Taken to the Hospital in the Ambulance and His Arm Amputated. BRIDGEPORT, Dec. 9. —J oseph Flamke of ,New Britain, 30 years of age, jumped from the 7:10 accommodation train from New Haven, at the foot of Stage street, shortly before 8 o’clock last evening and received injuries which in all probability will end his life. He was removed in ' the ambulance to the Bridgeport hospital, where he now lies in a critical condition. Flamke resides in New Britain and his wife has been visiting relatives at Matilda, N. Y. He bought a ticket for this city last evening and his intention was to take the boat from here and go to Matilda to see his wife, who was ex- pecting him. . He got aboard the accommodation - train at New Haven and arrived in this city at 7:10. This train is in the habit of halting at the depot for a few moments and then running down in the yard. At 7:40 it backs up into the depot again and runs from here to New York as an accommodation. ' When the train halted at the depot, Flamke did not get off. The train started out again to run down in the yard, and when it reached the foot of State street just north of the signal tower [the man jumped with a telescope in his hand. His feet hardly touched the ground before he plunged forward, striking his left shoulder and head against the cries cross rails. He threw his right hand around on the rail where the train he jumped from was just pass- , ing over. The ends af his first and sec- ond fingers were cut, off and he was left at the side of the tracks bleeding ’ and in a helpless condition. Employee of the railroad company saw the accident and quickly carried the injured man into the signal tower and then‘telephoned for the ambulance and at the same time senta message to the central police station. Dr. Hair who was in charge of the ambulance found on his arrival that the man had received four severe scalp wounds, be- sides fracturing the left arm near the shoulder, and the shoulder proper be- ing pummelled to a jelly. After examination at the hospital it was found amputation of the arm would be necessary, which was done last night. Flamke is in] a very low condition with little or no hope of his recovery, one of his lungs having been punctured by a broken bone, in addition to the other injuries. ., An Enjoyable Entertainment. The Ladies Guild of St. Paul’s church held a sociable in the Berkeley street chapel last night. There was a large attendance. An, entertainment had been prepared for the occasion.
