Put the old Londoner knows iiieiu wen os convenient 6hort-cuta. There are two street lamps in Miter Square, and they were burningbrightly ntoneo'clock this morning. A large tear-house in the square hires a private watchman, and.

he was on duty last night with lights blazing from five windows. He is a veteran policeman, and looKf nue a wide-awake, trustworthy man Jess than two hundred feet from the tca- nouse are three or four dwelling-houses with bed-room windows facing the square, and at least twenty people sleeping- in them The policeman on the beat goes through the square every fifteen minutes throughout the night, searching corners with a dark lantern and routing oat homeless, people who fall asleeo behind the area railings.

He ran over to the tea house and hammered on tbe door.

the matter? shouted the watch man. lor Owl's sake. said- the policeman conio out and help me. Another woman has oecn ripped open." Hot a sound had the watchman heard. Tbe slumbers of people in the dwelling houses had not been disturbed.

Within fifteen minutes a merciless murder had been com mitted, and the murderer had disappeared in the darkness, without leaving the slightest clew for the polico to follow. I saw the body this afternoon stretched on a slab in the doad-house. It was a hor rible sight. 1C very sweep of the assassin' krfife had Iteen made to tell. It had been woman -about forty-five years old, poorly nourished, shabbily dressed and undoubt edly an unfortunate who pic ked up a liv ing on rse streets, in this -case no organs were missing a- in the bodies of the women previously The cuts on the stomach were almost in the shape of letter T.

The- upward cut stretching from the uterus to ho and the cross cut. slant ing from the lower part ot the left ribs to the right hip, must have been done with a heavy knife by soma one skilled'in its use. No laeced harking, but clean cats scientifically made. Cincinnatians must recall scenes in tbe neighborhood of the ('onrt House and Jai during the riots to form an idea of the appear ance of tbe streets itr the East End-to Every tenement-house emptied it self into the Throngs noisy men. dissolute women and sqaalid children surrounded the localities where he murders were committed and the places where the bodies were awaiting the Coroner, They struggled and fought with each other to gain admittance to tbe dead houses, and the polios had to xisu brute force to drive them bock.

It was -t a FAinc or tias akd raicszr. That those who witnessed will never forget Early tn the day the people were allewed in tbe dead house to see the woman found on Berner street to try to identify her. As soon as it was identified the doors were closed to all except persons who had. business there, but thoso living in the neighborhood who dil get a chance to approach the corpse paraded the streets all day with blood stains ot the victim on their fingers and described the appearance ot the body over and over again to all people who would listen to them, Up to the present writing the second victim had not been identified, and for the very good reason that no one who is likely to recognise the body has been allowed to see it. Soon after the discovery it was taken to the dead house, and ail day long half a dozen doctors have probed it and monopolized it to the exclusion of almost every body else.

Tbe vigilance used in this respect is worthy of a better So far as I could discover, nothing at all has been done to identify the woman or discover in whose company eho was last The murderer may have been, and possibly was. among the disorderly throng that constantly swept through the streets where the crime was committed, and surged against the gates of the Morgue. but this lat crime makes it almost a certainty that tbe" blood-thirsty brnte will be run down.

If the police sift thoroughly all the informa tion I gave them you will bear more about that mysterious There Is no donbt that tbe extraordinary publicity given the details of these horrible murders, and the failure so far to find the slightest clew to the person who committed them, has created an epidemic of crime in England. Scarcely a day passes without murder in some part of the country.

The Question of the hour is. Where willit all end? 4 JLOVDOX STARTLED. The Police Paralyzed the People Dis- rnar.it By the Bloody Atroolties. TO TSt ASSOCIATES MSSS. London.

September 30. This morning the whole city was again startled by the news that two more murders had been added to the list of aaytfterious crimes that have re cently been committed in Whitechapel. At an early honr it was known that another woman had been inuruered, and a report was also current that there was still another victim. This report proved true. The two victims, as in the former cases, were dissolute women of the poorest class.

