Wilmington, Del., Aug. 31. Twenty
men were brought here yesterday from

are all from Philadelphia and New York,
and were arrested under orders issued by
the treasury department. J
It has been suspected for several months
that a Cuban filibustering party was at
work in this city, and it has just been
learned that they have headquarters at
717 Market street here, and that at least
one, if not more, expeditions to Cuba have
been dispatched from this city. On Most- '
day the United States authorities here
were notified by Detective Gaylord, of the
Pinkerton agency in Philadelphia, that
another expedition was about to take it3
departure. Detective Gay lord and several ,
of his associates came the next day.

lEVlTOU MATTHEW STANLEY QUAY,
try. He had his political enemies com
pletely at his merer, but refrained from
pushing his advantage at this time, al
though one of the senator's lieutenants
remarked, after the convention, that "he
has a lot of people to punish who will oc
cupy his attention the next two years."
fa tto opinion of politicians Senator
Quay's gPMr o Pwaaaylranla politioa is
now atioag than It ever was before and
too toTsa kJU opponents continue the
war they have waged against him, it will
require years to get their organisation in
Hoh shape as to accomplish his political
downfall.
The convention, which started out with
ts7 promise of being one of the most
exeitonjr ever known in the state, de
veloped Into a 'love feast' and wound
up skbout as tamely a3 any ever seen here,
lite confining, for purposes of safety, of
the spectator tickets to 100 for each fac
tion, while a nrudent move, robbed the
proceedings of muoh of the usual accom
paniment of noise.
The first battle between the Tactions
came on the eiection of a temporary chair
man. The Quay candidate won by a ma
jority of thirty, Congressman "Jack"
Robinson bc'ng chosen. Senator Quay
himself named Governor Hastings for
permanent chairman, and the governor
was unanimously elected.
An incident of the day was the offering
bv Senator Ouav of a resolution calling
for the purification of politics and civil
service in all branches of the public ser
vice, which was afterwards embodied in
tho platform.
Because of the fear that the outside
rabble might break in it was deemed un
wise to open the doors of the hall after all
entitled to admission were inside, and it
was necessar" for the fifty platform mak
ers to get in one corner and discuss their
business. The anti- Quay minority, led by
Congressman Dalzell, fought for a more
definite expression in favor of sound
money, and,being outvoted in committee,
brought their fight to the conventipn floor
and here carried their point without much
opposition, Senator Quay accepting their
plank as an addition to the one in his
own platform. The resolutions were pre
pared by men opposed to Governor Hast
ings, and the matter of indorsing his ad
ministration was very nearly overlooked,
a thoughtful delegate offering the neces
sary plank a few minutes before final ad
journment. The day was the hottest of the season,
and for more than four hours the dele
gates, newspapermen and spectators were
imprisoned in a sweltering atmosphere
without food or drink. With a few ex
ceptions, every man sat in his shirt
sleeves, Senator Quay., being one of the
first to set the example.
The delegates who arrived early found
over 125 men in the hall, guarding the
entrances to prevent tough3 and heelers
from taking possession of the premises.
They had been there all night and showed
evidences of their long vigil as they
marched out of the hall shortly before the
hour for convening.
Although there was an outward indica
tion of harmony and forgiveness, it is
said that this extends only to Governor
Hastings and his friends. Those on the
platform observed that Senator Quay did
not look at or speak to C. L. Magee, David
Martin and . 'enator Porter, the men who
have led the fight against him, and it is
predicted tint the wounfds now tempor-
! arily healed will be reopened in a very
short while.

