After Be Hind Reached Home IB Was Dis
covered That Rib Had Been Frnctured.
Col Benjamin Nields had q narrow
escape from death at the Philadelphia
Wilmington & Baltimore railroad sta
tion on Saturday afternoon. Returning
from Philadelphia, he attempted to
leave the train while it was still in
motion. He was thrown to the station
platform and the box of one of the
wheels scratched his cheek. He was
in imminent peril of having the train
run over his legs when the train was
stopped. Tho colonel was assisted to
the waiting room of the station, where
he soon recovered his nerve, and was
able, in few minutes, to take an
Eighth street car for his home.
Col. Benjamin Nields, who fell while
aiighting from p, W. & b. railroad
train at French street station on Satur
day night, was injured worse than was
at first supposed. Although he created
as little attention as possible in n.leaving
the scene of the accident and succeeded
in reaching home without much diff
Guilty, an examination of his injuries
after reaching homo showed that one
of the ribs had been fractured.
He is confined to the residence, No.
sos Broome street, and may not be able
to go out for several days. Many mem
bers of the bar and other friends have
called upon him.
The injury is causing him great
deal of Inconvenience, as he is one OF
the counsel for the complainant in the
suit of the Storage Battery Go. of
Philadelphia against the Wilmington
City Electric Co., which began in the
United States Court Tuesday. His son,
J. F. Nields, is representing him in
the case.
