AN ERROR CORRECTED.
The Soldicrs' Graves in the Gene
terry mt AppOmattox.

APPOMATTOX, May II. 1876.
To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Permit me TO correct the erroneous
statement we so often see in the papers
that there are nineteen Confederates
buried in the Confederate Cemetery at
This place.
Soon after the surrender OF Lee the
Federal authorities undertook TO remove
all their dead to Petersburg, but over
looked one body.
The Ladies' Memorial Association OF
Appomattox. when collecting our dead,
discovered this body, removed II to this
cemetery, and inferred 1t at the south
end of the line OF Confederate graves.
There is nothing TO distinguish this
grave from the rest. and hence the mis-
take. There are nineteen graves. but
one holds the bones Of Union soldier.
The grave OF the Union soldier has In
AL respects been treated like the others.
II Is doubtful If our younger people know
that a Union soldier unites with eighteen
Confederates in keeping silent guard over
the village Of old Appomattox Court
house.
When We remember that this act OF
uniting the Blue and the Gray was done
by our ladies' before the smoke from the
cause they loved above all earthly
things, as well as the destruction OF their
private fortunes, had scarcely been dlssi-
pated. we are struck with amaZement at
the Christian charity which governed
them.
1he hand which. when quick and
strong struck down their hopes and
homes. when dead and powerless became
their particular care.
Since the pen OF Father Ryan IL stilled
forever. Is there another one worthy to
deal with such magnanimity?

FATAL EXPLOSION OF GAS.
Probably Cnused by Lightning-Tw0
Persons Dead.

CHICAGO, ILL, May 1l.-By an ex-
plcs.on of gas at lis o'clock this morning,
in the building No. 10 Sherman street,
thirteen persons were terribly burned.
The lower floor Of the building is occu-
pied by Aug. Melschall as a saloon. and
the two upper floors as clearinghouse.
Meischall jumped out OF a window on
the third floor. and Mrs. Meischall and
her two children were badly burned.
The explosion is supposed to have result
ed from an accumulation OF natural gas
in the basement. There was a heavy bolt
of lightning preceding the explosion, and
the theory OF some OF the firemen is that
this might have ben the cause Of IL.
Later.-Two victims of the Sherman
street explosion have died. August Mel
schall. who jumped from the third floor,
sustaining serious internal, as well as
external injuries died at st. Luke's Hos
pital. and Alexander Dune. terribly burned
from head to foot, died at the county hos
pltal. The other victims OF the explosion
are reported 10 be getting along very
badly. and there will probably be other
deaths Soon
