MYSTERY OF a HAND.
A Human Hand Found on the Midland
Track--A. g. ID. Not Involved.

Track-A. g. ID. Not Involved.
Especial telegram toths Dispatch.I
DANvuIE, Va. January 1.-Something of
sensation was caused here to-day by the
finding of n human hand on the Midland
railroad in North Danville. 1t is delicate
looking hand and evidently was cut from
the hody Of white woman, but where 1t
came from and how it CHANGED to be In the
railroad track is a mystery.
WEEK AGO.
TIE hand must have been severed q week
or z.ore ago and il anybody in this section
had been murdered the fact would GER
tainly have come to light ere this
POSSIBLE SOLUTION.
The most plausible theory advanced is
that in some railroad accident the hand
was cut from the arm of victim and
lodged on the truck OF the car. where tire
NAMED for some time and was finally
jostled off.
THE BATBMAS FAILURE.
The announcement of the failure of A..
L. Bateman IL Co. was received with much
interest in this city, as Mr.. Bateman was
well-known here IN connection with the
Atlantic and Danville railroad. The re-
rort Of the failure IN the New York Herald
and reproduced in to-day's Dispatch would
lead the casual reader TO infer that tne
road belonged to Mr.. Bateman and would
20 down with him. but counsel for the
road in this city say that such Is not the
fact.
THE ROAD NOT INVOLVED.
They say that the English syndicate
which furnished the money with which
the road was built recently took the prop
erty out OF Mr.. Ba,oman's hands, he as
signing TO them his interest IN tho proper
~; that the road is now owned absolute
~ by the Englishmen, and that 1t Is in no
way involved or embarrassed by the Bate
man failure. Theroad is now being operated
on q business basis and will soon be ex-
tended to the west. where it will be most
valuable and profitable property.
SWELL GERMAN.
A number Of young ladies in the city gave
a swell german at Masonic Hall to- night,
which was largely attended and was u
most ENJOYABLE occasion. The girls footed
all the bills. -.
The Young Mems Christian Association
hada New-Year's reception to-day, and
the Ladies Auxiliary served lunch to all
the callers.
