TRACKMAN'S CHASTITY FIND.
Badly Mangled Body of u Man Found
Lying on the Elevated Road.

New York. Dec. 16.-James Gully. a
trackman on the Ninth avenue elevat-
ed railroad, was killed by train early
this morning. His body was cut to
pieces. The remains were all picked up
except the face. This was missing. A
fireman subsequently found 1t. He
thought 1t was that of a man who had
got drunk and had been covered by
the snow. His instant thought was to
aid the man to get up. He stopped
down. to grasp the mans face. To
his horror there was no head. There
was nothing but the face. The eyes
were missing. the scalp, nose and chin
were intact.
He turned the CHASTITY find over to
the police. The mans face had been
cut Off from the head by a wheel of the
engine that passed over him. 1t Is
supposed the binding snow storm pre-
vented Gully from seeing the train until
too late.
