the substantial recognition of one OF its
officers for service rendered during the
preparations for the unveiing of the Lee

"Yes, sir: ! am opposed TO annexation"
he continued. Manchester has made adj

again. She offered then, when to develop
her resources and natural advantages she
needed the cordial cooperation Of her
larger and more wealthy sister. to go to
Richmond on very liberal terms, and she
was treated with little consideration and
very scant courtesy.

WHOSE ARE THE BONES?
CHASTITY DISCOVERY MADE BY WORK
MEN YESTERDAY.
The Bones of an Unknown Man Un-
earthed in a Back-Lot-was Arthur
O'Nein the Victim?

| Late yesterday afternoon, as some work
men were digging in the rear of lot OF
the alley between N and N, Second anG
Third streets, they unearthed a human
skull. Word was sent to the police station
and officer Farrell went to the place an6
took charge of the skull, and little late,
Chief of Police Drew visited the spot. The
men set to work with their shovels, an6
soon found the rest of the skeleton. The
bones were found near the surface of the
ground, and had evidently been buried
many years.
The upper jawbone of the skull contained
one tooth, the last of the back row, on the
left side. and it was in an excellent state OF
preservation, although there was not q
vestige Of any other.
The person occupying the premises
where the bones were found had lately
rented and moved upon the place, and, OF
course, knows nothing as to how the body
came to be buried there
As usual in such cases, almost every per.
son has some theory or other to offer as a
possible solution of the mystery surround.
ing the affair, and stories are told of how
this and that person had mysteriously dis
appeared.
About as plausible theory as any that
has been advanced is the one that the
bones are possibly those of Arthur O'Neill,
the brickmaker, who dropped ont of sight
one day many years ago. He had been
drinking, and when last seen he was on
Fourth street, near NJ, having just left the
saloon of Thomas Kenny, in that vicinity.
1t is possible that he fell victim to thugs,
as he was man of some wealth, and NAV
have had money about him.
The skull seems to be sound, bearing no
evidence of having been broken by blow.
so that If its owner was murdered it must
have been by wounds inflicted elsewhere
on the body.
1t is not impossible that a thorough in
vestigation OF the matter may bring to
light the particulars of foul deed and dis
pei the mystery surrounding the death OF
O'Neill or some other person whose fate
has heretofore been unknown.
The skull is evidently that of person of
good size, as it is quite large. The front
portion, including the upper Jaw, is de-
tached from the rest, having probably been
struck by pick or spade by one of the
men engaged in digging. The upper por-
ton, however, including the forehead, the
Uranium and down to the base behind, ap-
pears to be perfectly sound.
Whoever the deceased may have been, it
looks as if he was victim of foul play, and
that little time was wasted by his slayers
10 providing hiding-place for the body.
The premises have no doubt had many
different occupants in the last twelve or
fifteen years, but il may be possible yet to
trace the matter up and get some clue to
the perpetrators of the crime, If crime il
was.

l luere uhu DeeQ some QOuOlS expressed
as to whether or not the Directors of the
State Agricultural Society would feel suffi-
GENTLY encouraged Dy the results of the
present meeting to continue the proposed
annual spring races, but they say they will
have another meeting next spring, and an
nually right along. The Directors say they
are aware that the past winter was detri.
mental to many of the States industries
and that people are not at this time in DO.
sition to spend money freely for amuse.
ment; that another such hard winter may
not occur again in forty years, and thai
soon the people will recuperate their losses
Indeed, the feeling exists that in the enc
the heavy rains of last winter will be o.
great benefit to the State, and that next yeal
will be one of unusual prosperity. Hence
the Society feels safe in going ahead witt
the meetings.
