VOUXH SAWBONES.
Where You See Him ia all HU Glory
A Peep Into ft DiMecting
Room Where the Bodies Come
From How They are Prepared
The Law of Pennsylvania on
the Subject The Famous
"Resurrectionist,'!
Did you ever behold young Sawbones la all
his elory when, with the scalpol In his bloocty
l.anl, upon the rigid c-ulaver which lay stretched
upon the dissecting table before him, he traces
a chining nerve through all Its ramifications, or
separate one deltatues tissue from another?
To those who have not enjoyed this
rare felicity, wo purpose to destrlbe him as he
appears each week-day nign,t. Among the many
l:tces in our city which to the great mass of
j c' i le are cloaked in an almost impenetrable
mjflery are
THE PI88ECTINO-ROOM8.
Of these the general public have but a vague
idea, as to the particulars of their location; and
are far from ponpesMng any definite knowledge
on the subject. From Dame Rumor they have
learned a little; but by reason of a natural
timidity, and a powerful" misgiving that If they
attempt to penetrate into these adyta of medi
cine and surgery they will be rewarded by a
harsh rebuke, or, what Is very possible," an
ej ctment i armis, they hesitate from any
effort at un veiling the mystery, and remain per
force no wiser.
MEDICAL 8TCDENT8
are accounted a graceless set of scamps, "nrone
to wander into by and forbidden paths," full of
evil themes and wicked devices. Their immo
rality is recognized; for rarely a Sunday passes
but come divine announces a discourse for their
particular benefit, and to which, both from the
pulpit and through the medium of the press,
their earnest attention is invited a distinction
which other classes of scholars are not com
monly known to receive, and demonstrating
that the young medicos are in need of clerical
exhortation. While it has been pointedly ob
served by some philosophers that medicine and
morals go "hand in hand," it is in the main
quite certain that the medical student has a dis
position to master the one and overrate the
importance and Ignore the other; and teo often
their Alma Mater stands aghast at the
IMPUDENT AUDACITY
and cool daring of her progeny. When the
medical student matriculates, and enters upon
the study of the human anatomy, he is inspired
with an ambition to prosecute his important
investigations on the fresh subject. It is but
little satisfaction to him to dissect a manikin
made by some skilful Frenchman; to remove
layers of mock-flesh, strip off great clusters cf
muscles, and take off limb by limb, uutil one
sees only a hideous torso, by just removing a
few pins, when he knows that in a room over
head bis brothers are revelling over the freshly
embalmed subject just imported from the Alms
bouse or Totter's field. Forthwith he acquaints
the demonstrator with his passion for livelier
work, is referred to the janitor, pays his money,
and in twenty-four hours Is overwhelmed in the
contemplation of the body of a cadaverous
pauper and its subsequent dismemberment.
BODY BNATCHER8.
Before our State laws were framed to meet
the great want of medical colleges subject
our readers will remember the many horrible
tales of body snatching, when at
"the very witching hour of night
When churchyards yawned," '
the graves were robbed of their dead. Our city
has in time past been often intensely agitated
by such horrible occurrences. But when a
liberal law was enacted these excitements sub
sided, from the belief every one had that the
supply from legitimate sources would be ample
for the wants of the colleges. The act which
governs this matter, passed la the session of
1807, reads thus:
THE LAW OP 186T.
An Actor the Promotion of iltdical Science and lo
J'rtrent the Traffic in Human Bodie in the City of
Philadelphia and County of Allegheny,
Section 1. Be it enacted, etc., That any public
oillcer in the city or Philadelphia and county of
Allegheny, having charge thereof or control over
the came, shall give permission to any physician or
surgeou uf the same city and county, upon his re
quest made therefor, to take the bodies ot deceased
persons required to be burled at the public expense,
to be by him ubed within the Mate lor the advance
ment of medical science, preference being given to
ruedicnl schools, public and private, and said Dodles
t ) be distributed to and among the same equitably,
the number assigned to each being proportioned co
that of Its students: Provided, however, that if the
deceased person, during his or or her last sickness,
of his or her own accord, shall request to be buried ;
or if any person claiming to be and satisfying the
proper authorities that lie is of kindred to the de
ceased shall ask to have the body for burial, it shall
lie mrreudered for interment; or If such deceased
person was a stranger or traveller who died sud
denly, Hie body shall be burled and shall not be
handed over as aforesaid.
