FLESH EATEN BY TURTLES.
Tsody Of Unknown Man Found in the River
Near Bratntree.

South Braintree, Mass, June S.-The
authorities of this district are greatly
puzzled over the discovery this morning
OF body of man in a brook near the
source of the Mantiquot river, here. The
medical examiner is of the opinion that
the man met his death by drowning, but
the police do not agree with him. The
body was found in the middle of the
brook, which runs under Union street
bridge The front and side of the face had
been badly cut and several gashes were
found on the back Of the neck. A large
cut extended from the right eye to the
upper jaw, making complete fracture.
Turtles of the brook, also had eaten
away the flesh, making the body of most
unsightly appearance. The body is that
of an unknown man, about 55 years of
age, weighing $50 pounds, and five feet
and half in heirht. The hair was gray
and the head very hald. Several handker-
chiefs were found. One was marked ''H .
A Hawley.'' 1t is thought that the
ha ldkcrchiefs were stolen from the yard
of Henry A. Hawley.
The police think the dead man might
b a tramp. The police made an exanina-
on of the Union street bridge from
which it is believed the man fell They
found two blood spots on the railing next
to the place where the body was found.
On the bottom board of the railing there
are several distinct imprints of shoes.
which look as if a struggle of some sort
Md recently taken place.

FORTHE DEFENDANT.
Verdict in Suit Growing Out of Belfast
Sarsaparilla.

A verdict for the defendant in the case
of Charles A. West, local wholesale
druggist against Gustavus G. Kilgore,
of Belfast, Me-, was returned in the
United States circuit court in Boston
Monday, by order Of Judge Brown The
action was brought to recover S25. 900
damages for alleged deceit or breach of
contract. The precise amount which the
plaintiff sought to recover was $40, 900.
He based his action upon alleged false
representations made py the defendant
regarding the selling price and the value
of stock in the Dana Sarsaparilla Com
pany, which induced the plaintiff to buy
1C3 shares from him at $1400 per share
The transaction took place in 1892, when
the plaintiff, George A. Bruce and James
i. Whitney. bought out the company
from the defendant, who held an option
on the company's stock.
The false representations which the
plaintiff alleged the defendant made were
that he told the plaintiff that Whitney
had bodght 80 shares of the stock, and
had paid $1400, the Same price per share
which he was being asked to pay Kilgore
for what he wanted to buy, and that none
Of the stock would be sold for less sum.
The plaintiff Z, said the fact was, as he
learned after he purchased 103 shares at
s14oo per share, that Whitney paid only
$1,000 per share for the stock he bought
from the defendant.
The plaintiff sued to recover damages
at the rate of 5000 per share, or the differ
ence in price which he paid over what the
defendant stated Whitney had paid for
his stock per share.
The case will probably be taken to the
circuit court of appeals on law questions.

tiff; L. d. Brandels and E. R. Thayer

Strikers Become Bossterous.

New York, June 8.-Not since the COM
Jnenceaent of the tailors' strike, nearly
I ur weeks ago did the striking tailors
exhibit such a boisterous disposition as
that which marked their every move to-
day. Inspired with new ideas inaugurated
at last nights meeting in Cooper Union,
committees armed with authority from
the Brotherhood of Tailors, started out
4ais morning to call out all non-union
men employed in shops where the proprie-
tors have up to the present ignored the
settlement committee and dictates of the
leaders.
The first place visited was that of a
contractor named Rothenberg. Rothen-
berg protested against the interference of
the committee and sent for the police
Before the arrival of the latter, twenty
five non-union men, all of Rothenberg' S
employees, were induced to quit work an
leave the building.
A fight between Rothenberg and the
wicket followed which resulted in slightly
i9juring the latter and the arrest of the
3jrmer.
The committee then called on Contrac
tor Book at 40 Attorney street and
lessened his force of work men by twenty
five. visit was afterward paid to No.
275 Delaney street, double decker
sweat shop. When going up stairs some
body shouted out fire" and the house
was soon in an uproar.
The cries of an aged operator who ap-
peared at the fifth story window told the
crowd that one of the girl operators en-
ployed there had tainted from fright.
StiInulants were sec ured and she soon re-
covered.
Here the pickets discovered Contractors
Morris and Hyman engaged in making of
children's jackets with full force of nom
union men. In obedience to the order of
the DISCRIMINATING party, twenty operators
left their benches and went to the rem
devious of the striking tailors at Walhalla
hall. Many other non-union places were
visited and the men called out
A mob of five hundred men attacked
Louis Stuebeck, a sweat shop proprietor,
alleging that he defrauded his employees
of their wages. He drew revolver, which
kept the crowd at bay until he was
rescued by policeman.
According to the striker bulletin issued
early today at Walhalla hall over 5000 coat
taiiors and 1900 children S jacket makers
resumed work this morning under condi
tons stipulated by the Brotherhood of
Tailors.
