SENSATIONAL SToRY.-The sensa-
tional story published in a Washington
paper to-day to the effect that grave
ward containing the bones of defunct
coIored people is being washed away
bv the rains and the remains-that is
those not washed into the Potomac
ground into fertilizers, is without found
alton in fact. The paper asserts that
the cemetery in question is situated at
Broomielaw, on the banks of Hunting
Creek, while the truth is the graveyard
is at the southern end of Washington
street, half mile from Broomielaw
Point, and directly opposite the Catho-
lie cemetery. Besides there never were
four thousand persons in the reser-
walton, as the paper states, nor one
thousand either, few hundred being
the maximum. The deep cut dug for
the independent" line of the old Ma
nassas Gap Railroad is on the south
of the graveyard and the property of
the Alexandria Brick Works on the
west. Most of the bodies buried there
were colored children, generally in
fants, q fact which will be attested by
all whose recollections go back to war
times This spot Of ground was then
studded with shingles bearing the
names of children, many but few days
old and others only as many hours
During the years which have elapsed
occasionally some bones may have been
brought to the surface by the encroach-
menls Of the brickyard, but no such
state of things exists as portrayed in
the Washington paper.

hope that Mr. Bissell will carry out the
