The Freeport A, A. took the Klrk- maa A. A. into camp after four at¬ tempts last Saturday by the score of € to 0. The victory was an unusual one as we aiso shut them out; some¬ thing more than they did to us. The Freeport boys deserve great credit for they played a great game right from the start.
Bedell pitched a flne game allow¬ ing but four hits, fanniag six men and giving two passes, while Dunn ftUB bumped for 13 hits, fanned three and gave a base on bal l.s, I
Ellison was forced tu leave his position behind the bat in the first inning, when a dead ball hit him on the flnger almost breaking it. "Shad" Lewis, who was umpiring took Abe's p^ce and Ellison went in right field wbere he played a wonderful game.
Saturday, September 4, the Hemp¬ stead A. A. will be the attraction, and on Labor Oay afternoon there will be a double-header with the Mineola A. C. The first game will start at 2 p. m. This will be a sort •f rubber game as each team has won by the acore of 3 to 0. Three fast games will be on tap so turn out and witness theni as the season is gettlns •bort. Score:

COUNTY BOAD MAINTENANCE. The Town of Hempstead.
The matter of maintaining -our county roads has been so frequently mentioned in The Inquirer, that a number of our taxpayers have re¬ quested that we give them more de¬ tailed information of the way in which the several funds" have been expended.

"Yours very truly.
CtrARUKS L,, PHIPP.^. "County Controller," We are particularly gratified to be
able to present this to our readers, because the statement shows that al¬ though our expenditures are large in the aggregate, our mileage is corre¬ spondingly so; and there has been no larger expenditure than was neces¬ sary to put the roads into such repair as was demanded by all who travel on them. Our readers will observe that by far the greater part of the expen¬ diture has been for "resurfacing" and "repaving," and we are inform¬ ed that this bas been Gone by the Warrenite process, which gives a guarantee of flve years, without fur¬ ther repairs. This is a long step in advance of the old-fashioned way of doing business, and would seem to give assurances that we will, in the future, have better roads with less expense. It certainly would appear from this statement that a most sat¬ isfactory use has been made of the money appropriated; and as The In- (julrer believes that credit should always be given to him to whom credit is due, we would add that tbis showing reflects great credit upon the wise administration of our supervisor, Mr. Hiram R. Smith.

