Corn has also acted stubborn today. The
rain will likely check receipts some. while
the local shipping demand continues and
we think November corn can be bought
while the May option, which is more freely
traded in, will likely follow suit.
Oats firm: A decrease Of $4,000 bushels

Shockinglx Mangled.

The body of Benjamin Fermsn, horribly
mangIed, was found yesterday morning be-
side the tracks of the Northampton road at
the Bassett street crossing, New Haven.
The trainmen on a freight which passed
the spot at 6:a5 in the morning were the
first to discover the remains, which we're
scattered along the track for distance of
about 500 feet The body was cut up be-
yond recognition, the head being partially
severed from the body and the legs and
arms also being amputated. 1t is believed
that Fermsn was struck by the cara at the
Bassett street crossing and that his body
was carried by the train to where 1t was
found, thus accounting for it's mangled
condition. At the crossing q shoe was
found which corresponds to the one found
on one of the limbs severed and picked up
some distance from where the trunk of the
body was discovered. From this fact
arises the belief that the man was struck
while endeavoring to cross the track on
his way home. Watson street, where the
dead man resided, runs north from Bassett
street, and it is believed the man was on
his way home some time last night from
down town when he met his death. Fer
man has for some time been employed In
Meriden at the Parker gun factory and
went to and fro daily. He had not been
home all night and his wife, to whom the
startling news was conveyed soon after the
body was found, was at loss to account
for his being struck by the care.
What train struck him is not known,
but it is believed that it was one of the
trains going north before midnight.
From papers found on the body of the
dead man it was ascertained that he was
Benjamin Ferman, mechanic, residence
at 80 Watson street. He formerly worked
at the Winchester gun shop, of late he had

den. Medical Examiner White had the re-
mains taken to the morgue at Lewis &
