Jan. 29.?The body of an unknown white mat was found mi a box car in tin Southern yards yesterday morninj Mr. E. i> Atkinson, an employe at the Southern freight depot was engaged in checking up tin bales of cotton left in the bo: cars of second section of freigli iNo. 74, which was discovered 01 fire in I he Southern yards, a fev nights ago, and 52 hales of whicl were damaged. The remaining 45 hales were being taken fron the smoked and scorched car, am were being placed into anothei car, when Mr. Atkinson and hii colored assistant were startled b\ the appearance of a man's bod, in upright posture, falling for ward, as they removed a cottoi Oale from its position. The core ner was notified and the inques was held. Little testimony wa adduced, and there was no elm as to the identity of the deceased The general presumption is tha lie was a Syrian or Italian of tin laboring classes, and that he crep into the box car at Meridian. Miss where the cotton was loaded aiu shipped lor Gastonia, N. C. Ii his pocket was found 20 cents, ii the very smallest denomination: of currency. No letters or pa pers were lound on his person save a receipt from a local expresi ollice in New York city, and 01 this paper was the address k'Aus tell, Ga." What pui ported to hi the name of tne person to wlion the receipt was issued was unin telliuible to ail the spectators am to the coroner. Had the churac ters been Chinese or Sanskrit i would have been us easy to de cipher. The man appeared to b< about 35 years of aire, he wa comfortably dressed, but not neat ly; and was powerfully builf; hi muscular development was super! and he had evidently been uset to hard manual work or training ilts complexion was somewha olive or dark, as is the case wit I Syrians. His hair was black an< curly, his lips large and his fea lures irregular, llis death wa evidently due to strangulation When the cotton begun burning the close, compact quarters wen soon filled with smoke, and i was doubtless in a futile, Irantu effort to escape that caused hin to become wedged between twi bales ot cotton and suffocated.
