This I thought would lessen the shock when the collision came. We began to go up grade. This reduced the pace somewhat, but we were still traveling at terrific epeed when I saw & mile or so ahead what I took to be the summit of the grade.

I first helped Miss Hazlett to the platform, held here as near the ground s -possible and dropped her. She fell on her face and breast and although bruised sustained no broken bones. Then I helped my wife off in the same way. She was not so lucky as Miss Hazlett and sustained rather severe injury. I got the porters off and then jumped myself, Before jumping I had picked up a red flag, and when the car stopped, about two miles from where I had left it I started out to flag the wrecker. As I reached the car I met a tramp. 1 was tuckered out and the women required my attention, so I turned over the flag to him and he stopped the train.

The first meeting of the exclusive Fri- day Fortnightly Club will take place this evening at Com.lon .flnl.l. Miss Alice Roosevelt has left Washing- ton for a three weeks' visit with her grandmother, Mrs. Lee, of Boston. Since Miss Roosevelt's advent at the White House quite a number of informal lunch- eons and teas have been given her by her friends, at which other buds of the sea- son were present. With the exception of her appearance at the two formal dinners glven by the President and Mrs. Roose- velt, Miss Roosevelt’s appearance has been confined strictly to informal affairs. Her first formal appearance will be on January 1, after which the White House will have a merry round of entertain- ments for the young set, the chief of which will be the ball given by the Presi- dent and Mrs. Roosevelt on January 3 and a large cotillon on Miss Roosevelt's eighteenth blnhdag on February 11.| These affairs will be interspersed with numerous luncheons, teas and theater parties and Miss Alice will accept invita- tions to formal functions.

Society thronged the rooms early in the | afternoon, and the sale was hardly more than a few hours old when the maay articles so temptingly d'splayed were dis- posed of. | The ladies in charge of the various booths displayed their respective wares to the very best advantage. The tables | were all attractive and artistic. Probably the prettiest of all was the one where the dainty bisque and sawdust ladies were displayed. Never since the first year of the doll show was a more beautiful ot of dolls shown. Every doll disposed of at that table was a “home dressed” one. A “home-dressed” doll is as unlike a “store-dressed”” doll as it is possible to find. In the first place their clothes can come off, a consideration that always makes a dollie dearer to its litue “mother”; and then again the clothes are properly fitted and nently sewed. As early as 330 in the afternoon every doll on the big crowded table was sold. 3 At the neckwear table stocks and fancy collars and neckties were disposed of, and disposed of early. The collection Giéplayed was one thal represented splen- did taste, and chic aud above all the latest novelty. At the apron table the crowd gathered early. The aprons displayed were of ali styles and for all sorts and conditions of purchasers. There were fine ones and coarse ones, the tiny ones, that are aprons by courtesv only, and the big, usc- ful plnnK)re. All, however, found pur- chasers who pronounced them just the thing. Mst. Timothy Hopkins and Mrs. I. W. Hellman Jr. were most generous patrons of the booths whence the dolls went forth to new owners. Mrs. Hopkins and Mrs. Hellman controlled the market of the tiny bisque ladies and those in charge of the ‘doll booth were compelled to seek a further supply, and, the stock replen- ished, the sale continued briskly until the hour of closing. _ At the handkerchief table some ele- t mandkerchiefs were shown, and some that were not qiuite so pretty, but probably much more uscful. There was a mshlng demand for both kinds. At the fancy goods and art table the display was simply magnificent. There were some splendid samples of women's finest work, high art, needlework and a v:fi: collection cf useful and ornamental t . s Aetin table to the left of the doll table, the doll furnishing table, was an ex- tremely attractive ore to the visitor. Everything that ‘“‘do.ly” needs was ais- played there and the wee luxurious trifles of the sawdust lady's wardrobe found many purchasers. 3 The punch, lemcnade and flower tables were under one management and did a thriving business. Home-made candy, as well as the confectioner’s candy, was temptingly displayed at the candy table and quickly disposed of. 1In the refresh- ment booth the many visitors enjoyed the !glendld coffee, refresiing tea, delicious chocolate and fine ice cream that waa served them. The grab bag did a iand office business. 1t was quite the principal attraction of the many children that came to the sale during the afternoon. It was especially attractive to the childzen of the nursery, who enjoyed the pleasure of a visit. Besides the ottractions of the many tables there was music by a string or- chestra. There was a raffle table and a fortune-telli booth, where Foselli, th3 celebrated palmist, revealed the secrets of the future. The following-named ladies were in charge of the various tables: Doll_table—Mrs. W. S. Leake, assisted by re. J. L. Gould, Miss Georgle Spieker, Miss Ruby Sessions, Miss Bessie Gowan and Miss Fannie Halsey. Dolls' furnishings table—Mrs, William Frank, asgisted by Mrs. Guy E. Manning. Grab-bag—Mrs. H. E. Osborne.

