STRICKEN ON STATE STREET.

An Unknown Woman Falls Uncon. scious on the Street-Tak en 10 the
 Hospital, Where She Died an Hour
 After Admission without Rezainfng - -COnsciousness-Ide Later as
 Lillie Carson.
 Shortly after 2 o'clock last evening an unknown woman, while walking on State street, between Court and Elm streets, was suddenly seen to reel and fall prone on the side walk in front of Crowley's saloon. Superintendent of Police Smith and others who happened to bs in the vicinity rushed to her assistance and found her psnting on the sidewalk in an unconscious condition. In her fall she had struck her head against the curbstone and the blood was slowly triokling from small cut near the left temple. --
 The police ambulance was summoned and the woman was taken to the hospital, arriving there about 7:30 o'clock. At S:45 she died without having regained con- sciousness, and her identity remained a | mystery. In her possession was found a black purse in which was a small scrsp of | paper on which was written "119 Bradley | St." and ''P. H. Rsfter, 126 Jackson St.. Long Island City, N. Y." The purse also contained five csnts and an old-fashiened watch key.
 When she was being placed in the am. bulance some one in the crowd, which had gathered, stated that the woman lived with Caleb Luddington, and this clue was st l once worked out to establish her identity l One of the Grand avenue officers was sent to MT. Luddington's house where it wal learned that she was the step daughter o1 Justin B. Luddington of 190 Qoinnipiat street, watchman at the oyster ground and that her name was Grace Gc odsle ol Lillie Carson. She had been married to man named Carson, but had not lived witl him for several weeks.
 Medical Examiner White was notif ed but decided not to hold an autopsy unti morning. The hospital physicians sa. that the wound above the temple was no sufficient to cause death and are of the opin ion in the absence of an autopsy that deat
 was probably due to uI@ne.
 Late last evening the woman's brothe and Carson called at the hospital and iden
 tiied the remains.
