once he stopped coming to see me.
Two Of my girl friends told me he
called On them the other night. He
seemed to care lot for me. and

is the matter. We had no words,
and nothing seemed the matter when
he went home.
How can I win him back? think

I cannot imagine why he is acting
so strangely, as am a very attrac-

the slightest vestige of the feeling which

- TRAIN JAMS SIX
ON PLATFORM LEDGE
Passengers Caught in Narrow
Space on Leaving the
Rear Coach.
CARS START TOO SUDDEN
Victims of Culver Line Acct
dent Will All Leave Hos
pital To-day.

Six persons were slightly hurt last
night at the Sixteenth street station of
the Fifth avenue elevated railroad in
Brooklyn, when the sudden starting of a
three car train of the Culver line
jammed them between the rear car and
a narrow ledge on which they we're walk
ing to the station platform. All were
sent to the Methodist Hospital. where it
was said they will be able to go home
this morning. The most seriously hurt
was Mrs. Ida Rademacker. 81, of 65
Linden street, Brooklyn. whose eyes
were badly cut by glass.
Police said that when Motorman
George Baden OF 256 Lincoln avenue,
Brooklyn. stopped the train the gates
of the second and third cars did not
reach the station platform by ten feet,
so the passengers who alig'hted from the
rear car had to walk along narrow
ledge to reach the station. Conductor
Edward Wills of 800 West Forty-ninth
street said he received the go ahead
signal from Morris Fredercks OF 400
Forty-fourth street. Brooklyn, the guard
between the second and third cars, and
passed it on to the motorman.
Baden started the train again and the
six persons were thrown against the
train and crowded between the ledge
and the rear car. Some one pulled the
emergency cord. which brought the train
to stop.
Besides Mrs. Rademacker the injured
were Max Rademacker and Peter Stein,
81; Anthony Murno. 81. and Mrs. An
toinette Murno. 10. of 149 Eighteenth
street. and Mrs. Mary Sica Of 291 Four
teenth street. all of Brooklyn.
The police made no arrests, but it Is
probable they will present the matter
this morning before the Magistrate of
the Fifth Avenue Police Court.
