 name mentioned long ago lived in Lansing, Mich, and learning that the law made even an unborn child the property of it's father, she determined to have it changed. For this purpose she, went from house to house with petition which she carried to the house of representatives, and called every day of the session to see some mem- Der of it, always saying gently, You regularly and I shall keep on getting names to the petition until a mother is made as much the possessor and guardian of her child as is its father" So gentle and persistent was this woman, that as some of the legislators declared 'sthey, passed the bill to be rid of her importuni5 ties." She then proceeded to the. senate, conducting her campaign on precisely the same principles, and when the bill was passed she followed up the governor in- til he had affixed his signature Nothing was said of this in the papers, and the women of Michigan do not know to this day that they own at least an ''undiyided> half' of their own children, It is this personality, purpose and persistence that causes things to come to pass, and ff one member in any one local union should resolve that its membership should dou- ble within the next six weeks, the feat would be accomplished.

HAD A NARROW ESCAPE.
DeraiIment of an Express Train Near
Columbus, Ohio.


The Penn sylvania railroad special, No. 2
which arrived at Columbus, Ohio, at $40
o'clock last night and left at 500 met with
an accident at Reed avenue crossing, about
two miles east of the city. This is the solid
vestibuled limited. and carries passengers
from Cincinnati, st. Louis and the west to
New York.
1t is generally we'll crowded with passen-
gers. There is a target tower located at
Reed avenue, which is two stories high and
paratus is operated.
The train had just passed the tower at
rate estimated to be about twenty miles an
hour, when the last sleeper jumped the
track and was thrown against the target,
being practically smashed into kindling
wood.
The force and weight of the sleeper leaving
the track dragged the other cars off, and
the whole train was derailed but none of
the cars turned over. At the time the train
passed the tower the crew of yard engine
were In the tower waiting to begin work.
The fireman Of this crew. John McCor-
mick, Fireman James Jenkins and Yard
master Bert Woodward were badly injured.
The others injured were: Bert Cooper
telegraph operator, badly hurt; NJ L. VIII
son, car inspector. badly hurt; c. c. H.
Bell, brakeman, injured-all of Columbus
telegraph pole standing near the tower
was broken off by the force of the sleeper
when 1t jumped the track and one end OF it
ran through the sleeper. This aided in the
destruction OF the sleeper and placed the
passengers in most perilous position.
The car was well filled and only n few had
retired for the night. The greatest of ex
citement prevailed. as the passengers were
imprisoned IN the car, and the work
OF rescue was inaugurated. Assistance was
promptly called from the Pan Handle wards
near by. and the police patrols and ambu,
lances responded, and all aided in the
rescue. S

now in use Will give greatly increased
facilities and more than repay for the
temporary inconvenience.
