Word was recentl y received here that he was enjoying excellent health and having a delightful sojourn ill that lamous resort. Heart failure was the cause of his demise. He was about of \ years of age. and , we believe, a native of this village. Being possessed of amp le means, he was never engaged iu active business pursuits , although for man)\ years was interested with his father iu sugar p lantation s in Louisiana Some five years ag > he purchased the Charters p lace, on East JIaiu street, where he had since resided.He was very popular among his ass .ci ites—possess* ing a very companionable disposition— and the news of his sudden death has caused sincere mourning hero and else- wuere.

It was expzutr ed. even l.y those opposed to the op_ *n- ing of the new road and tbe closing of two oil ones , tha t Jiid gu Reeve would uphold the findings of tho com- mission which he hnd appointed to take the testimony in the ease , but the J ud ge has given all concerned a surprise b y re versing the finding of the com- mission and ordering a new hearing in the matter . The commission consisted of tho Messrs . Thomas Powell, Samuel P. Hil- dreth and Solomon Ketcham. Jr.. all of Amityville. and the hearings wero held at Huntington. At first there appeared to be no very irreat opposition to the p lans proposed b y the Messrs. Cue and Jennings , but after several sittings bv the commissi on a strong opposition asserted itself aud Ihe li g ht became bitter , and iiiauy of- fensive personalities characterized tbe testimony on both sides. Tbe opposition was based upon tho assumption that the gentlemen wisbingto make the im- provement were endeavoring to get control of the shore front, the privileges of which the peop le of tliat section bave always enjoyed . It was feared that tbe closing ol\ the two old hig hways was but the first step toward thu exclusion of tho public from the shore, and tseven.l in- terested property owners retained counsel to armie against the scheme be- fore the commission. There was some feeling because of che commission sitting at Huntington, and many who were opp ts-d to the closing of ihe roads refuse.! to go over to Hunting- ton lo give ' .heir testimony. S J much feeling b is been manifested in tbe in liter th.it Julgj R JOVO decided to re-open the case b y ordering another hearing. His op inion deals with the matter at considerable length and was not written until the Judge had made a visi t to the locality anil personally 111- sp. -ct- 'd the new road as well as the old ones. -Brooklvn Times.

EoiTOU S IOXM .:— As y. u always have tho columns of the S IONAU open to th_ > advoj acy of reforms, yoa wili permit me to otter same suggestions which may be practical, in regard to the otlice of Coroner iu this county. Thu inefficient manner of conducting the system at the present time, as re- gards one of the most important and essential feature.;, is worth y of careful thought, and perhaps some early leg is- lation in the matter. The sj stem as now operated we consider very erroneous ami far fro m practical—uot that tbe C 'roners elected are to blame.but, owing to ihe impracticability of the system. On account of tho Bmall iiiiiiil*i'i* of Coroners, and then* liability to be ab- sent in lime of need , tbe system is open to adverse criticism. When tbc deatli i-f somepjrson makes it necessary to call iu a Coronet* , it quite olten l.nppcns lhat lhe nearest olli- cial is away Irom bome. and then s une other one a Jong distance away has to . ... telephoned i<> . and it may be several h ur- - before a j.iry can be called and ,...* inquest begun. Mow if tbere could lie one Coroner elected for each village containing a certain nainbe. * of inhabit- ants, the difficult}- would be averted. Al the nine of lhe recent wreck at Quogue. we understand there was c ni- si, lerable dillic.ilty in getting a Coroner. The hol y of the C.ipMin of the ves-e l lay for several hours before an inquest could be held. Tl.is was not the lault of the officials, or of any of thi' parties interest ed. It was for the want of an adequate force of Co roners to make tbe syste n comp lete . We would like to hear fro m others iu regard lo this matter. Resp-etfullv. Vf . 11. Fosrnii. East Quogue.

P.EED Local Editor We were informed the otlier day. bya man whose word is beyond dispute, that that tbe cap ital is ready for a trolley road to run through lhe following towns: Starting at Oyster Bay. run throug h Glen Cove , E.ist Norwich, Jerich-. . Hieksville. Central Park , Babylon Farniingilalc -and Amityville. Thi s route is very thickly populated between the towns mentioned. Certainl y if a road throug h the WODils from Patchogue to the North Side would pay, this will more than do so. We paid Prof. Hannas ' school a visit last week, and were very much sur- prised b y the progress the children are making \ in their studies. We questioned several of the pup ils to test their general knowledge , and were struck by the in telligence disp layed. Pro f .
