 Our sister city appears to have 8 Whitechapel fend roaming about her streets. On three nights within ten days he has fired four shots through four windows, evidently with the inten- ton of killing somebody, without any apparent motive. The assassin made two attempts upon the life of Judge Pitkin Wright, firing at him through the trausom over the door of his room in hotel. The same man fired through the window of Mir rague's room. miss ing the heads of Tague and his wife by . few inches. He also paid his respects to MT Seesel in similar manner. On Christmas eve he fired through win dow and killed little Mary Seagraves, who was asleep in bed at the time.

Il u
y Private James X. Belten, an inmate
of the Confederate Soldiers Home,
near Richmond, Va, tells a startling
story Of the finding in the hold Of the
old Confederate ram Merrimac the
skeletons oftwo men. He was a mem
Der Of Johnson battery during the
war. and was wounded at Brandy
Station. He is now almost in a dy-
ing condition. He declares that the
discovery of these skeletons has prey
ed upon his mind FOR years. Accord
ing to Bottoms story, he was engaged
as a wrecker in 1873. The person with
whom he was engaged at that time
was employed in getting the copper
off the Merrimac. While engaged in
this work Johnson says that on one
occasion he dived into the forcastle OF
the Confederate gunboat. There he
found the skeletons of two men man
acled to the floor. He supposes that
they were members of the crew who
were incarcerated for the violation of
some rule of the navy, and when the
craft was sunk were forgotten by their
comrades and went down to their
watery graves.