IN AN INSANE ASYLUM."
London's Famous "Jack, the Kipper Safe
In Con3.n metit,
New .Tore. Sept. 2. Dr. 'Forbes Wins
low, of Lou:1on, a well known specialist
on suicide and insanity, says that "Jack
the Ripper," who by his crirnss terrorjsod
London a few years ago, is incarcerated in
a county lunatic asylum in England. Dr.
Winslow says1 this fact is known to the
authorities. "but they hav&,hush?d up the
case"" " llhedoctor haRoiae to;,New York
to attend the medicc-legal congress, which
will be held Sept. 4, 5 and 6. He will be
chairman of the department of insanity '
and mental medicine, and hivs prepared a
paper on "Suicide Considered as a Mental
Epidemic." '
The story told by Dr. Winslow follows:
"Jack the Ripper" was a medical stu
dent, of good family. He was a young
man, of slight 'build,- with light hair and
blue eyes. He studied very hard, and his
mind, being naturally very weak, gave
way. ,He became a religious enthusiast,
and attended early service every morning
at St. Paul's. x-
His religious favor resulted in homicidal
mania toward the women of the street,
and impelled him to murder them. Ho
lodged with a man whom I knew, and sus
'. picion was first directed toward him by
reason of the fact that he returned to his
. lodgings at unseasonable hours, and that
s he had innumerable coats and hats stained
with blood.
I have in my possession now a pair of
Canadian moccasins stained with blood
that the "Ripper" wore while on his mur
derous expeditions. I notified the Scotland
Yard authorities, but at that time they
refused to co-operate with ' me. Subse
! quently the young man was placed in con
I finement and removed to a lunatic asylum,
: where he is today. Since his incarceration
. there has been no reptition of the horrible
murders that he perpetrated.
These facts are all known to the English
authorities, and it is conceded that the
mau now in the asylum is "Jack the Rip
per." It was dedmed desirable, however,
to hush the matter up. The details were
too horrible to be made the subject of a
public trial, and there was no doubt of the
; man's hopeless insanity.
Thirteen Miners Drowned.
CENTRAL CITY, Colo,, Aug. 30. The ac
cidental flooding of the American and
Sleepy Hollow mines yesterday afternoon
caused the death of thirteen miners. A lit
tle after 3 o'clock the water i n the lower
workings of Fisk mine, east of the main
shaft, broke through the old workings of
the vein, that has hot been worked for a
number of years. Coursing eastward, it
struck the Arnericus, where two Italian
miners were at work. They were both
drowned. In jts course the water diverted
the Sleepy Hollow mine, the easterly'por
tlon of the Fisk mine. Fifteen men were
working in the Sfeepy Hollow, four of
whom escaped. The others were drowned.
Boat Capsized and Four Drowned.
Port Huon, Mich., Aug. 29. An ac
cident occurred on the 6t. Clair river,
near Marysville, during a; squall and rain
storm, in which four persons lost their
lives. A picnic was being held at Stag1
Island, opposite Marysville, and Mrs.;
Michael Derufg, Frank Derufg, her
brother in law, and three young ladies
Miss Celia Choniski, Minnie Schvenhart
and Edith Commeier rowed over early in
the day. On the return their boat cap
sized, and all were drowned except Miss
Schvenhart, aged 15.
Fiendish Attempt to Wreck a Train.
PiTTSTON, Pa., Sept. 2. Shortly after
midnight Saturday night an attempt was.
made to wreck Lehigh "Valley passenger
train No. 2, bound west. The attempt was
made at Tomkin's Switch, where the line
skirts the banks of the Susquehanna river,
and had it succeeded the train, consisting
of five well filled sleepers, three day coaches
and two baggage cars, would have plunged
down a twenty feet embankment into the
river. The train was fortunately a half
hour behind timo, when a track walker
discovered a heap of timbers, ties and
boulders on the track, and flagged the
train, which was approaching at high
spedd. .
Publicly Whipped on the Street.
Mech ANICSB uRG,Pa. , Sept. 2. Houghes
town, this county, had a sensation, caused
by the severe castigation with a cowhide
whip administered to Dr. J. R. Rodgersby
Samuel Lindsay, a tenant on the McCor

flecting on Mr. Lindsay's daughter. The

shrieks of the doctor brought out tho en
tire populace.

November, but he did not become seriously
ill until about two weeks ago. The de
ceased was 58 years of age, and was a na
