AN INDIAN BURIAL PLACE.
Curious Relics Found I'm the Graves Of
Aborigines in West Virginia.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAB:
About ten days ago again visited the Indian
graves near Romney, W. Va. It seems that
ashes played an important part in the burial
ceremony, as found from half q peck to five
bushels Of ashes in each grave. The method
of burial, SO far as can judge from careful ex-
animation, was as follows: They dug or
scooped out a hole from to feet deep by
feet wide and feet long in the hard, stiff clay,
which underlies covering of feet Of soft,
sandy loan. These holes were filed with
ashes and cinders, among which were parts OF
the skull and horns of deer and bones Of other
animals, though they showed no signs Of being
burned or charred. On top of these ashes the
body was placed and then covered with the
sandy loan.
At the bottom of one of these graves we
found pot made of clay, about % inches in
diameter by inches deep. the sides of which
were OF elaborate ornamentation. the principal
being a carved face about every inches around
the top. In the pot was the upper shell of d
turtle, jaw bone of squirrel and several clam
shells--evidences of food placed in the grave
for use in the journey to 'the happy hunting
grounds"
The pottery consisted Of three kinds-yeilow,
brown and black. The first was for common
use, with but little ornamentation; the second
was ornamented to some extent, but the last
was the Royal Worcester of Indian art produc-
ton, and was, without doubt, placed in the
graves Of those only who were greatly distin-
guished.
Among the articles found was knife made
of copper roughly beaten out The blade was
five inches long by one and a-quarter inches
broad, and its dull sandstone-sharpened edge
must have required strong muscular exertion
on the part of the operator to remove the scalp
of his dead enemy.
The graves are scattered over space of
about 10 acres, and are on what is called the
Island farm, which consists of about 80 acres.
The owner thinks the entire island was bury
ing ground. T. c. HoMILLER.

sighted at not being served, walked some dis
lance from the tree and then started back on a

it until suddenly he found himself stretched on
the ground beneath the apple tree

Serious Assault on a Wife.

R. W. Smith is the name OF q man who was
locked up at the first precinct station Saturday
night. The prisoner lived with his wife and
child in rooms at No. s03 D street northwest.
He recently found fault with his wife about
her daughter, and Saturday morning he took
the girl to an institution in Baltimore. Upon
his return his wife complained of his actions
and said she wanted to see policeman to in
quire about his right to take the child away.
Mr.. Smith, to accommodate his wife, called at
the police station for an officer. He was in
formed that policemen did not interfere with
domestic troubles of that kind and he returned
to his home. At that time Smith appeared to
be under the influence of liquor. Last night
their trouble was renewed, and Smith and his
wife were picked Up at the bottom Of the steps.
Policeman Barney arrested Smith. His wife
was found to have boon seriously injured. Her
collar bone was broken and she was otherwise
badly bruised. She was taken to the Emer-
gency hospital, where her injuries were dressed.
Her husband was locked up. To-day in the
Police Court the case was continued to await
the result of Mrs. Smiths injuries,

DOWNED BY THE INFANTS.
The Senator'S Run of Luck Broken on
Saturday.

The Senators broke their record on Satur-
day, and instead of making the game the sixth
successive victory they were obliged to sue
cumb to Clevelands more potent luck, and the
game went to the Infants by the score of to 4.
The game was sufficiently exciting to bring
forth all the power of the 1900 throats present,
and in the ninth inning when the home team
made gallant squirt and failed to tie the score
only by a scratch, the interest rose to fever
heat. The batteries for the day were ODay
and DAILY and Beatin and Sutcliffe.
To O'Days wildness may very properly be at
tributed the defeat of the Statesmen, for he
gave five bases ON balls-two of which were
falkland pitched one ball SO wildly that a
run resulted. The only errors of the home
team, tumble by Mack and a muff by Hoy,
were each made at the worst time and Cleve-
land took great advantage from them. The
local scores were made by good hitting, and in
the ninth streak of batting brought in two
runs and almost another. The third, however,
was made fraction of a second too late to
count. Washington made hits and errors,
and Cleveland hits and errors.
OTHER SATURDAY GAMES.
Chicago took advantage of Boston's loose
fielding and won from the Bean-eaters by the
score of to o. Gumbert and Farrell, and
GARRISON and CAMEL were the batteries. Bos-
ton made hits and errors and Chicago hits
and no errors.
Philadelphia took two games from Pittsburg.
The first score TO 3, ten innings. The
batteries were Bufinton and Clements, and
Staley and Miller. Pittsburg made 8 hits and
errors and Philadelphia 10 hits and 3 errors.
The second game was another Waterloo, 16 to
1, Philadelphia having the contest all to her
self. Calvin and Miller and Sanders and
Schriver were the batteries. The Phillies made
81 hits and error and the Burgers hits and
errors.
New York played perfect ball and scalped the
Indians to 3. The points we're occupied by
Rusie and Myers and WEIGH and Ewing. The

