ATTMR TOBOGGAN SLIDE.

Merry Times on Christmas DaY-An
 Exciting Affair at the Slide-Tyvo
 Prominent Society Ladies Injured.
 There was no end of merry times at the toboggan slide on Cold Spring street Christi mas day Lots of people walked out or rode out in carriages to see the enjoyment, the day being so delightful a winters day. Among the young sliders none took more active interest in it than Misa Clara North, daughter of William B. North of the firm of o. B. North & Co. Miss North was accom- panied by the family housekeepsr, Mrs. May and Mr. Prindle, one of the beokkeepers em- pIoyed in the office of her fathers shop. They had climbed the stairs many times dur ing the day, and as many times taken the plunge down the incline upon the strip of wood about one-eighth of an inch thick that protects the body from the congealed surface below, and always came back smiling.
 About o'clock the North party prepared to take ths last slide, and MT. W. i. Merwin, who stood at the head of tho slide, gave the toboggan a shove and away it went. Miss North sat in front, Mrs. May behind her and MT. Prindle clung on to the rear. Every thing was all ri ght until after the toboggan reached the ground part of the chute, when MISS North was suooeAly enIo"A Anto sno oiA several feet and landed on the opposite slide. Mrs. May took similar flight. MT. Prindle and ths toboggan continued on it's course. When Miss North was picked up she was cov- cred with bleod, which flowed freely from an ugly flesh wound OF her forehead. Mrs. May was unconscious and fell in such way as to break her arm. How the accident happened is not fully known, but it is supposed that the drapery of the young ladies' dresses caught under the toboggan, and in attempt ing to extricats the garments both ladies lost their balance and were hurled of the chute. Yesterday both of the ladies were resting easily. It was discovered that Mrs. May arm, her left one, was broken in two places. Miss North has finger broken.

She Took a Bridge Train Just After the
 Accident.


 Accident.
 Kate Claxton, who is playing at the Grand Opera House, Brooklyn, in "The World Againt Her," has met with both profit and loss these holidays. She does not complain since profit far exceeds loss. She came near being in the accident on the bridge on Christ mas eve. She took train from New York just after the accident happened. The train stopped about half way over and stayed there. Miss Claxton had appointed re- hearsal of her company to take place before the play, and she was very anxious to get over. The delay frighted her. She was with her brother, Spencer Cone. After waiting 8 quarter of an hour she tried to get out of the car, but could not at that time. Then she tried to climb out of window, but MT. Cone held her back. Finally she made her escape through the door, climbed over the railing, and jumped nearly her height into tho road- way. She sprained her hand in doing so, and dropped two $20 gold pieces which were in 8 sleeve pocket. But she got to the thea ter in time. The manager sent boy with a box of matches to hunt for the gold pieces, but they couldn't be found. Miss Claxton doesn't mourn their loos, because after the matinee yesterday her company presented her with bracelet containing fifteen dia- rnonds. Last Christmas Miss Claxton gave a dinner to her company in Brooklyn. This was a return Christmas gift.
