[LFROM A LADDER.
Workman Falls From a Ladder
and Miraculously Es-
capes Death.

Mr.. A. H. Howe was working at his
trade as carpenter one day when a
bunch of shingles slid from the roof OF
a two-story building and carried him
from the top round of the ladder on
which he was standing. Mr.. Howe's
attention being drawn at that instant
to something behind him, had turned
around and did not see the bunch of
shingles until they struck him broad
side and carried him to the ground.
He was stunned for time and his fell

pecting to find him seriously injured
However, he had landed in spot Of
newly turned earth, which had some

doctor. The doctor said blood poison
and treated it as such, but the place
failed to heal and finally a consulta-

tors said that the. bone was injured
and they would have to open the
wound and scrape the bone before it
could be healed. This he refused to
have done and called to see tho

WOMAN'S BONES FOUND.
Nothing Discovered by Which Her
Identity Can Be Established.

Islip, L. L, Oct. 19.-The skeleton of
a young woman was found in the
woods near Islip last night.
The coroner found nothing by
which the identity of the young wo-

The skull was intact, showing no
marks of violence.
1t was suggested today that the
skeleton may be that of Miss May
Smith, nurse in the Manhattan State
hospital at Islip, who has been miss
ing since last spring.
A singular feature of the case lies
in the fact that Miss Smith was be-
lieved to be the fiancee of Augustus
