THE OLD BRADDOCk ROAD.
Daughters Of the Revolution Mark
Historic Highway.

The committee of the Daughters OF
the Revolution of which Mrs. William
Fl. Talbot Of Rockville, is chairman
reported to the convention the mark,
ing of the old Braddock road. The
report as published in the dispatches
does not indicate what part OF the
trail was marked. General Braddock
landed with his army at Alexandria
Va. He divided his troops there, one
body going westward through Vir-
GINA by way Of Winchester. The
main body, under command of the
General in person, crossed over TO
Maryland, landing at or near George
town. The line Of march WAS through
the centre of what is now Montgom-
cry county to Frcdcricktown. In that
town the troops rested while DR..
"Bcn" Franklin was gathering wag-
ons for The transportation Of supplies.
The route from Frederick was along
what is now the Western road, eros
sing Catoctin Mountains at Braddocli
Heights, through Middlctown and
through Turner's Gap, in South Noun
tain, to the present site of Boons-
boro. Thence the route went across
what is now Washington county to a
settlement then known as Conoco-
cheague, where the creek of that
name flows into the Potomac. There
the army crossed into Virginia, and
some miles farther on reunited with
the other troops. Farther west the
army recrossed into Maryland and
went through Fort Cumberland, near
ly along the course of the old national
pike. 1t was near this road that
Braddock was buried. His grave
was marked, and in order to save the
delay occasioncd by passengers IN
the stages insisting on visiting the
grave ~ 10 SCllll JllttI a. cttSS "'''>'
moved the marker nearer the road.
There is much history and many TO
mantle stories and Incidents connect
cd with the old Maryland trails. The
road in Southern
MARYLAND was so called, according to
Tradition hncausr it. WAS marked
the forest by three notchcs
cut in tho trees in recognition Of
George Ill. There are several "koI-
ling Roads" i'm tho State over which
hogshcads of tobacco were rolled III
early times. The Daughters Of tic
Revolution will 10 well to discover
and mark these ancient trails and /"
put their historians TO work on them.

street found young man lying upo'

corner of Wolfe and Pitt streets wei

head from which the gore was flow

yond human aid and that his death
was inevitable, and he expired at an
early hour this morning. a brother
of the dead man, it was learned, dis
charged the pistol and walked away
after the shooting.
The police later found the bro

Upon being taken in custody ne al

PRZEMYSL SURRENDERS
| TO RUSSIAN BESIEGERS

Petrograd, via London ~ The garri-
son of Przemysl, which capitulated to
the Russian army Tuesday, surrend-
cred without fight.
The hosting of the white flag over
this fortress. which was Tsaid to be on
the point Of surrender on a number of
occasions, caused little surprise, as it
was generally known that it was in a
terribly weakened condition, without
food or ammunition, and its endurance
was only question Of days.
War Office advices report that nine
Austrian generals were taken, more
than 800 officers and so, 900 men.
The Russian general commanding
the investing army has been decorated
with st. Georges cross.
A heavy snow storm failed to check
the enthusiastic demonstrations in
which the civil and military population
united when the fall of Przemysl was
announced. The crowds, floundering
in deep drifts which tied up street
traffic, cheered the officers and soldiers
who remained to participate in the
celebration.
From the Kazan Cathedral, the
strains Of the national anthem swelled
in volume as the crowd gathered, and
from other points throughout the city
mysteriously hidden behind the dense
curtain Of falling snow, music burst
forth and added to the general spirit
of enthusiasm.
The moral effect of the victory on
Russia, it is expected, will be great,
awakening hopes that this will be the
turning point in the Galician and Car
pathian campaign.
The ending of the long siege is con-
sidered here of great Importance. It
gives Russia control Of virtually all of
Eastern Galicia and releases for serv-
ice elsewhere the Russian army which
has been besieging the city.

Avalanche Buries Fifty
Miners, Wives and Babes

Britannia Beach, B. C.-Fifty sleep
ing miners were killed and 20 injured
when a landslide of snow and earth
broke away from the upper workings
Of the mines here Sunday night and
swept through the settlement, engulf-
ing every building in its path.
Eighteen of the dead have been re-
covered. Rescue parties worked all
day in the debris, while doctors and
nurses who arrived in a special steam
er from Vancouver cared for the in
jured.
OF the dead several are women and
children living in homes in the path of
the avalanche. The greatest number
Of deaths occurred in the bunkhouse
and cookhouse, which were caught in
the slide, carried distance down the
mountain and finally buried under the
debris. The mine offices, store, rock.
house and tramway terminal were also
engulfed.
When everyone was in bed there
was report like dynamite explosion,
in fact, the survivors declare they first
thought the magazine had blown up,
and mass of rock, snow and huge
trees swept down from near the sum-
nit of the mountain, upon ledge half
way down, and carried off from this a
bunkhouse, cookhouse and one or two
Of the houses occupied by the wives
and families of the employees. The
entire mass of debris then shot down
ward and expended its force half q
mile farther down near the Britannia
creek, where some of the mine work.
ings are situated.
One man was buried in the snow for
several hours, only his hand appearing
above the surface. He was rescued
unhurt, although nearly frozen.
American capital is largely interest
ed in the Britannia mines, which pro-
duce copper and silver in extensive
quantities.
