Found Human Bones.

The Monumental Messenger. a monthly
paper published by the Monumental
church, gives the following account Of a
gruesome find made under the Sunday
school room:
while excavating under the school
room to put in the furnace a mans leg
bone from knee to hip was dug up, but
no other bones We're found. It probably
came from the Medical College, as it is
not likely to have been part of the re-
mains of one of the fire victims"

TIE WEATHER HERE.

Yesterday in Richmond was a day Of
unsettled weather. A quarter Of an inch
of rain fell night before last, and the
day opened up cloudy. In spite Of the
cooling effect Of the rain, the day was
nuggy and close almost uncomfortably
warm in the houses shut in from the
wind and the rain. A heavy shower, ac-
companied by thunder. fell at P. NJ,
and this was followed by casual showers
and generally disagreeable drizzle until
late into the night.
Tho temperature remained in the sew
enties until $50 o'clock, when the mer-
curry began slowly to fall. At 6 it stood
at 60; $50, at 60; Z, at g.; $780, at 60; s.
at 6s; $50, at IS; 9, at IS, and kept this
until midnight
COLD THIS MORNING.
The change is expected to- arrive this
morning, when the te1nperat ure will show
a decided fall. Tonight will be typi-
cal autumn night, if anything is to be,
inferred from the existence OF denger-
Gus low area in the Northwest, which is
rapidly moving this way.
tits not known how long the cool spell
will last but it is probable it will not be
warm again until next week. when late
September weather may again be expected
to prevail.

Scientists claim that the exercise
necessary to operate an ordinary
typewriter, together with its noise,
tend to injure the health and cause
nervousness. \ German inventor
has therefore perfected a machine
which is operated by air pressure on
the keyboard, and does away with
the noise and much of the labor. Its
adoption may he one way of preserv-
ing health and preventing nervous
ness, but there is a better and less
expensive way, and that is by using
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. All
people of sedentary occupation need
this wonderful medicine to aid diges-
ton and to keep the bowels regular.
1t will also cure dyspepsia, bilious
