HAD BEEN DEAD FOR MONTHS,

HE MAY HAVE BEEN AN OFFICER.
II Is Thought the Man was Murdered, and

Distance From Where His Remains

WOODSTOCK, VA, Oct. 3.-Spccial-
On Thursday last Charles Hockman and
James Wills while hunting grapes found
in a ravine in the North Mountain about
two miles north Of Mount Olive, in shen-
andoah county the skeleton OF o man.
The fact was at once reported and a
coroners inquest held. DR.. Brown who
examined the skeleton was OF tho opinion
that the deceased had been dead about
eight months No one is missing from
the community.
THESE MAY BE CLUES.
Tho deceased had been dressed in a
dark, small-strpcd suit which is in good
condition. The holes In tho coat show that
he had been shot with buck shot in the
back and left arm
NO papers or money were found and
the silk umbrella discovered near the
body had a piece torn out as though II
was done 20 destroy a name. Otherwise
the umbrella was i'm good condition
There were also found with tho skelo-
ton small hickory cane. n leather shawl

A NIarveloui Trick.

A new illusion is reported from the
Alhambra, London. In the center OF
the stage, hanging from four bars, is Il
board which may be examined by the
audience. A man is securely fastened
to this board with padlocks around the
arms, legs and neck, making it impos-
siblc for him to move. A curtain is
then placed around the man, but which
only reaches to the board, thus leaving
1t open below, so that the audience may
see beneath tho board during the whole
Of the performance. AT the report of q
pistol tho curtains are opened, and in
the place of the man is woman fastened
20 the board by tho same padlocis, the
man appearing at the same instant in
the midst of the audience. The change
IS made in less than thirty seconds, the
stage being in full light all the time.

lie Did Not Act Like Gentleman from
virginia.
In Kentucky an unfortunate mer-
chant saw bankruptcy confronting
him, and to save portion of his prop
crty he invoked the name of his wife
and the assistance OF friend. The
creditors instituted proceedings to re-
cover certain property, and in the
course of the proceedings his friend,
a native Of Virginia. was pat upon the
5tand. All went well. says the Louis
lille Post, until the witness was sub
iccted to n rigid cross-cxamination by u
,lwycr, himself native OF Virginia.
The witness went blundcring along at
such a rate that his lawyer felt it nee
cssary TO interfere and tell him that he
was not required to answer questions
which would criminatc himself.
After the close Of the case, which re-
suited disastrously for our accommo-
dating friend from Virginia, he eX-
pressed Indignation at the humiliation
TO which he had been subjected. Il
was never in my life treated with so
ti5ile courtesy" he said. The oppos.
ing counsel did not act at all like a
rent cman, sin. l expected entirely
d;Gprent treatment, especially as ]
learned that lie was from Virginia, and
he l.ncw l was from that state. No,
sir. in the old days no Virginia gentle
1nan, sir, would cause another Virginia
gentleman the Alightes. embarrassment
because of so paitry Z matter, nor
woall he scel; by set interrogatorics to
mall him contradict himself. No, sir,
it is objectionable, sir, and all for the
pnrpose of increasing the dividends OF
few Yankee clients whom he never
saw. am convinced, sir, that your
lawyer never came from Virginia at
all, sir: he must have come from West
Virginia"
