FIND MANY SKELETONS.
Great Pile of Human Bones Il In
eartbed by WOrkmen In
Richmond, Va.

City employees at Richmond, Va, the
other day dug trench in the center OF
Fifth street near the almshouse and in
what now is populous district. At a
distance Of two feet they struck large
deposit OF human bones. The skeie-
tons were packed close together, as II
buried in one large grave. Dark STAINS
and shapes in the earth show where COT
fms had once existed.
About 200 skeletons were unearthed
in a trench seven feet wide. No digging
was done on either side and the extent
of the burial place is not known. An
old citizen suggests that the remains
are those of victims of cholera epi-
demic in 1910, when the locality where
they are buried was waste land. The
street grade where the bodies were
found has been lowered several feet in
late years. No soldiers were buried
there during the civil war.
