The Rank and File

While we must honor the memory of
such generals as Grant, Sherman and
Sheridan, believing them to be as great
soldiers as ever sat in saddle, let us teach
our children to gather flowers for the
graves of the soldiers who obeyed their
commands and who carried to their deaths
the wounds indicative Of their loyalty and
bravery. The war is over. The victory Is
ours. The Union stands. We are still
citizens of the greatest and grandest coun-
try upon the face Of the globe. The glory
Of the victory belongs to the men who
fought in the ranks, and through this VIC
tory we have secured some national bless

thankful as q nation.-Selected

Sad Scenes in and About the Braxe-
nell Mine.


nell Mine.
BROWNSVILLE, Pa, Dec. 25-Work'
at Brazenel mine is progressing very
slowly. The country roads from Browns
vile to the mine are almost impossible,
and there Is no telegraph or telephone
connections with the Brazenell. All news
from the mine has been brought over
land. Four more bodies have been re-
covered, but not identified Some of the
families of the doomed men are in
suffering condition, and provisions are
being sent out by the Brownsville mer-
chants as we'll as from Uniontown. The
men who have been working since Sat
urday to recover the bodies are almost
exhausted, yet they refuse TO give up,
and keep at the grim work doggedly,
though more dead than alive
The fact that last Saturday was pay
day at the mine, and that there were no
empty wagons to load, accounts for many
not going into the mine Had the acci-
dent occurred on any other day there
would have been more than a hundred
men in the mine and the results would
have been even more appalling than they
We're.
The scenes around the morgue yester-
day and today were such as to bring
tears to many stout heart. AS the
burned and bleeding bodies were carried
would fight to get to the corpse and when
held back by strong arms, would plead
pitifully to be allowed to enter the
morgue and find their lost ones. II is
an occurrence that can never be for
gotten by any one who witnessed it.
Some of the bodies have been removed
to their homes, and will be buried today.
A pathetic story is told of little Albert
Meese, who died after being rescued.
10 from
He went to the window Saturday morn
ing and looked out, saying to his ia; her:
Papa, guess there is no use of me
going to work this morning, as there is
no loadening."
The father said he had better go and
help him feed the mules. They both
started out together and never returned
to their home alive.
Sad is the Christmas day to many a
family about Brazenell In fact the ex-
citement caused by the terrible accident
has driven all thought of the holiday
festivities from the homes of all who
live in the neighborhood, even those who
| have no friends killed. The search for
the bodies still goes on
The mine officials admit that two or more
bodies are still in the mine, but reports
of the Slavonlc society, members of which
! have made house-to-house canvass, are
| that eight of their number alone are in
= the wreck, and how many others they do
| not know.
| That naked lights and unlocked safety
lamps were used in dangerous mine was
| officially confirmed today by Pit Boss
| Thomas Jones, who made statement
which forms the most sensational chap
| ter on the management of the mine which
! has yet developed. Mr.. Jones was asked
| If 1t was true that he last Tuesday morn
| ing issued general order that the min
| ers could dispense with safety lamps
Yes, sir was the reply.
why did you issue the order?"
| Il considered that the mine was safe as
the break through had been fixed up
Safety lamps were used before Tues
| day?''
| Yes"

FEWER MIXED MARRIAGES.
Catholics and PrOtestants Will Find
1t Difficult to Wed.

NEW YORK. Dec. 25.-Archbishep Cor
rigan has transmitted to the clergy of the
diocese a decree from the vatican bearing
on the celebration of the jubilee Of the
holy year. One effect of the decree will
be to make difficult the marriage of a
Catholic to a Protestant by priest in
1900 Mixed marriages, as they are com
monty termed, are customarily allowed
only by dispensation of the bishops, but
for the holy year this power is suspended.
In his circular, Archbishop Corrigan
says that the pope suspends special facul-
ties to ordinaries of dioceses so that, at
this season, in particular, Rome is the
great fountain of mercy and spiritual
favors for the Catholics of the entire
world" This is understood in Catholic
circles to mean that only by applying di-
rect to Rome shall dispensations be
granted during the year 1900.
