as one of the inhabitants of Whitechapel,
an old woman named Wolfe, ' was passing
through • one of the numerous dark alleys
with one hand across .her mouth, silenced
the cries she would naturally have tried to
snake, while with the other -hand he drew
the keen -bladed knife across her tightly
drawn throat, inflicting a terrible wound.
Then raising the knife as a dagger he
plunged it into her body again and again.
There is a deep wound on the woman's arm,
which, it is believed, was received while she
was attempting to wardoffthe ferocious blows
aimed at her body. 'When released from the
grasp of her assailant the woman dropped
to the ground with the blood pouring from
her wounds, and when, shortly afterwards,
she was discovered by a passing policeman
She was' unconscious and in a dying condi-
tion. She -is 70 years old. The police are
hunting for the assassin. He has disap-

THE WOMAN'S STORY.
A• later cablesays
: The .woman was
,. ..taken to an hospital, and after a time --she
recovered sufficiently to tell of the attack
made upon her. She is a German, and un-
like the other women murdered and muti-
lated in Whitechapel, she was not in
the company of the'man who attacked her,
but was passing along the street when,
without warning, the assassin sprang upon
She saw_the .gli.ttear_d_.the upraised
Steel blade, but was unable to escape from
.the grasp of her assailant. She raised her
arm to defend her throat from the blow
aimed at it, and it was through . this
movement that the wound in her arm was
received. When her assailant released her
from his grasp she fell upon -a door -step.
Despite her terrible injuries she still retained
possession of her t senses, and—the ugh- the
wound in her throat was bleeding so furi-
ously she wtis-able-to-articulate, the -weapon -
not having reached the 'windpipe. Sev-
eral persons passed while . she was
lying on the door step, and though
they endeavored to ascertain what the
'trouble was, she could not speak English
'sufficiently well to make them understand
that an' attempt had been , made to murder
her. It is understood that the police found
4 razor covered with blood near the scene of
the crime. The wound in the woman's
throat could have been caused by a razor, as
could also ilia deep cut in her arm; -but from.
the nature of the other wounds it
is -believed they were caused .by
either a knife or a dagger, as they
appear to be stab wounds, and such as
would not be made with a razor. One man
has been taken into custody on suspicion.
EXCURSION TRAIN WRECKED.
Two Killed Outright and. Many Seriously
Injured.
AChamplain, N. Y., 'despatch says: A•
train conveying a Sunday school excursion
from Ellenburg and Rouse's Point and
intervening stations on the Central Vermont
Railway ran into a mail train which had the
right of way just east of this station at, 6.40
last night. The excursion train had 675
passengers on board. Wm. Angell, aged
about 17, sort of a merchant of this place,
and Sim Venetta, a laborer of Chateauguay
Lake, were killed outright and some twenty
people more or less injured. Henry La
Mountain, of Champlain, •had both legs cut
off below the knees ; Wm. Moore, both
legs broken ; H. Swett, of Ellenburg Cen-
tre, an arm fractured and badly bruised •;
John Patterson, of Perry's Mills, leg
broken ; Mrs. Lewis, of Moira,' head and
limbs bruised ; Miss Bateman, -of Perry's,
Mills, hip dislocated ; S. Levy, of Albany-,
wrist broken and seriously bruised. The
excursion train had orders to meet the
mail here, and should have gone on the.
siding.

THE WEST SHORE WREOL
Dreadful Fate of the Doomed Italians in the

A SICKENING STORY BY A PORTER.
A Buffalo despatch says : A reporter suc-
ceeded in finding a train man this afternoon
that probably knows as much about the
accident on the West Shore road yesterday,
when so many Italians were killed, as any-
body. He is Robert Jackson, the colored

which threw us out 'of our seats. We_rart..

saw a frightful scene.
" Two ears were on fire and burning up
rapidly. The bodies of a dozen dead

