PITCHED into The STREET
Serious Accident to Mrs. McKernen
on a Chevy Chase Car,
She Claims the Train Was Not stopped
They \ ActedA ccordingt 10 Orders.

Whether there is n defect in the orders to
employees on the Chevy Chase Railway, or
negligence of the conductors is the only
theme of discussion by residents along U
street, between Fifteenth aud Portner
streets, the scene of a serious accident
about 9:45 O'Clock last night, in which Mrs
Thomas McKernen, OF CrosbyS Mansion, on
Pierce Mil road, near Chevy Chase, was
badly injured about the head and arms.
Mrs. McKernen got on motor car No. %,
near Chevy Chase circle, and rode on the
car to the corner OF L and Fifteenth streets
She was sitting in rear seat and sig
nailed Conductor Napoleon Green, who
was on the trailer car behind, TO ring the
stop bell as she could not catch the eye
of the conductor, George A Clark, OF
the car in which she sat
Conductor Green rang the bell in response
to her motions as the car was crossing
street, but tie conductor of the motor car
did not ring. as it is charged he should
have done, and Motorrnan John Berman
did not close the switch and stop the car.
AS the train passed the second curb Of
Fifteenth street Mrs. AIcKernen, who had
arisen as if waiting for the cars to stop,
was seen to pitch forward and fall into
the street near the track, striking on her
head, and roll over until she lay uncou-
sCious on the concrete.
The eleCirC tram did not come to a
staudstill until Portner street, a half
square further, was reached.
In the meantime many residents on U
street, who saw the accident, rushed out
and placed the unfortunate woman in
cahir
No. s patrol wagon was summoned and
Policeman F. B. Kelly took Mrs McKer-
nen to the Emergency Hospital. where
gaping wound in the scalp was closed by
Dr. ID essez Wi tn twelve stitches, aud
other wounds aud contuSions of the head
and right acm sewed and dressed
The injured woman said that she ex-
pected the cars TO stop at the corner of
Fifteenth and . streets, as the signal
had been given, and was preparing TO
step off when she fell.
The conductors on the car stated last
night that it was not their business to
stop cars after they had passed the first
corner, and orders had been given them
that if the cars had crossed over the
first side they should not be brought to
standstill until the next street was
reached, and that Mrs. Kernen had stepped
from the car.
