The News of
! MISS MARY-MAXWELL
DIED LAST EVENING
One of Carbondale's Fairest nnd Most
Popular Young Ladies Passes
Away An Accomplished Musician.
Grim dcntH descended upon the homo
of Mr. nnd Mrs. John Mnxwcll, of Pnrtt
street, Inst evening nt C.55 nnd removed
from their midst their oldest child,
Mary Imibollc, who hnd been III hut ft
fortnight from u cold contracted dur
ing the funeral ceremonies over the re
mains of Miss Maxwell's nunt, Mrs.
Solomon, of Jermyn.
Miss Maxwell hnd not been feeling
well previous to contracting the cold,
nnd this brought on n complication that
bnniod the best efforts of the medical
. skill to check, and flnnlly culminated
fatally.
Miss Mnxwcll was born June 2, 1S7D,
nnd was therefore but 23 years of nge.
She wns a skilled musician, whose tal
ents wore liberally bestowed, nnd on
account of her well-known talent and
cheery disposition was one of the
popular young ladles in Lackawanna
county. She wns a leading vocalist In
the Trinity church choir, and was also
a clever and versatile performer, on
both plnno and violin.
The deceased was also a member of
the Ladles' auxiliary of Red Men. The
funcrnl arrangements have not been

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Mrs. Alexander Tulley Caught in a
Cave-In.
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.

"OUR PETS" WATERLOOED.
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. The score:

version. This condition Is not met by
the lead storuifo battery, which grad

u a few months wholly Inoperative;
but tho nickel-Iron storage cell, which
has been evolved from Mr. Edison's

"Tho French types of electric b'SF

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.
