Injured by a Vicious Horse

New York, 1895

John F. Remsen, a liveryman at Roslyn, was seriously injured Saturday afternoon by a vicious horse. The animal belonged to Edward Duryea, and had been sent to Remsen's stable to be clipped. Mr. Remsen personally did the work on this particular horse, and was putting the finishing touches to the job when the animal struck out with one of its front hoofs, hitting Remsen in the forehead. The latter fell over senseless. The injury is a serious one and will confine Mr. Remsen to his home for some time.


Children's Lives Endangered

Four young children of John Oakley of Sayville had a narrow escape from being burned to death Monday evening. Their mother is in the habit of going out washing, and often leaves them alone all day. About 5 o'clock George Striker saw smoke coming from the windows of the house. He burst in the door and found the furniture in flames. Four small children were in the other room, where they had fled to escape the smoke.


Took Poison and Died

Thomas Mimno, aged 35 years, of Hempstead, committed suicide at Port Jefferson Saturday evening by taking laudanum. He was found in a vacant house. He leaves a wife and child.
