ANOTHER TRUNK MYSTERf.

What Pittsburgh Baggagemaster Dis
covered In an Ill-smelling Trunk-A Mys-
terry Rivalling That of st. Louis-The
Trunk Shipped from Chicago.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, May 2.-The peculiar
odor arising from small trunk at the
Union Depot yesterday, caused a sus-
picion that something was wrong. When
1t was taken from. the Chicago train this
morning at 1880 O'Clock the baggagemen
noticed the strong smell emanating from
it, and it was left standing outside the
baggage-room all day. The trunk was
finally opened this evening by the depot
men, and was found to contain the body
of a man. The body was packed
in skillful way, being securely
tied before being placed in the trunk.
rope placed around the neck, left arm
and body, just under the arms, was
wrapped tightly around the left leg, both
limbs being drawn up. The arms were
tied securely around the neck.
Word was sent to Flannery's under
taking rooms, and the body was then
taken there. The train on which the
trunk arrived is known as "No. g." and
left Chicago Thursday at 3:l5 p. m. The
trunk was checked from Chicago to Pitts
burgh, the number of the check being
ALL. Mr.. jenkins telegraphed to Thom-
as Adams, agent at Chicago last night,
and received the following reply:
''No, sir, can not say who had trunk
bearing Chicago & Pittsburgh check"
No one connected with the depot had
any idea of the owner or whether the
person procuring the check in Chicago
had accompanied the body. The body is
that of an Italian, about five feet ten
inches high and smoothly shaven,
dark hair and eyebrows, thick
lips and neck, and would probably weigh
150 pounds. 1t was dressed in COM
mon flannel undershirt, gray plaid pants
and dark vest. In the pocket of the vest
was found receipt for money order fol
$25, sent from Chicago February 25th,
and contained the name of Phil
lipi Caruso. Those who viewed
the remains at the depot ano
at the undertaking rooms were OF thu
unanimous opinion that the man had beef
killed in quarrel, and then packed in th'
trunk and shipped, in order to cover NJ
the crime. The body was partly decom
posed. Coroner Dressler said the maj
had undoubtedly been dead several days
A telegram was sent to the Chief o
Police at Chicago, to which reply wa
received saving that the check 1 : tn
trunk had been procured by thre
Italians, but further than that, nothin
could be learned of them.

An Unpleasant Alternative.

YouNGsTowS, o., May 4,-Employes
OF Brown Bonnell & Co.'s large iron
works here were notified by circular Sat-
urday night that after May 3lst they
would have to accept a reduction or quit
work. The works are in the hands of
Receiver Brown, who has been prevented
by the courts from signing the scale,
though he agreed to pay amalgamated
prices. Workmen think the demand is
very strange, considering that the state !.
ment published last week showed profit
of over $25o,000 in two years, and say
that the reduction will be resisted.
