BODY OF UNKNOWN
MAN DISCOVERED
Found in Shanty Near Salmon Hole
Bridge Yesterday Morning-Had
Been Dead Evidently Several
Days-Was from Andover.

The body of an unknown man was found
about 10 o'clock yesterday morning in q
shanty on the West River railroad about
half mile above Salmon Hole bridge in
the town of Townshend. The discovery
was made by Fred Smith of Newfane, a
section foreman, who went to the building
to get some tools. The body was lying on
it's back with one hand doubled under
meath. Death had evidently taken place
two or three days previous for the body
was frozen stiff, and there were no tracks
in the snow which fell Sunday night. The
victim was apparently man about, go
100 pounds. He had long white hair and
white beard and mustache. Apparently
the man had been taken with heart trou-
BILE and had made an attempt to loosen
his shirt to ease his breathing. Three
coats which evidently had been hastily
thrown off were found near the body,
which was clad in cheap shirt and two
pairs of cotton trousers. One stocking
and one shoe had also been removed.
As soon as the discovery was made Mr.:
Smith reported it to the authorities of
Townshend, and the body was viewed by
Selectman Thaddeus Wheeler and DR.. G.
day afternoon it was removed to Towns
hend and placed in the tomb where it will
remain for time in the hope that iden-
tity may be established. DR.. Gale is of
the opinion that death was due to heart
failure, for in addition to the circum-
stances there was apparent slight swell
ing of the left side Of the chest.
While no one in Townshend or New
fame seems to have seen the man previous
to his death it is generally believed that
he formerly lived in Andover and was at
one time supported by the town.

NEW YORK STOCK

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-The most important
event in the financial district today was the
failure of prominent commission house,
1vbova onerations are believed to have been
is-ee1v responsible for last Saturdays sensa-
tIo5ai stock market. In banking circles it was
saIt that the failure would go far toward clear
9nr fhe rnurky atmosphere and restoring con-
5dsnca among investors who have been fight
inn shy recently. Business on the stock ex-
cbenee became unsettled and feverish after
fha announcement of the failure and remained
SO for the balance of the day. American
fsmelting, which has stood the brunt OF the
recent selling, fell most sharply and material
declines were sustained by most of the active
issues. There continues to be much confiict
of opinion as to whether OF not industrial and
mercantile conditions show genuine improve
Inent While the movement in grain is still
much below that of last year, railroad author

the railroads look for greater increase be-
fore the beginning OF the new year. There
were the usual rumors regarding southern

The market was we'll supplied with an
kinds of grapes selling at 400 s0c The
fruit market was rather dull. Citrus frult

for the next ten days except that which Is
