BODY J, RECOVERED. ;I,,j

The body Of Calvin Tuttle, who COM
mitted suicide on Monday night by jump
ing into the Christiana creek from Mar
ket street bridge, was discovered yester-
day afternoon about o'clock. A
About the time mentioned above, Err
nest Henderson, Edward Henderson and
Joseph Clymer were rowing up the creek
and at Harlan's shpyard they noticed
dark object floating on the water, and,
upon rowing up to it, they discovered
that 1t was the body of drowned man.
After securing it they sent word to the
Coroner, who, upon arriving at the place
took charge of the body and had it re-
moved to the undertaking establishment
of D. Fox. After arriving at the estab-
lishment, the pockets of the deceased
were searched and several letters were
found, some of them being from his sis
ter, and the others from the young lady
in Jacksonville, ILL.,, and duplit ate letters
written by him to her. Three photo
graphs were also found, two of them be-
ing of himself, and the third that of the
young lady over whom he committed the
rash deed of taking his own life.
The Coroner summoned a jury, and at
$50 last evening held an inquest over
the body. After all uhe evidence had
been taken, the jury, after mature delib-
GRAFTON, rendered the very intelligent ver-
dict of "death from causes unknown to
the jury"
The coroner has telegraphed to his sis
ter, who resides at Newton Centre, Mass.
and also to his uncle in Boston, as to the
disposition of the body. The body was
very much swollen and discolored, SO
much so that it is almost impossible to
recognize it. The Coroner will await
word from those to whom he has tele.
graphed before burying the body.
