MJTHTOWN, Aug, The srllelee from liunllngtun In two recent isiuw ut (he Brooklyn Times sgllutlng the) lubjiwt of luklr.a trnuou meiiiumi to ut Hop to Hi wholesale horse suollng which hm been going- on fur some tint In tho Counties of Nassau, Queens and luffolk, ar must llmely.

Th only horse to be recovered and tho thief captured from tin large number stolon within the last few months is a valuable aiilmul biloiitinar to Mr, II.

Otmmtu, of liiiuppHUmis, Uurtolk County. This horse was taken from the stable) on the night of Sunday. June IS. The owner Immediately put himself In communication with the Police Department of New York city und secured the services of detectives, with the pleasing result that In just two weeks the horse wua back In his staelo, snd two or three duya later the thief was safely lodged In the county jail at Klverhead, to await the action of the Bop-tembor Grand Jury. Tho Board of Supervisors should Immediately employ a good detective, and In every capture the hall should be llxetl ut the highest possible limit.

Whenever a. horse thief Is brought to trial the Jury should inflict the most severe penalty which the luw will allow. Meantime every horse owner and farmer on Long Island should have hln stables and barn connected by hiirlnr nlnrm with his sleeping room, the wires for obvious reasons lo be placed under ground. Then procure and keep In a safe place a watchful dog; load his gun with buck shot and act promptly. Tho best and most Just method of raising; funds to be placed In the hands of tho Su- Kervlsors for the purpose of npprehendlng' orse thieves Is by making every pcdler who cornea Into a township pay Hc-ense fee, r.very aepnrtment store snouiu pay a license fee of loft a year for each wagon entering a town.

Every other ppdler with horsie nnd wagon who, does not reside In the county should pay a license of 125 for rne horse nnd wa gon, nnd their place of residence be recorded Every basket and nack nedler should nay a license fee of 110 per year, and be numbered and recorded thai they might be found If wanted. These Itinerants shotiM be obi Iced to carrv their license with them, that they may be nrnniieea on uie nemnmi nr itnv Timn hit cm I and they should bo nunlshabfe bv line if caught In any township In he county If icunn witnnut a license. This work could ntl he done si the meet Ing place of the Town Bonrd, upon one day In each week, and thus only a. small out lay ror clerical work would be required ond the revenue coming into tho town would be considerable. This fund cnutd he ased bv the Supervisors In rewards, employment of detectives for tho capture and punishment of horse thieves and other burprlars committing depredntlons within the county.

At the end of the year the amount remaining- In the hands of the Supervisors should be added to the amount collected by lax for road purposes. It Is only fair that these traveling merchants should contribute this small share toward keeping In order the roads which their heavy wagons do so much to tear lo pieces. Every storekeeper In the county pays taxes on his place of business, his home and his stocK, and It seems very un.lust for the department stores and stock companies of the large cities to come into tne rural districts, taking' nwoy so much of the ready money In circulation, without one penny toward the running expenses of the county. The element which Infest our country roads on foot, as pedlers. are generally foreigners of the lowest order, and the uafegunrd, of naving- tnem registered and licensed is one to wnicn the wives and daughters of resi' dent taxpayers are entitled.

The expense to cover the above rirecautlnn. ary measure, should come from, the pedlers iiieiiiseives. SUFFOLK COUNTY EDITOES. Excursion Sag Harbor to Block Island, August 28. PATCHOGUE, Aut.

15. The kinder- (guneii bciioui ill me which was founded In 1S6S, has been discontinued on account of the small attendance, and the teachers, Mist Kannle ftausch and Miss Lena Pratt, have been dismissed. This was the first klndergurten established In New York State, and was always well attended. Since the establishment of the kindergarten ystem In the public schools, the attendance In the Institute class has diminished to such on extent that It was decided advisable, in the Interests of economy, to discontinue the school. Thousands of children have been cared for In this institution during the thirty-three years of Iks existence, and Ita discontinuance has caused a feeling of dissatisfaction and regret among the people of College Point.

The greater part of the children now attend the kindergarten recently opened In the Sixth avenue public school. The Board of Control of the Poppenhusen Institute contemplates some radical changes In the management of the evening schools. "While there has been a decided falling off in attendance la these classes also, they will nevertheless be continued, and everv effort mada to encourage the youth to attend these classes. William Harper, who has been en-guged In educational work in the New England States tor many years, has been appointed as General Superintendent of the institute, and he will have sole charge of the publlo library, which will be enlurged materially. The teachers In charge of the evening schools last year were J.

