JACK TBI 8LASHIB.
A Mysterious
Auauln
i V'orkJ
Caught la New
New York, Jan. 18. "Jack,, the
Slasher,'' that mysterious individual,
who since December 39, last, has amused
himself, by cutting the throats"' of
drunken men with a razor, and has been
he error of night travelers in the Fourth
ward, was captured at an early hour
this morning red-handed. He inveigled
his victim, a drunken man, to an un
frequented street and then catching the
man around the neck with one hand,
with the other he drew a keen razor
across his throat. He then slunk away,
but an officer, who had been watching
him for some time and who had been
unable to come up in time to save the
drunken man from injury, gave pursuit,
and with the aid of other officers soon
captured "the slasher." Inspector
Byrnes has no doubt that he has the
right man, at whose door also is laid the
death of John Carson, the Baltimore ex
lawyer, and the dangerous wounding of
five other men. The prisoner's name is
Henry G. Dowd. He is well connected,
so far as his family is concerned, but his
habits have long made him a social out-
- cast, and for two years at least, he has
had no other home than the cheap lodging-houses
on the Bowery. He is about
43 years old, and is believed to be insane.
Dowd's seventh victim is a man named
William Miller, 45 years old, of 328 West
Third street, who was walking along
James street in a drunken condition.
His throat was badly cut, and he was
taken to the hospital. Dowd was ar
raigned this morning in a police court,
and was from there remanded to the
care of Inspector Byrnes.
The following is a list oi the victims
of the man who has been dubbed by the
police as "Jack the Slasher" :
John Hefin, of No. 148 East Eighteenth
street, cut by some person unknown, the
night of December 29th last (this was
the first case) ; Louis Lawson, of No. 5
Albany street, throat cut January 8;
John Clark, of Elizabeth, X. J., throat
cut January 9; George Williams, of
Brooklyn, throat cut and slashed Janu
ary 11; Edward Christianson, a Swede,
throat slashed January 12; John Carson,
throat cut from ear to ear, found dead
January 15.
After the preliminary examination of
the prisoner he was taken to the Bellvue
hospital where Clark, the man who was
cut January 9 was being treated for the
injury inflicted by the slasher. Clark
positively identified Dowd as the man
who assaulted him. When Dowd was
taken back to police headquarters he
made a confession of bis crimes, or some
of them. He said the impulse to kill
was incontrolable. He said he wanted
r to kill all the Dutchmen because a Ger
man had once ravished his mother at
her home inJBrooklyn. "Why did you
kill Carson,' he wasn't a German?" the
inspector asked. "I could not help it,"
was the reply. Then seeing his error,
he quickly corrected himself saying he
did not kill Carson. Dowd's room was
searched and blood-stained clothing
found. His shirt sleeves were also full
of blood stains.
Henry G. Dowd, "the slasher," is an
Englishman by birth, and is one of the
children of Patrick M. Dowd, the civil
engineer, who was engaged in laying out
Central Park. He is well connected on
his mother's side, his mother's sister
having married Samuel X. Hoyt, a son
of the late Jesse Hoyt, the famous mil
lionaire, whose will was vigorously con
tested by his daughter, Mary Irene
Hoyt. All who know the prisoner say
they have always considered him insane,
and it is said that Dowd was once con
fined in an asylum, from which he es
caped. THE RVI.ES of congress.
Those to
be Adopted Will
Prevent
Filibustering.
Washington, Jan. 19. It is known
there will be only a few changes in the
rules of the fiftieth congress. The mod
ified Holman rules of the forty-eighth
congress will be re-adopted, a rule will
.. also be added, limiting to one hour the
call of the states on Mondays for the in
troduction of bills, the object being to
prevent filibustering on suspension days,
by wasting time in the introduction and
reading of long bills. It is also likely
that, although this is not yet absolutely
decided. upon, that a rule will be framed
to prevent prolonged filibustering by
enabling the house to vote any measures
it desires to close a debate. This rule
will probably give the rules committee
authority to bring in a special order fix
ing the time at which a debate on any
specific measure shall cease, the ap-
proval of the order by the house, of
' course, being necessary.
Democratic Determination.
There is a determination on the part
;Mf the democrats of the house to fix the
' rules so that riders will be allowed on
appropriation bills. This is done for
the purpose 'of securing the repeal of
some of the legislation enacted by the
last congress. Of course any such at
tempt to legislate in the appropriation
. bill will be met in the senate with a
negative. There may then be a dead
lock, but it is believed that the republi
" cans in the senate will prolong the ses
sion of congress indefinitely before they
.. will allow any such appropriation bills
to become laws. Of course it is known
that if the appropriations for the various
s departments of the government are not
passed until after the last of June, that

