mond 10 line, arrived from St. Paul

heavy fog about Q o'clock Thursday

PosslbIy a Moline Man.

In order to find some clue to the
mans identity the coroner secured a
handcar and secured the track i'm the
vicinity of East Moline. About a mile
east of Moline a hat was found which
evidently belonged to the unfortunate
individual. 1t bore in its band the
label of the Mayer clothing house. a
Moline concern. This leads to the be
lief that the man resided in Moline or
vicinity. The jury adjourned until
1870 this evening. as it is thought that
the body may be identified or addi-
tional facts learned by that time.

BODY AROUND
Terrible Discovery on an Engine
at East Moline Last
Night.
CORONER HOLDS AN INQUEST
Hat With Name of Moline ClothieI
In 1t the Only Clue to
Identity.

The mangled body of an unknown
man was found wrapped around the
axle of a Burlington engine at East
Moline last night. The CHASTITY dis
covery was made by Brakeman Gable,
of No. II, when a stop had been made
near East Moline to do some switch
ing.
Coroner Eckhart went up immedi-
ately on notification. He found the
body to be that of a middle-aged man.
Several gashes in the head and a ter
rible mangling of the vital portions
of the body were responsible for an
evidently instantaneous death. When
the trainmen found the body it was
hanging from the axle by one limb.
Coroner Eckhart believes the man
was struck in Moline and carried on
the pilot as far as East Moline, where
ii dropped off when the train slowed

A Pleasant Outing.

After strenuous efforts upon the part of
the management at Cabin John to influence
the weather man, they finally succeeded and
last Sunday "Old Sol" shone forth with a
beaming countenance, shedding the efful-
gence Of his rays upon the rich and poor
alike. Every one who had been cooped up
In the house during the Indictment weather
availed himself OF his bene6cence to take au
outing, and II seemed that Cabin John was
the chosen haven OF rest and enjoyment for
the brain tired and weary-worker.
Thousands upon thousands hocked there,
until the management began TO wonder
what was the magnet of attraction. 1t
would have been an easy and simple an .
swer: The scenic beauties OF an ideal and
romantic spot made sweeter and brighter by
the enhancing strains of soft music emanat-
Ing from Haley's superb band. Listening TO
this famous band and watching the baton of
Its leader, W. IL. Haley, as they rendered
the works Of the best German composers,
one was lulled into feeling OF peace and
harmony with the wor d, and for the time
their cares and worries forgot, Till suddenly
crash and the selection Ia over and they
awake from their state of forgetiulness into
the vivid realities Of life, to hear the merry
laughter OF the children a. they were whirled
around the carousal or up and down upon
the scenic railway. Then strolling through
the grounds we come 10 the banks OF the
swift flowing Potomac and its muddy COL
ored bosom seems to say: "Go back to your
peaceful music"
So listening awhile to It's whiring waters
we wandered down by the famous stone
arch and finding shady nook we cen took
snooze, lulled in sweet restfulness and re,
pose bp the music Of some well-remembered
German melody. Our nap at end and much
refreshed we climb the bank and gaze upon
a iairY-like scene. Thousands OF bright and
happy faces, surrounded by parents, hus.
bands and fathers, backed by the green YER
dure oil nature and liz up by countless myr-
lads OF multi colored lights-a scene ne'er
TO be forgotten and one TO make the old feel
young again.
Our trip to Cabin John was filled with
memories of bygone days, when life was
full Of bright and happy dreams.
