At last the end Of the school year drew

aminauions. This was made a kind Of
gala occasion by the pupils of the school

flowers. OF these little Pauline had none.
Her mother conjured in vain for days to
find way TO procure white dress for the
little one to wear. At last, the day before
the great event, the good woman tore down
the muslin curtain at her window, and OF
it fashioned the prettiest dress Pauline
had ever worn-and it was made from a

THE RIPPER'S VICTIM.
CORY DETAILS OF THE CRIME IN
NEW YORK.
The Body of the Murdered Woman Identi-
fed-Two Suspects Under Arrest.
Many Detectives Working on the Case.

New York, April 24.-The woman
murdered here la Jack the Ripper,
ast night, could not have been much
under sixty years of age. Her hair was
almost white, and her features stamped
With marks Of drunkenness and the
gutter. She was . typical specimen of
the women Of the slums. The man, ac-
kording to the clerk Of the establish
fnent where the tragedy was enacted,
was apparently not over thirty-two
years of age. In build he was slight
lend Of medium height, with light COM
Si9xioa, i small blonde lnoustacae, and
blonde hair. He did not utter word
in the hearing of any people about the
hotel, and the murder must have been
a noiseless one, as the other rooms on
the same floor were occupied, and a
whisper could almost be heard
through the partitions. When boy
pushed open the door of the room this
morning, he beheld such a scene of
horror as he will not forget to his dying
day. Stretched out on the bed, naked
from the waist down, lying 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 mattress, soaked with
blood. She had been completely disem-
boweled, and the terrible result OF the
operation was drawn out and scattered
over the entire lower part of the bed.
Whether any parts are missing, as was
the case with the London murders, has
NOT yet been fully ascertained. When
the coverings were removed from her
face the expression was one of agony.
The old woman evidently struggled hard
before being strangled.
A doctor who saw the body says
whether by chance or skill, the cut
was made so as to effect the object
aimed at by the, London Jack the Rip
per, namely, the removal of the uterus" +"
Inspectors Byrnes and Williams were
busy until late hour tonight, ques-
tioning a large number OF people brought
in. Probably more detectives are work
ing on this case than any ever before
known in New York. The woman was
identified tonight as one Carrie Browne,
aged go. A man known as "Frenchy,"
who was an acquaintance of the dead
woman, has been arrested.
At o'clock this morning man by
the name of Adolph Kellenberg was ar.
rested. His description answers that ol
the murderer.

THE EXPLOSION AT ROME.
Irreparable Damage Done at the Vat
can, ST. Peters and st. Paul's.

Irreparable Damage Done at the vati-
can, st. Peters and st. Paups.
ROME, April 24.-The explosion yes
terday, which caused heavy damage and
loss Of life, created great alarm at the
vatican. All the windows of the pope's
library were broken and a number of
precious relics destroyed. The stained
glass windows in St. Peters and St..
Paul's were damaged and many relics
destroyed. St. Paul's church is closed
while the damage is being repaired.
The destruction wrought will be ire
parable, as valuable works of art which
were destroyed cannot be replaced.
Some time will elapse before the full
amount of the damage will be learned.
1t now transpires that the pope was
engaged in prayer when the explosion
shook the vatican building. The shock
was so severe that his holiness would
have fallen, had not one OF the servants
caught him.
An investigation shows that the ex-
plosion was caused by the accidental
explosion of shell capsules. A number
of the injured have died. King Hum
bert was today calling at the hospitals
and visiting the wounded people. The
kings sympathetic action in conveying
some of the wounded in his own car
riage to the hospitals yesterday, and in
visiting the wounded today, is highly
appreciated by the populace of this city.
Among those hurt by the accident is
Billot, the French ambassador, who WAS
slightly injured by falling glass.
