several thousand dollars, and the
work done is a credit to the econom-

SKELETON AND sABER.
Bones of the Hand Still Graspsd the
 Weapons Hit.

New Decatur, July 1.-(SpeciaD-- While excavating fo: the Decatur sew er~ on Market Street yesterday work men found a saber buried under eight feet of earth. Grasping the handle of the weapon was a skeleton hand with long rlim fingers and nearby lay a ghostly looking skull and several other human bones.
 The saber is supposed to have been the property of a Revolutionary general as some of the old citizens rem smber Of having heard their forefathers tell of an American General in the Revolu- tionary War having been killed and his body inferred near .he spot where this find was made yesterday.
 The wood part of the saber handle Is routed away and the blade. which is about four and a half feet long. Is hadly eaten with rust but considering the nur Der of years which the weapon Is supposed to have been buried. 1t .s in a remarkable stafe of preservation.
 The find was made near Captain J. D. Stewards grocery store. just one block from the banks of the Tennessee. When the Revolutionary General was buried here Decatur was only a small unim- portant trading post surrounded by a vast wilderness. inhabited only by Sav- age red skins and bowling wolves.
 The saber is now on exhibition In Mayor H. A. s. SkaggNplace of busi- ness. He will perhaps send 1t tc the Smithsonian Institution where il will be displayed as Revolutionary relic.

For the past few days there has been a corps of engineers In the field sur yeying from Martins past the grade at Central Mills.
 The l.. & N. which owns the B., s. & N. O.. desires a grade of only per cent on the line and finds that in some instances the grade Is 2 per cent and over. This is so at the cut near Gen. tral Mills and the engineers are mak- Ling a survey so as to be able to report whether 1t will be preferable to make still deeper cut with its attendant dangers of land slides, or change the road bed so as to pass around the hill This latter will leave Central Mills nearly a mile to the south of the road 1t now being a half mile distant from | the track.
