EVIDENCE OF A MURDER.

Foul Crime Has lM-obably Keen Ferpetrateil in a Boxcar. TOLEDO, March 26.—What is taken to be evidence of a brutal murder was dissovered in a Baltimore and Ohio boxcar that reached here over the Michigan Central from Detroit Sunday morning, When the car was opened there was a pool of blood in the center, besides which were a number of,.bloody stones, which had been used as weapons, presumably upon the head of the unfortunate victim. The sides of the car and even the. roof were bespattered with blood, and a bloody collar and necktie, near the scene of the struggle, had probably been wrenched from the throat of the victim during his struggles.

As nearly as could be judged from the marks and tracks inside the car, the victim had been assailed by two men. He had been thrown down and beaten within a few feet of the side door, and after being killed or reduced to insensibility, lus body had been dragged to tne door. Prints of bloody lingers showed that this nad been opened and then the victim thrown our. The door had been closed from the inside, at'rer whieli the two occupants of the car had made their exit by the opposite emranee.
