ISLAND HEWS. THE BROOKLYN TIMES. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1903. LONG ISLAND NEWS. 10 SPITE FENCE AT AMITYVTLLE.

BAITING HOLLOWS B001C SOUTH SHORE TROLLEY CO. BAD RAIL BO AD CONDITIONS. i SENTIMENT STRONGLY IN fllflflll Ill II RED WHEN UI Of HI Differences Between Hiss Sammls and Collector Ooslin. AMITYVILLE, L. June 8.

Because her neighbor, Village Collector John Goslln, planted corn on both sides of her handsome new residence, Miss Ella Sammls, one of the village milliners, has caused to be erected a spite fence between the two places. The fence Is about seven feet high, but occasionally a board points considerably higher, and all are of the roughest material that oan be Imagined, and present a most unsightly appearance. Miss Sammls owns property on Waverly avenue, while Goshn's place Is on Ocean avenue. Both of the parties are desirous of renting their property to summer tenants. Gosiin's place Is rented, and Miss Sammls' Is not.

The property of the milliner extends back some four hundred feet, and the board fence has been built along that portion which abuts the Goslln place. Goslln this spring hired two vacant lots on either side of Miss Sammls' place, and planted It with corn. Miss Sammls regarded the growing of corn on both sides of her pretty new villa as an Injury to her property, and told Uoslln so. The differences were not adjusted, and Miss Sammls. with the aid ot a carpenter, began the work of erecting the fence.

Goslln, she says, then agreed to pull up the corn. If the fence was taken down. Miss Sammls says she agreed to the compromise and took the fence down, but contends that Goslln not only did not pull up his corn, but went to work and replanted the hills that did not come up. Miss Sammls, when she saw Goslln do this, and on learning, as she contends, that it was the tallest Western corn on the market, lost no time in having the fence put back. "Yes.

I helped build it myself, and It Is there to stay unless Goslln pays me about 46 I wish It was twenty feet high, and I don't know but that it wlir be," said Miss Sammls, In reply to queries put to her by a Brooklyn Times man at her place of business yesterday, and In order to give her remarks more emphasis the speaker would bite off the thread with which she was trimming one of the summer girls' hats with such a vengeance that there was no doubt left In her listener's mind as to her meaning what she said. Miss Sammls was not at all cast down over the propect of the corn being any In-Jury to her property, and declared that If she did not rent her place she could live In It. Her cottage Is one of the prettiest In that section, and was built out of her savings. Miss Sammls Is atxiut 80 years of age. and has resided here for several years.

Collector Goslln was not at home when a Brooklyn Times man called, but his mother, who resides next door, smiled when the fence was spoken of. She said there had been some minor differences between the families over some chickens and a dog, but nothing serious, but if they were going to quarrel, she supposed two could play at the game. Ocean avenue, on which the fence fronts, Is the swell artery to the bay, and the avenue on which all of the summer residents have cottages, and hence the fence war Is causing no end of comment. NO TINKERING WITH KING HOUSE Carnegie Library Will Not Be Tacked on the Old Mansion. JAMAICA.

L. June 3. The proposal to build an addition to the King manor house. In King Park for a Carnegie Library, against which the most formidable opposition developed, is nipped In the bud. Borough President Cassldy and Mr.

Fornes. President of the Board of Aldermen, to whom the selection of a site was entrusted, reckoned without their host when they proposed to tack it on to the old King Mansion. They found It necessary to get the concurrence of Park Commissioner Young. King Park, In which the manor house Is situnted, being city property, and under the control of the Park Department, before any addition could be made to the building, and Commissioner Young, after carefully considering the matter, has refused to give his consent. Counselor A.

T. Brlggs. who has acted for the city In the matter of recommending library sites, is now looking up other sites offered In Jamaica. Upon his recommendation of a number of available sites there will probably be a public hearing on the matter before final selection will be made. There seems to be some objection to Fulton street, on the ground that it Is too noisy for library purposes, especially since the advent of elevated electric trains.

It Is thought a site may be seleceted north of Fulton street. CONVENTION OP MUSICIANS. Long Islanders Will Take Part In a Meeting in Troy. HUNTINGTON, L. June considerable number of Long Island people are ex- Sected to take part In the New York State luslc Teachers' Convention, at Troy, the latter part of this month.

Miss A. V. Sel-leck, of this place, an ofTicer of the association. Is assisting In every way possible to make the convention a success and to have Long Island well represented. To a representative of the Brooklyn Times she said: "A better equipped city than Troy, N.

for the convention cannot well be Imagined. First. It has a concert hall that Is second to none In the country; second, the hall contains a beautifully toned grand organ that makes It unnecessary to have meetings where an organ is needed in churches; third, the hotel accommodations are adequate, and. fourth. It Is the liveliest musical city of Its size in the country.

