SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. ia horrible
discovery was made in Chinatown to-day.
Information was given the city Coroner
that fearful stencil was being emitted
from a cellar on Pacific street. He went
to the cellar and found the floor covered
with human skulls and bones, partly
covered with flesh in the last stage of
decomposition. In an inner room the
Coroner found a number of Chinese
engaged in boiling down the remains of
other bodies, while several other China
men were engaged in scraping bones and
packing them in boxes for shipment to
China. 1t Is estimated that the cellar con-
tanned over 800 dead bodies, which had been
taken secretly from various cemeteries
throughout the State. AS an instance of
Chinese ingenuity it is stated that those
In charge OF these operations, fearing that
the stencil from the boiling pots would be
so great as to attract attention outside,
had procured two living skunks so that
the odor of the latter might overcome that
of the former. The Coroner has taken
charge OF all the remains.
