Evidently the government Is intent upon
vigorous measures to suppress railroad re-
batting. This is indicated by the institution
of proceedings at Philadelphia. There may
be no success in securing convictions: the
railroads there may be innocent, as they
claim they are, but much can be done to put
down the evil by swift and relentless action
wherever bit of evidence appears ON which
to base it.

Remains Not Identified.

Walter and Thomas Jones, both from
Cedar Rapids, called at the Halligan
undertaking parlOrs TO view the re-
mains of the man identified as Will F.
Jones, who lost his life at the Ripley
street Orders last Thursday morning
They examined the corpse and declar-
ed that it was not that of their brother,
who had worked on the steam shovel
with Contractor Nesmith, of Moline,
and who was somewhat of wanderer.
They felt much relieved when they
found that the dead man was not their
brother. a few days ago Mr.. Nesmith
thought that the deceased was the man
who had once worked for him, and
who had two brothers at Cedar Rapids
and one at a little station near st.
Paul, all in the employ of the Rock
Island road. He partly identified him
by his interlOcking eyebrows. The
brothers, however, failed to identify
him, and particularly so because the
deceased had coal black hair, while
their brothers hair was very light.
The body is still lying at the Halligan
undertaking parlors awaiting burial.
II is likely that, in accordance with the
law concerning unclaimed bodies, it
will be shipped to some medical insti-
tuition to be designated by the state
authorities of the board of health.

Sheriff Macarthur, in whose custody
Conroy has been since standing trial

the attendants at the jail state that the
