ACCUSED OF MANY MURDERS.
Most Terrible Record in the History of
 Modern Crimes.

London, Oct. 30.-There is no longer any doubt that Vacher, the French Jack the Ripper, has the bloodiest rec ord ill modern history of violent crimes. He is now accused of nine teen murders and two assaults on wo- men. He ccnfesses to eleven murders and admits that there were more, but declines to give details. His con fessions have been fully substantiated in most cases.
 The latest charge against him is the murder of a girl 19 years old named Therese Ply. She was walking on the road near Finarville at o'clock on the evening of April 5 last. The man caught her by the throat and threw her down. The next day she was found dead, her body bearing thirteen knife thrusts, while two fingers were cut from the hands. Investigation led

Aurora, H., Oct. 39.-A remarkable double tragedy has taken place here Peter Braun and his brother, Harry, conduct small grocery on the out skirts of Aurora. The store is in the same yard with their dwelling. Be- tween the two buildings stands lilac bush. At 10 o'clock last night the Braun brothers closed their skore and started for the house. As they passed the lilac bush two masked men con fronted them with drawn revolvers. Peter, the elder brother, attacked one of the robbers and was greeted by four bullets, every one of which hit, and the grocery man fell dead almost upon his own doorstep. Harry Braun fled from the robbers.
 The man who did the shooting saw a figure in the darkness and gave it q shot, which penetrated the brain of the human target But the robber had made a terrible mistake, for the second man proved to be his fellow highwayman. The murderer went to the home of Jacob Rink, half a mile distant, where he stole a horse and wagon. The rig was found at Ba tavia, seven miles away, With two re- volvers on the seat. No further trace of the murderer rewards the efforts of the police.

 From the same source come state ments that money from Wulcott's quarters was placed on Lavigne in large amounts by. those on theI inside It is claimed that Wolcott took all the punishment offered by Iavigne, constantly looking for alnQpportunity, to go out, and that he mal >pp effort to put Lavigne out. On tho kother hand, many sporting men maintain that the fight was a square contest. At one pool room alone 5000 changed hands on the result, most of it having been placed on Lavigne at 10 to 6h.

Speedy, high diver, jumped from the top of the channel span of the Louis vile and JeffersonviIe bridge, height of 160 feet, this afternoon in the presence of thousands of people, who crowded the streets of Louisville and Jacksonville, fronting near the scene, two excursion steamers and the bridge pathway. The distance from the bridge level from which Speedy leaped during the week to the water is 1O6 feet. Today he leaped from the top of the span, fifty-four feet above the level or the ta'l
 Speedy did not dive, strictly speak ing. He threw himself into the air, checking his fall by extending his legs and arms, this also serving to balance him. When twenty-five feet from the water Speedy changed his poise to that of a diver He did not go under the water more than four feet, was quick to come to the surface, and at once began swimming toward ferry boat, which was waiting to pick him up.

Practical Example of Woman
 Knowledge of Firearms.

Camden, N. J., Oct. 30.-There have been numerous assaults upon women in and around this city of late and many ladies have, under the instruc- tions of husbands, brothers and other male relatives, learned how to use deadly weapons. Education in this direction is spreading in the north ern part of the state, where 1t is said to be very desirable. But one of the recent demonstrations of it's useful results occurred here yesterday, when Mrs. M. J. Blackwood, who, on her bicycle, was on the way from Mount Holly, where she had been visiting friends, was surprised by a negro, who overturned her wheel and attempted to clutch her. z .i at's
 Mrs. Blachwood, who was armed with a revolver, drew it Immediately, and her assailant found at once that she was able to take care of herself. Don't shoot, lady," he said. Follow ing these words and a brave demand of the woman to get out of the range of lire, the negro fled, followed by sev- era. revolver shots.

 Declared Legal.

 Engraving Bureau.

Washington, Oct. 30.-G. J. Corey of Illinois has filed an application at the treasury department for chief of the bureau of engraving and printing, to succeed Claude Johnson. MT. Corey is personally known to Secretary Gage as business man of ability, and com patent to fill the position. He was at the head of the work of western com mercial men in the last campaign, doing such effective work as to receive the appreciation of Chairman Hanna and leading republican politicians. He is alt present holding a commercial position of prominence, and would hardly apply for a position here un- less he saw something ahead. He is not familiar, it is said, with the tech nical part of printing and eng aving establishment, but has the ability to quickly grasp the details.
 Another position for which appli- cants continue to file their claims is register of the treasury, held by J. Fount Tillman. Elmer Pettiford of Ohio is the latest applicant. This is one of the good places that the presi- dent has left until the last to give out That he has not appointed man ex- cites wonder.

MUST MARRY.
Father Gives Daughtess a Queer
 Ultimatum.

St. Louis, Oct 30.-The local sensa ton of the day is the decision of Ja- cob Burkhart, who lives in North Twentieth street, that his four beau- tiful daughters must be married by December or leave the parental roof The girls are Ella, Emma, Lotta and Laura.
 MT. Burkhart wishes to reduce ex- penses. In an interview he said: "The raising of a family is a business mat ter. I do not believe in forcing girls to marry, but do not believe in them growing up totally dependent upon their parents. l think there is too much counting by the young chap who parts his hair in the middle and never thinks of marrying. l set my foot down on such capers. My girls have had too much counting, and as their father, I have a right to break it up. They have courted long enough to be married, and they are old enough to have husbands. I have always been good to my children"
 The girls tell a different story. They say that MT. Burkhart is fath- CT in name only, and that he is at tempting to get property that right fully belongs to his daughters. AS for submitting to his terms, they say Never" and that they will leave home and work for living sooner than to be forced into matrimony.

For the last week St. Louis bank tellers have been accepting the counter feits with out detection. It was only when they reached the St. Louis sub-treasury that their spurious character was de- termined.

 Another person, who was first ac- cused instead of Vacher, has now been cleared of the terrible suspicion. He is peasant named Bannier, and he was under arrest for three weeks on a charge of the murder of one of the shepherd lads whose throats were cut by Vacher.

 ENGLAND'S ESTIMATE.
 London, Oct. 30.-The news of the death of Henry George was received too late to permit of general editorial comment in the afternoon papers oi yesterday. The Echo, however, re- ferred to his worldwide fame, and says: 'tThe news has come as great shock to his friends in England and he had endeared himself to a large section of our social reformers."
 The Star expresses the opinion that the death of Henry George .is the most severe blow that could be dealt to Tammany, because the George vot- CTS are pretty sure to transfer their votes to Seth Low.''
 The Westminster Gazette says Whatever opinion may be held as tc the soundness of Henry Georges theories and the legitimacy of his con- clusions, it is impossible to deny the skill and eloquence with which hs expounded his views and impressed them on the attention of a not very sympathetic world"
 The afternoon papers today publish further sympathetic comments on the death of Henry George similar to ths references made by the morning papers to the death of the philosopher an6 political economist.
 Columns of stories about the dea6 man and incidents in his career art printed by the press.
