London, Sept. 25—The present ex
traordinary epidemic of murders, sui
cides and outrages upon women in Lou
don and its vicinity is unequaled since
the days of “Jack the Ripper.’’ Daily,
for a week past, the public has been
startled by various murders, and the
alarm is increased by the fact that the
perpetrators of the crimes have all
baffled' the police and have escaped
without apparently leaving a clue as to
their identity.
A murder in a railroad carriage of
Miss Camp, in February last, the per
petrator of the crime not having been
discovered, has been followed by an
other railroad tragedy in which Mrs.
Bryan, the wife of Dr. Bryan of
Northampton, has been killed under
circumstances pointing to murder, and
the Rev. Dr- Price, tne well known di
vine, was killed by burglars at his resi
dence on Monday.
A little boy has been kidnaped and .
murdered in the suburbs, a rich miserly
woman has been found cut to pieces at
her residence. Bethel Green, and a
farmer’s daughter, Emma Johnson, has
been murdered at Windsor under pe
culiarly atrocious circumstances. Her
‘ body was mutilated, stripped and thrown
into the Thames.
The authors of all these outrages are
still at large and there seems to be no
trace of them, although the murderer
of Emma Johnson is believed to be a
maniac, whose actual identity Is not
known, but who, for months past, has
frightened and assaulted persons on the
road from Windsor to Maidenhead and
has always managed to elude capture.
•Duchess Cousuelo Delighted.
Vanity Fair, commenting on the joy
experienced by the Duchess of Marl
borough at giving birth to a direct heir
to Blenheim estate, says:
■*"Consuelo, who has been nearly off
her head with delight since, the fear
was removed of Lady Randolph Church
ill's son succeeding to - the dukedom, is
rapidly recovering and the family is
making as much fuss as though an heir
had been born to the throne. They take
care that everything is put in the pa
pers.”
There is widespread interest among
oarsmen at Saudow’s offers to train the
Cambridge crew for the boat race for
1898 with Oxford, and to back them to
'win. Sandow insists that the old meth
ods of dieting, living up to hard and
fast rules and. not smoking is wrong,
and he proposes in the event of Cam
bridge not accepting his offer to under
take the training of the Henley crews.
The presidents of the Oxford and Cam
bridge boat clubs are both considering
the subject and have been in communi
cation with Sandow. President Phil
lips of Oxford is keening a sharp look
out to see that Cambridge does not mo
nopolize the advantages promised by
Sandow.
The extent of the cricket craze here
finds evidence in the farewell banquet
given to Prince Banjitsinjhi, the popu
. lar Indian cricketer, at Cambridge, on
the eve of his departure on a cricketing
tour to Australia, 700 guests present in
cluded the mayor, aidermen and college
dons, and when the prince retired to
his hotel, the vast crowd of people gath
ered beneath his window, called him
out and cheered him to the echo.
Influenza Is Tnoreanh*<.
The medieftl press warns the public
against a probable recurrence of an in
fluenza epidemic. For months past that
disease has been raging in severe form
in the district of Mery, Turkistan. The
number of victims is immense, and al
though there are fewer deaths than
formerly, the virulence of the epidemic
is said to have increased, rather than
lessened. The latest reports show that
an attack of influenza leaves serious re
sults, such as heart affections, paraly
sis, etc.
The French newspapers not* with
much satisi..ction that the German mil
itary authorities are so exercised at the
progress made by the French military
bicyclists that they are training enor
mous wolf hounds to attack militant
• field men. The papers assert that daily,
on the outskirts of Berlin, the wolf
hounds are ‘rained to seize dummies in
French uniforms who have been perched
on bicycles.
The growth of London is astounding.
The latest r. turns on the subject show
that over 1,200 houses are erected
monthly in tbo metropolis. Between
the months f August, 1893, and Au
gust, 1897, ’1,591 houses were built.
The statement is repeated that the
Prince of Wales will siiortly visit the

