Human Bones Found in !. sandbar.


j. Il. Hatcher, a dealer in sand in
this city, found yesterday in sandbar
on the Roanoke river, near the Roanoke
and Southern bridge, while digging up
sand, a human skull and other bones
buried "a feet beneath the surface.
The bones are in a fairly good state of
preservation, although they bear owl
dence OF being very old. About thirty
days ago Mr.. Hatcher found other
human bones about six feet from where
the skull was found. The place where
the bones were buried is about thirty
feet from the water and in spot that
seems not to have been disturbed for
ages. One theory is that the skeleton
is that of man killed during the
period waen the country was inhabited
ty 1ndiaas. Another theory is that the
bones belong to man, who was sup.
posed to have been murdered on the old
county bridge above the river years
ago and whose remains have never
been found. The story goes that be fore
Roanoke was built q farmer, residing in
the county, was seen to approach the
bridge in company with n suspicious
character and was never seen or heard
of afterwards. The supposition is that
The man was murde the body thrown
in the river and afterwards washed into
this sandbar.

Ala tie camp eight miles from this

man arrested is negro, answering in
every essential particular to the de-
scription given of Henry Patterson,
the murderer of Deputy Sheriff Will

which crime was committed near
Shreveport about eighteen months
ago. The prisoner has gone under

A THIRD TERM.
Gov. Flower Says President Cleveland
Can Have 1t for the Asking.


The recent interview indulged in by
Gov. Flower, of New York, while Wis
iting in Chicago, in which he stated
that President Cleveland could have a
third term in the presidential chair for
the asking, and should he become a
candidate again there would be no op-
position in the Democratic party to
even his fourth nomination, is attract
ing widespread attention from all por-
tions of the country, The wonder is
not so much that Gov. Flower should
hold such opinions, as he is known to
be decided partisan in his support of
President Cleveland and blind fol-
lower of his personal idol, but that he
should be so impolitic at this time,
when scores of vital questions are cry
ing at the gates of Democracy for So
luton and settlement, as to spring a
wholly unnecessary and uncalled for
proposition on his party, which can
only result in contention and possible
disruption among its members, This,
too, in the face of the fact that Mr..
Cleveland positively asserted, more than
once, that he would not accept a
third term at the hands of his party if
offered him, giving vent at the time
to his views in opposition to third
terms, and lifetime tenures in Office
generally. This action Of Gov. Flow
er's has caused it to be said, in quiet
way, that the President was already
shaping his affairs so as to insure his
nomination for third term.
In the meantime the Democratic par
ty has many grave and perplexing
questions to settle before the nomina-
ton of any man may be worth the
while to discuss, and unless the ques-
ton of finance and the tariff be settled
satisfactorily to the great mass of the
people the party that is now in power
will undoubtedly be held responsible
for the evils, if there be any, from nom
action in regard to these great issues
that effect vitally the interest of the
people more than any other.
A close friend of the President had
the following to say regarding the
Flower interview:
"The governor has lent himself to a
clever vancouver on the part of the
New York machine leaders in making
such representations. He does not be-
lieve that the President would accept
the nomination in 1896. He knows
or at least the machine leaders know
that there is strong public sentiment
against three terms for one man, and
his statement that as one term has in
tervened there would be nothing
against his being candidate again is
too shallow to deceive any one"

Are not more widely distinct than

which unscrupulous vendors foist up
