Rlverhead Citizens Veto to Build fMKH) dehaelheuse A decidedly lively school meeting was held at the ltiverhead echoolbouee Monday evening, one in whioh progressiveness was arrayed against old-fashioned, close-fisted ideas. Some tune ago it was deoided that the primary department of the sohool was too much crowded either for the mental or physical development of the children. No opposition of any account was made to a resolution to build an addition to this department, and such a resolution was passed at the regular school meeting. 1 At that time there were those present who favored tbe abandonment of tbe old school altogether end the building of a new and modern sohoolhouse embracing sufficient room to meet the probable demantRof the district for years to oome This sentiment grew as It was disenssed and tha especial meeting which was held Monday evening was ailed for the express purpose of voting on this question. Ibose who were opposed to this Dlan, and there were many mi the ground that tbe increase of taxation would be burdensome, bestined themselves? and when tbe fathers of the movement aimed at the eohoolhouse they were chagrinedto note the presence of so unfavorable an element to an extent which promised the eternal swamping of the resolution.

The leaders bald a hurried consultation and recognized the fact that they too must hustle. Every frtand of the movement who could be seen wm burned to the tobool, and it looked as Aboogh things stood about even when tha Mating was called to order. 'Ihe old-fashioned element suooecdui in electing Edward Wells Chairman, and George T. Reeve, acted os It was natural that Counselor Benjamin who had heretofore expressed himself as favorable-4o the improvement, championed the muse of the opposition. It was he whe had nominated Air Wells for Chairman, and be who was doing the talking against the appropriation of f25, 000 for tbe new building, i Judge Stack pole argued for the progressive side of the house aud accused Mr.

Benjamin of being the paid attorney of tbe opposition lhi Mr. Benjamin did not deny. Mulford Moore and John TayloV spoke against the resolution. They pictured vividly the distress which would be the outcome of such an action. Ihe tax collector would be the most frequent visitor at tue homes of the poor, and in their desperation the homestead would be mortgaged and eventually sold, in order that the children might study in a fancy schoolbouse.

Judge Stackpole ridiculed these ideafc and pave somo figures to show that the increase in taxation would not be so overwhelming after all. llie question was lor, and of the 158 votes cast 80 were for and 78 againat the resolution. It waa 11 o'clock before the vote was counted, and a motion to adtonru was earned. Ihe adjourned meeting will 1)6 held next Monday evening when it la proposed to appoint an advisory committee to act in conjunction with the Board of Education in the erection of a new bmldmg. It is feared that the old-fashioned element may seek to4pen the question again at tbe next meeting and both aides will tarn out in their full strength at the ooming meeting.

J. JB, BAIR Rt CAN NOW BUILD TUB BLACRWRLV9 ISLAND BRIDGE. The Old Gentleman Receiving Congratulations on tbe Pnssnge of the Dill A Story of Perseverance Well Re wanted Something About tbe Proposed Bridge. Dr. Rainey, who after eighteon years of unremitting effort has finally gamed his goal and got tbs State's permission to bmld his fsmons Blackwells Island bridge, is the recipient of congratulations in showers from every point of the compass.

For msny years the doctor was resident of Long Island City, but of late years bos lived In New York during the winter season. His old mansion and surrounding (grounds the Ravenswood section of the city are still attractive snd form noble relio of the old-time grandeur of the place, when twenty years or so ago the shore front of Long Island facing Blackwell's Island was beautiful and comprised a chain of fine summer residences of rich and oultured New Yorkers. It was in 1875 that the doctor first began his agitation for the establishment of a bridge to cross the East River to oonnect New York and Long Islaud. Its ceutral point, where a big abutment was to support it in the middle, was over BlookweU's Island, hence its being known then and thereof tor os the Blackwell's Island Bridge. Each successive Legislature, year by year, has had the bill before it for consideration, end each year's close found the doctor defeated in hts effort to make the matter a reality.

Two years ago the doctor came nearer tbe realization of his hopes than he ever had before. Through the valuable efforts of tbe Hon. Henry C. Johnson, of Long Islnnd City, who wns thon iu the Assembly, the bill went through both Senate and Assembly and went to the Governor, a point never reached before in the doctor's long battle. Now everything seemed rose-colored and the doctors spirits were high, bat Gov.

