EVIDENTLY AMURDER.
AN INFANTS BODY DISCOVERED
Under cireumstaness. which Prove Infant.
eide has been committsd-No Clue TO
the Guilty Partles-The Coroner De.
tetminSd to unoarth the Mystery.

Early yesterday morning two or three
Of the employees at the Central Glass
Works, while on their way to their work,
in passing the old Catholic cemetery, at
the upper end of Manchester, noticed a
large paper box lying inside the enclosure.
There was something peculiar about this
in the minds Of the young men, and their
curiosity being aroused, they entered for
the purpose OF ascertaining what the box
contained. Opening 1t they were horri-
fed at finding the remains Of an infant
wrapped in q purple skirt. Coroner
Schultze was at once notified and soon
after reached the cemetery and made an
examination. The dead infant was OF
the male sex, and at the time Of It's
death was probably about four days
old. II was fully developed and all the
organs were found TO have been in a per
fectly healthy condition at the time Of its
death. The cause Of Its death was plainly
shown by the marks Of small rope OF
cord about its neck; It had been strangled
to death. The body had been lightly
sprinkled with lime, wrapped in purple
underskirt and placed in box such as
shirt manufacturers Use for putting ur
half q dozen shirts. After the examine
ton the Coroner took possession Of the
box and skirt aud had the remains inter
red. He did not deem 1t necessary to hold
a Jury inquest at the time.
Who the mother OF the dead infant is
who WIS its murderer or who placed II
where It was found Is not now known
and there Is practically no clue to follow
up that will lead to revealing them. II
was said that hack was seen crossing
the Seventeenth street bridge at an early
hour Sunday morning, shortly alter mid
night, and that It was driven through Man
chester in the direction OF the cemetery
Coroner Schultze upon hearing Of thit
thought that the mysterious, hack follow.
ed BY officers Junkins and Barum, o.
this city, and Marshal McConnaughey
Of Bridgeport, Saturday night and
Sunday morning, which was men
toned in yesterdays paper, might have
had some connection with this case, and
at once started to make inquiries and ex'
anime into the Saturday night affair, but
nothing could be learned that would indi-
cate that the two cases were in any way
connected with each other. The Coroner
will continue his investigation in the
hopes OF ascertaining who the guilty par,
ties are and bringing them to justice.

Phdippt Republican,
A carload OF baled hay was shipped to
this place this week. The farmers OF this
county say that it don't pay to raise grain
on their land, and as q consequence our
people are compelled to send somewhere
In the neighborhood Of SIC, 1000 out OF the
county every year for bread and meat. 1t
looks now as though the next cry you

have been for number OF years, and the
worst part OF it is they are getting harder,
and il this policy Is continued by tho
landholders Of the county it is only a
question OF time until the whole county
will be bankrupt. Every farmer should
be sure and raise enough grain Tor his
own use and small surplus TO supply
the needs Of his neighbor who follows
some other vocation.

The principal topic Of conversation
about town Just now is the meeting Of the

stood that the list is not full, few OF
those drawn not being eligible, and
it will be necessary to summon
several additional jurors to complete
the panel. 1t is the common re-
port on the street, and comes from persons
who claim to be posted, that no gambling
cases or cases growing out Of law-break-
ing by bad women will be presented by
the Prosecutor, and that il the jurors de-
sire to move. against these denominations
they will be obliged to take the initiatory
steps themselves.
Mayor Grub says he is awaiting the
action of the Grand Jury. II that body
takes no steps to suppress gambling, he
will again instruct the Chief OF Police TO
move upon them, and II he refuses, will
again report him to Council. He will
alsoinsist upon a meeting OF the Council

Arrested.
For some time past the Central Glass
Company has had trouble with a number
Of East Wheeling boys and young men,
who were discharged from the works
sometime ago for cause, and have since
annoyed the other boys working there.
They comprise what Is known as the
"Dirty Dozen" Yesterday one Of them,
named Dick Bradley, went into the fac.
tory. He was ordered out by
Manager Louis Shahb, who fol-
lowed him to the door. There Jimmie
johnson, Bradley, john Mcdonald and
FIVE or six Others, ranging in age from Is
to is, began To stone the manager, and
drove him back into the factory. BY this
time quite a crowd had collected, and
President Scott noticing the commotlon,
came out. The boys ran, but Officers
Wilkie aud DufFay o little later arrested
Bradley and McD Donald and they will ap-
pear before Judge LETTERS this morning.
Tho whole difficulty appears to have
arisen from the fact that the boys Of the
"Dirty Dozen" had celebrated Book Beer
Day too freely.
