RAN INTO OPEN SWITCH.
Five Cars of Electric Train Deraied
at East Providence.

Providence, Aug. ia Fall Riv
er electric train of two cars ran upon
an open switch at the East Provi-
dence end of the College Hill tunnel
this forenoon, started down a twenty
foot embankment, but was stopped
when il crashed into a telegraph pole.
Two people were injured, but not Sc
riously.
The train was in charge of Conduc-
tor George n. Moffitt of Fall River
and Charles n. Cole of this city was
at the motor. The drawbridge was
open when the train came out of the
tunnel, and consequently the switch
was open. When the train left the
rails the motorman stood by his post.
There were some twenty passengers
aboard the train. Raymond A. Potter
of this city and his wife were seated
near the front of the first car. Pot
ter jumped out of his seat to protect
his wife and was thrown to the car
floor when the impact came with the
telegraph pole. He was later taken to
the Rhode Island hospital with several
fractured ribs. Mrs. Mary A. Parker
also became frightened and started TO
leave her seat. She was also bruised
but not as badly as Potter. She was
assisted home on the next Darlington
train. The other passengers kept their
seats and were uninjured.
An investigation was started imme-
diately by the New York, New Haven
& Hartford railroad to determine
whether or not the signal was w
when Motorman Mof1tt passed it on
his way to the open switch.

Mems Feet,

Would respectfully suggest to the
nerve doctors that they look into the
strange mental disease which makes
people put their feet in unusual and
unseemly places.
They put them on the seats. in the
cars, they drive them into the backs
Of your chair at the theater, they
rest their heels on. the top Of the seat
backs in open cars, they sit in all
kinds of places with their legs crossed
and their feet in the gangway.
At the theater last night, next to
me, a young gentleman sat with one
foot resting on his knee, his shoe very
nearly in my lap, and so enamoured
was he with the shape of his ankle he
had to keep twiddling with his shoe
string and shifting his foot 10 get new
points of view.
Finally l said, Pardon me: don't
you think you would be as comfortable
with your foot on the floor. Your shoes
are very pretty, but not bijou enough
for me to nurse" Didn't confuse him
a bit. He looked at me with darkling
scowl as if he din't know if he would
or he wouldn't, reluctantly put down
that foot, and elevated the other into
the lap of the lad with him, so that
l nursed his knee during the perform
ance.
Also in a restaurant supposed to be
patronized by civilized people, saw a
gentleman dining, his legs crossed at
right angles, one great foot stuck into
the aisle to trip walters and be wiped
by ladies' dresses.-Letter to New
York Times.

TENNIS GAMES
BROUGHT ON RELAPSE
Brooklyn Young Man Dies at Parents
Summer Cottage at Oswegatchie.

A sudden relapse, due to over exer-
ton in playing tennis, caused the
death on Friday of Clarence Burclkle
Wilson of Brooklyn, n. Y, at the
home of his parents at Oswegatchie.
Death, which occurred at $40 a. m,
Friday, was due to CASTRO enteritis, a
disease of the stomach.
The young man had been i'll for
three weeks from the disease. Tues
day he felt much improved and played
about twenty games of tennis. The
demand on his vitality brought on a
relapse, and there was a steady change
for the worse until death came.
The deceased was 10 years of age
and was the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles d. Wilson of 81 South Oxford
street, Brooklyn, N. Y. His mother
was formerly Miss Minnie Burckle of
New London, sister of Mrs. Charles
H. Klinck of Bath street. He was a
Junior in the Polytechnic institute of
Brooklyn and was to have resumed
with the senior class this fall. At
school he was prominent in football
and other athletics.
Besides his parents, an older broth
err Edward, and two sisters, Lucille
and Doris, survive. The body will be
taken to Brooklyn Monday next on
the 7.35 train.

WESTERN MALLET WIELDERS ARRIVE
President Mcdonald and c. c. King from Chicago for
Rogue Tournament-Play Bosworth and Rudd-Al
Ready for Next Week,