MAJOR HANDY IS IN PARIS.
Special Cominlßuioiier to the French El
p' litiuu Ihghn <»rlc.
Paris, Sept. 25. Major Moses P.
Handy, the special commissioner from
the United Stages for the exposition of
1900, has lost no 'time in beginning
work, although he has been in Paris
only a few days. Major Handy is as
sisted by Lieutenant Baker, who was
connected with the Chicago exposition
as assistant chief of foreign transpor
tation of exnibits, and by Colonel Chail
lot Lory, who'is secretary to the special
commissioner.
In conversation with a representative
of the Associated Press Major Handy
made the following statement:
“There is a rapidly increasing inter
est in the United States with regard to
the exhibition of 1900. There has never
been any doubt about the people taking
hold of it with enthusiasm. But public
attention was so engrossed with the
presidential election, with an extra ses
sion of congress, with the tariff ques
tion, etc., that there was no time to de
vote to the exhibition. President Mc-
Kinley is very much interested in it
and sent two messages to congress con
cerning it.
"The reason why the bill appropri
ating $5,000,000 passed by the senate
did not get through the house was be
cause nothing went through. It was
thought best not to open the doors of
consideration to any questions except
that for which, congress was called to
gether, because' there were so many
meritorious subjects pressing. Mean
while United States’ interest in the ex
hibition is shown by the appointment
of a special commissioner.
“I am charged to confer with the au
thorities here, to give an earnest of our
good will, to secure ground for our ex
hibit, to prepare a report for Presideut
McKinley before congress again assem
bles, etc. Although we are late com
pared with other nations, we are 18
months earlier than the United Statqs
was for either the exhibitions of 1878 or
of 1889.”
BLOWS OUT HIS BRAINS.
luX-Inspector General of the Hex cau Po
lice Commits Suicide.
City of Mexico, Sept. 25.—Ex-In
spector General of Police Eduardo Ve
lasquez committed suicide in Bel am
prison. He was 32 years old. The in
spector blew his brains out with a re
volver. He recently confessed to taking
part in the killing of Arroyo, President
Diaz’s assailant.
A letter was found in the room in
which Velasquez made his statements
to the public, saying that his death
was, he felt, the satisfaction he owed to
society, and he should, therefore, give
that satisfaction by leaving the world.
He also said that the crime was sug
gested to him by Inspector Villavicen
cio of the second police district, who is
in prison.
Valesquez added that under any other
circumstances, not having been a high
official authority, nothing could have
induced him to take part in the crime.
He felt, it is said, that his loyalty to the
chief magistrate whose life had been at
tempted warranted him in putting Ar
xoyo to death.
A Report oh Georgia Schools.
Atlanta, Sept. 25. State School
Commissioner G. R. Glenn has prepared
his report of the work of Georgia’s
schools for the past year, and will pre
sent the same to the next session of the

of the state and the south, be intro
duced in the schools for the propaga
tion of southern history.

Cbumb of the Trouble—Vienna. the boene
of the EncoUhter'.
Vienna. Sept. 25.—A pistol duel was
fought between Count Badeni. the Aus
trian premier., and Dr. Wolff, the Ger
man Nationalist leader, arising from
insults addressed by the latter to the
premier during a recent session of the
Unterhaus. Count Badeni was wounded
in the right hand.
Count Badeui’s wound is not serious.
The bullet entered the wrist and went
out above the elbow.
Dr. Wolff fought a duel, with swords,
on May 8 last, with Herr Honea, a
Czech member of the Unterhaus. This
encounter grew out of the exciting
scenes which occurred in the house be
tween the Germans and Czechs, iu
which personalities were very freely in
dulged in.
Count Badeni was formerly governor
of Galicia, is a young and able Pole ana
was very little known even in Austria
until he was unexpectedly called unon
to form a cabinet in September, 1895,
when he assumed the duties of presi
dent of the council of 'ministers and
minister of interior. His nobility only
dates back to his father. His mother’s
brother, a Count Meir, married the fa
mous German actress, Anna Wier Sr.
who eventually left her large fortune to
her two nephews. Count Casimir Ba
deni, the present premier of Austria,
and his younger brother.
A BRITISH SHIP OVERDUE.
Th. Halmeman Now Two Hundred and
Fifteen l>ay, Out.
San Francisco, Sept. 25. —The Brit
ish ship Hahnemau is now out 215 days
from Newcastle-on-Tyne and re-insur
ance is being paid on hull and cargo.
The vessel is laden with coal and sea
faring men and underwriters are begin
ning to wonder if anything has hap
pened to her. She was last spoken on
June 25 in latitude 55 south, longitude
78 west, and the captain reported ‘all
well.” On July 7 and 8. last, the Brit
ish ship Afghanistan, just arrived from
a passage of 165 days from Liverpool,
was iu a terrific hurricane in latitude 56
south, longitude 57 west.
There was an unusually heavy cross
sea, the vessel was swept time and
again and finally the cargo shifted. At
that time bad weather was encountered.
Captain Oragie reported the vessel'was
21 days off the Horn and during nearly
all of the time the decks were full of
water up to the rail.
VICTORY FOR SOUTHERN.
Judge Newman Will Not Force Road to
Carry Original Packages.
Atlanta, Sept. 25.—Judge Newman
refused to compel the Southern railway
to carry the packages as prepared by
the Bluthenthal & Bickart Co., whisky
dealers, into South Carolina, while
their case is pending.
The Bluthenthal & Bickart Co. asked
for an order to compel the road to carry
their goods until a settlement of this
original package case one way or other
could be reached.
This practically means that all South
Carolina bus ness of the Bluthental &
Bickart Co. is at an end until the ease is
decided, for they refuse to conform with
the Southern’s demand.
Saws Cut Him Into Shreds.
Sumter, S. 0., Sept. 25.—William
Anderson, an employe at Edgar Skin
ner’s giuhouse, met with a horrible
death. He was standing in front of
the gin, which was running at a high
rate of speed. Stooping down he reached
his left arm underneath the rapidly re
volving saws, and in some way his
sleeve was caught by the teeth of the
saws. In an instant the unfortunate
man was jerked up to the front of the
gin and held fast while his arm was cut
into shreds. As soon as possible the
machinery was stopped and Anderson
was extricated, but the deadly saws bad
done their work, and before a physician
could reach him he died.
Uamages For Son's Death.
Eatonton, Ga., Sept. 25.—The su
perior court for the past two days has
been engaged in the trial of the case of
Mrs. Barnett against the Middle Geor
gia and Atlantic railroad. The suit was
for the death of her son, who was a
brakeman on that road. He was killed
during September of last year. The
theory of the plaintiff was that young
Barnett, who was about 18 years old,
was killed by the negligence of the rail
road company, which left a drain in the
yard at Eatonton uncovered. The jury
found a verdict in favor of the plaintiff
for $3,000.
Sultan Takes a Firm stand.
Paris, Sept. 25.—The Politique Colo
nial publises a dispatch from St. Peters
burg saying that as a result of an ex
change of views between the chancel
leries of St. Petersburg, Paris, Berlin,
Vienna, Rome and Constantinople, the
sultan of Turkey will address the pow
ers shortly 'on the subject of Great
Britain’s evacuation of Egypt and Rus
sia. The sultan will invite a conference
at Constantinople or St. Petersburg
with the object of settling the question
on the basis of the autonomy of Egypt
under the suzerainty of the sultan.

