KATE GIERscH KILLED.
She Was Familiar Figure to D., l..
& w. Railroad Men.

Kate Giersch. an old woman who for
many years tended the "Y" at Pocono
Summit. was found dead near the
track at six o'clock Thursday evening.
1t is presumed that she was killed by
a freight train.
How the accident happened no one
will ever know. Conductor Joseph
Myers, of East Stroudsburg, found the
body in a ditch at the south end of the
"Y." Both legs were broken at the
knees. There were no other serious
injuries. although the body was badly
confused, presumably from being
thrown. The township authorities will
bury the remains.
For more than n quarter of a CEN
tury "Old Kate" Giersch has been a
familiar figure to the Delaware, J.acR-
awanna and Western railroad men as
they passed UP and down the road.
Her husband, who was found dead in
bed some months ago, was given the
position of cleaning off the ashes at
the Summit "Y." For ten years or
thereabouts he was in bad health and
Kate did his work, besides looking at
ter her household duties and tending
a small truck patch and a COW or two.
AT one time she was quite well-to
do, owning several houses AMI other
real estate.

REORGANIZATION OF
NATIONAL GUARD
PRINCIPAL CHANGES AFFECTED
BY THE NEW ACT.
Thirty Additional Companies Pro-
vided for--Regiments to Have
Three Battalions of Four Com.
panies Each, and an Additional
Major Allowed for the Third Bat
talion-New Office of Regimental
Commissary Created - Engineer
and Signal Corps Created.

Local officers of the National Guard
yesterday received from Adjutant GEN
eral Stewart copies of the new act pro-
viding for the reorganization of the
National Guard and which was ap-
proved by Governor Stone this week
The work of reorganization will be-
gin at once. Under the new act the
Guard will conform generally to the
system of discipline. exercise. arma-
ment and equipment in vogue in the
regular army.
The new guard will consist of $50
companies instead of $50. as at present:
five troops of cavalry and five batteries
of artillery instead of three each, as at
present; and there will be newly or
ganized a four-company corps of en-
gineers and a one-company corps of
signal men, neither of which the guard
at present has in it's makeup.
There will likely be fifteen regiments,
each having three battalions of four
companies each. An additional major
will be assigned each regiment to take
charge of the third battalion. The lieu
tenant colonel. who now has charge of
one of the three battalions, will under
the new system have nothing particu-
lar to do when the colonel is about.
The positions of regimental adjutant
and quartermaster are advanced to the
captaincy rank and the office of regi-
mental commissary is established with
the rank of first lieutenant. Battalion
adjutants are advanced in rank from
second lieutenant to first lieutenant. 1t
is likely that there will be five brigades
instead of three, as at present. Bat
TALON sergeant majors are provided for.
Infantry companies are made up as
follows Captain, first lieutenant, Sec
ond lieutenant, first sergeant, four other
sergeants, eight corporals, two music
ians. thirty-five to forty-five privates.
Each company is allowed a clerk to be
detailed by the captain.
Company commanders. upon the ap-
proval of the colonel, may discharge
any enlisted man of his company be-
fore effecting reorganization. Officers
commissions continue for their unex-
pired period.
The Eleventh regiment will be in
the provisional brigade commanded by
General Gopin, which will take part
