Michigan Central Railroad Will Con-

TWO SINGLE TRACK TUBES WILL

NEW YORK, March 22.-The ad-
visory board of engineers appointed
by the management Of the Michigan
Central railroad, to take charge OF
the proposed tunnel under the Detroit
river. from Detroit to Windsor, Can
ada. will meet here this afternoon to
open bids for the construction of the
tunnel The tunnel, including under
river section and approaches, will be
about a mile and one-half long, and
will be one of the biggest undertakings
of that kind in this country. The ad-
visory board consists of w. j. Wilgus,
chief engineer of the New York Cen

Immense Undertaking.

The work will be carried on under
the direction of the Detroit River
Tunnel company, which was organized
for the purpose. A force of engineers
The general plans call for two single
track tubes separated by a concrete
center wall and lined with concrete
The contract plans offered four de-
signs of tunnel for the part of the
work under the river, about half a
mile in length President Wilgus
has suggested a new engineering idea
which, he believes, will save time in
construction, minimize risk and result
in a saving of cost. His plan is to re-
place the present silt under the Detroit
river by impervious concrete through
which, without the use of shields, the
inner tubes, or tunnel proper, may be
constructed so as to secure water
tightness, continuity of strength and
good workmanship. Mr.. Wilgus' plan
does away with the use of cofferdams.
The large amount of concrete to be
deposited under water is a distinctive
feature of the plan. The concrete will
be deposited by divers. The shield
plan is similar in it's features to the
plan of tunnel construction of the tun-
nels under the North river.

The collision was between train No.
30, the Jacksonville express, and No.
81, the Washington and Southwestern
v~estibuled limited, both southbound.
The former train had stopped al the
top OF a heavy grade to repair a slight
breakdown and the other train dashed
into it before a hagman could get
back to give warning.
The heavy engine of the train plowed
into Mr.. Spencer's car, which immed.
lately caught fire. The wreckage was
piled around the engine and every
portion Of the woodwork on the en-.
CINE IA burned and the engine itself
torn and twisted into a useless mass
of debris.
Dispatcher Davis was alive when
taken from the wreck. He was crushed
about the lower part Of his body and
conscious to the end. He stated to q
passenger that he knew he was going
to die, and said, ''place your finger
on my mouth: IL feels SO good and
cold" In response to his pleadings,
a fellow passenger remained with hin
until he saw that nothing more coulG
be done for Davis.
Two passengers were taken from the
combination car of the rearward train
They were literally covered with heavy
baggage, thrown through the parti
ton from the baggage compartment
Both of them were badly hurt.

FATES AGAINST HIS WEDDING.
Sexton's First Choice EIoped and He
Hated to Waste the License.

The four Spence sisters, daughters
or Rev. Allen Spence, an elder OF the
Holiness" religious sect of Moores
Ferry, KY, evidently think there Is
better fish in the matrimonial sea
than Lewis Sexton, Young farm
hand, and have each Tilted him in
turn.
Sexton, few days ago, secured a
marriage license to take Miss Clar-
inda Spence as wife. Sexton had
with him the written consent Of the
girl, and secured the license without
trouble. He did not go after his prom
lsed bride at once, but concluded to
walt until the next day, as he thought
MS license would keep without ice.
Next morning Sexton put on his
Sunday best" and went to the
Spence residence, where he was in
formed that Clarinda. believing that
hs Sexton had not appeared the night
before he had concluded to desert her,
and that Edgar Highly, a former
suitor, having appeared on the scene,
she had eloped to Ohio with him and
been married.
Sexton was inconsolable for an
hour or so, but at last said that he
supposed as the license contained the
name of Spence it would make no
difference to him which one of the
Spence girls he married, and he al
ternately proposed to each of his for
mer sweetheart's three sisters, but
was rejected by each.
His pleadings OF the wasted H.
cense availed nothing, and he was
forced to return home without a wife.

Secret of Wavy Hair.

girl whose hair is only slightly
wavy naturally Is increasing the effect
by her arrangement of it at night.
Dampness makes the wave Before
going to bed she brushes her hair
thoroughly, and then braids it loosely.
With a damp, soft, wide nail brush,
reserved for the purpose, she lightly
brushes over the whole head, and
then raises the braid from her neck
to remove the weight of it from the
roots. With her fingers she then pats
the waves into place and with three
pins holds the braid at the back Of
the head.
The braid itself is still down, but
instead of hanging from her neck 1t
is at the back of her head In the
morning her hair is in deep waves
that brush out as she is doing it up,
but reappear when dampened.
After her hair is entirely dressed
she ties over it thin veil for fifteen
minutes, and when that is removed
her hair looks as though it were just
from the hands Of hair dresser, only
far prettier.

crate workmanship. The sheerest OF
materials has underslips of India silk,
sometimes in pale colors, sometimes
In white. A luxurious little gown for
a girl of 10 was composed of flounces
of hand-embroidered null or batlste,
the embroidery combination of Eng
lish eyelet and French stitches. Two
flounces formed the skirt, while a
third was arranged as bertha on the
low-necked blouse. The blouse itself
was plain save for a group of ten fine,
hand-run tucks down the front and
similar groups in the back where the
blouse closed. The sleeves were two
small puffs finished above the elbow
with a short ruffle of the embroidery.
A soft sash of palest pink messaline
with deeply fringed ends was worn
and an underslip Of pal pink silk gave
the gown warmer appearance than
it might otherwise have had.

A New linuerIe.

Among the newest things in corset
covers are the boned taffeta and
fine jersey waists, tight-f:ting, and
taking the place of the corset for
many thin people when wearing loose
frocks, and also being worn by those
of full figure as corset covers. Many
OF these are laced in the back and on
one shoulder. They are admirable in
concealing the break at the corset top
and in giving the smooth-line effects
so desirable.
AS usual in lingerie, much of 1t

Flounces Are Popular.

Flounces still have their day as
leaders in decoration. Circular ones
have come back with the circular
skirt and full fiounces of lace and
sheer stuffs are the delight of party
goers. Little frilly rufies make a pret-
ty trimming at all times, and when
these are finished with an edge of
ruching or ribbon along the hem the
effect Is dainty indeed.
