ESCAPED DEATH
By Jumping Into River-Thrilling Elk.

BY Jumping Into River-Thrilling EX-
periences by Well Known Parties.
Postmaster w. S. Clark and David
Morris, of Woodmont, had a very mar
row escape from being killed by a troll
ley car on Indian river bridge, west of
Milford. Thursday night, and only saw
ed themselves by jumping fifteen feet
into the river. They had ridden from
Bridgeport as far as the bridge, which
was as far as the car ran. They then
started to walk to Milford. 1t was
1890 o'clock and the snow was falling
rapidly.
They had got about to the middle of
the bridge, when the express car came
UP behind them. In the thick snow
storm the motorman did not see the
men ahead and did not slacken speed.
Clark and Morris heard the car APP
preaching and knew if they would save
their lives they must jump. They wait
ed until the car was within ten feet of
them and then jumped off the trestle
The. water was about fifteen feet below.
Fortunately it was not deep enough to
drown them, as the tide was not high.
The water was up to their armpits.
The men were pretty well chilled in
consequence of so chilly a bath, but
were apparently not injured and are
able to be about

IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS
In Connection with Collapse of Con-
soiidated Lake Superior stock.

Philadelphia, Dec. 12~There were
three important developments to-day
in connection with the collapse of the
shares of the Consolidated Lake Supe-
rior company, which began yesterday
and continued during to-days opera
! tions on the Stock exchange. AT a
meeting of the directors of the COM
pany the resignation Of President F. s.
Lewis was received and accepted. Ills
| successor was not chosen. The direc-
tors issued a statement announcing
that the last quarterly dividend of IL
per cent. payable December Is, had
been deferred, and it was learned that
the board had succeeded in arranging
for loan of $1,000,000. The money
will probably be paid into the treasury
of the company next Monday. Mr.. Lew
is had been president Of the corpora
ton only since October rs, when he was
elected to succeed e. V. Douglas, re-
signed. The loan is to be made by a
number of local trust companies and
banking Institutions, with the aid of
Speyer & Co. and the Morton Trust
company, of New York, and the Mer-
camille Trust company, Of Baltimore.
1t is to be secured by notes presumably
on the Algoma Central railway and the
Algona Steel company, subsidiary con-
Germs of the Consolidated Lake Superb
or company. and by the preferred stock
Of the company.
In the market to-day Consolidated
Lake Superior preferred stock dropped
to 1894, a decline of 1926 a share since
the decline began. Common sold at 6,
a fall of $3.50 a share during the same
period.
The cause of the company's financial
difficulty is the existing money strin-
gency. When the last quarterly divi-
dend was declared the company had
practically arranged for a large loan.
This was to be devoted to the payment
of the dividend, which amounts to
about $4,000, and to meeting certain
obligations. 1t IS said the conservative
element in the directorate favored pass
ing the dividend rather than paying it
with borrowed money.
The closing of tire company's steel
rail mill at Sault Ste. Marie, which ap-
pears to have precipitated the spectac-
ular decline of the stock, is said by Of
ficials to be due to the non-COmpletiOn
of blast furnaces, steel plants and 9TH

DR.. Adams Slightly Burned in Quelling
the Flames.
Fire broke out in the second story of
the house occupied by Ralph B. Bats
ford, 20 Ford street, yesterday morning
about 10 o'clock, and did considerable
damage to the furniture and fixings
about the room. Mrs. Batsford was
sick in bed and the fire was almost en-
ttrely confined to her room. Her ply
stefan, DR.. J. A. Adams, was in the
room at the time.
The fire started from a Rochester
lamp which had been lighted and placed
on some rugs on the floor to warm the
room. In some unexplained manner
the light ignited a curtain and started
the fire. DR.. Adams had his hair
slnged and his hands slightly burned
trying to put out the blaze.

This is the season Of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re-
plenishes her supply of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t is certain to be
needed before the winter is over. and
the results are much more prompt and
satisfactory when it is kept at hand
and given as soon as the cold is con-
tracted and before it has become set
tied in the system. In almost every
instance a severe cold may be warded
off by taking this remedy freely as soon
as the first indication of the cold ap.
pears. There is no danger in giving it
to children for it contains no harmful
substance. 1t is pleasant to take-both
adults and children like it. Buy it and
you will get the best. 1t always cures.
