AN ALEXANDRIA LADY Run OVER AND
INJURED IN WAsHNGToN-T Washington
Republican of this morning says - esterday,
about noon, as Mrs. Y. g. Neale of Alexandria,
accompanied by her daugh liter and lady friend
was crossing the open space at the intersection
of Louisiana and Pennsylvania avenucssa man
came driving down the former street at rapid
rate, and before the ladies could get out of the
way Mrs Neae, middle aged lady, was
Knocked dnown and run over, receiving i Sc
we're cut on the left side of the face above the
eye, aud near the temple, so close that an inch
nearer the injury might have proved fatal.
Her left arm was broken in two places between
the wrist and the elbow She was taken up by
some gentlemen who witnessed the accident.
but were not near enough to prevent it, aud
carried to Narn's drug store, at the corner of
Ninth street and the Avenue, where the
wounds about the had were dressed by Dr. Nc.
Blair, and she was afterwards taken to the resi-
dence of Dr. Hall, where assisted by Dr. Gar
nett. the broken bones OF The arm were reset,
aud at t o clock she returned To Alexandria.
1t is said that the reckless drivers name was
Austin, hut beyond that nothing detu'te could
be- obtained concerning him. Such men should
be unprecedented and brought to justice. This
one seemed perfectly indifferent as TO what
larm he had done or the injuries inflicted, for
after running over the lady he drove on NY
the Avenue without stopping to make any in-
,luiry into her condition.
In consequence of delay occasioned by the
cars getting off the track. aud of the jostling
she experienced, by the time Mrs. Neae reach
cd this city, the bandages on her wounds had
hccume displaced, and her hand and arm were
perfectly blue DrS French and Lewis, how
ever who were summoned to her assistance as
dSarraugcd dressings, and this morning, her
numerous friends will be glad to learn she had
considerably improved. and will, it is thought,
soon be out again. The ouly serious wound
she received was fracture Of the prominent
boue Of the elbow joint.

would accompany him in the buggy, and no
objection being offered they both got in and
started for the city. Fisher was driving,
