Mutilated Worann Found Dying London Police I'nable to Find a Clevr to the Murderer. LONDON, May 2S. A sensational muidor end case of mutilation has occurred in a low lodging house in Dorset street, WhitechapeJ. close to the scene of the "Jack the Kipper" murders of 1S-SS. The victim, a woman named Annie Austin, twenty-eight years old, was found dying in a bedroom on Sunday morning, and was removed to a hospital, where she died. The- murderer escaped, and the police were not notified of the crime until early yesterday. The murderer's long start anJ the total lack of a description of him renders hii apprehension unlikely. The wounds on the lower part of the victim's body are too revolting for description. The woman was conscious when found, but died without making a statement. The police are apprehensive of further outrages, and a panic has been created In the neighborhood. DANGEHOLS CL'lllO. Doer General Killed, "Wife and OtherM Injnretl by a Lyddite Shell. PRETORIA.

Urses the Constitutional Convention to Take Conservative ActionSenator Morgan' Scheme. MONTGOMERY, Ala., May 2S. Booker T Washington, In behalf of his race, today presented to the constitutional convention an appeal for conservative action. The address reminds the convention that the negroes came here against their will, but have been benefited, trained and Christianized. They did their duty in the civil war and in the Spanish war. They havo ceased for twenty years to be an offensive element in politics. Leading members of the race have persistently urged the negro to learn to trust the white man. For these men this Is a crucial time. The negro pays some direct taxes. He pays much more indirectly through his labor. He is in the main a producer of wealth and generally contented and law-abiding. Already tho emigration, agent and exodus associations are at work on the negro's fears that his citizenship and schools will both be taken away. The relations are now reasonably satisfactory between the races. Anything that would unsettle the negro now, when he is settling down to thrift and commonsense, would injure both races. The address pleads that all incentive for right and useful living be not withdrawn from tne young nero. it concludes: "Any law which will merely change the name ani form of fraud, or can be interpreted as meaning one thing when applied to one race and something eise when applied to another, will not, in our opinion, improve our present conditions, but may unsettle the peace and thrift of our people aal decreasa the wealth and prosperity of Alabama." The leading feature of the suffrage clause offered to-day by ex-Governor Jones is that which denies the right to vote to "any person who shall hereafter be guilty and convicted of selling his own vote or buying or bartering the vote of another in any election or any primary, caucus or convention held to nomlnato persons for public office, or to elect delegates to any primary or convention, or who shall make or aid in making any false count, certificates or returns as to the result of such election, primary, caucus or convention, or who shall thereafter carry concealed weapons and be convicted thereof." Senator Morgan has prepared for tho consideration of the convention an address designed to support his suffrage clause. Senator Morgan's plan is simple. Nobody but a white man shall hold office. A court of three registrars Is provided for each county, and these courts shall have absolute power to determine the qualifications of every voter, save that an appeal from Its decision lies to the circuit. The real feature of the plan is in the provision that only white men shall hold ofUce. The registrar plan Is similar to that in Mississippi. except that the courts of registrars have a much wider discretion. Ohio Democrats. COLUMBUS. O..

