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.

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.
