was some weight to it and no
merely a loose blanket, ripped i
open when he got it close enough
to the bank and to his horror
| found that it contained the body
of a human. He at once gave the
alarm, the Sheriff, Coroner anC
officers were summoned and lthe
body removed from the water
and taken to Turpen's undertaA-
ing rooms. The body was wrap
ped in a foreign-made wool blan-
ket, wrapped round and round
with ordinary fence wire and a
seventy-pound car coupler fast
ened about the knees with a stout
rope. The man had evidently
been murdered, as there were
many stab wounds on his body
and his throat had been cut from
ear to ear, almost severing the
head from the body. On his
right arm the initials G. B. K.
1870 had been tattooed, the only
marks or evidence that would
lead to Identification. Heis sup
posed to be one of three foreign
ers that had been working on the
Cincinnati Northern railway here
last summer and lived in a box
car along the track a few feet
north of the depot. One of them
turned up mysteriously missing
last fall, but his comrades gave
it out that he had returned to the
old country. The features of the
body were unrecognizable, and
showed that it must have been
in the water some four or five
months. These workmen left the
Cincinnati Northern last Novem-
ber-one of them being employed
at Covington, O., and the other
by the Pennsylvania Lines on
work just east of town. Coroner
Wolverton held an inquest Mon
day afternoon and every effort is
being made by the officers to fas-
ten the crime upon the guilty
parties.

MORE TALK ON
THE BIG MATCH
What Trenton Paper Says of
De Orc and Ralph.

A Trenton newspaper has the fol-
lowing comment on the recent
Ralph-De Orc pocket billiard contest,
won by the Cuban by a comfortable
margin:
The defeat of Edward Ralph by
Alfred De Orc at pocket billiards has
caused more talk among the follow
ers of sport than any other event
that has taken place in this city in
many months. The general opinion
seems to be that Ralph should now
be the champion, and those who
think thusly base their argument on
the fact that the Hightstown man
practically had the first match won,
but relinquished his hold by permit
ting the Cuban to get away with a
protest that would surely have been
oyerruled by the Brunswick-BaIke
Collender Company.
Many also believe that De Orc
purposely neglected to call the ball
that caused the calling off of the
match, as they say he realized that
he was beaten, but felt confident of
victory in another match. If that
was the case things worked out very
nicely for Mr., De ORC.
In the second match Ralph was
all at sea and he showed conclu-
that until he masters position
play his chances of dethronfng De
Orc are slim"
