A TRAINS NARROW ESCAPE
Pennsylvania Railroad Tunnel In Bal
timore Caves in on Passenger Train

Baltimore June 29.-The roof Of the
union railroad tunnel in the eastern
section of the city. used and controlled
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, caved in shortly before O'Clock
this morning. 1t is supposed that
the accident.
A narrow escape from death or Sc
rious injury was experienced by the
passengers and crew of an express train
which was caught by the falling de-
bris in the tunnel.
The train was the regular northbound
express which leaves the union station
at 1:OS o'clock in the morning, consist
ing of three baggage and express cars
and three passenger coaches. AS far
as can be learned. the avalanche Of
earth and rocks caught the rear express
car, which was Immediately In front
of the passenger cars. The train was
not running at a high rate of speed and
the jar was not severe. The engineer
quickly brought his train to full stop,
and word was sent from signal tower
to Union station.
A yard engine was sent into the tun-
mel and the thinly filled passenger
coaches were drawn back to Union
station without the occupants being
aware of the danger through which
they had passed. The houses on each
side seem perilously close to the brink
and should any further cave in occur
they must be precipitated into the
cavity below.

Wilmington. by yesterdays victory
and Raleigh's defeat by Charlotte, is
placed we'll in the lead for the PEN
nant in the second series.
The game of yesterday was again
characterized by heavy hitting, the
Giants leading with IA hits, to their
opponents II. The Giants also out
fielded the "Tar-Babies' as will be seen
by a glance at the error column below.
Both pitchers were hit hard. but Allen
was more fortunate than Gettig by
keeping the hits scattered.
The "Tar Babies" started the run
getting in the first inning. Foster, the
first man up, hits safe to right. Ashen-
back singles Weddige sacrifices, fore
ing Ashenback at second. Gilligan
flies out to Cranston and Foster scores.
Curtis retires the side by flying out to
McGinnis.
From then until the fifth inning
neither team was able to send man
across the plate. Then Wilmington
starts a rough house and when the dust
cleared away the black board had
credited the Giants with five runs.
They were made by free pass to Allen
and heavy hitting by Clayton, Devlin,
Seabring. Thackera and Warren.
In the sixth inning Tarboro, aided by
pass to Foster, a two-bagger by Ash
enback and singles by Weddige and
Curtis send two men across the pan.
The Giants also add another run in
their half of the sixth on hits made by
Devlin, Crockett and Allen.
The visitors add three more runs in
the seventh inning on a free pass to
Foster, a single by Ashenback, bases
on balls to Weddige and Gilligan and
a single by Virgins.
The Giants in their half of the lucky
seventh add two more runs. McGinnis
and Clayton both hitting for two bases.
This ends the run-getting.
Tarboro takes her turn at the bat
during her half of the eighth, but was
unable to score. The game, is called
here to allow the visitors to catch the
train.

MRS. GAIT TO
 COME IN NOVEMBER.

It has become an assured fact that Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, President of the National wom ans Suffrage Association. will visit Montgomery some time in No- vember and one of the most brilliant of the functions of the early social season will be a reception given in her honor. The details of the reception have not been at all decided upon, but there Is no doubt that it will be elegant and that to com pliment this prominent woman. Mont gomery's society set will do itself proud.
 Mrs. Catt will make visit of two days to Montgomery, and on one of the even- inRs will deliver a lecture on the work of the organization of which she is head. It will be a rare treat to Montgomery students of conditions and signs of the time to hear from this learned woman on a subject that has grown to such pro portions and Importance as has that of the advisability. or individuality. of wo- mans suffrage.
 Mrs. Catt is said to be very womanly
 woman, thoroughly attractive charming and pretty. She is the wife of man of wide influence and great wealth-a rail- road man who has interests from New Tor kto aSn Francisco. All this is a suit able setting for a woman of Mrs. Catts high intellectual and social standing. Her dainty toilettes, and womanly grace will meet with masculine approval when her doctrines will perhaps be drowned upon.
 When Mrs. Catt comes in November to make her appearance among the progress sive women of Alabama, she will be en- tertained in Huntsville and later will visit Birmingham.

Some special matters were discussed and disposed of. and great enthusiasm pre- vailed. expressions of surprise and grati- fication were heard on all sides when the committee reported the work of the summer
 Those who were absent were delighted with the snug sum that had been real ized by the ladies who had remained at home and worked for the White House during the heat of the summer. A reso- lution of thanks was voted to the mem- bers of the Constitutional Convention for their courtesies and appreciation of the efforts of the ladies and for the many contributions that were made especially on the last day. and second for the unanimous endorsement of the White House work by the Constitutional Con vention. Committees were formed for the Fall Festival" and the work was entered upon with as much eagerness as The Confederate Tent will be pitched at the same old corner and lunch will be served every day during the Street Fair. All agreed to give the veterans a warm greeting in November.
