The body of an unknown man was found beside the New York Central's elevated tracks, near Allen street, early yesterday morning. The man had evidently fallen from a freight train in the night and been instantly killed. His skull was broken and the body was bruised. He had been dead fully four hours when discovered. Last night the body was identified as that of John LENNON, of Pawtucket. Coroner KILLIP was notified of the finding of the body and caused its removal to the morgue. Last night Owen QUINN, of Pawtucket; identified the body as that of LENNON. He said he and LENNON first met in the city about two weeks ago, and, being from the same city, they naturally exchanged confidences. He said LENNON was a repairer of jewelry, and when he failed to obtain work in that line he turned to painting signs. QUINN said he was with LENNON on Wednesday and that LENNON told him he had about decided to "beat it" out of Rochester. Coroner KILLIP wired Pawtucket last night. It is believed that the man either fell from a freight train or was killed in trying to board one.
