                     Henry M. Bliss became the first known automobile
fatality. As Mr. Bliss stepped off a
                     streetcar at Central Park West and 74th Street, he was
hit by a car driven by Arthur
                     Smith. Bliss was rushed to the hospital but died a
short time later. Smith was
                     arrested, but was not held.
