NOW WATCHING FOR COAT


 in the tragedy which was brought to light at the septic plant last Sunday. It was reported that other portions of the body have appeared at the mouth of the Jef- ferson county sewer, leg and the hair having been taken out yesterday, but nothing was found by which he could be further Identified
 l J. H. Ralston, a barber of Brighton, who boarded with Joan St. James in this city, was examined and when he was shown the striped pants and the belt, he was almost positive that they were the property of St. James. He also thought that the pocketbook and pencil holder were similar to those which the barber had carried. Frank Laird the proprietor of the shop where St. James worked, did not remember enough to change the status of uncertainty.
 This evidence is not considered eonclu- sive, but the gneral opinion is that St. James is the unfortunate victim.
 Two months ago the barber disappeared from Brighton and although the local union has made determined efforts to trace him there has never been single clew discovered of his whereabouts.
 The remains are being held in the under taking parlors of Kennedy Bros for fur ther developments. The coroner has called a meeting of the jury for next Monday at II a. m., and it is hoped that by that time some additional evidence may come up If the coat should be taken from the septic tank no doubt papers would be found which would positively identify the body close watch is being kept by the authorities and the refuse is dragged every afternoon.

 Work on Library. As the neat pressed brick are laid, one by one, on the new Carnagie library build- ing the passers on Eighteenth street are DeSlnnlnB to see what a me structure will soon grace the Marvel City. The masons are now laying the outside walls and are progressing rapidly. Much of the stone work Is already in place around the windows, while the great granite pillars which will rise on each side of the stone steps are being set up. | There is a general expression of pleasure that a plain dark red brick is being used | instead of the pale light looking effect of many Carnegie libraries. The exterior will present dignity of appearance that is appropriate to the store house of great minds, while the interior will be simple l in it's fittings with no architectural flour ishings to 1etract the attention of the student
 It is hoped that everything will be com pleted for occupancy by the first of next year, and possibly the committee can arrange a reception for Christmas night as was done in Ensley. The book com mittee is busy selecting books, and will have them ready and listed to go into the library as soon as it is completed.