Hill cruelly dashed the old gentleman's hopes by not siguing. He claimed that there were some objectionable features. Taking fresh heart, the doctor redrafted the bill to meet the Governors views and again Henry C. Johnson went to the front as the bill's champion. Again he got it through both houses ahd onoe more it went to Gov.

Hill, who onoe more defeated tbe doctor's faithful project and hopes by a fresh refusal to sign it. YVUh seemingly superhuman faith and oonroge the sturdy old gentleman tried again this year, and at 1ut Btauds in the happy and far more than grateful position of seeing his life ambition realized and the bill a law. There are clauses la the bill that seem omiuous to the doctors friends who hoped that the fisht might be won without any entangling grip upon it by the politicians. But it was necessary to its passage that, among other things, Pablio Works Commissioner Gilroy should hsve the naming of the point where it should connect with New York and have a say in the looatou of the New York approaches. This is a dangerous power if from any o-tuse, innooeut or otherwise, he should choose to be ugly.

The bridge as proposed will be a grand one and fully equal in maguificenoe to the present Brooxlyn Bridge and in some points superior. For example, it will aooommodate railroad trains in addition to driveways and footpaths. It will oonnect Long Islaud with New York iu the vicinity of the Grand Central Depot, couuect with all the elevated roads aud beyond all doubt prove tbe greatest factor in the immediate development of Long Island in general and Long Islnnd City in particular thatooald possibly beimngintd or evolved. It will reach Lonr Island City somewhere between Hunter avenue and Broadway, just where oonnot now be decided until toe New York side is settled upon, but it is probable that Just about the Hunter avenue section will be the point, as there is high around this point, making an admirable approach supplied by nature. Ihe very fact oi the mere possibility of this point being selected has caused real estate in the viciuity to take a pheuomeual Jump in value, and to-day a twenty-five foot lot oould uot be bought for lea than tan tunes its value of two weeks ago.

In fact, just now no land holden in th section care to sell at any price Tins bridge will do even more for upper Long Island than the present bridge has done for Brooklyn. It is a stipulation that the work of oonstruo-Uon must begin on or before March 8, or ten month heuca. Tne Jwdge will Et ereoted entirely by private enterprise and entail no expense uppn either Long Island or New Yorx. It estimated that it will require from tnree to four years to complete it aud its eoat will not be far from 215,000,000. The doctor himself a an interesting personage.

He has a noble faoe, in whioh benev-olenoe, gentleness, and at the same time firmness, is fully apparent. The doctor is tall and slight, with snowy hair and muv tache, blue eyte and florid complexion. His earnest manner and quiet, unassuming ways have won him many close and sympathetic fnenda, who rejoice in hie fluid victory. Throughout his long straggle the gallant old fighter has been sustained, inspired and encouraged by his noble wifew SUB NIGUT OWLS BOWL.

A caso iu which Babylon society people have always taken a keen interest, that of Capt. Smith Oakley Against btephen C. Duryee has sgiuu been postponed. Dnryea is charged with the seduction of Oakley's daughter, belle of the village. The oase was to have been tried year ago but was postponed until the fall, when it was again pat off until the present term of court.

Now it is off again and the tenoral feeling is that the case will never come to trial. Miss Oakley has a daughter over a year old. Both she and Duryea were society leader and the case necessarily occasioned a great deal of Irik aud division of oouuon as to the merits of the action. Enterprising Young People.

Some of (he Desntlf Whieh Visitor Admire and Drlof Mention of the More Prominent Villagers Feature Whioh Kecontmeod It to People From the City. What an interesting place Stony Brook. Have you ever vulted it No! then you want to do so some time daring the next few months, A trip through the village will disclose sights that you never supposed donld be seen on Long Island, and will also impress everlastingly pleasant memories on you.

Stony Brook is reached by taking a train on the Long Island Railroad from Brooklyn or Long Island City and ndmg about fifty-eight miles on the Port Jefferson Branch. There is nothing monotonous about the scenery which stretches out before you in the of its summer attire, and consequently as yon speed along the Journey is exceedingly pleasant instead of tedious and tiresome. On arrival at the station a comfortable looking stage drawn by a stylish looking team driven by Waiter B. Sherry is on hand to convey those who so desire into the village for a nominal sum. It is about a one-mile nde, and if the occupants of the stage happen to be strangers to the village the chances are that they will after their first view desire to explore further in other directions.

