6 te 46 mt ANOTHEB WHITECHAPEL FEMALE MURDERED AND MUTILATED. THE WORST OF THE SERIES. THE VICTIM'S HEAD AND ARMS MISSING. INTENSE EXCITEMENT IN THE EAST END. A telegram received early this morning says a woman, believed to have been a prostitute, was found in Back Gkaveha, Cabiaatroea Bfc GeergeflMu-iho-Eaat.

this morning. Her arms nd head were completely severed from the body, and she was fearfully disembowelled. The police ana doctors believe it is tho work of "Jack the Ripper," and the worst of the series of the East End atrocities. The Central News telegraphing further details says About half-past five o'clock this morning the policeman on beat in the Cable-street end of Back Church-lane, a wide, but at nigbt a very dark and dangerous thoroughfare in St George's-in-the-East, made a horrible discovery. Under one of the huge railway arches which are situated off Cable-street, about twenty yards to the right, in a dark corner under the main railwav arch, hn fanmi the body of a woman which had been mutilated in a tearful manner.

The arms and head were completely severed from the body, and were removed by the murderer. This most have been done with a very sharp knife, and by the aid of other instruments, as this mutilation was done in a by no means clumsy manner, but showed considerable Burgical skill. She was also terribly mutilated about the abdomen, in a way which has characterised nearly all the seriee of Whitecbapel murders which are identified with the name of Jack the Ripper." The policeman immediately whistled for assistance, and in a very short time a sergeant and soma constables were on the scene. The scene of the murder was quickly surrounded, and every corner and alley in the neighbourhood searched, but nothing whatever could be seen which would afford any clue to the whereabouts of the author or authors of the diabolical outrage. As soon as the news of the murder was communicated at Lemau-street police station, which is only about three minntes' walk from the Back Church-lane, the inspector in charge communicated with Scotland Yard, and detectives were immediately sent down.

Chief Commissioner Monro was also informed, and he, along with a number of Scotland Yard officials, cams down, and visited the whole locality around Cable-street before the body was removed to St. George's in the-East mortuary. Dr. Phillips made an examination of it, and the Central News learns that he, as well as the Scotland Yard authorities, is distinctly oi opinion tnat this is by far the worst of the ssries of horrible tragedies which bave occurred in the East End of London daring the past eignteen montba They are inclined to attach the committal of this murder to the unknown fiend whose handiwork can be clearly traced throughout the preceding barbarities. The news of the murder oread ranidlv thromrh.

Out the courts and alleys of Cable-street, and a large crowd had gathered in front of the railway arcn oeiore six elook in the morning. The scene of the murder is a neculiarlv amat an sV dark one, and just the place where such a deed could be committed without much fear of interruption. The archway is wide, and carts and barrows were in various positions along the walls. There is, however, only one exit, and that is by Back Church-lane. This, however, leads directly into Cable-street, and -thence by numerous ways into Leman-street and the scene of the other East-End murders.

From a close inspection of the various mutilations it is thought that the deed must have taken over an hour to accomplish, and all this tima a. policeman on beat was doing his rounds only about twenty yards distant, that is, of course, presuming that the murder was actually committed where the body was found. The arch, strictly speaking, is in Pinchin -street, which extends from Back Church-lane to Christian-street, and runs parallel with Cable-street. The body was removed to St. George's-in-the-East mortuary, where it now lies awaiting identification.

The victim appears to bave been a rather short and stout woman, about thirty years of age, of dark complexion, and rather shabbily dressed. From all appearances she seems to have led a dissipated existence, as the body is but poorly nounsneo, ana sue must nave oeen a hard drinker. Several women have visited the mortuary, bat up to the present the body has not been identified. Indeed, it is obvious that identification under the circumstances will be very difficult, the main clue to this, of course, being the woman's clothing, which corresponds to that generally worn by the poorer classes of women in Whitecbapel. Crowds continue to gather in Pinchin -street and Back Church-lane, and more interest and indignation has been excited regarding this murder than was evoked concerning even the one in Castle Alley which took place about two months ago.

