ELEVATOR DROPS AND
SHAKES UP CITY HALL.
Occupants Had a Close Call in Fall to
the Basement-Chandelier Just
Missed Them.

A serious accident was narrowly
averted yesterday afternoon when a
cable holding one of the big elevators
in the City Hall parted with a snap
and precipitated the huge car from the
first floor to the basement with a
crash that was heard all over the
building.
In the car at the time was the ele-
vator man, George Drifting, and A.
Francisco, and when the elevator
struck the air cushions in the base
ment both were thrown to the floor
with great force, and a glass chande-
lier attached to the roof of the car
was hurled to the floor, narrowly miss
ing the men.
So great was the force with which
the globe hit the floor that it cut a
great cash in the rubber flooring, and
had it struck either of the men they
would have been seriously injured, IL
not killed.
The crash was heard all over the
building, and the huge steel frame re-
bounded several times, shaking the oc-
cupants of the municipal hall severely
Custodian Weisseman is having the
car repaired today.

Miss Archer. Who ROWed
Out to Sea, Supposed TO
Have Been Picked Up.
SKIPPER SAW THE WOMAN
Was Out in Fishing Craft and
Observed Her in Rowboat.
Father Does Net Believe
Daughter Has Committed
Suicide.

NEW YORK, Oct. Norman l..
Archer, father of Miss Emma I. Archer,
the Brooklyn girl who disappeared
from a rowboat off Manhattan Beach
on Wednesday, heard a story today
that Captain Thomas Bell, of the fish
ing boat Irene, alleged his daughter
was alive and was being carried to sea
on a black sloop. Whether she boarded
this sloop voluntarily, prompted by
some romantic impulse, or was picked
up when her own boat foundered in
the waves is not explained in the story
told by Captain Bell.
Until Bell told his story to the father
and the police of Sheepshead Bay it
was generally believed that Miss
Archer had been drowned-that she
had either cast herself overheard from
the rowboat or had rowed too far from
the mainland and had been washed
from the craft by waves.
James Martin, the Sheepshead Bay
boatman, who rented the boat to Miss
Archer on Wednesday morning, has re-
ported that when he last saw her she
was pulling from shore in a heavy
sea. She seemed to be an expert oar,
and while he marveled that she should
brave such waves in a small boat he
thought she must know h she was
doing.
Captain Bells story to Mr.. Archer
and the police was as follows:
ST was on my way out to the fish
cries Wednesday morning." he said,
when l saw a young woman rowing
to the eastward. She was far way
from me, and though the sea was rough
she seemed to be going fast, and it
was evident she wa no novice at the
oars. Thinking it strange a woman
should brave death as she was doing.
1 put out after her with all sails set.
Then l noticed a big sloop coming out
of the mist and making for the lone
boat.
1.-THE sloop was carrying jib and
mainsail and fairly flying before the
wind. The girl headed her boat straight
for this sloop. When near the big boat
the latter hove to. Then l knew the
girl was safe, and ceased the chase and
pointed toward the fisheries. l. don't
believe the girl drowned. If she had
fallen overheard she was so close to
the sloop that she could have been
saved"
Miss Archer had been studying hard
and was in a state. AS her
father told at the time of her disap-
pearance she was ambitious to go to
Vassar, and had burned the midnight
oil all last year at the Packer Institute,
where she was a student, and had con-
tinued her studies during the summer
when she and her mother and sisters
were in the Adirondacks. Mr.. Archer,
however, does not believe that the girl
would have committed suicide.

by a passing auto crashing into their
wagon. They were Jacob and Clark
Holcombe and their families, of Rim

Baldwin's Hill on a curve, the auto

were all thrown into a ditch and the
wheels and springs of h wagon
broken.
The auto party did not stop to in

The woman who puts on a severely
tailored dress and then adds to it all
the little accessories that belong to
calling costume is sorry sight, yet
one that we meet many times in our
journeys. Why is it that many SEN
sible women will do these unaccount-
able things? For instance. take a
woman who, the other day, had on a
tailor-made gown, stiff black hat, dog
skin gloves, ali of which were in good
taste for a morning outfit; but to spoil
the whole picture and utterly with
out reason she had in her hand a
beautiful white purse beaded with
gold and green. What she should
have had was small leather purse or
shopping bag. and the gaudy bag she
carried should have been left at
home until she was dressed in ac-
cordance.
Another common fault is wearing
handsome afternoon gown of some
nice material. elaborately trimmed, a
feather hat and a pair of old black
gloves. What could be worse? Think

John Marshall Glenarm had probably
hever been so happy in his life as on
that day of his amazing Homecoming.
He laughed at us and he laughed with
us, and as he went about the house ex-
planning his plans for its completion,
he chaffed us all with his shrewd
humor that had been the terror of my
boyhood.
"Ah, If you had had the plans of
course you would have been saved a
lot of trouble; but that little sketch of
the Door of Bewilderment was the
only thing / left,-and you found 1t,
Jack.-you really opened these good
books of mine"

marks of battle, and we gave Bates a
hand in cleaning up the wreckage,-

tered, which had been built between
false walls, and we played ghost for
one another, to show just how the
tread of a human being around the
chimney sounded. There was much to
explain, and my grandfather's contri-

that my heart warmed to him. He

shaking hands with Larry and Stod-

friends as well as mine.
The prisoner in the potato cellar re
ceived our due attention; and my
grandfather's Joy in the fact that an
agent OF the British government was
held captive in Glenarm House was
cheering to see. But the mans de-
tention was a grave matter, as we all
realized, and made imperative the i'm

To Preserve Raisins.

Late in the fall, or early in WINTER,
as soon as the fresh seeded raisins
come in, buy as many as you will need
during the hot weather. Remove from
boxes and pack into glass fruit jars.
Set the jars in a pan of cold water;
put on the stove, and boil until
hot through (about one hour). Then
seal the bottles tight, and the raisins
will keep moist and fresh until the
next winter 1t is best to put block
of wood in the pan under the bottles to
keep them from cracking.
