WEST POINT A GRAVEYARD.

Buried Skeletons Unearthened, Supposedto be Those of Spies.

West Point, N. Y., Jan. 24 (Special)..Several days ago a gang of men was set towork digging out a cellar under the officers'club rooms. The excavation extendedunder the Schofield Hall. While at workafter dinner yesterday one of the men

startled his comrades by an excahnationof horror, and promptly tumbled over ina faint.His companions soon revived him, and,

when he told that he had dug into a

skeleton there was a rush to the spot. Aspadeful of bones lay on the surface.The men carefully picked them up and

placed them in a box. Then they beganto dig in earnest. The place proved to bea veritable graveyard. At 4 o'clock theyhad unearthed a wagon-load of bones andskulls, which must have belonged only tomen of giant stature.There was great excitement, until one of

the old retired soldiers, who was born on

the post, told a story handed down by hisgrandfathei that all the English spieshanged in Gallows Hollow were buriedwhere Schofield Hall now stands. Theauthorieties will probably in vestigate thematter.

NOT SURPRISED.

The Reported New Deai of theNorfolk and Western.

Norfolk, Va., Jan. 25..The anounce¬ment that the Hocking Valley railwayand the Wisconsin Central lines hadfunned a combination with the Norfolkand Western system looking toward theestablishment of a direct line from thegreat lakes to Norfolk was not unexpectedin railway circles in this city. It haslong been known that both these big wes¬

tern systems wanted to reach this port,and that they were only deterred from so

doing by the condition of the Norfolk andWestern, whose receivers were not pre¬pared to enter into negotiations to thisend.As soon as the road was sold, however,

and Mr. Henry Fink, its president, show¬ed that his policy would be a progressiveone, the plan at once assumed definiteshape, and its successful consummation isconfidently expected here. In that event,even the present large terminal facilities ofthe Not folk and Western at this port willhave to be enlarged by the addition of atleast two elevators, Additional yard capaci¬ty, and new warehouses; Lambert Pointis already one of the greatest railwayterminals in the South and this additionwill probably make it the largest.

It is also stated on good authority thatthe contemplated combine has made theNorfolk and Western active to try to se¬

cure ingress into Atlanta. Although thestatement given out by President Mor-sorrete, of the Hocking Valley is not]taken seriously Li Wall street, it is confi¬dently believed here that the deal will beconsumated.
