HUMAN RONES
Found I'm a Vault by some Men Employed
by the sanitary EXcnyatimg COMPANY.

F0und I'm a Vault by some NHen Employed
by the Sanitary Excavating Company.
Thursday evening. while some Of the en-
ployees of one of the sanitary excavatfng COM
panies were at work cleaning out vault at the
house No. SO Annuneiation street. they found
human skull and the thigh bones of either q
man or woman: at present 1t is impossible to
tell which. The house where the human relics
were found is occupied by about twenty eolored
families. but they were unable to throw any
light upon the mystery.
The seull and bones are believed TO be all
that now remains OF q German tailor who re-
sided In this house six years ago. and who
mystariously disappeared and has never since
left his shop and stock open to any one in
elined to rob him. The day that the tailor dis
appeared he paid 5000 that he had fallen heir
to by the death Of an uncle in Germany. The
money was brought to him In March. 1867, and
paid tn him by the agents of RSsteamship com
pany; he had received the money about a fort
night when heWas missed. When he received
the money he said that he was going to quit
business and return to Germany.
Now that these bones are found. 1t is believed
by those who are acquainted with the tailor's
mysterious disaDp pearanee. that he was the VIC
tim OF foul .rlay, which has been brought to
light at this late day.
The coroner took charge of the bones and
skull and turned them over to City Physician
Beard.
DIR. Beard after lining the skull said that
there were no marks of violence. and is of the
impression 1t is the skull of woman If the
doctors theory is correct. the theory regarding
the tailor Is allied.
