The Seventh Vietim, | Copyriaht 185 by James Gordon Bennett.l Loxpoy, Nov. 9.—[New York Herald Cable-—Special to Tue Bee.]--The Prince of Wales' birthday and lord mayor's day this morning opened with a ghastly act of cele- bration. While Sandingham and Marlbor- ough houses were filled with joyous echoes Whitechapel was again suffering horrors. ‘While the lord mayor was parading the ots with gorgeous surroundings, his po- am. stro Tice v bles whercin lay the body of another muti- lated, hapless woman, the seventh vietim. 1 visited the fateful locality at noon. Strong bodies patrolled the neighborhood, “locking the stable door after the horse was stolen.” Why were they not about last night, and the night before, and every night since the last murder! was @ common expression of the excited whom the cordon of the hed sac in which Jane Kelly, alias for months ot even reporters were allowed within the po- lice line, 1t det. this time to keep the clues from being effaced, tampered with or distorted. bloodhounds were to be employed aud the scent must not be obliterated, All kinds of conflicting and contradictory The locale of these mur- oro again around the wretched crowds kept ae Mary alias Ging from wr constables little cul bad lived Fisher, rmined was Moreover, storics were aflout. derers' streets, one called Hamburg and an- other Princes, run to a_ point like Seventh avenue and Broadway run together at Forty- third street.

So limited is the whole sanguinary territory that all those slaughter spots are only n gunshot from the great London hospi- tal. Dr. Gabe, of Mecklenburg square, ex- medical ofticial, was fresh from the horrible sight n the squalid apartment, immediately off the wretched court, and which had for furniture an oil stove, two rickety chairs and asqualid bedstead, at the head of which was & piece of lookingglass, such as one buys in Petticont lane for a Lalf penny. He said that in all his cxperience in dissect- ing rooms never had he soen such ghastli- ness.

The way i which the murder was done, and o in which the body was left, The theory T to the some homi: crimes 1 pel. the strange sf is not_consistent with sanity. stated some time ago has come true letter. This was, that the murderer had lucid intervals, and would recommence directly this state had passed away. It ap- pears that the authoritics are forgetting this theory, and that some one had been persuad- ing them that from the fuct that so long a time intery n the murders he could not be a homicidal maniac. I desire, personally originally responsible for the theory to flatly deny this, and state more cmphatically than ever that the murderer is one and the same person, and that he is a lunatic suffering from homicidal monomania, who, during lucid intevvals, is calw and for- getful of what he has being doing. Unless those in authority take the proper steps and drop the red-tapism surrouuding the government office, such crimes will con- tinue in our metropolis to the terror of Lon- don. It appears to me a burning question of the hour. It is only necessary to add that no possible clue exists. Arrests are being made of inno- cent persons as before, and the oddost stories are started by reporters for sensational papers. The police are said to be reticent of their cour ned betw as e. ————— DAKOTA'S JUBILEE.

Brass bands nd fully one thousaud torches and eighty transparencies with ap- propriate mottos were in lme. Duakota’s wrongs were grotesquely set forth on many of the transparencies, ringing speeches were made by Judges Bennett, Church and Cor- sen and other prominent citizens.

Nov, 10.- Telogram to Tie Bee,|—The morning papers to~day pre dict a general freight war among the western roads on account of the Northwestern's cut of yesterday between here and Omaha. The situation, however, in western freight mat ters is not as serious as has been reported. The freight complication has grown out of contracts or. packing house products from the Missouri to Chicago made by the Alton, which are 8o much lower than the regular Chicaco, S 2il§ cent rate that other roads, to save their business, must meet the list. This contract rate of the Alton lasts until January 1, after which no disagreement is anticipated. President Hewitt, of the Northwestern declares that there is nothing sensational in the notice of the reduction on packing house products, cattle and hogs from the Missouri river to Chicago. “Our proposition is just this,” he said. “The Burlington and other roads have made a reduction from 27l4 cents to its on packing house products. The Illinois Cen- tral has made a corresponding reduction from Sioux City. It is the determination of the Northwestern to have this rate adjusted fairly. Under the rales of the association, of which the Northwestern 1s a_ member, ten days notice of a change of vates “and & like notice of the probable rate to be made is required. In naming the -cent rate we have only named the minimum rate, It can be made as much higher as_we can agree upon. In other words, We have no new ra 1t is simply o notice that we want the rate adjusted on a fairer basis. It is manifest that' the reduc- tion on dressed meats to 12 cents instead of 2715 cents 18 a very unequal and unjust ap- portionment of the rate. I do not think that there is any immediate probability of a freight war among western roads.”” P. D. Armour knew little and_apparently cared less about the cut in freight rates. It is a matter that concerns us but little, if any,” said he. “Our packing house products are all shipped cast from here. Any reduc- tion in rates will hardly affect us, as there will be acorresponding reduction in live stock rates." Assistant General Freight Agent Rose, of the Burlington, said the reduction to 12 cents was made on’ account of the Alton cut. The Alton rate has been in_force for some time, and we were compelled to mect it, so that the packing houses in the upper Missouri points, which bought hogs on the same territory West of the Missouri river, could compete with the southwest Mis- souri river points. Every effort was made to et the Alton to_restore its rate, but in- fluences beyond the control of the Alton road made the attempt unsuccessful. The Alton contract only lasts to December 3, and rates will probably be re-cstablished January I The rate is one of the results of the in- discriminate cutting going on during the summer months.

