BUT SHE WAS DISASTROUSLY MISTAKEN For the Flooring Collapsed and She Fell Thirty Feet Into a Hole--Her Escape from Death Was a Miracle--Was Badly Hurt. Mrs. John Brink. of North Street, Bethlehem, had a narrow escape from death day before' yesterday. In stepping on the flooring over a sink hole, the floor gave way and she fell to the bottom, thirty feet below, without a moment's warning. Fortunately Mrs. Brink retained consciousness and was able to call for help. Mr. Brink, her husband, who was sitting in the dining room, heard her cries, but not recognizing his wife's voice and believing it to be noise of some children playing in the yard, paid n'o heed to the alarm. Neighbors by good luck recognized the voice and immediately rushed to the scene of the accident. their arrival they found Mrs. the lipoma bottom of the well. They quickly ran and procured a big ladder in bringing Mrs. Brink to the surface. In the meantime Mr. Brink, learning of his wife's danger, hastened to the well and found that several large rocks, immediately above the spot where Mrs. Brink was standing, were on the point of falling. He stooped down and held them firmly, while the other members of the rescuing party, who had procured a ladder, lowered it to the unfortunate woman. Mrs. Brink, although by this time almost unconscious, was able to slowly climb the ladder. Just as she was taken out Mr. Brink. becoming completely exhausted holding the immense weight of stone, loosened his grip and the rock fell to the bottom with a terrific crash. It was a narrow escape for Mrs. Brink, as she would have been instantly crushed to death, had she not been able to get out. A hasty examination by the doctor did not reveal any broken bones, but Mrs. Brink was suffering intense pain from bruises and internal injuries. Every move of her body caused her to suffer great agony. An examination of the woodwork revealed the fact that . not only the wood is in a decayed condition, but that the joining was improperly made. Had the sink contained more water, nothing would have saved Mrs. Brink from suffocation. Mr. Brink had called attention of several carpenters to the uncertain condition of the flooring, but each one pronounced it perfect.