In fact, the city is always prepared and could handle the convention at a moment's notice If need be. The city Is Intensely musical and supports several superb musical organizations and these In turn will assist and support the coming convention so well that failure Is not to be thought of In connection with the meeting. From all reports the convention, on June 28. 24 and 25, will be the most successful In the history of the association. "All railroads give a rate of one and a third fare for the round trip."

Chapln. A Correspondent Severely Criticises Long Island Road. To ths Editor of tha Erooklrn Times: SIR: Thousands of Indignant Long Islanders are up in arms against the Long Island Railroad. Time and again they have complained to the officials ot the road about the disgraceful conditions existing at the Thirty-fourth street side of the ferry to Long Island City, but in no case have the officials so much aa promised to relieve them. On the Thirty-fourth street side there are two passages Into the stuffy little ferry house, which in the first place cannot accommodate seventy-five people comfortably.

There are four windows at which tickets can be sold, but it would be too expensive for the corporation to employ so many men to sell tickets, even if It did ameliorate the conditions somewhat. Only one passage is open the thousands of commuters. The other side Is barred up. The result Is that but a few people can get through at a time, and the crowd of persons waiting to buy tickets each night extends back half a block. This goes on night after night, and nothing will induce the officials to open the other passage.

At the "ticket" office opposite the ferry house only railroad tickets are sold, and a person not having tickets Is forced to get In the throng, and be delayed sometime! for half an hour. From this ticket office passengers go right out on the slip and do not have to go through the ferry house. If ferry tickets were sold here, the crowded conditions In the stuffy ferry house would be somewhat relieved. Tn the morning the corporation runs the boats from Long Island City to New York Just when it suits their fancy. I have seen them time and again hold hundreds of people there for twenty minutes at a time, when their schedule calls for a boat every five minutes during the rush hours.

It is all very well for the railroad people to hold up the workingmen, for in the eyes of a corporation, what do they amount to anyway? But the working people know what it means to be held up for even ten minutes, it means that many of them will be docked an hour's pay for every five minutes late. This new ferry house they are working on now will not be finished for a year possibly. Tn the meantime must the people of Long Island submit to this outrageous condition of affairs? Respectfully, F. T. M.

L. T. Iff ANN WANTS A DIVORCE. Claim Made on Statutory Grounds Against Nellie Etta Mann. FRBEPORT, I June 3.

The papers for an action in the Supreme Court for an absolute divorce on statutory grounds have been served upon Mrs. Nellie Etta Mann by Counselor Harry G. Clock, by the direction of her husband. Luther J. Mann, of Merrick, and she has days to die her answer.

Mr. and Mrs. Mann were married at Mattltuck In 1898, and ever since they resided at Merrick. They have no children. Mann was arrested some time ago upon the complaint of Achillle Blratl.

a prominent restaurant keeper, at 2.100 Third avenue, who has a summer residence at Merrick, near the famous Merrick camp grounds, charging her with being a disorderly person, and with keeping a disorderly hcuse, near the camp grounds. The hearing was held before Justice Tatem. on Saturday, May 23, when, for lack of evidence, the complaint was dismissed. Mr. Mann had resided with his wife until up to a short time before her arrest, when he left her, on account of her actions, and on information given him: and since the complaint was dismissed he instructed Counselor Clock to bring the proceedings for the divorce as stated, and the papers in the case were served upon her several days ago.

The proceedings promise to develop some very peculiar and unprintable features. NEWTOWN COUNCIL, R. A. Realizes 2,600 from Their Recent Bazaar. ELMHDR8T.

June -Babylon is to have an excise war. or at least most ae-termlned attempt Is to be made to Prevent Alonzo Matthias, former Washington Hotel, from oKr'J hostelry on Railroad avenue. Yesterday, In response to an appeal made here, representatives of the State Excise Department came to Babylon and went over the irround. Measurements were made and the case gone Into carefully. The agents said I no turther action could be taken until after Matthias had gone Into business formally.

The question. It seems, hinges on the matter as to what constitutes a business place or a residence. Matthias before purchasing the property, for which he paid $10,000 se-cureS the advice of the most layers in the county, who advised him to go ahead, and consummate the sale, apply for his license, and that there was no law to prevent him from conducting the place. The property, which was formerly the residence of ex-Village Trustee Bunce, located on Railroad avenue, opposite the southeast entrance to the depot grounds, and Is con-ceded to be an ideal spot for a commerclal hotel. Within the prescribed 200 feet of the property are the residences of village Treasurer T.

Matthias' counsels contention Is all that is necessary. Pastor John D.

He believes the temperance people will win out. Matthias has Invested all he has In the property, and is now engaged In malting extensive additions to the property, and If the temperance people should win, it would practically ruin him, and conservative people who have long regarded a first-class commercial house as a necessity In that portion of the village, hope that the courts Mm He hns already filed his application, and will be ready to open within a snort time.