The late Mrs. Jay Gould was a devout Pres- byterian, as was her eldest daughter, and through her influence Mr. Gould also be- came a member of that church. Frank J. Gould and Miss Helen Kelly will become members of St. Bartholo- mew's Church after their marriage.

Armour, which stood in the fashionable settle- ment in Purchase, four miles east of ‘White Plains, was destroyed by fire re- cenily. Mr. Armour, who is 76 years old, carried a lighted lamp into the cellar. The lamp fell cut of his hand and ex- ploded, setting fire to a bundle of straw that lay near the stairway, The old man’s screams for help were heard by Mrs. Armour and the servants, who hastered to his assistance. The wooden partitions in the cellar were ablaze by this time. They dragged the old man out of the flames and up the stairs. The stairway was burning before they left the cellar. Mrs. Armour telephoned to White Plains for help. When the firemen got there the house was almost burned to the ground. The only things saved were two planos and some silverware. The Armours are neighbors of Trainer L. Park, Oliver Harriman, Whitelaw Reid and George T. Burling. e TDecember 16 is the date set for the wed- ding of Miss Norma Preston and Worth- ington Ames.

Admission of Certain Evi- dence Makes Counsel Quarrel. NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—The court-mar- tial proceedings against Colonel Meade, charged with drunkenness and scandalous | conduct, were resumed at the navy yard | to-day. The entire morning session was devoted to discussing the admissibility of the| record of the court of inquiry which was held at the navy yard July 25, to which T. D. Semple, attorney for Colonel Meade, strenuously objected. The court made the following ruling: ‘Any papers tending to establish the | proper and legal organization of the court of inquiry convened at the navy yard July 2, 191, may be introduced, sald pa- Ders not constituting testimony given be- | fore said court.” Lieutenant R. S. Hooker of the marine corps testified that he was in command of the First Company during the bat- talion drill at the marine barracks on June 18, and that Colonel Meade was Sober and seemed to be in a perfectly normal condition on that occasion. Richard D. Ware, secretary of the Purl- tan Club of Boston, testified that in Sep- tember, 1897, Major C. H. Lauchheimer was a guest of the Puritan Club, and there was nothing on the records of the | club to show that the card of invitation to Major Lauchheimer has been recalled on account of misconduct. This was in refutation of the statement made under | oath by Colonel Meade before a_court of | inquh‘f{ held at the navy yard, Brooklyn, | on July 2 of this year. On that occasion Colonel Meade, according to the record, | said to Major Lauchheimer: “I have a great many friends in the Puritan Club in Boston. You received an invitation or a card from.the Puritan Club to be a guest there, and your conduct was such that they had to recall the invitation.” During the afternoon session of the court-martial the judge advocate and | Colonel Meade's lawyer had a lively time | in reference to the admission of parts of the record of the testimony taken before the court of inquiry last July. Judge Ad- vocate Niblack, In order to get part of the records before the court-martial, called Captain B. H. Fuller of the United | States Marine Corps to the witness stand. Captain Fuller was the advocate during the court of inquiry, and when asked if he were able to repeat the testimony given at that time he said he would be unable to give it verbatim until he re- freshed his memory from the records. Lawyer Semple objected to this, and after the courtroom had been cleared the mem. bers of the court held a'lengthy discus- sion of the matter and finally decided that the witness would be allowed to re- fresh his memory from the stenograph- |« er’'s report of the court of inquiry, This ended the day’s proceedings. Secretary Long Settles Dispute. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2L—A question of Jurisdiction having arisen between the Construction and Equipment bureaus of the navy as to the responsibility for the construction of coal and water barges, | Secretary Long has decided that the Con- | struction Bureau is to build these craft in ordinary times, but that the Equipment Bureau may do so in cases of emergency. —_— Cruiser Chicago Off Villefranche.

