NOSEY JIM HAS HIS SAY Some Timely Topics Picked Up By the County Review ' s Special Correspondent COMPLAIN OF DULL CAMPAIGN Republicans and Democrats Speculate As To What the Great Silent Tote Will Mean Some folks are complaining about this being a dull campaign. One ui \ the Democratic candidates says that there is going to be a big silent vote , which means that he Is going to be elected. A Republican candidate told the writer yesterday that the quiet campaign meant that the Republican ticket was going to sweep the decks and that the Democnia w#r» set pat- ting up much of a light We will all know about It after election. • « - • • One ot the County Review readers writes us that wagon* ought to carry light* at night , while on the roads, u well as automobiles. He thinks that wagons ought to hare two lights, one of then In front and the other, a red light . In tho rear. While there Is no law compelling wagons to carry lights he says that people ought to do it tor their own protection , but can see no reason why a law compelling wagons to carry lights should not be passed. • • • Voters should all see to It that their names are on the register. There has been much contusion this year over the new Levy Election Law. Friday and Saturday of this week are the last days of registration. Those who have not been registered must now appear In person. All whose names were previously registered are O. K., but new voters and those who have chang- ed their residences should see to it that they are registered , if you are not registered you certainly cannot vote. We are all glad to know that the contract for resurfacing the Quogue road has been given out. The County Review has been fighting for the Im- provement of this road or the north half ot It ever since it was built That road never should have been accepted by the state. • e e Gov. Wilson is thought to have started too early on his presidential campaign , but it must be remem- bered that there are 16 ,000 , 000 voters to be shaken hands with , saying noth- ing about the babies to be kissed. • • • Mr. Bryan may not run for presi- dent next time , but 'whoever the Democratic candidate la , he has got to keep his ear closely glued to the telephone from Lincoln , Nebr. • • • It' s a portenttous sociological fact that where you could once entertain your best girl with a trolley trip ami five cent bag of peanuts , now an auto- mobile ride and hotel supper are re- quired. • • • The attention given by the press to unhappy marriages shows that no- man ever gets his name in the news- papers by sitting up nights worrying for fear he has broken one of the Ten Commandments. • • * Anyone who Is writing a history of the j ' altcd State: snouM nmf t none of these details pbout Presidents ant! Congress , and get out a full chapter on the battles of the Giants and Ath- letics fui ' the world champ ionship. • » • What will the taxpayers of Suffolk say about the big increase In State tax?

Quite a number ot cases went over to the January term. Frank Romain , of Islip, age 19 , re- covered a verdict of $10 , 000 against the Long Island Railroad company, before Justice Kapper , in the Supreme Court , late Monday night. The action was for damages for personal injuries due to the alleged negligence of the de- fendant On July 16 . last , at about 9 o ' clock In tbc even!—s, ycun** R OSE »! H wac crossing the railroad at Railroad ave- nue , in Islip, when he was struck by u train which was going east. He was badly hurt having one hip fractured so that now one leg is two inches shorter than the other. His nose was also broken and he now walks with the aid of a crutch. Romain and his wit- nesses claim that there was no lights on the engine or the cars and that he had no warning of the train , which had followed close behind another train out of Islip. The Railroad com- pany had witnesses who claimed that the bell at the crossing rang and that there were lights in the engine. The case was commenced on Friday af- ternoon last , and was partly tried when court adjourned to Monday. There were a number of witnesses on both sides and the case was close- ly contested by counsel. Martin T. Manton was the attorney for the plain- tiff , and Judge Grilling represented the railroad company. The case was given to the Jury Monday night , at 8.30 p. m., and afte r deliberating for some time they returned a verdict for the boy of $10 , 000. Matilda Hoffman , of Sayvllle , re- covered a verdict of $1 , 000 damages against Miss Lucille C. Bonert , of Brooklyn and Sayville . last Friday afternoon , for personal injuries result- ing from an automobile accident. Mrs. Hoffman was sitting in her carriage in front of the Sayville postoffice , when Miss Bonert came up in her runabout and bumped into the carriage , throw- ing Mrs. Hoffman forward and giving her nervous system a shock. Miss Bonert admitted running into the wagon , but claimed that the Jar was only slight and that the wagon was not moved three feet and Mrs. Hoffman was not thrown out After the verdict of the jury, Judge Oeland, of Brooklyn, for the defendant , mov- ed to set the verdict aside on the ground that it was excessive , and Judge Kapper said that he would en- tertain such a motion later . After being out six hours the jury in the suit of Karoline Pelterson , as administratrix of ^ Charles Petterson agalns' . Henry Steers , incorpora ted , failed to agree and were discharged. The suit was for $25 , 000 for the death of Charles Petterson , her husband. Tuesday, an action brought by George E. Shea against the E . E. Paul Construction company, was tried. The plaintiff was employed by the defend- ant company in the construction of the Motor Parkway Inn , at Roukon- koma , and while at work he fell and i»-aa hart I v injured. He suffered a fracture of the leg and is not able to walk yet . although the accident hap- pened nearly a year ago. The claim of the plaintiff was that the scaffold was poorly constructed and was the cause, ot the accident. The defendant put on witnesses who testified that the scaffold was solid and that it did not break and was in the same good conditi on after the accident They also put on witnesses who testified that plaintiff had said it was his own carelessness that caused the accident. The Jury found a verdict for the de- fendant. Judge Grilling appeared for the defendant , while Martin T. Man- ton , of Brooklyn , appeared for the plaintiff. The action of Fillmore Matthias against Mary Ida Ehrgott to recover $1374 claimed as balance due on a contract for a bouse at Huntington, was only partly tried when Rowland Miles , attorney for the plaintiff , ask - ed leave to amend. Counsellor Le- auder Fabcr , for the defendant , ob- jected and the case was allowed to go over the term.

