WASHINGTON, May 4.-The historical WIS.,

lines. Brennan and Irwin were both
buried on the Goth in the foreign cemetery.

sentinel blameless, but he will be held for
trial. Maycully is the man who some
months ago fired at river thieves i'll the

A MANS BODY FOUND IN A TRUNK.
Trunk at Pittsburg, Pa, Caused
an NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to the
Recent st. Louis Mystery


PITTsBURG, Pa, May This evening,
Baggage Master Jennings at the Union
depot upon bursting open trunk which
gave out ii suspicious odOr, was Mortified
to find therein the body of a man securely
bound and in an advanced state of decom-
position. The face was badly .discolored
and bloated, and the stencil was 50 great
that it kept at safe distance the large
crowd which quickly gathered. The trunk
was common wooden one and evidently
had not been IN use before. 1t arrived
here from Chicago over the Pittsburg,
Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad at $40
a. m, on the morning express, and was
checked All, but no person called to
claim it, In order to get into the trunk
the body had been bent almost double.
Around the neck, arms and legs was a
cord which had cut deep into the flesh
There were no marks of violence. The
body was that of a laboring man. probably
% years old, of short heavy build, with
smooth face. There was nothing on
his person that would furnish any clue to
ms identity, except an international
money order in favor of Felippo Caroso
for S55,65. The order was drawn at Chica-
go on February 24th, 1885. The coroner
IS now holding an investigation. He is of
the opinion that the remains were in the
trunk at least thirty-siX hours
The corOner's jury found that the man
came TO his death either from strangula
ton or sutfocatlon
CHICAGO, May l.-Deligent inquiry here
has failed to develop any facts concerning
the supposed shipment from here of the
trunk opened this morning at Plttsburg
and found to contain a corpse. Baggage
men at the Fort Wayne depot, however,
believe from the description of the bag
gage and the number of the check that it
was brought there yesterday morning by
three Italians who brought it to the depot
IN an express wagon.
