Evidence that sadler Murdered "CarrOty
Nell" in WhitechapsI.
LONDON, Feb. 16.-Ths latest discovery in
connection with the Whitechapel murder
bids fair to connect Sadler, now in Gus
tody, with the crime. The police have a
dangerous Iookinn knife. stained with
blood and showing traces of having recent
Iy been washed. The blood stains were
examined microscopically by q surgeon
who has no doubt but that tho stains were
those from human blood. The knife has
been traced to the possession of Sadler.
From the time il became known that
Sadler bad been arrested and formally
charged with the murder Of "Carroty Nell"
the greatest excitement prevailed in and
about Whitechapel. The Stepney police
station. where the prisoner il detained,
was surrounded bv vast crowd OF peo-
pie, mostly women. Wild threats OF
lynching and tearing the prisoner to
pieces were uttered by the post ex-
cited of these females. When the man was re-
moved to the police court an immense force
of police was employed and every precaution
was necessary in order to prevent the mob
from lynching the prisoner. Opinions diff
for M to whether the murderer ia Jack the
Ripper. The inhabitants OF Whitschapel
believe he is. but the police have not COM
mItted themselves on tho subject.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1G.-- lSpecial.l - Az
the top Of the sheet full Of noni-
nations sent to tho senate to-day was
the single line which announced
that TilghmaD II. CIewelI had been selected
for postmaster at Helena. This sheet Fad
been posted OH the table in the clerks room
hardly minute before Prince Russell
came walking briskly in, his face fresh from
the barber and a recent shine on his uppers.
He gave start as he saw the name, said
nothing and curled his mustache. MIR.
CleweIl WAS agreed upon as a possible can
didate two weeks ago between Col. Sanders
and Congressman Carter. Mr.. Power did
not endorse him but expressed no objec-
tions. Mr.. Carter said that Prince Russell
had nothing whatever to say about the
nomination of Clewcll and really did not
know he was to be appointed. Russell hap
pened to be at the capitol when the name
came up and then learned the name for the
first time. Carter seems especially happy
over the final outcome OF the long, queer
contest over the Helena postofics and says
there is no danger at all about Clewelvs
confirmation.

BISMARCK, Feb. 49, Especial. ]-Sensa-
tions in the North Dakota legislature are
getting to be quite common occurrences.
but the unexpected ripple in the senate to-
day was one of unusual proportions. When
the customary question of approving the
journal came up the result was speedy ad-
journment without approving the journal.
On Saturday all western men voted with
the high license members for resubmission,
which carried by the bare constitutional
number, sixteen. Immediately after that
Jud Lamoure, who had led the resubmission
fight, introduced resolution looking to
capitol removal. This made the western
members very wrathv. The prohibition
lists voted almost to a man for the capitol
removal resolution in retaliation on the
Missouri slope members and some of the
MISUNDERSTANDING them Capt. Nc
Cormack, democratic leader from Grand
Forks-who were also interested in capitol
removal, rejoiced greatly. To-day the
Missouri slope members formed an alliance
for the purpose of referring the journal to
a COMMITTEES, and holding both the capitol
and resuh.nission resolutions pending the
approval of the journal finally. For the
purpose of consultation, an adjournment
was taken till tomorrow. Some Grand
Forks people are criticisinR the action of
others in attempting capitol removal. not
being certain of the result of the attempt,
and believing resubmission of greater in
terest to the people of that city. 1t is diff
ficnlt to predict to-morrow's action. but it
is believed the prohibitionists will now sue
ceed in e1punging all in relation to those
resolutions from the record aud annulling
the action of Saturday.

NEW YoRK, Feb. 16.-Paddy German. the
Australian niddleweight, and Mike Leary,
of Buffalo. met tonight at Oakland rink.
Jersey City, in what was to have been a
fifteen round contest with gloves,
but which lasted only SIX
rounds because of police inter
ference. For the first three rounds Leary
staggered German with right and left hand
ers, bnt in the fourth German woke up and
slugged the Buffalo man SO hard that he
had him groggy when the police interfered.
In the fifth round Leary got in
several good blows. but in the sixth
German went in to win. and brought a
stream of blood from Leary's nose and
mouth. The Buffalo man was against the
ropes almost hopelessly dazed, when the
police stepped in and refused to allow the
fight to go on. The referee declared it a
draw, amid protests from 0orman's
friends.

WHAT a grand thing it would be if we
could have a summer musical festival
here next year when the city is full OF
visitors. In the hot season when the
great music halls in the eastern cities
are closed, the best musicians can come
to us, and there is no reason why Helena
should not be one of the great musical
centers of the west. The love of music
is already strong among our local peo-
pie. and throughout the country the
cause of musical education has had
rapid growth. Less than twenty years
ago, according to Prof. Wolfsohn, the
Handel and Haydn society was the only
oratorio society in this country. FIT
teen years ago the Cincinnati musical
festival and the one at Worcester, Mass.
we're the only gatherings of the kind in
the United States. Now there are over
100 oratorio societies, and about twenty
festivals are held yearly in different
parts Of the country. The suggestion
that tho Damrosch orchestra, of New
York, would come here next year if
proper Inducements were offered, should
lead the lovers Of music in Helena to
bestir themselves and see II interest
enough cannot be awakened to warrant
them in planning for a great festival
here. Next year will De just the time
to start it, say in July, When the Ma
tional Educational association Is in ses-
sion here.

As Sarcasa wished to be rid of his most

rare treat.

Salt Lake, like Helena, feels the need
Of a large public hall. The Herald, of
that city, says:
" Whenever the occasion arises for holding
Alargs public meeting in this city the lack
ct 4 hall with sufficient capacity is pain
fully felt. All this year the political par
ties have been longing for a hall largo
enough to accommodate the people. Now
and then the thsater can be hired if en-
gagged a long time in advance. but then it
IL not suitable for conventions and popular
gatherings, and besides its rental is neces-
sarily higher than can be paid on ordinary
occasions. Next month the need of q COM
modious, we'll arranged public hall near
the center of the city will be again empha-
sized, when several hundred strangers will
be here in attendance as delegates to the
Irrigation con IGNITION.
Il We nave referred to this matter before,
and do so now in the hope that our capital
ists5 and business men will soon conceive it
ID be for their interest and the best good of
tho city to erect and furnish such a hall az
the necessities of tho o may demand.
1t may be that the Investment would not
prove largely renumerative in a direct way:
that is to say, the owners might not receive
frequent and large dividends on their capt.
tai, but the returns to the city, we are GER
tain. would be generous and satisfactory.
II We had such a hall many of the big CON
ventions would be held here where all the
other conditions are inviting. Gentlemen,
you who have property in this city. Or who
are engaged in business here, think over
this suggestion, and see if you cannot oon-
vince yourselves that it will pay you hand
somely to pool your efforts and erect and
furnish a hall sufficient for the acoommo-
dation of an audience of 1900 or 1000
people.
With three big conventions coming
next year Helena will very urgently feel
the need of such a hall. And not only
next year, but in years to come, for we
shall get one or more of the great an
nual conventions of religious, educa-
tlonal, benevolent and other associations
every year or two. Twenty thousand
to twenty five thouaand dollars put in
such a building would be money we'll in
vested.
