Newark, N. J., Jan. 14.-Delmonaco's body was found in the Orange Mountains, in the woods, near Gen. McClelland's Summer House, at 10 o'clock this morning, by two boys. There were no marks of violence on the body. He died from exposure. Nothing is missing from his body.
Newark, Jan. 14.--Delmonico probably died Jan. 6. About 2 o'clock that morning John Dieffenthal, who works for a farmer on Orange Mountain, while driving from Montclair to Orange, saw a man leaning wearily against the fence. He was at the junction of the road leading from Orange to Montclair. It is certain now that it was Delmonico. He hailed Dieffenthal and begged shelter. The farmer said the speech of the wayfarer was so thick he could scarcely understand him. Delmonico's speech had been thick since his trouble came on. The night was bitter cold, but the farmer was afraid of tramps, and instead of taking the man into the wagon drove on, after directing him to Orange, a mile distant. The wanderings of the unfortunate man from this point can only be conjectured. Probably he went aimlessly along the road on the mountain until overcome by cold, and he lay down and was frozen to death.