Mr Sherry, the driver before mentioned, is affable and gentle, the same as all country residents, and possessed of unlimited information about Stony Brook and its inhabitant He can recall incidents of an exciting aud thrilling kind aa well as relate traditions which have been handed down from generations in existence decades ago lbese and other things tend tomake the nde agreeable. 'ihe first sight that particularly attracts attention uu entiling the village is tne handsome residence and beautiful grounds surrounding it of Mr. William Shipman, a well-known and respected resident of the place. Neat cottages line both sides of the road and a broad view of Long Island Sound in the distance is furnished while passing the Methodist Church and the delightful home and grounds of Jeremiah Darling. Mr.

Darling is a mau who has traveled over the Long Island Railroad between Stony Brook and Long Island City twice a day to his business in New York for years He has also endeared himself to Stony Brook people for his generosity and Lis wide awake interest in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the community. ihe stores of A. H. Mills, R. H.

Smith and Messrs Topping Co. Are close by. stocked with every commodity Mr. Daniel Sherry, Y. Bayles, Ralph Sam ml.

D. T. Bay tie. Postmaster Capt. David itayno are other gentlemen whose bnsiness interests are large and who have aided in building the village up to its present prominence.

Mr. D. Bayles is especially well known. He engaged as a snip builder, but manages to find enough spare time to devote to politics He is an active worker aud has the confidence and esteem of a large constituency. He has held several offices in tbe town, in all of which he has given entire satisfaction.

Stony Brook is in many respects peculiarly situated. It nestles among hilti on both lies and lies along the shore of Long bound; affording from these hilltops admirable views of the surrounding country and the Connecticut hills in the distance. It is also a spot preferred by New York bmineis men, who find in its recesses an opportunity to enjoy life iu earnest After a year of bustle and excitement in tbe city the quiet and calm whioh surrounds certain portions of the town, particularly near the Soand, is found to be a diversion that they greatly appreciate. For that reason it is not surprising, then, that the registers of the vaiious hotels are filled every suu.mer with the names of prominent New York and Brooklyn reaideuto, to say nothing of the many who own private cottages and nice little summer homes wittnn its boundaries. 1 ime and again have artists who are constantly in search of a chance to paiut worthy picture visited points along the shoie of the Bound and takeu advantage of the natural beauties of the place.

Every season familiar faces are seen, augmented by new ones, all anxious to spend the time allotted them for pleasure in painting either on their memories or cuivos the soeues which a trip to the tranquil water front lays Open before (hem.

The first onveution of the Chrinfcian Eu-k deavor Union of Queens nod Suffolk Coan-lies, held at Jarauioa yesterday, iu tbe Presbyterian Church, and briefly reported In the Times last evening, was a conspicuous success viewed from any standpoint. The leadtn sky which rendered the early morning hours mnrky ohanged to cerulean hue and tbe sun's genial rays made glad the hearts of hundreds whose objective point was JamafcA The ladies, attired in pretty spring eoatnihcfi were in tbe majority and the zeal which they manifested in tbe work was worthy of emulation on the part of the minority. One single instance will serve to show the ecaroity of gentlemen at the convention. It occurred after the collation following the afternoon session sud was found In the natty Diatriot Attorney of Queens County, attired in a neatly fitting suit of pearl gray, noting as chaperone for seven young ladies. The morning session was in the lecture room and tbe afternoou and evening ses- sioua in the church.

A register wns kept of the attendance and it footed up 587, divided as follows: Queens Couuty, 510; Suffolk County, 53; Kings County, A There was a largo number of clergymen preeeut. i The music was under the direction of S. 6. Fitcbett. with Grant S.

Moore, cornotist, and Prof. Bialla, organist The morning session, as stated yesterday, comprised a song service, led by Mr. Fitcbett; devotional exercises, the Rev. J. B.

Connell, leader; address of welcome, the Rev. J. Howard Hobbs; response, the Rev. A.E Colton. Conference meetings concerning methods of committee work followed the benediction.

