Barnum's Body To Be Cremated

Bridgepoet, Conn., June 2. - Benjamiu Fish, treasurer of the Bamum & Bailey show, and cousin of Mrs. Barnum, is quoted as saying: "I have just left Mrs. Barnum, and we have decided that the best thing that we can do is to have Mr. Barnum's body exhumed and cremated. That was his wish, and such a disposition would have been made of the remains but for the opposition of members of the fainily. We will communicate at once with the relatives, and endeavor in every possible way to secure their consent." The reason of the determination is the attemt last week to steal the body of the great showman.
