Frightful Fall of an Unknown
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Escape
From Death - Wo-
mans Work.

An unknown woma about thirty years
old, we'll dressed and handsome, was
seized with a sudden fainting spell near
the top of the Lossburg steps in West Ho-
boken yesterday, and fell over on her
side. The momentum OF her fall carried
her down a few steps. and as she was I'M
conscious. the force thus gained carried
her on down the steps. She rolled and
bumped from step to step, and at times
seemed in danger of rolling from the
steps off to the side of the bluff, aud fall
ing below, which would have caused in
slant death, out by some strange circum-
stances she kept upon the narrow steps in
her descent until she reached the bottom
of the steps aCithe old Turnpike Road in
Weehawken.
Here she lay unconscious on the ground.
When she came to. three men, who were
Mortified to see u form rolling down the
steep steps, rushed to her assistance. She
was unable TO arise herself and the men
supported her to the street n put her
on n horse car going towards Ho6oken,
where she suid she lived. She would not
give her name. No bones were broken.
but the wonder is that anyone could sur
vive such an experience, as the steps are
steep and over 800 feet high.
A Fist Duel in West Hoboken,
Antonio Pietro and Augustus Francois,
two silk weavers of West Hoboken, quar-
relied yesterday over the favors of Il pretty
operative In the mill where they work
The fair one with the accustomed keeness
of her sex was loath to bestow on either of
the gentlemen in question any more cou-
sideration than was given to the other.
She was coy and would not allow either
of her dark suitors to boast his possession
of her entire heart. This worried both and
Yesterday they met on Summit avenue.
A rather supercilious sneer from PietrO
drew down upon his nose the fist of
Francois, and Pietro replied in kind. A
sharp fist duel was the consequence, and
when they were pulled apart each had
works OF violence upon him and nc favors
from the lady to show for them. Both
declare they intend to secure warrants.