DANCING DISCUSSED.
The Senate Of Georgia Says That the
Christian Pulpit is Against 1t.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Senator McCarty arose to speak.
81 agree with the amendment" (forbidding
dancing in the celebration at the completion of
the state capitoD, said he. ''Since this has
been agitated letters have come to me from
strangers, asking that the senate of Georgia
commit itself not to the ball 1t has come from
Christian people. 1t is the strength of the
churches that is exerted in this land to prevent
dancing. Every church in the land stands up
against it. The issue was tried in church in
Atlanta years ago, and great confusion resulted
from it. am not prepared to say that great
many elegant people do not dance, but when
you go down to the solid church people of
Georgia they don't approve of it. Why should
we turn the capitol over to these frivolities?
l have a letter from Christian woman
at Albany, a stranger to me, but know
from her letter that she is q Christian woman
and she protests against this use of the capitol
What minister in the state Of Georgia would
vote against that amendment? They are en-
deavoring to pull the churches up to what they
conceive to be correct Christian sentiment, and
here we are invited by resolution to turn the
capitol over to that which every pulpit, when
ever occasion offers, is speaking against, and
sincerely against
Then Mr. Johnson the gallant young Sena-
tor from Columbus, took a hand: .'Is not the
capitol large enough to let those who wish to
dance stay at this end, and those who do not
wish to dance stay in that end?"
II do not believe it is right to turn the CAPT.
tol Of Georgia over to have a ball How many
ministers of Atlanta who are striving to sup
port the principles of religion it is in the
Lord Jesus Christ would come here and take
part in it? And say their standard and the
sentiments cherished by them are better than
that of any one else, and don't mean any re-
Election socially on any one else. l say that
the churches have spoken against this all over
Georgia, and it is time the senate should
speak"

Sir Julian Pleased with WASHINGTON

Sir Julian Pleased with Washington
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British minister,
who, accompanied by Mr.. Edwardes, secretary
Of legation, sailed for Europe Saturday said to
a reporter before he left: II shall remain
abroad, think, until October 2, when my wife
and four daughters will accompany me to
Washington" Sir Julian added that he was
delighted with Washington and the life which he
had led here. The city he considered ideal and
SURPRISING in beauty many Of the capitals of
the continent. He was particularly struck with
the great intelligence of the masses, and attrib-
uted it to the excellence of the public schools.
The lower classes especially he believed to be
much more intelligent than their colleagues
over the sea. He had always found them polite
and ready to answer any question which a
stranger asked them. Sir Julian declared that
he had not suffered from the Washington heat
to any great degree and that his general
health had been excellent He had gained
somewhat in flesh during his short stay here.
He expects an interesting season during the
coming winter and feels that Lady Pauncefote
and his daughters, only one Of whom has made
her debut in society, will be equally pleased
with the national capital and its people,

MAJOR RAYMOND VOTED NO.
He Disapproved the Washington Asylum
Board of Visitors.

The order recently published in TIE STAl
appointing board of visitors to inquire into
the management Of the Washington asylum, il
has been found, did not receive the sanction OF
the Engineer Commissioner. It was generally
known that he was in favor of the appoint
ment Of q board of visitors, but why he did not
approve the action of the majority Of the board
caused some speculation. It has since been de-
veloped that he was not in favor of the ap-
pointment Of Messrs. Dodge and Staples.
In conversation with a STAR reporter upon
the subject Major Raymond remarked that he
had nothing to say, except that he voted gainst

gave the excursionists additional time at the
