five or thirty persons might be called upon. but
the idea grew as various ones connected with TINS

And bid her touch o Lord of Life.
The gloomy corners where We WORK
Calling Us forth into glad strife
To places where no shadows lurk,
And bid us love our every day.
And see in it the shining ray
Let US exalt all common Things
To high endeavor and great aims
And see the CLINT Of angel wings
Shining across familiar names
And understand that ii is given

DESPERATE STRUGGLE
HUDSON RIVER TUNNEL,
River Caved I'm on Men Working Be
hind Great Shield and One Was
Buried Under Tons of Mud.

New York. Oct IO-Twelve men had q
desperate fight for life in the Pennsylva-
MA Railroad tunnel now being dug under
the Hudson River. They were at work in
the Hoboken end, when, without warning,
the water and loose earth began to rush
through the shield, and in a few moments
900 feet of mud had caved in.
Owen Mcconnell was buried alive under
the river bottom. Two other laborers
were taken out unconscious.
The big tunnel, which is to cross under
the Hudson TO New York, already is ad-
vanced 100 feet, and work IS being pushed
with night and day shifts The twelve
men were working in the air-pressure
tank behind the great shield. which
squeezes out the mud ahead Of Il like a
giant sieve, when suddenly the earth be-
came loosened and a gush OF water fol-
lowed. The prevailing air pressure at the
time was only twice the normal. The only
thing to be done TO stop the cave-in and
savo the lives OF twelve men was TO in
stantly increase the pressure to hold back
the water
Forty pounds was thrown IN Immediate
y upon the men struggling IN the rapidly
rising mud and water. Mcconnell could
not get away The others were dragged
TO safety, but two tainted under the strain
and were carried out in time TO save their
lives.

SAY JUDGE GRAY WOULD
BEA STRONG CANDIDATE.
Eastern Republicans Express Alarm
Over Prospects of Democrats
Nominating Delaware Man.
REPuRIIC SPECIAL

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington, Oct his Judge George
Gray Of Delaware to be the next Demo
cratic candidate for the presidency7
This question is one which has dis
turbed some prominent Republican lead
ers for a few weeks. and one OF them
said to-day they do not Ike the prospect
because 1t Is recognized that Judge Gray
would make a stronger candidate than
any one else, yet mentioned on the Demo-
critic side.
Certain OF President Roosevelt's friends
believe the Democratic leaders, seeing
that Messrs. Cleveland, Bryan, HIIl, Par
ker, Olney and German have not developed
strength outside their own localities, have
A. last begun to focus attention upon
Judge Gray.
When the Delaware appointments were
under consideration a few days ago
Judge Gray. although a Democrat was
welcome guest At the White House, and
" Influenced President Roosevelt in max
Ing the appointment Of District Attorney
Field Judge Gray's visit was followed by
whispered conferences among Republic
an leaders, and the statement was made
that, IN their opinion. Judge Gray would
be much harder man TO beat than any
man hitherto mentioned
Judge Gray was q consistent gold Dem
ocrats but preserved his regularity in
spite or the nomination OF William J.
Bryan, and did the best he could IN Del
aware to save the State for the De-
mocracy. He was chosen by President
Mckinley to represent the Democratic
party on the Peace Commission in Paris.
and subsequently did excellent work IN
obtaining the ratification OF the peace
treaty.
Judge Gray was appointed TO the Fed
eral bench by President Mckinley. as q
sound money Democrat and the appoint
ment was everywhere commended- Pres
ident Roosevelt selected the Delaware
jurist as q member OF the anthracite AZ
bitrauon tribunal. In this capacity he
made q firSt-class record, and his rulings
were particularly satisfactory TO the Ia
Dor element
The situation has fcaun to cause CON
Germ among Republicans, who do not be-
lIeye any OF the old Democratic wheel
horses ara dangerous These Republicans
think the Democrats are about ready to
bring out Judge Gray as a compromise
candidate
