A BODY FouND.-Yesterday morning some
of the section men on the Maine Central found
the body of man in the ditch near the Port.
land street bridge. Marshal Bridges was at
once notified, and he in turn notified Coroner
Gould, who at once took the matter In charge.
The body was brought to this city and jury
summoned to hold an inquest. The man was
about 5 feet inches in height, very powerfully
built, with reddish brown hair, quite closely
cnt and clean shaved. There was a dent over
the right temple, as if the skull had been crush
ed in, whether by fall from the train or by
foul play is for the coroner's jury to decide.
On the body was an account book with black
smithing accounts entered therein, and the
name of F. X. Stone inscribed on one leaf.
Also return ticket to Hallowell, stamped
Thursday. The man was dressed in mixed
gray pants, tan-colored overalls, snuff-colored
coat of coarse cloth, and blue flannel shirt.
His face was covered with dirt as ii he had
been rolled in gravel. The lips were swollen
out of shape and the mouth was covered with
froth. The jury are of the opinion that the
man is Mr.. William B. Stone of South Dover,
where he is said to have family, but how he
came to his death is not yet ascertained. There
are two theories, one of foul play, and the 9th
er of apoplexy. The jury will continue their
investigations today.
The body will remain at the dead house to-
day for Identification.