The meeting appointed A. D. Foster as a committee empowered to appoint a final committee, whose duty shall be to spend this week In conferring with as many Interested Sayvllle residents as possible, with a view of ascertaining as to where the majority of Sayvllle people want said public dock and landing located, there being two locations talked of. one at the foot of Candee avenue, on the open bay front, the other on Brown's River, and there are already offered strong arguments for and against both locations, some preferring the bay front as a landing, claiming that It will be more convenient for party boats and yachts, and an attraction to city-boarders as a promenade. The opposition to this location contend that no dock could be put up In the open bay for double the amount of the appropriation, such as would withstand a run of heavy Ice.

and, also, that heavily laden vessels could not he docked at all. unless the proposed pier was extended, at an enormous expense, far out Into the bay. which, even then, would not admit of vessels laying to It during very rough weather. Brown's River is already an excellent harbor for hundreds of vessels at a time, and that a public dock end landing Is all that is necessary to make that harbor a perfect freight depot with ample room for storehouses and a rendezvous for every class of vessel, and. too, during all kinds of weather.

A publlo meeting will soon be called to obtain the people's final decision in the matter of Sayvllle's public dock and landing, and the men who have been appointed as a committee to bring about ,1 A 1-1 TTnat-i. Tlalnh mis enu ure. mkubio. 1 1 Green, I. C.

Only Two Speakers Oppose Before Highway Commissioners. HEARING AT ROSLYN YESTERDAY The People Seem to Be Almost Unanimous In Their Demand for the Road from Mineola to Port Washington. ROSLYN, L.

Juna 3. The application of the Mineola, Roslyn and Port Washington Traction Company tor a franchise over Main street, In Roslyn, and the highway from Baylls' corner to Third avenue, known as the shore road, In Port Washington, was given a hearing before the Board of Commissioners of Highways of North Hempstead, at the Mansion House Hall, in this village, yesterday afternoon, and again it was demonstrated to the authorities that a large percentage of the people in the town are in favor of the trolley. Commissioners Hehn and Pearsall heard the argument and afterwards reserved their decision In the matter. William H. Haydock was the first speaker, and his remarks were In opposition to the trolley being allowed on the Middle Neck road.

He said that few of the people In Port Wsahlngton found It necessary to go to the county seat more often than once a week, excepting during court time, when the trolley would be a convenience to the jurors from that village. William M. Hyde replied to Mr. Haydock and said that he (Haydock) lived from two to three miles from the Middle Neck road, and would not be affected by the trolley Mr. Haydock, the speaker said, was not In a position to Judge of the needs of Port Washington, as he was seldom a visitor to that village.

Ninety-nine per cent, of the people were In favor or the trolley, and wanted to see it In operation: if the highways were too narrow, they should be widened, Instead of forcing the trolley to build a line over the tree tops. Lorenzo B. Smull, of Port Washington, told the Commissioners that while he did not approve of the trolley being operated along the shore road in front of his residence, he was not and would not oppose the project, because he thought individual preferences should give way to such an Important Improvement, which was certain to be of great benefit to the community at large. He hoped the would grant the franchise. It was shown that the consent of nearly all the property owners between Baylls' corner and Third avenue had been secured for the building of the road on that highway.

Thomas W. Wlllets addressed the Commissioners against the running of the road along Middle Neck road, which he claimed was too narrow, and could not be widened without destroying many of the shade trees. He believed the property owners should get together and provide a right of way for the trolley parallel with the Middle Neck road, and was certain that ther could be Induced to do so. Mr. Wlllets Sjld he was heartily In favor of the trolley, but did not believe that the company should be allowed to build on the Middle Neck road.

Thomas E. Webb and Jeremiah O'Brien, of Port Washington, spoke In support of the application, and Justice Allen, of the same village, told the Commissioners that If the question of the trolley on the highways was again submitted to the people, the majority In favor would be much larger than it was at the special election held last September. There was a stronger sentiment In favor of the road now than there was nt the time of the election. Dr. P.

D. Leys.of Roslyn, spoke of the march of time, and the necessity for keeping up with It. The trolley was a necessity to the growth of the communities; It would Increase population and therefore bring more business to the several villages. When the people voted, the Doctor said, they must have taken Into consideration the fact that the trolley was to be constructed and operated along the In reply to a question from Samuel L. Hewlett.

Counselor MacElhlnney. for the company, said that the cars would take up about ten feet on the highway. There were several other speakers, all of whom were In favor of the proposed road, the only speakers against the project being Mr. Haydock and Mr. Wlllets, and their arguments being confined to their opposition to the use of Middle Neck road.

