Long Island's Fame
Long Island has done a heap for the world. It gave a lot of aid in starting these United States, contributing both men and money to make the Empire State one of the lucky 13. It raised the trees and vines that meant so much in Colonial times. It was the site of the first custom house, academy and lighthouse. It furnished the food for man and beast that enabled the little hamlets of New York City and Brook¬ lyn to develop, after making of itself a barrier to the ocean's buffetings, forming thereby the magnificent har¬ bor wbich built up for the Empire State the biggest city in the world. It furnished training ground for the army that helped free Cuba and the camps of recuperation for that tropic's tried horde. It furnished two gover¬ nors and the most famous of the coun¬ try's Presidents The finest oyaters, asparagus, clams, ducks, fruits and plant seeds. It produced the first automobile, the scooter at home on ice or in water. It developed the airship and a famous Suffragette hiker; the first dynamite gun.

its vice president, A. S. Malcomson. Mr. Malcomson, at the public meeting in Bellmore three weeks ago, had
! agreed with the Bellmore Company to
! file their terms and sjt a date for the
; starting of the work toward supplying
t this territory with water. At the
'meeting on Monday he stated his com-
I pany was unable to aet a date when
I they would coRirrience thi.s work and urged the Board to postpone any action
jon the matter for a year in order to
j give the company time to perfect plans which they already have under way for furniahine water to Bellmore, Wantagh and Seaford.
Upon the vote being taken the Board waa unanimously in favor of granting the permit to the Bellmore Company and Counaelor Edwards was directed to prepare the incorporation papers and present them for execution at the meeting of the Board next Monday af¬ ternoon.
The committee of five citizens ap¬ pointed by the Board in the matter of the Franklin Square Lighting District requested that the district be allowed one hundred electric lights of 32 can¬ dle power each at a cost of not to ex ceed $15 per light per annum. The request was granted and bids for sup¬ plying this district will be opened at the meeting of the Bodrd on March 23.

Sireet Commiaaioner S. Foster Sprague haa been a busy man during the last two weeks, with gutters choked with ice, anow and water.

When th& office and safe was opened Tuesday morning it was soon seen that the contents had been disturbed ahd the money abstracted.
Mr. Haff informs us that only four people know the combination, and of these all have been practically ac¬ counted for.

Train Jumps Track
More than 800 men, women and children are thanking their lucky stars for a narrow Escape from death Tues¬ day evening, while aome half dozen are treating minor bruiaes caused when a Jamaica electric express, loaded with more than 800 paasengers and much freight, was almost thrown into the street from the elevated structure near Hendrix street. Eaat New York.
The train left the Long Island de¬ pot at 5:22 p. m., and was making fif¬ ty miles an hour. The rear truck of the fourth car left the track as it struck an open switch. The speed of the train carried the derailed truck and the two following cara along, rip¬ ping up the third rail and amashing the wooden work on the atruture for ten blocks.
Conductor Oscar Whaley finally reached the motorman's box and suc¬ ceeded in getting the motorman to shut off the power. The thr^ rear cara were suspended over the street being held only by a coupling. Had this broken more than 400 would have plunged twenty-five feet to probable death.
Twelve-year-old William Burnett, of 301 Warwick street, wae the most aeriouaiy hurt. He was playing in Atlantic avenue when the derailed train plowed its way along the struc¬ ture. A large piece of the third rail hit him in the abdomen. He was tak- ent to his home by some passeraby and treated by a phyaician. •
The tie-up was not cleared up for three hours.—Times.

