IP T k A GHASTLY_ DISCOYEM. •OUChHT A TRUNK AT AUCTION AND FOUND A CORPSE IN IT. •cBl From .•nil Lakr rily ri < bii-)iK<>< â- * Was .>*«lrt IIS Inclalmi'il Biis«ii|t<'â€" A Jlysl'i-y Tlial Bulltr* Ilic We-liTU Po- lice. At 8 o'clock in the morning of Feb.7, 1898. a trunli o£ the ordinary size and ot •trong make was delivered at the freight •tation of the Union Pacific Railway in Salt Lake City. With the trunk came a slender man, alx)ut thirty-five years old, with dark hair, dark musi-ache and beard. He wore a soft felt hat. He aeemed to )ie nervous and in a great iurry to get through hia business. He said he wished tha trua'i s.hipped by freight to Chicago. He said that kia nrimewas G. M. Morgan and that he lived in Chicago at No. 106 Jefferson •treet and that he wished to have the trank sent to himself at that address. THE TRUNK WAS NEVER CLAIMED. The 1)U1 of lading was made out, lie crunk was marked household goods and Morgan was told that the charges would be $17.55. Ha said he would pay tbem when the trunk was delivered Hi liis house. Whi>n the liusiness was (HDpleted he hurried away. Later In Uie day he bougiiL a ticket lor Chicago lod left on an east-bound express train. The trunk reached Chicago t'eb. IB, 18)3, nine days after it was started from Salt Lake City. The Northwestern BaUroad into whose freight yards it came, had it put upon a truck and sent l» No. 161) Jefferson street. No per.son â- amed Morgan lived there, and the people at that number ha<l never heard e( any such person. So it was taken back to the freight sheds and lay there un- til July 25, 1893. As no one had claim- til it, it was turned over with a lot of otlter unclaimed bo:fes and packages to 11m warehousemen, Wakem &. Mc- Laaghlin, No. 504 North Water Street, *}io kept all the unclaimed parcels of the Kwlhwestern ro;ui until the legal time hiui expired, and then sell them •t auction. That was three years a^^o thb coming fuly. The trunk lay with a lot of ones piled upon it on the top floor of tlw warehouse. Early in February ifUt the warehousemen made a lastet- tort to deliver the oox. They sent no- ttUcations to G. M. Morgan at Salt lake CitA-, and at No. 166 Jefferson •U>itet, Chicago. No answers came. Tbea they made an effort to deliver tA» trunk. But they could find noG. m. Morgan. THE GRUE.SOME DISCOVERY. March 22, the warehousemen held auction sale, at which several humlred Mfvels were sold off to persons who OMght on the chance of there being •Waelhing in tbem. Charles Haas and Pktllip Grief, of Austin, 111., Ix>ught the truk Tor |15. They had it sent to tlMir home, but did not open it until March 26. Then they pried off the M^ and threw back the lid. The top o( a zinc box which fitted into the truik as if made for it, was revealed. So elosely was the top of the Ixjx seal- ed down that they bad to call in a black- MBith. He broke the fastenings and tkrough baik the lid. There was a sudden burst of sickcn- faMC gases that made the men reel back. Yhen they saw the body of a human Mag, bent and doubled and jammed IMo the lx>.\. The flesh was almost en- tirely decomposed. AbouC the only Itvta preserved were the bones, the wrtb, the nails and the bail-. They iHirried to the police, and soon the box Was on its way back to Chicago to be 0kamined by the police and the Coroner Oneve. It was found that the body was that •( a middle-aged man, of medium kcigbt, with dark-brown hair. The fea- tures were of course gone entirely. The •kail hod two large holes in it, sug- ring that the man hud been killed . at least two blows of ^me blunt UMrument and that he bed been struck fran behind. A heavy rope bad been paased at>out the Ixidy and the legs and arms, drawing tbem into the smallest puMiblo .space. In the lx>ttom of the wx was quicklime and some powerful 4Kid had been poured over the face. Thus the murderer had planned every- tlKBg with the greatest care. He had gat bis zinc box, his quicklime and his and ready in advance. Then be had lulled his man in leisurely fashion and iMd put him into the box with the VUcklime. After giving the corpse an Mid bath be had hermetically sealed tbe lid. The trunk was now ready for tkt freight 8t.^lion. He must have kaown the s/stem of the railways in Ckicago and must have felt perfectly OBTtain that the trunk would lie un- opened for many a day. WHO WAS THE VICTIM. .At least a score of attempts at iden- tification have been made. Only two have any suggestion of truth about tkmn. The Coroner's jurv decided that tt '» the body of Oliver Pike, of Fayette. O, He lived in Sletcombe, Wash., ami <&Bppearcd in February, 1893. Several ti dis relatives looked <tt the Iwdy and wrre certain it was Pike. They based tiMir identifi:ation upon the shape of tte nails, the teeth, the squareness ot w shoulders and tbe color of the hair. »»t it must be that the Coroner's jury J*! mistaken and that the relatives of FMse have erred; for on July 2, 1898, o*e months after the mysterious trunk wa» delivered to the Union Pacific Com- iwny at Salt Lake City, Pike's