PARIS RIPPER AN EXPERT BUTCHER

LONDON, Oct 3L-Despite drenching
rain hundreds of idle workmen assembled
at Tower Hill prior to forming in process
sion and marching through the leading
thcroughfares of the East End. The or
ganizers of the Social Democratic Fedora
tion, who are usually in charge of the
marching demonstrations, were not present.
The discomfort with the Federation s
agents found expression through a man
named O'Keefe, one of seven selfappointed
delegates who yesterday had an intervie W
with Rev. DR. Parker, of the City Temple
O'Keefe asserted that 40, 900 families are
starving in the East End He wanted the
London County Council to give work to the
unemployed.
DR.. Parker expressed his sympathy with
the workingmen, and offered to open hall
for the purpose of registering the names of
those out of work and to assist in procuring
employment for the idle. To-day O'Keefe
complained that the paid organizers were of
small use and ought to resign their posts.
A paid organizer named Inchua defended
the value of his work, and said that agita-
tion would not be fruitless if it was backed
by the Trades Council. He twitted O'Keefe
with obtaining for the unemployed money
which he had not accounted for. O'Keete,
amid an uproar, defed any one to say he
had not accounted for all the money be had
received.
Another paid organizer named Wait
averted row by moving a resolution, in
which all present concurred declaring that
the idle workmen ought to be furnished
with municipal employment The unem-
ployed, he said, ought to make themselves
a nuisance. They ought not to stop in
their novels and starve, but should parade
the streets and show their misery The
authorities, he added, were not afraid Of
Socialists, but they were afraid of body of
starving men who did not care whether they
lived or died. The authorities knew that
when such men assembled by themselves
they were dangerous and must do something
to smooth them down. This address was
received with cheers, particularly that por-
tion OF it limiting at the desperation of
starving men.
The seconder of the resolution declared
that the idle workingmen would no longer
go about hedging and sponging. They
must stand up for the dignity of labor and
insist upon municipal work being given
to them. The threatened feud was ce-
mented by 1nchua proposing that his and
O'Keefe's committee unite to gain COM
mon end.
Alter the address the procession was
formed. Just as it was starting police
spy named Mccormack was'recognized and
the crowd threatened to lynch him.
O'Keefe advised the mob not to touch the
spy unless they wanted to swing at New
gate. While Mccormack was getting out
IF the crowd a score of policemen closed
around him and got him away.

Was Each of the 12 Fragments of the Vic
Tins of the Paris Murder.
PARIS, Oct. 31.--The discovery yester-
day of the terribly mutilated body of a
young woman in-an empty house in the
Rue Botzaris, near the Parches Buttes,
Chaumont, has caused great excitement in
the Belleville quarter It is the general
opinion that the woman was of loose char
acter and that her murderer was butcher s
assistant employed in the abbattoirs. The
dissection OF the body, which had been
skillfully cut into II pieces, showed that
the murderer was skillfnl in the use of the
knife
During the investigation held by the
magistrate, a workman informed him that a
certain young woman had been missing for
days. The discovery was made by four
children who were playing in front of an
unfinished building. They noticed through
the CELLAR grating what they thought was a
bundle of rags. A fag-picker happened to
approach at the time, and the childrenpont
edout the bundle to him. He went into the
cellar, brought the bundle into the street
and commenced to unwrap it. He first un-
rolled long black blouse. and then a butch
er's apron. Upon removing the latter he
was Mortified to find human limb. Piece
by piece he unwrapped the other frag-
ments.

Trouble Over Trinket Again Tearing Up
the Society of London.
LONDON, Oct. 31.-A case that resembles
the famous Osborne case came up for trial
to-day. The parties to the suit are the
wives of army officers. Lieutenant Leaders
wife sued Mrs Smyth, wife of Major Gen
eral Gibbons Smyth, for damages for slander.
The case was postponed until tomorrow
Mrs. Leader paid visit to Mrs Smyth
Alter Mrs. Leader had gone Mrs Smyth
missed a diamond brooch. Some time after
Mrs. Smyth was in the West End and saw
her brooch exposed for sale in shop win
dow. She went in the shop and asked the
jeweler where he got the brooch. He said
he had bought it from Mrs Leader. Mrs.
Smyth denied that she accused Mrs. Leader
of stealing her brooch, but pleads that if
she used the words imputed to her by Mr..
Leader, she was justified in doing so. Mrs
Leader denies emphatically that Mrs
Smyth ever owned the brooch in question.
She declares that she received it as a mar
rage present from gentleman now dead
but who was formally an officer in the In
dian army. The matter has been in court
before. Some months ago Mrs. Leader ap-
piled for an order from the court, directing
that the brooch be sent to Cairo, Egypt, Tor
Identification, Mrs. Leader saying it had
been bought there. The Court refused to
grant the order.

the same number for the Republicans. New
Jersey gets one additional member, who
will probably be a Republican. In Penn
sylvania the Republicans will certainly
gain the two Congressmen-at-large under
the new census, and one from the Beaver
Valley district, with tair prospects in other
sections OF the State. In Ohio the present
delegation of IA Democrats and seven Re-
publicans will be reversed, and two. at
least, of the West Virginia districts are al
most certainly Republican.
Some Breaks in the South.
In the South vireinia'ss present solid
Democratic front will be broken, and there
there are prospects of Republican gains in
MARYLAND, North Carolina, Louisiana, Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Missouri, while the
Populists may break the lines somewhat in
Alabama, South Carolina and Texas.
Indiana's gerrymander is SO perfect that
at present there are only two Republican
Congressman from the State, with pros.
pect of a gain of two more. Illinois Repub.
licans expect to double tn ,ir present mem.
bership of six, and Mid yan's vote will be
nearly evenly divided. Notwithstanding
the gerrymander Wisconsin will increaae
its Republican representation, perhaps to
one-half of the total Iowa, too, can be
relied upon for a decided reaction in favor
of the party of protection. The Congress
ional contests in the other Western States
are in a confused condition, because of the
activity of the Peoples party, but the Re-
publlcans will certainly do much better
than in the crash of 1890. The Pacific
coast, which remained firm even in that
disastrous year, shows no indication of a
change, and will remain almost solidly
Republican.
A Summary of the Reports.
The reports from the various States indi-
cate that the following table will be found
very nearly correct when the returns are
received next week:

LONDON, Oct. 31.-The reports received
from Dahomy regarding the havoc wrought
by the Lebel rifles with which the French
forces operating against The Dahomyans are
armed have created interest in the expert
ments that English army medical officers
are making on the effect of various kinds of
rifle bullets on the human body.
These experiments have proved that the
Manhlcher, German rifle, is the most mer-
ciful and that it makes the cleanest wound.
The new British magazine rifle bullet
smashes bones and tears flesh at distance
of ], 900 yards. The experiments appear to
disprove the theory that the greater the ve-
loclty of bullet the less is the mutilation
caused BY it.

Shore Is tied up, SO far as freight traffic
Is concerned. The strike seems to be
epidemic, and there 10 no telling how
fast or how far 1t will spread. Following
close on tho announcement that the

strike in the yards OF the Lake Shore. 1t

company at East Buffalo.
Two trains of Central freight were de-
llvered to the Lake Shore by tho New

were at work In the yard refused to ham

discharged and their engines turned into
the roundhouse.
The news was quickly carried to the
Hamburg, Elk and Scott street yards and
in q short time every member OF the
seven crews constituting the night force
had quit work. The other five engines
were taken to the roundhouse by the en-
gineers and their fires dumped. BY two
o'clock in the afternoon not wheel was
being turned in any Of the three yards OF
the company. When the day men put In