Opposition for TroHey
The L. I. R. R. Co. has notified the Freeport Railroad Co. that it objects to tbe extenaion of the trolley line from Grove Street, along Ilailroad Avenue to Main street, and atatea, through its president, Ralph Peters, that the congestion about the station is so great that the operation of trol¬ ley cars through riie avenue would work hardship on other vehicles and on general traffic.
The L. I. R. C. Co. purchased a atrip approximately 100 feet wide from Ce¬ cilia Holloway upon which it was to erect a depot and reserve for highway purposes a atrip 60 feet wide, from Main to Grove Street.
Mr. Lamb takes exception to tbe claim of the railroad, and argues that it was the idea of those who prepared the deed covering Railroad Avenue that it would be the most natural thing in the world that a street railroad for tbe accommodation of the traveling public doing business with the rail¬ road, should run through that street.
Mr. Lamb is quoted as saying that if the L. I. R. R. Co. declines to make conceasions, the Freeport Railroad Company will begin condemnation pro¬ ceedings in an endeavor to obtain a right of way through the avertue.

The Eagle correspondent last Sun¬ day sent out the information that Rev. Theodore King, rector of .^t. Barnabas' Church, would manage the Bellmore Baseball Club thia summer. This^ an¬ nouncement, if true, insures some good baseball here this Summer, as Father King's managerial ability is well known. He directed the fortunes of several strong teams while stationed in Brooklyn. There ia no reaaon why Father King i should not have & first-claas team this summer.

Mr. Malcomson, at the public meeting in Bellmore three weeks ago, had ! agreed with the Bellmore Company to ! file their terms and sjt a date for the ; starting of the work toward supplying t this territory with water. At the 'meeting on Monday he stated his com- I pany was unable to aet a date when I they would coRirrience thi.s work and urged the Board to postpone any action jon the matter for a year in order to j give the company time to perfect plans which they already have under way for furniahine water to Bellmore, Wantagh and Seaford. Upon the vote being taken the Board waa unanimously in favor of granting the permit to the Bellmore Company and Counaelor Edwards was directed to prepare the incorporation papers and present them for execution at the meeting of the Board next Monday af¬ ternoon.

When th& office and safe was opened Tuesday morning it was soon seen that the contents had been disturbed ahd the money abstracted. Mr. Haff informs us that only four people know the combination, and of these all have been practically ac¬ counted for.

Eaat New York. The train left the Long Island de¬ pot at 5:22 p. m., and was making fif¬ ty miles an hour. The rear truck of the fourth car left the track as it struck an open switch. The speed of the train carried the derailed truck and the two following cara along, rip¬ ping up the third rail and amashing the wooden work on the atruture for ten blocks. Conductor Oscar Whaley finally reached the motorman's box and suc¬ ceeded in getting the motorman to shut off the power. The thr^ rear cara were suspended over the street being held only by a coupling. Had this broken more than 400 would have plunged twenty-five feet to probable death. Twelve-year-old William Burnett, of 301 Warwick street, wae the most aeriouaiy hurt. He was playing in Atlantic avenue when the derailed train plowed its way along the struc¬ ture. A large piece of the third rail hit him in the abdomen. He was tak- ent to his home by some passeraby and treated by a phyaician. • The tie-up was not cleared up for three hours.—Times.

Opposition for TroHey The L. I. R. R. Co. has notified the Freeport Railroad Co. that it objects to tbe extenaion of the trolley line from Grove Street, along Ilailroad Avenue to Main street, and atatea, through its president, Ralph Peters, that the congestion about the station is so great that the operation of trol¬ ley cars through riie avenue would work hardship on other vehicles and on general traffic. The L. I. R. C. Co. purchased a atrip approximately 100 feet wide from Ce¬ cilia Holloway upon which it was to erect a depot and reserve for highway purposes a atrip 60 feet wide, from Main to Grove Street. Mr. Lamb takes exception to tbe claim of the railroad, and argues that it was the idea of those who prepared the deed covering Railroad Avenue that it would be the most natural thing in the world that a street railroad for tbe accommodation of the traveling public doing business with the rail¬ road, should run through that street. Mr. Lamb is quoted as saying that if the L. I. R. R. Co. declines to make conceasions, the Freeport Railroad Company will begin condemnation pro¬ ceedings in an endeavor to obtain a right of way through the avertue.
