Conductor Mays Little One Fell From n
 Two story Window.
 A two-year-old child of Thomas H. May, of 274 Ferry street, conductor on the Fair Haven and Westville road, fell from a second story window Sun day, but apparently suffered no serious injury The child's escape is considered miraculous by Dr. McGuire of Ferry street, who made a thorough examina- ton of the body after the fall, but could find no bones broken, nor any outward sign of serious injury. There was a possibility that some internal injury might show itself, but there was not the slightest indication of it yesterday and the youngster appeared as well as ever. Just before the fall the child was playing near the window. While Mrs. May was absent from the room a short time it climbed up and fell out.
