September 2 Good brakes on the locomotive and the presence of mind of Engineer David Mc-Claren saved the lives of a valuable team of horses owned by Bruno Zologa of Aquobogue yesterday noon. The team started to run away Just west of the Jamesport depot. The wagon collided with an obstruction, and the team, breaking clear from it, dashed up the track directly toward the fast noon mail. If the engine had kept going, there was no escape for the horses, because of a high embankment on both sides of the track. Engineer McClaren saw the team al most as quickly as It came on the tracks.

He applied the emergency brakes, and the train came to a very quick stop, yet it was smoothly done. I'assengers were immediately alarmed. 1 hey thought another crossing acci dent was the reason for the abrupt stop between stations, but they were soon reassured. The train was only a few feet from the animals when it stopped. Then the horses turned about as the train crew dropped off to catch them, and sped down the track again.

Zologa's workman was down at the other end of tho cut by that time, and caught the team. SECURE FARE REDUCTION Richenstein Gets Action for Rockville Centre Travelers. (Special to The Eagle.) Rockville Centre, L. September The residents of this place and Valley Stream, through the efforts of William Richenstein, a former village president, have secured a reduction In the fare the cars of the New York and Long Island Traction Company between the two points. The fare was formerly 10 cents, but now It has been changed to cents between Rockaway avenue, Valley Stream and Village avenue, Rockville Centre.

Tho reduction follows out the terms the charter granted by the village Board of Trustees to the company some years ago. The 5-cent fare between the two villages was in force for a number of years, but three years ago the fare was raised. Those who were forced to use the cars were very indignant and immediately made an application to the Public Service Commission for a reduction. The merchants of the place also engaged counsel to fight the raise. When the hearing was held before the commission the company made a plea that it could not afford to carry passengers the distance in question at the price, and the application was denied.

Mr. Richenstein got in touch with the trolley officials and told them they were violating one of the provisions of (he fra'ichise. The following addressed to Mr. Richenstein, Is the result: Dear Sir Pursuant, to" your request and the request of. the business men Rockville Centre this company will, and after September 1, charge 5 cents for a ride between Rockaway avenue, Valley Stream, and Village avenue, Rockville Centre.

The rate for a single ride from Rose-dale to Rockville Centre will remain heretofore, 10 cents. Yours very truly, W. O. WOOD, Vice Pres. and Gen.

FIREMEN GATHER 1,500 STRONG FOR RIVERHEAD MEET Big Crowd of "Varrtps" in An-hual Tournament on County Fair Grounds.

PARADE STARTS THE DAT. Exciting Contests Expected Handsome Prizes Offered Fair Grounds May Be Regular Site. (Special to The Eagle.) Rlverhead, L. September 2 The fact that no village In Suffolk County extended an Invitation to the Suffolk County Volunteer Firemen's Association to hold Its annual tournament with It didn't dampen the enthusiasm the firemen and their friends a little bit. The tournament Is being t-eld here today, and, as usual, It Is proving a big success.

It Is customary for some village to ct as host. For some reason such an invitation was lacking this year, so the association's officers decided to have the association run the tourna ment itself, and selected the Suffolk County Fair Grounds here as the spot. Is apparent that it was a wise move, and It Is believed that the Fair Grounds may be selected annually TT-7 "1 Secretary J. Fred. Flugrath.

hereafter, for here the track is always orderr-no need to build a specla: ne: no streets are obstructed or closed for the contests; no grand, stand needs to be erected eapeclally for the occasion. A water main Is handy ight at the grand stand. In fact, all of the arrangements are ideal. This is the twenty-ninth annual event that has attracted attention In all parts of the State and which has Piped keep the volunteer departments In Suffolk up to such a high state of fliclency. The early Indications were hat it would be fully as largely at tended by both firemen and audience and fully ns successful as any of tho twenty-eight predecessors.

Certainly none of the details to make It so had been omitted. President Post, Secretary Flugrath and other officials had looked well after the many details of the affair. Crowds on Hand Farly for Tourna ment, While the official tournament did not begin until noontime, there was much of interest In the arrival of the ex cursion trains, the unloading ot the apparatus, getting it In line, and crowds assembled to look on and enjoy it all. Arriving here the visiting fliemen were met by delegations oi Rlverhead citizens and cordially wel comed. The firemen were divided Into four divisions.

Each division was to include a certain number of companies. These divisions were taken In charge by Assistant Chief Nathnn Corwln of the Rlverhead Fire De partment and three assistants, one man to each division. Then the com panies wore marched to their stations so they could be ready to fall Into the bne of march at the proper tlmo without friction. By noon all the firemen had arrived. It was found there were 1,600 of them with their apparatus and bands of mus'c.