W. Vercx and M. Seymour Bloodgood. the latter having been the drawing teacher In that institution for over twenty-live years. It Is possible that the old Instructors will be retained.

THE BURGLARY AT CHRIST'S, SOME ADDITIONAL fAIlTICTJLARS CONCERNINQ TUB INVASION, Two Mtn la the JoWA Belief That Tiny Returned later, but Kept Tholr Euidi Off. JAMAICA, Aug, lH-Urnrga it, Christ, whose resilience un Cumplun vnili, win Invaded by a burglar tin ITrlduy night, the fellow being frightened of! by a shut from Mr, Christ's revolver, gives some Informix lion additional lo what hs already uppnirmt In ilis llruuklyii Times oonwrnlng ins ad vcnuiro, Mr. UlirM sutil lie wua uwukeiivil by A mumping nuts und promptly foiiciinh-it Inst a buimar was In the house, lie arose rrom Ills tied and looked uut of I ho wlmliiw.

In (lis light of an flvelrlo lamp In' dlscemeil the name of a slcnd.T man standing cloni to a true, Mr. Christ wna alone In the liouiu, tha other inomiinrn of Hit family, his mother and brother, being awuy fur ilio summer, and he concluded it would ho mura prudoiil lo irlghlsn the burglar than to fuco hlm-aiid the fellow near the tret ha was aura wus it confederate and so hs dlsuhargeil his revolver. The report produi'id tho desired effect. Again louklng out of tliu window the moment he discharged the weapon he saw a man rush out of the rear dour. The man near the tr joined him and the two got away as rapidly aa posRllile.

It has already been told In the Brooklyn Times how Mr. Christ was waited on next day by a rake do-loctlve and how he got tki cents out of him 60 cents for "drawing up the puitra" und a dime for a drink. Mr, Christ mild he suspected the fellow when he ukU lilm about the silverware, wanting to know In what part of the house It was stored. The Chrlsis were formerly In the hotel business and have considerable table silverware stored In a box In the house. "How did you obtain all this Information concerning what we have In the house?" Inquired iir.

Christ of the bogua detective. "Oh," said he, "I Inquired about It at Hatter's on the corner and they told me all about It." Mr. Christ then showed the stranger (he case of silverware. Viewing It with what seemed to bo an assumed careless air, he remarked: "Yes, I seei been in the hotel business, haven't you." Having secured the money as stated, the stranger left, remarking; "Thut was a pretty good dodge on your part, firing the revolver, Well," he added, as he passed out. "I guesi they won't trouble you any more.

Ill be on tha lookout Mr. Hatter denied giving the man Information and declared that he had never even seen tihe man. Mr. Christ went to the stntlon Bouse and reported the matter. The two succeeding nights, Saturday and Sunday, Capt.

Hickman detailed two policemen to remain in the house, In the belief that the men would return and attempt to carry off the sliver. Nothing happened, however. The captain's theory was apparently well rounded. On Sunday night two men alighted from a trolley car at John Dlstler's corner, a short distance west of the street on which Mr. Christ lives.

Mr. Christ says that the man who. hurried out of his house at the report of the revolver was of very stout build, and his companion appeared slender. This description tallies with that given of the two men by John Dlstler, who saw them alight from the car and walk east. They perhaps concluded It was too risky to try It, following the fake business.

In the published account of the burglary Mr. Christ was referred to as "Oeorge Kirk," 18 or 19 years old, on Information presumably trustworthy. He Is a veteran of the Spanish-American war and appears to be 28 or 30 years old. ST. JOSEPH'S PAIR, BABYLON.

Ait Auspicious, Opening and Brilliant Promise. BABYLON, Aug. annual fair of St. Joseph's Romnn Catholic Church was formally opened last evening With much ceremony, and the evening was a gala one In every respect. Wrleth's orchestra, of fourteen pieces furnished excellent music and dancing was indulged in on a large elevated The grounds were brilliantly Illuminated by electricity, and presented a very attractive appearance.

The fair is receiving1 substantial support from the residents of New York and Brooklyn who are summering htve, many of whom have tables, while others are working In various ways to crown the event with success. The tables and those in charge of them are: Blessed Virgin Table-Mrs. Annie S. Ar-nod, Airs. Mary Pendergast, Mrs.

John Byrns, Mrs. James Magee, Mrs. Joseph Farley. Sacred Heart Table--Mrs. J.

