INER. THE DAILY EXAM Business by Rail. Txose who opposed the construction of the Prince Edward Island railway on the} ground that it would “‘‘never get enough to do to pay for the grease on the wheels,” must be lost in wonder and amazement now when they see long trains of sixteen | and twenty cars, filled with oats, potatoes, cattle, sheep, lumber and merchandize of begun and business is regarded as quiet, the railway cannot even now supply cars enough to meet the demand of merchants and traders Complaint is rife among business men whose freight is delayed along the line. It is stated that the rail way Officials furnish cars for the transport of produce to the Boston steamers at rates more favorable than can be obtained by merchants who are sending freight via the Intercolonial ; that the cars so furnished the are held to wait the arrival of steam- ers ; and that they are consequently not for in forwarding goods to outports for transhipment to the neighbor- available use ing Provinces. It is quite possible that some persons| complain without suflicient cause. Of this, only, we are sure: (1) Discontent exists ; | (2) the railway officials will exert them- selves to the utmost to satisfy all reason- able demands. lf i charged operate in favor of > t be true that the rates at present the B ston steamers to the prejudice of our own line | of steamers and the [utercolonial railway, ed provincial trade should rather be favored they should certainly be revi inter- than checked.

Recent advices from Ottawa state that! the Dominion Government has decided to invite the Governments of Australia and New Zealand to send delegates to Canada at an early date, to consider the question of improved trade relations between the Australian colonies and the Dominion, with especial reference to direct communication, | via the Pacific. Another question that will, in all proba- | bility, be taken up and thoroughly dis-' cussed at theconference, wili be the matter of direct steam communication between Van" couver, Auckland andSydney. Should the Canadian Pacific Railway authorities, or any | other persons, decide to inaugurate direct | service to and from British Columbia, and | thus secure the substantial subsidy given | the point will have been scored in favor of the by Australian Government, a great Canadian trans-continental route. The matter of direct cable communica- tion from Victoria to Auckland, and Sydney via the Hawaiian, Fanaing and Christmas Islands, is deeply involved in the subject of Canada Australasia. authorities relations between and The have also made the discovery that Great trade Imperial Britain is as interested in the direct cable acheme as the colonies, and have had the route surveyed. This being the case, the perfection,of the scheme may be looked upon as but « question of time—a very short time. The valuable results that are likely to ollow the proposed conference are so ap- arent that they need not be enumerated ere. —_—-—-—.- © ~m om = The Slave Trade. — i For upwards of half a ceutury, England has, through her warships, being doing her best to abolish the slave trade on the Afri- can coast.

The change in the attitude of the other powers toward the trade, and their joining with England to crush it out, is the subject of much comment in the foreign press.

HIS NINE VICTIMS AND WHEN THEY WERE MURDERED. ee | An important fact has been pointed out i which sturts a newand quite probable theory jas tothe murders. It appears that the 'eattle boats bringing live freight to London ‘usually come into the Thames on Thursday and Friday and leave again for the Con- itinent on Sundays and Mondays. It has ‘already been a matter of comment that the frevolting crimes have all been committed at the end of the week, and an opinion has i been formed by some detectives that the | murderer is a droveror butcher employe, one of these boats, of which there are many, and that he periodically appears and disappears with one of the steamers. This ltheory is held to be of much importance by those engaged in the investigation, who believe that the murderer does not reside either in Whitechapel or even in England at all. It is thought that he may be either )& person employed upon one of these boats, travel by them, and inquiries have since some time been directed towards the following up of this theory At the inquest of the previous victims the coroner expressed the opinion that the knowledge of anatomy possessed by « butcher would have been sutlicient to en able him tu find out the partsuf the body | which in all cases have been abstracted. \ similar theory is that the man is a Malay cook on one of the steamers running to the Mediterrenean ports, but so far it is all theory. There are no facts except that the woman has been murdered and that the murderer A man’s pilot-coat has been found in the murdered woman's room, but whether it belonged to one of her pare to the murderer has not been By some, however, it is look- of is still free. mours or ascertained. ed upon as being a strong corroboration the sailor theory. NO PARY OF THE BODY MISSING, The doctors who made the post-mortem examination authorise the statement that this time no portion of body had been taken away by the murderer In less than two hours the ductors had the bodv in the morgue, and were eXamin- ing it precisely as theydid the Mitre Square victim. ‘They refused to give any details concerning the examination, but one of the physicians present admitted that he had passed much of his life in the dissecting rooms, but had never seen such a horrible spectacle as the murdered woman. The matrix was missing. There seemed to be at least 40 cuts on the body, and big pieces flesh were literally stripped off and strewn on the floor. There were nv indica- tions in this case of a hand skilled in the use of the knife. The body was literally hacked to pieces. There were no appear- ance of any struggle. But there is nv doubt at all that it is the work of the per- son who has been known throughout the world as the ‘* Whitechapel murderer.” The mystery in this case is as deep as that of the preceding crimes. The fiend got away without leaving the slightest clue. the HE CHOSE HIS TIME WELL. At the moment when Bowyer discovered the murdered body, that gorgeous annual nuisance which goes by the name of the lord mayur’s show, bocking up the tratlic of the great city for hours, was being or- ganized near the Mansion House, scarcely a mile away. Nearly 3,000,000 pcople were packed in the streets between the Mansion House and Trafalgar Square, with nearly every policeman in the city posted along the curb to keep them in order. The rigid police patrol maintained in White- chapel since the last double murder in Oetuber, was relaxed for one day, aad on that day the assassin struck down another victim. It is scarcely necessary to say much about Mrs. Keily, beyond the description already published. She had a boy 11 years old, who was begging in the streets while his mother was murdered. The woman has lately been living with a man who sells oranges in the streets, and on whom, as he could not be found, suspicion at once reverted. But he turned up all right and fainted when he was shown the murdered woman’s body. Like the sands that slowly filter through an hour glass when reversed, the great throng in the streets which had been cheer- ing the new lord mayor, found their way into Whitechapel. When the news of the murder spread about every heart was filled with horror. ‘* WHEN IS THIS GOING TO END 2” ‘** How long is this fiend in human form to carve people to pieces under the noses of the police and mock at their feeble efforts to catch him?” was the general cry on all sides. The London police are not allowed to club a crowd into submission as New York pulice are permitted to do, except in the case of an absolute riot. But the in- dignation and excitement was so great in Whitechapel that day that it became neces- sary for them to use harsh measures. Profiting by their previous blunders, the police called a photographer to take a pic- ture of the room before the body was re- moved. This gives rise toa report that there was more handwriting on the wall, though three orfour people who were allowed toenter the room say they did not observe.it. But possibly they were too excited to note such details. Another curious circumstance is worth mentioning, the murder wasZnot made public until 12 o'clock. Mrs. Paumnier, who seems to be a reliable*person and sells walnuts in Sandy’s Row, near the scene of the murder, states that at 11 o’clock that day arespectably dressed man, carrying a black bag, came up to her and began talking about the murder. He appeared to know everything about it, did not buy walnuts, and after standing a few minutes went away. Mrs. Paumier describes him asaman about 30 years old, five feet six inches in height. He wore speckled trousers and a black coat. Several girls in the neighborhood say that the same man accosted them and they -chaffed him. When asked what he had in his black bag he said, ee ** SOMETHING THAT WOMEN DON’T LIKE.” That is al] that is known, fully conceal it. But there is to believe that they have. ’ ‘The excitement and fear of the White- chapel people since the two last murders I will not attempt to describe.