After hearing the argument the Commissioners announced that they would take the matter under consideration and announce their decision later.

Warrant Issued by Justice Griffin, Charging Indecency and Assault Accused Man Cannot Be Found Niece One of the Complainants. ISpeclnl to the Brooklyn Throe) CANOE PLACE, L. June little village has a big sensation. Three small school girls, not yet In their "teens," have formally charged Lawton Squires, age 45, with indecency and assault anil the accused man has fled to parts unknown. The parents of the children and other residents are Indignnnt at the outrage, as told by the girls and there is to-day considerable excitement here as a result of the disclosures.

Bessie Jackson, age 10. was the first one to make known the startling state of affairs. She was on a visit to Rlverhead Monday, with Mrs. Jennie Gordon Marlln. when she tolc the little daughter of Clifford Gordon how-she and other girls had been assaulted by Lawton Squires.

Mrs. Marlin, who keeps house for W. H. Jackson, the girl's father, heard the story and upon questioning the girl she told how Lawton Squires had enticed them into the woods by giving them candy and had there behaved in an Indecent manner. This happened on several occasions.

The other two girls were Ruth Squires, age 10. daughter of Ellis M. Squires, who is a brother of Lawton Squires, and Florence Warner, age 12, daughter of John T. Warner. The other two girls broke down when questioned and corroborated the story of the Jackson girl.

The indignant mothers, led bv Mrs. Marlln, started at once for Rlverhead. where the storv was related to Justice Qeorge A. Buckingham, of that village. Justice Buckingham did not refuse a warrant hut suggested that the case rightfully belonged to a Justice In Southampton town, and told the complainants that they should lose no time in laying the matter before Justice Marcus E.

Griffin, of Quogue. Late vesterday the parties appeared before Justice Griffin. The story, which is such that it cannot be printed here, was adduced in the form of depositions and a warrant was issued. The Squires girl, who Is a niece of the accused man, told the same story as the others. evening the warrant was delivered to Constable Eekford Jacobs, of Good Ground.

The officer immediately went In search of Lawton Squires, but the man had had several hours the start It was learned that the accused In some wav had a tip that he was to be arrested and Monday night he hastily packed his grip and departed. Before he went he was noticeably excited and told one resident that he was "going aoross the pond." It was stated that Squires was seen in Sag Harbor yesterday morning and the local officials believe that he took a boat at place for Connecticut. He carried away all his baggage. Lawton Squires was never married. He belonged to the Salvation Army for several years and seemed to take great delight in wearing his uniform about the streets.

He Is eccentric and was not a member of any of the lorn! social circles, although in family relationship he is well connected. CASE OF WILLIAM MTJLCA TTF.Y. Trial a Test of Strength. Between Police and Liquor Men. ELMHtTOST.

L. June 8. There is war on between the police of the Seventy-seventh Precinct. Newtown, and the saloon-keepers of the ward and the test of strength is to be made nsxt Saturday morning, when the case of Assemblyman Joseph Sullivan is tried before Magistrate Connorton. In the Flushing Police Court.

Sullivan' bartender. William Mulcahey was ar rested last Sunday, charged with a violation of the Kxcl- law. when he sold a drink to Detectives McOrattan and Collins, of Capt. Pendleton's staff. He served sandwiches with the drinks.

Sullivan Is the proprietor of the Village House In Corona He is one of the most prominent liquor dealers in the State. He Is President ot the Newtown Liquor Dealers' Association. First Vice President of the New York State Liquor Dealers' Association, and the last representative of the Long Island Clty-Newtown District iu the Assembly. While a member of the Assembly he was on the Excise Committee, an unusual honor for a first term man. particularly as he was a Democrat in a Republican house.

The Newtown association numbers aoo members. At least 175 of these are the proprietors ol places that desire to sell liquor on Sunday. The poiioe of this precinct have been very strict In the enforcement of the Excise law since Commissioner Greene issued his recent edict concerning the sale of sandwiches. The Newtown Association has decided to make test case of this one and get a court ruling upon the commissioner's order. If they ere not permitted to serve drinks with sandwiches there Is to be a lot of trouble for them.

Counselor John T. Robinson has been engaged to defend Mulcahey. THE ACTIVES OF LITTLE NECK. They Are Well Named, as Shown by Last Night's Record. LITTLE NECK.

L. Jnne 8. "Where Is that or. bagn man?" is the question that all the summer residents of this place, who live along the shore of Little Neck Bay are asking. Last year the garbage and ashes of the summer residents was collected at their own expense.

The contractor, however, has not seen fit to do any more than collect from a small section in the vicinity of the depot. Much annoyance has been caused on this account, and a petition has been signed, which will be sent to President Cassidy, asking that oonditlons be reuieaicu. A Fling at tha Motor Cars. JAMAICA.
