was lying on her back. one arm by her

to the theory that the murderer was a

The police are inclined to believe that
the murderer was Jack the Ripper .
The absence of mutilation is accounted
for by the probability that he was

Death at New York of General
William T. Sherman.
The Old Hero Forced TO Surrender to the
Conqueror of AIl-Scenes at His
Death-Bed-To BE Buried
In st. Louis.
SHERMAN is NO MORE.

New YORK, Feb. 10. General Sher-
man died at $50 p. m, Saturday after a
brave struggle for life. The improve
ment in his condition Friday, which
filled his many friends with hope that
he would win the battle, gave way TO
alarming symptoms which caused the at
tending physicians to announce that
the end was rapidly approaching. The
members of his family were hastily
summoned to his bedside and remained
with him to the end.
The General was unconscious for
some time before death. He did not
suffer any pain. His respirations grew
weaker and ceased entirely at 1850 The
end came so easily that for moment it
was not possible to realize that he was
dead.
The watchers beside the bedside of
the dying hero refused TO give up every
thread of hope until the last moment.
The famous patient had rallied so
many times since he was taken i'll that
his friends believed he would again
keep death at bay. Even when his
head sank perceptibly to the right side
and there was no respiration for fully a
minute, at 1875, the physician, DR.
Alexander, turned to Senator John
Sherman and said: "IIe is not dead;
he will breathe again" And the re-
latives and friends about the couch
drew a breath of relief The doctors

SCoTTDALE, Pa, Feb. 1.-THE Meyer
mine, owned by w. j. Rainey is on fire
Four men are known to have been
killed and six or seven are missing.
The fire was kindled by miner acci-
dentally dropping a naked lamp at the
bottom of the shaft, which is 100 feet
deep. The lamp exploded, igniting the
accumulated mine gas, which exploded
with a terrific report and scattered
the flames in every direction. The mine
caught fire and the large furnace
used for ventilating the mine was
destroyed. The interior of the
mine seems to be one mass of fu-
rious flames. A large number of men
are at work turning water into the
mine. Mautz creek has been turned
from its course into the mineshaft and
is pouring a large quantity of water
into the seething abyss.
The Meyer coke plant, one of the
largest in the region, employed 500
men. The men at this place had re-
fused to join the ranks Of the strikers,
and the works were running full. Fifty
miners were at work at the time OF the
