After he had been carried in an unconscious condition to a rest room he was revived. Later he walked home, saying that he would be better in the morning. Severe pains followed, and Dr. R. L. PITTFIELD, of 5211 Wayne avenue, was summoned to his bedside. He diagnosed the case as septic pneumonia, which resulted from the injuries. At that time the physician reported his patient to be in a serious condition. Mr. FISCHER grew gradually worse, the end coming yesterday afternoon. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ PA-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

A bloody carving knife was found on the table, and the wall in front of a mirror was stained with blood. A physician who was called in, stayed the flow of blood. The woman said, according to the police, that a man, whose name she did not give, called at her home and said: "You are a rather handsome woman, but I do not altogether admire your long nose." Special Officer LAWRENCE made an investigation, and says the woman could not say who cut her. "The police are inclined to think she cut herself, and the sight of the blood caused her to faint.

Article Text: Inability to reach the physical standards demanded by his employment under the new Workmen's Compensation act, is believed to have impelled Adam GRINDER, sixty-three years old, a carpenter at Harrison Brothers, Thirty-sixth and Gray's Ferry avenue, to attempt to end his life by inhaling illuminating gas yesterday. GRINDER, who lived at the house of Charles SIMPSON, 1922 Woodland avenue, made two attempts. He had been rejected by the medical examiners on two counts, "old age" and "bad heart". He became despondent at the thought of being compelled to depend upon others for support. The odor of gas was detected yesterday in his room and he declared it was an accident. The odor was again detected last night and SIMPSON, forcing a way in, found him unconscious. GRINDER was removed to the Philadelphia Hospital, where it is said he will recover. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ PA-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
