DROPPED THROUGH THE CEILING.
How Young Girl Surprised South Caro-
lina's Lawmakers.

Over in the State Capitol yesterday af-
ternoon. just before the General Assem-
bly, adjourned sine die. there was an oc-
currence that made the many people in
the main lobby turn their heads away IN
horror, and for few moments seemed
to root each spectator TO the floor.
4 cracking noise in the ceiling about
fifty feet above the heads OF those in the
lobby made them look up in time to see
one OF the panels give way and the body
of a half-grown girl shoot downward
Fortunately. it was the last panel next
the wall of the library and twenty feet
below was the narrow gallery that runs
as IL by miracle. Had the balcony not
caught her she would have gone on to
the marble floor below and would have
unquestionably been instantly killed.
Those who first got to her side found that
the victim was Miss Marie Monckton, the
fourteen-year-old daughter OF w H.
Monckton. She was apparently dead. The
form was picked up tenderly and taken
around the balcony to the room of Clerk
Hemphlll. while Senator Williams, who
is a physician, hastened to her side, and
DR.. Wannamaker was gotten by phone.
Her father was also summoned by tele-
phone.
The girl soon revived. however, and
seemed to suffer considerably. The ply
sicians made a careful examination as
soon as possible and gave the welcome in
formation that no bones were broken and
the child's skull seemed uninjured. There
was no Indication of internal injuries.
and 1t is believed that the girl will
quickly recover from the shock and
bruises sustained.
The young lady was with some friends.
starting to make the ascent to the dome
of the Capitol. when she dropped her
purse. which fell on the ceiling. She left
the platform to walk out on the metal
after It. The metal ceiling is merely held
from below by wires. and when the young
lady's weight was placed upon the panel
it gave way as a matter of course. The
panel was one In the cornice hung many
years ago, and was not a portion OF the

FARMERS FORFEIT
GAME TO GALLAUDBH
Agricultural College Refused
to Accept Decision.
Trouble Arose When Rooters for Mary

Would Not vacate.

The game between Gallaudet and the
Maryland Agricultural College played
yesterday on Kendall Green ended in a
row, which resulted in the Mutes being
given a forfeited game with a score Of
TO 0. The contest was extraordinarily
clean until the sixth inning. Neither side
had made run, and only six safe hits
had been registered.
The trouble arose when the rooters for
the Maryland boys started over ON the
right field line, where spectators are not
allowed. Captain Andree, OF the Gallaudet
team. registered kick against this pro-
cedure and refused to play if they were
not driven back 10 the left field line.

The cause for his complaint was that
the crowd standing on the left field line
interfered with the play. Umpire Grant
decided in favor OF the dummies. After
waiting 4 few moments for the visiting

Freeman's Great Record.

Freeman is a campaigner of several
seasons, and is rider who knows the
game from gun to tape, and who has fig
ured in more races than majority of the
riders OF the present day. He started in
1895 at Los Angeles, Cal, as an amateur.
and in the same year he turned profes-
sional and smashed all previous records
for a handicap mile. putting up the new
mark of 1851 4-5. In 1898, at Ambrose
Park, in New York, he won the twentieth
century trophy of $1,000 against one of
the fastest fields of the year. Two sea-
sons ago he defeated Major Taylor. the
1usky cyclone. two yards back from the
tape at New Haven, and proved himself
then wonderful rider.
