Death Loves a Shining Mark.

II is with deepregret tflatwe announce
the death OF Miss Marie Muzzey, eldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank w. Muz-
zey, of Philadelphia, which occurred last
Monday night at their summer home,
Rockland, near Shepherdstown. Herfa-
tai illness was typhoid fever, from which
she had suffered for the past three or four
weeks. All that medical skill and the
best of nursing could do former was done,
but from the first she was very sick, and
for the week previous TO her death the
worst had been feared. When the news
of her death became known Monday
night il cast a gloom over the people OF
the community, for mixed with the sor-
row caused by the passing OF so sweet a
life was the greatest sympathy for the pa
rents and the household where she was
so dearly loved.
Miss Muzzey spent much OF her time
here, coming with her parents in the
spring and usually remaining until the
autumn. All who knew her loved her,
for she was sweet and gracious and amia-
BILE, and had wide circle Of friends who
esteemed her for her many beautiful quail
tiles of mind and heart. She was Chris
tan woman, an exemplary member OF the
Episcopal Church, and was among those
pure in heart who shall surely see God.
II is indeed sad that one so young and so
sincerely loved should be cut off when
life was so sweet and the future so bright,
and those who mourn her death can only
look for consolation to Him who is too
wise to err, too good to be unkind, and
submissively bow to His will.
The deceased, who was 25 iyears OF
age, is survived by her parents, one sis
ter, Florence, and two brothers, William
and Frank S. The latter is now i'll in
Philadelphia with typhoid fever, but is
reported TO be doing well. The body was
taken to Philadelphia yesterday for burial
The family have the sincereSt Sympa-
thy of their many friends here in the great
bereavement that has come to them. Nj.
and Mrs. Muzzey and their children have
always had the highest respect and re-
gard of our people, and the hearts OF all
90 out 10 them in their sorrow.

FACULTY DEFEATS SENIORS.
Annual Base Ball Game Won by
Faculty to the Amusement of a
Large Audience.

The annual base ball game be
tween the faculty and the senior
class of Washington State College
was won by the faculty last Mon
day. The game was interesting and
hotly contested The report of the
game, as written by Horace E.
Smith, is here given:
The college faculty took a fall out
of the conceit of the seniors this
afternoon by defeating them in the
annual senior faculty base ball game.
The game was fast and exciting from
start to finish. The score stood 10
to in the first half of the ninth,
the seniors holding the margin. The
faculty came to bat and with hits,
steals and a little loose playing by
the seniors, brought in three runs,
winning 10 to II.
Professor Carpenter, head of the
department of mechanical and elect
rical engineering, was on the rubber

graduated from w. S. C. in '06 with
four years of football and base ball
as his athletic honors. Professor Car
penter is graduate of Illinois, more
years ago than he cares to admit
but he still has his pitching ability
and kept the seniors guessing this
afternoon.
Before the game the seniors parad-
ed the town in fantastic costumes on
series of floats drawn by a trac-
ton engine. The senior band of 10
pieces was used by the rooters during
the game, while the faculty, so the
seniors claim, threatened to funk the
bunch If the seniors won.

Accident Narrowly Avcrted.

The passenger train to Colfax
Thursday morning narrowly escaped
a disastrous wreck. The first
bridge this side of Riverside was
found to be in bad condition when
the section crew passed over it and
a careful examination showed that
one of the bents was leaning so far
that it was not supporting the bridge
at all. The section foreman mott
fled the bridge gang, which was at
Riverside, and the work of repairing
the damaged bridge was begun at
once. The train from Pullman was
Tagged and held for half an
hour while the bridge was being
strengthened. The bridge carpen-
ters declare that the bridge would
have collapsed had the train ran
upon it in its weakened condition and
had the section foreman not dis
covered the damaged bent a bad
wreck might have resulted.~~.
