Miss Mary Nash and George
Plait Have a Narrow Escape
from Serious injury
An exciting runaway accident took
place this morning in Washington
street, and Miss Mary Nash. of Bay-
view avenue, and the driver, George
Platt. were thrown from Miss Nash's
carriage to the pavement. Fortunately
neithel‘ was seriously injured.
. Miss Nash was on her way to the
Fitch school, East Norwaik, where she
is a teacher, and Mr. Platt. who is the
Nash family’s coachman. was driving
her over in a buggy. When half way
between Water and Main streets, in
Washington street, one of the front
wheels of the carriage came off, and
the carriage tilted down on one side.
This frightened the horse. which bolted
down the street, ,Mr. Platt was thrown
out after the horse had gone only a
short distance. lie struck on his back
on the brick pavement, but was not
injured to any extent.
Miss Nash caught the reins and at-
tempted to stop the frightened horse
but was unable to do 'so: The animal
ran down Water street and in turn-
ing the corner threw Miss Nash out.
She struck the brick pavement beav-
ily and was stunned for a moment.
The horse continued its dash down
Water street. but was stopped in front
of Michael Lane’s saloon. The car-
riage was considerably smashed and
damaged and the horse received a bad
cut on one of its hind legs.
Miss Nash was carried into Becker's
grocery store, and Dr. Loren M. Allen,
who happened to be passing, attended
her. She was badly shaken up and
bruised. but no bones were broken and
she will in all probability be all right
in a day or two. it is most fortunate,
however. that she did not strike the
curb, as she came near doing. She was
taken to her home in a carriage from
Solmans' stable.

Miss Flo'ra A. Winchell. of 5

Mrs. Hamilton Lawrence. in
School Street, Opened Wrong
Door and Piunpsd Hesdlong
' into the Cellar
Without the least warning, Miss
Flora A. Winchell, of 5 Camp street,
met practically instant death by fall-
ing downstairs about 5:30 o'clock, last
evenin .
The unfortunate accident mourned
while she was calling on a friend. Mrs.
Hamilton Lawrence, at 18 Schdol
street. Norwalk. When picked up the
woman was dead, having given but a
how gasps before life left her body.
The deplorable accident happened
just as Miss Winchell was leaving to
return to her home. She opened a
door, supposing it the way to the
piazza, but instead it was the entrance
to the cellar. which could be gained
only by means of a very steep stain
way. Not having an inkling of her
danger, Miss Winchell stepped off the
landing and fell headlong to the cellar
bottom.
Mrs. Lawrence and others in the
house rushed down to her assistance.
but all efforts at resuscitation failed.
and when Dr. S. H. Huntington. who
was called, arrived. he simply had to
pass on the case in his official capaci-
Ly of medical examiner. He gave
heart disease as the cause of death.
Though the dead woman's face was
badly bruised by the fall, it was not
thought that her injuries were suffic-
iently severe to cause death. Her
neck was not broken. Miss Winchell
had been suffering from the malady
of the heart for a long time and fre
quently she had been in a serious con-
dition when attacked by it.
Yesterday afternoon Miss Winchell
had been attending the funeral of
Eugene l. Boyer. in Main street, and

While there she and Mrs. Benton met

Mrs. Winchell cheerily called to Mrs.
Bouton who had preceded her down
the walk in front of the noose, “Are
you going home? Wait a moment and
i will ride in the same couch with
you.”
At tilts time. Miss Winchell appur-
entiy became a little. confused and in-
stead of going out by way of the front
door, which Mrs. Bouton had left open.
she turned and opened another door
loading to the collar. in a moment
the fatal accident had occurred.
Miss Winchell stated last Sunday
that she was seventy years of age.
So far as is known. she had no rela-
lives in this vicinity with the exwp-
tion of Ephraim Capron'. of Camp
street, for whom she kept house. She
had been planning to leave Not-walk
to reside with the family of another
brotherdn-law. James V. Davis, who
is superintendent of the Antietam Na-