AN ERRATIC ARCHDUKE.
Career •< the Heir Presumptive to the
Austrian Throne.
The recently reported marriage of
the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir
presumptive to the throne of Austria,
to a woman who not only has a brothel
who is a tradesman, but has herself
been a housekeeper, has furnished an
other royal scandal and again brought
the house of Hapsburg into unsavory
prominence. Os course the report has
been stoutly denied., but that has not
stopped the gossip, and the career oi
the archduke is being industriously re
viewed.
Franz Ferdinand is the eldest son oi
the late Archduke Karl Ludwig of Aus
tria, brotherof Emperor Francis Joseph,
and the future ruler of Austria and
Hungary. He is 34 years old and one of
the richest men in Europe. While still
a child he inherited all the immensa
wealth of the Este branch of the Haps
burgs. At the age of 8, however, he
was promptly handed over to the Jes
uits that he might be brought up free
from the contamination of the Austrian
court.
Thus it happened that when he came
of age he found himself in possession oi
a vast income and a large amount oi
oats of the wild variety and entirely
unsown. As was quite natural, he pro
ceeded to make up for lost time. He
struck such a rapid gait that the emper
or banished him. At that time there
was little prospect of his ever reaching
the throne, but the sudden sensational
Jelli
ARCHDUKE FRANZ FERDINAND.
death of Crown Prince Rudolph made
him an important personage. He was
hastily recalled, and the emperor cour
ageously undertook the task of his ref
ormation. He took the erring heir pre
sumptive in hand, lectured him long
and earnestly and kept him constantly
under his eye.
Franz Ferdinand did his best appar
ently to learn the duties and demeanor
of a modern ruler and soon became
quite a different.man. Then his royal
uncle tried to arrange a marriage be
tween- him and the Archduchess Doro
thea, but the latter upset this plan by
becoming the Duchess d’Orleans. Then
the archduke developed symptoms of
consumption. Finding that he had ap
parently little chance of reigning after
all, it seems he has fallen into his old
ways.
No Opponent For Norton.
Columbia, S. C., Sept. 25.—The gen

Sixth congressional district to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Senator McLaurin is to be held Oct. 12.
So far no Republican candidate has
been announced against James Norton,
the Democratic nominee. Mr. Norton’s
only danger will be a failure of the peo

Denver, Sept. 25. —On the first of

London, Sept. 25.—A special dispateh
