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.

An Aged Lady Badly Injured
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.

Mary Wiley Will Get Damages
New York, 1895
Testimony was taken Monday morning in the circuit court before Justice Kellog and a jury as to the extent of the damages sustained by Mary Wiley, a 12-year-old child, in a railroad accident at Jamaica some years ago. The girl's legs were cut off by a train belonging to the Long Island railroad company. She began suit through her father, John Wiley, as guardian ad litem to recover $50,000. The case was brought to trial before Justice Brown at circuit and the plaintiff was non-suited. The general term reversed this decision and sent the case back for a new trial. Instead of going throuh a long trial, Lawyer Beecher, for the defendant, stipulated for judgment absolute if the Court of Appeals should uphold the general term and took the case up. The Court of Appeals did uphold the general term and the case was sent back to circuit for the assessment of damages.
The jury awarded $12,000 damages.
The Surrogate's Court
Surrogate Weller on Friday admitted to probate the wills of Annie Napier, Francis May, Mary Bogart and Sarah A. Griffen. Accountings were had in the estates of Mathew F. Robbins and Robert H. Johnston.
To-day's calendar — Will cases of Increase C. Hendrickson, Stephen H. Bedell, and Wilhelm Schmidt; accounting estates of Mary C. King, Abraham Vooris, and Henry Van Nostrand.

King May Have Been Drowned
New York, 1895
Much anxiety is felt by the wife and son of Capt. Charles King, of Greenport, who mysteriously disappeared last Saturday afternoon. King was for several weeks engaged by the Shelter Island ferry company as captain of one of its boats. King was obliged to remain at Shelter Island nights. On Saturday afternoon while in Salter's restaurant at Greenport he said he would be over to see his folks the next day. He had not seen them in two weeks. On Saturday evening he dressed himself in his good clothes and took supper at Scudder Smith's at Shelter Island Heights, where he boarded. After supper he left the house without saying a word as to his destination, and has not been seen since.
Mr. Ford's Ill Luck
L. Ford, of Sea Cliff, has been having more than his share of trouble lately. Friday his 3-year-old daughter was badly bitten by a pet dog. Saturday his 6-year-old son fell from a fence and sustained a very severe fracture of the elbow.

Six Injured
New York, 1895
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.
