skin and muscles had been removed on
both sides. The skin and flesh were en-
tlrey removed from both thighs and legs
excepting the skin upon the knee and
ankle points. Both feet were intact, and
no bones had been broken. There was
no vestige OF integument or flesh upon
either arm, the interosseus membrane of
the right forearm alone remaining. Flesh
and muscles on both hands were found
well preserved. The examination Of the
posterlor portion of the body
showed that the skin and muscles OF
the back had been cut completely
away down to the bones with the excep'
ton OF few pieces OF skin. The pelvic
bones were entirely denuded, and all the
extremities were attached to the body
by ligaments only. All the organs of the
abdominal and thoracic cavity were pres
ent, and there were no signs OF recent
Inflammation in the stomach or bowels.
Hardened Jumps of fecal matter dis
tended the large intestines, composed OF
hair moss and woody fibre.
1t is the opinion Of Doctors Buckley
and Vaudeville that the flesh had
been cut away with sharp instru-
ment, and that remaining OF the feet,
hands and face showed no signs OF de-
cay. The remains were fully identified
as those of Lieutenant Kislingbury.

MGeOCH AND WELLS.
THAT Is Said About the Recently
Instituted Law Suits

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Feb 1.-The belief in
commercial and legal circles here is that the
suit for $4,000 begun at Chicago against
McGeoch, Everingham & Co. by Tabor &
Wilson, is intended to affect the suits
now pending here between McGeoch
and Daniel Weeks McGeoch is
now in Chicago, and it is charged by some
that he has instigated the suit in order to
nection withthe co-partnership alleged by
McGeoch to exist between the two. Wells
was seen by correspondent and said he did
not think the Chicago suit would have any
bearing tho suits here. But one OF his
counsel expresses the belief that it
was started by McGeoch himself
that Wells, having brought suit
against McGeoch for large amount, (which
the latter conceais, but acknowledges he
owes; McGeoch starts the Chicago suit with
the intention of forcing Wells to settlement
by threatening him with suits down there
Then you think, inquired the correspondent,
that Daniel Wells, Jr., as partner of Peter
McGeoch in the lard deal, will be jointly
liable with him in case Tabor a. Wilson
win their suits" No, not that" re.
spOnded the lawyers, "the question is
whether be was ever partner, Wells
and McGeoch made some joint pur-
chases, there is no doubt about that, but there
is no regular partnership between them, and
never was any. That's all care to say at
present"
Counsel for McGeoch in the Wells -McGeoch
suits, said, when asked for his opinion con-
corning that Chicago suit: The only effect
it will have will be to hurt Wells" He con-
tinued: 1T will be an opening that Daniel
Wells has not expected. 1t will force him &c
pay out good deal Of money. However,
don't know enough about the details of the
new suit as yet to pass very close opinion
as to its effect

jay Gould Wants the c. Gel.

CHICAGO, Feb 1.-The report published
recently with reference to new alliance be-
tween the Wabash and the Chicago & East
ern Illinois roads seems to have been pre-
mature, for the reason that while Jay Gould
is anxious to secure the former line
he has made but the initial move in that
direction. Itappears that charter'h has been
secured by some parties working in Gould's
interest for the construction of a line to be
known as the Chicago, Richie & Danville
road This line is to connect the Wabash
with the Cairo & Vincennes road, so as to Sc
cure an entry into Cairo and a connection at
Evansville with the Louisville & Nashville
road. 1t is understood that Jay Gould is not
over DESTROYS of building new line, but will
do SO fine cannot procure the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois road. His idea is to force
the latter line to turn over its road TO him.
