SAYS HE IS THE RIPPER.
DeeminS's Reported ConCession-His Tria
 in Progress.

in Progress. MELBOURNE, April 29.-The "Stand. ard" says it is in position to announce without reserve that Deeming has con fessed to his lawyers and the doctors who examined him that he committed 8 majority of the "Jack the Ripper'' crimes in the Whitechapel district of London.
 The article has created 8 great sensa- tion.
 The demeanor of Deeming when he was arraigned for trial in the Central Criminal Court yesterday presented a marked difference from his conduct at the inquest. He was quiet and depress- ed, and he looked very much disappoint- ed when the Judge decided no further delay would be granted, and that the trial should at once be proceeded with.
 After the jury had been selected and the usual formalities complied with the Public Prosecutor began his opening speech, in which he arrayed with al- most irresistible force all the facts in connection with the murder of the pris- oner'S wife.
 Deeming had put aside the fippant air that characterized him at the previous hearings. and he listened closely to the prosecutors speech, paying no attention to the crowd that thronged the court room to see the criminal whose many evil deeds have brought him world d-wi de notoriety.

CHAPTER XXIII.

Before Mir. Bernard's footsteps died out on the stairs was making prepara- tions for journey. 1 needed no time after his departure to decide what steps l should take. I had reached a decision before he left. resolved to leave there immediately and to seek a stopping place in some quiet country village where no one who knew me would be likely to even see me or hear anything concerning me. l did not know where 1 should go, but believed should find some secluded spot where would be able to earn a living and where would be safe from the perse- cutions of MT. Bernard.
 had a thought of going to MT. Cor nells, but I put it away when re- called the scene that had taken place between Charles Cornell and myself. I felt that could not with propriety re- turn there after rejecting his love and then, reasoned, my presence in his home must prove means of augment ing his grief. No, that good home and those kind friends were shut away from me, and as much as longed to go back to them, could not do SO.
 My few possessions were soon packed, and after making a settlement with Mrs. Bond, went direct to the rail way station at which train was short ly due. had enough money to buy a ticket, with q little surplus over and when the train arrived went aboard had selected a station about thirty miles distant as my destination, the agent having informed me that it was a small isolated place, remarkable for it's quietness and obscurity, and upon my arrival there found that his informa- tion was truly correct.
 secured home with an aged widow | lady who was reputed wealthy, but who was considered extremely eccen- | tric by her neighbors. Her name was Lawton, and she lived all alone save for single waiting girl, in great mansion of house that appeared to be | entirely out of place among the small cheap buildings of the village. She lived apart from the neighbors, and, in fact, from the world, practically shut | ting herself at up home with her own company.
 Of Mrs. Lawton the people of the viii lage knew very little. She had moved | there from the city two years before l came, and had had the great house built after she arrived. She had given no information of her past life, and | though there were those who made | strenuous efforts to gain Q knowledge of it, nothing was known beyond the l fact that she was widow and was be- lieved very rich. It was also current ly reported that she had experienced some great disappointment and sorrow from which she would never recover, though no one had an intimation of the \ cause.
 l was prepossessed against the man. sion from the first, and l did not dare to venture near it until had visited every other house in the place and met with failure in my efforts to secure employ ment. even hesitated then, for there was something forbidding about the appearance of the house-an air o1 coldness and gloominess, that caused

