A Young Man Found Dead on I'll

A Young Man Found Dead on the
Street Last Night.
BRIDGEPORT, September 24.-About
1890 o'clock last night as Hugh Smith
and William Casey were standing on the
corner of Lumber and Main streets they
noticed young man fall down the EN-,
bankment in the rear of the saloon at
that point. They hurriedly went down
to the place and found it to- be the
young man who had only a short time
previous gone down the street. He was
lying on his back with froth coming out
of his mouth. He was suffering great
pain. They fastened to Driscolrs store
and telephoned for the ambulance.
When the ambulance arrived the man
was dead.
The body was viewed by great many
but no one seemed able to identify the
remains. The man was poorly dressed
and wore lace shoes, a blue striped
flannel shirt and soft blue hat. In his
pants pocket was found small purse
containing two small keys. He was
about 5 feet 6 inches in height and ap-
parently 30 years of age. He had his
hair cut rather close in pompadour
style and his face is clean shaven.
This morning the body was identified
as that of James Clancy, aged 10, a
a young man who lived on Housatonic
avenue. He was subject to epileptic
fits, which caused his death.

BURIAL PERMITS.

Instructions Concerning Them IN
the state Health Bulletin.
In the bulletin just issued by the state
hoard of health is the following:
The superintendent of registration of
vital statistics receives many letters of
inquiry asking in effect the following
question Does removal permit
authorize the burial of deceased person
without burial permit from the regis
trar of the town in which the burial
occurs? For example: If a person dies
in Litchfield and the registrar of Itch
field issues a permit for the removal of
the body to Old Saybrook for burial,
does it require a burial permit from the
registrar of Old Saybrook to bury the
body ? The answer is, yes, it does.
The statute seems very plain and clear
on such a case. 1t reads: mo deceased
person shall be buried in any town until
burial permit y has been given by
the registrar. See Section 106, Gen
eral Statutes.
The operation of this law was, however,
modified by an act of the general assem-
bly, of 1899, which relieves certain GENE
teries from the necessity of procuring a
burial permit, if the body is accom-
panied by ga certificate of the registrar
of the town in which the person died"
The superintendent of registration of
vital STATISTICS Is nOI So wen IIlOIluSu
respecting the ownership and manage
ment of cemeteries..that he knows which
or how many cemeteries in Connecticut
enjoy this peculiar and special privilege
of receiving bodies for burial without a
burial permit from the registrar of the
town in which they are located.
Registrars of towns will need to &C
quire this information about the owner
ship and management of cemeteries in
their own localities and govern them
selves accordingly.
1t has long been the opinion of the
superintendent, that the removal permit
should also authorize the burial in any
cemetery in the state. The certificate
of death returned to the registrar of the
town in which the death occurred sup
plies all the necessities of a record, anC
it seems TO be imposing an unnecessary
burden to require the removal permit
to be exchanged for a ''burial permit
in another town. Another effort will b'
made with the next legislature to bring
about that modification of the law. Thu
attempt failed with the last legislature.

HORRIBLE DISCOVERY.
Decomposed Body of n Man Found In
n New Haven Hotel

Decomposed Body OF Man Found in
New Haven Hotel.
NEW HAVEN, September 24.-At 1890
o'clock this morning a man named
Frank N. Chapman approached Officer
McGrath, at the corner of Chapel street
and told him that he feared something
was wrong, as he was unable to get
into his friends room at the Merchnnts'
hotel on State street. The officer went
with Chapman to the hotel and found
the door securely fastened on the in
side. 1t was forced in and the
spectacle presented was horrible one.
Lying on the bed partly covered by the
clothes was the horribly decomposed
body of William Young. Portions of
the flesh had fallen away and
the man must have been dead for
three weeks. The coroner was notified,
Young was last seen over three weeks
ago. He was feeling unwell and death
probably resulted from neglect. He was
fifty years of age and unmarried. The
Merchants hotel is a cheap resort. How
the body could remain so long in the
room without being discovered is not
explained.
