New Haven, Jan. 8.——A second skele-
ton was found yesterday at Greenwich
avenue and Sea street, by Christopher
Donegan and his men while engaged
in grading the street. Medical Ex-
aminer White is of the opinion that
this, as well as the skeleton found Dec.
24, indicates foul play, and that the
bones of the latter were those of a
young girl, and that both the bodies
have been buried within twenty years.
Both the skeletons had low foreheads,
from which he infers that they belong
to a low class of people. They were
buried about three feet only beneath
the surface, which shows that the bodies
must have been buried clandestincly,
and apparently at different times.

Money was Distributed?
New York, Jan. 8.—There is likely
to be a serious contest over the millions
left by Payer-weather, the rich leather
merchant of New York, who left sev-
eral colleges large sums of money.
Rev. Dr. W'm. Lloyd, the spiritual ad‘
viser of the deceased, has made an af-
fidavit that he was not allowed to see
the dying man although he waited four
hours in the house and was then told of
mg death. It is said that a codicilwhich
Mr. Fayerweather signed enriches the
three executors of tho Fayerweather
estate and :that the signature is very
unlike that of Faycrweather. Mrs.
Fayerweather has scored a point in the.
case in not- being required to make her
objections to the will more specific.
Lawyer Cowdert, Mrs. Fayerweather’s
counsel, hints at fraud and says that
there will be startling developments in
the near future.
Thomas G. Ritch, of Stamford, one
of the members of the law firm of Ar-
nowx, Ritch & Vloodford of New York,
drew the will, and is one of the execu-
tors of that instrument, in whichfthey
control about $3,000,000 of the property
left by deceased.

Miss Perry who keeps a boarding
house in Bridgeport, imagined Mon-
day morning that she had swallowed
her false teeth in her sleep. Two
physicians were instantly summoned
to relieve her terrible sufi'erings and it
was finally decided to resort to trache—
otomy in order to save the life of the
frightened patient. Then one of the
physicians who stood by the bedside
struck the too of his shoe against an
object. Stopping to pick it up it was
found to be the missing plate of teeth
which had dropped from the stand by
the bed. The. patient recovered her
usual health in about five minutes and
a hearty laugh was enjoyed by the
household.

"Going Down to Hilary’s.”
He was a qde‘er old man who boarded the
train at a Small statibn in western New
York. Two young men, who were proba- _
bly-his sons,.:brought him to' the steps of.
thocar and helped him on, and as he en~
tered we saw that he leaned heavily on a
cane and was very feeble.
“The children kept abme till I had to
promise to go,” he said as he sat down.
“Hain’t bin dovvn'to Mary’s in five'years,
and'II’ve got so old Idasn’t wait anylongez.
‘ It’s purty tough on an old man like me,
' but I want to see Mary and the grandchil-
dren.” ' ' ,
“I take it you are goingto spend Thanks:
the man on the seat ahead.
“That’s it. Mary’s my oldest gal. Got
five of ’cm, and all married off“ She lives
down at , and she would have me
come and make a. visit. Mary was allus a
' good gal, and she married a good man.
You’ll tell me when I git there, won’t -
you?” ,
“Oh, yes.” '
-“ ‘Cause they’ll allbe there at the depot
to meet me. My son Steve writ that I was
coming.”
He had about forty miles to go, and when
we passed the first three or four stations
he was anxious for fear that he would be
carried by the right one. After that he
leaned over on the window and fell asleep.
Just before the train. arrived at ——- the
man who had spoken to him turned about
and said:
“Come, grandpa, you get off here."
The old man did not move. and the
stranger arose and shook his arm and. said:
“W'ake up, grandpa! This is your sta‘
tion, and Mary and the grandchildren are
waiting. Come now.”
But he spoke to the dead. The old man
had died while he slept—passed away so
peacefully that notaline of his face had
changed. And we were yet stunned and
grieving when Mary and her husband and
three happy children came hurrying into
the car and shouted:
“Here he is. Here‘s our grandpa come
to spend Thanksgiving!”
S But he was with his- God—New York

