Tennis at Newport,

Newport R. l., August 16-The chief feature of the day before the opening of the twenty ninth annual champion ship tournament of the United States Lawn Tennis association on the Casino courts tomorrow was the appearance of former champion William J. Cloth fer in 8 practice match, and the an- nouncement that he would enter the tournament. Clothier recently sprained his ankle in a practice game at South ampton and 1t was feared that this in- jury would keep him out of the nation al championship matches. From his work thus far this season, he was been one of the favorites for the honor of challenging William A. Iarned of New Jersey. the present champion. Clothier played with T. R. Bell of New York this afternoon and his work showed no indication that he was handicapped any by his recent injury.

 REBUILDING BASKET FACTORY.

Guntersville. August 1e-(Special.)- Charging like wild brutes, two big run away mules came near being the death of or causing serious injury to Mrs. Ernest Segler and children late yesterday after noon. Mrs. Segler and children were re- turning from a walk to the river when, suddenly ahead, she heard rapid hoof sounds of the runaway team Gathering her children and baby buggy to one side of the road which was very narrow at this point, she awaited her fate. The cloud of dust created rendered the team almost indiscernable, hence their position in tha road was not clear. The team, frightened by locomotive, had broken the harness that bound them to a buggy and were now trailing the vehicle by the lines down the thoroughfare. Buck Cooper, in the buggy, who was holding the lines, caught a glimpse of the lady and children ahead, let go the lines and the team dashed by. the momentum of the vehicle carrying it onward struck, completely crushing the baby buggy from which the children had just been removed. Everybody scared but no one hurt.
 The sum of $5OO0 the amount demanded by D. R. Saunders, proprietor of the Stan dard Basket company, has been raised to go toward the rebuilding of his fac- tory here that was recently destroyed by fire pr. John A. Kyeth of New York city, a native of this place, contributed 5000 on the condition that the Guntersville Realty company, recently organized, give the same amount. It is said that MT. Saunders is pleased with the cooperation of the people here and considers the pos sibility of establishing a stove factory at this place in the near future.
