Cable Tracks by Her Lover.
New York, Nov. 21.-What seems 70
be case Of the most a1eartless cruelty
was perpetralted ON beautiful woman
last evening In the very heart of the
downtown section of the city. 1t was
about 6:15 when the crowds which pass
along Park Row bound for the Bridge
noticed well-dressed man dragging q
woman across the cable tracks of the
Third Avenue railroad in front Of the
postofffce. The place where the couple
was seen is at the point where the
cable cars make the curve in Mercury
Square and the woman seemed TO be
either in a fafnting condition or else
IN a fit
Several passer.s-by volunteered their
services, and one man, connected with
tine New York Betting and Packing com
pany, at Is Park Row, took hold of the
woman ON one side and STARTED ITO assist
her across the tracks toward his office.
AS he WAS doing so, the Moman's COM
p,an5on, who held 9ler ON the other side,
Slipped a pocketbook which he had in
his overcoat pocket into the pocket Of
THE volunteer. The stranger then drop
ped his hold of his unfortunate victim
and said he was going for a cab.
Before uhe could go a witness Of the
trouble HAILED a passing cab, but the
stranger said that he did not propose
TO pay the cabs hire. Besides, so ne
said, he did mott know where his faint
ing companion lived. AS he said this
he hastily took his departure, leaving
the woman in the care of the gentle
men from the Betting & Packing COM
painy bo take care Of her alone.
By this time great crowd had col
1edted and the young woman was taken
dnto the hallway of 13 Park Row and
made as comfortable as possible. One
of the witnesses of the affair was F. j.
Allen of Boston, general superintendent
OF the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad. Mr.. Allen, on his
way TO the Astor House, saw the strang
er place the pocket book i'm the others
pocket and at once come to the conclu-
sion that some lInderhanded work was
being done He started TO find police
imam, but. ais TT was the Shifting" hour.
MO officer was in sight This allowed
the woman's companion to escape.
Policeman HaugIhey of the Church
street station, ON his way to relieve his
post, came UP at the time and w1istled
for assistance. This brought Police
man Maxwell Of THE Oak street station,
and several other officers to the scene.
A call was sent in for an ambulance
and the wagon from THE Hudson street
hospital brought Surgeon Hutchinson.
In the meantime DR.. Herman A. Gal
tzmiayer of Newark happened to pass
and attended the woman as best he
could without mis- case He administer
ed a hypodermic injection of ammonia,
which, however, failed to relieve rher in
the least. The police and those who
saw the woman We're all of the opinion
that the unfortunate woman was the
victim of a drug. She was a beautiful
young woman, splendidly dressed, and
her fingers were covered with valuable
jewels. She wNas probably 25 years
old, wore a large black hat, black fur
cape with gray trimming on the collar
and lined with silk, and she had on
dress made of some soft material that
bore every evidence of being valuable.
She laid limp in IA chiar that had been
provided for her, and her head fell over
her shoulder as soon as the hands that
held it released their hold. A slight
fonm appeared upon her lips and she
was CHASTITY pale. The unfortunate
woman bore all the evidences of being
highly respectable and well-to-do. There
WAS no trace of liquor upon her, and
the theory THAT she might perhaps been
under the influence of intoxicants was
exploded as soon as DR.. Gahzmayer
made his eNamina tiorl.
When Surgeon Hutchinson arrived
with an ambulance he could do nothing
Tor her except remove her to the hospit-
al. A Stretcher was brought, and the
sufferer was placed upon it AS they
were about to lift the stretcher the
