regulations and the annual appropria-

were regularly provided for in. times OF
peace. much misery and expense would
be guarded against in the only prac-
ticable way.

muster out regiment after regiment Of
trained men and at the same time en-
deavor to create new regiments not

only trained men to the front. and how
to accomplish it with the best results

it is our duty to disseminate military
instruction and knowledge among the

due the national guard and those COL

volunteer or other officers, and we
should do for them the best we can
far better than we ever have done.

GAS FORMED SUDDENLY.
Speculation as to How the Disaster
Occurred.

Pittsburg,. Dec. 23.-The Braznell
mine is new pit opened one year ago.
The regular crew is $50 men, and it is
stated at the company's offices in Pitts
burg that a full crew was to have gone
to work today. 1t is also stated that
the force of the explosion was terrific
and destroyed the cages and tipple.
The pit is a shaft mine which goes
straight down about 500 feet. The re-
gion in which the mine is located is
noted for the gaseous nature of the
coal Is is apt to gather very suddenly.
The explosion was caused by miner
naked light, such being in general use
in these mines in spite of repeated
warnings. A little over a year ago
eight men were killed outright in an
other mine not far from the scene of
foday's explosion.

The Grave of Dick Bowling Is Lo
Gated.

The Grave of Dick Bowling Is Lo-
Gated.
The publication OF the request for In
formation concerning the exact location OF
Dick Dowlings grave brought forth the
desired information yesterday.
Mr.. r. Lee Schwander, county attorney,
remembered having visited the grave on
Decoration day several years ago, when
he saw the late Jack White place his en-
blems upon it. He said he remembered
distinctly the grave upon which these en-
blems were placed and II Captain White
knew the grave he could point out the
grave that Captain White decorated.
With this information Mr. Schwander
and a Post reporter proceeded to the Cath
Ollie cemetery, terribly neglected bury
ing ground. and there among lot OF wild
underground Mr. Schwander readily point
ed out the grave that he remembered TO
have seen decorated The grave is un-
marked and overgrown with weeds and is
the central grave of a group of three In
the same enclosure. II is about thirty
yards from the gate on the left hand SIDE
of what may be taken for the main walk.
Mr., Schwander's father and mother and
grandfather and other members of the
Schwander FAMILY are buried IN lot ABOUT
twenty feet behind the Bowling grave.
Immediately adjoining the Bowling lot to
the rear and al one corner Is the Hennes-
sey lot, where Mrs. p II. Hennessey was
buried in 1851. and other graves just to
the rear of the Bowling Tot are those of
Nora Butler. buried in 1885, and Catherine
Maroney. buried in 1880. The grave of
John Ciemow, who died in 1891 and Pat
rick Sullivan. who died in 1852 are the
two graves Immediately in front of the
Bowling lot and the only graves between
it and the walk
This information as to the description
of the location was subsequently corrobo-
rated by Mr. C. c. Beavens, ST., who has
recently visited the grave with the sister
of Dick bowling Mrs. II. Norris, who
resides with Mrs. T p. Hennessey at 2709
Mckinney avenue, and who can readily
point out the grave whenever its identity
is necessary.
