William Bush, who escaped fhom Officer D. Frank Seaman on October 1st, was re-captured by him Thursday night. A passenger on a trolley car saw Bush get off a trolley car at Bald¬ win and notified Constable Pettit. The constable, accompanied by Officers Sea¬ man, Dunbar, Murray and Hunt, went to Baldwin, and went aboard the fish¬ ing boat Viva Branford, where Bush had gone. Officer Seaman went down the hatch, and found Bush sleeping in a bunk. It was a rude awakening, but Bush offered no resistance. He was brought to Freeport, kept in the cell over night, and Friday morning, hand¬ cuffed to Officer Seaman, he was land- [ed in the county jail at Mineola.

Editor Review:
In view of publicity given to the, matter of our bid for insurance on the local school, we desire that tax payers may fully understand our position, and draw their own conclusions as to the reasons for the rejection of our bid, : the lowest presented.
We presented two bids for the re¬ newal of $35,000 insurance, one in :-o- called non-board Companies at the rate of 55c for three years; another in so- called tariff Companies (members of the Insuranca Combination) at tho : rate of 67Jc for tliree year-J. \
As regards the first n.'imed class of] Companies, we can only say that they were thoroughly relable, accepted throughout the United States by all large insurers, were all approved by the Insuraifbe yc-parttnent o? the ytate of New York, ami among thenv v/as a Company whose assets (American and foreign) are in excess of $20,000,000, and who sust^intd and paid as the re- sult<of the .San Franciso conflagration, a losi in excess of •32,000,000, this lat¬ ter Company being the one whose finan¬ cial strength haa recently referred to in the public press.
We might further add that the Con¬ solidated School Act, deni^nates the class of Companies . in which Local School Boards are authorized to effect insurance, and all of the Companies nameel in both of our bids are included in this class.
As regards the Tariff Companies, we gave the Board practically their own choice of Companies, and in our bid mentioned a half dozen of the leading Companies doing business in this country, the choice of any pr all of which would have been satisfactory to us.
The board passed a resolution to dis¬ tribute this insurance to various local agents, allotting $5000 to our office "provided that the rates and conditions were the same." We regret to say that neither of these bids were accept-

Tuesday afternoon the fire company was called out to fighc a fire in the woods west of, Seaman's Neck Road J which was raging fiercely, fanjied by a strong northerly wind, and which threatened several buildings, especial¬ ly the ice houses of David Waring and Wm. Condit, and the barn in the rear of the property occupied by Messrs. Eldert and Michenfelder. A call was also sent to the Wantagh company, who responded promptly, and the work of "backfiring" was kejit up for sev¬ eral hours, the different, places being saved only by hard work, and it was about midnight when the Wantafeh company returned homo. Shortly af¬ ter this the bell rang again, and the fire was seen to have started again in an equally dangerous place. After a couple of hours more of work the fire men returned home, the wind having shifted during the afternoon so that the fire not under control was burning directly away from the buildings. It IS fortunate that the trolley company had previously cleared a place through the swamp just north of" the houses, giving the firemen and the willing vol¬ unteers room to work in, although too much praise and thanks cannot be^iven those who helped subdue the fiames.
