coming to this city has been a joy. Wher-
ever she is seen at social affairs she is the
center of attention. but as unconscious Of
it all she is unspoiled by it. After the
tea company disperses today Secretary and
Mrs. Morton will eat dinner with about
sixty young people, the debutantes who
will be in the receiving party with their
young daughter and as many more young
men. The hospitality will close by an in
formal dance. The Secretary and Mrs.
Morton now entertaining an aunt of
the latter. Mrs. ]. r. Moran of Chicago,
who will be joined by Mr.. Moran and their
son, Lowell Burch Moran to spend Christ
mas. Miss Morton has Miss Hobson of
Boston staying with her In addition TO
these house guests Mrs. Morton will be
assisted at the tea today by Mrs. Dewey
Miss Helen Cannon, Miss Williams, Miss
Elkins, Miss Ridgley. Miss Switzerland,
Miss Schroeder. Miss Goff, Miss Hoyt. Miss
Alice Miller and Miss AleXandrine Fitch.
Mrs. Morton, one of the most popular ad-
ditions to the cabinet hostesses made in
many years, was Miss Charlotte Goodrich
of Chicago In another year the Secretary
and his wife can celebrate their silver we'd
ding. They have only two children-Mrs.
William C. Potter. whose husband is a
mining engineer. and whose home is in
Mexico. and Miss Pauline Morton Mrs.
Morton is good looking, most affable in
manner. especially in meeting strangers
with elegance and taste. Both she and her
husband have been most hospitable in their
Chicago home, and at once fell into their
old habit when they opened up their first
Washington residence. The courtesies al
ready extended them and which are in
prospect, with what will go on in their
own home, and attendance upon official oc-
casions. has scarcely left them an open
date till late in January This has been
going on for the past month a. the same
rate, while invitations for the debutante
are on the increasing ratio. If Secretary
Morton had no other reason for profonging
his stay in the cabinet beyond the 4th of
March he could fill the term by accepting
the hospitalities devised for himself or his
family, and now crowded out by other en-
gagementS.

at the New Willard was great success
The hostesses of the occasion. Mrs. Morton
Mrs. Fairbanks, Mrs. Archibald Hopkins
anu Miss Iidgely, welcomed al least 900
guests, all branches of diplomats, official
and resident society being represented in
the throng. Most of the prominen. hosts

DEATH IN A Tunnel.
Six Railway Employees Suffo-
Gated by Coal Gas.
The Fireman Saved His Life by Jump
ing Into the Partly Filled Water
Tank of the Tender-His
Escape Miraculous.

Port Huron, Mich. Oct 1O.-Six en-
ployes Of the Grand Trunk were suf-
focated to death by coal gas early Sun
day in the st. Clair tunnel which runs
under the st. Clair river from Port
Huron to Sarnia, Ont A coal train,
broke in two while passing through
the tunnel and three of the train crew
were suffocated while part of the train
lay stilled in the tunnel The engi-
nesr lost his life when he returned
and endeavored to push the stalled
cars back to safety, and two other res
cuers perished in vain attempts to
penetrate the gaseous atmosphere of.
the great tube.
The train, which entered from the
American side of the tunnel, was,
made up of IL coal cars. When iti
broke Engineer John Coleman real
lied that the accident had happened
and with the three cars that were
still attached to the engine, steamed
out of the tunnel into the Sarnia
yards. He hastily detached his en-
gine and went back into the tube for
the stalled cars. When his engine
reached them he attempted to push
them back through the tunnel and out
of the American portal. The engine
and cars rolled back into the gas la
den tunnel and Engineer Coleman was
suffocated at his post in the engine,
cab. His fireman, Fred Forester, with
great presence of mind, jumped into
the partly filled water tank of the en-
gine, where there was enough air to-
preserve his life, although he is in a
serious condition.
When the news of the broken train
reached the American side of the tun-
mel, Superintendent A. S. Begg, ac-
companied by two other employees,
started in on foot, hoping that the
train was near enough to the entrance
so that they might rescue and carry
out some of the crew. They had gone
but short distance when the coal
gas became sitting and Begg succumb-
ed. The other two rescuers succeed
ed in crawling to the portal of the tun-
mel on their hands and knees.
4uOoh WAllO plSpdl dllOlb were D0lHS
made at the Sarnia end of the tunnel
TO rescue the imprisoned train crew
An engine with party Of rescuers
entered the tube and had proceeded
but short distance when they found
John Haley, track walker, lying un-
conscious on the track. He was taken
out and again the engine plunged into
the gaseous atmosphere. The rescu-
ers were overcome, however, by the
gas before the train was reached and
Brakeman McGrath died Switchman
Blake, who was member Of the par
ty, after time made another attempt
TO penetrate the gas, and this time
succeeded in reaching the stalled en-
gine, coupled it to the cars and ran
the train out into the daylight Con-
ductors Simpson, Tinsley and Gillis
were found dead in the caboose. Fire
man Forester was in the water tank
of the engine nearly two hours before
he was rescued, and his escape is lit
