LIGHT ON THE MYSTERY.
The Body Found In the Railroad Car, at
WilliamSp0rt Identified.

The public officers at Williamsport, Penn
sylvania, have been indefatigable in their
efforts to clear up the mystery surrounding
the finding of the body Of a murderered boy
In Il horse car in that city, which was enroute
from Elkton to Canada an account of which
was published in the CECIL WING, and this
week they succeeded in securing an identifi-
cation of the remains. The unfortunate boy
proves to have been Frederick Gilbert Of
Philadelphia and who had frequently been
in Williamsport, being at times employed on
the race tracks in that city. 1t is reported
that before the car reached Willamsport,
several railroaders saw a colored man leap
from the car. The suppostion is that the
parties were in the ear together and had a
quprre which ended in fight and the death
of young Gilbert.
The boys head had been mashed, appar-
emily with Il coupling pin. The car had
brought ear load of horses to Elkton, and
at the time Of the tragedy was being returned
from this place to Cana Ia its first starting
point
1t was at first supposed or thought that the
boy had come here with the horses and that
the tragedy also occurred at Elkton, but
such was not the case as all those who came
here with the car have been accounted for
The officials here thoroughly investigated
the case. The officials at Williamsport are
will lead to the apprehension of the murderer.
