TO THE UNKNOWN DEAD.

Huge Bowlder Will Mark the Besting Place of Buffalo Soldiers. Thomas H. McDonnell, president of the Quincy Granite Railroad Company of Massachusetts, has gone to Buffalo to superintend the setting up of a large bowlder. The bowlder is rated as weigh-

ing forty tons, although the workmen who were engaged in moving it 300 yards in order to put it aboard a car say that it must weigh between fifty and sjxty tons. It required fifteen workmen to move it and jack it so as to get it aboard a car, and the purchaser of it is the city of Buffalo. This large bowlder will be set up in the common of the Queen City as a memorial to the unknown soldiers of the City who perished in the civil war.
