face, and about the neck was circle
Of congealed blood.
The appearance of the face con
vinced the Coroner that the woman
had first been strangled and then cut.
On turning over the body it was found
that the murderer had left his mark.
The broken end of the knife had been
used to make large cross on the base
of the spine. Everything about the
room was in a state of disorder, al
though it might have been in this con.
dition before the couple entered it.
The rooms on the top floor of the lodg-
ing-house are nothing more than spa
ces divided off by thin board parti-
tons. All the adjoining rooms were
occupied last night, but their tenants
had left the hotel when the body was
discovered IL the man had been
noisy in his work the people in the
other rooms must certainly heard him.
but if they did they said nothing about
it to the clerk.
An examination of the register
showed that Room 2S was occupied by
John Walsh and wife; Room 40, by ].
Buckley; Room 80 by Oconnor and
wife; and Room 80, by a man named
Riley. Proprietor Jennings and the
assistant housekeeper, Mary Munitor,
went up to the Oak Street Police Sta
ton and then told Coroner Schultz
and Police Captain O'Connor all they
knew about the case.
The housekeeper said that the muir
dered woman.s companion wore
white, tnrned down collar and dark
brown cutaway coat. He was decid-
edly German in appearance, but she
could not tell from his appearance how
long he had been in this country.
She said he resembled a sea-faring
man. Mary said that the woman was
a well known character around the
neighborhood, but no one seemed to
know her or where she lived. The
police are securing the city and the
vessels at the docks for the murderer.

DULL TABLE KNIFE USED--THE
POLICE AFTER THE MURDERER.

New York, April 24.-A murder as
horrible in its details as those recent
ly committed in the Whitechapel dis
trict of London was perpetrated in a
hotel in the most populous part of our
city somewhere between the hours of
II o'clock last night and o'clock
this morning by an unknown man who
has disappeared as mysteriously as if
the earth had opened and swallowed
him.
The victim was woman of the
streets, and was cut in precisely the
same manner as those unfortunates
who fell victims to slack the Ripper" )"
The man who accompanied the WON
an to the hotel is described as similar
to the famous Whitechapel butcher.
The woman, when discovered at @.
As o'clock this morning by Edward
Fitzgerald, the clerk Of the Fourth
Ward Hotel, where the crime was
committed, was lying naked on the
bed IN room 81, on the top floor,
"HSAS o'iS liSi tiSi CSCOll were SHOWN
at /! O'Clock last night. The sheet
and her underclothing, which were of
poor quality and dirty, were tied tight
ly about the throat and head. and the
abdomen was cut and slashed in a
horrible manner by a dull, broken
table knife, which lay on the floor not
far from the bed. The viscera had
been cut and from appearances part
was missing. The man had disappeared,
although no one had seen him leave
the hotel.
The body of the woman had not been
touched since Fitzgerald discovered
her, and the Coroner, making a hasty
examination, found that she had been
dead qnlte a number of hours. He
removed the cloths from her face and
neck and revealed a ghastly visage.
The tongue was out of the mouth and
swollen, the eyes bulged from their
sockets, the nose was hattened to the

feat the proposed Legislature. He
cited figures to show the injustice to
which miners were subjected by the
dockage of coal, which he denounced
robbery. Then Thompson had his
say, in which he contended the bill
was the most iniquitous he had ever
seen presented to the Legislature. He
insinuated that the speech of the SEN
ator from Luzerne melted the miners
to break contracts and commit other
indiscretions, and had ridden into
office by his demagoguery, while he
should have been relegated to OBJ
security. The yeas and nays were call
ed by Senator Hines on the first sec
tion, on which eight Democrats were
recorded in favor and fifteen Re
publicans against. This showed no
quorum, and call of the Senate was
had. Then the yeas were called on a
second vote, and the yeas were eleven
all Democrats except Bates, of Union,
and sixteen nays, sll Republicans.
This kills the bill for this session. At
least workingmen will, it is hoped,
some of these days learn who their
true friends are.
THE BALLOT REFORM BILL.
In the Senate yesterday Senator
Rapsher, Democrat, of Carbon, offer
ed resolution requesting the report
ing of the Baker Ballot Reform bill
to-day, as it had been before the Com
mittee on Elections sufficiently long
to justify such action. Senator Grouse
Republican, of Philadelphia, explained
that four members Of the Committee
on Elections were absent with the
Committee on Appropriation, and that
the bill would be reported after the
hearing of it on Thursday. The re-
solution was then referred to the
Committee on Elections. The truth
remains, however, that the Republi-
can bosses are opposed to ballot or
any other reform in the interests Of
the people, and the passage Of the bill
is at least questionable.

WANT THE BENEFIT OF THE SCHOOL
FUND.
The bill introduced by Senator Hall
Of Elk, to turn parochial schools over
to the care of the Department of
Public Instruction, whereby these
schools can come in for share of the
public school fund, is meeting with
bitter opposition, especially from the
order Of the Sons of America, and
Senators are besieged with letters and
remonstrances against its passage. The
impression is it will not become law.
REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN.
A pretty fight is going on in Re.
publican camp just now over the elec-
ton Of a chairman Of the Republican
State Committee. The contest is be-
tween Representative Baker, of Della
ware county, and Senator Woods, of
the Juniata district. Baker is an
avowed anti-Quay man, and it is not
thought the silent junior U. S. Senator
will permit him to have control of the
affairs of the Republican organization.
But sit is none Of our funeral" and
let the fight 60 on. The people OF
the State will be the gamers in the
complete discontinue Of both factions
of the Republican party.
