Clubs. _____ SLASHED HIS VICTIM. Horrible Crim 1 ot a Polish Jack the Ripper. Another frightful atrocity, similar to those committed by Jack the Ripper, is reported from Benthen, on the Polish frontier. The body of a woman was found behind the military hospital in that town. It was mutilated in the usual manner, the abdoman being cut open from the navel down and other injuries inflicted too horrible to describe. The victim has been identified as the wife of a tailor named Imielau, who has been arrested, but he gave an account of himself which frees him ^^fron^uspicfon o f the crime. In the examination by the police Imioiau, however, furnished information which leads to the belief that his wife had been intimate with Dr. Kudelka, a surgeon in the military hospital. The doctor is now under arrest on suspicion of having committed the murder. He is connected with some of the best familiqs : and has been very popular as a physician and a society man. SUNK THE MONITOR HUASCAR. Chilian Rebals Lost Two Vessals in the Engagement at Caldera Bay Late advices from Caldera Bay, the scene of the recent engagement between the naval forces of the government and those of the insurgents, say that in addition to the loss of the insurgent ironclad Blanco Encalada, the monitor Huascar, which was also in the rebel service, was sunk by the explosion of torpedoes. After the engagement had been concluded the government fleet returned unharmed to Valparaiso. The warship Florence has joined the insurgents. The statement is made that so fearful has President Balmaceda become of an attempt being made to poison him that his mother has assumed the exclusive charge of the preparation of his meals.

He says: “What right have these killing Pinkertons —mere Hessians, fighting anywhere and anybody for pay —to hold mobs in check, to put down rioters, to evict strikers? Thank God, these hired rfTtlians have not yet been called in to help any city or corporation in the ‘barbarous South.’ ” STRIKING MINERS THREATEN TROUBLE. A Large Body of Troops Ordered to Bochum, . in Wostpba'in. A large body of troops was ordered to Bochum, in Westphalia, the scene of the miners’ strike. The latest news from Bochum represents the miners as very excited and much enraged against the mine owners. The police arc inadequate in numbers to preserve the peace and the military may meet with a warm reception, as the miners are mostly armed and act under the direction of chosen leaders. Englishmen Buying Coil Mines. A deal which has been pending in London for the last three months has been closed, and an English syndicate has purchased 4,000 acr< s of coal land near Newcastle, Wyoming, for §75,003. An agent will arrive at. New Castle within a month to inaugurate further development of the property. These . mines at present produce 300 carloads of coal a day. It is proposed to increase the output to 500 carloads within a yea,. Mrs. Eaton May Rec-v r Mrs. Eaton, President Harrison's sister, who was supposed to have been fatally injured in a runaway accident, recovered consciousness during the night, and the doctor who is attending her says she seems to be improving, with some chances of recovery. The Hearing Postponed. The United States Supreme Court, owing to the illness of Justice Bradley, has postponed the hearing of arguments In the Behring Sea and lottery cases until Oct. 19. In Memory of Grant Ground has been broken in Riverside Park, New York, for the Grant monument. Mysterious Death of an Alibama Doctor. The body of Dr. Edward A. Rose was found near Huntsville, Ark. There was a bullet hole in the skull and a pistol near the corpse. The body was badly decomposed. Dr. Rose had been missing for nearly a week, and whether his death was caused by murder or suicide is a mystery. Two Boys Drowned. Two boys, out of a party of ten, were drowned by the upsetting of a sailboat in the Delaware River.

EVENTS OF THE WEEK. EASTERN OCCURRENCES. Members of the Hamilton an Schuyler families have joined in a petition to the Mayor of New York, asking that no ylaco be designated in that city as a location for the public fountain for which the will of Robert Ray Hamilton provided. Those who oppose this use of money disclakn pecuniary interest in the mat- ' ter. Their objection is based upon family pride. They are very sensitive for the good name of the families upon which Alexander Hamilton and General Philiu Schuyler brought distinguished honor. Such a memorial as the will designates would, they believe, perpetuate a name that brought dishonor to the family.