Sreclal to the Indianapolis Jourral. KOKOMO, Ind., May 2S. The body of Aggio Long, aged fourteen, was found at 6 o'clock to-night in the Methodist Church at Sycamore, Howard county, the girl having committed suicide in the pulpit by shooting. While in the attitude of prayer, at the minister's chair, she sent a bullet through her heart. At 2 o'clock this afternoon she went to the church alone for organ practice. The act was premeditated, but no certain cause is known. It is supposed, however, that the fact that she recently failed to pass two examinations In the Sycamore school may have had something to do with it. She left a note on the organ telling how her funerai was to be conducted, naming the minister, the organist and the choir. Miss Long was a member of the choir and had been a devout member of the church. She was the daughter of JohnLong, of Sycamore. Ono brother is attending college at Marion ar.d another Is operator and railroad agent at Sycamore. Two of her slaters are school teachers. She was a niece -of John and Henry Lowe, of Kokomo. RIDDLE SUIT SETTLED. Compromise Is Effected and Case Is Taken Out of Conrt. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LOGANSPORT, Ind., May 2S. Late this afternoon through attorneys representing both sides a compromise was effected out of court in the case of the late Mrs. Anna M. M. Riddle against Charles S. Beckham, administrator of the estate of the late Horace P. Riddle. This was a case in which plaintiff sued for her widow's third of the estate and for possession of other property ihlch she claimed was hers. Shortly after the death of Judge Biddla Mrs. Biddle died and the case ha3 been carried on by the heirs of both, promising to be bitterly contested. By the terms of the compromise the plaintiff takes the famous Biddle library, and pays attorneys' costs in the suit. Th library has been appraised at $:,500, and Is ordred sold at private sale, for not less than the appraised value, the plaintiff dropping the suits as regards all other property. Important Demurrer Overruled. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH, Ind., May 23. In the Injunction suit of Mrs. Suoan Eagle and Mrs. Cynthia Johnson against the Wabash River Traction Company, which has held up the laying of track from Manchester avenue into the business part of the city on Wabash street. Judge Paulus to-day overruled the demurrer of the company to the complaint of tho two women, who are property owners and who want $2,000 damages each. The ruling foreshadows making the Injunction permanent, or requiring the company to pay damages to property owners r. Wabash street, which would be virtually prohibitory. It Is contended by the prosecution that the company Is not organized as a street railway, but under the general railroad statute of Indiana, and therefore has no right to the city streets. It has accepted a 4iU,0e subsidy as a railroad not as a street railroad, and if it enjoys the privilege of using the streets it cannot collect the subsidy, since the statutes do not provide for the payment of subsidies lo street railroads. Tho case will be tried on Friday. Chance of Venue Denied. JASPER. Ind., May 28.

IX .MEMORY OF SOLDIERS. llovr the Members of Jackson Post Conduct Decoration Service. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BLOOMINGTON, Ind.. May 2S. So long as any of the old soldiers of Jackson Post of the Grand Army of the Republic survive patriotism and the boauty of the annual Decoration day service will be cherished for its sentiment and simplicity. Jackson Post is made up largely of members of Companies D and II of the Eighty-second Indiana, of which the late General Hunter waa in command, and Its meeting place 13 Schooner, Brown county, in a township which gave to the Union army more soldiers, in proportion to its population, than any like territory in Indiana, and, perhaps, in the West. Annually the people gather from miles around to commemorate tho memory of the Nation's dead. On Sunday, in tho cemetery on the hill top, where are burled from year to year the comrades as they pass beyond, perhaps a thousand peoplo gathered to pay silent tribute. The old comrades in arms gathered near tho cemetery, and, headed by tho post commander, marched to appropriate music into tho cemetery, passing by each soldier's grave, where a wreath and bouquet of liowers were placed, halting at each sacred spot for a moment. The graves thus all decorated, the old veterans formed a circle about a grassy mound near the entrance to the cemetery, and with uncovered heads a patriotic and touching service followed in nonor of the soldier dead who lie burled in Southern cemeteries, on far-away battlefields, many numbered among the unknown dead. A flag waved at half-mast from tho sacred place, and tho band gave a dirge. The old chaplain read in faltering words the G. A. It. ritual. The post commander then announced that the old veterans would pay tribute to absent comrades, whose memory Is yet alive and dear, but who sleep in graves far distant. Each soldier in the circle held wreaths of flowers, aid one by one, ßtepplng forward to the mound, they tenderly placed the floral offerings, calling out, as they put down the tribute, the name of the soldier in whose memory the offering was made. One comrade paid a tribute to a brother who feil at Vicksburg; another placed a wreath on a mound in memory of a friend who died in Llbby prison; others offered a bouquet In honor of a fallen commander; one old veteran, aa he laid down a beautiful garland, tenderly said: "I make this tribute In memory of my old commander. General Hunter, the- hero of Chickamauga." And one by one the old soldiers placed flowers on the sacred mounds of brothers, friends, commanders. A mother came forward, and as she tenderly placed a wreath said it was in memory "of a son who fell at Chickamauga;" a wife named her husband, who died in a Southern prison, and near the close an old man laid a bunch of flowers upon the mcmnd "in memory of Bam Reddick, who died of disease near Manila," and whose body Is now homeward bound to be laid at rest in the little cemetery. The memorial address was given by Senator Fulk, who has taken part in the service for the paM six ytrs. Tho little Schooner graveyard has a historic interest. In it lie the remains of soldiers that fought in all our wars from that of the Revolution to the Insurrection in tho Philippines. The gravestones tell the following stories: In the War of the Revolution Thomas llatchett. War of 1S12 James Wise and Bluford Roddick. Black Hawk War Bluford Reddick (also in War of 1S12.)

