THE WORK OF GHOULS.
A Flourishng Trade in Corpses Tn.
earthed in Washington.

Washington, Feb. 0.-Owing to a mis-.
understanding on addresses on large
box left at the Baltimore and Ohio de-
pot in this city, to be forwarded by eX-
press, the existence of trade in corpses
for dissecting purposes has been I'M
earthed. The box bore two addresses,
and the employees of the United States
Express company were undecided as to
which address it should be sent. After
the box had been Mt the station all day
the employees forced it's cover and one
of them thrust in his hand, hoping that
the contents would Indicate whether the
box should be given to Baltimore or De-
troit, which were the two addresses. The
employe caught hold of human foot
The box was then opened and was found
to contain the bodies of two women. At
first it appeared that murder had been
committed and that the bodies of the
victims were being shipped out of town.
The bodies were entirely nude and one
was that of an old colored woman. The
other seemed to be the corpse of Il white
woman, % years of age. After work
ing all day the detectives came to the
conclusion that the bodies had been
shipped by grave robbers.
1t has been learned that Il regular sys-
TEN for shipping the bodies stolen from
the cemeteries about Washington exists.
The work has been carried on with as
tonishing holiness and dozens of bod
les have been sent out of town recently.
This box was addressed to Angus Nc
Lane, 223 Pelham street, Detroit, Mich.
Larger boxes sent by the same set of
men have been forwarded to New Haven
and Hartford, Conn, Baltimore and
other cities. Some were so heavy as to
leave the belief that they contained three
bodies,

NEWS FROM CURA

Havana. Feb. Blast night the insur-
| gents entered the village of Calvario. Is
miles from Havana, and burned the re-
| cords there and captured two policemen.
This morning they went in the direction
of Colora.
When General Marin arrived at Can
delerla after the attack of Maceo upon
| that town had been rcpulsed. he offered
ms congratulations to the garrison and
the people upon their heroic defense. He
offered title to the town and decorated
all its defenders with the red cross of
military merit, and those amongst the
garrison who had most distinguished
| themselves he decorated with the cross
or San Fernando. 1t is now reported
| that members of the garrison, which con-
sisted of 700 volunteers, saw 10000 cav
airy passing Candeleria from church
towards the village. A letter signed by
Maceo and Miro was then written to the
colonel of the volunteers, Ahumara, and
to the priest, demanding the surrender
of the village. This was refused
1t is admitted that Notwithstanding the
defense offered several of the insurgents
succeeded in entering the town and burn

mel Canella came to the assistance of the
hard pressed garrison. Several of the
insurgent dead were found in the town
church yard.
The insurgents have arrested a promi-
nent family on the plantation of Santa
Creila
Colonel Canella has been the recipient
of some not very gentle attentions from
the so-called Amazons who are in the
field with the insurgents. Recently he
saw one of these women warrior riding
on horseback with her loosened hair
streaming behind her, and she called upon
the men who We're following her to fire
upon the troops.

o'clock this morning train running
toward Havana was derailed at the sta
ton of Goveau and several cars were de-
stroyed. The accident was believed to
have been due to the bad condition of the
temporary track. Another train arrived

ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES
Skeletons of Cliff Dwelers of Heroic
Size Found Along the Tennessee.

n number of important archaeological
discoveries are being made in the bluffs
along the Tennessee river, near Florence,
Ala. few days ago party of F'loren-
tines made an important discovery in n
cave high up in the bluff, near Bainbridge
Ferry, Il few miles above Florence. The
cave is far above high water, and is ac-
cessible only by means of a ladder 80 feet
long. Within the cave We're found hui
man bones and curious pottery. The
bones bore evidence of having belonged
to race heroic in size. and the pottery is
unlike any found in the Indian mounds
in this section. The cave is q large one,
and leading off from it are several small
er cayerns which appear to have been
the work of men. Old residents in the
neighborhood tell of another cave which
was found near the same place years ago,
but which was closed by an earthquake,
The bluff ut the point where this last
cave was found is fully 200 feet high. and
1t is believed there are other caves in il
similar to the one explored, that have
been closed up with large rocks by the
people who used them as a burial place
for their dead.
Some months ago similar cave was
found below Sheffield by parties from
Barton station, which had been cleverlv
closed, and in it were also found human
bones and pottery.
1t is thought that race of cliff or cave
jewellers once made their homes in the
bluffs along the Tennessee, and the bones
and pottery recently discovered are be-
lieved to belong to a race which has been
extinct for many centuries.-St. Louis

Policeman McGonough arrived just too
late to catch Carl, red-handed with his
brothers blood. A child had run to the
corner and informed him, but as soon as
Herman had fallen Carl jumped over the
fence and made his escape.
When Herman was brought to the hos

dozen different directions and the left

FAVORS 4 TUNNEL.


Cleveland, Feb. 9.-General William
Sooy Smith of Chicago, in Il letter to
Harvey ID. Goulder. general counsel of
the Lake Carriers association, advocates
the building of tunnel under the De-
troit river instead of bridge across it..
He estimates the cost of such tunnel
at S3,O00,000, saying that "A bridge, ex-
elusive of right-of-way and land dam
ages, would cost $4O00,000.
In conclusion he says:
Believing, rs | do, that tunnel is in
every way preferable to bridge. | can
not conceive what good reason the rail
road companies that must furnish the
means to build the crossing can have for
building an inferior structure when the
better one will surely cost ut least % per
cent less. And if these companies fail
to reach the right conclusion, reasoning
from the standpoint of their own inter
ests, has not the nation at large some
voice in the matter when such far-reach-
ing interests are involved"
