At the public meeting held in the Fire | '^'•••*' '''*" village.
House, Wednesday, by the Town Board, to act on the application of the Bald¬ win Water Co. for permisison to plac^ wa£e??inain8 in this village, a big crowd, that entirely filled the building turned out to bave their say and vote on the matter. Chairman Supervisor Smith Cox and Justice Gittens, both informed the meeting that they were in no way eonnected with the company, and had no intereat in it whatsoever. The meeting opened by having the applica¬ tion read. The plan of the company as to rates and service, the company in¬ tended to use, were explained to the meeting by J. Huyler Ellison. Short speeches were made by Richard Suits, Thomas Willis, William Austin, secre¬ tary of the Baldwin CSvic Club, Coun- seller A. T. Davison, and E. H. Payne. At the outset it was annarent that sen¬ timent was against granting the com¬ pany the franchise. There seemed to be a misunderstanding about the matter all around, and some heated remarks were made during the short session. When it was put to vote which was taken by holding up of hands, there were two in favor and the rest against the proposition.
Undoubtedly, this village would be benefited by a water company and the present opposition to granting a fran¬ chise is caused hy something we know nothing abont nor do we care to know. We fail in onr mission as a newspaper when we drclinft to speak for something that will better any section this paper i-overs. The citizens who voted against the proposition, acted as they thought best, and we believe they will be the first to come aronnd and vote for a water plant for the village of Baldwin when tliey receive more light on the subject.

Beach proper. Since the Senator's offer there have been received by the Town Board other offers of more money for the same land, but a noticeable fact in connection with these offers is the fact that they were made too late to prop¬ erly lay them before the people in bal¬ lot form for their action at the polls. Senator Kissell, of Kings County, Brook¬ lyn, makes one of these offers. He is a resident of Oceanside in the summer time, and Dr. Schmuck, of Lawrence, makes another offer. In connection with these offers, it has been noted tliat in one of the public meetings, Fred. Gilbert stated that he represented a syndicate which would offer $250,000 for these lands.
The Senator answered him promptly, saying that if he would draw up the legal document and present them he (Reynolds) would sign the property over to the Gilbert syndicate in case the voters favored the selling, and would pay the difference between the two figures in cash to the town for nothidg and $10,000 to charity.
This matter is hy far one of the most talked about in the Town to-day. The voters will end all discussion at least for a year, when they go to the polls.
Speaking for the proposition b»4»ic voters of the Town of Hempstead, to purchase additional lands at Long Beach adjoining the present Long Beach Es¬ tates, ex-Senator William H, Re3molds is addressing residents« of various vil¬ lages in support of this proposition.

He has al¬ ready spoken in Merrick, Wantagh, Sea¬ ford, Lynbrook, Valley Stream and In¬ wood. All meetings are held in the evening.

We regret to have to report the sad death Thursday of the three and one- half year old son of Henry Verity. The little one had been ill for some time and passed away quietly.

The baseball diamond Monday morning looked like a scene from last night's car¬ nival. There were about 'steen miles of colored papers strewn about, showing the crowd's enthusiasm for the local club which won the last game of the season from the Bay Shore sluggers who came over to do them up. The score amounted to 21 for Bellmore and 8 for the visitors. Batteries Seaman and Merritt pitchers, and Smith behind th? bat. Bedell and Wicks for the Bay Shore crowd. Now, then all out for the big game between the '"locals" next Sunday.
"Christ's Message to the Modem Church," as given in the letter to the church at Sardis, will be the subject of the sermon, by Dr. W. A. Richard, at the Methodist-Episcopal Church on Sunday morning. At 7.30 P. M., he will preach on, "A Rich Find."
Joseph Lafferty of Cross Street is dead. His case attracted attention throughout the nftdical profession. Mr. Lafferty was a well-known sight in Hempstead, where he was pushed about on a cot-like carriage. He was a victim of a trolley car accident, and was given ^$12,000 shout two years ago through his counsel, Pierce M. Browne, for in¬ juries received. Mr. Lafferty was 23 years old, and leaves, a widow, child, and a host of friends to mourn his death.
The little chapel of St. Catherine of Sienna, at Franklin Square, is to be dedicated on Wednesday, Oct. 27, at 10.30 A. M., by the Right Rev. Bishop Mc¬ Donald of Brooklyn. Rev. William B.

Evans-Powers Fight
The second scrap between Dr. Evans and'Thomas Powers, both of Freeport, took place Monday night, with disastrous results for the doctor. The first scrap, ac¬ cording to Powers, took place when he was engaged by a Mr. Welden to dig post holes for a fence, to be erected between the Welden and' Evans properties on lower Main Street. At that time, Dr. S^vans ordered Powers to stop the work, stating the holes were on his, (Evans) property. Powers refeiyed him to his em¬ ployer. From reports we gather that the doughty doctor swung hard on Powers' jaw and  Powers retaliated,  then  Mrs.
mix-up, landed in one of the post holes and all the belligerents were then placed hors de combat. (?) Both'aides spilled some red blood and friends knew the end was not in sight and they were right, for Monday night, near 6 o'clock, Evans aad Powers met on Main Street and Powers states the doctor punched him through

Small ¥irt Wednesday
In the residence of Mrs. C. W. Bedell, comer of Bay View Ave. and Archer St., a fire was discovered back of the kitchen range, Wednesday moming. The department came out in good time, Bay View Hose being firsi on the scene. Hap¬ pily there was little or no damage, $20 will cover the loes.

"At 9.15 the power bouse an¬ swered her ring and at 9.16 the whistle was sounded, making a delay of 11 min¬ utes ibefore the firemen were notified. It would seem that by ihis time some more adequate means of giving a prompt alarm of fire at the power honse could be devised. The size of ihe village de¬ mands ^t. It seems wrong that the good fire department the tillage is Messed witb should be hampered in its work at fires by this poor method of sounding fire alarms.