Mrs. Maby Sullivan, aged 65, residing in Pittsburg, arose from her bed, secured a carving knife, and made a desperate assault upon her husband, who was lying upon the bod asleep. Before the old man could escape he had received a bad gash on the left side, had one hand almost severed from the wrist, and a deep cut in the throat. Sullivan finally took the knife away from his wife and ran to the door to call help. Mrs. Sullivan went up stairs and with a razor cut a terrible gash in her own throat. Mrs. Sullivan has been slightly demented for two years and will die. Mr. Sullivan will recover. At Boston. R. T. Almy & Co., clothiers, have assigned. The concern did a large business and the liabilities will bo heavy. Mrs. Mary A>” • tson, white, aged 62, has been convicu I at Philadelphia of murder in the second degree, in being accessory to the killing of John Smith, colored. Smith was killed by Mrs. Watson’s son-in-law during a quarrel. At Now York there are three men sick with yellow fever on board the United States and Brazil mail steamship Advance, which arrived from Rio .Pineiro. Three others were so ill with the dread disease that the#’ were landed before the vessel reached port Dr. Skinner, of the quarantine health office, reports that the crisis of their disease has been passed | and that thqre is no danger that infee- I tion can spread from them. The vessel J will be detained for fumigation. There I were no steerage passengers. While Frank V. Emerson with his j wife and child were driving at Aust Leb- ; anon, N. IL, the horse bad a fit and I plunged into the Mascoma River. Mrs. I Emerson was drowned. Wallace, Elliott Co., shoe manufacturers of Haverhill, Mass., who transacted a business of §300,000 a year, have shutdown on account of dull trade, throwing 250 hands out of employment. Jack the Ripper is believed by the police to have at, last come to New York. 1 In the East River Hotel, the- body of a wretched woman was found with her abdomen horribly cut and her bowels protruding. Her name is not known. The resort in which her body was found is one of the lowest in the city. The, woman was known about the neighborhood as one of the half-drunken creatures who hang about the low resorts of Water street and the river side She came to the hotel in company I with a many who registered as Knicloi I and wife. The couple were assigned to j a room on the upper floor and went to it : at once. Nothing was seen or heard of | them during the night. No ery or un- 1 usual noise was heard. In the morning! the attendant rapped on the door of' Im* room occupied by the couple. There ' was no answer and he rapped again, ! with no better result, and finally broke in the door. A horrible sight met his gaze. On the bed lay the woman in a > big pool of blood She had been dead ! for hours. On the woman’s back near ’ the base of the spine the mark of a cross ‘ had been made with the knife. Similar | marks wemi found on the bodies of the , London victims of Jack tlw> Ripper. Judge John S. Bingham, a well- , known New York lawyer and counselor ; for Jay Gould, died at Plain field, N J. ! He had gone to be treated by Dr. Fie’d { for Bright’s disease The accounts of Marshall C Percival ! ex-cashier of the Shoe and Leather National Bank of Auburn, Me., are now said to be thousands of dollars short It i is thought that the shortage will aggro- j gate nearly §IOO.OOO.

Nine hundred stove moulders have , quit and joined the strikers to prevent the running of cars. Tracks Mere torn : up on three lines and obstructions have ! been placed on every line. The men the company had hired to take the strikers’ j places refuse to take out cars and the police are tired out. The switches and j turnouts were at many points filled with concrete, so that a pick was ncces- j sary to clear them. Nothing can now save the nook of ! murderer Ford, of Ottawa, 111., who is I sentenced to bo banuod on May 9. In a ■ letter F. G. Allen. Ford’s chief attorney, j says that he has given up the fight be- . cause he became convinced of Ford’s guilt, and that he will not further inter- j sere between Ford and the rope. Ford is apparently resigned to his fate, though cursing Iris attorneys for not spending their own money to take his case t > the Supreme Court. Frank Price, a-ged 25, was literally 1 cut to pieces in a row with James Harris j at St. Louis. Word comes from Walla Walla of a bloody conflict between 150 soldiers and a sheriff’s guard. The peculiarity of the affair is that it was probably the first instance recorded where soldiers, armed ’ and uniformed, hvvc resorted to mob violence against the civil authorities. A. J. Hunt, a gambler, became engaged In an altercation with Private Miller and struck him in the face. Miller returned the blow and was getting the best of the tight, when Hunt drew a revolver from his hip pocket and shot Miller dead. A mob at once collected. The Sheriff, fearing an attempt to lynch Hunt, swore in a number of citizens as special deputies, armed them wita rifles, and placed them inside the jail, with instructions to guard the prisoner at all hazards. The jail was surrounded by fully 150 z soldiers, who demanded the surrender of Hunt. The Sheriff refused,

hot words were exchanged, and ' ' of the deputies fired upon tbn B®veral 8 ® vera l who answered with a volley ' rp oldiors > patches say half a dozen ncron dls ” killed and many wounded An wel ’° I shooting, the soldiers battered i the j door of the jail and riddled n the I bullets. oa H ’<nt with | At Findlay, Ohio, the Stands i I Manhattan Oil Companies are J d aud spirited war for the control of tS® n??

SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. At Loudon, a reception was given by the medical pr<«fession to Dr. Wiliam Salmon, of Glamorganshire, who is probably the oldest living member of the medical profession in England, if nd in the world. He was born in Suffolk 101 years ago, and tho fact I- corrobonted by the appearance of his name upon the list of members of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 1809, whe/he was but 19 years old.

A tremendous explosion shook tho city of Rome to its foundations, spreadi ing terror and dismay on all sides, and resulting in seven deaths and more or less serious injuries to 250 persons. The people rushed affrighted from their homes into the streets. Houses rocked, pictures fell from the walls, thousands of panes of glass were broken everywhere, crockery was shattered, furniture was overturned, chimneys crashed down upon the roofs and in some instances toppled

I over into the streets nelow. Final- , ly, when something like order had ■ been restored, the real cause of the ex > plosion became known. It was discov- ) ■ cred that the immense powder magazine i at Pofze Pantaleo, four kilometers <l s. i tant, containing 265 tons of powder had exploded. All the houses within a radius । of a kilometer of the scene of the cx- , plosion are seriously damaged. Sig ( Nicotoru, Minister of tho Interior, stated in tho Chamber of Deputies that fortyeight persons were injured at the scene of the explosion and that about 200 persons in Rome weio slightly hurt. The Minister of War said there were 265 tons of powder in the magazine, but that none of tho new exp'osive, balestito, was stored there. It is surmised that the explosion resulted from slow combustion of tho powder. Two officers were dangerously wounded, and fully 120 civilians have been taken to the different hospitals suffering from wounds or bruises caused by the explosion. King Humbert, who was heartily cheered whenever his presence became known to the populace and soldiery, used his own carriage to convey wounded people to tho hospital. Field Marshal Count von Moltke is dead. Ho attended the session of tho Reichstag held at Berlin in the afternoon. and in tho evening ho died.

Tho first Napoleon was then in tho zenith of his glory, and his star continued in tho ascendant during all the earner years of Moltke’s boyhood. Tho name of the Corsican cast a shadow in all those years over every German fireside and gave color to the character of tho rising generation. Every German youth burned with the ambition to assist in the humiliation of France. But few of them lived to give such reality to their dreams as did Von Moltke Before the opportunity camo, the great majority ot the boys of Napoleon’s dav had met a foe they could not con iuer. The Czar is pushing with severity tho work of converting non-conformist j Russians to tho < rthodox faith.

