that lifeless form.
Will Be Buried Saturday.
Coroner Paris has ordered burial on
Saturday, the 23d of this month. For
five long weeks the body has lain al the
| undertaker's parlors. His picture has
been published, his description spread
abroad, and yet he is still unknown.
Five times has he been identified, scores
sworn that they knew him, and his name
been given to the press as a surety.
Thrice have grieving mothers come to the
city from the distance to find it was not
their boy. Wilcox, he was first called,
and last, some eight or ten persons have
sworn his name was James Thornton
Goss. Among the number are relatives
of Goss but so far, none of them has
offered to take charge of the body, ami
neither the parents or brothers have
answered the kilograms and letters that
have been sent them. Although some. are
positive, the impression Is beginning to
spread abroad that the wrong track has
been taken again.
In the interval five policemen have
sworn that it was another man, but this
has been disproved. 1t has been sug-
gested that he came south with party of
electricians that were here working for
the Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company, and that, when his COM
rades returned, he was left behind
Numerous are the rumors but nothing
can be positively decided and the trail is
as cold as ever
Had Plenty of Money.
Dressed in good clothes, with $500 in
his pocket as well as fine watch, fol-
lowed around the streets by two high
waymen, struck over the head with a
scantling, hauled away in carriage and
dumped in an unconscious condition on
the railroad tracks at Eighteenth street
and Powell avenue, picked up by an am
bulance the next morning, died at St..
Vincents hospital ond the 18th of Feb
ruary, and now, after weeks of waiting
to be buried in the Potters' field, without
friend to shed tear over his remains,
the man has been lost among the hordes
of humanity.
The case is one to excite the thought
of the pessmist upon the frailties OF
life. Seldom has Birmingham had to
deal with such a mystery, and that 1t
should not be solved seems hard to be-
lieve.
However the body cannot remain recog-
nizable much longer, and there would be
no use of holding it. An inquest will be
held on the 23d and if no one has claimed
it 1.-The unknown man will be laid away
without even a name to honor his mem

ALARMED
BY THE OUTLOOK
Sees Great Danger Ahead for
the Railroads
CAPITAL GROWING TIMID
With Advances In Wages and Other
Increases In Cost of Operation
Roads Have No Alternative
But to Advance Rates.

l.. Sewer vice president and traffic
manager of the seaboard, spent yester-
day in Birmingham, and will go to New
Orleans this morning. Mr.. Sewer for
merly lived in Birmingham and was gen
eral freight agent of the Alabama Great
Southern He has a large number of
friends in the district and state.
In discussing the situation in railroad
circles yesterday Mr. Sewer said
Something has to be done to give the
railroads more revenue for the amount of
freight they haul. What that something
is I do not know just now but we will
have to have readjustment of the rates
in some way so as to give us greater
revenue from our freight.
1.-THE conditions are much more serious
than a great many people realize The
statements by the high officials of rail-
roads about the serious conditions are
not cries of Wolff wolff when there is
no wolf. There is an immense amount of
truth in what they are saying about the
railroad situation.
1.-THE railroads are not making any
money, and it is only a matter of time
before we can no longer operate them.
Our revenues are being curtailed in so
many places and our expenses so in
creased that it is causing us considerable

seaboard Alive to Conditions.


1.-THE management of the Seaboard is
alive to the conditions in the territory
through which it passes, and is trying to
satisfy the people by giving them the SER
vice to which they are entitled. This
line, however like many others through
out the United States, has not at this
time the facilities. We are trying to
equip this property with all tho necessary
facilities to give satisfactory service to
all.
However, try as we may, there are
many obstacles in the way to hinder us
in the work of providing the additional
facilities, the principal one at this time
being labor Everyone in this district is
familiar with the demand for labor, and
the great scarcity of the proper kind of
labor The railroads especially are in
need of labor and even .pe advances in
wages which have been made have not
had the effect of improving the situa-
ton.
with the advances in wages and other
increases In the cost of operations there
is nothing for the railroads to do except
to advance rates in order to pay the
fixed charges, and when a railroad Is I'M
able to meet it's fixed charges it must In
crease its revenue or go into the hands
of a receiver

Thinking comrade dear of you,
And the many trying scenes of long

The tears spring to my eyes,
Spite of all that / can do,
Dreaming of the "Boys of Sixty One"
Then come, come, come,
Those comrades call to you;
Bring along the good old fife and drum,
And beneath our starry flag
Let US rally once again
And rehearse the "times and tunes" of
Sixty-One.
Bring the good. old bugle, boys,
Also the fife and drum,
So when we gather in Dubuque we
sure can make things hum,
That even the people on the streets
Will think we're going some
When Phillips rolls the signal on his
drum.
| Hurrah! hurrah!!
Come Join our jubilee.
Hurrah! hurrah!! if the cops will lei
| us be,
Then we sure will have time
That will remembered be,
When playing for the ':old boys" il