half- Mvter got a letter from him, and Pike «a» aeon in Seattle July 3, 1898. Tl>e other promising identification waa made by two Frenchmen. They say it ii the Ijody oC a rich Parisian, Jean Prwper Chazal. He appeared in Salt Lajke City with many diamonds and would not have wasted bis time and run the risks for a few dollars. So it is pretty safe to say that the murdered man was a citizen of some note in his quarter or town in the country from which he came. A SECOND POINT is that the year 1893 was tbe World's Fair, in which many foreigners were travelling ia the far West. Many of these foreigners came over before the Fair opened and travelled about the country first, instead of doing it after- wards. Third, it would l)e especially easy for one man, travelling with an- other, to arrang" a matter of this kind. It could be lone in a hotel without at- tracting any eapeiiial attention. Tbe fourth point is that tbe murderer must have l)een well acquainted with the railway shipping business. It is not likely "that he was a foreigner lately landed. Indeed, the probabilities are that he was either an Englishman or an American. The name he gave at the Salt Lake City freight jtation makes that a fair suppositum. A fifth point is that it is not probable that the two men were from tne same town or district, or that they set cut in their travels together. A sixth point is that inquiry at tbe various foreigu consu- lates in New York City might lead to the discovery of some clue to tbe mys- tery. It must have been known in tbe native place of this man that he was travelling in America. He must have relatives or friends who would, at least, inquire of tbe consuls in New York City if they had heard or could learn anything about him. Of course there is a iKJssibility that the murdered man was a defaulter or embezzler, flying from tbe law, and that his travelling companion, who murder- ed him, found this out. That would introduce a further and very grave complication. There is Jl.ODO reward for the discovery of the murderer. CAT SUPERSTITIONS. In the Tyrol girls who are fond of cats marry early. If it rains on a Dutch girl's wedding day it is Ijecause the briue has forgot- ten to feed her cat. If it rains when there is a large wash- ing on the line in Germany it is a sure sign that tbe house mother bos ill- treated the cat. Throwing a cat overboard from a ship will cause a cyclone. A person who despises cats will be carried to bis grave in a bowling storm. If the family cat lies with its back to the fire there will be a squall. If a cat licks herself against the grain take your mackintosh with you. If a cat washes herself calmly and smoothly tbe weather will be fine. Bad luck will follow if a black cat crosses your path, for the devil prowls about, especially at night, in the guise of a black cat. To dream of a black cat at Christmas time in Germany ia an omen of alarm- ing illness. The Pennsylvania Dutch believe black cats cure epilepsy. Three drops of a black cut's blood is sold to be a cure for croup. In Scotland they used to cure erysipe- las by cutting off half a cat's ear and letting the blood from the wound drop on the diseased port. In moving in Scotland tbe family cat is thrown into the new bouse )>efore tbe family enters, in order that it may ab- sorb any disease or curse left by former tenants. In Ireland tbe cat must not be taken to the new house by a moving family, especially if water has to l)e crossed. A cat born in May will be of a melan- choly disposition, given to catching snakes and bringing them into tbe house. If the cat sneezes three times the whole family will soon suffer from in- fluenza. In Thibet any person who kills a cat, accidentally or otherwise, will have tbe sins of the cat transferred to him. â- KKb moDey, and a young travelling DOtupanion. Mile. Rolande. They say that in Salt Lake City he was seen with a f«itain Jules, nick-named the Ass.is- sia. because he fled from Paris under tbe suspicion of having done several mtirdors. iiut they say that Chazal bad several cvosnicuous fillings in his teeth, where- as the teeth of tne murdered man are perfectly sound. Tbere are several points about this mystery worth attention. The first is tiut the murdered man must have liecn a person of some consequence. The care with which the murder wua done aad tbe very elaborate and ingenious plan tor preventing discovery mean Lbat the murdered man niu.st have had •doielhing which made it well worth tbe murderer's while to make away iHth him. A murderer of that ability THE "OUT-OF-DATE" COUPLE. We are "so out of date," they say, Ned and I ; We love in an old-fashioned way. Long since gone by. He says I am his helpmate true In everything ; And Iâ€" well, I will own to you He is my king. We met in no romantic way 'Twixt "glow and gloom;" He wooed me on a winter day. And inâ€" a room; Yet, through life's hours of stress and storm. When griefs befell, Love kept our small home corner warm. And all was well. Ned thinks no woman like his wife â€" But let that pass ; Perhaps we view the duel life Through roseate glass; Even if the prospects ba not bright, ^\'e hold it true The heaviest burdens may grow light When shared by two. Upon the gilded scroll of fame, Emblazoneil fair, I cannot hope to read tbe name I proudly l)ear ; But, happy in their even tlovr, The years glide by ; We are behind the times we know â€" Ned and I.

