Mobile has a mystery which the police department will endeavor to solve, though from indications it LOOKS to be an impossible task. The frame. minus the head, of g human being, fuii grown with remnants of the clothing and the feet clad in shoes. was un- earthed by negro laborers in the vacant lot on the west side of Magnolia, be- tween Congress and State Streets. Coroner Hershfield was notified ana with The Advertiser representative ana others, went to the scene. The bones, with shreds of putried flesh, remnants of cloth and the two shoes with bones encased therein, were all visible Not a vestige of paper was to be seen' nor was there any head to the frame
 It was soon decided to be q case Of foul play, the body having been buried in one place and the head in another but when? No one could surmise The city detectives are at york to, IT pos sible, learn of any disappearance from the city the past twelve months.
 The bones were ordered taken up and inferred in the pauper burying ground.
 Rumors are already out as to the identity of the headless body, but they are valueless, as no one anaccounted for has been reported. The detectives will use every effort to ferret out the mystery