 ''It is brutal"
 q know it; and I am a brute when ] am aroused. I am desperate, and will go to any lengths. You will not yield will not listen to love and persuasion. You spurn me with hate and loathing. And now I will declare war. I will pursue you so relentlessly that you will be glad to surrender and beg for terms. Remember your weakness, your friend lessness and your poverty. Remember that everything is in my favor, and that the contest will be very unequal one. l shall show no mercy or compassion, but will show you how cruel can be. 1 have sworn to have you, and if fair promises and gentle speeches would not avail me will adopt force."
 Man." I cried, 'can you be so in- human as to make war on a helpless girl?"
 ''Can I?" he repeated. "Aye, I can. Have I not moved Miss Perkins and Mrs. Bond to act and speak as they have? Did I not instigate their slan- derous speeches and insinuations in order to place you in a more helpless situation, and consequently more se- curely in my power? Aye, girl, you little know to what lengths and depths I will go to carry my ends. will move the earth and hell to make you mine."
 "Inhuman wretch" cried.
 "Yes, am inhuman," he replied, ''in all my relations to you except my love. That is human, and it is the only thing human in my nature. If you want to know my humanity, and avoid my in- humanity, give me your hand and ac- cept my love. You cannot hold out against me in war so unequal, and it is folly for you to attempt it. Accept my offer and at once put an end to your trials and sufferings. Act sensibly, Agnes, and become a lady"
 ''Mr. Bernard" I answered, ''you have persecuted me enough, and I will not hear more. Either leave the room or let me pass.''
 "Then you are still obdurate?''
 "I am. No persuasion or threats will serve to move me from what know to be right. l know I am weak and help less, but put my trust in God and bid you do your worst. You may succeed in bounding my steps and making my life waste, but I tell you now, you will never succeed in robbing me of my character"
 ''Perhaps you do not think me capa- ble of carrying out my threats?"
 "Aye, know you are. You are capa- ble of anything mean and unmanly. You have taken the vilest advantage of my friendless condition, and stopped to things no man with single gentleman ly impulse would dare to consider for moment. Yes, think you capable of warning on Q helpless, friendless, home less girl.''
 He started from the room, but on the threshold turned to say:
 ''I will see you again tomorrow. In the meantime consider what I have said. Contrast what have offered you with what your life must be if you re- fuse me. Weigh it all well and calmly and tomorrow give me your answer Good night"

veseals Wrecked and Several Lives Loal
 --esreat DestrnctiOn 0f Properly.
 LONDON, April 28 Throughout the entire night the British coast was lashed by fearful storm, and disasters are re. ported from all quarters, especially the eastern coast, along Yorkshire and the northern shores of England, and the southern part of Scotland.
 The storm came unexpectedly, as the weather for few days past has been bright and summerlike.
 The scene off Scarborough headland was fearful A number of fishing boats were caught in the storm, which de scended almost with the suddenness of a cyclone, and made strenuous efforts to get within shelter of the harbor. Null titudes ran to the cliffs, and every effort was made to assist the struggling sea- men.
 Cheers greeted each boat as it gained shelter, and ready hands were extended to help the men ashore where the women and children were waiting in anxious crowds.
 One fishing boat was swamped, and four of the crew were drowned. Other wise no loss of life is reported at Scar borough.
 Of Berwick thrilling spectacle was witnessed. The Norwegian schooner Rederindin was seen driven before the gale. The crew struggled vainly to escape being wrecked, but the storm was too much for them. Their vessel struck, and was knocked about by the waves with a fury that threatened every moment to break it to pieces.
 Efforts were made to throw a line by means'of' a rocket over the perishing ship, but every attempt was failure.
 The crew of hardy Norsemen saw their only chance and plunged into the waves. They were all excellent swimmers, and the crowd on shore sent up a mighty cheer of encouragement.
 The men disappeared now and then in the raging sea, but all made their ap- pearance again, and each appearance was greeted with a shout from the shore
 As they neared the sands of the Beach. 8 score of men rushed out into the waves. to the depth of their shoulders, and took hold of the exhausted seamen, and pulled and carried them to the shore and to safety. All were saved.
 At North Shields two fishing boats foundered; but the e.crews were saved
 Along the Norfolk coast it is feared that several wrecks have occurred, number of coasting and fishing vessels heinz missing this morning.

when her clothes caught fire by the ex-

RED CLIFF, Colo, Jan. 6. Word has
been received here of the death of
United States Marshal A. II. Fulford in
a snow slide, at Camp Nolan, in the
Fulford mining district. Mr.. Fulford
was well known miner and was heav-
lily interested in mining property in
Eagle county. He left his house at
Eagle on the 31st of December to visit
some property about fifteen miles dis
tant. His family becoming alarmed at
his long absence, began search and
followed his footsteps in the snow till
they were lost in a slide, which was
about mile in width and two and one
half miles in length, gradually contract
ing and ending in a gulch about 400
yards wide, where the snow reaches a
depth of from IS to 100 feet. There is
no doubt but Fulford was caught in
this slide and suffocated.
