THE OYSTER CROP RUINED.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, April %, 1s93.-
According to reports received here
today from the various oyster grow
ing districts along the Connecticut coast.
the entire oyster crop was almost
ruined by the severe storm which passed
over Long Island Sound Thursday night
and yesterday morning. The oyster
growers in this city. Milford, Stratford,
Bridgeport, Stamford, Greenwich and
Dariep, all reDort that it was the most
disastrous storm since they have been in
the OYSTER trade.
D. C. Sanford of this city, until recently
the civil engineer OF the State Shell Fish
Commission, estimates the loss at half
million OF dollars. The storm has
been particularly disastrous to the seed
oyster trade, which has been practically
abandoned in many districts. This trade,
which is the most profitable in the busi-
ness, will be an utter failure.

BLACK BODIES AS BOOKS.
Two Corpses Found at the Adams
Express Pier in Boy-Sub-
jects for Medical Students.

A well worn packing box, three feet
broad and two and half feet deep
arrived at the Adams Express Pier at the
foot Of Exchange place. on the Pepnsyl-
vania Railroad Southern Express train at
nine o'clock yesterday morning The
train was two hours late. The box was
labelled " books" at one end and ''glass'
at the otker. The end labelled g lass bore
the inscription ''This side upn 1t was
consigned at Charlottesville, Va. to ''H.
Q. Turner. Burlington. VT" A sickening
odor enfaneted from the box and tainted
the air OF the long broad room. the box
was awaiting trapshipmapt to the Ameri-
can Express Company, which has an
Office at Burlington. Butthe stencil be-
came so strong that Transfer Agent Muir
tangh reported to Acting Agent
Herbert Temple, who ordered that the
box be opened.
A GRUESOME DISCOVERY.
Agent Murtagh removed part of the
top OF the box. Heavy wrapping and
excelsior paper appeared. The odor
became stronger. He pulled back the
body and underneath it another black
corpse. Murtagh dropped the paper and
quickly replaced The cover. The smell
was SO intolerabie that other freight was
removed from the proximity with the
corpse laden box and disinfectants were
sprinkled about it. Acting Agent
Temple reported to the New York Office
and to police headquarters. Detective
Dalton sent the box to Speers morgue
and notified County Physician Converse.
SUBJECTS FOR STUDENTS.
The bodies had been evlscerated and
embalmed. The lower corpse was partly
separated from the other by mapping
paper. There is a medical college at
Charlottesville and the University Of
Vermont, which has a medical depart
ment, is at Burlington. A dispatch from
Charlottesville says that ''the subjects
were intended for the University of Yer
mont, and were shipped from this place
by proper authority for anatomical pur-
poses." A dispatch from Burlington says
that the name d. 9. Turner is probable
fictitious.
The shipment was illegal. The express
company was deceived as to the contents
of the box. Acting Agent Temple says
the law in every State requires that boxes
containing corpSes must be properly la
belled. The company would try hard to
learn who shipped the hodies, and would
prosecute the offender with vigor.
DEATH CERTIFICATES FOUND.
Acting Agent Herbert Temple received
telegram from the Adams Express
Company's Agent at Charlottesville, Va.
to-day saying that he had death certi-
ficates for the bodies in the box and that
he had mailed the certificates. Mr..
Temple said he would submit
the certificates to the Health author
tiles on Monday and if the
authorities so order, and the bodies are
properly boxed the company would for
ward them to Burlington. The company
would Investigate the deception in the
shipping of the bodies, and punish who
ever might be to blame.