tempted - before, and generally-ended
disastrously to tne party -wnicu inusui
upon legislating on general matters in
appropriation bills. The items intended
to be attacked are the subsidy and
suear bountv acts passed by the last
congress.
THE MBXICAX BORDER.
Government Troops Preparing; to Ann!
hilate Ona.
. Montebky, Mexico, Jan. 15. Gen
eral Reyes' latest advices from Mier are
that everything on the frontier is quiet.
Nothing would better please the Mexi
can government than for, the United
States authorities to allow the insurgents
to cross over to this side, so that they
could be annihilated. In the meantime
the authorities are watching the in
terior closely and are ready to promptly
suppress any outbreak which might
occur. General Reyes contends that the
Chihuahua affair , amounts , to nothing.
It is the opinion here that Diaz is will
ing for the revolutionists to proceed, so
that he can find out exactly who is put
ting up the money and who is the real
head. The terrible poverty naturally
causes uneasiness. Starving men are
willing to fight for their bread, and un
less the wants of the people are relieved
they could easily be converted into an
army, and this is what causes anxiety.
Pinkerton men are at work ferreting out
the leaders, and a woman has been em
ployed to fascinate Garza if she can find
him.
A Short Cabinet Meeting.
Washington, Jan. 17. There seems
to be no good foundation for the war
rumors circulated last night. Yester
day's cabinet meeting, instead of being
three hours long, as one of them stated,
lasted but an hour and a quarter, and
was one of the shortest for months past.
Of course it was important, as the Chil
ian matter was under consideration, but
so far as can be learned, none of the sen
sational incidents reported occurred.
Both state and navy departments were
in receipts of communications from
Chili this morning, but theofficials state
that they contained nothing of unusual
importance. The fact that dispatches
were received, however, is satisfactory
evidence that Minister Egan has not
abandoned his post, as a telegram to the
London Times led some persons to infer.
Business at a Standstill.
Chicago, Jan. 19. Reports from many
points in Missouri, Illinois and Arkansas
state that blinding snow storms have
raged for the lest twenty-four hours, and
all busi Less is at a standstill and trains
are delayed. Dispatches from Texas
state the rain storm of Monday turned
into sleet, and the live stock are suffer
ing terribly. This is the coldest spell
Kansas City has experienced, the ther
mometer registering 25 degrees below
this morning, but later the weather
moderated. It was 26 degrees below at
Atchison, where much suffering was
caused by the cold. Last night in Min
nesota and Dakota was another cold
one, but today it is somewhat warmer.
Private advices from Cherokee nation
says the streams' and pools are frozen
over and many cattle were drowned by
going onto the ice in search of water and
breaking through. ,
A Chilian Vessel Wrecked.
London, Jan. 19. The Pacific Steam
Xavigation Company's mail 6teamer
John Elder, from Valparaiso for Liver
pool, was wrecked in the Straits of Ma
gellan. All the passengers and crew of
the steamer were saved, but the vessel
herself will be a total loss. A dispatch
to the times from Santiago de Chili says
the news of the wreck is causing much
excitement in that city, owing to the fact
that it is generally believed that it was by
this steamer that a number of refugees
who sought safety at the American lega
tion had left the counjty.' The passengers
are proceeding to Concepcion, a Chilian
port 270 miles southwest of Santiago.
The local authorities have orders to ar
rest all refugees found among the ship
wrecked people. The mails on board
the steamer were lost. .
A l.lvety Stable Keeper 'Gone.
Xew Westminster, B. C, Jan. 16. A.
E. Clarke has emigrated to Washington
state with a nice little bundle of boodle.
He was in the livery stable business
here, and did a large business, but re
cently the profits were not sufficient to
suit him. He got credit everywhere,
and when people began to dun, he
mortgaged every stick, strap, horse and
vehicle in bis possession. Then he sold
several of the mortgaged horses, next
the good will of his business for $1000,
and wound up by hitching a fine team
to a $1000 Gurney, also mortgaged, and
drove away to Whatcom, where it is
said he sold the outfit for a handsome
amount. Clarke a creditors and the
people who had mortgages on his prop
erty, are wild with despair.
Heavy Losses of Stock.
Chicago, Jan. 19. Advices froti over
the Western and Southern country tell
of cold weather such as has not been ex
perienced for some time. A New Or
leans dispatch says the ground is covered
with sleet and snow, the mercury rang
ing from eight to thirty above. Dallas,
Text8, reports the blizzard increasing in
fury. The government observer says,
the thermometer registered ten below,
and the weather is the worst ever re
corded in the history of Texas. Losses
on ranches from stock frozen to death
will reach enormous figures.

