ANOTHER SENSATIONAL MUIR
DER IN LONDON.
A Wan Arrested ON suspicion OF He
Ing Jack the Ripper, the Author
OF the FIendish Murders.

London cabegram. The police have ar
rested a man on suspicion that he is Jack
the Ripper the author OF the horrible
Whiteckapel crimes the latest OF which
has Just been committed A policeman
who saw the unfortunate woman a short
time before the murder said that she was
talking TO "A man who looked liked sailor.
The police searched all the cattle ships but
found no reason for arresting any one.
Late Ia the evening man as arrested on
the docks and locked up on suspicion.
The police refuse TO tell what they know
about him.
Jack the Rippers latest effort differs
from the preceding ones in that ON this
occasion the human butcher did not have
time 20 complete his work, and from his
selecting place almost as public as the
Strand.
About n. m. Is Constable Thomls son
was patrolling Chamber street, a narrow
thoIoughfare that ends la Leman street.
where the police station Is situated, he
passed under the railway arch OF the
Blackwell line leading into Royal Mint

RAILROAD T

The statistics of railroad construction
for the FIRST nine months OF the year COM
pare u%ufavorably with those for the COR
respondiug time of 1890. According to
the RatIlvay Age and NortbWestcrnRGtl
rOader the difference in tue track LAID for
the two periods is about $50 miles, fore
shadowing an addition to mileage for the
entire current year of something less
than 5000 miles, as against 5.73S miles in
1890. Tbs is a smaller yearly constrnc-
tion than has been witnessed since 1885,
when the total was less than {, 900 miles,
but, on the other hand, it is a
decidedly better showing than the scarce
" attained 1900 niles of 1884. or in my
one of the six years from 1874 to
1878, inclusive. when at no time dld the
yearly addition TO track exceed 4.10O
miles. Moreover, railroad construction in
1891 has been well distributed among the
different States and Territories, and for
this reason apparently not overdone in
any geographical division, great or small.

the Rev. William O'Farrell, the Rev.

The convicts who were confirmed were
dressed in white shirts and dark trousers.
All the Catholic prisoners who attended
tie service wore the conventional red
and black stripes. The refractory pris-
oners attended with the chain and ball
dangling from their ankles. The altar
was erected in the east wing; over 1t was
a mammoth oil picture representing the
Resurrection, which had been painted bv
a convict and for which he received his
pardon. The choir was composed OF both
Catholic and Protestant singers from the
churches OF the city.

encountered a gang of corner loafers at
Brunswick and Mercer streets, and a
lively scuffle ensued. in which the plucky
little roundsman would have Jared badly
had it not been for the arrival Of Police
men Keilt, Dougherty and Feehan.
AS Flannelly was passing Brunswick
and Mercer streets he heard the men
cursing and swearing and at once direct
ed them TO move Oh. John Foley of No.

becoming abusive. was placed under ar
rest. He refused to accompany the officer
to the station house and suddenly attack
ing Flannelly, knocked him down. Flan-
nelly was getting TIE best of the fight,
when Foley's friends interfered and
wrenched his night stick from his hand.
Flannelly asked some OF the p%ystanders to
send for the patrol wagon, but being
Foley's friends they refused to do so.
Fiannellv blew for help, and as ne did so,
Foley again tackled him and the two men
were rolling in the mud when assistance
arrived. Foley was charged with being a
disorderly person.
Justice O'Donnell suspended sentence
on that charge and held him in $500 for
resisting an officer. Ex-Assemblyman

The Street Board and Transit.
The New Jersey (alleged) edition of
the World says this morning that the
Street and Water Board proposes to
make its own time table for the Jer-
sey City and Bergen Street Railway.
This is doubtless another of the fax
ing ~hayseeder's inventions. OF course
the Street and Water Commissioners
have no idea Of getting themselves
laughed at by any such proceeding.
1t would be as absurd as for them to
dictate how many editions THE NEWS
or Journal should issue daily, or how
many apples should go to the bushel.
If the Street and Water Board is in
earnest in all this business, why did
it not send its engineers to inspect the
plans on file in the Court of Chan
Gerry, the week before last? We think
its failure to do SO, considering the
position it had taken, was n of the
most extraordinary features of this
most extraordinary contest.

Tt is that impurity in the blood, which, accumu-
lating in the glands of the neck, produces I'M
slightly Jumps or swellings; which causes painful
running sores on the arms. legs, or feet; which
developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often
causing blindness or deafness; which is the origin
of pimples, canccrous growths. or many other
manifestations usually ascribed to " humors."
1t is a more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for ~scrofula combines the wo-ss
possible features of both. Being the most ancient,
Ii is the most general of all diseases or affections,
for very few persons are entirely free from 1t.
How can it be cured? By taking Hoods Sarsaf

often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be a potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. For all affections of the blood
Hoods Sarsaparilla isunequalled, and some OF the
cures it has effected are really wonderful. II you
