, ENS eo iat ari > YOUTH IMPALED AFTER ARREST ON STREET CAR ‘Henry Meyers Risked His Life to Save a Woman and Child and May Die as a Result of Terrible Injury. SPLINTER THREE FEET LONG LODGED IN LEG. Passengers Preparing to Alight when Runaway Struck the Trolley and Young Man Sacri- ficed Himself to Save Them. ‘Henry Meyers, nineteen years old, a earpet-layer, living at No. 38 East One Hundred and Thirty-third street, risked his life, which is now hanging in the balance, to save a woman and a child from an accident so imminent that only his quick action and self-sacrifice saved them from the fate which seems to Bave been his. Meyers was standirfe on the platform of a One Hundred and Sixteenth street car bound west. It was just rounding the turn into Manhattan avenue when & woman and ohild, intent upon leaving the car, stepped upon the platform, waiting for the stop. Dashing down One Hundred and Six- teenth street came a baker's wagon arawn by a maddened driveriess horse. Meyers saw that there was no chance to avoid the collision. He was leaning on the closed gate when he first saw the runaway, having been attracted to it by the clatter of hoofs and the rasp ot wheels, Net a Minute Too soon. In an instant he moved in front of the woman and the child and pushod them into the car. It was not an in- stant too soon. ‘The shaft split against the car and o splinter thrse feet long penetrated Meyers's right leg above the knee, sinking into the groin. Not more than one foot of the splinter Wag left above the surface of the leg. ‘The woman and the child escaped un- {pjured. Meyers lay upon the platform unconse!ous. Policeman Lehane, who was in the neighborhood at the time, ran to the man's rescue and with the assistance of several men who were on the car at- tempted to extract the spliater. Pulling with all their might they were unable to dislodge it, so firmly was it imbedded in Meyers’ leg. After some delay caused by telephon- ing to St. Luke's Hospital, which had no ambulance ready for service, an am- bulance from the J. Hood Wright Hos- pital was called. There the protrusion was cut off and a severe surgical oper- ation was found necessary in order to withdraw tho imbedded part sicians at the hospital do n. mucl hope for Meyers’s recovery. Woman Minintered to Him. While Meyers was laid out on the plat- form of the car awaiting the ambulance he was ministered to by Mrs. Osa Moore, of No. 46 East Fifty-fourth street. She was on the car at the time of the accident, Obtaining stimulants from a@ nearby drug store, she gaye them to the injured man. Pillows and cots obtained from a grocery store in the) neighborhood made a temporary cot for him until removed to the hospital. Horeé Ran at Dreakneck Speed. ‘The wagon belongs to Bader Bror,, ot ‘mz Eighth avenue. The horse to which | {t was attached took rright on Morning- | side avenue and dasned with break- neck speed down that thoroughfare, turning into One Hundred and Sixteenth | etreet. Residents on the curve which runs from One Hundred and Sixteenth street into Manhattan avenue are vigorous|f in their denunciations of the street! raflway company on account of the great speed of the cars going round this gerous curve. They deciare that the momentum of the cars at this point is always accelerated, and that when the| turn is made there is a greater speed| would be locked after them. If is eae | I had to put her on the table for I could than on ordinary straight going. No arrests were made.

MAGISTRATE CRANE, MAD, SCORES THE PRISONER. “You're a Liar!” Shouts the Court, but Finally Agrees to Parole Sharpe in the Custody of His Lawyer. After Elmer G. Sharpe, a prominent contractor and builder of Harlem, had deen arraigned in the Harlem Court this morning, charged with abducting pretty Rove Diaz, the ninetoen-year-old daughter of his neighbor, ving at No. %1 West One Hundred and Twwenty- fifth street, he agreed this afternoon to marty the young woman at 8 o'clock to-night. The charge against Sharpe will be withdrawn in the Harlem Court to-morrow morning. Sharpe appeared in court this moming in answer to a summons sworn out by the ‘girl's mother. He is well known in the northern part of the city, living at No. %5 West One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street and having an office at Lenox avenue and One Hundred and Twenty-eighth street. Tt appears that Sharpe had been pay- ing attentions to Rose Diaz and she was smitten with hm. Her parents had forbidden the girl to be seen with Sharpe. and she defiantly told them that if she could not have the contractor's company she would leave home. Last Wednesday morning the girl dis- appeared. Her parents learned from Emil Clements, who conducts a dell- catessen store at No. 2360 Eighth ave-~ fue, that he had seen Sharpe and the Diaz giri together Wednesday morning after she had left home. Got Summons for Sharpe. ‘The griet-stricken parents appeared before Magistrate Crane yesterday, and on the information furnished by Clem-| ents the summons was issued directing Sharpe to appear in court to-day, He) denied thet he knew the whereabouts of | the missing girl, and at the same time} the aged father of the girl, trembling, with rage, made an attempt to assault| the accused man. Magistrate Crane/ was not impressed with Sharpe's de-/ meanor and said: “Do you mean to stand there and tell me that you do not know where this| girt is?” When Shi again protested ignor- ance of the girl's whereabouts the Ming: istrate ordered an afiidavit prepared which Clements, the delicatessen man, swore that he had seen Sharpe and the Upon this Information a warrant charging abduc- tion was made out and served on Sharpe. Wiih a cell staring Sharpe in the face, he weakened. ‘Through his lawyer, whom he had summoned to his ald, he promised to return the girl to ‘her parents, Magistrate Crane turned on him and sald: Ball or Jail for Him, “You're a Mar.

Nervous troubles are not only very real but very dangerous, For women who suffer with nerves, Dr. Greene’s Nervura the great nerve tonic and rvura puri- fier 1s is invaluable. It soothes, calms, revitalizes and strengthens the nerves. It often saves from nervous prostration. Mrs. C. L. McDonald, of 50 Pratt |St., New Haven, Conn., gives will- ing testimony to these truths: “ T want to tell you what Dr. Greene's Nerwura has done for me, hoping it will cure others asit has me, Was all broken down by nervous prostration brought on by worry over financial losses. Phy- sicians could do little for me, but or- dered rest, change of climate, Turkish ith a friend asked me to try Nervura, which I did, and after taking one bottle felt better, and twelve bottles completely cured me, I wish to thank you many times for the benefit received from vour Nervura,” Dr. Greene’s advice is free.
