bankment

liable metal, probably stolen, fell into the
hands of the police this morning. Park
Guard James Black found horse AMI
hucksters wagon down "a forty foot en-
banl,ment near the Jessup and Moore
Paper Mills and in the wagon was a val
uable lot or car journals and babbitt

The horse was not injured badly but
the wagon was damaged. One of the rear
wheels was smashed, the shafts We're
broken and the top was crushed.
Officer Black brought the horse, wagon
and contents to the police station and tho
horse was placed in the Delaware House

1t is the opinion Of the police that the
metal is the proceeds of a robbery which
was committed last night and that after
the fall over the embankment the robbers
concerned in the job decamped.
The wagon and two or three men ac-
companying it were seen about the west
ern part of the city yesterday.
The babitt metal was stolen from the
Brandywine Granite Works last night

erty of the r., W. and b. Railroad Com
pany.

remnant OF red awning found in the

FATAL JUMP FROM HOSPITAL
PATIENT APPARENTLY SANE LEAPS
FROM WINDOW-NURSE UNABLE
TO HOLD HIM

Allen H. Hinman thirty-two years old. of No,
l. Chestnut-st- Albany, n. Y. a patient suf-
fering from indigestion in the Presbyterian Hos
pitaI, jumped from a third story window 10 the
street yesterday, and was instantly killed. No
reason is known for the act the hospital au-
thorites saying the man had mental trouble,
and showed no signs Of delirum or nervousness.
Hinman was taken to the hospital late on
Tuesday night by his stepmOther. Mrs. L. A
Hinman. Superintendent Fischer and a nurse
were talking with Hinman fifteen minutes be-
fore he jumped. He appeared rational and
cheerful. The superintendent left then, and
when the nurse was about three cots away
Hinman jumped quickly out of bed. He made
for the window nearest him, and climbed on the
sill. The patients who saw him shouted in as
tonishment, and the nurse turned to see Hin
man on the sill and almost out of the window.
She hastily toward him and seized him as
he was more than half way over the sill. She
was not strong enough TO prevent him from
struggling and falling. Other patients were
terrified and excited, and the nurse called for
help. Other nurses quieted the patients.