MAKING SOCIAL CALLS. I PRESIDENT HARRISON WARMLY GREETED EVERYWHERE. A Galventon Procession in H s HonorSome Enthusiasts at Atlanta Give Him*a ■ Rousing Reeeption-Los Angeles ht.eets I Carpeted with Flo^ver.«. nL d n tho P orson of Frestdcnt mriiu n ’ iaS br ‘ eu makin K a few social calls upon some of his tenants. When the 1 residential party reached Chat- i tanooga,, Tenn., fully 3,000 people were ' assembled at tho station. A salute of 1 thirteen guns was fired as the President I descended from the steps of the train in i tho 1 nion Depot. The pillars of the do- ' pot were draped with the national colors, : and wcavdd in evergreens; aliove tho 1 main exit to the street were tho words “Welcome to President Harrison.” The reception committee numbered fifty, and was composed of leading citizens and representative colored men. Iho party vis.ted Lookout Mountain and, returning, were driven through tho principal streets. Tho business houses along the line of thePresident^s route were handsomely decorated, flags and bunting floating from every window. President Harrison was introduced by Hon. 11. Clay Evans, and was greeted with dcafeaning cheers. The President spoke a quarter of an hour. He*was followed by Secret»rioa Wanamaker and Proctor A reception upon tho stand followed, a ,na ^ of people passing hurriedly forTho t’res/dfent during^his speech said?" My fellow-citizens, 1 have greatly enjoyed tho opportunity of seeing Chattanooga again. I saw it last as the camp of a great army. Its only industries were military, its stores were munitions of war, its pleasant hill-tops wore torn with rifle-pits, its civic population the attendants of an army campaign. I see it to-day a great city, a prosperous city. To-day I see these hill-tops, then bristling with guns,crowned with happy homes; I seo these streets, through which the worn veterans of many campaigns then marched, made glad with the presence of happy children. Everything is changed. The wand of an enchantress has touched these hills, and old Lookout, that frowned over the valley from which the plow had been withdrawn, now looks upon the peaceful .industries of country life. All things are changed, except that the flag that then floated over Chattanooga floats here still. [Cheers.] It lias passed from the hands of thi< veterans who bore it to victory in battle into the hands of the children, who lift it as an emblem of peace. [Cheers.] Then Chattanooga was war’s gateway to the South. Now It is the gateway to peace, commerce and prosperity, [Cheers.] There have been two conquests, one with arms, the other with the gentle influence of peace, and the last is gie-ater than the first. '[Cheers.] The first is only great as it made way for that which followed, and now, one again in our devotion »o the constitution and tho laws, one again in the determination that the severance of the Federal relations of thC'C States shall never again be raised, we have started together up m a career of prosperity and development that has as yet given only tlie signs of what is to come. I congratulate Tennessee, I congratulate this prosperous city, I congratulate all those who, through this gatewav. give and receive the inter- 1 changes of friendly commerce that there is being wrought throughout our country, a 1 unification by commerce, a unification by similarity of institutions and habits that 1 shall in time erase every vestige of difference, and shall make us not only in contem- * plation of the law, but in heart and sym- j pathy, one people. [Cheers.] I thank you I for your cordial greeting to-day, and hope 1 for the development of tho industries of < our country and for the settling of our insti- ] tutions upon the firm basis of a respect for , the laws. In this glad springtime, while , tho gardens kt o full of blossoms nml t l.n . ■ fields give tho promise ot another Uurvval, ’ and your homes are full of happy children, 1 let us th'ank God for what He has wrought < for us as a people, and each in our place ( resolutely maintain the great idea upon which every thing is bullded—the rule of , tho majority constlfutlonally expressed and ! the absolute equality of all men before the ’ law. [Cheers. | < Rolling south, the train pulled Into Cartersville, Ga., xvherc a great crowd welcomed the party. Tho President spoke as follows: My friends. I have had great pleasure to-day in passing over s >me parts of the old route that I took once before under very dilTercnt and distressing circumstances, to find how easy it is, when we are all agreed, to travel between Chattanooga and Atlanta. 1 am glad to sec the evidences of prosperity that abound through your country, and I wish you In all your relations every human good. [Cheers. ] At Marietta the party was joined by a Reception Committee from Atlanta, consisting of Mayor Hemphill, Ex-Governor Bullock, Capt. John Milledge, Gen. J. R. Lewis, S. M Inman, Col. AV. L. Calhoun, President of the Confederate Veterans’ Association: Col. A. J. West, of Governor Northen's staff, and seventeen members of the City Council. They came from Atlanta in a special train. At Atlanta, Ga., an accident occurred at the time of tho '’resident’s arrival that might have resulted in injury to tho President and Mrs. Harrison had it hap; 1 ened a few minutes sooner. It resulted from tbe military salute fired in honor of the President. The cannon used for this service was mounted on a flat car at a siding near the track over which tho Presidential car ran. In order to give emphasis to tlreir work the soldiers having charge of the cannon discharged it just as the President’s train was passing on an adjoining track. The concussion was tremendous, and shattered three thick plate glass window panes in tho dining car Coronado, immediately next th ■ seats assigned to tho special use of the President and Mrs. Harrison. Luckily these seats were uno -copied at tho time. A colored waiter who was standing in the aisle of the car was thrown down by the explosion. He was, however, more frightened than hurt The Presidential party was at the other end of the train at the time and knew nothing of the accident until informed of it afterward. When the Presidential train entered At'anta Governor Northen advanced and received the party. The Governor said: I am glad to welcome your excellency to the State of Georgia.