Which of them will it be? Until the bodies were identified the city mortuary was surrounded all day by people attracted there by some horrible fascina- tion, hoping to get a look at the mutilated bodies within. It was wise of the police to make this number as small as possible. No one who saw these victims will ever forget them. A LIST OF THE HORRORS ATTRIBUTED TO THE WHITECHAPEL FIEND. The following is a complete list of the nine victims who have already fallen a prey to the murderer, popularly knowl 48 the ‘* Whitechapel monster: No. 1,—On April 3, 1888, Emma Eliza- beth Smith, a woman of the town, was murdered at Whitechapel. No. 2. —Aug. 7, 1888, the body of Martha was found on the first floor landing of the George Yard buildings, Commercial Street, Spitalfields. The head was nearly severed from the body and there were 32 stab wounds besides the usual muti- lution. The murder was fcommittea be- tween midnight and dawn. No. 3.— Mary Ann Nichols, aged 42, a woman of the lowest class, was killed and mutilated like the rest. Her body was found in the street in Buck’s Row, White- chapel, in the early morning of Friday, Aug. 31. She had evidently been killed somewhere else and her body carried where it was found, for little blood was discover- ed where the body lay. No. 4—Just a week after the killing of the Nichols woman, Annie Chapman, aged 45, another fallen woman, was similarly murdered and mutilated. Her body was discovered in the back yard of 29 Hanbury Street, 100 yards from the place where the Nichols woman’s remains were found, She must have been butchered after 5a. m., for she was drinking with a man, probably at that hour in a public house near by. On the wall near the body was written in chalk: ‘* Five,; fifteen more, then I give myself up.” No. On Sunday, Sept. 23, a young her murderer, a] woman was murdered at Gateshead, near Neweastle-on-Tyne, in the north of Eng land. Alithe circumstances, even to the peculiar mutilation of the body, point to the Whitechapel tiend as the murderer. No. 6—Another Whitechapel woman. Elizabeth Stride, nitknamed ‘* Hippy Lip Annie,” 40 years old, was murdered in serners Street, on Sunday, Sept, at about 1 a. m. Her throat was cut, but there was no slashing of the remains. The body was warm when found and the mur- derer had been apparently frightened away. No. 7.--Fifteen minutes after the dis- covery of the butchery of ** Hippy Lip Annie,” the mutilated body of another vic- tim, a degraded woman of the Whitechapel district, named Catherine Eddows, was found in the southern corner of Mitre Squ ire. No. 8.—On Oct. 2 the highly decomposed remains of a woman, shockingly mutilated and giving evidence of having been killed by the Whitechapel murderer, was found on the site of the projected MetropSlitan opera house on the Thames embankment. This was evidently one of the “ five” to which the fiend referred when he chalked the legend over the body of Annie Chap- man in Hanbury street Sept. 8. [This place is near Charing Cross, three miles west of the Whitechapel district. ] No. 9.—The last murder, on Nov. 9, took place in a house in a little lane called Dorset street, near Commercial street, Spitalfields. The name of the shockingly mutilated victim was Mary Kelly. She was a native of Limerick. 0, Steamers Movements. Tue M. A.
