Prominent People Have Harrowing Experience on Pleasure Trip. Newr York. United States District Attorney Baker of Washington, who successfully prosecuted the government land frauds in the northwest, and his bride of twro months and several friends who were accompanying them on their honeymoon, had an almost miraculous escape from death on Tuesday. While the automobile in which they were traveling was running down a sharp hill on Walnut mountain, near Liberty, N. Y., the machine got out of control and plungt over a precipice nearly 300 feet in height. The machine, a big covered car, turned three complete somersaults in the air and lodged in the boughs of a tiee thirty feet from the brink of the There it hung suspended, precipice. top downward, with the frightened occupants held prisoners in the inclosed top of the machine. When they were extricated from their perilous position, all were more or less bruised, but none seriously injured. TOWN WRECKED BY WATER. of Water Causes Heavy Property Loss at Bisbee, Arizona.

One side of Main street, including the postofTice, in less than ten minutes was changed front two hundred yards of big store's, costly saloons and business offices to a mass of wreckage by rocks, water and mud that came tumbling down off the mountain side. Postmaster M. E. Cassidy and Sheriff Jack White, who were in the postmaster's office, narrowly escaped with their lives, as did the force of eighteen girls employed in the postoffice, when the imush of water almost without warning struck the side of the building and filled it to a depth of six feet. Huge boulders and tons of dirt and rocks slid into the first floor of the postoffice, where was at work. Mountain the-forc- e Inhuman Mother Sets Fire to Child. Cleveland O. Confessing that she had bound the hands of her child with rags and set them afire, Mrs. Helen Nagy has been sentenced to serve three months In the workhouse.

Neighbors rescued the child before she wa's badly burned. f four-vear-ol- d d three-weeks-ol- and provisions. Loggers to the number of eighty in the camps of the Ely Lumber company have perished in the flames and settlers with their families, who lived on the line of the railroad between Fernie and Michel, have disappeared. The death total will probably grow larger, and a special dispatch from Winnipeg declares that It will reach 400. When the flames were consuming Fernie all the prisoners, with the exception of five Black Hand suspects, were released. Later they were recaptured and sent to Nelson. Crowds of refugees have already arrived at Nelson, the overflow from Cranbrook. These are being cared for as mich as possible, but their condition is pitiable. In their flight they brought nothing away but the clothes they stood in. The failure to establish the double umpire system is not the only defenseless point in baseball. Until the men responsible for the official aver a sensible method ages produce whereby the rights of the pitchers are clearly established, the game is bound to be a jumble of misunderstanding. At present, if a pitcher leaves the box while his team is in the lead, no matter if he has pitched but half an inning, he gets credit for a victory, unless the man who follows him in the box is beaten. In the latter case the man who follows is charged with the defeat. "Who is credited with the game? is asked after almost every game in which more than one pitcher works. And no matter what opinion is handed down by experts who have watched the game, the powers that be usually reverse the decision, when the official score reaches headquarters. Upon what foundation shall rules be established to decide to whom games shall be credited? The answer is simple. Common sense ought to rule, not rules that were invented years ago. Neither should men sitting in offices hundreds of miles away, probably, pass judgment when they know nothing of the conditions surrounding the lifting of one pitcher It and the substitution of another. would seem that the official scorer, who represents the president of the league at every game, would be more competent to judge which pitcher wins or loses than anyone else. Edward Leslie Grant, the young infielder who joined the Phillies in June, 1907, after graduating from the Harvard Law school that month, is a native of Franklin, Mass., where he was born 26 years ago. He first attracted attention as a baseball player with independent teams in and around Boston. Late in 1905 he was utilized by the Cleveland club for a short time $5,400,000; present. Spokane the First to Send Relief. Spokane, Wash. Relief from Spo kane was the first to reach the fire refugees of Fernie. Over 2,000 are- being cared for at Cranbrook, and the first car sent out by Spokane citizens arrived there Monday morning. A special car loaded with tents, clothing, 3.000 loaves of bread, 150 gallons of milk and other foodstuffs left Monday afternoon. At a mass meeting of citizens over $1,000 was subscribed in a half hour and a relief committee appointed to raise more funds and start regular shipments of food to the - flre-ewe- pt district. Pluck of Property Owners. Fernie, B. C. Amid the smoking embers of their homes and offices, with the great forest fire still roaring in the ditsance, the plucky men of Fernie, B.

He not only ranked high as a third baseman, but led the Eastern league batsmen for the 1906 season. When Manager Murray signed with the Philadelphia club he secured Grant also for the same club by purchase. Mr. Murray was absolutely confident Grant would make good as a major league player. When he joined the Phillies last year he was handicapped by lack of condition, but he made a good showing despite that fact and subsequent injuries. This season he has been doing fine work.