The police are again completely baffled, and, instead of assuming a more cautious aud watchful attitude, the murderer seems to bave been emboldened by his success, and it seems very strange that no suspicion whatever was aroused by the appearance of a man walking along this neighbourhood, and at this early hoar of the morning, with sach a bulky parcel as must bave been used in conveying away the arms and head of the murdered woman. It seems very hard to believe that he could bave escaped the notice both of the police and detectives, who are swarmine in the neighbourhood. and this, the most horrible of all thssari.es, as far as present clues go seems certain to develop into another East End mystery. LATER DETAILS. The constable on the beat who found tbe remains in the railwav arch at Cable-street was P.C.

239 Wm. Pannett It was exactly half-past five when the morning light enabled him to see the body of a woman lying in the corner of the railway arch, and be at once realised that it was a lifeless piece of humanity. It was evident from a closer examination that tbe woman was not murdered on the spot where she was found. There was, for instance, no blood upon the ground, and very little upon the body, whereas had she been murdered in the arch there must have been ample evidence of it The experts are of opinion that the body must have been brought to the arch and left there between five and half-past five this morning. The trunk when discovered was in a completely nnde state, and minus the head.

The legs, according to one account the arms, says another were taken away. Tbe body was lying on the stomach, and there was a clear cut from the waist downward. A chemise wa3 lying in a heap on the body. The garment had been cnt down, aud was much blood-stained. No other clothing has yet been found.

There is a mark round the waist as though it had been tied tightly round, and this was probably done when tbe body was removed. The woman, according to the opinion of the doctor, must have been between thirty and forty years of age, and about five feet eight inches in height. She was stoutly built, and dark, and tbe portions of hair on the trunk are of a dark brown colour. The trunk measures two feet three inches, and the arms two feet two inches. Tbe waist measures thirty-three inches.

There is no marks of a wedding-ring on the finerer, and the indications tend to show that the woman had never suckled a child. Tbe arch where the remains were found belongs to the Great Eastern Railway, and is rented- by tbe Whitecbapel Board of Works as a stone-yard. There is a hoarding which has been pulled down, and tbe arch is, therefore, visible from the street Dr. Clark is the medical officer who made the first examination, Dr. Phillips being absent on his holidays at Bournemouth.

In the opinion of this gentleman the woman bad been dead from two to three days when found. Mr Thomas Arnold, tbe district superintendent was summoned, and took charge of the police arrangements from au early hour. In- spectors Pintroon and Raid mnA nffi Tn.M son and Henry Moore are ably carrying oat their chiefs directions with a view to trace the perpetrator of the crime. One of the first things discovered by the police when a thorough search was made was three Bailors sleeping in a railway arch adjoining that in which the remains were lound. They were detained and olosely ex-amiued at the police station, but it was evident they knew nothing of the murder or the depositing of the remains at the spot.

They had neither seen or heard anything, and were accordingly discharged. Opinion is divided in the district as to whether the present murder is another of the series which has made the name of Jack the Ripper a terror in the East End. The spot where the body was found is only a few yards from Berners-street, where exactly a year ago almost to a day tbe mutilated remains of a woman were found. The Press Association's account of the discovery reads At an early hour this morning the inhabitants of Whitecbapel were thrown into a state of wild excitement by a rumour to the effect that the notorious criminal known as Jack the Ripper'' had again been at work, and a great crowd flocked towards Pinchia-streot, Sk George's, the scene of tbe supposed tragedy. Enquiry showed that although a murder has undoubtedly been committed, there is no resemblance in it to those which have previously been perpetrated.

A constable on his beat in Pincbin-street noticed a parcel lying beneath the arches Of the London, Tilbury, and Southend Railway. He opened it, and found it contained the trauk of a woman denuded of her bead, legs, and arms. There was no blood about the place. He at once removed it to tbe mortuary. The woman appeared to have been dead four or five days.

