MISS JENNIE BAKER
FALLS DOWN WELL
NEAR bELLEFONTE
She Accidentally Stumbled Into
it While Walking Near the
Pathway.
RESCUED FROM DROWNING

Miss Jennie Baker Of 1911 Franklin
street. met with a narrow escape from
possible drowning, when she fell IN well
ncar Bellefonte avenue, Bellefonte last
night about Z o'clock. Miss Baker was
accompanied by another young woman
and the two evidently had walked from
the road to avoid the mud, when Miss
Baker met with her unfortunate accident.
The well was located but short distance
from the road In the darkness the young
women could not see it.
The companion of Miss Baker. seeing
her friends plight, began screaming and
from all directions to the aid of the young
woman. In the darkness it was
difficult at first to accertain what had
happened but In short time the plight
of the girl called for hasty action.
The well is about Is feet in depth and
is four feet in diameter. 1t WAS partly
filed with water. Miss Baker evidently
wedged herself as she fell and the
the water for this reason did not reach
any higher than her waist She wns scream
ing and moaning, while aid was being
sought Papers were burned in the dark
ness to assure her that aid was being OBJ
tanned
A rope was obtained from a nearby
house and this was thrown into the hole.
The young woman, however, said she
GOULD not hold it as one arm WA S numb.
A ladder was then sought and one was
finally obtained from the home of Ralph
Dinsmore.
The ladder WAS placed in the excava-
ton and braced on the side, Miss Baker
however, was unable to climb the ladder
and ono of the men st the top quick
N descended and brought her to
the surface. She was hurriedly removed
% q nearby home and was taken later to
the Delaware Hospital. At the hospital
It was learned that she had sustained a
dadocstion of the left shoulder. She is
still confined at the hospital.
The accident was the talk of BeIlcfonte
hst night and today II is understood
that the we'll is for . ccsspooI and that
The work has been going on for
some time. The name of the man who
reecoed the young woman and also of
her companion could not be learned.
Il Is believed that the two young women
had just stepped from Philadelphia
car and were walking to the home of
some friends they were going to visit.

By Associated Press to Every Evening
Philadelphia, Feb. 23.-Phiiadelphia

A telegram received from Adrian Audin,
president of the Municipal Council of
Paris, read:
I'VE are deeply affected by your thought
Of associating Lafayette to the celebrs-
tion of Washington's birthday. On our
side it is with double admiration and
sympathy that we recall on this day the
great memory of the father of American
independence. The Star Spangled Banner,
which we owe to your friendship, waves
over our city hall and blends its colors

PosrOFrCE CENTER.
Wilmington To Re Base Of Supplies For
Entire State.

Effective March Is, the Wilmington
Postoficc will become both the auditing
and supply centcr for tho business Of the
department throughout the State This
position it has held for New Castle
county, the Offices at Georgetown and
Dover having handled the details for
Sussex and Kent counties. The policy
of the post Office department throughout
the country, however has recently become
settled in the way Of centralixing the work
of each Postal District, SO far as oondi-
tions permit. In few of the States with
largo area, like Texas, more than one
accounting office is 4 matter of necessity; !;
but as a rule, ono for each State will
henceforth be the rule.
While the handling Of supplies, inolud-
ing stamps, forms and the numerous
articles needed in handling the post Office
business is constant one, the audits are
quarterly; although these involve no less
constant system of clerical supervision,
which will involve considerably more
labor for the present Office force and
eventually lead inevitably to its in
crease
The general result will be to add to tho
prestige of Wilmington as the representa-
tive city of the State.
