CRIMES IN WHITECHAPEL
DUPLICATED IN THE MYSTERY pUZ-
ZLING THE NEW YORK POLICE.
Nature Of Cuts and Identity of Miss
ing Organs Are the Same-NO
CIews as to the Criminals.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The mystery sur
rounding the identity of the mutilated
woman, portions of whose body were found
on West Seventeenth street and in the
North river on Saturday, is still unsolved.
Several men and women have positively
identified the dismeanbered portions of the
body, which are still at the morgue. but
so far the identidcations have been with
out results, and it is believed that the
persons making the identifications have
been mistaken in the matter.
DR.. Albert T. Weston, coroner's physl-
clan, is convinced that the case is a repe-
tition of the famous Whitechapel murders
of London. The body of the victim was
mutilated in identic ally the same manner as
were the unfortunates in the London
crimes, certain organs being missing from
the portions found. and this, with other
minor features. leads DR.. Weston to arrive
at this opinion. The doctor said the lungs
were normal, but that the victim had been
afflicted with touch Of pleurisy. SO i'm,
portant is the case considered by the au-
thorities that it has been transferred from
Captain Price to Chief Of Detectives Nc,
Cluskey, by order of Chief of Police Devery,
and all the detectives in the city are under
to the Identification of the remains. and, if
it is possible. to the apprehension Of the
murderer or murderers.
A Mrs. Billings, janitress Of house on
West Fifteenth street, found, early Friday
morning, in an ash barrel under the Stoop
of her house, an object which she thought
at the time was a piece of meat, but has
since been believed to be q portion of a
human leg as 1t corresponded with the por-
tion of the leg found Saturday morning on
Seventeenth street. The piece of flesh was
wrapped in a morning newspaper of Oct. s.,
a piece of an italian newspaper and a
piece of manila paper. The woman un>
wrapped the bundle, and taking the paper
off, threw the piece of flesh back into the
barrel and saved the papers. The barrei
was afterward carted to the dump at the
foot of West Sixteenth street, and the po-
lice are now examining the ash heaps, en-
deavoring TO find the piece Of flesh. An
other clew is the discovery by the police or
a golden hair ten inches long in the bundle
found on West Seventeenth street.

Mr.. VANDERBILT'S WILL.
Will Dispose of More Property than
Is Popularity Supposed.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The Tribune to-
morrow will say: "A close friend of the
Vanderbilt family yesterday made the fol-
lowing prediction as to what the contents
of the will OF Cornelius Vanderbilt would
prove TO be:
Il understand that 1t will very closely
follow the lines OF that of his father, Will
liam III. Vanderbilt. Mrs. Vanderbilt will
get the Fifth-avenue residence and The
Breakers at Newport for life and an in
come of s50o,0JO year to keep them UP.
These houses and the income allotted 10
Mrs. Vanderbilt will, at her death, pass to
the third son, Reginald. The five children
will receive $1,000, COO each, and the residue
of the estate will be divided into two equal
parts. one of which will be given to Cor
nelius and the other to Alfred Gwynne
Vanderbilt. The whole property will be
made a trust estate for term of years.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was, think. far richer than
he was popularity supposed to be, and 1
believe the shares of his two oldest sons
will be over $50000,00o apiece"

by thousands, the streets in the downtown
district being literally a solid mass of HUI
