A STRANGE CEMETERY.


WHAT A PLUMBER FOUND IN DARK CELLAR

While at work repairing water pipe in tho collar OF
No. $40 Broome street yesterday forenoon William
Turner, plumber discovered away in unused cor

mould and dust Lifting the lid or one OF them he

ing that rather singular place for a cemetery Tur-
notified Captain Alaire, OF the Fourteenth Pre-
cinct of his discovery. Coroner Croker and Deputy
Coroner DR.. Macwhnnic were also notified, and went
to the house in which the strange discovery had been
made They found that the cellar used a coffin
wareroom by one Joseph APPLICABLE In the remote
the five collins and cigar box standing on
the floor against the wall When the collins were
brought into the light two of them were found to be
empty. One contained, according to Dr. Macwhin-
nies opinion the remains OF full grown child and
the other two collins and the cigar box each contained
q fetus The collins were of very old style OF
manufacture and only bones aud dust were seen in
them as It was evident that they had been slowed
the tobacco box not very distinct, but IL
thought to bear the date Of August is. 1870.
Nobody connected with Mr. Applegate's establish
ment admitted the slightest knowledge OF the collins
AZ stated above the cellar is used for the storages OF
the which collins before they are lowered
into the grave and in that part OF the cellar where tho
remains OF the children were found, which is in tho
rear the larger and less frequently called for
stored This rs the reason the employees OF the firm give
for seldom having occasion TO visit the corner where
tho collins found. Mr.. Applcgate informed
HERALD reporter that he had carried his business
those premises for twenty years and had heard
oil the collins being In the cellar. His theory OF the
is that named Charlie 2asse'i, whom he had
employed about FIVE years ago had been given the
collins by undertaken TO have burned and instead
Of carrying his instructions had deposited them in
the cellar
Coroner Croker ordered the collins 10 be removed 10
the Morgue that moro thorough examination OF tho
remains might be made He will hold an inquest at the
earliest practicable day.

PUBLIC CHARACTERS 1T WASHINGTON
PROCTOR KNOTT.

Proctor Knott, of Kentucky, ia one of the
score of men in the present House of Rep
resentatives who have q national reputa-
ton. He is supposed to be the great hu-
morist of the body, and is commonly allu-
ded to as the funny Chairman of the judi
ciary Committee. 1t may look like an af-
fectation for putting paradoxes to say so /;
but am free to confess that l never saw q
more matter Of-fact, eerious person in my
life. l had precOnceived notion of him
as tall, dashing young Kentuckian, with
hne voice, fiery manner, eXuberaut imag
ination and unlimited control of language /;
the reality is q strange contrast to the pic
ture drawn by the fancy. Proctor Kaott
Is a very common place, oldish looking
man, who wears plain clothes, uses plain
language, and draws as little public atten-
ton to himself as any one occupying his
place can. He is rather below the middle
size, has abundant gray hair and O small
gray mustache, which lacks the elegant
drOop of Fernando Woods. His eyes are
not good, and indeed the only remarkable
feature about him is his forehead, which ia
very broad and full, appearing actually much
wider than any other part of the face. 1t
is not very high, but indicates intellect.
Thus far in the session the Chairman of
the Judiciary Committee has spoken main
~ on business topics, and spoken like q
business man. He has made no attempt at
Oratory, simply answering questions OF
making explanations, as if he possessed no
such faculty as imagination and was ut
terly devoid of the sense of humor. His
voice is not very strong, and his style of
delivery is unpretentious, so that he might
be set down as one of the driest and dull
lest members of the House were it not for
the brevity aud cOnciseness which charac-
terize his remarks. In this he constantly
betrays his fret rate capacity as a lawyer.
Mr.. Knott made his reputation as wit
by his speech on Duluth, which is familiar
to every schoolboy in the country. 1t was
delivered while he was a member of the
Forty second Congress, late one afternoon,
when matters were unusually dull, and it
made an immediate hit. The members
crowded about him to listen, the news
paper reporters were caPtivated, and the
lame of tue speech wont abroad. No criti-
cal reference 90 that adnirable piece ef

ExToRTIoN AT THE CENTENNIAL Elk
tortion on the part of the restaurants on
the Centennial ground is already attracting
the attention of the press. The New York
Tribune puts the French restaurant, the
g TroIs Freres," as conspicuous in this
course. A late letter of it's correspondent
says: "A distinguished member of Con-
grese, with party of friends, took a light
lunch there. There were FIVE of them and
they drank no wine. The bill was twelve
dollars. Two lunches of lettuce, that cost
perhaps three cents apiece, were charged
one dollar. A Philadelphia journalist went
with a lady to this temple of high living
and paid four dollars for a very small
chicken, little bread and butter, and
bottle of claret that would have ranked in
France as vim ordinaire, and been included
in the menu without charge. A New
Yorker went in and, astouuded at the
charge of ninty- Eve cents for a cup of cOf
fee and two cakes, refused positively to
pay. After q consultation between the
garcon and the Testsurateur the bill was
reduced to thirty FIVE cents"

A FEARFUL SIrUATIoN.-A lady of this
place says the Whitehall New York; Times,
last week. when she Observed a neiebbcr
approaching the house whom she did not
care to see. She quickly dropped her
work, and stepped into a closet, so as not
to be sat home" to her caller. The closet
door closed with a spring and imprisoned
the lady. The caller, finding the lady alb
sent, did not stop, but when the lady tried
to opeu the door she discovered. alas that
she was prisoner. The lady realized that
she was consuming the air very fast, yet
che was poweriess to release herself from
her prison. She remained in the cloeet
about four hours, and when her husband
returned home at Supper time, he missed
his wife, but thought nothing about it.
Having occasion to look into the closet, he
discovered his wife lying insensIbIe on the
floor. He quickly drew her inauimate