To be Made Ready for Sea. 1
. Philadelphia, Jan. 17. Orders have j
been received at the League Island navy j
yard to put in proper condition and get
ready fir fea the -monitor Montauk, j
which has been "laid ud in ordinary" in
the Delaware river front since 1883. The
Montauk was built during the civil war,
and served during the latter part of that
struggle in the naval campaign on the
Mississippi river. ' She has a single re
volving turret, in -which are 'mounted
two fifteen-inch rifled euns. which are
formidable weapons for use in coast and
harbor defense. It is understood that as
soon as the Montauk 's machinery has
been connected and made ready for
operation, similar work will be done on
the Xahant and Jason.
England Wants to Arbitrate.
Washington, Jan. 19. It was re
ported at the capitol today that the gov
ernment of Great Britain had taken
steps to bring about a more friendly
feeling between the United States and
Chill, and will intervene to effect a set
tlement of the trouble. A member of
the foreign affairs committee of the
house said this afternoon that he had
not received the information officially
but that he had no doubt of its correct
ness. It is said . Great . Britain has
offered her good offices and would endea
vor to arrange a basis on which an am
icable agreement might be reached.
In the Cabinet.
Washington, Jan. 19. The cabinet
meeting today was devoted almost en
tirely to the consideration of the Chilian
question. The proceedings were only
temporarily lnterruped by the slight ill
ness of Secretary Blaine. There is rea
son to believe the government has re
ceived dispatches through the Chilian
minister, looking to a peaceful solution
of the questions in dispute, and they
were submitted to tne cabinet todav.
This may possibly do away altogether
with tne necessity ot reiernng tne ques
tion to congress.
'Grand Army Patriots.
Xew York, Jan. 20. Mansfield post,
the largest Grand Army post in Brook
lyn, held a meeting last night and
drafted a letter to the president," which
concludes as follows :
"We respectfully and urgently request
that measures may be adopted lo make
suitable reparation for the killing of our
sailors, and redress for the insults to our
flag in the city of Valparaiso, and that
they be continued till the last dollar has
been expended, and the last volunteer
has responded."
Supreme Court Applied to.
Denver, Jan. 17. Dr. Graves, through
his attorneys, applied to the govornor
for a reprieve of sixty days, the petition
being accompanied by an affidavit deny
ing his guilt and averring it will require
at least thirty days to prepare a trans
cript of the case for appeal to the sup
reme court, repeated errors of Judge
Kieing are also charged.
Bank Officials Sentenced.
Ckeston, la., Jan. 16. Wesley Taylor
and A. E. Jackson, officers of the F6un
tainelle bank, Fountainelle, la., which
failed for $40,000 a year ago, were found
guilty for receiving deposits knowing the
bank to be insolvent, and sentenced each
to four months in jail and $500 fine.
Jackson is the son of James Jackson, a
prominent stockholder in Chicago.
Difference of Opinion.
One by one the possessions of Great
Britain in the West Indies have come
under the sway of reciprocity. Jamaica,
Trinidad, Barbadoes and Guiana have
all made reciprocity arrangements with
us, while the English merchants, man
ufacturers and newspapers are abusing
the new tariff law as savagely as possi
ble. Fairhaven Herald.
Ranchers Arrested.
Laredo, Tex., Jan. 17. The United
States commissioner has issued a num
ber of warrants for prominent ranchmen,
charging them with violating the United
States neutrality laws by furnishing the
Mexican bandity with beef and mutton.
They will be vigorously prosecuted. Ad
vices from the troops in the field contain
nothing startling new.
The Queen Will Not Attend.
London, Jan. 19. A court circular
says the queen intended to attend the
funeral of the Duke of Clarence, but has
yielded most unwillingly to entreaties
not to expose herself to the risk of tak
ing cold.

