EaTthquake.
The magazine of the Bradford Nitro
glycerine Company, located between
Prairie Depot and Bradner, Wood
County, about twenty-five miles south
of Toledo, o., exploded on the 9Th with
stunning report that was heard over a
wide area, and was mistaken every
where for an earthquake shock. No
ono was in or near the magazine at the
time, and hence there are, fortunately,
no deaths to record. The force Of the
explosion was SO terrific that the trees
over many acres are torn up by the
roots, and the ground is torn up for a
half mile on every side OF the yawning
chasm which now occupies the site of
the magazine. The scattered farm
houses in the neighborhood had their
windows smashed. The shock was felt
plainly at Monroe, Mich, twenty-four
miles north of Toledo, and hence it
must have been distinctly perceptible
over a circular area of at least one hum
dred miles in diameter

WANTS HIS MONEY BACK.
A Dutchman Seeks to Recover on Con-
federate Bonds.


j. Van Raalte, Dutch consul at Glas-
gov, has brought suit againt James @.
Blaine, as secretary of state Of the
United States. Prior to July %, 1868,
the plaintiff bought $l25,00O worth OF
negotiable coupon bonds issued by
Southern states as state and confeder-
ate state bonds jointly. On the date
named above Secretary of State Sew
ard issued a proclamation proclaim
ing all such obligations void. The
plaintiff contends this was an implied
admission that, without such prohibi-
ton, the debt or obligation would be
good and valid. He alleges Stewards
proclamation was an illegal interference
with the rights of the plaintiff as citi-
zen of Great Britain and Holland. The
case presents many curious points. The
principal contention will be that, as the
United States always held that none OF
the Southern states were out of the
Union, the secretary of state had no au-
thority to issue the proclamation.

Crowds Fighting for the Privilege OF

PARIS, Jan. 10.-A large crowd as
sembled early this morning outside the
Offices of the ministry of finance. The
people, in fact, began to assemble there
last evening, hundreds passing the
night outside the doors in order to be
as near the head CT the line
as possible and thus get some of the
new rentes or loan at the earliest mo-
ment possible. As the morning grew
older the crowd increased rapid
~. Carriages containing wealthy
fnanciers or their representatives
draw up on the outskirts of the
crowd, and their occupants made Wig
orous shoulder efforts to push forward
toward the doors Of the financial head
quarters of France. The present loan
or rente amounts to S69, 100000 francs,
and is issued at $3.50.

Jack the Ripper is here. He has done
his unspeakable work. His victim, man.
gled as he mangled her predecessors in

her in the lodging house, corner Water
and Catherine streets, where the deed
was done. Further than that, the weap-
on used has been found and is in the

Jack the Ripper himself was seen before
he did his bloody work. The girl who
saw him is able to give a close and clear
description of Linn, and, if brought face
to face with him, can identify positively.

cations incident to those surroundings, it

is an exact repetition of the horrible
atrocities of Whitechapel. The m
was fully 60 and the man could not have
been over 81 or 80. The man gave his
name as @. Nicolai to the clerk of the
lodging house where they went
at 10:45 last night. At 10 o'clock this
morning a boy whose duty it was to
rouse the tardy dodgers pushed open
the door of No. 81, and there beheld
such a scene of horror as he will not for
get until his dying day. Stretched ont
on the bed, naked from waist down, ly-
ing on her right side, with both arms
twisted and bent under her, her head
| enveloped in fold after fold of cloth, the
old woman lay stark dead on the mat
traes soaked with her blood. She had
been completely disembowled and the
terrible result OF the operation drawn out
and scattered over the entire
lower part of the bed. The boy,
after one glance at this
appalling spectacle, flew away and gave
the alarm. Police Captain O'Connor and
two roundsmen made a careful search of
the room, and on the floor close by the
bed, with it's haft and blade still wet with
blood, lay the knife with which the decd
was done. The murder must have been
well-nigh noiseless. The adjoining room
being only separated by a thin board
partition, it would be almost possible 70
hear a whisper through it Yet the man
who slept there heard not a sound. The
assassin did his work, stole quietly away
and Jack the Ripper's first bloody
mark has been made in New York. In
spector Williams is tonight assisting In
spector Byrnes in questioning the people
continually being brought in tonight by
the largest force of central office detect
ives and policemen ever at work on a
single case in New York. One woman

by the police arrested a man
known in his haunts as "Frenchy" and
who according to Mrs. Harrington vas

name she said We Carrie Brown, 60
years old. The formerly lived
out at service, but wasgso muchsgiven to
riotous living that she acquired unen-
viable reputation and thus lost her
chances of gaining an honest livelihood.