(Section 8. Every physician or surgeon, before re
caivlng any such dead body, hhall give to the proper
authorities surrendering the same to hlmasuillcient
bond i hat each body shall be used only for the pro
motion of medical science within this State. Aud
whosoever shall use such body or bpdles for any
other purpose, or shall remove the same beyond the
limits of tills State, and whosoevvr shall sell or buy
such body or hoales, or in any way traitlc In the
su rue, .shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor,
and stiall, on conviction, be imprisoned for a term
noc exceeding five years at hard labor in the county
jail.
WHERE THE BUBJECTS COME FROM.
The Almshouse and the Coroner's oOlce are
the prolific sources whence comes the supply
of subjects for dissection. How they are re
moved from these places, when and to what
particular institutions, la known to but a few
persons, and they are very close mouthed.
After seventy-two hours, say the rules of the
new Morgue, the unclaimed body shall be
burled; but as a supplement to these rules was
but recently enacted, to the effect "that any
regular physician may embalm an unclaimed
body, with the permission of the Coroner,"
it will at once clearly appear that instead of
being removed to the field for sepulture, they
will at once go to the college, where, as is
stipulated by the law, they shall be used for the
advancement of medical science.
THEIR PRICE.
But while the law again says "The said
bodies shall be distributed among the medical
colleges equitably," therefore leaving one to
imagine that no expense (save that of transpor
tation) would be involved to the students, they
experience no such, happy condition oi attalra
Twenty dollars is the average price they pay
lor a cadaver, and the quotations nuctuate ac
cording to the hygienic condition of the paupers
and the extremes of weather. It would be quite
an expensive veuture tor one student to pur
chase by and for himself: and to mitigate it.
four usually combine in the buying of a sub
ject, aud take each a limb, leaviug the vital
parts to be dissected by the demonstrator, ac-
couapantea by an explanatory lecture.
A HIDEOUS PLACE.
Let us look into the medical depart me at of

and into a special apartment of it. An almost
overpowering nausea assails us. With every

Would yon witness tne terr0rs of the dissecting-room?
Vp,- no Tacma.ion of purpose.
Evince no tlm 4( qUall as the doors
open, ana t tainted air, like a besom, sweeps
upon yor ih) jn wlth tne crowd where there
r0 '' many you will escape discovery. As
yr enter, a thrill of horror overcomes you. A
frightfully-repulsive scene meets the eye. lie
fore you exiena two rows ot tables, eacn
freighted with a ghastly burden, over which a
score of enthusiastic isawbonofl hover with
fiendish enthusiasm, making you believe that
"Thry are neither brute nor human
They are ghouls."
Upon some of the tables you descry bodies,
some shapely in form, as yet untouched by the
scalpel, and partially covered with coffee-bags
or oil-cloths. Upon others, 3'ou see the subject
disembowelled, with an arm or leg missing, and
with its flesh laid open, where the student tins
been tracing the arterial system, and covered
with masses of gory muscles. Upon another a
hideous, eyeless head, or a torso in process of
reduction to a shapeless, distorted, disgusting
mass of human flesh. And over all these tables,
Picking with tweencrs and knife, are the
students, some with sleeves rolled up, and thus
untrammelled in their bloody labors; some witn
bandages about the mouth to prevent the taint
ing odors from Infecting their lungs. Here,
from early dusk until late at night, they slash
and cut, and saw with the utmost energy and
sang froid. Here it is you behold younir Saw
bones in all his glory i
THE CHIEP BOILER
There is here a man, whose look is in keeping
with his repulsive calling, who boils and
bleaches the bones of the subjeots, that the stu
dents have stripped as far as possible of flesh.
The bones, it is said, he lays upon the roof of
the building to be whitened, and then Bends
them off to be articulated. He makes his living
by boiling skeletons at $12 each.
THE "RESURRECTIONIST
is the one who procures the bodies for the stu
dents, w here he gels them, or bow he frets
them, legitimately or by a 83 stem of scavenger-
ing, is never questioned, ihls is his vocation
to scour for subjects for the students, whether
they come from the Almshouse, the prisons, the
hospitals, the Morgue, the 1 otters-field, or the
graveyards.
OTHER DISSECTING" ROOMS.
Having seen one, you become familiar with
the transactions of those at the University of
Pennsylvania, Jefferson College, the Philadel
phia University, the Eclectic College, aud all
the many private dissecting-rooms in the city.
They all proceed upon the same general plan.
All present the same disgusting scenes. All
get their subjects from the same source. Some
times tbey are brought to the colleges in
"broad daylight" in provision wagons, and
thns suspicion is warded off. In many instances
they are delivered in bags.
But we must draw the curtain on these
horrors.
PRESBYTERY MEETING.
Meetlncof the Philadelphia Presbytery Keen
lar iiUNlneHM.
