ESCAPED Accident,

Filled with visions of the street car
which in 1898 ran away down the Fiji
teenth street hill. Gripping the motor
man, conductor and a number of the
passengers. and then narrowly escap-
ing wrecking a passenger train, the
passengers on the 5:45 o'clock Elm
street car Monday night held their
breath while the car slid down the hill
about block. That an accident did
not occur was undoubtedly due to the
thorough equipment of the car with
safety devices. The car, which was
completely filled with people, was about
to Twelfth avenue, going up, when
something occurred to the motor. The
car at once started TO slide backwards

Cannot Erect Church.

II was rumored for a time that the
members of the Union Congregational
church at Warmers Crossing were go
ing to erect a church, but it is now
given out that this was not the case.
The members are very anxious TO have
a church in their locality. but find that
it will be impossible TO erect one for
some time. The pastor, Rev. Davies,
has been endeavoring TO make arrange
ments for this move. but has now aban-
doned his plans. that is, for the pres
ent By no means will the members
remain inactive because a good offer
has been made TO the members of any
church in that locality. Ernest Cox
will give a site on which TO erect the
first protestant church. and with this
inducement offered they will strive
hard 10 get the funds TO erect the
church in another year. The members
of the church held a meeting last week
and decided to keep Rev. Davies in
definitely. dividing his time with the
Plymouth Congregational church at
East Moline and the Union Congrega-
tional church at Warmers Crossing.

IN deadly earnest when he made the sweep
ing challenge, and he will sign articles call
ing Tor him to fight three men In the one

rounds Jeffries disposed of the last of the
pig fellows that have any pretensions to
the rest, and beaten the best Of them
twice.
Bob F1tzsimmons. Tom sharkey, Jim Cor
bett and Gus Rubin have all been beaten
down by the mighty boilermaker. A fight
with any Of these men could not draw
files. Now Jeffries wants to fight, and wants
to fight badly. Knowing that there will be
no money in fighting any single man, he
mas mas oeclded TO make bargain day attrac-
ton of the affair and fight three
Billy Delaney, Jeffrfes' manager and
trainer, put the wholesale fighting idea into
the big fellows head. A couple Of days
after the bout with Monroe Jeffries was
bewailing the fact that he would have to
give up the game. Fighting Is his business,
and how to stick at the game when no one
would meet him was a problem he could
not solve.
If he waits for a new man to come to the
front who will be able to give him battle it
may be three or five years before the man
Is found.

Navy Tests New Wireless System.

A dispatch from New York last night
ssys: When the United States cruiser To-
peka sails up the Hudson river today as an
escort to the delegates to the American
Institute of Electrical Engineers she will
assist in the first of a series of experiments
which naval officers hope will demonstrate
the superiority of the American system of
wireless telegraphy. Unknown to all but
those WHO are conducting the tests, the To-
pcka several weeks ago was equipped with
the instruments invented by Prof. Fessen-
den of Washington, which, it is asserted
are superior to the system now in use on
American warships Capt. John r. Rodgers
a brother of Rear Admiral Rodgers, COM
nlandant of the navy yard, who Is presi-
dent of the wireless telegraphy board OF
the navy, is conducting the experiments,
assisted by agents of the Fessenden system.
Reports on the result of the tests are
awaited with keen interest by naval officers.
Fessenden instruments have been establish
ed in the wireless stations at the navy
yard ana Navesink Highlands. N. j., and
the Topeka has been specially detailed to
conduct the tests at sea. After the initial
tests today on her trip up the Hudson the
Topeka will go to sea for a long-distance
test of the apparatus and the system. Elec-
tricity In the air interferes with the opera
ton of the instruments now In use to
degree that makes communication unrelia-
bile at times and which in case of emer-
gency would cause an element of danger.

that more than a fair turn out would be
on hand, but instead the grandstand was
crowded to its limit and the pickets on the
field had a difficult job keeping the crowd

were pulled on on schedule time, thanks