Stirring nnd Cordial Welcome to tn City nnd StatePermanent Or gnidzutlon Effected. MEMPHIS. Tenn.. May 2S.-Nearly 2.MG members of the United Confederate Veterans, representing 1,1 camps of the organization, met in Confederate Hall this morning for their eleventh annual reunion. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. Gen. Joseph Wheeler and Gen. John B. Gordon were present. Before the meeting of the convention m Confederate Hall the Confederate Ladles Memorial Association held. In Calvary Church, a memorial meeting for Jefferson Davis, at which a memorial address was delivered by Bishop Thomas F. Gailor, oX the Episcopal Church. The exercises of to-day were almost entirely confined to tha welcoming addresses delivered by the representatives of the people of Memphis amj of the State of Tennessee, and by members of different organizations affiliated with ths United Confederate Veterans. The only actual business performed was the completion of the permanent organization and the appointment of the committees on resolutions and credentials. Th committee on resolutions will favorably report to the convention to-morrow a resolution suggesting that steps be taken to prevent men' who were deserters from th Confederate army procuring membership la the organization.

A FAMILY' QUARREL. rSevr nnd Old 3Iembers of Stock Ex chunge Disagree. W. G. Nicholas, in New Y'ork Telegraph. A membership on the New York Stock Exchange was sold yesterday for fcW.Oüü. That figure is $10.ou0 less than the last previous bid price and J11.0OJ below th last sale. The officials of the exchange refuse to divulge the name of the principals to the transaction. The panic, now ancient history to the extent of nearly two weeks, inflicted a froet on the membership boom. The reason, therefore, is patent. In tha first place, the average new member felt that an obligation rested on him to da something out of the ordinary to distinguish him from the ordinary run of brokers. In som instances that feeling led him into indiscretions that resulted ln panic slaughter. In other Instances it resulted in the financial murder of clients and customers. The complaint is lodged against the new members that they lost their heads anJ caused the panic to go ton to twenty points further than it would have gone had they been off tho Hoor during the exciting cata clysmic hours of that fateful Thursday. They stand charged with having gone upon tho floor and slaughtered melr clients la tho most foolish, not to say craty, manner conceivable. Felling them out without regard to conditions or the rights of principals. In fact, the new element bitterly resent the imputation that the panic is In any way attributable to their mistakes and charga that as many errors of judgment are. chargeable to the veterans as to the freehly Initiated members. They say that in mskir.g the assertion that the new members were especially responsible for the panlo the veterans have overstepped the limit anil are distinctly guilty of libel. Genuine bad f-eling has bevn engendered between tha older and the younger members consequent upon me panic ttnd its after effects. The quettion of resjonsibllity may not ever be settled. It Is hotly contested and down to date no committee of arbitration has been appointed to adjust the differences. Hence the two parties are standing 0. T, growling at each other.