A stated meeting of the Presbytery of Phila
delphia was be:d this morning, at 10 o'clock, in
the Old Pine Street Presbyterian Church, Pine
street, above Fourth, the Moderator in the
chair. The proceedings were opened with de
votional exercises. The minutes of previous
meetings were read and approved.
A motion was passed stating that In future
all meetings of presbytery should be called bv
means of printed circulars from the stated
clerk.
The committee on the West Chesnut Street
Church made a report. They reported that the
church was organized by the reception of thir
teen members. The report was received and the
church placed on the list of the presbytery.
The committee on the German Street Church
reported ttat, the congregation of that church
have agreed to remain in their old location.
A communication was read from the congre
gation of the West Chesnut Street Church, ask
ing that their pastor, Dr. Nevin, be referred to
the Missionary Board for aid to the amount of
six hundred dollars per annum for two years,
at the end of which time the congregation say
that they will be able themselves to raise all
required of them, and themselves contribute to
the board from which they now ask aid. The
communication was preeented from a special
committee, who were unable to agree, and who
ask the presbytery to decide for them.
It was laid unjn the table for the present, for
the reason that the congregation had not as yet
legally elected their pastor.
An invitation was received from Dr. Crowell,
asking presbytery to hold its next stated meet
ing in the Second Presbyterian Church. Ac
cepted. A regular call from the West Chesnut Street
Presbyterian Church, asking for the services of
Rev. Alfred Nevin as pastor, was presented aid
received.
Dr. Nevin stated that he accepted the call.
The church was started last August in a parlor
of a private bouse in West Philadelphia, lie
s-eid that the aid was aBked from the Board of
Missions because the work was prosperous,
and promised better results than other older
churches, which have never got on with ail
their help. It seems that the commltteo do not
like to help it, because it is too prosperous.
If they wish, we can go ahead more siowly;
then, Lerhaps, they will help us. The money is
needed, but if it is not given we will go ahead
uet the same, as well as we can, without it.
It was stated that the injunction on the
church was a question of right only. The
railroad company did not desire to disturb the
congregation, but that at some future time they
remove from their ground. The company
merely wanted their title fully declared on the
records of the court. The church do not ex
pect nor do they want to remain upon the
ground for any great length of time. The
building there is .only temporary. They ex
pect to put up a fine permanent building In
another location at no very late day.
The call of Dr. Nevin was acted upon fa
vorably. The report of the committee, embracing the
application of the West Chesnut Street Church
for aid from the Board of Missions, was taken
from the table and discussed.
On motion, the request of the congregation
was recommended to the board for the amount
asked.
A committee ef three was appointed to report
suitable action on the recent death of a member
of presbytery.-
An application was received from Rev. Mr.
Neil!, a Presbyterian clergyman, asking for
missionary work from the presbytery. He had
been a missionary in both Carolina and Califor
nia in former years, but was obliged to stop
work for a while on account of ill health. As
his health Is now better, he wishes to go to work
again. The matter was referred to an appro
priate committee.
After the transaction of some unimportant
business the presbytery adjourned until after
noon. Sneak Thieves in Custody Thomas Wil
son and Charles Kutter were caught yesterday
morning in the residence of Mr. Stowe, Frout
street, below Morris, while in the act of wrap
ping up some clothing to carry oft. Mr. Stowe
Interfered with the thieves iu their little opera
tion, and the result was that they turned on him
and "used a blackjack on his bead. The scoun
drels then escaped, leaving their plander behind
tbem. Yesterday afternoon Policeman Nugent
came across the offenders and took them into
cuBtodv. Thev had a hearing before Alderman
Lutz. and were bound over for a further inves
tigation. .
Accident. About balf-paet 5 o'clock this
morning John Belttle, residing at No. 1235 Fitz

A l ie, at 'i o'clock thla morning, destroyed
mar'., ten thousand dollars worth of properly
on' inklings owned by Mesrs. E. K. Tryou, Jr.,
& Co., In the rear of No. 20 N. Second street.
Kunnlng back from Second struct a distance
of about 2100 feet is a five-storied brick struc
ture, terminating in a two-story brick building,
the first floor of which is used as an engine
room and the second floor by Richard Pendle
bury, manufacturer of woollen bobbins. Back
ing the latter is a three-storied structure, lu the
basement of which a colored man named C.
Green carries on the manufacture of hominy;
the first floor is unoccupied; the sccoud
story is devoted by Messrs. Hoffman Sons to
wood-turniDg and working lu pearl, Ivory, and
bone. The firm were pretty extensively en
gaged in making bone and ivory sleeve buttons,
harness rings, crochet needles, etc. The third
story is taken up by three parties, viz., Mr.