Three men sleeping near by were arrested, but were not detained. A later account from the same source says Constable Pan net was patrolling his beat in Pincbin-street shortly after five o'clock, when he found a bundle containing the trunk of a woman with arms attached but the head aud legs were missing. It was slightly decomposed. The stomach had been cot in a brutal manner. The police surgeon after examination certified that the woman had been dead at least four days, but had only been deposited beneath the archway daring the night.

The spot where the tragedy took place is a roadway arch abutting on a place knowu as "Dark Alley." There is nothing whatever to prevent a person so desirous of walking through a stonoyard which lay on the further side of tbe arch, which forms part of the new Great Eastern Railway goods depot at Bisbopsgate. It is approacned by numerous dark and winding small streets from Lemau-street and from the Whitecbapel High-street The police officer was patrolling his beat when, by the light of breaking day, he noticed a bundle under the massive open structure. On examining it it was found to be the trunk of a woman, with the arms attached, bat she head and legs missing. It was slightly decomposed. Tbe abdomen bore those brutal evidences of tbe work of "Jack the Ripper" which characterised the previous murders in tbe locality.

The stomach was cat ia a shocking manner. Pannett immediately summoned further assistance, and within a short time Superintendent Arnold and a large body of plain clothes and uniform officers were hastening to the scene with an ambulance and medical assistance. It was certified that the mutilated trauk was that of a woman, who had been dead at least four days, bat only left exposed under tbe aroh daring tbe night. It was removed to the St. George's Mortuary for tbe purpose of a further medical examination.

Dr. Phillips has arranged to hold a post-mortem on tbe remains found at three o'clock this afternoon at the mortuary adjoioing the vestry hall of St George's in-the-East at Cable-street The inquest will probably be held to-morrow at tbe vestry hall, Cable-street. The body, it is stated, does not bear any marks which may lead to iden tification, as theie are no scars whatever upon any part STATEMENT BY THE POLICE OFFICER. A representative of the Press Association this morning had aa interview with tbe constable who discovered the trunk. He stated that he was on duty near the railway arches, Pinchin-street, soon after five o'clock this morning, when turning his lantern into one of the arches' he was horrified to discover a woman's body minus tbe head and legs.

The trunk was naked, with the exception of a small piece of calico or linen resembling a chemise, and appeared to have been carried in some coarse cloth or sacking. The remains were somewhat decomposed, so that the woman must bave been dead soma time. Another policeman states that he passed the place where tbe body was found a short time before, and is positive there was nothing there then, so that it would appear that it had been carried to the spot NO CLUE. A telegram at two o'clock this afternoon states that an examination of the abdomen by the doctor shows that nothing has been removed from the intestines, or any other part of the stomach. The motive for the crime is therefore less apparent than in the preceding cases.

The abdomen is split completely up, and the flesh is dark coloured, decomposition having set in. There is nothing by which the remains can be identified, nor anything to show whether the woman was married ox single. The detective force bas been greatly increased. THE INFLUENCE OF SEASON ON LUNACY A theory has often been discussed in connection with the Whitecbapel murders that the assassin is au individual affected either by the moon changes or by other atmospheric conditions which particularly teach persons with a tendency to lunacy. As facts bearing upon this point are important just now, the following will no doubt be read with special interest: Tbe old idea that Luna and lunacy have an intimate relation appears to be not wholly without foundation.

This, at any rate, is demonstrated by tbe Commissioners in Lunacy for Scotland that tbe seasons have a distinct influence on asylum statistics. The tables of admissions during the years 1880-7 show that there are two well marked periods one in which the number rises considerably above tbe average, and the other which it falls considerably below. The average monthly number for tbe eight years was 1,699. During the three months of May, June, and July the number was 628 above what it wonld havo been if the average number only had been admitted. On the other hand, daring tbe mouths of October, November, December, and January the somber was 462 below what it would have been if the average number had bean admitted.

