WAS HE MURDERED?

The Discovery of nm Unacceptable BODY
A Chain of Circumstances Quite sus-
picious-A Mystery.
Coroner Mcdowell last night brought to
the city the decomposed, discolored and un-
recognizable corpse of man that had EVIL
IDENTIFY lain two months in the mud and ice
of CHARTERS creek at Laurel station
on the Pittsburg, CHARTERS and Youghio-
gheny Railroad. Tattoos of the initials
"B. M" and banner shield on the left
arm marked the body, which was 81 feet
in stature and had evidently weighed about
165 pounds, though whether originally
black or white, was question.
Very plain clothing. blue and white
striped cheviot shirt, and, in one of the
pockets, a prescription with the address,
Washington, Pa. as the only remaining
words, are all that remain to aid identity.
The Coroner said last night that, about
two months ago, two colored men at Mans
field had quarrel, Immediately after which
one of the men disappeared and has not
been seen since. The other man was then
arrested, charged with having thrown the
missing man into the creek; but, as the
body was not recovered and nothing proved
the murder, that charge was withdrawn.
d, The missing man had wife at Washing
ton, Pa, where he had formerly lived, and
the Coroner believes that, taking all the
facts into consideration, the body found
Yesterday was that of the missing man. An
Investigation will be made to-day.

DYSPEPSIA PRODUCERS.

The Pickle Men Meet and Contract for Mil
lions of Cucumbers-NO Trust or Pool in
This Case.
The Pickle Manufacturers Association
met in the city yesterday to compare notes
and regulate their contracts for the coming
year. There are about 40 firms in the asso-
citation and they were all represented. Mr..
Fred. Loeble, of Philadelphia, presided.
Mr.. Williams, a heavy dealer of Detroit,
in explaining the object of the meeting,
said: 'We didn't meet to-day to advance
prices or even discuss prices. Our object
is to feel the market and see how many
pickles the people of the country will con-
sumo this year. Usually we salt three times
as many cucumbers as are eaten, and thev
become dead loss on our hands. Then
the grangers get an idea there is money in
the business, and they want more than their
share. Last year our firm contracted for
10000, 900 cucumbers, and other large con-
Germs bought them up in like proportions.
We are anxious to regulate the amount
from year to year so that the market will
not be overstocked.
There is little money made in the busi-
ness. The smaller manufacturers are re-
sponsible for the poor prices. They buy in
lots on borrowed money, and in order to
raise funds to help them out of emergencies,
they are forced to sell at low prices. There
are pickles sold in Chicago for 81 so per
barrel less than. they cost to put up. Our
price is 81 so, not 90, and we cannot be
induced to sell for less"
Mr.. Williams could not say how many
pickles were sold last year, and he was un-
willing to divulge the amount contracted
for this year, but the number will reach the
millions. Woe betide humanity and the
poor stomachs that will suffer.

THE CHILDREN'S PETITION.
One of the Most Impressive Remonstrances
Against License.

One of the Most Impressive Remonsfrances
Against License.
South Versailles township presents to the
Judges of the coming License. Court petit
ton that is probably the prettiest and most
pathetic in expression Of all such documents
heretofore presented to the local courts. It
is signed exclusively by 81 children of the
township, and says:
We, the undersigned children, petition our
Honorable Judges, and earnestly pray them
not to grant licenses to any applicants for the
said South Versailles township, for our sakes.
"For our sakesl" Could there be more
charmingly childlike expression written in
right at that point-no matter if parental
hand did pen the petition? "And little
child shall lead them" may not have been
true alone of that sacred occasion about
which the words were first spoken, by Him
'who spake as never man spake."
Tomorrow will be the last day allowed
for the filing of remonstrances against ap-
plicants for liquor licenses. But few re-
monstrances have been filed so far. but it is
probable that a number will be presented
to-day and tomorrow. Eight were filed
yesterday.
The remonstrances not alluded to above
were against J. A. Carline, No. 73 Forty
third street, SO signatures; j. M. Steiger-
wald, IS Forty-third street, SO signatures;
Louis Lautner. Nos. 148 and $50 West End
avenue, Allegheny, "a signatures; Charles
Downey, Fred Hoberman, Patrick Howard
and Morris & King, all of Duquesne,

Names

WHERE THE REPORT BEGAN.
The Count di MontercoIe's Literary Contri-

The Count di Montercole's Literary Contri-
button Offered in New York.
The discussion of the affairs of the Count
di Montercole is growing rather wearisome,
but it would appear that the Count himself
is not only responsible for it, but not un-
willing for consideration to keep on. The
following is from the New York World of
Tuesday, and is probably the origin and ex-
PLANTATION of the statements in some of the
Pittsburg papers yesterday that the Count
wanted to sell his story. 1t will also be
noticed the World states that the Count was
to start for home yesterday:
City Editor World:
Mandate mezzo Giorno un vestro rappresentate
CoNTE DI MoNTERcoLE.
This telegram flashed into the World office
yesterday morning, smoking hot from the
wires. In response reporter was at once sent
to interview the noble scion of the green baize
and revolving-wheel family (as the name sug-
gests). and after seeking unsuccessfully in vari-
GUS resorts of Spaghetti and Chlant1 at last un-
earthed him at the Hotel Brunswick.
Instead of finding fine, handsome, dashing-
fact, one who even might by a large stretch Of
the Imagination be supposed capable of win
ming fair daughter of the Smoky City-the re-
porter was almost taken aghast by meeting a
pldlL, AhulNAuudls LC-
sembling more a scantily-fed tonsorial artist
than nobleman of sunny Italy. He had not
even the redeeming trait of being mannerly.
He stated at the outset that his business had
to do solely with the proprietor of the World;
that "he had story"-a ''story" he wished to
dispose of for certain monetary consideration
"a STORY" that dated ''de lie premier moment
que TAI rencontre ma femme" (this with falter-
ing voice). Upon being assured he could not
see the proprietor of the World, he then most
modestly requested that one of the chief
editors be Immediately dispatched to him to
buy his ''story."
He was most sanguine that over 100, ,000 copies
of his famous history since he first met his wife
could be sold IN a. single day in New York;
another 100000 copies in Paris and almost a
like number in London. The Count (erfeit)
made the narrowing announcement as the
World reporter was leaving that he would turn
his back upon America and the res. of her fair
daughters tomorrow morning.