Grass, manufacturer of bungs; Charles Baltz,
wood-turner; and Mr. Eggling, who is also a
wood-turner. Each of these parties had con
siderable stock on hand, together with the
lathes, tools, and other machinery.
The fire originated in the engine-room, en
tered the second story, and destroyed entirely
Mr. Pcndlebury's property, which consisted of
a full stock, and eleven lathes and other neces
sary machinery. Ills loss is not at present
known.
The flames then entered the econd-story
windows of the rear building, and consumed
about one-half of the stock and machinery of
Messrs. Hoffman & Sons; then eutered the third
story, and destroyed its contents, together with
a portion of the roof.
Messrs. Tryon & Co., the owners of the rear
building, have an insurance of $500 in the
Koyal Insurance Company, which will probably
cover the loss.
The engine-house is almost a wreck. It is
not Insured.
Hoffman & Sons lose about $2000. which is
covered by $1500 Insurance. The loss of Mr.
lialtz is about a(K), and that of Mr. Grass cannot
be more than flOOO. The portion occupied by
Mr. EggliDg received damage by water only;

jur. ureen, en the basement, had a stock of
hominy worth $200 and some machinery. He
is protected by an insurance of $400.

Burglary in thb Twentieth Ward The
Knife and Pistol About 12 o'clock on Sun
day night last a daring burglary was perpetrated
at the residence No. 1518 North Twelfth street,
in the Twentieth ward. An entrance was
effected in "jimmying" the kitchen door. The
burglars were four in number. They proceeded
direct to tne oed-cuamber 01 the occupants,
where they overhauled the bureau drawers, and
secured plunder to the value of several hundred
dollars, including two gold watches and $30 in
cash. The occupants were aroused by the
racket created by the thieves, but they could
make no resistance, as two of the parties stood
at the side of the bed, one with a knife and the
other with a pistol la hand. Tbey threatened
to kill them if they gave aisy alarm. As soou
as the burglars left the premises, the window
was hoisted and an alarm sounded, but the
scoundrels had in the meantime escaped. The
police lieutenant who reported this oase to
headquarters could not give the liame of the
party who suffered.
Operations of the Girard Estate. There
are in Girard College 209 pnpils born within the
old city limits and 335 who are natives of other
parts of our State, and upon the list of appli
cants for admission are the names of thirty-five
poor, fatherless boys. Applicants who are
natives ot the city have no preference In ad mis
sion over those who are born in the most distant
counties of Pennsylvania. From a condensed
statement of the affairs of the Girard Trust, we
learn that the par value of its securities is
$1,122,554-21. The receipts of the estate during
lo70, from collieries, city Joans, leases of pro
rertv (including the transfer of an unexpended
balance of $105.092 00 to the Directors of the
City Trusts on March 1) amounted to $767,141-97.
The expenditures for the same period aggre'
gated $747,296 92, leaving a balance in the trea
sury on December 81, 1870. of $19,81505,
Among the items of expense we find $54,945 for
taxes, $52,027 for building dwelling-houses on
Sixth street, below Brown. $326,000 as a tempo
rary investment, and $1859 for the widening of
ater street.
Robbery of Sewing Silks. Last evenln
the store of J. & A. Kemper, No. 33 South
Fourth street, was broken Into by thieves, who
carried oil sewing buks to the value 01 $450.
the property of a young man, who occupied a
portion of the first floor as a salesroom. The
robbers had secreted themselves in the building
No. 81 South Fourth street previous to its being
doped up, and when night came they proceeded
to the roof, and then scaled the roof of No. S3,
which was some four feet higher than No. 31.
They made an operation on the skylight of
Met-srs. Kempers establishment, and then
lowered themselves down. That they took
notbincr from Kemper's manufactory is sur
prlblng. The robbery was committed early In
the evening, as the private watchman found the
door open at 10 o ciock.
Pneak TniEF. Early this morning a mn
glvicg the name of Alfred Thomas was found In
a room iu tho house of Mrs. Glenn, No. 1005
Race street. The key was ou the outside of the
door. This key the people who found him
there took the opportunity to turn, and Thomas
was uiuQo a prisoner. An oulcer was sent ior,
and the supposed thief was taken into custody,
He bad a hearing before Alderman Jones, and
was held in $1000 bail to answer. As to his
guilt or innocence the opinion of the police is
divided. That of ( Ulcer Smith Is that he had
an eye to the spoons. Officer Jones, on the
contrary, attributes the visit of Mr. Thomas to
an attack of the tender passion inspired by the
rbaims of the servant trirl in Mrs. Glean'
