Dr. Ry- lanee, officiated , assisted by Rev. Isaac Newton Phel ps , of Christ Church , West Islip. There was a largo attendance of relatives and family friends , a number of Babylon peop le being present. The interment was in the Marble Cemetery nn Second avenue. The death of M rs. Wagstaff , to which wo could onl y refer briefl y last week , remove s from this vicinity one' e)f its oldest anel most es- teemed residents—one who had been actively identified with ita social anel re- lig ions lifu for a long period , and who will be greatly . liieseel anel sincerely mourned. Mrs. Wt.g_ .tafl was a very charming woman , and had a . vide circle of friends . She had liveel in West Islip for al_.ut forty years, mnl her home , -• Talulah Farm, \ was one of the finest p laces on the entire South Siele. It was always the home of wealth , onltnre aii d generous hospitality, anel was a verit- able \ Liberty Hall \ to tho friends oi the owner. All who have partaken oi its hospitality recall witb p leasure happo hours spent beneath its roof tree and Intra witb keenest sorrow of tbe deHith of its kinell y and gracious mis- tress. Ure. Wagstaff was one of the founders of ChrUt ' s Episcopal Church , and up to the time of her death took an active interest in its spiritual and tem- poral welfare. She was of a gen- erous , charitable disposition , and gave liberally to those who needed her bounty. She wil! be greatly missed by the p _ >r. as well as by those who had no occasion to ask for pecuniary relief, but who aro dep rived of her eoe. -\e^ and companionship- Mrs. Wagstaff wns a native of New York City, anel was the daug hter of Cornelius dn Bois. Her husband, the late Alfred Wag-taff, M. D., was one e>f the first New York gen- tlemen to come to the Wert Isli p sec- tion and locate in what is now one of tbe most fashionable suburbs of New York. Mrs. Wagstaff was spared to see all her children married and happily settled in life and to enjoy the society of their children , into whose plans uud aiuuwments she entered fully. Her ' e was a typicall y graceful old age. Oc- cupy ing the grand old mansion in tbe midst of the lovel y grpnnds of which she was go fond , eurrouudfii) by ber children , grandchildren and fnenle , she passed her latar yeari in a calm , peaceful manner. When she felt so in- clined she traveled , and had within th* PMt ten or fifteen years visited Califor- nia Bavmral times aud penetrated to otber equall y remote reg ions. She was exceeding If fond ot domestic animals , and had many fine specimens of horses , dogs and cattle. Driving was a eottiea ot great p leasure to her , and she was a familiar fcgure on the principal drives. She was cordial in her treatment of everyone , and had , as we have said , a very wide circle of friends , all of whom siucMrel y mourn her demise , and ex- tend <u-ft«jpnceB of respectful sympathy to hei- faSaaSato j family.

William Dwight Tecse , Esej. , was asked to preside , and the proceedings were recorded by former Town Clerk Joseph A. Doug las. The matter was freely discussed in all its p hases , and , while some expressed doubts as to the feasibility of the un- dertaking, it was decided to make the effort—it being very properly held that if success did not follow, the South Side would at least be effectively adver- tised. It was voted to secure the co- operation of tbe ci tizens of adjoining villages , and Hon. John R. Reid , Rev. Walter Eodine Pimm and Jeremiah Robbins were appointed a committee to prepare resolutions to be offereil in the Senate and Assembl y by Senator Higbie and Assembl yman Burr , setting forth the advantages of Fire Island Beach as a location for the camp. A citizen ' s committee, whose duty it shall be to raise necessary funds and do such other work as may be required to further the undertaking, was named as follows. ' Charles Searle , Rev. John D. Long, W. F. Norton , Edward S. Allej- , Theodore C. Fletcher and the chairman. Village Trustee Weeks , who gave Several log ical reasons why be did not consider the Fire Island site a proper one , made a valuable suggestion—that the towns of Isli p an.l Babylon purchase outright from the State the beach property owned by the Commonwealth. In view of the increasing value of tbe ocean shore front , Mr. Weeks ' sug- gestion is a very timely one , and , while little heed was paid to it at this meeting, we are of the opinion that it is a question to which our people can afford to g ive tbeir best thought. We are not at all convinced of the fitness of Fire Island Beach as a site for tbe State camp, although we do not say it could not be made suitable. We are, how- ever , quite certain that , in view of the attitude of the soldiers toward it , the change will not be made. Still the effort to secure its selection ean do no harm. O'C O . V .

