On motion adjourned. Jink I lie Hipper A(tnii>. LONDON, Aug. 7. —Much excitc mt nt was occasioned in the White Chapel district this morning when n rumor was rapidly passed from mouth to mouth that the dreaded Jack the Ripper had again appear ed and committed one of the butch eries tiiat has made his name a house hold word in the most ill favored portion of London. That there was reason for tho excitement there can be no denial. At anearlj hour this morning as one of the denizens of White Chapel, an old woman named Woolfe, was passing through one of the numerous dark alleys with which the region abounds she was set upon by an unknown man armed with a sharp knife. The place where the assault was made was a dark and dismal one, and as the hour was early the usual prow lers had sought refuge in the door way s or under arches, where they lay in drunken slumbers. As rows are of nightly, almost hourly, occurrence in White Chapel, no attention was paid, if, indeed, any noise was heard, to what was tuken for one of the usual drunken scuffles, liut for the old woman it was a souffle for life. From what can be learned of the circumstances surrounding the attack, it appears that the man, whom the people of White Chapel are formally con vinced was the famous ripper, useel his knite with fiendish ferocity. He grasped the womau by the head, and drawing her backward, he, with one hand across her mouth silenced the cries she would naturally have tried to make, while with the other hand he drew the keen bladed knile across her lightly drawn throat, inflicting u terrii le wound. Then, using the knife as a dagger, he plunged it in to her body again and again. There is a deep wound on the woman's arm, which, it is believed, was received while she was trj ing to ward oil' tho ferocious blowt Iri ued at her body. When released fi'i'Di the grasp oi' her assailant the woman dropped to the ground with the blood pouring from her wounds, and when, shortly afterward, Khe was found by a passing policeman, she was unconscious aud in a dying condition. She is seventy years old. The police, are, as usual, hunting for a clue that will lead to thcidenti licalion of the murderer, but as in all of ibe other White Cbapel crimes, the assassin has disappeared, leav ing no trace save his mutilated victim. The woman was taken to a hospital and after a time she re covered enough to tell of the attack mudc upon her. She is a German and unlike the other women murder ed and mutilated in White Chapel, she was not in the company of the man who attacked her, but was pass ing along the street, when, without warning, the assassin sprang upon her. She saw the glitter of the up raised steel blade, but was unable to escape from the grasp of her assail ant. She raised iier arm to defend her throat from the biow aimed at it, and it was through this movement that the wound in her arm was re ceived. When her assailant releas ed her from his grasp she fell upon a doorstep. Despite her tcrriule injuries she still retained possession of her senses, and though the wound in her throat was bleeding profusely she was able to articulate, the weap on not having reached ibe wind pipe. Several persons passed while she was lying on the doorstep, and though they endeavored to ascertain what was the trouble, sbe could not speak English sufficiently well to make them understand that an at tempt bail hem made to murder her. it is understood that the police lound a razor covered with blood near the scene of the crime. The wound in the woman's throat could have beet caused by a razor, as could also the deep cut in the arm, but from the nature of ibe other wounds it is believed they were caused by either a knile or a dagger, us they appear to be slab wounds and not such as would be made with a razor. One man was taken into custody on suspicion. An Ecuior Heard From. A legend says that an editor died and slowly wended his way along the path to where he supposed a warm reception awaited him. Satan met him and said : "For many years thou bant borne the blame for many ei rors the printers have made in the paper. The paper has gone, alas, for SI.OO, and the §,'.00 often laded to come in. The printers have deviled thee Saturday nights for wages when thou hadst not even one cent to thy name. Men have taken the paper without paying for it aud cursed, thee for not getting out a better paper. Thou hast been called dead beat by the passenger conductors when thou hast shown thy annual pass to their envious gaze. All thou hast borne in silence. Thou j Ci-nst not come in here." And he; tired him away. ''Heaven is thy I home, and besides if we let him come in here lie would be continually dun ning his delinquent subscribers, for hell is lull of them, and thus cause disorder in my kingdom." Excused from Drawing a Jury, Sheriff Robinson presented a peculiar petition to the Luzerne j County Court last Saturdaj'. Ellis j Young will be tried at the next term of court charged with the raur-' der of the sheriffs brother, Elias j Robinson. The sheriff, in his peti tion, says he is an interested party, and that it would not be right for liiin to draw the jury that will try the prisoner. He, therefore, asks the court to appoint some one to do it. The court appointed Coroner Pier to draw the jury. Guess Streby was about right in his remarks concerning the Jievicw; judging from the answer of X jweli in his last issue. He certainlj took it to heart, and surely no person would give so much attention to a falsehood. This is the general opinion over here, and that settles it. Newell you are convicted of a decline of business. The penalty is not great, howeverl Normal Institute. The annual session of the Sullivan Count} - Teachers' Normal Inslitute will commence at Forksville, Mon day August 17, 18fll, at 1:30 p. in. and continue for five weeks. Teach ers' who expect to be applicants for provisional certificates at the fall examinations are expected to attend the full term of the institute. M. R. BLACK, Co. Supt. cf Schools.

Ice ercaia lemonade and other refreshment j will be served. The band is ex pected to furnish music for the oc casion. There was quite a wreck on the B. & S. R. IJ. just below Laubochs Monday. The cause was by leaving an empty car on the main track to be loaded with lumber, and when the passenger came in the p. M.it ran into it breaking the engine so badly that it was impossible for> them to move the train. The pas-] sengers were not hurt, fortunately. ! The hand car conveyed the pas ! sengers to their destination. The J fault is lelt to the general manager for not notifying the engineer of | what was ahead. Our con table, Jerry Yansickle j accompanied by a police of Danville, arrested M. B. McHenry at his ; home 111 (green Creek, C< . :.i ia ,county, Pa., on Thursday a.' l Gill, lie being tho vict i •. •) 'killed one of the patients ;n :,;e ; Danville asylum on Saturday August 1 1st. Mc Henry is a young man about .'3 yedrs of age. The patient whose name we have not learned, i was a large man and a very hard one to handle, and the orders were— jno one nurse mu-t attempt to enter his room, but Mcllenry being a ; powerful young fellow thought lie ; could handle him all right, so when jhe went into wait on liiiu the patient jumped on him very roughly. Mcllenry seeing he could not master liini cried for help. There was two nurses on the second tloor who heard the cry and came quickly to assist him. After they got them parted Mcllenry swore he would kill him, kicking him 011 both sides ol the face breaking each jaw, then kicking him 011 each side of Ins ribs, then he jumped on linn crush ing him to death. The man only living a short time, and McHenry lied. He is now lodged in Blooms burg jail lor safe keeping. POLITE. JULLSGJIO J '/•; ITEMS.

Hotiman must have met a friend in town, or else he would come home in the course ot a week or 10 days. i Potatoes arc a great crop at this place this year. Nearly eveiy family will have sufficient for their own use. The dance for tho benefit of the band 011 Saturday evening was a grand success. Shorty Russels way of dancing may be all right in Willianisport, but it takes too much room up here. C. R. Sadler has in his possesion a a Suilivan county paper published by M.
