Mrs. Alexander Tulley. of Mayflcld, who was formerly Miss Blanche Brooks, of this city, had an experience Tues day which she Is not likely to soon for get, and, Indeed, It Is almost.a miracle that sho escaped with hor'llfe. Sink ing In a cave-In she was caught knee deep In earth at the bottom of a thirty foot hole. She was rescued after con siderable effort by workmen- from the Mayflcld yard shops of the Ontario and Western company. Mrs. Tulley. In company with two neighbors, Mrs. Highland and Mrs. Barnes, was out berrying. They went to the hills back of the old Meredith cottage. They had almost filled their palls, when suddenly the earth beneath Mrs. Tulley began to sink and, unable to reach a place of safety, she was car ried with It. Mrs. Tulley's friends hurried to the edge of the hole, and realizing the . futility of any effort on their part to rescue Mrs. Tulley they hurried to the Ontario and Western shops for assist ance. Several men responded. They took with them a bidder twenty feet Jong, but on arriving at the cave-In found It to be a dozen feet too short to reach the bottom. A messenger was nt once dispatched for a rope and he soon returned. In the meantime Mrs. Tulley had released herself by means of implements furnished by her res cuers, and fastening the rope beneath her arms sho was soon hauled from the pit. TO BE WEDDED.

They Fall Before the West Side Browns of the Electric City. Was It a "hnodoo7" No. Was It the new suits? No. Was It the knockeis7 No, Was It the playing? Yes. Of the numerous question submitted above the last In, the mind of tho writer Is the most appropriate and the exact cause for the defeat of the Crescents yesterday afternoon by the West Side Browns, of Scraliton, by a score of 7-5 About 2,500 people assembled on Duf fy's field, an excellent crowd, for a week day, but they were treated to an Indifferent exhibition of the national pastime. Captain Oallaghy was not present to play second bnse. Jack Fee, the old state leaguer, pitched the first six innings nnd did re markably well. He was relieved by the mute, Kellohcr, of Forest City, who al lowed only three hits In three Innings. Fee's support was ragged and many tabulated hits should have been cut off by sharper work on the part of the fielders. Loftus nnd Cult both played the game with a vim and determination that characterized them as ball play ers and If the rest of the team did IJkewlse, the story would be a different one. Even the trustworthy Rosier wns classed among the erring ones, some thing that seldom- happens to that rapid guardian of the left pasture. The Crescents scored their live and only runs in the first Inning. After that Williams was n "Chinese puzzle" to them and nil fell victims to his spe'edy curves. His strike-out of seven men Is a proof of excellent work. The Browns played an uphill game from the start, but when hits meant runs they were "Johnny on raft" and as a result won out.

This condition Is not met by the lead storuifo battery, which grad ually becomes leas and less elliclent and u a few months wholly Inoperative; but tho nickel-Iron storage cell, which has been evolved from Mr. Edison's experiments, and or which ho gives a most Interesting description, i cumins uninjured under any condition one can imagine, even In the hands of uu In expert.

This result has been attained of course, only by experience. At fiSit I was inclined to tho opinion that ffia French machines were abnormally heavy; but when I study out the con cussions and strains to which they aio subjected, my Inclination Is to make the touring carriage even heavier stll. It Is surprising to mo that American builders have not more closely followed these French models, slnco experiments costing millions must havo been made to reach tho present stage. "Wo henr of fewer automobile acci dents In France nnd In Europe gen-. orally than In our own country, and they nro fewer In splto of heavy types of carriages. One renson for this is that In Europo thero are wider rond3 and let?s traffic; another Is that tho public havo been educuted up to tho situation. Tho electric carriage of tho future, nnd of the near future, will In my -opinion not only supersede other types of automobiles, but It will bo built und run on such practical lines that accidents will boon become thlnes of tho past, llorso owners and drivers will educate their animals, us In old times they hud to be educated up to tho steam englno nnd later to tho trol ley car. Tho electric carriage will In practically noiseless and easily stopped In an emergency, Aljove all, Jt ylll need no Irrespoiiblhlo chauffeur," SWISS DIPLOMATIC HITCH.