The table shows further that this rise aud this fall are preceded by a gradual rise and a gradual fall, the rise taking place during February, March, and April, and the fall taking place during July, August, and September. "The special frequency," the Commissioners say, "with which asylum treatment is resorted to daring the period from the middle of April to the middle of Jaly corresponds with what has been observed by asylum physicians that there is a tendency to an exacerbation of the mental disorder of patients in asylums during the early part of summer and it ia interesting to notice also that the statistics of suicide in the general population show that this occurs most frequently during the same period." The greatest number of recoveries takes place during June, July, aud August and they are fewest during the months of November, January, and February. The regularity in tbe rise and fall of the numbers is twice interrupted. The rise is interrupted by a fall in April, and the fall is interrupted by a rise in December. THE GOEY LIST.

The first of the so-called Whitecbapel murders took place at Christmas, 1887, when an unknown woman was found murdered near Osborne-street, Whitechapel. How she came by her death no one could say. No. 2. Outraged to Death bv a Gang.

On Easter Tuesday, 1888, Emma Smith, unfortunate," was passing Whitecbapel Church at half-past one in the morning, when she was accosted by some men, who seized her money and then outraged her in succession. She was picked up dying, bat lived long enoagh to tell her story. No. 3. Stabbed with Thikts-ninb Wounds.

Early on the morning of August 7 a woman, supposed to be Martha Turner, aged 35, a hawker, lately living off Commercial-road, was discovered lying dead on tbe first-floor landing of some model dwellings known as George-yard Buildings, Commercial-street Spitalfields. The woman, when found, presented a shocking appearance, her body being covered with stab wounds to the number of 39, some of which bad been done with a bayonet How the body came to be there is a mystery which the police as yet have not solved. It is a singular coincidence that the murder was committed daring Bank Holiday night, and is almost identical with another murder which was perpetrated near the same spot on tbe night of too previous Rauk Holiday. The police, said the Coroner, would eu- ttbis $ags parting. NEWMARKET TRAINING NOTES.

The fact that Donovan and Chita bob bad arrived overnight was sufficient in itself to attract a larso muster of visitors to the Town Moor, and is is some years since we bave seen sach a representative company present on the morning before the St.

Davenport is a greatly improved colt, and we hear that Wadlow, his trainer, ia rather sanguine of his being able to finish fn the first three.

The Duke of Portland's colt though he sweated somewhat freely, pulled up sound and well, and all connected with him are confident that he will prove successful in the ereat race to-morrow afternoon. It is stated that Chita bob has fallen slightly lame.

Ths Fibst Disembowelled. a September 1st Mary Ann was murdered under circumstances of a most revolting character in The body was found lying on the footpath, against the gates of the yard. Police-constable Neil was walking along Buck's-row between four and half-past in tbe morning, when he noticed the body on the footpath, and a very brief examination revealed the fact of her murder. Her throat was cnt from ear to ear, and her body bad been ripped up from the abdomen almost to the breast bone, while a second cnt gashed the left thigh. The coroner, on September 23rd, 1888, said that she was last seen endeavouring to walk eastward down Whitechapel.

She said she had had her lodging money three times that day. but that she had spent it; that she was without money; that the lodging-house deputy refused to trust her that she was going to look about and get some money to pay her lodgings and that sbe should soon be back. What her exact movements were after this it is impossible to say. At all events, in less than an hour and a-quarter after this sh is found dead at a spot rather under three-quarters of a mile distant The time at which too body was found cannot have been far from 3.45 as it is fixed by so many independent data. The condition in which the body was fonnd appears te prove conclusively that tbe deceased was killed on thai ssact spot on which she was found.

