York city-Lodsed All Night on
Two Foot Ledge.

Yosemite Valley, Cal, July Ie.-
After plunge Of 300 feet into a ere
vase thousands Of feet in depth. Mrs.
A. A. Johns. well known ia fashionable
circles Of New York city, had an
escape from death that borders on the
miraculous. She hung for hours on a
two foot ledge. in an exhausted condi.
ton. There she was discovered by the
rescue party, and the manner Of her
rescue was another thrilling adventure.
where men risked life and limb carry
ing the woman over crevasses that
ordinarily the most skillful guide
would not traverse by himself Mrs.
Johns husband is in New York.
Mrs. Johns was missing "a hours
before being discovered. (The relief
party found Mrs. Johns position TO be
critical in the extreme. A closer ex-
animation showed that her escape
from a frightful death had been moth
ing less than miraculous. She had
fallen distance of 800 feet from the
rim Of the creyasse walls and had par.
TALLY stayed her fall by catching at
juniper bushes and scrub cedar trees
through whose branches she had
plunged. When the rope had been
lowered Mr.. Potter descended to ex-
anime the ground and determine the
best course 10 pursue in getting Mrs.
Johns from her peTilous position.
There, lodged upon two foot ledge,
with her clothing torn TO fragments
and her flesh stratched and bruised. lay
Mrs. Johns. weak from exhaustion and
lack OF food and benumbed by the
frosty chill Of the night
With difficulty the rope was secure
ly tied around Mrs. Johns waist and
an effort made to hoist her TO the rim
above. This attempt proved futile be-
cause Of Mrs. Johns weight.
BY leaning over the abrupt precipice
Mr.. Potter could discern another and
larger ledge 100 feet below. from
which was a sheer drop of hundreds Of
feet He determined to try this plan
Of rescue. Giving the order to those
above to lower the rope. Mr.. Potter
swung the inanimate form OF Mrs.
Johns out over the tiny strip Of rock
upon which she had braced herself
for Is hours and into the chasm be
meath. BY swinging the rope to and
fro Mr.. Potter was able TO lodge the
body OF Mrs. Johns upon the larger
ledge and then descended himself.
Calling 70 one Of the mountain
guides above. Mr.. Potter had him de.
soend the rope to the ledge upon which
All three were now resting. Then the
two picked up Mrs. Johns and together
they made their difficult way around
dangerous lodges and over yawning
precipices beneath until, finally worn
out and exhausted. they reached the
rim above once more.

GIVES 1T UP TO TROLLEY.
N. p. Branch on Sound to Be EIectri
fed

Everett. Wash.-The branch of the
Northern Pacific Railway cOmpanys
line running between Everett and
SnOhOmish. a distance of seven miles,
is to be operated by electricity for
all passenger business and for bag
gage. mis- is the first attempt OF
any of the trans continental systems
to employ electricity in operating
even a part of their systems. The
Everett Improvement company, which
owns the local street railway trolley
system. has effected a lease Of the
Northern Pacific branch line, running
to Snohomish. and will at once cleo
trify the line with an overhead troll
ley system, to be in operation in the
early fall. A block signal system will
be installed the entire distance to in
sure safety and warrant high rate
of speed The Northern Pacific will
abandon the use of the tracks, except
for the hauling of freight
The move is regarded as OF much
Importance in railway circles, as it
indicates that President Mellin is
alive to the trend of affairs tending
to divert all passenger traffic between
populous centers that are separated
by only few miles from the steam
railroads to electric lines. The ex
perence of the Northern Pacific with
it's passenger traffic between Tacoma
and Seattle upon the completion Of
the magnificent third rail electric
system between the two big cities Of
Puget Sound may have had its infiu-
ence in bringing about the arrange
ment that has just been effected be-
tween the Northern Pacific and the
Everett Improvement company. The
entire passenger business OF the
Northern Pacific between Tacoma
and Seattle, except through business,
dropped off as soon as the electric line
began operations. President Mellen
realized that the Everett street rail
way people would build a line to
SnohOmish in any event, and doubtless
concluded to have the line run over
their rails and retain an interest in
the traffic rather than to see it go
over entirely to a new line. The move
would seem to indicate a policy to
be followed in future by the steam
rail lines.