A Hero’s Two Tombs.
There is no doubt that one portion of the
body of Gen. Wayne, the hero of Stony
Point—“Mad Anthony,” as he was popu-
larly termed—was interred ~ at the place
where he died, and the other in his native
county. His original burial place was
Fort Presque isle, upon the site of which
the city of Erie, Pea, now stands: the other
locality honored as his last resting place is
‘Radnor cemetery, in Chester county, Pa.
This curious circumstance was brought
about in the following manner:
In the year 1815 the family of this famous
man was given permission to remove his
dust to Radnor, but upon opening the
grave in was found that the body was part-
ly petrified, and consequently very heavy.
A medical friend of the family, recogniz-
ing the fact that it would be a very diffi-
cult and costly task to transport the re-
mains in that condition, determined as far
as possible to remove the petrified flesh
from the bones, and this was accordingly
done. The bones were then carefully
packed up and delivered to the son, who
was kept inignorunce of the operation, and
be conveyed the box containing the pre-
cious portions of his father’s body tohis
native county, where they were interred
with appropriate ceremonies.
A monument was erected in 1809 over
the grave by the Pennsylvania Society of
the Cincinnati. \Vhat remained of the
warrior was reinterred at Fort Presque
Isle, and some years ago was discovered in
the same slate of preservation as when first
exhumed, in a box bearing his name. Ah—
other memorial stone was raised in that
place, and thus was commemorated the
fact that all that was mortal of “Mad An—
thony” \Vayne found :1 final resting place
in two localities far apart from each other.

She “'as Curious to Know.
“Can I see well from there?” said the
nice old lady with the silk mitts, as she
laid :1 finger on the box sheet and looked
over her spectacles at the ticket seller.
“Yes, mn’am—those are very good seats
both for seeing and bearing,” said the
young man. .
“They’re not as good as these over
here?” queried the old lady, taking a leap—
with one finger still—to the other side of
the house.
“Those are good seats, t-oo, ma’am.”
“Don‘t you think they’re too far back?”
“No,n1a’am.” ‘
“Then they’re too close—where are those
seats you showed me just now?”
“Here they are, Ina’am,” said the young
man, taking out the coupons from the
rack and beginning to put them into an
envelope.
“No, I don’t want, then—I think I like
these on this side—only there’s a pillar just
there, isn’t there?”
“No, ma’am. there’s no pillar in that
section—will you take those two?”
“No, I think not—my daughter-’11 be
’round this afternoon and look at the plan.
I don’t know what she wants,” and the old
lady ambled amiably away, totally uncon-
scious that she had kept twenty men and
women waiting for ten minutes while she
practised “shopping” on the ticket seller.

A Poor Debtor’s Hard Fate.
In a certain county in the eastern part of
the state there is a case coming under the
poor debtor law. A man was arrested on
execution for debt and thrown' into jail.
He was stubborn and refused to pay, so
the creditor kept him behind the bars, pay-
ing his board at $2 a week. When six
months had expired the prisoner came to
the conclusion that he would disclose, but
in order to do this he must, under the old
law, which prevailed when he was arrested,
pay all the costs of disclosure and'expenses.
He was unable to do this, as he had no
funds, and the consequence was that he re-
mained in jail, where he has now been re-
siding several years, his board still being
paid by the creditor. It is said that the
latter is determined to keep the fellow in
prison, and has gone so far as to set aside
$2,000 in his will to board the man after his
death.——Lewiston Journal.

