In His Own Defense.

The defendant testified that he had been
connected with the force about seventeen
years and had only been convicted of one
violation of the rules. That was for cross
ing the street off his beat and eating piece
of watermelon.
THE night inspector was near there and
1 was fined So said the officer.
And what happened to the melon?' Mr..
Sinclair asked.
On another occasion, he stated, he was re-
ported for being in a certain place. He
was thought to have remained in there too
long and was deprived of two days leave.
Defendant denied that he had told an I'M
truth to Major Sylvester. The first he heard
of the crap game he said, was when Hilton
told him about it. Some time last Novem-
Der, he said, he had conversa- .on witt De-
tective Burrows about playing crap, but
not about the seventh precinct affair. He
said he told of rumor about man losing
his money al game of crap. and threaten
ing to kill himself with his revolver.
Attorney Lambert said the testimony was
SO plain that he hardly thought 1t neces-
sary to make any comments The testi-
mony he said, showed that his client had
made no statements respecting the crap
game until after his visit to police head
quarters, except the testimony of Police
man Hilton. He thought the latter was
honestly mistaken in the date upon which
he had the conversation with him.
The case of Sergt. Harry was then taken
up and Attorney Wolf appeared as counsel
for him.

G.. A. WEAVER LOWEST
RESULTS IN SEMI-FINALS OF THE
THREE SIxTEENS.
Best Match Of the Morning That Be-
tween Davidson and Mattingly,
Lead Shifting Constantly.

A stiff wind blew from the southeast this
morning in the faces of the players in the
Columbia Golf Club tourney, and the clos
ing days weather of this springs event was
not the most enjoyable for outdoor sport.
The rain In the early morning doubtless
scared away many who expected to play
in the big handicap, but was not heavy
enough to mar the course in the slightest
degree.
Today's program included the semi finals
and finals in the match play for the gov
ernors cup, the consolation cup and the
second consolation cup and the popular
handicap. The latter event is generally
locked forward to with pleasure by the
less skillful players, as their handicaps
place them on an equal footing with ex-
perts, and a good game will make them
prize winners.
The pairings for this mornings match
play of the sem-fnals in the three sixteens
were as follows:
First STANDARDIZATION and Mattingly, L..
L. Harlan and Baird.
Second sixteen-Maddock and Carr.
George Weaver and Winter.
Third sixteen-Woodruff and Derrick
Cameron and Sullivan.
The days sport began promptly at 10
o'clock the threatening weather hurrying
the players. The greens were found quite
slow, the players becoming aware of this

The engine driver reversed and the
grinding machine came along. in a cloud

When the passengers swarmed out
of the train, and men, women and chill
dren looked into the dizzy abyss they
realized what they had escaped. In an
instant they brushed the trainmen
away from the girl and Rugged and
kissed her as if she were the only heroine
on earth. Bob" Weaver, the engine

his arms, calling her an angel whom
Heaven had sent to save the train and
it's passengers. A dozen men. with

MIRACLE Oh TEE RAIL
Forty Passengers in Wreck That Orr
dinarily Should Have Killed All
of Them.

Johnston, Pa, Aug. 4.-The morn
ing train from lockwood to johns
town over the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, was wrecked, about $50
o'clock, at point between Border and
FOustwell, eight miles from this city.
One woman was fatally injured. anoth-
er probably so, and half dozen 9TH
ers SO badly hurt that they had to be
taken to the hospital. The most seri-
ously injured are: Miss Mabel Beach,
Somerset, Pa, cannot recover; Miss
Emma Vickroy, Windber, Pa, upper
jaw broken, teeth knocked out ami Sc
rious internal injuries, recovery in
doubt.
That the forty passengers on the
train escaped death is a little short of
miraculous. Owing to broken rail the
cars left the track, the engine and ten
der remaining on the rails. The bag
gage car rolled down the long and
steep embankment, turning over and
over, and landed in the creek standing
on the wheels. The smoker went only
part way down the bank, turning over
but once, and the coach did not go far
from the tracks, being held in place by
telegraph pole.

atoms must not be entirely soulless.
This is how it all came about, and
why Mamie Gibson is going to attend
the Asheville normal collegiate insti-
tute and secure the. education she has
dreamed of and wished for, and yet
felt would never be hers.
This is the story: Mamie Gibson,
the heroine, ii years old. lived in a
rough mountain hut with her father in
care of her younger brothers and sis
tiers. 1t is wild, stupendous region,
with the Black mountain range rising
high on every side. A river rushing
like torrent through the gorge below
spreads away in soft silver loneliness
as it reaches plateau in the wilderness.
Nannie's mother had died but few
weeks before, and, being the eldest, she
became the Little Woman" of the
household. She was at work about the
house cooking and caring for the chill
dren when suddenly the mountain trem.
bled, and with the roar and crash of a
cyclone an immense slab of the noun