A FIREBUG ON SIXTH STREET, =,
A Livery Stable Destroyed Last Night and
Man Arrested for II.


Man Arrested for II.
The livery stables of Alex Montgomery,
on Sixth street, were almost entirely de-
stroyed by fire last night, and a former en-
ploye of the place, William Mcfarland,
was locked up on the charge of having fred
the stables.
1t was after II o'clock when the stable
men, who were asleep in the building,
awoke from the noise of the cracking flames
and smoke. They Immediately jumped up
and let the 40 horses out of the building.
The harness and carriages were also pulled
out.
In the meantime two alarms had been
sent in and the engine companies attempted
to put out the fire. But on account of the
large amount iof hay it was very difficult.
The damage to Mr.. Montgomery's property
amounts to 81, 500 and the building which
belongs to the Shields estate was damaged
to the extent of $1,000. All is covered by
insurance.
Mcfarland was accused of having set the
place afre, because he was seen to come out
of the building Immediately after the fire
started. 1t is thought that he did it out of
revenge, Mr.. Montgomery having dis
charged him some time ago.

Who Attacked CIenry, the Brakeman, But
Professional Train Buns.
Regarding the attack upon Michael
Cleary, Lake Erie railroad brakeman,
which occurred on Tuesday night on train
near Coraopolis, Mr.. Charles Dietrich, the
trainmaster, gave the following statement
last evening:
''Those eight men are professional train
buns. who rob the employees of trains, gen.
orally around their pay days. They did not
mean to rob the train, because everything
was found intact, and they had attacked
Cleary on top of the train.

Systematically robbed of freight lately; in
fact can say that there has been less steal
ing done lately than ever before.
"These men knew that the brakemen had
been paid that day, and for that reason they
went for Cleary to get his little stipend. 1
saw him to-day, and he is fairly on his way
to recovery, while the eight young fools who
attacked him are in Jail awaiting Mondays
hearing.

LIKE VIC. MOROSINI,
A Gripman's, Wife the Daughter of
Wealthy Cincinnati Parents,
GIVES HER HUBBY THE QUIET SLIP.
She Believed Her POverty-Stricken Master
Didn't Love Her.
AN EXCITING MARRIAGE IN KENTUCKY

A tall, slim young man, gripman on the
East End division of the Penn avenue
traction line, was at the Union depot last
night, the very picture of distress. His fair
bride of two years had flown during the
night, leaving him nothing but simple
little note, and the distracted young man
was wild to know whittier she had taken
her course. He furnished the officers at the
depot with a description of his wife, but
they had not seen her. He refused to give
his name, but, in pathetic language, he told
his tale.
1t was the old story of wealthy Cincin-
natl girl marrying a man beneath her
in station, and, in the end, after a struggle
for existence, losing heart and leaving her
lowly lover to live in single blessedness.
HIS ROMANCE IN THE ROUGH.
The following is his tale of woe: eve
have been married for two years. came to
Pittsburg from Cincinnati about six weeks
ago, in search of work, and, when got my
present position, my wife followed
me few weeks later. We boarded in the
East End. and when arose this morning
discovered that my wife was gone. On a
table she had left a note saying that she
didn't believe 1 loved her any more, and
this was her reason for leaving me so sur
reptitiously. don't believe she has eloped
with anyone.
"My wife is the daughter of one of the
wealthiest paint manufacturers In Cincin-
natl. was street car driver there, and
the girl rode on my car 20 school. We
didn't even as much as speak to each other
for four or five years, though I knew very
well who she was. Finally we struck up
an acquaintance, loved and were
MARRIED IN KENTUCKY
'Two hours after the knot was tied her
angry father, with two deputvff sheris,
arrived on the scene, too late to prevent the
marriage. Furious with rage, he threat
ened to kill me, and he disowned his daugh-
ter on the spot. He has not spoken word
to her since.
"We continued to live happily in Gin
cinnati for two years. worked at nv old
occupation until lost my job. 1 then
came to Pittsburg, and here am trying to
track my wife, who has deserted me.
don't know why she left me. She says in
her note that she thought my love for her
was waning; but that is not So"
And the unfortunate young fellow began
wringing his hands, and it was quite evil
dent that he still adored her. He declined
to give the name of the girls rich father.

Captain Steel, of Cramp & Sons, the ship

can compel American steamers 10 carry the

HUSTLING CHILL.
He Would Like to be the Next Pension

He Would Like to be the Next Pension
Agent for This District.
Colonel Chill Hazard went to Lancaster
last night to present some flags to an organ
ization of Grand Army men there.
The Colonel is an avowed candidate to be
Pension Agent for this district, and he says
that if strong Grand Army Endorsements
will secure the Office. he is the man that
will get it. While in the East he will do
some quiet work in Philadelphia to help his
candidacy.
Colonel Hazard stated that while coming
down the river he saw great many boats
towing empties to the upper pools. Empty
barges, he says, always means business, and
he thinks the operators propose to make up
for time lost In every month for the past
10 there has been a coalboat stage, but 'un-
fortunately the coal men were not prepared
for the water.
