| ***** |
| Sad Accident |
| Last night, at about 9 o'clock, as the
train of the {Jefferson & Lake}
Pontchartrain Railroad was approaching the Half-way House, on its way to
the city, a careless young woman named Emma Mason, who was standing too
near the railway, was knocked down by one of the cars, and had her left
hip fractured. She was brought to the city by Officer Holmes, and sent
to the Charity Hospital. |