Marionettes, says '3 sanguine inventor,
must have an inherent life-of their own.
Theolown, the columbine and all .the
figures representing animals will now
_ caper about. on their own hook.
Worn out visiting cards, matchsticks,
these are the very simple materials with
which people who are fond of a little non-
sense now and then can fashion all the
figures represented by these designs, which
can at any time be set in motion like nie-
chanical toys.
Take, for instance, a clown. First draw ;
. and paint the figure on the back of a card ‘
'gDon’t Buy a Dollar’s Worth of '
“fthe body and head first, then the two
legs and arms; carefully cut out these
fiv’clpieces, place the ' body on a table, and
above it the logs and arms in a position of 1
rest.‘~ ‘~
Now-”these limbs must. be joined, and
this is how it is to be done. Take, for in-
stance. an arm, mark with :1. pencil at the
shoulder end of the arm the exact spot
forming the axis of rotation; pierce a hole
with a pin air-this point and put. it through
the shoulder in"tl1-;- body. Bend :1 match-
stick at the center as much as possible
without breaking and drop a little melted
sealing wax. joiningthe two ligaments to
the arm and botly_.~rcspectively, makingI
the part fornn'ng the" joint in contact;
with the pin. llo the same for the other
limbs, remove the four pins and the figure
is complete. Now we have to give it life.
All that. has to be done for this is to
place the side of the figure on which are
the matches in a plate containing :1 thin
layer, so to say, of water. The bent fibers
of wood which have not been broke; will
swell by means of the 111(1istux-e absorbed
and will try to regain their rectiliueul po—
sition. The figure will then make :1. series
of abrupt movements which are very amus-
ing. The legs and arms will move apart as
those do which are moved by a string. Be
careful to use only large, common match-
sticks. The Swedish cues are impregnated-
with paraffine and would not move as re—
quired.
Each one can perfect the mode of fashion-
ing these figures as he likes best. A bullet
girl who can lift her foot to her forehead,
and a. rooster that can move its legs about,
are pretty easy to make. A horse with
twelve different joints is a. bit. too difficult
for an amateur. For the horse each leg is
composed of three. different portions.
Instead of placing the figure on a plate E
we can put a drop of- water on each joint 2
with the finger or with a paint brush and
the effect will be the sumo—New York 5
Herald.
Queer Facts About Beavers._
James Sherman, of Clifton, was telling
recently some queer things about beaver
and beaver trapping. The animal, he says,
has the most acute sense of smell of any .
animal that exists. In setting the traps
you must wait till low water, in order to '
have the tide when it comes in obliterate
all traces of your presence. When a beaver
is caught in a trap the other beavers at
once enable him to make good his escape
by seizing him by the tail and hauling him
away until they release him, ol‘ten leaving
the limb in the trap as an evidence of the
struggle that ensued. He caught a beaver
once on Puget Island, and says that it had ;
only two toes on a bind foot, the other
three legs being amputated as close to the
body as if the limbs had never existed.
Mr. Sherman says there is one faculty
the beaver possesses that would be a prof- _1
itable and interesting study for scientific
men, and that is the power of making ob—
jects adhere to the bottom of a stream
without any apparent means of securing
them.’ The beaver lives mostly on wood.
which it; cuts and deposits on the bottom.
Where it remains, contrary to the natural
laws, which would in ordinary cases cause
the wood to rise to, the surface. How this
is accomplished itis difficult to decide, but
it; is nevertheless a fact, as Mr. Sherman
assures us that he tried it time and time
again. Beaver trapping pays well where
any considerable number can be caught,
the average price of the furs being from
$3.50 to 85 per pound.-—Cathlumet Gazette.
_ Thought “Ouida” :1. Man.
[never see“Ouida’s” name mentioned
but it recalls to me the circumstances un-
der which her work was first introduced
to the American public. I don’t think the
story has ever been printed. It was just
before the war that Mr. Lippincott, the
Philadelphia. publisher, saw in an English
magazine a serial story bearing the nom
de plume of “Ouida.” He was attracted
to it and determined to republish it. One
question, however, arose. The story was
named “Held in Bondage; or, Granville de
Vigne,” and Mr. Lippincott feared that.
the flame would give the false, impression
that the story was another of the many
works on American slavery that were then
flooding the country.
He therefore determined to reverse the
title, and to hear him out in this be ap-
pealed to the writer. A long and pleasant
correspondence took place between Mr.
Lippincott and “L. de In Rome, Earp,” the
former supposing the latter to be a man.
‘ “Ouida” never corrected the impression,
and for a long time—in fact until Mr. Lip-
pincott’s subsequent visit. to Europe—(lid
the publisher believe that “Ouida” was a
man, and many of his friends remind him
_ today of his enthusiasm over “the new