ThAt THF. MOTIVE Of tbe mnrderer was not robbery is shown by the fact that no attempt was made- to despoil the bodies. The iirst murder occurred in a narrow court oil' Berners street, at fin early honr this morning, benenih the windows of a foreigners' f-'ocialist club. A concert was in projrrrss. aud many members cf club were prtfent.

b.tf no sound was heard from tbe victim. The. same Process had been followed as in the her cases. Tho woman had hrcn Fi7J by tie throat and her cries choired, and the murderer with one sweeping cat had severe! her throat from ear to tar. A club man on entering the court had stumbled over th-l body, which was lying onlr two yard" fro-warm blood the been 1- late iiis v.ciiui.

Tbe work of uiwetion as evidently done with the utmost baste. lending the report of the doctors it is not known whether or not a portion of the viscera was taken away, Tbe doctors, after a hasty examination of tbo body, said they thought it must have taken about five minutes to complete the work of the murderer.

Many people pass through tbe square early on Sunday morning on their way to prepare for market in the notorious Tetticoat lane. The publicity of tbe place adds to the daringuess of the crime. Tho police, who have -been severely criticised in connection with the Whitechapel murders, are paralyzed by the latest crimes.

As soon as the news was received at Police Head-quarters, a messenger was dispatched for Sir Charles Warren. Chief Commissioner of Police, who was called out of bed. and at once visited the scene of the murders. The inhabitants of Whitechapel ore niSXAVED. The Vigilance Committees, which were formed after the first crimes were committed, had relaxed their efforts to capture the murderer.

At several meetings' held in Whitechaoel to-night, it was resolved to re sume the work of petroling the streets in the district in which, the murders have occurred. Dr. Blackwell, who was called, to view the remains of the Berners street victim, gave it as his opinion that the name man, evidently a maniac had committed both murders. The Berners street victim had evidently been dragged back by a handkerchief worn around the throat. The inquest will be held at eleven o'clock Monday -morning.

Four doctors will be on the jury. The inquest on tbe Mitre Square victim will probably be held on Tuesday. I FIRE HIM BODILY.

September Iomlon is in a fever of excitement. and denizens of Whitechapel are in a state of terror to-night owing to tbe resumption of the butcheries, the fourth of which, it was hoped. and yuite generally believed, would be last of the ghastly series. The police are po. itively helpless, and their tacit admission of failure to find any clew whatsoever to-the perpetrator of the terrible crimes only serves to add to the COKSTrRltATlOS- Of the unfortunate creatures whoso calling has manifestly made them the objects of the inhuman butcher's-fury.

The number of theories ad vanced as accounting for the mur ders and seeking to establish the identity of the murderer positively bewildering, but none of them are accepted by the police as the correct one, although tbe Scotland Yard detectives have nothing more plausible to offer for themselves. The absolutely impotent condition of the police in the matter has led them, however, to catch at straws in the way of evidence, which in ordinary case would be spurned by tho self-important' hurrowers for dynamiters and divers for parcels of saw- dust, and the most significant of these is a letter which was received at the office of tbe Central News Company in one of the postal deliveries on Thursday afternoon, THg tKTTga, Which is written in a scrawling baud, is familiarly addressed "Dear Boss. and signed 'Jack the Kipper." After boasting that he committed, all of the Whitechapel murders. the writer continues: I love my work and want to start at it again. The next job I do shall cut off the lady's ear and send it to the Keep this letter back till I do a bit more work, and then give it ont to the police straight." A remarkable feature of -the Miter Square murder is the fact, that one of tho dead woman's ears Was nearly severed, and this circumstance is held to indicate tbat the real murderer wrote the letter.

Most, of the newspapers issued editions to-day giving co pious details of the tragedies, and volunteering milch advice to the police which-they would do well to follow. Great crowds visited the scene of the mur ders to-day. and gazed at the blood-stained pavement with a degree of fascination diffl cult for tbe police to overcome in their efforts to seep the highways clear.

