HORRIBLY BUTCHERED.

A Terrible Murder In New York Causes
the Belief That "Jack the Ripper Has
Located in That City.
NEW YORK, April 25.-A horrible
crime committed in thickly populated
section of lower New York at some
time between II o'clock Thursday
night and 10 o'clock Friday morning
justifies a suspicion that the fiend
known as "Jack the Ripper" Of White
chapel notoriety in London has located
in this city, or that an equally blood
thirsty wretch is plying his trade Of
murder in the same fashion. Between
the hours named an unknown woman
about IS years of age was disembow-
eled at the Fourth Ward hotel, resort
at No. IA Catherine slip, and her as
sassin has disappeared mysteriously.
About l0:3O o'clock Thursday night a
tall, slender man about 80 years of age,
dressed in brown cutaway coat and
light trousers, met an old woman who
is known by the name of ''Shakes-
peare' around the Fourth ward, and
with her entered the hotel and asked for
room for the night. The man regis
tered under the name of C. Nicoli, and
he and the woman were shown to a
room on the top floor. Friday morning
the bartender went to the room and
raped on the door. There was no re-
sponse and he forced the door. The
dead body of the old woman was
found lying on the bed. 1t was shock
ingly cut and mutilated. The body was
completely naked. A deep cash ex-
tended from the lower part of the alb
domen upward to the breast, which
disemboweled it completely. The en-
trails had apparently been torn from
the body and were scattered over the
bed. There were also two deep cuts
crossing each other on the back in the
form of an exact cross.
1t is believed the murderer strangled
his victim first and then proceeded to
his horrible butchery. There was no
trace of the man, and no one had seen
him leave the hotel. The detectives
placed under arrest bartender. a
woman named Mary Heeler and
the chambermaid, Mary Mineter.
The coroner has the. murderer's
hullc, WHICH Is common dOlo
knife with broken blade about two
inches in length and half an inch
wide. The resemblance between this
murder and those credited to Jack the
Ripper il London is strong enough
to warrant the presumption that
the object aimed at was the same,
although the procedure was slightly
different.

Number of Persons Are Said to Have
Been Killed.
PORTLAND, Ore, April %. - Word

revolver from his hip pocket and shot
Miller dead. A mob at once collected
and an attempt was made to lynch the
murderer, but he was hurried to jail by
the authorities, who determined that
the law should take it's course
Talk of lynching has been
heard on the streets ever since
the murder, and the sheriff, fear
ing an attempt would be made to take
the prisoner out and lynch him, swore
in number of citizens as special
deputies, armed them with rifles
and placed them inside the Jail
with instructions to guard the
prisoner at all hazards Friday
night the Jail, strong struct-
ure, was surrounded by fully $50 SOL
diers, who demanded the surrender of
Hunt. The sheriff refused, hot words
were exchanged, and several of
the more impetuous' deputies fred
upon the soldiers, who an
swered with volley. The dis
patches say half a dozen persons
were killed and many wounded, but
whether they were citizens or soldiers
is not known. After the shooting tho
soldiers are reported to have battered
down the door of the Jail and riddled
Hunt with bullets

men who hope greatly to increase their
South American trade.
Manufacturers and jobbers are get
ting down their aliases and making
| inquiries about the cities and provinces
| along the coast and the products which
they export and the American articles
which they are most likely to want.
The tide of business turns to the SOUTH
ward the more quickly because it is
| believed that it is not yet most advan-
tageous to try to attack the strongly
intrenched European companies for the
European mail service. In Central
America and the West Indies, however,
are fields for the American producer

traces it to the time of the Norwegian
King Rolf, whose name in French is
pronounced Rou. There was law in
his time that if a man was in danger or
caught his enemy doing any damage he
could raise the cry "Ha Rou!' and so
invoke justice in the name of the sover-
eign. At the sound of this cry every
body was bound on the instant to give
chase to the offender, under penalty of
heavy fine for failure to comply. From
this law was also derived the old Eng
lish hue and cry"