(By iSpeciai Correspondent,)
The fashionable summer colony at Long Beach for the past week has been engaged with the discussion of the efforts now being made by S. S. Whitehouse, a lawyer of Brooklyn, long prominent In- Democratic poli¬ tics of that borough, to run to earth the "poison tongue' which, he says, has been slandering him. Mr. White- house has said that his investigation had narrowed the list of persons who could be guilty to two men, both of whom, he said, were in the habit of saying mean and contemptible things about their fellows, and either of whom, he said, was mean enough to spread tbe alleged slanderous reports.
The first Intimation that Long Beach had of the choice piece ot gos¬ sip that was brewing within its bor¬ ders was when Mr. Whitehouse, who is staying for the summer at the La¬ fayette Hotel, Long Beach, caused to be inserted in the Long Beach Echo the following to the "honest folk" of Long Beach:
"Liars, as we all know, are ever abroad In our land. Like thieves and thugs they shun the light of day They do their devilish work in tbe dark. They stab in the back. They shoot from ambush. They stealtlflly sneak about and pour their lying stories into receptive ears, and then get under cover and wickedly watch and wait for the effects of their poison.
"Some of tliem, sorry to say, are araong us at Long Beach. They spare neither men, wonien nor the younger people. Defamation Is their princi¬ pal summer recreation, and they ae- ilght iu the misery and damage they cause.
"I earne.stly appeal to the men ana women of Long Beach to help locate and identify him who started that story about me, to the end that I may nail the He and the llar, and thus ren¬ der a salutary service to all respect¬ able pcopie of Long Beach.
"Every communication sent to me iu resi>6nse to this appt^aJ will be treated In strict eonlidence, unless written consent shall be made that I may make use of it."
Speaking of the matter recently, Mr, Whitehouse said:
"I do not care to say anything more on this subject at this tUne. At the proper moment I shall expose the per¬ petrator of the Infamous slanders which have beeil circulated about mn. .My investigation has convinced me that only two persons, both men, could have been guilty of such an out¬ rage. Eelther of theiu is competent to spread such lying reports, for both are in the habit of doing it. But I in¬ tend to stop them if I can. I expect lo instigate jiroceeiTings to .-jtop the continued circulation of these reports, which have been scattered far and wide in this vicinity because they were of a sensational nature."
Other than to say that there was 110 politics in the affair Mr. White¬ liouse declined to discu8.s the matter further. He has been doing some legal business for William H. Rey¬ nolds, formerly State senator, during ills stay at Long Beach this summer, and Mr. Whitehouse is inclined to be¬ lieve that enemies he mado in this work are responsible for the circula¬ tion of the reporls to which he objects,
Mr, Whitehouse, who was at one time counsel-for the late Patrick H. McCarren, has been defeated three times in his candidacy for a place on the aupreme bourt, Brooklyn.
MAY FTgIt MOSQDITO
ASSEMBLYMAN M'WHINNEY TO URGE MEASURE NEXT SESSION.
(Special to Thc Nassau Post.) MINEOLA, Sept. 2.—Assemblyman Thomas A. McWhinney said here last Saturday that very likely an appro¬ priation for the extermination of mos¬ quitoes on Long Island will be urged before the next legislature. Assem¬ blyman McWhinney said that al¬ though the different leagues for the eradication of the pests had done good locally, there is no general decrease In the number of the insects and that efforts to rid the Island of the mo¬ squito have proved unsatisfactory thus far.
The assemblyman said he was sure an appropriation could be obtained, and that, If re-elected, he would take the matter up and see that it gets an early hearing, if there la a popu¬ lar demand for the work.
W P.MILLER WAS
SUCCUMBS TO PBOLONGED ILL¬ NESS AFTEB 65 YEABS OF AC¬ TIVITY—AN INVENTIVE GEN¬ IUS PROMINENT IN COUNTY.
William P. Miller, 67, year/; old, passed to his rest on MoudaY, August .10, after a prolonged illness lasting about eighteen months. He was a native of New Vork City, for many years a resident of Hempstead, and for over twenty years a familiar flg¬ ure on the streets of Kreeport where he had lived for that period, respected by all who were fortunate enough to know him, IJy his death Freeport has lost one of its best citizens.
Mr. Millers father built the New York postolllce, and the son was a superintendent of construction. When the river steamer Mary Powell waa built and turned over by the builders there was no one in the employ of the owner.s who could get the engines to move, and Mr, Mllb-r was sent hy the builders to educate the engineers who were handling the vessel, and he it was who held the throttle on her first trip UJ) the Hudson River, Thi.s was 4,'> years ago. He had an inventive turn of mind, and has left behind him several examples of his genius. Perhaps the greatest of these Is the process whereby lubricating oils and greases are deoderized. The patent was sold by him to the Standard Oil Company for a small fortune.
During the Orange riots in New York in 1871 Mr. Miller was a ser¬ geant in the National Guard, and was shortly afterward promoted te the captaincy of his company for con¬ spicuous brvaery displayed at that time.
For some time he was leader of the Republican party in the Village of Hempstead. Shortly after coming to Freeport he became Interested In bowling, and from the associations formed then h€ started the Freeport Club, and was its first president. The beautiful club house on Grove street will long rctnalu a monument to bis untiring energy and indomitable wlll.
He was a member of Altairc Lodge, Brooklyn, and Freeport Chapter, F. and A. M., being a charter member of the chapter.
Mr. Miller Is survived by his sec¬ ond wife, Cara Pfohl Miller; two sons, Charles Gardner Miller and Ar¬ thur E, Miller of Hempstead, and Eleanor and Gladys Miller of this vil¬ lage.
The funeral was held from his late residence, 11 !• Miller avenue, on Wednesday, .September 1, the Rev. Frank M. Kerr of the Hompstead I'resbyterian church officiating, and followed by Masonic servicejj by Mor¬ ton Lodge, The Interment was fn Greenfleld cemetery.
