BODY FOUND FLOATING IN THE SOUND Unknown Man Was Probably Drown- ed—Body Brought Into New Lon- . don, ‘Thedody of an unknown man about 0 years of°age was picked up In the Sound Friday morning by the govern- ment transport Gen. Nathanael Greene, Wwhich was on the way: to Fishers Is- land from New-<London. The body had evidently been in the water a short time and deathiwas no doubt caused by drowning,, as:there were no marks of -violence on -the body, except a slight. abrasion on the.forehead, which could.not have-caused death. The, Nathanael Greene was only a short @istance .outside of New London | barbor :when a member of the boat crew.saw thesbody floating a short dis- tanceraway. A boat was lowered and the body lifted aboard the transport. The Greene proceeded to the islands and.returned to New London at 12.30 with: the body. Medical Examiner Harry M. Lee was notified as soon as the transport ar- rived at Fishers Island and on its ar- rival in this city he ordered the body removed to undertaking Tooms. At the undertaking rooms an exam- ination was made of the body, but there were no signs of violence to in- dicate.foul play. There was a slight bruise over the right ele, but it is thought that this was caused by the head bumping into some object in the water while floating around after death. There was not a sign of de- composttion, indicating that the body had been in the water only a short time, probably less than 24 hours. The' man wore & black Serge coat ‘and trousers. and no vest, low patent leather-shoes, wWhich had been recently tapped and heeled; an outside soft shirt, white with lavender stripes. The shirt bore the name of the Jordan & Marsh Co.. Boston, and the same name was found 4n thesshoes. The name of Alfred_Benjamin -maker, was _on_the coat. He had on a suit of B. V. D. underwear. One dollar and 30 cénts in changefand a fountain pen were foung in the clothing, but nothing was _discovered-which would lead to identification. The hair of<the ;shead was black, sprinkled with gray‘and the head was nearly bald. The man had a short stubby moustache. The clothing and general appearance of the body showed the man to have been respectable and not a tramp. das Mid-Summer; Sale i—OF—/" ‘concn HAMMOCKS GO-CARTS;AND For a short time only we offer great money-saving bargainssof the above mentioned articles which-are to- day in use in almost every part of the country. - These just what is wanted.during the warm weather. _ & come in and:look:them over.

In the recent death of Dr. W. S. C. Perkins, Norwich council, No. 724 lost the first member on its charter list of 19 men who formed the council 33 years ago. Dr. Perkins had also filled the place of medical examiner 30,000 VOICES And Many Are The Voices of Norwich - People. o e—— Thirty thousand voices—What a grand chorus!’ And that's the number of American men and women, who are publicly praising Doan’s Kidney Pills for rellef from backache, kidney and bladder {lls.gThey say it to friends. They tell ft in the home papers. Norwich people are in this chorus. Here’s a Norwich.case: Mrs. Jared -Hewitt, Palmer-St.,, Nor- Norwich grange, No. 172, obligated two in the first and second degrees and two in the third and fourth degrees at its meeting Wednesday evening in Pythian hall, where Worthy Master E. C. Jewett presided. Decision was reached to change the date of the outing to_Atlantic beach from Wednesday to Friday of next week and the tickets for distribution among the members were placed in the hands of C. A. Hagberg, chairman of the committee. It is expected to make the picnic and outing as big a success as the one that was held last year at the same place. In the lecturer's hour, Mrs. Frank W. Barber introduced Dr. Laura Hills of Willimantic, who read a very inter- esting paper upon the subject of bet- ter babies. She said it was not so much race suicide that was to blame for a dearth of babies—not so much the lack of births that need cause concern as the mortality in the first vear of life. There is a vast field for preventive health measures among children for one-fifth of all the deaths are of children in the first five years and fully half of these Were pre- ventible. She spoke of what had been ac- complished in New York through milk stations and through inspection in schools. In improving the health of the child you improve the health of a generation, Dr. Hills spoke instructively upon the subjects of feeding, clothing and bathing for babies and concluded that in lowering mortality we shall reduce in a great degree the weakened and defective children of later years. She was given a vote of thanks for her talk. Lecturer Frank T. Maples, who had been the grange's delegate to a con- vention of New England lecturers, held at Durham, New Hampshire, gave a fine report from the conventlon. The grange also decided to have a New York lecturer come here to give public address in the town hall in line with the subject of better bables. The date has not been fixed, but it will be sometime before the county fair. WOMAN’S RELIEF CORPS.
