train arrived. Ivl trh’n and several
oflii s fo rc.e we r /•. Ihc re Wl l anl he
train arrived it was almost dark
a: da light min was fading. The
chief sleppt and to the conductor ami
nqaired what was the trouble. Ho
said,“Don't you see those two men
going down the track (lhev had
gotten off on the re it of the coach)
Ihej are heavily armed with two
large pistols which they have been
lingering with ever si nee th-v got
on." Capt, Martin smiled and look
ed down the railr >ad and saw the
two men walking slowly; he follow
ed and overtook them and ask
where they were going. '1 hey told
him they were hunting a cheap
boardinghouse, Martin told them
il was against the rules of the com
pany and the city to go through the
cut. but ifthey would return with
him he w o.ild show them to a cheap
boarding house They returned.
Martin lead the way up the street
to police headquarters in front of
the desperadoes and, behind them
about a half-block, were several ot
the police force. When Martin
reached headquarters there were a
flight of stops to go up; he fold
them to com© up; they followed,
but Rube seeing on the door the
letters “police headquarters,” he
asked what it, meant. Marlin told
him they were under arrest, where
upon Rube wheeled and ran down
the stops, drawing his Colt's navy
six as he went rushing through the
police at the foot, but Marlin had
nailed Jim and they were having
a tight scuffle when some of the
force came to his a?sasfauce, and
no time was lost in turning the
key on Jim.
In the meantime Rube had been
pursued by a part of the force, who
had fired several shots at him and
were hailing everyone to “catch
him!” when a private citizen nam
ed Neal was corning down the
street in front of Rube, and didn’t
know Rube was the “catch him”
until he had passed Rube who,
was in “I don’t care whether I run
or not” move. Mr. Neal was fleet
of foot, and he turned and over
took the desperado within a few
feet of a gas-lapip. Rube halted,
and in the twinkling of an eye sent
a -IS bullet through Mr. Neal’s
body—the ball entering the abdo
men at the pit of the stomach and
coming out by lhe right of the spin
al column—leaving a hole seem
ingly, that an ordinarily base-bill
could have went through. But lit
tle hopes were entertained fot Mr.
Neal’s recovery; but he survived.
Rube made la's escape, but ling
ered around several days and
nights, eluding the police in differ
ent parts of the city, with the hope
of rescuing Jim. Daring this elu
sion he was reported to have beer,

Jack, the Ripper.
London, July 29. —The following
starl nv and appalling story relating
to the Whitechapel awooitics was fur
nished- the correspondent ’ast n’ght,
and if it proves tri e, it will show that
the really sensational elements of tbo
horrible crimes have either heretofore
been unknown to the London police,
or, if known, have been successfully
suppressed bom the public until now.
The perpetrator of the Whitechapel
butcheries is a woman, so tbo story
joes. Lie seated that this allegation i
is rot based oa a theory, but a fact*. |
The letters signed by Jack, tbe Rip
per, were thus signed to lead to the
supposition that tho murderer was a
man, and tbe reason why all of the
victims selected by tbe murderess were
women, was because the tigress who
has vilely treated her subjects is in
sane from jealousy.
Great surprise has been expressed
at tbe fact that, so many murders
could be committed in such a thickly
populated locdity as is the Erst End,
and that tbe man who did the killing
could escape, especially as all of tbe
fallan women cf London have been on
their guard for months past. There
need be no longer any astonishment
felt on that score, since it is known
that the victims of the knife wieldor
had do suspicion that the bloody work
was feeing carried on by one of their
sex. The murderess could approach a
woman without being suspected, be-
causo she was s woman herself, fihe
could discuss the murders with her
dissolute companions, and on tbe pie
tense of illustrating bow the butcheries
were committed would pass Ler left
arm around tbo victim’s bead, cover
ing the eyes and pulling tbe head back
with tbe one hand, while she drew her
knife across the throat with the other.
Gad a man attempted such a thing bis
actions would have elicited EOrearas
that surely would have attracted atten
tion sufficiently .'•con m insure Lis caj -
