New York, 1895
Mrs. Isaac Morrell, mother-in-law of William Dykes, of Union avenue, with whom she has resided for some time, met with a painful accident on Tuesday morning. She went to the barn to let a pet dog out and had just opened the door when a gust of wind struck it and she was knocked down. She fell heavily, breaking her hip. She was removed to the house and Dr. Samuel Hendrickson was summoned. Mrs. Morrell is 73 years of age, and it is feared that the broken bones will not knit.
Mrs. White Injured
While Mrs. Edgar D. White, of Huntington, and Miss Brown were out riding Friday afternoon at Cold Spring Harbor, their horse was frightened and ran into the yard of Joseph Doty. Mrs. White was thrown out over the dashboard, and the horse kicked her in the side, knocking her insensible and badly bruising her.
A Grand Stand Blown Down
The high winds of Monday night completely demolished the grand stand of the Golf and Tennis club, near Oyster Bay village. The building was about forty feet long.
