WOMAN DIES
OF INJURIES
At HOSPITAL
Mrs. Alice Deery Struck by
Train at Smith Street Cross
ing Today

AS the result of a fractured skull
and several minor injuries sustained
when struck and knocked about thirty
feet by a Pennsylvania train at the
Smith street crossing at 10 O'Clock
this morning, Mrs. Alice Deery. 342
Colfax street, died at the city hospi-
tai about ten minutes after she was
taken there by the police in the nos
pital ambulance.
According to stories related by eye
witnesses, Mrs. Deery had anst pur-
chased a paper at the newstaht at the
Central station and was walking along
the tracks to the crossing at Smltn
street, evidently on her way to the
market She did not look either way
on the tracks to see II train was
coming and apparently did not notice
that the gates were already down,
since she started to cross about ten
feet away from the grade crossing.
The gateman saw that If the woman
did not quicken her pace that she
would be struck by the train, SO ne

were not heard. The train hit the
woman just as she was about to step
over the last rail. throwing her into
the ditch about thirty feet from the
crossing.
Bystanders picked her up and call
ed the coroner as 1t was feared the
woman had been killed. When Cor
oner Flynn arrived the woman was
bleeding profusely froY cuts in the
head and he perceived that she had
sustained fractured skull, so the am
bulance was summoned.
She was rushed to the hospital, but
expired several minutes after reach
ing there.
The train that struck Mrs. Deery
is Pennsylvania train No. 709, from
New York bound for Point Pleasant
and due in this city at 1901. The
gateman asserted that he had lowered
the gates when the train was at the
grade crossing, but there
were no witnesses TO corroborate his
so Coroner Flynn is con-
ductfng an investigation to ascertain
whether IL was due to the womaa's
that she lost her life or
because the gates were not down in
time.