The Lookout Committee was led by Miss Kate Stoffel, of Hempstead; prayer Meeting Committee, Mias Sara May-bee, Huntington; Social Committee, Mrs. Come E. Burtis, Jamaica; Missionary Com-- mittee, Miss Groce Edwards, Boyviile. Grumblers aud Wall Flowers, their Mission, was the subject of an address at the morning session by the Rev. J.

A. Davis, of Hompetead. Among other things Mr. Davis said: Every one has a mission. Some will any, How about misers and lazy fellows hove a mission, too.

They are like the buoys and danger signals, warning peo pie not to become like them. The grumbler, unlike the poet, is not born so. He is grown, not made. God never made a grumbler. God never made whisky.

He mode gool corn, and man spoiled it by turmug it into whisky. The grumbler is a failure of something else. He would be a cntio. He croak with the voice of a raven. He tells of defects but offers no remedy.

He destroys the spirituality of home, criticises the pledge, and says it makes perjurers, Hisimwion the society is to worry the President and aunoy the Treasurer and make everybody miserable. He makes the world unhappy and makes us all wish for heaven. Bat the grumbler has a good mission, for he draws os all more closely together. He is like a lightning rod Acting the other way. He draws evil influences from us to himself.

But he does the best he con, like the pianist out West, who, when he was performing at a ooncert, had a placard on his back reading, Don't shoot the pianist; he's doing the best- he We Should pity the grumbler rather than hold in oontempt" As to the wall flower, maaid Mr.Dnvis,his mission is simply to do nothing to sit still and do nothing; if placed upon a committee to decline to serve. He is not altogether bad nor altogether good. To him no duties 7 are binding. He feele that he is under no obligation to do anything. Be throws on others the burdens he himself should bear.

The speaker claimed, however, that the wall flower is oonstaut ana Ins silent prayer is as effectnal as the petition of the more aggree- Jive. Mr. Davis in closing said: You can earn lessons from the wall flower, but never beoome one yourself." A discussion upon the topio followed the "ISfaflernoon session," presided over Elmer E. Bergen, President of the Queens County Union, began at 2:15 with devotional exercises conducted by the Rev. Howard W.

Ennis, of Newtown. At a business meeting whieh followed resolutions were adopted petitioning the State World's Fair Commit- sioners to use their endeavors to have the Columbian Exposition closed on Sunday.

Cruikshank, had some interesting features. President Elmer Bergen opened the evening meetiug at 7 85. A praise service, coudooted by Mr. Fiteheti, was first in order; then Mr. A M.

Bwezey. of Patohogue, led devotional exercises. After this there wns a consecration servioe led by W. G. Hooplo, of Brooklyn, at which short testimonies ware given.

Alice May Soudder, of Jersey City, a well-known contributor to the Golden Rule, was then introduced. Her subject was Junior Work," a topio in wbioh she seemed thoroughly versed. She snid that in a short decade the Christian Endeavor membership had grown to a million, and remnrked that in how much lets time would the seoond million be added She could not help think-, ing how niauy railroad care it would take to cany all the Christian Endeavorers in the land. How long wonld the train be How far would it stretch Across the country? Now, oouple to your train a oar or two of juniors. Get the children In societies.

A child growing in graoe she likened unto thA culture of tbe wild roea. Size is not a necessity in Christian work. There is man oat West, said the speaker, who is a junior endeavor crank. Bat you need not go out West to see him, as you can see one right here, I em one. The Sunday eobooi boy who spends bis Sunday sohool money for candy is a juvenile fiend, and when he reaches manhood will be looking ont through prison bars.

I have studied buu- dreds of children. They are to me wbat the heavens are to the astronomer or the earth to the botanist. Vice begins early. There are hundreds of men and women ruined before they are 12 years old. Ought not these demoralizing Influences to be checked It is better to prevent smallpox than to cure it.

Adult Christian Endeavor work it the grand- eat thing in the world except junior Christian Endeavor work. Children Should be independently trained. Teaching them in a body does not meet the requirement. Different children require different methods. An attractive form of study should be Adopted." Continuing her remarks, the speaker said that In Jersey City they shew the children familiar objeota referred tom the Bible reading, and she prodooed some of them for the edinoationot the audience.

