extraordinary murder.
The London public has lately been profound
ly excited by a murder which has attraoted an
unusual arnouut of attcutiou oo account ot its
strange aud revolting features, and the com
plete mystery which surrouods its commission
?and the preceding circumstances. The story of
the discovery is thus told by the Daily News of
JMonday, the 13th instaut:
4,Au extraordinary case of mutilation was dis
covered by ihe pulice on Saturday eveoiog un
der very peculiar circumstances, and although
the police authorities arc strongly of tbe ppin
ioo that a terrible murder ha* been committed,
tbe identity ot the woman who is the supposed
?victim is ao open question. It seems that in a
house io Commercial road, east, a Mr. Henry
VVaiuwright formerly resided with his wife and
family, lie carried on the business of brush
and haroess maker, and was a contractor to the
Metropolitan pulice. He removed from the
house in question to School-house lane, Cbing
ford, Essex, but continued to have access to
his previous residence io the Commercial road,
which is now empty. Oa Saturday evening,
between 5 aud 6 o'clock, Wainwright, who was
walking in the Commercial road, met a boy,
whom he engaged to carry two parcels to a cab.
The boy accordingly went with him to the
empty house io the Commercial road, in front
of which a four-wheeled cub was waiting. Io
this the boy placed the two parcels which he
brought from tlie bouse. Wainwright then
entered the cab, followed by a woman, who it
has since been ascertained is Alice Day, a
dressmaker, residing at Queen's court, Com
mercial road. Au unpleasant smell from
?the parcels attracted the boy's atteution, and
he fancied something was wrong. When the
-cab was driven away the boy ran after it, fol
lowing it through' Bishopsgate street, Grace
?Church street, and over London bridge. On
his way he mentioned his susuicions to several
police constables, who, however, took no ootice
?of the matter. Persistsutly following the vehi
cle into tbe Borough High street, he met Po
lice Constables Cox, No. 290, and Turner, No.
48, and asked them to "stop the cab; there is
bouiethiog the nutter." The lad further said,
"I'll have nothing to do with it for a hundred
pounds," and then ran away at full speed.
?Such strange conduct iuduced the constables to
follow the cab, which stopped near the Town
Hall. The mao Wainwright got out aud was
?seen to enter an empty house, known as the
4Tleu and Chickens," No. 54 High street,
Borough, of which he had the key. He car
jied with him one of the parcels, and having
left it in the house, returned to the cab, and
?was in tbe act of taking out the second parcel
when tbe constables approached him. On the
police insisting upon searching the parcels,
Waiuwrigbt appeared greatly confused, and of
fered the officers ?100 each if they would let
ihiin go. iiuving secured the mau aud womau,
;fche police proceeded to open the parcels, aud
in ;tib?ui they found the body of a full grown
woiitW) cut into pieces. Neither the man nor
the woman with him offered any explanation.
They wore removed to the policestation atStjne s
Eud,B .rough, as were also the two parcels. The
parcels which wtre covered with American cloth
jeoemblad peddlers' packs, and on examining
them Dr. Lirkiu found no portion of the body
deficient. Tbe pieces were in a very decom
posed condition, and the medical man was of
the opinion that they had been subject to the
influence of quicklime, and that death had
taken place at least two months ago. The
trunk of the body alone was in one of the par
cels; the head, legs, feet, arms and hands in the
other. Every limb bad been disjointed, and
the right thigh bore indications ot a severe
blow thereon. At the police station the pris
oners were charged with murder. Wain
wrigbt did not betray the slightest emotion at
his position, aud said nothing explanatory ot
the reason for bis possession ot the remains.
The woman was also reserved io her manner.
She, however, offered a vague explanation to
the effect that she met the man io the Com
mercial road, and he asked her to accempany
him in a ride, to which she consented.
"Wainwright and the woman were examined
before Magistrate Benson, Monday morning.
Meanwhile, it had been discovered that Wain
wright's house adjoiued the Pavilion Thea
tre. Alice Day, the woman arrested with
him, was a ballet girl, and the common sus
picion was that the murdered womau was also of
that vocation, though oo light was thrown upon
the cause and circumstances of her murder by
aby discoveries in court or out ot it."
A Misnamed Congress.?Good loDg names
are imposing things. "National Agricultural
Congress" souods well. It brings before the
mind the picture of a noble hall tilld with scien
tiSc farmers from every State of the Union, all
deliberating most earnestly over the advance
ment ot that great art that dates back to Adam.
In point of fact, the "National Agriculiual Con- i
gres6," which has just held a fourth aunual ses- i
sioo at Cincinnati was composed of thirty or forty
estimable gentlemen, real or amateur farmers,
from a few of the Western States, and a parlor
at the Grand Hotel was not too small for their
entire accommodation. The object ot these con
fesses appears to be to listen 10 addresses, and
a* no delegate fails to come without ODe, there ,
are a great many to be beard. It could not. j
therefore, be reasonably expected that much
time would be left afterward tor praotical ac- j
tiou. The addresses cover a range of subjects,
not all strictly belonging to agriculture. The
only work ot any consequence done by the
, "Congress" was the parage of a resolution
asking for a settled and uniform policy in the
Ioternal Revenue laws relating to tobacco, the
reduction of the tax on that article to ten cents
a pound, and the removal of all unnecessary re
strictions from the trade. Another resolution
approved ot the tour water routes recommend
ed by the United States Senate committee as
proper tubjects for Government patronage.
Ooe member urged the necessity of investigat
ing the mysteries of locusts and potato bugs,
and submitted a memorial calling upon the
uovernment to set the Agricultural Bureau to
work attending to this. This proposition came
iiRut home to the business and bosoms of the
RNcultural Congressmen, but they did not ac
Pt it, and so the best job they could have
o^ rv! remains undone.-iV. Y. Journal
