FELL IN AN CD" CAR.
Was Hiss Pichler'S Injury Due
To a Sudden StOppage.

ueu stopping OF an elevated IrSln IL
the One Hundred Fifyfii street STA
ton las; Monday night. still lies ia a
very precariOns condition st the Maa-
haitian hospital. The acci lent which
came near costing the woman her life
is considered by the physicians of the
hospital a most peculiar one, and the
only one of the kind which has come
under their observation. To further
c0mplicate the afi;iIr, the authorities
of the elevated road deny that the
woman was on the train when she
received her injuries, while three com.
panions Of the victim declare that her
injuries were so received.
The woman had little to saw since
she first lost InsciOusness. She was
a domestic up to two months ago,
when illness caused her to lose her
situation and 90 to the Charity hos
pital. On sewing there she went to
the house of her friend, Mrs. Forster,
No. 1928 Eighth avenue. Monday
night she decided to attend the
butchers masquerade ball at the Alta
lanta Casino, One Hundred and Fifty
fifth street and Eight avenue. Mrs.
Forster, whose husband is employed
In a downtown Wholesale establish
ment, says she and Miss Pichler and
two other friends left the house at 10
o'clock and boarded train at One
Hundred and Thirty-fiith street. 1t
was just 1915 when the train stopped
at the One Hundred and Fifty fifth
street station. Mrs. Forster and Mrs.
Karenberg were else to the door of
the Car, while Miss Picbler and her
female friend were behind. The train
stopped very suddenly, and they all
arose. Then the train gave a sudden
b edward lu,ch and Miss Picbler was
thrown of her feet and fell across the
seats of the car, striking her stomach
against one of them. The car then
settled back and she was thrown in
the opposite direction. The party
left the car, but before they reached
the bot ON of the station stairs Miss
Pich!er put her han.is 20 her sides
and exclaimed:
"Oh, | am so faint !"
ASKED what the trouble was she
said she believed that she was bleed
ing to death. She bad become ghast-
~ pale and was hurried into the near
est door of the Casino, only q few

doct r was summoned and she was
picked up by couple of strong men
ana carried upstairs and laid on a
oed. Her clothing was removed and |
by this time DR.. l.. A. Rodepstcin ar.

OF syncope. Artificial respiration was
resorted to and kept up for ten min
utes and this, the physicians at the
hospital say, was what saved her life.
ohe bled prOfusely. and there was
much difficulty in stopping the flow. [,
An officer was despatched to ring ND {
IN ambulance, but he found the cali | !
'ox out OF order and had t. 20 to the :
= station to communicate with Police /
headquarters. This caused some de. :
~, and it was 11:57 when the Man. q
attain Hospital received notice of the ;,
all. An ambulance was sent ont h
nd the patient was taken to the hos, a
tai, where. the doctors and surgeons n
orked with her until after 9 o'clock n
'fore she was out of danger, nj
Since that time she has lain in q n
lpor and no one is allowed to con. M
rse with her. DIR. Lombard, the al !