There is net a trace of blood anywhere, except at the' affm noon ner neca was lying. No. 5. Thh Fibst with a- Missiko Portion. On September 9, at five minutes to six o'clock on Saturday morning, a man named John Davis, living at 29, Hanbury-street, Spitalfields, discovered the body of Annie Chapman in the yard at tha rear of that house; the body bad its clothes so disarranged as to show that the lower part of her body had been horribly mutilated.

The threat had been cnt so deeply that the head was nearly severed from the trunk. The surgeon said be had no doubt that the throat was first cut and the stomach subsequently mutilated. Noi 6 and 7. Two im Onb Nioht. On Sunday, September 30, two murders were committed.

The first was on Elizabeth Stride, in Kerners street oppoeitethe "International and Educational Club." The woman's head was nearly severed from her body, and her blood streaming down the gutter. The body when found was quite warm. In oueband was clutched onccw, aau ai ner preset were pinned two dahlias she was respectably dressed for her class, and appeared to be about thirty-five yeara of age. Her height waa 5ft. and her complexion and hair were dark.

On the same date, shortly before two o'clock. Police-constable Watkins (No. 881), of the City police, was going round his beat, when, turning his lantern upon the darkest oorner of Mitre-sqaare, Aldgate, he saw the body of a woman, found afterwards to be Catherine Edwards, apparently lifeless, in a pool of blood, and horribly mutilated.

MIDDLESBROUGH. The iron market to-day showed considerable improvement on what could be reported about the close of last week, when speculators who were disappointed with tbe extent of the decrease in stocks reported in the August returns succeeded in pulling down the pig iron prices quite 6d per ton by offering cheap lots in order to realise. However, more confidence was ebown to-day, and tbe quotation for prompt f.o.b. deliveries of No. 3 G.M.B.

Cleveland was raised to 4374 per ton, that figure being realised, and more confidence is shown. The trade is as sound aud healthy as ever, and the fall was entirely due to speculative operations, chiefly at Glasgow'. It is probable that prices will advance still more, and some sellers expect the prompt price to reach 45- before the month is out, a price which is justified by the actual demand for and the scarcity of Cleveland pig. Grey forge is 4274 to 429, and is rather scarce. East coast hematite is 55-.

Middlesbrough No. 3 warrants are 436 cash, and rather more is being taken out of store, the stock with Connal's now being 180,054 tons, or 2,865 tons less than a week ago. Shipments of pig iron from Middlesbrough are comparatively quiet, but that is dae to the continued lack of steamers op to last night the quantity was 18,676 tous, against 22,757 tons in August to 9th, and 21,509 tons in Jnly to 12th. The demand for finished iron is good, and rather more is being asked for bars, bnt other descriptions remain as last week. Makers of common iron bars quote 6 5- upwards, but for a good order even less than 6 5- will bo taken by eome producers.

Ship plates are 76, less 24 per cent, aud ship angles about 5. Heavy iron rails are 5 5- to 5 10- at works, and bave advanced 26 a ton. GLASGOW PIG IRON. Steady.

This morning a supposed case of suicide occurred at the Dover Castle Hotel, Dover. Shortly before midnight a gentleman named Rhodes, supposed to belong to London, arrived at the hotel accompanied by a lady.

It is stated the deceased gentleman was connected with a well-known racing yacht. THE SCHOOL ACCOMMODATION FOR SOUTH STOCKTON. This morning the monthly meeting of the Thornaby School Board was held in the Mechanics' Institute, Sonth Stockton, Mr C.

A. Head, J.P., presiding. The question of providing further accommodation for children in the Board Schools came op on a return from the wardens of the number of children at school. Mr John Watson drew attention to the fact that the population was largely increasing, and the schools were more than full The places in Queen-street schools allowed by Government were 962, bet there were 1,049 children on the roll in Westbury -street school there were 582 places, bat 703 children on the books. Therefore, they had 1,758 children, with only provision for 1,544, or a difference of 214.

