A Woman Falls Into the Railroad Cut Her Narrow Escape from Death. Mrs. Sarah Carr of 12 Summer street while beating carpet in her back yard, which adjoins the Consolidated railroad cut, at noon yesterday leaned against a fence, which gave way and she fell on- to the railroad tracks. She struck on her head and lay unconscious on the tracks. Two men passing saw her ly- ing there and hurriedly descended into the cut and removed her to her home. Just afterward an express train passed over the tracks where she had lain. Dr, Klenke and Dr. Burke attended her and had her removed to the hospital, as if was feared she might be internally in jured. The hospital authorities last evening said that reports from Mrs Carr were very encouraging No bones had been broken and she was on the road to an early recovery.

AN APPEAL
From the society of United Workers.

From the Society of United Workers.
 When some eight or. nine years ago the charity building at 200 Orange street was erected by the Organized Charities association and the United Workers the latter society found itself burdened with d debt of eight thousand dollars, or one half of the whole debt on the building. Thanks to the voluntary gifts of kind friends and to the special efforts of some members of the executive committee, the sum of six thousand five hundred dollars has been paid on the debt, leav- ing the amount still owed by the Unit ed Workers fifteen hundred dollars. While thus sum does not seem large the interest upon it can ill be spared from the small income of the society. In fact, the treasurer has notified me that after paying the bills for the month the balance on hand for current ex- penses was only twenty-three dollars. Under these circumstances the execu- tive committee feels that an appeal to the benevolent public for help at this crisis is not only suitable, but impera- tive.
 Money for current expenses is of course urgently needed. but we ask es- pecially for gifts to pay off the amount of debt 'remaining. If the sum of fif- teen hundred dollars can be raised be- fore the middle of February the debt can be paid. and the society is also at once relieved from the payment of in- terest. In any case the committee hopes that there may be generous response to this appeal, as the need is urgent The society has not called upon the public during the past year through any fair or entertainment, and the donation have fallen below the usual amount hence the society has not on hand enough money even to mee the interest which must be paid February 15 in ad- vance, not to speak of the current ex- penses amounting to nearly two hun dred dollars per month
 Will not the benevolent men and wo- men who have been prospered during the past year make of this pressing need of the Society of United Workers an opportunity for sharing their pros- perity with others?
 Any contributions may be sent to Mrs Susan l.. Perrin, treasurer, 463 Whitney avenue, who will gratefully acknowl- edge them
 He gives twice who gives uuickly''

HELD AT GRACE HOSPITAL
THE 4NNU4L MEETING OF THE
 WOMAN'S BOARD.

The Hospitals Affairs Very Enoour-
 agtng-phe Annual Election of Ofi-
 ccrs-The Boards Vnlunbio Financial
 Aid to the Hospital.
 The annual meeting of the Womans board of Grace hospital was held yes terday afternoon at the hospital and vas fairly we'll attended, twenty-seven members being present. The report of the secretary and treasurer were very interesting, and both showed that the board is doing remarkable work.
 The following officers were elected: President, Mrs. Benjamin H. Cheney; vice presidents, Mrs. Joseph B. Sargent, Mrs. Edward s. Gaylord, Mrs Henry Warner, Mrs. Luman Cowles, Mrs. Samuel w. Hurlburt Mrs. Sherman Foote, Mrs E. L. Austin; secretary, Henry P. Sage; treasurer, Mrs, Emory J. Walker; auditor, Joseph B. Sargent.
 The Woman's board was founded in 1892 and since then has steadily grown both in membership and financially. The board has nothing to do with the governing of the hospital, but is an outside body, always ready to aid the governing board in any way possible, both by donation and by cash.
 The treasurer, Mrs. Walker, made a very interesting report at yesterday meeting. In looking over the reports and records from the time the associa- ton was founded in 1892 Mrs, Walker found that $6,8S201 has been received by the board. This is very large sum and the members were quite surprised when the report was read. It will be remembered that the Woman's board of the hospital furnished the splendid am- bulance that is now used by that instl- tuition. Two hundred dollars left over from the ambulance fund has been used to furnish what is known as the acci- dent o1 emergency room. The furnish ing of this room has been recently completed The board has contributed $500 for new rubber cloth for the corri- dors and stairs of the new building. This greatly improves the interior of the building and is most acceptable gift. There is a cash balance at hand of s591 25, much larger sum than that reported a year ago.
 Mrs. Joseph B. Sargent reported that she has over $2, 800 toward the Chrysan- themum club Free Bed fund. A free bed will be put in the hospital when the sum of $5,O0O is reached.
 The secretary's report read by Mrs. Henry P. Sage showed an enrolment of 11O members. It also gave brief account of the work done during the year 1S99.7
