Some Curious Things.

PHILADELPHIA, April 25.-By sundown
tonight it is expected that the gang of
men that for two months has been en-
gagged in removing the bodies from the
old Union cemetery at Belgrade aud
Vienna streets, 30 as to make room for
forty-one residence buildings, will have
completed their labors. Altogether nearly
5000 bodies have been removed. Some
curious discoveries have tended from time
to time to enliven the operations, if they
were capable of being enlivened. One of
the cotfins brought to the surface was
constructed of solid iron, and of the shape
OF a torpedo boat, long and pointed at
the ends. Upon unscrewing the lid
there was found the body of a man in a
perfect state of preservation, not the
slightest trace Of discoloration being ap-
parent, although, according to the rec.
ords, the interment must have taken
place fully half century ago. The
body rested in drapngs OF the most cost
ly satin, colored and white, and the red
hair upon the head, as well as the mus
tache OF the same color, were as intact as
though the burial had taken place
but couple of days before.
This is attributed to the fact that the COW
ering of heavy plate glass beneath the lid
rendered the iron casket absolutely air.
tight. In another coffin, containing the
body of woman, there were two fiat
irons, discovery which caused consider
able speculation until an undertaken
explained that it was customary in the
profession to place irons on the knees
Of people who had been bow-legged in
their life time in order to keep them in
place. Several hundred of the bodies
were found to be completely petrfed
resembling flint, condition due to the
damp and marshy ground. Three
cofiins entirely empty have been brought
to the surface, while in another casket
was the body OF man whose hair anG
beard had grown so long as to fill the
remaining space. In another case thu
diggers found the skeleton OF a woman
with luxurious growth of hair six fee
on her skull. The coffin had crumblet
into dust. The remains are being re
inferred in Northwood cemetery,

Special Correspondence New Mexican.
SILVER Cry, April 24.-ln the county
convention yesterday ex Governor K. &.
Ross was knocked cold, His adherents
worked hard to elect delegation to the
Democratic convention at Albuquerque
in his interest and headed by him, but
were defeated by the Fielder men by a
vote of 70 to 50.
The blow is a hard one for the old
man, as it shows concluslvely that his
own party in his own county has no use
for him, that he is back number, and
that his own fellow citizens do not think
him fit to represent the territorial Dem
ocracy in the national convention.
The following are the resolutions passed
by the convention instructing for
Fielder:
"The Democratic party of Grant county,
N. NJ, in convention assembled instruct
their delegates to the territorial conven-
ton to vote and work for Hon. Idus l..
Fielder, true and tried Democrat and
ardent advocate of tariff reform and the
free coinage of silver, as delegate to the
national convention to be held at Chi
cago."
The Albuquerque bosses issued instruc-
tons that Ross delegation he sent from
this county, but the Democrats here
would not "bend the pregnat hinges Of
their knees" to the behest Of these bosses,
and therefore elected Fielder delegation
and one that will fght for the proper
recognition of the Democrats of this coun
ty to the bitter end.
