POWERS was not prepared for such action on the part of the motorman, and before he could shut off the power, the automobile had collided with the rear of the car.
WOOD’S left leg was caught between the fender and the front part of the automobile. He was carried into the engine house, where a hurry call was sent for the Homeopathic Hospital ambulance. Before the ambulance arrived. Mr. POWERS had taken WOOD, into his automobile and conveyed him to the private hospital of Dr. Charles R. BARBER in Park avenue. There the fracture was reduced.
