Father and Son Injured

New York, 1895

George Stone and his son were injured in a runaway accident at Brentwood, on Friday. The men were returning home with a load of wood. Suddenly the dashboard of the wagon slipped, and the wood fell upon the heels of the horses. The animals plunged forward, and father and son were thrown under the wagon, the wheels passing over them. The elder Stone had his leg broken, and the youth sustained a fracture of his foot.


No Trace of Poison

Coroner Strong of Long Island City will make an analysis of the stomach of Annie Royer. The girl came from Islip three weeks ago and died on Thursday in great agony. The doctors who held the autopsy failed to discover any poison, as had been intimated.