A newspaper man named Burke was
frozen to death in Chicago last Thurs

The anarchist is haunting society in
every part of the world. Full of rum,
bomb and rebellion, he is constantly
thrusting his rude entertainments upon
those great people who give and receive
luxurious banquets and state receptions.
Several of these rough but well-meaning
fellows lately tried to amuse the British
government by blowing some of its
members out of their socks, but were
preyented from carrying out the pro
gram. Tne average anarcmst is not
afraid of death. He thinks his deeds
are angelic, and the worst the law can

there is no soap and the streets are

J. C. Luckey, Indian agent at Warm
Springs is not only guardian of the In
dians property and rights, but of their
persons as well, This was quite forcibly
illustrated (upon his head) recently. A
white man an Indian were fighting at
the aeencv, when Mr. Lucky ran in to
stop the fight, and received a heavy
thwack from a stick in the hands of the
white man, knocking him down, making
a severe wound on his forehead, while
tne son of the forest escaped unscathed.
Mr. Luckey was in town Sunday and
from the way his head was bandaged
one would think he had been an active
participant in an Irish wake. He says
the government will hereafter have to
raise his wages if he is to be used as a
target for clubs aimed at Indians' heads.

The John Day Sentinel, haying pro

offers to answer any question that may
be sent to it. Among the first already
sent in s the following: "What ia
the origin of the expression 'Down went
McGinty?' " The Sentinel answers by
relating an incident that occurred dur
ing the wet season after Noah's ark was
built. An ' Irishman named McGinty
having lost his rubber boots, it is pre
sumed, climbed' up a tree to keep his
nether extremities out of the wet. After
he had beckoned in vain for Noah to
come over with his ark he stepped upon
a higher limb to escape the rising water
and just as he told Noah he migh$ go to
the "divil wirh his bloody boat" as it
was only going to be a shower anyhow,
his feet slipped and he was lost in the
seething waters. ' Just as he fell, Noah
was heard to remark "Down - went
McGinty."
The death of. Cardinal Manning re
moves a great man. Such an' intellect
as his rises above the clash of creeds.
No matter what church he belonged to,
his death is a loss to humanity. He
was a mitered prince of the Roman
Catholic church, and to the last worked
in the London slums like a common
curate. He cared for nothing but the
saving of souls, and the soul of a coster
monger was to him as precious as the
soul of -a monarch. . . Every head in
London uncovered when "he .passed, in
honor of the man. 'With him perishes
the last of the great English cardinals
of the Catholic church. Newman, his
equal in intellect, and like him a con
vert from the church of England, passed
away two years ago ; Wiseman is dead,
and only pne remains,, but he is dead to
the world. We refer to one who is
doubtless forgotten to many of our
readers Caadinal Howard. He was
from one of the proudest bouses in England,-
that of Norfolk. His brother,
Duke of Norfolk, ranks among the Eng
lish nobility. As a guardsman his was a
magnificent figure, and when he re
signed and joined the church the army
regretted the. loss of a gallant officer.
His first appearance in the rich robes of
a cardinal, which set ofl his fine figure
to advantage, created a sensation. He
was considered to be the handsomest
man in England. A sad fate befell him.
He was seized with a sudden madness,
an incurable malady, and for many
years the unfortunate Cardinal Howard
has been in seclusion in Kome.
