Many complaints have been made during
the past few days, over the exhibition in an
alleged coffin on Edwards street, of q
skeleton standing erect. At night, sur
rounded by colored lights. this has present.
ed weird and CHASTITY spectacle. 1t has
alarmed and even frightened some of the
fair ones as they were confronted by this
unsightly apparition. Upon complaints of
several citizens of the Third ward to Alder
men Spencer and thompson, City Marshall
Cronin yesterday ordered the skeleton
removed inside the museum. The proprie-
tor of the place attempted to make an
objection at first and threatened dire results
to Marshal Cronin if he removed 1t. The
official showed his authority and after
witnesses were summoned the proprietor
and the marshal lifted the box and carried
it inside. There are two rooms in this
museum Of anatomy, the first being desig-
mated as q "lsdies' department" though
only thin screen separates it from the
rear apartment which is filled with speci-
mems Of anatomy.
