at Samoa will
be removed. Prince Bismarck is ex-
tremely annoyed by the consul exceed
Ing his Instructions.
Count Won Arco Valley, the German
minister, called at the state department
at Washington on the 4th, and had
conference with Secretary Bayard in
regard to Samoan affairs. He informed
the secretary that be had received a
communication from Prince Bismarck
to the effect that the German gorern-
ment proposes resumption at rim
Of the consultations which took pl ! in
Washington between the representa-
tives of Germany and GreaG Britain
and the United in 1887 on the subject of
Samoa. The above information was
furnished to the press by Secretary
Bayard with the statement that it was
all he would say on the subject at pres
ent.

DISORDER IN ROME.
Riot by Unemployed Workmen--Many
Persons Wounded.

Riot by Unemployed Workmen--Many
Persons Wounded.
A dispatch of the 9Th from Rome
SAYS: The fears recently entertained
by the authorities that an outbreak
would occur amoung the thousands of
unemployed persons in this city
were realized to-day. This morn
ing a great crowd of unemployed
workingmen assembled and marched
through the Via COndotta and other
streets of the city, blackening the shop
entering stores and carrying off whatever
plumber they could secure. Street lam DIS
and windows were smashed by the
mob, and, on the Via Frattina a num-
Der of buildings were partly wrecked.
Several collisions occurred between the
police and the workingmen and num-
Der of persons were wounded. Several
of the ringleaders among the rioters
were arrested. Troops are forming a
Gordon around the disturbed district.
Thirty persons, mostly policemen, were
dangerously wounded during the riot.
It is feared that the trouble will be re-
neWed 70 morrow.
A violent article by Deputy Costa in
the Messagero, urged the workmen to
revolt and not to believe Premier Girls
PTS promises OF government employ
ment. Deputy Costa, the Socialist
Fratti and the eccentric Prof. Labriola,
who led the rioters at the Opera House
and Flnocchis glass and porcelain
factory, were badly injured. The troops
were compelled to charge the mob and
to threaten to fire. One hundred ar
rests were made.
The rioters tried to reach the OUR
inal, the Offices of the cabinet ministers
and the Vatican but the troops blocked
the way. An immense amount of prop
erty was wrecked. Great discomfort is
expressed at the supineness of the gov
eminent in dealing with the riot.