Tbe devil is a roaring bon." and a small toy bon was produced. Wine is a mocker," and the old fake glass of wine which appears so natural as to sometimes deceive people was held up. Be not as the horse and mule," and toy representations of these animals were produced. A light unto your feet," and a candle was held up; not having a match the speaker did not light it. Proceeding aha gave some hint as to the religious instruction of ohildren.

You all know that old hymn. I want to be an angeL she said. Well, there was once a Rule fellow that from singing that hymn so longed to be an angel that every night on Eoing to bed be would feel under hie shoulder lades to see if a pair of wings were starting. Now it was wrong it was wicked to teach that ehild anything of the kind. He oould never be an angel though be was in heaven million rears, because an angel must be a Inleas being.

The epeakar closed her address by submitting to the tneetine a set of resolutions declaring that juvenile societies should be founded and fostered and that everything poanible slyrald be done to promote their welfare. The resolutions were adopted. The Rev. Dr. B.

The Queens County Supervisors Select Him to Preside fur tbe Tear. At the meetiug of tbe Board of Supervisors held yeeterdny at Barnum Islnnd Supervisor F. W. Duutou was chosen Chair-ninu of the board. He returned thanks for the honor in these words Ithaukyou exceedingly for this display of your confidence aud iny feelings are intensified by the unanimity of action which has resulted lu making me your presiding officer, a unauimity seldom witnessed any publio body.

The board Is now made np of business men who freely realize the importance of that old saying, Time is money, and we are sent here by constituents quite willing that it should be acted upon as we assemble to transact the publio business It will be my aim, while nt oil times securing your careful consideration of important matters, to so expedite routine business that valuable time may not be unnecessarily taken np with tnffiug affairs. Long Island is tbe greatest island and Queens the greatest county of any in the world to-djy and they have as yet hardly been scratched in tbe process of development. Deetined as they are to be gndlroned with competing lines of railroad, cheaply and rapidly osrrying their great future population, and flanked oa either Side by unequaled water facilities, which will furnish communication with tbe world, they are entitled to the oonfidenoe of officials charged with the duties of legislation concerning them and should be haudled in that brood gauged manner so essential to the eomplete success of every good thing. To keep paoe with tbe requirements of the day and of constituents to whom we are indebted for the position we occupy we shonld be constantly on the alert to disoover methods by which onr whole county may strido rapidly forward in tbe progressive trick, rather than how the special town we represent may selffshly save a few dollars at an expense of thousands in material wealth, so that when our labors for tbe year have ended we may experience that sense of satisfaction Attainable only through knowledge of accomplishments. That thia boird will not have cause to regret the look of such knowledge is my vory decided impression.

Youngs' letter the Herald says The letter is a personal attack on tbe gentleman to whom it is addressed, while endeavors to show theft the Hon. William J. Youngs is bo of ftbe most innocent and unselfish politicians thnft ever pat np a job. The Herald does not feel called upon to de-leud the Governor agaiust tne mosquito-like thrusts of his puny adversary. He has a national reputation for honesty, probity and ability.

High honors have been conferred upon him by tbe Federal Government, and in every office of trust filled by him lie has discharge i its duties with signal ability. Gov. McCormick is not a boss, as the Hon. William J. Youngs charges him with being, but he despises crookedness iu Spldios end will not countenance it.

rhaft i why the Governor and the hou. William J. Youngs do not get along well together. But we are not going to assail Mr. Youugs.

We are on tbo eve of a great Republican revival and we want him to ooine forward and take one of the front seats reserved for repentant sinners, for do not the blessed Scriptures tell ns that There is more joy in heaven over one sinner that re-penteth than over ninety and nine just persons which need no Here is Mr. Youngs greatest end grandest opportunity.

Jewell, both of St James. Both had licenses last year, at did Charles F. Jsom. There were no requirements for three hotels at St James, the board thought, and Jaoin was the best calculated to give satisfaction. His license was therefore granted to the exclusion of the others.

John Maok, who applied for a lioeuse at King's Park, was also refused. With these exceptions the usual number of applications were favorably considered. NEAT SCHEMING. Jack Successfully Planned to Escape from Blverhad Jail. Jock Nest, a prisoner at Rivcrhead Jail, bos made his escape.