Tbe fire was discovered about 10.30 by Hewlett Weeks , who was driving home. It bad theu just got under way. Mr. Weeks gave an alarm , and a number of resiilents of the neighborhood hurried to the scene. There was no water available , however , and nothing coulel be done , but to permit the building to burn down. The frame of the house was of solid oak , and the structure burned very slowl y. The house was a total loss—onl y the chimn ey being left standing. No one had lived in the liouse for some time. Tbe fire wns clearly the work of an i ncendiary, but no motive other than revenge can be assi gned for tbe act. Fortunately then; was little wind , and tho aeljacen t build- ings were not set on fire. Had thero been a strong wind from either point of the compass it is probable that much damage would have resulted. In our jud gment a detective should be em- ployed by the town or county authorities anel an effort made to secure the arrest , conviction and punishment of the person or person s who started the fire. There was no insurance on the property, which is advertised to be sold for taxes on Starch 8. As there was no insurance to be recovered , it is evident that the incendiary, for some reason , wished to destroy adjacent property. It is a matter that will bear investi gation , and the authorities should act promptly. W , R. M ARAS & Co. give notice , in another column, to their patrons iu Bab y lon and Amityville , that John Silsby, who has been driving their local route wagon , is no longer emp loyed by them. Birch Ketcham ^ of Amity- ville , is now in charge ofthe local route. Maran & Co. find their bnsiness affairs decidedl y -'tang led \ and are endeavor- ing to unravel tbe knots. To this end they ask that all customers of theirs in the territory named who may be owing them will settle withthem . and NOT with their former agent , antf also solicit a continuance of past patronage. They further ask those person s having cans belong ing to Maran & Co. to advise the firm to that effect and not permit their use b y other dealers.

What I did object to was serving on a committee , part of whose duty was said to be to raise funds for and to receive and en- tertain members of the legislature who mi g ht be sent to investigate tho matter far the State. I have had my experi- ence in entertaining members of legis- lative bodies , and have found that under the mellow influences of the entertain- ment usually provided on such occa- sions , they would be profuse in prom- ises , which the next day, under the pains of reaction , they wonld not only forget , but would enrsa tbe scheme that was ' held , unjustl y, responsible for their enlarged and bursting heads. While I do not admit, or even surmise , that such will bo the case with this committee , yet there is one sentence of my daily prayer which had peculiar sig- nificance , and influenced me not a little in declining to serve , viz.: \ Lead me not into temptation , \ especially when the chances of success are so remote as in this case they seem to me to be. The proposition that Baby lon and Islip towns , or either of them , buy Fire Island , or that part if it which the State own; is one that will bear think- ing about , especially by those who are acquainted with the beaches to the west of us , and the uses to. which they have been and are now being put. Thanking you in advance for your cour- tesy, I remain Yours trul y, A. J. W EEKS , Babylon , Feb. 22 , 1897. J AMES B. L OWERRE has a new and reliable kid glove cleaner.

D., son of Israel Wood , of Brooklyn , a well known former summer resi lent of Babylon , died on Saturday last at Guilford , N. Y., aged 28 years. Dr. Wood was a frequent visitor to Baby lon , and had many friends here. He was a youn g man of marked ability, and had a cordial , friendl y ra/iner that rendered him very popular .. ke was a graduate of the Polyteohn^ .Institute and attend- ed Bellevue MeiB^l College , from which ho graduated iL _890. He had been ill from a complication of diseases for more than a year , and four months ago he went to Guilford, N. Y., in an en- eleavor to regain his health. Dr. Wood had been connecteel witb tbe Norweg ian Hospital , Brooklyn, for four years and had previousl y been at the Seney hospital. Ho was a member of Ang lo- Saxon Lodge ISto. 137 , F. and A. M., of Brooklyn , and was also a member of tho Brookl yn Medical Society. Tho funeral took place from his lato home , No. 506 Willoughby avenue , Brooklyn , on Tuesday -evening, and tbe remains were interred at Atnityvillf on Wednes- day. Herbert T. Wood , who maniet 1 Miss Lulu Wicks , of thi s village , is a brother of the deceased. T HE Long Island Railroad Co. now sell excursion tickets to Long Island City on Wednesdays and Saturdays— good only on the trains leaving Baby lon at 5 P. M. and Long Island City at 12.10 A. M. —for §1.10—the p rice of a single ticket at other timef . Attached to tbe ticket s are coupons g iving the holder admission at a reduced rate to the Broadway, Fifth Avenue and Olympia Theatres. The train leaving L. I , City at 12.10 A. M.goes on to Patchogue , instead of stopping here , as formerl y, and then returns t\ > this station. If notice is given the company the train will stop at any station between Patchogue and Babylon on its return (west bound) trip, if the number of passengeits is sufficient to warrant the expense. This reduced cost of trans- poration and admission to three \ prom- inent theatres is a boon which amuse- ment seekers and others should ap- preciate. A G OSPEL M EETING will be held in the Ebenezer Baptist Church on Sunday next at 4 o ' clock. At this meeting it is expected that the Pray ing Band of Babylon will bo present and assist in tho service. In the evening at 7-30 the regular preaching service wi 1 be held.

