GROWING STRONGER.
The Evidence That Deeming and the Rip
per Are One.

per Are One.
LONDON, April 8 The evidence point
ing to the identity of Deeming with Jack
the Ripper is growing stronger. Deem
ing's appearance is found to tally almost
exactly with the only authentic descrip-
ton of the ripper recorded at Scot
land Yard.
This description was given by man
who left the Duke Street club house on
the night of Sept. 30, 1888, shortly be-
fore the murder of Mrs. Eddowes, the
ripper's sixth victim. Shortly before
reaching Mitre square, he noticed man
and woman in the Mitre passage. The
woman was Mrs. Eddowes The man
was about thirty-tive years old square
shouldered, and had heavy mustache.
1t is certain, moreover that Deeming
was in London at the time.
Dr. Creighton Hutchinson, one Of the
surgeons who conducted the post-mor-
tenn examinations at Rain Hill in an in
terview adds strength to the Jack the
Ripper theory. He says that the work
was that of an expert; in only one case
was the work that caused death more
than sufficient for the purpose. 1t sew
cred the vital organ and no more, and
might have been accomplished by a sur
geon, or butcher who knew his busi-

An Englishman Takes Out Naturalization
Papers Under an Assumed Name.
BUFFALO. April civilian Rookie,
said to be former accountant of Lon
don, England, was arrested several days
ago on the charge of taking out naturali-
zation papers as Wallace Ross, under
which assumed name he has been con-
Quoting a Washington street saloon
here. The complaint was made by Cap
tain G. Burslam, a British army pen
sioner, who keeps a restaurant above
Rockies saloon, and who claims to have
known Rookie in London, There has
been ill-feeling between the two men
for some time, and the complaint was
the result. Rookie was arraigned and
held in bonds for the May term of the
United States court at Rochester.
Captain Bursla1n said to the United
Press correspondent that when he knew
Rookie in London, the latter was an Off
cial accountant with large business and
in good society. He was a cousin of
Mr.. Wreford, official receiver of Lon
don. Burslam SAID that Rookie was also
a defaulter to a large amount and was
wanted in England on that charge. To
corroborate this statement he produced
letter from a London attorney named
Quicke, which stated that Rookie had
absconded last summer, and that the ey-
tent of his defalcations was not general
ly known, but they were believed to be
very large.

SAN FRANCISCO. April 9.-One of the
rarest and most delicate surgical oper-
ations ever performed in this city was
that to which A. Baehm, a patientat the
city and county hospital, was subjected.
The operation was a remarkable one, in
that an endoscope, or small electric
light, was used during the process.
This was thrust into the thoracic cavity,
and in the illumination the action of the
heart and lungs was plainly visible.
This is the first case reported on the
Pacific coast where the electric endo-
scope was used in difficult surgery with
beneficial results Baehm was really
affected with an abscess, which had
formed in the pleural cavity and at
tackled the left lung almost completely