Then tne parade started. It was a mile-long parade. In some cases entire departments with appa latus were represented; In others parts of departments, and In still others only th men, without appa tatus. The parade headed up Grlfflng ave nue toward the Fair Grounds. The lower part of the village wos not visited by the parade, the Idea being tc havee the entire tournament on the Fair Grounds In full view of the grand stand, packed with thousands of merry makers.

Obviously the half-mile track at the fair grounds was not large enough for the parade, hut It was wide enough for counter inarching; and, In addition there was the big circle within the campus. At times there were three and four columns of marching firemen and apparatus abreast of the grand stand, making an unusual yet very satisfactory parade. This scheme, too, made all of the firemen pass the stand In single formation and again In double formation, giving two opportunities to view the splendid marching and the handsomely decorated machines and the well-uniformed departments. Motor Apparatus Frntiiro of Parade. Of unusual Interest In the parade, too, waa the motor apparatus from I'atchogue, Southampton and other villages.

This was a brand new feature this year. After seeing the apparatus here. It Is aafe to say that before another year several other depart-mant will make a strenuous effort to get similar appsratus, and that contests for the motor machines will be on the programme at the next tournament. One of the features larking In the parade was the presence of the big department from Llndenhurat, At no previous tournuini nt In recollection have the I.linlenhurst boys been absent. Just what the trouble was that kept the department at home this year has not been learned.

Shortly before 2 o'rlork the contests started. There were thirty. five hand some prises to he awarded, and strife was keen to win the cups, aotna of which were unusually hand-oma and large In else and of considerable Intrinsic value. As soon a the content! started It wm that ail cf "fighting 'ht the the the so CHARITIES AID PUTS VETO ON PROJECT FOR BI-COUNTY HOSPITAL Dr. Brown Declares Plan Proposed in Nassau and Suffolk Is Illegal.

HAS MANY DRAWBACKS, TOO. State Worker Gays Plan Has Failed Wherever It Has Been Tried. (Special to The Eagle.) Mineola, L. September 2 That the erection of a bi-couiity hospital for tuberculosis, which has been proposed for Nassau and Suffolk counties, Is Illegal, besides Impractical, is the argu ment. of theRev.

Harvey Dee Brown, field agent for the State Charities Aid Association, In a letter addressed to the Nassau County Association. Dr. Brown writes that the plan has been seriously discussed In nineteen counties which had previously planned to build such bi-county hospitals, but that In the end It was eliminated as undesirable in each case. The onty way, he said, to build a bi-county hos pital legally was to obtain permission from the State Legislature, but this Is not an easy matter. Besides this bar to the erection of a tuberculosis Institution for the two counties, Dr.

Brown cited practical reasons for opposing the plan. Social workers and physicians agree, he said, that a tuberculosis hospital should be close to the center of population, from which it Is to receive its patients. This cannot be accomplished with the peO' pie residing In centers in two different counties, in addition he said, co operation of the counties In this mat, ter is difficult to secure. It would mean a divided responsibility; Com plications would arise on the question of locating1 a site for the hospital and providing for Its administration. Fric tion would be caused In the selection of superintendents and in the appoint ment of the board of managers.

In the purchasing of supplies, he said, there would be a discussion be tween the two counties as to whether ny one of the counties has not paid its share of the costs. "If for any reason," he wrote to the Nassau County Association, one Board of Supervisors should fail or refuse to provide for the cost of maintenance, serious problems would arise which might lead to a resort to the courts In order to attempt to compel the delin quent county to fulfill its He said tnat tne same plan was at tempted by two counties in Ohio, and It turned out to be a failure. This, he hoped, should be enough to divert the plan of Nassau and Suffolk counties rrom their original plan to one of building their own tuberculosis hospitals.

September 2 William Possley of Case avenue has devised a substitute for natural scenery which may provide a valuable suggestion for crowded flat dwellers of the big cities. The spacious view from his front porch having been partly cut by the erection of a house well forward on the adjoining property of Edward Beach, Possley has had a sheet Iron fence seven feet high erected along the line between the places, his side of which is painted a glowing landscape In bright yellow and green tones. The big picture Is a fairly accurate representation of the view which Possley used to feast his eyes when he sat out to take the air, consisting of one small house and numerous open lots. Unfortunately the fence, which Is about 15 feet long, Interferes quite seriously With the view of E.

S. Millard, who occupies the Beach house next door, and also the reverse side of the structure Is not beautiful In its lack of symmetry and wealth of rust. According to Millard his neighbor has nothing against him, but wants to spite the landlord. The latter naturally Is not pleased, but so far has put up no ngnt.
