ANOTHER "WHITECHAPEL MURDER" has been
added to that melancholy list which makes the
blacklist spot in the records of London for
many years. At one time it was believed that
the unfortunate creature found dying in the
streets on the morning Of February IL fell a
victim to the same hand that perpetrated the
CHASTITY succession of crimes which popular
taste has classified as "Whitechapel." The
murdered woman, it is true, belonged to the
GLASS which supplied all the previous subjects
fol the "Ripper's" knife she went-to her death
with the same unconsciousness of impending
danger, the. same want of knowledge of any
possible reason of apprehension, which were
observed in most of her predecessors, telling a
friend as they finished drinking together that
she must hurry up as she chad q man to meet
at the half hour But in the method Of the
crime itself there was wanting the customary
mutilation of the body to constitute it a perfect
parallel to former Whitechapel atrocities It was
accomplished with singular precision and
boldness, the site being within earshot of sew
eral men, who were actually at work when the
fatal blow was struck, and the blow itself being
delivered with such skill as to ensure instanta-
neous silence and almost instantaneous death,
The cut which severed the neck almost to the
spinal column seems to have been delivered
with the left hand another point of similari-
tv with the former outrages. The police have
been actively pursuing their inquiries in re-
ference to the murder. At about half-past two
on the morning of February IL, before the
news of the murder had spread, a man whose
clothes were stained with blood was seen by Il
police sergeant on Tower Hill, and from flcts
which yvara oftnrv wa r1S CLEANED taDdinU IN tho
opinion Of the police to associate him with the
murder, he was traced and arrested. His name is
James Thomas Sadler, and he is described as q
ships fireman. After making inquiries, the po-
lice formally charged him with the Grim on
February to. This step was taken because an in
mate of the Sailors Home, Duncan Campbell had
come forward and stated that at IL o'clock am.
on February IL a man, whom he Identified as
Sadler had sold HIM a foreign clasp knife.
which he believed had been stained with blood.
A night porter ut the London Hospital also
gave evidence to the effect thqt the prisoner
came to him with quantity Of blood about his
clothes, for the presence Of which there was
difficulty in explaining, The prisoner stands
remanded.
Lord Greville is hunting in Ireland, and.
happily for himself and his friends, is per-
fectly free from any i~ll-efects of the bite
of his favourite retriever. After having
shot the dog, Lord Greville went Immediately
to Paris, placed himself in NJ. Pasteur's hands,
and underwent the usual process of inocula-
ton. A crucial test was made of inoculating,
with a portion of the brain-substance of the
dog, several other animals, and these all
became rabid and died, thus proving to a
certainty that the retriever had been mad.
Impressed with all that he had seen, and
naturally feeling the wonderful usefulness of
the Pasteur Institute, Lord Greville is anxious
to busy himself in founding a similar institu-
ton here. He calculates that it would re-
quire only 1,000l. to start one in London, and
towards this sum he has already received
promises of 300l.
The Russian army, which reached a total
of $4,000 in the time of Napoleon l., and
which reached 1,275,0O0 during the Crimean
war, has now, when on a war footing, an
effective of 1900, 900, with 400, 900 horses,
and 1886 guns. The greatest force Of Rus
STA is in her cavalry, which is more than
double that of the three Powers Italy,
Austria, and Germany which form the Tri-
pie Alliance, while she has a reserve of
100000 horses, nearly all of them suitable
for military service, to fall back upon.
