4 Terrible Fall In an Elevator.

Rather than walk down six flights uf
stairs in "A New York hotel four servant
girls attached to the place determined to
ride down the slender trunk elevator
The four managed to squeeze into the
dummy and ono Of them started the ole
vator. As 1t reached the fiith story
something snapped with report like n
pistol. and the dummy with its heavy
load shot down the shaft with whirr
that did not seem to occupy seconds
time. The cooks flushed 20 the Kitchen
door. which is opposite the mouth of the
shaft in the basement. and were Just in
time to sce the dummy strike the stone
floor with n noise like the stroke of
trip hammer. Katy Callaghan and
Annie Fognrty were thrown out on their
faces, and in such manner that when
the dummy rcbounded their legs fell
under It. The great wooden box
bounded ten feet into the air. then the
rope snapped. and the box fell again
with heavy noise. this time upon the
limbs of the PROSTATE women. Nellie
Brown and Mary Jane Mctiinnis were
thrown out upon the bodies Of their
manglcd companions when the dummy
fell the second time.
The proprietor. Mr.. Carpenter. heard
the whirr and crash Of the falling box.
and fastened down stairs lie ordered
beds brought down. and the women
were laid upon them. two Of them in the
laundry and two in the servants dining
room. Mrs. Carpenter did whatever
could be done for the suffering women.
and her husband ran tn the New York
Hospital and notified the surgeon of
what had occurred. In ten minutes DIR.
Knapp. who was in charge of the hos
pital. reached the hotel with his as-
sistants and an ambulance. Tho frac-
tured limbs were put in splints. and the
other injuries were attended To before
the patients were removed TO the hos
pital All four were terribly injured,
two of them dying on the third day after
the accident.

Enterprislng Correspondents.

The Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Couricr-.Jouryadi SAYS. Mem
bcrs Of Congress are constantly puzzled
as to how correspondents get hold Of
their secret proceedings in caucus. After
the last caucus there was a pretty cor
rect report given in one paper of the sub
jccts reported from one of the committees
and presented for discussion. II was
nftcrward learned that the chairman of
the committee had made. some notes in
regard To the subjects presented to the
caucus. When they adjourned he tore
the paper to pieces and threw them In
the waste-paper basket. When all had
departed an cnterprising reporter entered
the hall and began n search for items.
He saw the bits Of paper and carefully
collected all of them. then he retired and
skillfully fitted the particles together.
Next he visited committec-room and
asked the clerk IL that was the hand
writing oi the chairman. lie went from
one tn the other. until hc fixed upon the
member whose writing he held. Next
morning his paper had pretty correct
report of the proceedings In secret eau
Gus. Many think IL would be better If
the caucus would give correct news to the
papers, and thereby avoid the many
imaginary reports which correspondents
send out "a news. A prominent paper
published a sensational report which.
am told, had not shadow of truth for
foundation. When the correspondent
was taken To task about IL, he said. 81
was Obliged to send something to my
paper. and. II you will not give me news,
there Is nothing 10 do but invent. I
would prefer The truth. but you leave me
