BURIED BENEATH WALL
TWO NEGROES WE'RE CAUGHT BY A
 CAYE-IN.
Accident to WOrkmen Engaged on New Exchange Hotel Attracted Great Crowd to Witness
 Rescue Work.

Jordan Flowers and George Wash ington, negro laborers engaged in the erection of the New Exchange Hotel, were yesterday afternoon buried by the collapse of a brick wall. Flowers es- capped unhurt, while Washington sus- tained a painful though not serious scalp wound. The escape of both men from instant death was remarkable
 In the rear of the clothing store of George P. H. Hahrdt, a deep trench had been dug by laborers. preparatory to erecting a large brick retaining wall The Haardt property Is separated from the Exchange Hotel property by a brick wall of uncertain age. The digging of the trench seems to have undermined the Haardt wall.
 At o'clock yesterday afternoon a dozen or more negro laborers were dig ging in the trench. Suddenly a rumb- ling sound was heard and the foreman of the gang cried to the men to run for their lives. The Haardt wall fell with crash. All the negroes, with the ex- ception of Flowers and Washington made good their escape. When the la borers turned about they saw Flowers covered by brick and debris up to his arm pits, while nothing was seen of Washing gton.
 The laborers immediately began the WYE VI CASdN dllilB W dSHlnSLOn rom his perilous position. There was little hope among them that the laborer would be taken from the debris alive Clifford A. Lanier, a prominent stock holder and director of the Hotel Com pany was present at the time of the accident and immediately telephoned for a surgeon.
 large crowd assembled, many climb ing to adjacent buildings to watch the rescue work.
 In the meantime the laborers worked rapidly and in few moments the ton of the head of Washington was dis cerned. Pick and spade were piled eag- erly and in few more minutes the en- tire head of the negro was seen with | a cruel gash in the back of the skull Flowers with the assistance of hy- islanders had managed to squirm from his semi-buried condition, and after wiping the brick dust from his face. joined fin the work of rescue. He was entirely unhurt.
 Jess lost my hat, boss" he said. when asked as to his condition "and I'm tellin' you dat is one hat Ise cer- tainly glad to lose."
 A murmur of relief passed through the crowd when Washington with only his head above ground, cried out for the workmen to proceed with greater haste. It was the first sign of life dis | played by him.
 The work continued rapidly. Dur ing the eXcavating another section of the wall on which a number of specta tors were standing collapsed, but all escaped unhurt.
 After an hours work: Washington, with head bleeding, but able to walk was led to a waiting carriage The spectators applauded as he was assisted out Of the trench. He was taken to a nearby drug store. where his wound was dressed and he was then driven to his home near Riverside Park. The attending surgeon said the wound was not of a serious nature | Work on the hotel building did not cease for five minutes on account of | the accident

 Ethelda laughed, but she looked at l me queerly. What do you know about Arthur olivant?" She laughed again. | T declare I must tell Jack! I'd almost | forgotten Arthur Ollvanti" At that minute an uproarious medley | of barks and screams rose on the lawn.

When Agnes indignant | fright had been pacifed, Ethelda had | forgotten Arthur olivant, and did not lJesume the subject. The next day-ah, that day,-I had a start. Jack had been out that morn ing shooting sqirrels. heard him | come in. and move about in the library; afterwards the door of his den slammed. Remembering something I wanted to | say to him, I went towards the den. Some obscure impulse made me pause at the open library door. For an in- stant I could have sworn that I saw | the figure of a woman, with its back towards me, bending over the library | table in an attitude of muscular strain, trying to lift or move some object on | the table. And that delicate, straining | figure was Helens! The illusion passed as abruptly as 1t came. The white window curtain | blown inward, half over the table, in | the darkened room had lent itself to the momentary hallucination. | At dinner we tested with Jack on his mornings sport

 "I believe I left 1t on the library table" he returned carelessly. | Jack" cried Ethelda, How could you! And the baby about all the af- ternoonr

BELL FELL DOWN STEPS.
Tragedy was Narrowly Averted at I

Tragedy was Narrowly Averted at PO-
 lice Headquarters.
 While the new police bell was being hauled up the steps of police head quarters yesterday morning about 9 o'clock, the rope attached to it broke and the big 600 pound piece of brass took rapid flight down the steps, narrowly missing a negro in it's path and wrecking the door at the stairway entrance.
 The bell was not damage and was yesterday afternoon safely lodged in the bell tower.
 The workmen with windlass and tackle had gotten the bell up to the top step when the rope suddenly gave way under the strain and turned the heavy weight loose on its downward plunge. Jesse Fitzpatrick, a negro, who had ust returned from Pratt Mines after serving a three years sentence for grand larceny committed in Mont gomery, was just at the bottom of the stairs, preparing to go up to see the policemen when the bell started down. He jumped up on the side hand rail of the stairway as the bell crashed by him and in that way saved himself from being crushed into atoms.
 A new door will in all probability have to be erected in place of the dam aged one.

 went down to Maple Lodge that summer for a reason no sane person would have recognized. I could not bear the place after Helen died; and when Ethelda became its mistress two years later a vague resentment and disgust still kept me away. Not that blamed Ethelda. She had not known Helen as I had known her, or as Jack had known her. But as for Jack. How could a man who had shared Helen's perfect love, who had received her peerless devotion, her exquisite daunt- jess tenderrfess-how could he replace her with another? His had not been common marriage tie to be forgotten like common ties. I made no breach with them, but I, at least, would. not see Ethelda's handsome, full-blooded, vivacious presence in the places where Helen had been.
 I had actually written my refusal of Ethelda's annual invitation. Some &C., cident delayed. posting, and it lay on my table the night I dreamed the only dream which ever influenced my &C., tion.

Then it seemed she left me and went rapidly down the lane, her dress futtering about her tall, light figure between the locust trees. I tried to run after her, to call her back, my heart beating hard with longing and regret-and so woke. t.a->ss

As far as I knew I had never heard the name. What could I think but-Ethelda was handsome and viva cious and full-blooded. Perhaps Maple Lodge and Jack were dull. And yet Ethelda was a self-respecting woman and she had child. It was none of my business. But in the end, went to Maple Lodge.

 Maple Lodge seemed like a different Face. The blackberry tangle was gene, and half the locust trees had been cut away. Ethelda's lighter taste had
 metamorphosed the rooms. Besides, the presence of the child-a robust. venturesome little elf-altered every thing. After all, it is natural and right to forget. Yet I had pang when Jack condemned the white rosebush by the dining room window. We must have it dug out Ethelda. The roses blight

Baucher, the proprietor and manager of the Baucher Carnival Com pany, and offered to go to Luverne and advertise his show there. The propo- sition, he alleges. was accepted by the carnival company management. Over the country surrounding Luverne God shaw says he had numerous small boys tacking up showy placards telling the populace of the coming of the Baucher Carnival Company and the various forms of amusement that company presented. For these services he gave the small boys passes to the attrac- tions of the carnival company.
 He returned to Montgomery Monday and approached Baucher, so his story goes, for the stipend guaranteed him for his services.
 Now, Godshaw explains that when a carnival man is "dunned' in a small town and he has not the wherewith to pay. said carnival man cries. Hey huDe rms hey RuDe' has many of the virtues of "open sesame" and Is guaranteed to have about the same eff feet as a blast upon the horn of Rod ertck Dhu.

 Godshaw alleges that he "dunned' Baucher near the Bijou Theatre. No sooner had he made the dun" than Baucher yelled Hey Rube."
