that it is the work of the gossip's

A Fatal Accident in q New York
Elevator

NEW YORK. Feb. 13.-Mrs. Arthur
Levy, wife of a member of the wholesale
clothing firm of Hays, Goldberg & Co.,
was instantly killed tonight in an ele-
vator at the Holland house.
A party of ladies of which Mrs. Levy
was one had accepted an invitation Of

orders to have them shown to the par
lor, he returning to the hotel desk. On
entering the elevator Mrs. Levy placed
her hand upon her forehead and COM
planned Of dizziness to her companions.
Before they could reply the elevator boy
had closed the door of the shaft, gripped
his lever and the car shot UP with a
bound. Almost at the same moment
Mrs. Levy reeled and fel with her head
out Of the door. The elevator was about
an inch and half from the walls of the
shaft and much as the solid walls would
permit her head extended out. There
was crash. and the boy with a dex-
ferrous move brought his car to a stop at
the first flight. 1t was too late. Mrs.
Levy lay lifeless on the bottom of the
elevator, her head crushed in as IL by a
heavy bludgeon. 1t had been struck by
the slight projection of the first floor
into the elevator shaft.
