CRIME RECALLS
 JACK THE RIPPER
WOMAN KILLED WHILE ASLEEP IN SAILORS RESORT IN NEW YORK AND THE BODY HORRIBLY MUTILATED.

New York December 2o.-The White chapel atrocities of Jack the Ripper and the murder of old Shakespeare by the Arab, Ben Ali, in this city, was recalled by the discovery today of the fearfully mutiIated body of a woman in a sailor resort of the lowest type in James Slip, near the East river. The woman who was identified as Sarah Martin, notorious character of the Cherry Hill' section, went to the place last night accompanied by a man who appeared to be Swede, and who registered as Carl Nielsen and wife. The man left the hotel this after noon and an hour later the body of his companion was found.
 The woman's throat had been cut and the body was otherwise frightfully mutil- ated. She had been killed while asleep, evidently On the floor were found two purchase checks showing the purchase on Saturday from Meigs x Co.,, Inc, Bridge port, Conn.,, of pair of shoes and a sweater.
 The place in which the murder was committed is known among sailors all over the world as Slaughter House Point" It has been raided scores of times by the police The proprietor was arrest ed and held as witness.

At this time new thing occurs, not new either, for this is the third time that Panama has arisen and asserted her independence Todays papers tell us that early In July represen- tatives to the Colombian congress from Panama went to Bogota and declared that Panama would rise in independence if the canal treaty with the United States was not ratified. Not only our govern ment but every intelligent man Knew what was coming.
 "our government would have been de-