very shortly. Mr. Davis has been in

sermon from John 3:18, taking as his
theme The Gift of Christ, which be de-
veloped in a forcible and striking man-
ner.
First—God’ s declaration concerning
man's need. 00d never made an or-
ganism but that He also created a need
for it, or the organism would wither
and die. Jesus came because God saw
man’ s need, otherwise He would never
have provided I Savior. When God
gave His only Ben. our Savior, He
knew the needs of man and all the
path from Bethlehem to Calvary, and
Jesus died that man might escape con~
dam-nation and death.
Secomi——God' s attitude towards men
in this needy namely the gift of His
best and all.
Third—The method by which God
satisfies this need; namely. a plan
suited to the condition of every per-
son regardless of all limitations by
which there is entire emancipation
from past sin and coming into the poo
session of the verttles and certainties
of the new life.
Fourth—This plan places the respon-
sibility for eternal destiny upon the
individual. God builds His kingdom
upon the basis of voluntary surrender.
He who will may reject Christ, but by
so doing assumes the responsibility of
such rejection. There, every promise
that the service tonig t will be vital
and helpful.

early in the day in a large, boot and
shoe factory in Oak street. owned by

unexpected rapidity to a group of
wooden buildings in the vicinity. The
limited fire fighting facilities were
wholly inadequate and for several
hours the flames Were ill complete

aid from Portland, Sanford, Alfred and

help arrived many of the largest build-
lugs were levelled. At 9 ociock the
fire was under contloi. in all 35 build-

Peculiar Accident, in South
Norwsik. This Morning,
When Train Took the Cross-
over instead oi Main Line—
Wrocking Crew Called out
One of the most peculiar railroad ac~
cldents that has occurred in South
Norwalk in sometime was that on
the crossover just west of the bridge
over Washington street, this morning.
at 8: 45 oclock.
An east- bound extra freight train,
in charge of Conductor Arnold. was
proceeding from Harlem River to New
Haven, when. the engine took the cross-
over, which was set for the Danbury
track, and started across the three
tracks. The engineer discovered his
mistake. and quickly applied the air
brakes, with such force, it is presumed,
that the freight cars following were
set back suddenly, and one of them. a
heavy steel Pennsylvania Railroad box
car. No. 96949. left the rails, and pro-
ceeded backward a distance of about
one hundred feet before the train was
stopped.
The car was thrown sideways. the
rear trucks remaining on the inside
track, while the forward ones went
over on the outside rails, completely
block both east-bound tracks. The in-
side track for a considerable distance
was thrown two or three inches out of
alignment, and the wheels of the
freight cur cut bolts, tics, spikes, etc,
and calmed considerable damage gen—
orally:
The car following the one wrecked
was raised several feet. in the air, the
forward end resting on the drawhead
ot‘ the wrecked car.
The forward part of the train was
sent to the South Norwaik freight yard,
while telegrams were sent to Stamford
for the wrecking apparatus and crew.
Meanwhile section hands commenced
to repair as much of the damage to
the tracks as was possible.

York Burned Out Esriy Today
NEW roan. April fin—Five per-
sons were badly hurt. fifty others nar-
rowly escaped death or injury, and
hundreds were driven from mijoining
teneme ts, in a tire. early today which
entirei destroyed the seven-story
sweatshop building at 127-131 Hester
street. and damaged several other
nearby buildings. When the tire was
at its height, the flames lit up the
lower part of the city and the East
River with a lurid glare that could'be
seen for miles. The damage is es
timated at close upon $100,000.
,That there were none of the usual
fatalities accompanying a big East
Side fire was because the burned
building was used almost wholly by
small clothing makers, and that there
were no children and only one woman,
the wife' of the janitor, inc. the place.
About fifty men, some employed as
watchmen for the various clothing fac-
tories, and others, friends of the watch-
men whom they permitted to sleep
there, were in the building. As the
fire started 'on the third floor. and
spread so quiclsiy that escape by the
stairs from the upper stories was won
out off, more than half of these men
had to jump to the roofs of adjoining
buildings. some across the chasm of
an eightrfoot alleyway, to save their
lives. All of the injured were hurt
in making the leap for life.
Before the fire was controlled, it
spread to two sixvstory tenements ad
joining and staged the. fronts of four
big tenements and a public school
building on the south side of the
street. The hundreds of persons driv-
en from their beds were joined by
thousands of spectators in the streets
and a large force of policemen had
great difficulty in keeping the crowd
in check.
Police and firemen searched the ru
ills of the burned building, expecting
to find the bodies of some of the
watchmen, several of whom had not
been accounted for.
