FOUR CorF1Is ITNE.RTuED IN EycAyIT1Nf FOR
AFOUNDATIoN.-Considera excitement was oc-
casioned this morning In the neighborhOod of 5th
and Boundary streets northwest by the dis Oyery
or several collins in an excavation being made for
foundations OF some houses about to be built Mr..
OBrien, in charge of the labOrers who were ex-
cavating, sent word to the health office, and DR..
TownShcnd dispatched Mr.. Barr to the place to
ascertain the facts. 1t was found that this had
formerly been the Site tor the Old African ceme-
terry, all marks OF which have sometime ago been
obliterated, and the square-No 475, between 5th
aud 9Th streets-is being built up. 1t is supposed
that in dStnterring the bottles these four over
looked. Some o. the collins were found to be in
good State OF preservation, while others had be-
come so much decayed that they were shoveled
into the carts with the bones and dumped into
depression On Boundary street, ut the of 18th
street, without any notice being taken OF them but
on searching for the bones they could not be
found. 1t is thought that SINE bone and rag pick
erS had carried them away. There were but four
OF the cof1ns and they were struck by the excava-
tors about four feet below the surface. The health
officer has given orders to have the remains taken
up and buried in PotterS field Jas there is no one to
claim them.
