Northern Civilization.

Philadelphia, June 20. - The police, to-day, found in the cellar of the dwelling 
No. 2243, North Fifth street, formerly occupied by Dr. Isaac Hathaway, an 
alleged abortionist, the bodies of several children and a large number of human 
bones. Dr. Hathaway was arrested in March, 1881, with Rev. Thos. B. Miller, for 
committing criminal malpractice upon Mary Butler, a servant girl, whose child 
died after the operation. Both were admitted to bail, and Hathaway fled. He, 
however returned to the city some time ago, but was never been rearrested on the 
charge. Three months ago his wife charged him with brutally assaulting her and 
threatening her life. She asked to have a warrant issued for his arrest, but 
subsequently withdrew the charge. She told the officials at that time that her 
husband had performed several criminal operations upon her and that she knew he 
had performed hundreds of others. Up to four o'clock this afternoon 21 skulls or 
portions of skulls of infants had been found buried in the cellar of the 
dwelling. Dr. Hathaway is now int he county prison, charged with assaulting a 
relative. The coroner, this afternoon, lodged a detainer at the prison against 
him.