E DITOR S IGNAL : —Tbe residents of Massapequa who own property on tho Merrick road are indignant at tho action of the Road Commissioners who are going to let out the contract for keeping this much traveled road in condition for the -coming year for the \ great\ outlay of SI74. I think personall y that if they cannot attorn any more money than that they may as well let the road go as it is. Thi s road should , in view of the great amount of travel , be niacadamizeel , as there is no otber road in tho county that is useel as much as this by carriages and bicycles. It should be ono of tbe best kept roads in the connty, but is not b y any means what it should be. A L OVER OF G OOD R OADS . Amttwitlle,.

Roadmaster Dittmann has done a great deal of very effective work on the hig hways under his care , and promises still further improvements. Something should be done with that part of Hoff- man avenue west of Dietz ' s Hotel to the point where the road crosses the track. It is an excellen t road in the late spring, summer and early fall , but as soon as the frost gets in the ground it is worse than bad—it is vile. It should receive attention from the Commissioners , and a strong effort maele to put it in auch a shape that it can be kept at least fairl y good at all seasons . John Miller , for nearly a quarter of a century a residen t of this village , was stricken with paralysis on Thursday last, and passeel away on Sunday, The deceaseel was 08 years of age. He is survived by a wielow aud one son. The funeral took p lace on Tuesday from the Catholic Churcb , and the remains were interred in the new Catholic Cemetery. The Labor Association , of . which the deceased was a member , escorted the remains to the p lace of interment. Mr. Miller was an uncle of Messrs. Charles and William Hirsch , of this village. The annual masquerade ball of the Athletic Club, held at Gleste ' s Hall last Saturday night , according to previous announcement , was a grand success. Tho attendance was very large , the costumes striking and elegant, anil the muse f aultless. In a word there was nothing lacking to render the occasion enjoyable , and tho club men nre to be congratulated upon having g iven thei r guests a thoroug hly pleasant evening. A Hi g hway Commissioner is to lie chosen this spring to succeed John S. Krueger , whose term of office exp ires then. It is understood that Cainmis- missiancr Krueger will be nominated to succeed himself, and that Valentine Heling, who formerl y held that office , will be bis Democratic opponent. Mr. Krueger. so far as we can learn , has proved a very capable and conscientious official. William Haps, whose critical illness bas been referred to in this column , was on Thursday of this week removed to the Presbyterian Hospital , in New York , to undergo an operation. We earnestl y hope it may be successful , and that Mr. Haps may be restored to health. Boss Fred Minneker is building for Ernest Kaune a wheelwright shop abont .the size of Mr. K.

L'Houimeelicu is the owner of a valuable ledger dating from 1 806 to 1818. It orig inally belonged to Wells & Griffing, storekeepers of Riverhead. At that timo , instead of dollars and rents being used as now, the accounts were kept in pounds , shillings ond pence. Not a pound of flour is to be found on the book as sold , although credit is g iven in places for bushels of wheat and rye , while rum , brand y and gin , with tobacco and molasses, appear frequentl y and seem to have been the principal articles handled in those days.

The waves of controversy seem to be running hig h just at present. It is af- affirmed by eminent elivines that Jonah was not swallowed by the whale , not- withstanding the p lain statement in the Bible tbat he was. Another affirmation is that there was no Jonah. The third deeJination may soon be made , that Jonah swallowed the fish , and still oth- ers may affirm that there was no Jonah nor no fish. This may do very well for gossip in the stores , but for eminent preachers , it seems like going a long way for material for a sermon.

We all know that any tired muscle can be resteired by rest. Your stomach is a muscle. Dyspepsia is its manner of saying \I am tired. Give me rest. \ To rest the stomach you must do its work outside of the boely. This is the Shaker ' s method of curing indigestion , and its success is best at- tested by the fact that these peop le are practically free from what is without doubt the most prevalent of all diseases. The Shaker Digestive Cordial not only contains digested food which is prompt- ly absorbed without taxing the tired digestive organs, but it is likewise an aid to the di gestion of other foods in the stomach. A 10 cent trial bottle will convince yon of its merit , and these you can obtain through all drug- gists. Laxol is the best medicine for child- ren. Doctors recommend it in p lace of Castor Oil. They are ao small that the most sensitive persons take tbem , they are so ef- fective that tho most obstinate cases of Con- sti pation. Headache and Torpid Liver yield to them. That is why Hewitt' s Little Early Risers are known as the famous little pills. H. Sf. Burtis. Babylon . J. B.Henry, Amityville; F. VI. Race, lsllp. . ._ . - - __ _- .
