Private Bolton Says He Found Them in

Private Bolton Says He Found Them in
the Hold of the Merrimac.
RICHMOND, Va, March 20. Private James
K. Bolton, an inmate of the Confederate Sol
diers' home, near this city, tells startling
story of the finding in the hold Of the old
Confederate ram Merrimac the skeletons of
two men. Bolton was a member Of Johnson's
battery during the war and was wounded at
Brandy Station. He is now almost in dy-
ing condition. He Leclares that the dscov-
cry of these skeletons has preyed upon his
mind for years.
According to Bottoms story he was engaged
as a wrecker in 1878. The person with whom
he was engaged az that time was employed in
getting the old copper Off the Merrimac.
While engaged in TINS work Bolton says that
on one occasion he dived into the forecastle
of the Confederate gunboat. There he found
the skeletons of two men manacled to the
hoor. He supposed that they were members
Of the crew who were put in irons for breach
of discipline, and when the craft was sunk
were forgotten by their comrades.

MARY ANDERSON is a public character
and the people demand and have a right
TO know the facts concerning her health.
The entire moral and professional code of
the doctors needs revision. In any one
of the notable cases of sickness and death
within the last decade the doctors have
persistently lied and blundered. It is
difficult to tell whether they
have bundered worse or have
lied worse. They have outraged
the public in both respects Without
going further the cases Of Conkling and
the Emperor Frederick are enough TO
illustrate the point we make. In regard
to Mary Anderson the Baltimore doctor
and the Philadelphia doctors say that she
is afflicted with nervous prostration but
that her mind is not involved. To the
public that seems an impossibility. The
brain is the seat Of the nerve system,
any affection of the branches would
certainly involve the fountain. The pub
lie feels towards diary Anderson as a
man may feel towards sister-the rela-
tion created by her high character and won
derful gifts is particularly dear one to
the people and they have the right to
know precisely the degree Of danger to
her body or her mind.

THE EVENING JOURNAL, in discussing
the assessment laws and Mr. Bayard's re

protest against trampling on the rights
of American citizens, called it an ina
lienable right Smyrna Times.