At present be cannot discern objects at a distance of a few feet, and reading is an impossibility. He beard of Nickola Tesla and his wonderful accomplish- ments in electricity, and thought pos- sibly that genius might be able to re- store his sight by the use of electricity in reaching the nerve centre of the eye. He consulted an eye specialist and after the talk with him called on Nick- ola Tesla. Mr. Tesla at once said that be could do nothing for Mr. Rouss as far as his eyesight was concerned, but would give a shock of electricity, which might be of some l)enefit. Mr. Rouss said if be could not get good eyes be was willing to lake anything, so Mr. 'Tesla sent 100,000 volts through Mr. Rouss's body without the latter feeling it. Tesla shared tb'> current with Rouss, who declared beforehand that be did not care to die alone in case of an acci- dent. There is a standing offer of 9100,000 to any person who may restore to Mr. Rouss his eyesight. A "NEW WOMAN" TEACHER. The Maxwell school district in Sodus, N. Y., is stirred up over a row storied by the biggest boy in school. George Hardy, 19, undertook to overawe the teacher, a slender young woman, bare- ly five feet in height, named Maynard. Trouble had existed for some time, but on Monday, Miss Maynard ordered Hardy to her desk. When he refused to come and dared her to touch him she overpowered and thrashed him soundly, despite the fact that he weighed nearly 200 pounds. Hardy seemed cowed, but on the fol- lowing morning he got two other youths named Dunbar and Puiver to help him look the teacher out. Summoning a trustee as a witness. Miss Maynard broke in the door and thrashed all three boys in loss than five minutes, so "Trustee Mason declares. He says their combined weight is 510 pounds and her weight is only 120. She was the crack female athlete at tbe Fredonia Normal School, where she graduated. Tbe district trustees, who are now very proud of her, lielievo that her strength, like Samson's, lies in her hair, which is as red as it can bo. in yellow and tbe stems and leaves in green. HOUSE FURNISHING. We have seen humble homes so taste- fully furnished and so cosy in appear- ance that they were more pleasant than elegantly furnished apartments where money had been lavishly expended, simply because there was a sense of fitness and harmony about them. It was once the prevalent opinion that the decorations of homes cuuld not be accomplished without great expense, and that only those having ample means could afford to gratify a taste in that direction. But of late, people are be- ginning to learn that rooms may be made attractive with very little ex- pense if tbe little things that go so far toward making up tasteful house furn- ishings are carefully considereil. The day when cold, dead white walls, straight-backed chairs, horse-hair cov- erings for furniture and bare mantels were considered elegant, has gone for- ever we hope, and in their place we have articles that cost less and are far more comfortable and graceful. Speaking of old-fasbiuned furniture reminds us that perhaps some of our readers may have one of the heirlooms which our grandmothers styled "set- tees." By removing one of the arm" and cutting off the legs so as to lower it, you have a frame which will do very well for a sofa. A set of old springs fastened to the seat will make it much more comfortable. Place several thick- nesses of old comfort on the springs and cover with cretonne, rep, or any of tbe pretty furniture coverings now In tbe market. Tbe back and iirms should )>e padded, tbe covering securely tacked in place, and tbe edges covered with fur- niture gimp.A ruffle or valance may extend from the seat to the floor, or it will be very nice without it. Another pretty lounge is made of a long, narrow box with castors placed under each corner. Tbe lid is fastened to the box with hinges, and the pad- ding placed upon it. The cover is of blue denim (putting the light side out) and a full ruffle, which reaches the floor, will conceal both ends and the front. A large pillow, also covered with denim, is placed at tbe head. It makes a very comfortable resting place, and tbe box can l>e used to hold the bed clothes that are not in use. A small box covered in tbe same way may serve the double ptirpose of footstool and shoe box. Have any of our readers, in parlor, sitting room or bed room, an unused fireplace ? Perhaps a stove has taken tbe place of the cheerful, open fire that once burned upon the hearth. It may be made an ornament to the room instead of the ugly blank that it is in many houses, by the use of a board screen covered with cloth and decorat- ed