London, Sept. 11.—Although the murder discovered here in the Whitechapel district is generally spoken of as the work of the mysterious Jack the Ripper, a close examination of all the f cts leads to the conclusion that this murder is not of the Ripper series. The police and the medical men familiar with the details of the recent London horrors of this class say that this last murder must be classified with those known as the embankment murders, of which there have now bccu four in all, including the one in which the headless boAy of the victim was recently discovered in Chelsea, and of which the head has never been found. Although there is a general resemblance between the horrible work of the two murderers, both taking special pains to mutilate their victims and to carry off portions of the bodies, each carries off a different portion.

More than twenty shots were fired by the desperadoes as they retreated toward the Tuscarawas river, Marshal Hagans was struck in the right breast, but luckily the missile came in contaot with a rib and glanced outward and into his arm, A citizen named Lee Ringer caught a 38- caliber ball in his thigh, Hundreds of men accompanied Sheriff Manner and posse in pursuit of the tramps. Both attempted to cross the river, but one of them being unable to swim, was caught floundering in the deep water and quickly hurried to the jail. His companion gained the opposite shore and at once disappeared in the high weeds. The crowd closed in and called upon him to surrender, but the villain raised his revolver to shoot the man nearest him. Before he oould take aim, Jack Rose, one of the sheriff's assistants, brought his Winchester to his shoulder and fired. The ball took effect in the tramp's left arm and plowed a frightful wound through the flesh, coming ptltl at the elbow.

Through a failure of the signal of the bridge tender to be sent up Um line the engineer was unaware that the drawbridge wag open until within leas than 400 feet of the open draw. Notwithstanding his great peril, he remained bravely at his post, inatamly put on all brakes and reversed his engine. With the driving wheels spinning in a backward direction, the swift flying train fairly did along the rails but fortunately, Juat as the pilot of the engine had passed over the yawning chasm of the draw, the train's momentum was overcome, the driving wheals caught the rail, and soon. moved slowly back uniil a distance of safety wsa reached.

'•The f-eform in taxation," says the platform, "should follow the lines laid down in Governor Green's inaugural address of six years ago, The attempt of the Republican legislature to impose a genera) state tax is denounced as extravagant, and as il}ten4ed to unduly relieve corporations from their share of public burden. The law, regulating employment of children should be strictly enforced. The platform pledgos the party to educational and agricultural advancement.

London, Sept. 11.—Although the murder discovered here in the Whitechapel district is generally spoken of as the work of the mysterious Jack the Ripper, a close examination of all the f cts leads to the conclusion that this murder is not of the Ripper series. The police and the medical men familiar with the details of the recent London horrors of this class say that this last murder must be classified with those known as the embankment murders, of which there have now bccu four in all, including the one in which the headless boAy of the victim was recently discovered in Chelsea, and of which the head has never been found. Although there is a general resemblance between the horrible work of the two murderers, both taking special pains to mutilate their victims and to carry off portions of the bodies, each carries off a different portion.