A strong impression exists to-night among prominent Democrats that the President has another clnb in-pickle for the Republican Senate. Somp days ago a resolution was passed, on motion of Senator Edmunds, requesting that the Senate be furnished with copies of all correspondence between the r-tate Department and China since the introduction of thecott exclusion bill. It is hinted that President Clcvoland will tomorrow send a message to the Senate on the subject which will be an eye-opener similar to the one he sent in resard to the request for reasons for the removal of certain Federal officials. Tho President has never yet declined an invitation read the Senate a lesson when it bos afforded him voluntarily the opportunity. -MB.

September 30. The reports of insubordination on the part of the Red Cross nurses which have been sent South are likely to lead to an investigation. One of the nurses under arrest had under her charge Bixteen patients, and was asked to take care also of another patient who lived some, distance away on the other side of a swampy wood. She was asked to make fonr trips each night to this patient. She made one trip along a lonely road alive with moccasins, and found four patients in the bouse, with two nurses.

Fhe immediately asked why these nurses could not give the other patient the required attention, and returned to her sixteen sufferers. When she declined to make the other trips demanded of her she was arrested, and ia now at Camp perry. She is a New York woman. Another case ia even more notable. A nurse was sent to a sick woman, and found that the patient was about to become a mother.

Utterly unskilled in obstetrics, and fearing tbat the woman might die. the nurse eked that a physician might be summoned. "If you send for one," said a policeman. I will arrest you." "I will take my chances," said the nurse, and she summoned a doctor. The however, was as good as his threat, and tho nurse is now detained a prisoner at Camp Perry.

These are only a few of the cases which have been reported at the of the Red Cross in this city. SALXTS M0VING.05 7 Mormon FUg-ht Into Mexico They Will Colonise the Casaa Grande River Valley. St. Louis. September 30.

A special from Paso. Texas, says: The movement of. the Mormons toward Mexico is assuming a definite shape and larger proportions. Recently dispatches have been published to the effect that the Mexican Government bad granted a concession of ten million acres of land to the Mormons, and that they had purchased seven thousand square miles of the Zuni Indian land in Mexico. There is no foundation whatever for such statements.

Every foot of land obtained by the Mormons in Mexico, so far. has been purchased from private owners, and the Government would no donbt utterly refuse to make them a concession of land. The Zuni Indians live In New Mexico, and not Old Mexico, and can not dispose of a single acre of the reservation. The facta are that the Mormons have quietly bought from private owners large bodies of agricultural lands in Northern Chihuahua, principally in the valley of the Casaa Grande River, and that they are negotiating for more. Several flourishing villages exist in that neighborhood already, the principal one being called Porfirio "Diaz, These colonists are the precursors of greater bodies In the future, and are- very quiet and unobtrusive.

Whea I came first to this citr after a month's absence th confusing and uncertain responses from the neyuuuciDi woo suouiu iisto anarmwM the campaign led me to believe the Democrats had a walk-over. This opinion is not confirmed by going in and about. For instance. Mr. Breslin.

tbe proprietor ot the Gilsey House. told me that Harrison was "all right, to use his language. Said "Hill will le elected, in my opinion, and Harrison, too." IIU view appeared to be that Miller had pushed tbe Republican party into the Prohibition corner, and that Miller would have to make out of the aame whatever he could, and that Harrison would not be held ao countable for State issues. I saw Mr. Butter-worth a few minutes: he has been stumping all over the East.

He seemed quite hearty in his view that New York State was jastae disputable as in lSSi. Perhaps the most interesting conversation I had was with General Manny, of Tennessee, who has been stumping in the Slate of Maine and is to make addresses here. He is a genuine Confederate General, who fought through the whole war, and had an excellent brigade. In some general talk with him. I remarked: "Do they pitch into you for being a Repub lican in Tennessee?" is that I would take my own counsel "anyhow.
