THE OLD GRAVEYARD.
The effort to have the old Presby terian grave
yard removed will, it is stated, soon take defi-
mite shape. Legal advice has been had on the
subject. 1t is said that many of the graves
contain three and even four bodies. At the
corner OF Saith and Q streets is pump. from
which many residents of the Twenty Build
ings get their water. For some time there
has been considerable sickness among these
tenants and the opinion is expressed that this
water Is infected with impurities from the ad-
jacent graveyard and that IS what causes the
sickness. During the winter when this pump
Is not used. the health of the neighborhood ID
much better.
