UNEARTHED BY WORKMEN. [BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] WELLINGTON. Monday.' Two corporation workmen made an anexpected discovery this morning when, on digging away a mound of sand alongside the track leading to the Rongotai paving plant, they uncovered a human skeleton, which apparently had been there for many yeafs.