THE WORK OF A MONSTER GUN.
-A -Shell Sent Forty Feet Into -Steel,, Iron,.
Oak, Granite, Concrete and Brick.
Some idea of the power of the heaviest
modern ordnance may be gathered from the
following facts. aihnnt the English 110 -ton
gun : It weighs 110 tons, is 43 feet 9 inches
long, and has a diameter at the breech of
5 feet 6 inches and a calibre of 16l inches.
It is made at the Artnstreng works, at New-
castle, England, and the shortest time in
which it can be built is fifteen months, Its
charge is 960 pounds of best prismatic gun-
powder, al.d the cylindrical steel shot
weighs 1,800 pounds. The esppeniae of firing
a single shirt is £177 (about $S60), and as the
gun *ill not bear firing more than seventy
or eighty times its deterioration mast fur-
ther be reckoned as expense.
A battering shot from this gun penetrated
entirely through compressed armor (steel
faced iron) twenty inches thick ; then through
iron backing five inches, thick ; then it
pierced wholly through twenty feet of solid
oak, five feet of granite and eleven feet of
hard concrete, and went three feet into a
It is very apparent that the projectiles
from this gun would penetrate any fort now
existing, and would go very, nearly clean
through any man -of -tear afloat, no matter
where it hit her.
There are several serious drawbacks to
this, gun, however. The chief one is that
it is not strong enough to sustain its own

SHE SHOT TWICE.
A Wife's Effectiveterference to Save Her
Crippled Husband.
A Toronto report says : A serious shoot-
ing affray happened last night about 9

got a 22 -calibre revolver, which, it is said, she
levelled at her husband's assailant and shot
him, -first --in--the---thigh,.•-and.-a---.second_

called in to attend the wounded man.

A Washington despatch says : An inter-
esting. case was brought to the attention of
the Secretary of the Treasury to -day, and
was referred by, him to the .Attorney—
Gen-eral for an opinion. It appears • that the
customs officers at Port Huron, Mich., ap-
prehended a Chinaman who had crossed
over from Sarnia to the United States.
Upon reference to the law in regard to im-
portation of Chinese, it was determined that
the new arrival was amenable to the clause
providing for his deportation to China, aild
preparations were made to return him to the
Flowery Kingdom via San Francisco. At
this juncture, however, the BritishAmbassa-
dor at Washington interfered, claiming that
the Chinaman in disputewas a bona fide
resident of Canada, and could not be treated
as a new immigrant from China. •" This is
-the first time to my knowledge," remarked
Acting -Secretary Nettleton, " That such a
point has been raised, and it has been
deemed best to refer the question to Attor-
ney -General Miller for his decision. Mean-
while the Chinaman will remain in custody
at Port Huron pending a settlement of his
case.

POISON IN THE MILK.
Suspicions of Child -Poisoning to Obtain
Insurance Moneys.
A Chester, Pa., despatch ,says : It has
been ascertained that little George Lewis,
who died suddenly last week, was poisoned.
Just who the guilty person is that admin-
iatered. the .poison, . or _the., motive, for the
crime, has not been discovered. The body
of Mary E. Morgan, the, adopted daughter'
of Mr. Lewis, who died on July 10, will be
disinterred, and an examination made to
learn if she has been poisoned also. Mr.
Lewis testified at the coroner's inquest last
night that his son George was first taken
sick at supper on . Tuesday evening, after
drinking a glass of milk. The dose was just
sufficient to cause nausea, and the following'
morning he was apparently as well as 'ever,
excepting that his appetite was gone. At
dinner lie had a, glass of milk, and immedi-
ately became .violently ill. Doctors were
summoned, but the child soon died in ter-
rible agony. Mrs. Lewis, who is engaged
through the day, and who did not know of
her son's illness until she reached home at
supper time, is not implicated in any plot
to take the life of her child. Mr. Lewis
declared that George . was in his company
the greater part of the time and no one else
was in the house but his 15 -year-old daugh-
ter. The autopsy of George revealed arsenic
in. sufficient quantity to' produce death. Au
autopsy .on Mary's body will be made. The
lives of both .Mary Morgan and George were
insured. The Lewis family are very poor,
acid the father has been out of work for
some time..

Horrible .Crnclty of a Step -Mother to a
Yonnk Girl.
A Shamokin, Pa., despatch says : A young
woman named Rose Sheshinslai was foltnd in
a cellar yesterday in a half insane condition.
She was abate to tell the story of the shocking
cruelty to which she had been subjected by
het brother and step -mother. She said they
wanted her out of the way that they might
get slime property that she owned. Some
months ago they attempted to poison ,her,
and she told a doctor and an investigation
was to have been held ; but one night her
step -mother and brother dragged her clown
into the cellar and. padlocked a chain round
her waist, the other end of which was fasten-
ed in the wall. Here she had . been kept
ever since. She was given very little food,
and was frequently beaten by her step -mother.
The step -mother admits having chained the
girl in the cellar, but says it was on account
of her •iiisanity, and that she was sometimes^
so violent that if she had not been fastened
up she would have done herself or some one
else an injury. An investigation will bo