Blaine Jr. have | arrived in Washington from New~ York | and are the guests of Admiral and Mrs. | Hichborn, the parents of Mrs. Blaine. This is the first visit of this popular belle | to Washington since her marriage to Mr. Blaine, and her young friends are prepar- ing to surround her with attentions dur- ing her brief !lI‘)'. A situation of no little difficulty con- fronts Baroness Hengelmuller, the wife of the Austrian Minister Plenipotentiary | at Washington. Last winter she not only declined to hold any kind of social int: course with the Mexican Embassadress, but on a memorable occasion at a stace dinner given at the White House by the late President McKinley created a sensa- tion by declining to accept the arm of the Mexican Embassador or to sit beside him at the table. The matter gave no end of annoyance to the late President, and was | ~ explained by the Austrian Minister on the | ground that neither he nor his wife could | hold any relations whatsoever with the representatives of a Government that had put to death his sovereign's brother, the iil-fated Emperor Maximilian. Since then, however, a reconciliation has taken place between the court of | Vienna and the Mexican Government. | Diplomatic relations between the two | countries have been resumed and friendly | intercourse established, the Austrian monarch having sent a speclal embassy | to Mexico to thank President Diaz for the part which he had taken in the erec- | tion of the memorial chapel to his unfor- | tunate brother at Queretaro. It therefore becomes incumbent upon the Baroness, whose husband is merely | a Minister Plenipotentiary, to call upon the Mexican Embassadress, whose diplo- matic_status, like that of her husband, the bassador, is superior to that of | the Hengelmullers. It will be a bitter pill for the Baroness to swallow, and peo- ple in Washington are speculating as to the extent to which Senora Azpiroz will be willing to forget and forgive the public affront to which the Baroness subjected the kindly old Mexican Embassador at the White House last spring. Late last evening the beautiful French doll, ar order for a tailor suit and hat and one other doll were raffled off. Miss Melinda Murphy, holder of ticket No. 156, captured the French doll. The holder of ticket No. 40 is entitled to the ! tailor-made suit and Mrs. J. L. Gouid | holds the lucky numbers that win the hat and a doll. LENEFIT PROVES A SUCCESS Substantial Sum Realized for Epis- copal Old Ladies’ Home. For the benefit of Yhe Episcopal Old Ladies’ qume a delightful presentation of the comedy, “The Peacemakers,” in four acts, was given last night at Sherman- Clay Hall. The ladies who had charke of the entertainment had labored dili- gently to insure a pleasant evening to all who_attended and tneir efforts were re- warded with success. The presentation was under the direction of Dr. J. D. Milij- kin, and Alvin E. Hornlein acted as stage manager.

Large Force of Troops Has Been Sent Into the Coal Fields. PARIS, Nov. 21.—Tke situation in the mining centers of France is again ap- proaching a climax. The next day or t¥o will see a definite decision upon the ques- tion of a gemeral strike. The resuit uf the recent referendum, while it gave a majority m favor, actually indi- cated that a very considerable number vt the miners were eitier opposed to a strike or were not entlusiastic. This vote impelled the federation officials to put off a strike declaration, ou the plea that it was advisable to awart the decisions of the commission of the‘Chamber of Depu- ties engaged in studying the demands ol the miners. It now appears unlikely that the com- mission will satisfy these demands, anc the extreme partisans are endeavoring to force the hand of the federation officials in favor of a strike. Already a partial strike has broken out in a coal fleld in the Department of the Nord, where a general meeting of miners voted yesterday in favor of a striks and sent a dispatch to M. Cotte, secretary of the federation, calling upon him to de clare a strike immediately. M. Cotte dc- clines to ume the :esponsibility and announces the holdins of a final consult- ation of the various mwining centers and the publication of thur decision in the course of a day or so. In the meantime the committee of the important Pas de Cala's district has pub- lished a manifesto agzinst the declara tion of a strike until the committee of the Chamber of Deputies shall have con- cluded its labors, and a similar feeling 13 evinced in other dist Indications, therefocs the strike, even if declared, will be only partial and rot general, and that it is doomed in advance to failure. _ The Belgian and Brutish niiners who have been consulted have refused to con- sent to reduce the output, although they have promised to give linancial ald. Con- sequently the opponents of the str'ke predict that the object of the French strikers will be defeated by the invasion of foreign coal, including American. The situation at present is that 4300 out of the 15,000 miners in the Department o° the Nord have struck and about 1000 have gone on strike in the a“jacent pits of the Pas de Calais district. The movement 18 spreading in the Decpartment of the Nord, and it is asserted that all the min- ers will cease work Lo-morrow. Thus far complete order prevails, but an imposing force of sendarmes. infan- try and cavalry has becn billeted in every coal field to cope wita any disorder. s. g0 to show that VENEZUELAN AUTHORITIES QUICELY CRUSH REBELS Followers of General Matos Are Now in Jail and Peace Has Been Restored. NEW YORK, Nov. 2L.—Gonzales Es- teves, Consul General of Venezuela at New York, received the following cabie- gram from Torres Cardenas, General Sec- retary of the republic: “The revolution headed by General Ma- tos which was ready to break out has been crushed and its leaders are now in jail. Country enjoys peace.” The cablegram was sent from Caracas. Recorder in Fresno Explains. FRESNO, Nov. 2L—County Recorder Kerr, who was declared yesterday to be fore the Grand Jury to-day to account for the shortage. Kerr explains that in Jan- uary last he held out $1000 in mining f acting under the advice of his attorneys who said that under the State law_all mining fees belong to the Recorder. The $300 shortage in February is an error of the accountant. Kerr further asserts taat he held the money out for the mining fees in order to bring about a test case. No ction was taken by the Grand Jury, so | far as can be learned. The general opin- ion in town is that Kerr is innocent of ny intended erime. He admits, however, that he used the $1000 held from the county. Reported Death of Tolstoi. LONDON, Nov. 2.—A message to the Central News from &t. Petersburg re- ports that Count Tolstc: is dead.
