A Sleigh Carrying Eleven Coasters Dashes Against a Tree.
A contest between two coasters from Oyster Bay and a number of East Norwich coasters, which came off at the latter place Saturday night, resulted in severe injuries to six of the East Norwich participants. Their sleigh, carrying eleven men, collided with a tree.
The collision occurred when the sleigh had reached the bottom of the hill, but was still running at a very high speed. The sleigh in some way became unmanageable and left the road. The eleven coasters it carried were hurled forward with great force. The injured are:
Willie Blauvelt, fractured skull.
John Donahue, several ribs broken.
Harry Hayward, dislocated shoulder.
William Shaw, injured about the head and hip.
Frank Simonson, injured about the head.
William Stuart, back injured.

Frozen In A Cake of Ice
New York, 1895
A Man's Body Found at Rockaway Park Beach.
Beachcombers at Rockaway Park on Monday found the body of a man imbedded in a cake of ice that had been left on the sand by the receding tide. The body was completely enclosed in the ice. It was cut out, and when it was thawed sufficiently to remove the clothing it was found that while the man had on a chinchilla overcoat of good make there was neither a coat nor a waistcoat beneath this. The overcoat was simply buttoned over his red flannel shirt. His trousers were of dark material, with stripes.
Between $20 and $25 in money was found in the pockets, but nothing that would give a direct clue to the identity of the person. The dead man was about 45 years old and weighed about 145 pounds. The body is now at the morgue in Lawrence. Several days ago a man was reported as missing from Barren Island, and it is surmised that possibly this may be that person's body.