The average attendance last week was Queen-street, 830; Westbury street, 558; total, 1,388. The attendance would, however, be much bettor than this in a few weeks' time. The Chaiumah said that according to the warden's return the total number of children of school age was 3,063, and they had to add 662 children uuder five years of age; from this, however, must be deducted 110 children attending private schools, and 154 absent from sickness or other reasons, making a net total of 3,461 for whom accommodation should be provided. The voluntary schools provided for 1,329, and, therefore, the School Board should provide for 2,122. As they only provided for 1,544, they were 578 under their proper number.

Mr Whitwell, enquired how long the present population was likely to last, for if it were to decrease in fifteen or eighteen months they had better pull on as they were, but if it was to be permanent it would be necessary to take some action. The Chaib man believed the population would continue increasing, though there might be fluctuations. Canon Shannahan was going to enlarge his (R.C.) schools, and this would reduce the number of places required. Mr Whitwell said they had batter let the matter rest over the winter, and in six months time they could consider whether they ought to build. This suggestion was eventually adopted, and the subject dropped.

THE LONDON LABOUR CRISIS. DETERMINED ATTITUDE OF THE MEN. The struggle between the London Dock Company and the strikers is being carried on with onabated vigour. Mr Burns addressed a series of Meetings yesterday. At the Tower Hill meeting Mr Tillett denied the interpretation which the Lor Mayor had pot upon the proceedings of Saturday, aud said under no circumstances would be have consented to a compromise which did not provide for the concessions coming into operation on the 1st October.

Mr Burns announced the receipt of an additional from Australia and a contribution from the Bristol trades' unionists. At one meeting which he had addressed that morning the men had unanimously decided that tbey would not even accept the proposal that the concessions noald come into operation on October 1. The Dock Company, it was said, must surrender by to morrow, or they would soon be in a state of insolvency. Yesterday morning the conditions for adoption by the wharfingers, additional copies which were sent out on Saturday, were re-tamed notifying that several wharfingers had 'peed to pay the sums demanded by the men, including Messrs Gardiner and Tidy, of Farrand's harf, Bermondsey, Messrs Gardon and Combs, hotherhithe, and others. The Lord Mayor, Cardinal Manning, Sir John Lubbock, and Mr Sydney Buxton resumed their attempt to bring about a settlement yesterday, and during the afternoon Messrs Burns and Tillett waited upon 'hf-uj at the Mansion House.

A conference of te ff0 hoars' duration took place, at the con-eliioiou of which it was officially stated that it had hft-i agreed that the proceedings of the com-tnii'se should be kept absolutely private for the lrwct. In the course of an interview with a repre u'ltative of the Press last evening Mr Todd, one ie dock directors, stated that at a meeting of corn dealers at the Corn Exchange yesterday a had been passed calling upon the "uverumcnt to put down the picketing and dis-cuurae intimidation. A deputation proceeded tao Home Office on the subject, and one of tt private secretaries promised to communicate y-B'-r representations to Mr Matthews. The contributions yesterday to the strike funds over 7,000, and a further sum of 1,200 is expected from Sydney. About 150 pastors and officers of Noncon-lormut churches in the metropolis assembled the Memorial Hall, London, yesterday, in connection with the creseut crisis.

Dr. Hannay Presided, aud the speakers included Dr. Clifford, iiev. John McNeill, the Rev. M.

Cerlile, Dr. uud, and Dr. Stevenson. It was resolved to increase the contribution of the churches to the re le luQd, and a deputation was appointed to wait Pou the Lord Mayor and the dock directors, to rft tnat the claims of the men should be at once Conceded. -'t Liverpool the strike of palm kernel carriers, uo struck on Sunday night, terminated yester-JjMtemoon, the dispute ending in the masters gVug to concede half the demands in both the rate and the pay for overtime.

A meeting with the dock labourers was held J. last night, aud a collection made towards their funds. LATEST DETAILS. "0 change baa taken place as regards the rQdon strike. Both sides remain firm.
