Baltimore and Ohio depot last night about
o'clock when a neatly dressed young
woman asked him if he could help her. She
told him she had come from Colesville,

penniless. The policeman sent her to the
house of detention after she had told him
she was a victim of persecution.
She said she was being Swallowed by a
colored man. The young woman gave her
Eame as Ada Pratt. Her mother is man
ager of the farm of the Woman's Com
monwealth. Several months ago Miss Pratt
disappeared from the home of the Common
wealth, on Kenesaw avenue, and the police

caused her mother some uneasness by her
absence. Her case was referred to Sanitary
Officer Frank and the police surgeons were
directed to examine her and pass upon the

SHRINERS RETURNING
NONE INJURED In RAILWAY AC-
CIDENT AT BALTIMORE.
Speak in Glowing Terms of Hospitality
of the Camel Riders Of
Harrisburg.

The Washington Shriners who acted as
escort to Admiral Winfield Scott Schley on
his trip to Harrisburg are returning to the
city on different trains. Many arrived this
morning and others came in later In the
day. They all speak in terms of warm
praise of the excellent ritualistic work rem
dered by Zembo Temple of Harrisburg
and of the cordial and ample hospitality of
the members of that body.
The returning Shriners also have their
own stories of how it feels to be shaken
up good and plenty in genuine collision.
Most of them frankly admit that they
would prefer to traverse the hot sands over
again rather than duplicate their collision
experience. Others say that it never
touched them.
The accident occurred at Baltimore. Just
as the Washington express was coming out
of the tunnel beyond the Maryland avenue
bridge the Peninsula Express, one of the
trains of the Delaware division, which had
discharged its passengers but a few min
utes previous. was backing across the main
track into a siding The express was going
at pretty good rate of speed. and when it
"side-wiped' the Peninsula Express two OF
the coaches of the latter train were torn
from their trucks.
Car Pushed Many Yards.
Before the train could be stopped one of
the coacneS, combination car, was puSneO
along the track by the engine for more than
200 yards. The trucks of the car having
been deraled, the coach bumped along on
it's side. Baggage Master Henry Head of
Delaware City, Del, was imprisoned in the
car, and it was thought that he had been
killed, but when the door was broken open
it was found that the man was little the
worse off for his thrilling experience. He
was slightly cut and bruised and cut about
the body, face and head. but he was able TO
return to his home. in Delaware City, on
the next train.
The Baltimore Sun says: Admiral Schley
took the matter in the cool manner charac-
teristic of him. When his train had been
brought to stop he alighted and walked
toward the engine Sergeant Lone of the
central district who had arrived on the
scene by that time, recognized the admiral
and spoke to him.
Were you hurt, sir?' inquired the Off
Ger.
".Oh, no. replied the hero of Santiago
bay. We were a little shaken up, but none
of us was hurt
when the injured were carried to
small tool house near by Admiral Schley
displayed considerable interest in the well
fare of the men in quiet way. He stood
by and watched the physicians as they
worked on some of the men until his train
for Harrisburg left. The Mystic Shrners
had a band with them, and according to
Detectives Dougherty and Weaver, who
were at the depot. the musicians said they
were playing In the Good Old Summer
Time when the accident occurred
Isaac Hall of Washington, a fireman, who
was injured in the accident, is at the 3alu-
more City Hospital. and is said to be get
ting along very nicely.
