The Graded School Site.

ANDERSON. s. O., March %. 1895.
EDITORS INTELLIaENcER: lam inform
ed that Trustees for Graded School have
located on vacant lot near the 6avannsh
Valley depot. The lot itself is beautiful
enough, but there are two very serions OBJ
jections to surroundings:
1st. It is too near the Railroad with it's
attractions unless other buildings or OBJ
structions cut off the view of that place.
End. The street ia entirely too narrow
for school Of this kind, and it is for the
future not just the present we must work,
for, I suppose the school will last as long
as time. You can't safely and convenient
ly turn buggy around 10 it.. Two wagons
can only pass as on any highway. You
will have to take in all the sidewalk to get
street wide enough. 1t will take as much
money to buy ight of way for new walks,
which ought to be IL or l5 feet wide, as to
buy the lot.
Would 1t not be better before the matter
goes too far to weigh it carefully, for there
must be other places whore you will find
the streets and walks adequate to your
wants, without 30 much extra expense, as
1t all comes from the city.

apparently useless in the roots of the trees
begins to swell and rise in the branches.

Munich from time immemorial. has be

Munich, from time immemorial. has been
renowned for its beer. II has always been
held by Mr.. Carry, president of the National
Capital Brewing Company, that dark beer
could be made here of the same degree of
excellence as in Munich.
The argument was that American grains
are in no respect inferior TO those of Ger
many, and for this reason IL is possible
to make an equally good article IL the
brew-master understood his business.
The medicinal value of Munchener beer
has been readily recognized by the chemists
who have analyzed it. and they unhesi-
tatingly pronounce 1t uneQualed In whole
someness and healthfulness. By physicians
In general 1T is constantly prescribed as a
powerful and at the same time harmless
tonic.
To Messrs. ]. F. Hermann & Son, of $50
to 754 Tenth street southeast, the National
Capital Brewing Company has given the
exclusive right TO bottle their "Munchener
Beer" For the table and family use this
beer stands distinctly first. Every argument
Is in It's favor, one of the best being that it
is duplicate of imported beers with a
domestic price. Don't make the mistake Of
falling to give Munchener' trial at least.

DAYToN'S MINING HORROR
Twenty-nine Men and Thirty Mules
go Killed by the Explosion.
II Is Known the Gas Was Ignited by
the Carelessness of the Official
Gas Inspector.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Dec. 21-The latest
details and corrected account of the Day
ton mine disaster say the number of VIC
tins has rea ched I weDty-nine.
Two bodies recovered are those of ne
groes, which have not been recognized.
William Raddy, a colored lad, was one
OF the last to be brought out. Life had
long been extinct in all the poor remnants
or humanity stretched at the mouth
of the tunnel.
Latest records say that the gas was
first igDited in No. by Tom Ha " kins, gas
inspector, on his usual morning round of
the mines. The flames were rapidly COM
municated to entry No. 10 by means OF
side passages. All the men at work in
entry No. 9 escaped except Ha wilkins.
In No. 10, which forms an angle in the
banks and connects the outside world at
the foot of the lower slope, the deadly gas
drifted and congested, doing its work SO
well that not one of the men at work in
the rooms of this cross-passage is alive
TO teu the story.
Oscar Hawkins, one of the first men
TO get out OF No. 8, will die also, ma king the
twenty-ninth life sacrificed.
The fire was finally subdued late last
night by means OF the powerful currents
OF fresh air forced in from the outside by
the fans. which have been putting the life
current in ever since the flames Were dis
covered.
Thirty mules were numbered in the list Of
Casualties
Out OF 125 men In the mine at the time
there was not one man but felt the effect
of the conclusion and suffered from the bad
air which spread through the passages of
the mine. Elder Morgan, q boy of fourteen
years, son of DR.. W. L. Morgan, ex-post-
master OF Dayton, was among the dead.
= One of the strange facts in connection
with the catastrophe is that none of the
bodies were even singed by fire, although
the flames ragged through the entry, but this
Is doubtless explained by the closeness of
air from the outside In Entry 10, where all
the fatalities occurred.
For many hours after the first alarm was
raised no one was able to approach the
head of the slope, along which the choking
after damp crept, filling every crevice.

Aur,ferous sand in his Crn w

People are now digging Tor gold IN Frank
lin county. Several days ago Charles Nc
Cune found some specks OF gold In the
craw of turkey which he had won at a
rattle. He sent the gold to Prof. Orton,
the State geologst, who pronounced II
gold. but said that some OF the sand from
which the gold came should have been sent
along, In order that some conclusion might
be formed as to the presence of more of the
metal in the same bed. The rest of the con.
tents of the craw, however, had been
thrown away and the sand could not be
furnished. The gobbler did his feeding
along two small streams which unite at
the Canal-Win chester road.-Cjncinnat Il
