POS MORTEM PROVES THE MAN - FO HAVE BEEN KILLED WITH A BLUN'C INSRUMENT-SOME QUEER FACTS HAVE BEEN BROUGEFL TO. LIGECE. } CHICAGO, March 28.-The man whose body was recontly found packed in a box was murdered. This was settled definitely when Dr, Louis J. Mitchell, coroner's physician, assisted by Dr. Hektoen, held m post mortem oxamination on the body at tho county morgue. Two large I'wles had beon made in the skull, and cither would hive killed the man. The weapon with which ho was struck was some blunt instrament, as was shown by the size of tho holes. «The post mortem proved that the b'ody was that of a man 6 f6. 6 In. high, weigh- - ing about 145 pounds. Judging from the bones the body was that of a young man, about 80 or 85 years dld. There were two scalp wounds on the back and left sido of the head. Under these two scalp wounds were two skull fractures, Who one on the left temple was 1!{x1 inch. The bone in these places had been driven into the brain. The teoth wore all sound and all pres- ent, The hair on the head was medium length, straight and dark brown. There was no board or moustache. The internal organs wore all in a healthy condition, Around the body was a truss, made as if in view for rupture. 'The only cause for death found wero the skull fractures. It has been ascertained from tho books of the Northwestern Railway company that tho box was shipped from Salt Lake City, Feb.\8 1898. The consignor was G. M. Morgan: and the consignes G. M. Mor- gan, 106 South Jefferson street, Chicago. The big box remained in the froight- houso of the company in Chicago for five months, and was then sont to the storage warchouso, whoro it remained until the auotion sale. 'The police have communi- cated with Salt Lake City. A singular circumstance is that the name \G M, Morgan\ belongs to one of the most officient officers of the United\ States secret servico. He has been in Salt Linke and was quite woll known thore, bo- ing on intimate terms with the officials of tho Mormon church. | Still, it is quite cer- of the shipmont of the body. Ho was in Chicago during the World's fair. Last winter Mr. Morgan was in Chica go and was at that time an invalid. He ives were unravelors of inysteries and one day said that he had often mado failures, and tho failures wore at the times when- ho was most sure of succoss, It may be that tho shipment from Salt Lake was mado by someone knowing him to be in Chicago at tho time. 'Then there is a pos- glbility that the name was chosen at ran- dom. At present none of his Chicago friends know of Mr. Morgan's where- abouts. Whether he can help solve tho mystery is doubbful. >, The police are now endeavoring to find: the expressman who called at 166 South Jefferson stroot last wook with a lsecond.

NEW YORK, March 28.-Within a fow feot of the Seventy-second strees entrance of Contral park on the west side, a hand- some woindn committed suicide. Her clothing was of exceptional rich quality, and the ono ungloved hand which held the revolyor with which the woman had fired a shot into her brain convinced the police» man who found the body that the wom- an's position in society was ubove the commonplace.

J., March 28.-What appears to have been a brutal murder was brought to light by tho finding of the body of Mrs. Jolin Roch in astrip of woods near Estelville, a small town two miles from this place. . A man familiary known as \Spikey\ Jones, while on his way to work, found that a tree had baen felled across the path which he usually follows. Beneath the free the earth hrd been heaped in a pe- suliar manner. Jones' curiosity' was sroused and he commenced digging in the pile of dirt. After removing a few inches of the soil he came across the naked foqb of a woman. Without waiting to investi- gate further Jones hurried to this place and informed Sherif Johnson of what he had found. The sheriff suunmoned Justice Izard qnd the county clerk, and with Jones acting as their guide they made their way to tlie | spot where the foot had been uncarthed. After removing a few inchos oi earth they came upon the body of a woman. The body was clad only in a nightdress and wrapped in two old sacks. A handker- chief was wrapped tightly around the neck. and she had every appearance of having been strangled to death. ae. An investigation was made, and it was found that the dead woman was Mrs. John Roch, the wife of a man who had formerly lived in a little cottage about 200 feet from where the body was buried. Sus- picion pointed to her husband as the prob- able murderer, and a search was made for him, and it was ascertained that he left Thursday for Philadelphia in company with his little girl. It is the belief of Justice Izard and Sher- iff Johnson that the womin was buried while she was yet alive. She was last seen alive on Sunday. The family came to Es- tolville from Philadelphia about a year ago. L Once Brilliant Man Sent Up. BUFFALO, March 28.-Horace L.