J. Radley, Miss Delmonlco, Mrs. J. J. Sllbersteln, Mrs.

Clinton Mller Weeks, and the Misses Muhr. Guardian Angel Table-Mins Helen Dnllv and Mrs. Julia Moulffratt, who were assisted by the children of the Sunday School. What promises to excite more than usual Interest is the voting contest. The one in which the greatest Interest hns centred Is the contest for the most popular President of Babylon the winner to receive a golo-headed cane, and the proceeds to be divided among the several religious organizations for the benellt of the poor.

Presl-Idem Edward Daily and former President Henry Van Weelden are the rival candidates, and neither will leave a stone unturned to secure the prise. The most popular tonsorial artist will receive a hand-sane case of Imported razors, and Charles Klleber and Max Schramm, two of the village barbers have entered. There ore a number of other contests, and each one Is likely to create Intense Interest as the friends of the several candidates are working harder than they did at the Presidential election last fall. Several thousand dollars worth of sliver-ware, brlc-a-brac, have been donated by the wealthy supporters of the church, and the profits of the fair, It Is anticipated, will be very large.

Christ realised that It was a case of life and death, but deiormlned to race II. He grasped his revolver and descended the stairs In ills hall, when hs saw a man rushing to the back door from Ihe inning loom. Christ biased awuy wnn nu hooter, but missed the mark. Ilv till time another bullet from his revolver sued after another fellow that dodged out of the cenurway, nut It plowed Into tne fence Instead of tho man.

Another man had gotten awuy over the back fence.

The boy was at work In the field yesterday, engugd In hoeing cabbage. Herbert's progress at work evidently was not fast enough for his father, as tho latter requested that he work more hastily. The son, who Is possessed of quick temper, answered uiomothing to the effect that "he guessed he was working fast This reply frrl-tnted tho parent, who sternly admonished the lad with the throat of chastisement If he did not obey him.

she knew her friends would pull her Into the boat. The girls brought provisions for two days and Inst night occupied a friends' summer cottage on the bathing beach here.

NEW GRAND STREET BRIDGE. Work on It Is Progressing to Comple tion Greatly Desired. MASPETH. Aug. 15.

Work nnnears to he slowly but favoruuly progressing on the new onugeovcr newiown creeK, at uranu street, between Maspeth and the old Wllllumsburgh section of Brooklyn. Many men and several derricks are working on Its Btone founda tions. A big dredger deepening the creek channel. At the time of building of Grand street, in 1875, a bridge wus constructed. Years later It was removed, and a new one DUIlt.

it cose iu.im. un August 27, of lust year. It was closed to public traffic. On August 7, a contract was made with a bridge builder to erect a new one for 173.S79.0O. The Municipal Assembly and Mayor Van Wyck approved of its reconstruction June 8, 1S(W.

According to an of- ncini report "tne worg is progressing ralrly well, and It Is expected that the contractor will be nblc to complete It within the time limited In his contract, and if no accident prevents It should be finished in the course of 1901." Meanwhile grass is growing In the pavement of one of the leading thoroughfares from Brooklyn to Maspeth. Maspeth Heights, Wlnfleld, Newtown vlllngo, Klm-hiiMt, Corona, Flushing and beyond. It will be one of the Important routes to the New Kast River Bridge. Storekeepers and others western part of Maspeth and old Wllllumsburgh are complaining of dull business since the bridge closed to public traffic and are more than anxious to have It completed. The Grand street trolley line of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company Is running through the Metropolitan part of Maspeth and thence by Metropolitan avenue to the Brooklvn ferries.

Motormen nnd enn. ductorsjsn the trolley cars likewise desire that the new structure be speedily finished, as they have to use extra precautions nnd unnK meir earn 10 at run stop oetore crossing the three grade crossings of the Long Island Railroad, tracks in the Metropolitan part of Maspeth. On their old route there are no grade crossings, as they pass under the steam road trestle near High street, in the Melvlna part of Maspeth. Maspeth people are finding" fault with the officials for removing the former structure, as it was built but a few years ago and appeared to be In good condition and cost old Queens County iiia.OOO. An official report implies that the old one, although comparatively new, was not built to carry the large Increase In traffic since Its construction, and that It was only a matter of a short time before the city would have to build a new one.

Yearly, fiubllc travel Is largely Increasing. Electric-ty will turn the swinging roadway Instead of hand power, thereby gaining time. The new bridge will give a wider passage to vessels; this also will be an Improvement over the former structure. OBITUARY. BABYLON, Aug.