| London PLAYER has agreed to meet him,
but is to play Eddie Clark, the national
champion, first Clark challenged way
back in April and if Bosworth dis
poses of him he will then play KING.
Bosworth has been the holder of the
! medal for four or five years and has
successfully defended it against
number of challengers, although there
is now no court in New London where
he can keep in shape.
Three Springfield players, Eddie
Clark, the champion, Harold Clark and
Robert H. Steele, who won out in the
third division last year, have sent word
that they will leave their homes this
morning for Norwich and will be on
the courts this afternoon, getting into
shape for the tough rubs of next week.
Capt Harry Wahly and his son, w. II.
Wahly, an x-champion, are both ex-
pected from Washington, ID. c., today,
and both can be counted upon to give
any contestants a pretty run for the
honors in their respective divisions.
Captain Wahly Is in the second division
and his son in the first. Champion
Charles G. Williams from Washington
is expected on Monday.
All the visiting experts this year Will
find the grounds in the best possible
shape, due to the expert attention and
manipulation of A. w. Dickey, who
will be on hand throughout the tour
nament. and will probably be induced
to take hand in game some even
ing, although he is not to be a tourna-
ment player. What Hughey Jennings
is to baseball in the way of adding
/ ginger to a game, Mr.. Dickey is to
rogue when he gets into the fray with
the mallets and balls, and he has an
able second in Prof. Charles Jacobus
who is coming from Springfield. With
these two on the grounds it is assured
that no one will fall asleep.
1t is expected to have music on the
grounds each evening during the tour
nament, according to Secretary N. l.
Bishop. and. as in past years, the
Southern New England Telephone
company has very generously offered
to put in a telephone on the grounds
during the week of the tournament
This is a convenience appreciated by
| the players and the press.
Carleton P. Browning, with the as
sistance of Fred Symington, is to have
| charge of the soft drinks this year.

ATTORNEY JOHN &. BRADY
ON IMPORTANT MISSION
Enjoyed Special Trip Through South
on Seaboard Airline r. r. Reorsan-
ization.

John Z. Brady of New York city
but formerly of this city, was among
the party of attorneys which recently
Travelled through the south for the
purpose of conducting the annual
stockholders meetings of the Seaboard
Airline Railway company. The most
important business brought before the
meeting was the adoption of a reor-
ganization plan and the ratification of
a bond issue of $3.50, 000, 600. Meetings
were held in each of the six states
in which the road operates: At Pc
tersburg, Va, Raleigh, n. c., Column
bia, S. c., Jacksonville, Fla, Atlanta,
Ca, and Birmingham. Ala. Judge
Leigh r. Watts of Portsmouth, gen.
eral counsel for the railway company,
presided at the various meetings. 9th
ers in the party were +. H. Stinch-
field of New York, A. N. Wright of
Portsmouth, Va, and NJ. L. Hudgins,
secretary to Judge Watts.
In letters to his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles e. Brady of Shetucket
street, Attorney Brady, who repre-
scented the stockholders, speaks en-
Enthusiastically of the true southern
hospitality with which they were ev-
erywhere received on their trip of IL
days. They travelled in a private car
with diner attached. but in every city
they were banqueted with the promi-
nent men of the place, making the
trip one of delightful acquaintances
and associations, while business of
great Importance was transacted.
The choice of the former Norwich
boy for such a mission was a self
evident tribute to his ability.

The vanguard Of visiting rogue
| players for the national tournament
here next week on the Rockwell street
grounds arrived Friday morning and
comprised National President ]. HI.
Mcdonald and c. c. King. both of Chi
cago. AS soon as possible they were
headed for the courts on Rockwell
street, where they were warmly greet
ed by the ground keeper, A. W.. Dickey,
and invited to peel off their coats for a
| game. A point of difference they COM
mented upon when embarked in their
game was the greater springiness OF
the arches on these grounds as COM
pared with the arches on their own
courts, making it not quite so easy
to put the balls through as on their
home grounds. However, they began
to solve the secret of just the right
stroke needed and will profit in the
tournament by the games they were
able to play Friday.
In the afternoon Harold Bosworth of
New London, who finished second in
the first division last year, was on the
grounds, and tackled President Nc
Donald for a series of games in which
the New Londoner had the advantage.
Bosworth was playing his usual beau
tiful smooth running game and when
he succeeded in getting the balls it
was usually a seat on the side lines
for Mcdonald until the young man
from New London had run the game
out. The national president showed up
with a good eye on some long shots
from one end to the other of the court
on which he gathered in the balls. and
Bosworth showed remarkable skill in
his bank shots, three times in success
sion taking the balls from Mcdonald
on carom. when the Chicago man
had left him no open shot.
Mr.. King linked up with Tracy Rudd
for a series of games in which they
were quite evenly matched, but the
Chicago man showed he is in good
form. He has two private courts of his
own at Chicago which are probably
the best in the city and the most
played on. There are three clubs with
courts also besides Mr. Kings. One
other player, Professor Ever is ex-
pected from Chicago, President Nc
Donald said Friday.
Mr.. King has challenged Bosworth
for the Van Wickle medal and the New
