AGRAvEYARp HORROR.
Negligent Manner In which the Dead
are buried in indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 1.-THE Greenlawn
Cemetery horrors promise TO be increased
tenfold by the investigation ordered by the
Council at It's last meeting New cases oi
desecration Of graves are reported to the
committee daily, and these disclosures
place the sexton in rather an unfayorable
light. Chairman Pritchard received a
communication yesterday from Rev. E. A.
Bradley, rector OF Christ Church, relating
the details Of recent burial at Greenlawn,
which he was called upon to conduct few
days ago. When the grietstricken, rela.
tiyes Of the deceased reached the cemetery,
they were shocked to find the grave pre-.
pared for the reception OF the dead less
than two feet deep, atording scarcely room
enough 10 conceal the coffin from sight.
The sexton was consulted about this shock.
ing arrangement, and sullenly remarked
that the grave could be dug no deeper. He
offered, however, to dig another grave In q
different part Of the cemetery, provided he
was paid more money. Unwilling to have
the body 30 carelessly disposed Of, the re-
quired sum was raised by the mourner0,
who stood by silent and sad, while re.
spectacle grave was provided. The scene
is described as one peculiarly affecting.
The charge Of Zack Meadows that the sex.
ton removed the body Of his mother from
grave for which he paid 81 to another
spot, where the coffin was placed only six:
teen inches below the sod, will doubtless
be sustained.
The manner in which the bodies Of pau
pers are buried ia said to be sickening in
the extreme. With no one to look after
their disposal, they are deposited in every
available nook and corner, some under the
fence, almost beneath the sidewale, and
others in graves with three or four. A
well known physician tells shocking story
about the remains OF confederate soldiers
who died at Camp Morton during the war.
His information was Obtained from direct
and authoritative source. One hundred
bodies OF confederates were laid at rest in
Greenlawn in four rows. When the GENE.

were placed in one grave, thus saving one.
bali the space, and at different times there.
after other transfers were made, until now
there is but one row Of twenty-five graves,
containing one hundred bodies, four to