with autumn leaves. Have a light wooden frame mado and cover it smoothly with unbleached muslin. Over this, any material, such as satin, China silk, silkolene, sateen or even silesia may be used. Of course, a rich mater- ial produces the best effect, but cheap goods of a pretty color looks better than one would suppose. Cut tbe ma- terial in long strips lialf as wide as the screen. Tack the cloth to the edge of the frame, laying a small pleat every two inches all around. Draw the other edge of the material to the center Oi tbe screen, lay it in large pleats and sew it firmly to the cloth. A bunch of ferns, autumn leaves and grasses, tied with ribbon, is placed over the joining at tbe center ot the screen. If the screen is covered with heavy mater- ial, such as rep or furniture brocade, it is prettier put on plain, and may l)e ornamented with a Ijorder ot autumn leaves that have been waxed or varn- ished, adding a graceful bit ot tern or griiss here and there. Many other ways of decorating these screens might 1)C described if time and space would per- mit. A very handsome Queen Ann table. seen recently at the bouse of a friend, was a triumph of economy and ingen- uity It had formerly l>een a wash- stand with a shelf a foot from tbe flo>/r and a small drawer just below the top. Tbe back and side pieces were removed from tbe top, and all that remained of the old walnut stain and varnish was scoured and sandpapered oft. 'Chen the entire stand received two coats of common white paint and one coat of white enamel. The knob was remov- ed from the drawer, a brass handle put in its place and lines of ^ohl paint were added here and there alout tbe table legs and <lrawer. The on was then finished with a scarf of telt in a dull shade pf blue, with i border across; tbe ends. It made a piece of furniture that Would not have l)een out of place in tbe parlor of a city mansion. Another friend needed a bookcase very much, but the family exchequer was not in a condition to warrant the purchase of a new one. There was an old walnut bereau in the attic, with the mirror broken out and a walnut bedstead that bad long since passed its period of usefulness as a bedstead. As the man of tbe bouse was handy with tools, a little persuasion induced him to undertake the work of making a l)ookcase out of this material. Tbe upright pieces to which the mirror had been fastened were sawed oft, leaving the top of the bureau plain like a table. Pieces ot walnut from the bedstead were f.astened to each end of the bureau, and into these three shelves were fitted. The ornamental top of tbe headboard was removed and used as a cornice for the bookcase. When it was all sand- papered and varnished, and siikoline curtains had been hung in front of the shelves, it was found to be entirely i satisfactory. An old chair that baa a worn-out cane seat may be made almost as gooil as new if the frame is still good.. Get a piece of leather in its natural color or red, green or black. Cut it the size and shape you wish the seat to i)e, and fasten it to tbe chair with brass- headed tacks, setting these alx>ut an inch apart. Or, tack a piece ot closely woven, strong canvas to the seat, put on a little padding ot some kind, and cover with plush, velours or bro- cade. Finish the edges with furniture gimp. If the frame has been cleansed and revarnished, or painted with white enamel, and the work neatly done, the effect can scarcely fail to tie pleasing. HELPFUL HINTS. Knives are often ruined by pressing too hard on the knife-ljoard when clean- ing them in the effort to get out stains. | This may be done more rapidly and | without any fear of spoiling tbem by | simply rubbing them up and down a | tew times with a damp cork dipped in ' emery powder. When the stains have j gone the knives may l)e polished on tbe board; but in can be dis|)«>nsed with al- ' together, if preferred. Another excel- lent plan ia to rub tbe knives with a piece of raw potato dipped in Bath brick- dust. It is perfectly marvelous bow- quickly all stains disappear under this treatment. After frying doughnuts or fritters or anything of that kind, shave off a few slices of pota.toes when you are done with tbe grease and drop them into the sizzling fat. Let them cook an instant, and set on the back ot the stove to cool very slowly. In the course of half an hour remove to a place to cool more ra- pidly, and just liefore the grease gets beyond tbe pouring stage strain through a cloth into a clean jar. You will find that the lard is nearly as sweet as ever, l)eing only a little darker, which lioes not prevent it from frying satLsfactor- ily. Fine carving knives should be treated with the same care as afine razor. They should bo kept in a boi, tray or drawer, by themselves; and on no account should the edge ot a knife be allowed to touch any. hard substance. It goes without saying that they should be kept exclu- sively for the one purpose of carving. ITEMS OF INTEREST. â- MMue Krudiibli- Pliurnurniilii. .lltoul Af* rutr^ llip Wurld Over.
