Those Of a Man and Woman in a
Poultney Quarry.

Rutland, May 1l.--Much excitement
has been caused here by the discovery
Of two human skeletons and portion
OF the underclothing of man and a
woman in a trunk in the old ''Royal
Purple slate quarry pit on the Ran
some farm near East Poultney village,
now owned by J. NJ Allen & Tate. The
trunk was found in the bottom Of the
pit under a pile of refuse which was
being cleaned out by workmen. 1t had
been abandoned for more than 20 years.
When the workmen uncovered the trunk,
the selectmen of the town were notified
at once and an examination was made.
Resides the skeletons, which were not
complete, the trunk contained several
articles OF underelothing. catalogue
OF medical and surgical apparatus and
several bottles On the legs of one of
the skeletons were a pair Of long WON
ems stocking. The trunk and clothing
were badly decayed, giving evidence Of
having been in the quarry for a long
time.
The selectmen, after examining the
contents, finally decided that the trunk
was thrown into the pit by some medi-
cal student or college professor after
the bodies had been dissected and no
further investigation is contemplated.
