IN HER THROAT.
A New York Working Woman Swallow Needle.

NEW YORK, July 25.-Miss Annie Springer, or. as she is better known by her acQuain- sances, Miss Annie Murphy, is an employee at E. Koggwiller's Swiss embroidery factory, at b6 Mercer street. Yesterday afternoon she was engaged on some intricate work, and had her mouth full of needles. a habit quite common among the workers of this partcu- lar kind of embroidery.
 She wanted 6 spool of silk, and in reaching for it swallowed one of the needles. It lodged across her throat. and caused her much pain. She removed the other needles. and then swallowed piece of bread to see If she could start the recreant one.
 The effort proved futile, and then she began to cry. Her throat swelled rapidly, and the other girls, becoming alarmed, advised her to go immediately to the New York Hospital.
 She left the factory and hastened for her husband. Finding him the two were ushered into the presence of House Surgeon Clark. He made an examination and found that the needle was firmly embedded in the tissues of the young woman's throat.
 MT. Springer wanted the piece of steel re- moved, but the surgeon said that the young woman would have to remain At the hospital until she had fully recovered.
 She objected to any operation. and the hus- band was 10th to have her remain. They de- parted saying that they would consult their family physician.
 To a reporter. Surgeon Clark said that the case was an extraordinary one. and he wanted very much to have the young woman remain in the hospital
 The surgeons have never had an opportun- ity to watch tho progress of a case like this. and they were much disappointed when Mrs. Springer refused to remain.
 About three months ago." said Dr. Clarke. i've held an autopsy on 8 body here and in the tissue of the heart we found a pin. It had entered headf1rst and was wholly embedded.
 'It must have been tbere for a long time, but 1t had nothing to do with the patients death. Peculiar as that case was. I do mol think 1t was bit moro interesting from 6 soi- entiic point of view as this one would have proven"
 ''In the present instance Is the situation oi needle likely to prove fatal?' "I don't think so. You know that needles have a very mysterious habit of roaming si large through the female system" "In Mrs. Springer's ease think the needle will pass through the wall of the throat, and ultimately find its way out through some re. 1 mote part of tho body"
