Manassas, Va, Speculating Over
Finds, Which Include Skeleton.

Special Correspondence OF Tue Star.
MANASSAS. Va. June 6.-Opening the
water and sewer trenches here has
paved ..le way for the old inhabitants
to speculate in an effort to trace the
circumstances attending the burial Of q
man whose skeleton was found three
feet in the ground on Liberty street, in
southwest Manassas. Recollections Of
the bloody field and many burtals in
1861 today furnish an interesting field
Of speculation.
A faded strip Of silk. bearing a re-
semblance to q neckte. and q small
button, once attached to cap, were
found near the skull. Workmen placed
the bones in a box and the remains
were again inferred in the town lot.
At the corner of the New Prince VIII
liam Hotel, on Main street, which leads
to the battlefield several miles distant,
a great mass of debris was unearthed
at depth Of four feet. Parts of old
harness, brass fixtures, sections of
vehicles and various articles battered
and worn beyond recognition were
moved from tho path of the sewers. A
tiny ring, its set long lost, fell apart
in the hands Of a laborer and was lost
in the tangled heap.

Is expected that the pipes will be laid
through another section of the layer
of debris and new discoveries are an
