GRAVES GIVE UP The DEAD
Interesting Relics Found in Old St.
Patrick'S Cemetery.
Continental Soldiers Buttons Picked
Up-Body of II soldier Incased In
Armor.

Those are the boats that they made
their last voyages in, D." was the way work
man described the empty eXhumed corfius
which are lying round st. Pauick's Gem
etcry and whose coritcnts have bcenremoved
to Mt. Oliyet cemetery.
1t wasa grlpAic sentence true to the facts
and decidedly the language Ola philosopher.
Hamlet s grave diggers never said thing
half so striking.
There is a melancholy interest at this
place Of operdtions They have dug up
nearly all OF the co!fius. Some of them
are in splinters, others are III shape but are
full of holes, and the oues referred TO by
the workman are complete with the
exception thatthe lops nave been removed
and look exactly like boats stranded on
the beach.
The cOlfins, there yesterday afternoon
were perhaps the result only OF yesterdays
work because they are removed when the
contents have been disposed OF. IN very
many the opeDE ErayeSiti tisObSeTYabie that
the wood of the coffinshas beeud sslmiia ted
with the earth. There could have re-
manned scarcely more ia these cases than
the poetic dust 10 Which the dead return.
The cemetery is quite an old one apd II IS
to be expected that such conditions as
these should exist III this work. A peCui-
iarly interesting story was told there yes
terday afternoon, which goes to snow that
burials were made there at an earlier
period than most people magine
A number of buttons were found in one
grave with lot of ShredS and patches which
are believed to have once been the uniform
OF Continental soldier.
The buttons have oatlastcd all the ether
monuments OF the soldier. and some Of them
are now IN the possession of Scrgt. IOut-
gomery, at the Eighth precinct. The man
in charge Of the cXhumationS said yester-
day that it was the intention OF some of
those who had the buttons to have them
examined by some one skilled in this KIND
OF lore to find out to what period of his
tory they belonged. 1t may be that the
grave from which thcse, buttons were taken
was there before the establishment of the
cemetery and that the only burial suit the
old soldier had was his tattered uniform
in which he braved the bullctsof the British
Hema V have diedinhis bootsand WaSburied

Another case of interest that occurred
some time ago was that OF a soldier of
the Mexican war, who was taken up in
this cemetery. He had been sent on to
this burying ground from South America
When the elimination took place the
wooden casKet had rotted away and the
old soldier was found incased III armor from
head to foot
Attached to the steel cap in front of the
eyes was glass fixture, through which his
friends in a foreign country had taken their
last look at the stranger. This knight
was removed to another cemetery outside

ONE OF THE WORST CASES

The second case is that Of a !qborng
man at Ivy City who has been paying a
monthly interest Of IS -.or a lean of $50.
These cases are chosen because they Involve
small amounts and are not removable by
the ceruorari derrick to the higher courts.
One OF the worst cases yet was put in the
bands OF Messrs. Ralston & Siddons
yesterday. 1t is that OF a hard-working
mechanic at the Navy Yard. In June, '93,
be borrowed $40 from one of the individual
Shylocks. In December he jumped out Of
tue frying pan into the fire. He thought
he would cancel his debt 10 the single Shy
lock by raising money from the Washington
Mortgage Company. Theygayehim enough
to pay off his original note to the first
lender. and between them he is now $3.50
out, and owes besides a note OF $50.
The Times attorneys are having some in
teresting experiences with people who do not
yet understand what their functions are in
relation TO the Shylocll business For in
stance, day or two ago one Of the parties
proposed in a forthcoming divorce suit,
called at the office and desired to enlist
the good offices of The Times lawyers.
THIS caller had evidently mixed up the mar
riage bureau of The Times with somebody
else's divorce bureau. Another caller
wanted to know if suit couldn't be brought
against a man who charged her too much
for hauling load Of furniture that was not
mOTtGaEeu To a store house
