About one o'clock this morning, as Neill McGoldrick, residening at the corner of Flushing avenue and Oxford street, and Thomas Slavin, residing at the corner of Myrtle avenue and Steuben street, were returning from a sleigh ride, the team of horses they were driving took fright at the corner of Grand and Willoughby avenues and bolted. Both men were thrown out and severely injured.