La Crosse, Wis,, Nov. 10.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.]—Mrs. Dell Gurley, of La Crosse, Minn., died suddenly of heart dis- ease Wednesday night and the attendant circumstances, as learned to-day, discloso something of the tragic nature. Mr. Pick- ard, who boards at Gurley's had a dispute about politics with D, C. Cameron during the day, and in the evening Cameron came to the house to settle it. Pickard tried to per- suade him to let the matter rest until the next day, and meet him at some other place, but Cameron would not wait and struck him, whereupon Pickard gave Cameron a terrible threshing, breaking his arm and drawing $0 much blood us to smear the floor and porch. Mrs., Gurley was across the street at a neighbors, und on returming the sight of the blood, together with the terror of the affair, gave a terrible fright.

Harrison will prove an Anglophobist. Now that Mlle. Marcolla Boulanger is married, people ave beginning to ask questious about her elder sister, Helene, 1 am enabled to an- sweb 4hese inquiries by the following au- thentic details gleanéd, as Mr. Micawber would say, “on the spot.” Mlle. Helene Boulanger is not so good looking as Mme. Driant. She lives Wwith her mother ona quiet street in Versailles, Mlle. Helene wanted to become a sister of charity and the general did not oppose his daughter until he became minister of war. Then he took fright and changed his views. Mlle, Helene has not became a nun after all, but she is and will try to remain & kind of spiritual old maid. She may be seen any morning praying at a side altar in the cathedral of Versailles. She belioves in her father's high destiny and likeJoan of Arc she hopes some day to give him the oriflamme when, like Napolcon, he crowns himself at Notre Dame. The young lady has had what may be called a political love story, . the hero of which is M. La Guerre, tbe barrister deputy and follower of Genéral Boulanger. He was anxious to marry her but unfortunately there is a Mme. La Guerre alive and Mile, Boulan- per, as a devout Catholic, does not believe in divorce. Prince Victor Napoleon's letter to the im- perialist committees, represented by M. Rob- ert Mitchell, shows that he is beginning to chafe in the not unpleasing exile of Brussels.

It appears, however, that Mr. W. J. “im- Barnall, a wonderously clever mathemati- cian and the organist of the East Hundred in Berkshire, England, has really hit upon some feasible scheime, which he has laid be- fore the French academy of science. His formula consists of eight figures which, in a concrete shave, forma perfect cyclometer, The discovery has taken fiftcen years hard work. What may be its practical results it is hard to say, but an_ architect tells me that if Mr. Barnall has really worked out the long-talked of quadrature, he has discovered another philosopher’s stone and left hopes that perpetual motion may follow, Dr. Albert Robin has made an elaborate report to the Academy of Sciences in refer- ence to the French mineral water, Vichy. One hundred other Fronch spas are passed in review. Dr. Robin’s conclusious are that France is endowed minerally with as good and varied springs as Germany, but the in- spectors are not thorough enough and fail to malke the public acquainted with the medical qualities of the waters. The academy has recommended the government to sce that Dr. Robin's suggestions be carried out, thus making French watering places more attract- ive to sick people and tourists, The trousseau of Miss Huston, the only child of Mr. and Mrs, H.

A Circus FEmploye Meets With a Frightful Accident. Bripgeronr, Conn., Nov. 10.—Yesterday George Alton, an employe of the “Greatest Show,” met with a severe accident at the inclosure of the wihter quarters. The wild animals are now being transferrea from the traveling cages into temporary dens, while the former are undergong annual repairs. A large cage wagon contaming hyenas was backed up near the menagerie building and the front wheels were cramped under, caus- ing the heavy wagon to be easily thrown out of balance. During the noon hour, while most all of the employes were away, George Alton began fooling with the hyenas. The savage beasts suddenly made a rush towards him, which overturned the cage, pinning Alton to the ground underneath. William Newman, the kecper of the ele- phants, heard the peculiar tones of laughing the hyenas utter when attacking prey, and rushed out to find Alton under the cage and the hyenas savagely laughing, biting and tearing his clothes. Newman, unable 1 ex- tract Alton, hurried the elephants, Gypsy and Juno, out of the pen, ordering them to lift the cage, which they did with their trunks. Alton was fearfilly cut about the scalp, and was taken to the Bridgeport hos. pital, where it was found that his skull was cracked. wide the _——— Gladstone Hooted and Hissed.
