The Narragansett,s Dead.

A ColOred Mans Body in the Walters
 RoOm-Buried at Noank-Another
 Drowning Case.
 A body of 0 colored man was found in the walters room of the steamer Narragansett Thursday afternoon. The door of the room was fastened and was burst open with much difficulty. An inquest was held and yer dict of drowned was rendered The remains were buried in the Noank Valley cemetery. On the body were knit undershirt and col ored woolen trowsers A two dollar bi1l small quantity of silver, two door keys and fancy watch key were found in the pockets of the clothing
 A body was discovered floating in the wa ter near North Hummock, Friday morning, and lowed to Noank, where verdict of acci- dental drowning was given by a coroner's jury. The man was about 45 years old, feet inches high, dark hair and smooth face. On his person were found wallet containing a small key and an empty calfskin leather pocketbook, a steamboat ticket (No 6, 367 and berth 212) dated June 18th, 1880, two b1aded jackknife, a salesman's card of the Old South Clothing Company, Washington street, Boston, and a bill of fare of R. Hain & Company, dining rooms, Portland street, Boston, Mass.
 A dispatch from Noank states that seven bodies were found in the hull of the Nara gansett when at Oyster Bay, and only one since the arrival at Noank. It will take three months to rebuild the Narragansett.
 When the steamer was first drawn up the accumulation of decomposing matter in the hold and cabin was such that the work of those on board was absolutely sickening. It is not believed that any number of bodies is yet to be found, but the decay of the provi- sions and the natural odor arising from fur niture and fittings that had been soaked and then exposed to the air made a noisome at mosphere.
