A Court Mystery.

For some time past extensive altera-
tions have been going on in the drain
age of Hampton Court Palace, for which
it has been necessary to take up the
pavement of some of the old courts
On Wednesday some of the men en-
gagged in the work discovered two hu-
man skeletons lying within a short dis
tance Of the surface. The bones which
are those of two male adults, are in
good preservation, considering it is es-
timated that they have been buried not
less than $50 or 200 years The part of
the palace in which they have been
found, however, was rebuilt by Sir
Christopher Wren about the year 1890,
and had these bones been in their pres.
ent position at that time they must
have been disturbed in the progress of
the work. After the rebuilding of the
palace it was occupied by William lit.
and Mary, who frequently made this
the residence Of their court. Indeed,
it was, as is we'll known, at Hampton
Court that King William met with the
accident that caused his death in 1902.
It seems reasonable, therefore, to haz.
ard the conjecture that the skeletons
date from about this period That the
interment, whenever it took place, was
performed secretly and hastily is evi-
dent from the position in which the
skeletons we're found, as we'll as from
the fact of lime having been used to
hasten the decomposition of the bodies.

Remarkable Flight Of Carrier Pigeons.
From the Newark Courier, Nov. 10.

We noticed short time ago the Won
derful flight of the carrier-pigeon
Tempest. We have now to record the
still more extraordinary time Of two
other birds sent home. The following
notes were found on them on their ar
rival:
"DEAR FATHER September Is, 1871,
latitude 27 degrees TO- north, longi-
tude 70 degrees 80 west, 1,0N statute
miles from Montclair, N. il will
let the mail bird Tornado go with this
note at exactly 9 o'clock in the morn
ing, New York time. I let tho bird
Tempest go on the 10th. She rose up
about five hundred yards high, and
then made one tremendous plunge to
the north, and was out of sight about
as quick as fash of lightning.
II. G. BLEEKER.
"DEAR FATHER-November 81, 1871,
latitude 26o north, longitude go 5
minutes west, 1886 statute miles from
Montclair, N. J. I will let the old bird
Typhoon go with this note at exactly
8 O'Clock, in the forenoon, New York
time. He is a powerful bird, but he
has fearful job on hand. He must
go through it or perish. All we'll.
"HARRY G. B1EECKER."
The bird Tornado arrived at Mont
clair the same day, at seven minutes
past 2 o'clock in the afternoon, making
over one hundred and ninety-six miles
an hour. Typhoon arrived the same
day, at ffty-fonr minutes past o'clock
in the afternoon, and fell dead on his
arrival, but he brought the note in the
unprecedented time of two hundred and
two miles an hour.

Field Marshal Benedek,

General Field Marshal Benedek died
suddenly of an apoplectic attack last
month ut Vienna He was born in
1904 at Odenburg, in Hungary. He
entered the Austrian army as a cornet
in 1922, and attained the rank of colon
el in 1943. Two years later he exhibi.
ted great military talents during the
insurrection in Galieia. He took part
in the memorable campaign of 1848 in
Italy, under -:Radetzky, distinguishing
himself at the battle of Curtatone, for
which he received the order of Maria
Theresa. During the war OF Italian in
dependence, 1859, he was one Of the
few Austrian generals who showed some
military capacity. At the battle of
Solfcrino he commanded the left wing
Of the army, which was the last to
leave the field. He was Governor of
Hungary for few months in 1860, and
was soon appointed to the chief COM
mand of the Austrian army in Italy.
During the war between Austria and
Prussia in 1866 General Benedek was
from May 5th in command of the
North. At Sadowa, July Sd, the forces
under his command were defeated.
General Benedek was soon after super
seded by the Archduke Albert, and in
October, 1866, he was put on the retir-
ed list.