BUSINESS PICKINE UP Better Outlook Appears With Better Weather. BRADSTREET'S REVIEW, COLLECTIONS CON- TINUE SLOW, BUT OTHERWISE A MILD AIR OF IMPROVEMENT PEBRVADES THE WHOLE BUST NESS - OUTLOOK-OORN - aND WHEAT EXPORTS. | Npw YORK, March 28.-Bradstrect's to- day says: The week has brought more favorable weather, which tends to create a better fecling. But trade, except at Baltimore, Minneapolis, St. Paul and Chicago, and to a moderate degree as other points, re- mains dull and unsatisfactory. The most encouraging feature is the advance in prices of wheat, Indian corn and Bessemer pig iron, the latter being based on the higher value placed on lake ores. While there have been larger sales of drygoods, shoes, hardware, iron and leather at Chicago, business in other lines continues slow,. r * Crop prospects in Iowan are good, and Kansas and Oklahoma producers aro holding Indian corn for higher prices. The check in demand for groceries and provisions at the South is due to Southern planters having raised larger food crops this year. Heavy receipts of vegetables at Southern markets are followed by reports of large crops thereof in sight. San Francisco's exports to Asin have fallen off, but those to Mexico and Cen- tral America are the heaviest on record. Portland, Or., is sending largo quantities of lumber to the west coast of South America, and Tacoma, cotton cloth, flour and lumber to Transpacific markets. One of the unpleasant features is lack of improvement in mercantile collections. This, with the commercial calm at many of the mors important trading centers, points to some of the effects of the pro- longed period of the withdrawal of capi- tal from enterprises in the United States and to the unwillingness of accumulated domestic capital to seek new ventures at present. Exports of wheat (four included as wheat) from both consts of the United. States this week are only slightly heavier than last week and far below the usual weekly average-amounting to 1,744,000 bushels, compared with 1,582,000 bushels in the previous week. One year ago the corresponding week the aggregate was 2,502,000 bushels. Exporis of Indian corn amount to 1,- 797,000 bushels this week, a small decrease from the week before, but three times the quantity sent abroad in the corresponding week a yoar ago. 2, IOWA BREASTS THE waves. The New Battleship Given Her First Dip at Cramps Shipyards, PHILADELPHIA, March 28. -The new United States battleship Towa was today launched from tho ways of the Cramps' shipyards.

Easy Victory For Dunfed, + BUFFALO, March 28.-One of the best fistic entertainments ever given in this city was that brought off by the Empire Athletic club in the old Buffalo Athletic clubhouse. 'There were four contesté on the program. 'The big bout was that be- tween Joe Dunfee of Syracuse and J; ack Baty of Buffalo. Both men were in splen- did trim. Both weighed in at 158 pounds. The bout opened with the Buffalo boy in the aggressive. Ho seemed to be very con- fAdent and landed lightly two or three times without a return. 'Ewice Dunfes at- tempted a right hand swing and fell short. The third time he was more successful, catching Baty on the jaw with a right hand swing and a short, quick hook right on top of it.

HIS SECREIARY TALKS. FURTHER INSIDE INFORMATION CONCERNING THE CAUSE Or CHB SPLIP IN THE SALVATION ARMY-GEN. BOOTHS - HIGH HANDED METHODS IN AMER ICA. 'New Yours, March £8. -The Morning Advertiser today says: - \Commander Ballington Booth requested Rev. Hali- wood, who was his private secretary for over four years, to be present at all the in- terviews which he has with his sister, Mrs. Booth-Tucier, who comes prepared to make come-sions to the kead of the hew Salvation Aring. \Commandér Booth has decided to meet no ambassador from his father alone. Mr. Haliwood, in his capacity as private secre- tary, has handled most of the correspond- ence which led up to the trouble. He will visit Commander Booth early this morn- Ing and will remain with him all day, as it is expected that Mrs. Booth-Tucker will lose no time in hurling up her brother and laying before him the general's prop- osition. \Mr. Haliwood was seen by a reporter at his Montclaiv home yesierduy. Hesays the recail of Commander Booth was the result of a scheme devised by Herbert Booth, who wis.ed to supersede his brother in command in the United States. An- other incident which Mr. Haliwood be lieves had great weight with the com- mander in reaching his decision to sever all connection with his fathor is the trou- ble which occurred over the 'Life of Mrs. General Booth,' which was written by Booth-'Tucker. 'Bailington,' he said, 'con- giders that he was vory badly. treated by London in this matter, - Although he was always regarded as a kind of favorite son, yob in the life itself it was a source ofdisap- pointment that thero was so little mien- tion made of the work accomplished by him and Mrs Booth compared with the mention made of other members of the family, notably Bramwel!, Herbert and Catherine. \Booth-Tucker ab groat expense, came over here to negotiate for the publication of the book. 'The book was published at terms disadvantageous to the army, and the blame was saddled on Ballington. The profits were to go to the general's social scheme, and the face that there had been no profits hns been the real source of the | trouble between the general and the com- mander. \Ar. Haliwood told how the commander and Mrs. Booth prepared {u - the reception to the general, whom they expected to be their guest for two weeks. He only stayed. two days. One of the first things he did in entering the house was to tear down an American flag, which was conspicuous in the decorations in his honor.\ Want on Einbezzler Pardoned.
