Hotel Keeper Hahn Hurt

New York, 1895

G. Hahn, a hotel keeper of Winfield, met with an accident which, it is thought, will prove fatal while jumping from a trolley car of the Newtown and Flushing road Monday morning. Hahn was on his way home from New York, where he had been visiting friends. When the car got to Fisk avenue he asked the conductor if they had reached Winfield, and upon being informed that they were passing through the village Hahn rushed to the platform and jumped off. The car was going at a rapid rate, and before the conductor had time to stop it Hahn jumped and landed on his head on the frozen ground.