Willis And His Wife Create Great Excitement at Boy- port Early Sunday Horning Dr. William -Charles Willis , of Pat- chogue , tied his young wife to a tree n ear the Manhattan House , in Bay- port , about 1 o ' clock , Sunday morning wkera she was rescued by Detective Jacoil . Hamb u rger. Dr. Willis was taken ' to the Central Islip State Hos- pital , where he was held as tempor- arily insane. Dr. .Willis attracted considerable at- tention about a year ago , when he was arrested , charged with abducting his present wife, who was thea but 18 years o \ age , and was Miss Jennie Day- tou. of Patchogue , hl» stenographer. When the case came up uefuie tiic grand Jury, Miss Dayton appeared with ; certificate of marriage and the case was dropped. Mrs . .Willis defends her husband' s actions and says : \He meant no harm and only tied me to a tree to keep me from running away, while I waa de- lirious, ihe doctor wwiuni morphia. ' .. I had a phial ot It in my dress , hut would not give It to htm. I certainly shall do all . la my power to tree him from the asylum. \ Dr. Willis , his wife and George Dayton , ace 1» , who Is Mrs. Willis ' brother , left Patchogue early Saturday evening In the physician ' s automobile tor a trip to Lak* George. The ma- chine broke down so many times that it was 1 o ' clock Sunday morning when they reached Bay port , only a tew miles distant At this point , it to said , Mrs. Willis became hysterical and her bus- band , assisted by tor brother , tied her hands and bound her to a nearby tree. She began screaming and awakened Detective Jacob C- . Hamburger, who lived near. He went to the scene , freed , the screaming woman and then arrested the doctor and the girl ' s brother. Dr. Willis, when under ar- rest , continually pleaded for mor- phine. Pbysiciana who later examin- ed his wife , say she had been taking the same drug. Young Dayton waa charged with carrying concealed weapons , but in the Sayville justice court be was re- leased , as he proved that he waa only carrying a revolver that he had taken from Dr. Willis , fearing the doctor would use it during bis rage.

The notice was filed in the county clerk' s office here and will cause quite a stir throughout the county. ' Last year Suffolk' s assessed Valuation »»« X7fi.824.219.40. This year the state jumps it to $95 , 547,631.10. Last year Suffolk paid no direct state tax , while this year the county la called upon to pay $57 , 828.58. This sum must go in this year' s budget. One of the county officials told the County Review correspondent , this morning, that he understood that the State Tax Commissioners had taken something like (150 , 000 , 000 off of the assessed valuation of Greater New York and placed It on the country districts. He said that he understood that Nassau county had been raised $30 , 000 , 000. • A loud howl is sure to go up from the taxpayers from all parts of the county when these facts become known. It is understood that some of the Democratic leaders in this and Nassau county are very much disturb- ed over the matter and it is said that Senator Long was one of those taken completely by surprise and was as- tonished when he learned how Nassau and Suffolk had been raised. About the county buildings here the action of the State Tax Commission- era In making such a heavy increase in the assessed valuation of Suffolk is the one topic of conversation. Men could not understand the tremendous increase. The Board of Supervisors will meet Monday night and are likely to make a protest. The State Tax Commissioners met here last July, but at that meeting no one was given any intimation that the big Jump in Suf- folk' s assessment was to be made. TO MEET AT LATJBEL OS OCT.

PATRICK'S CHURCH Fire , which started In the vestry ot St Patrick' s church , in Huntington , did $100 damage and caused a lot of excitement in that village , Friday evening. But for the timely discov- ery of the fire by the Janitor and the prompt work of the firemen , the church building would have been de- stroyed. The smoke which poured from one small room to which the fire was confined, was very dense and suf- focating, so much so that the firemen had to work in relays, and one man , George Lewis , the ladder scaling ex- pert , was overcome and had to be re- moved. The origin of the fire is un- known. MAY BE DEMENTED Victor Jacobs , an old man who has caused the police of Suffolk and Nas- sau counties considerable trouble of late , was arraigned before Justice Valentine , at Huntington , Monday, on the charge of disorderly conduct, and was sent to the county jail at River- head , for thirty days. It is believed that Jacobs is fomented and the sen- tence was given in order that he might be placed under observa- tion , and in order that his SOD , in Port W\»»l'fnjrtnn may be communicated Willi, ji ictr'ia wao nutnicii *i* «<ia> last by Long Island Railroa d Detect- ive F.

V., a servant em- ployed by Mrs. W. M. Brownell , a Summer resident , who is living in the Miller bungalow, on the beach , at Wading River, was drowned while bathing in Long Island Sound, about 2 ,20 p. m., uu luuuuay. Mrs. Brownell , her two children , a girl about eight years of age , and a hoy, three yean, old, and the servant wore »!! in bathing. ll~s. Biowueil left the beach and went up to the bungalow to dress , leaving the child- ren and tbe girl in the water. The bunsaiow in not more than 100 \ e»S from the water ' s edge. She had been there but a short time when her daughter called to her that Thelma waa drowning. Mrs. Brownell , who could sot swim , ran up the road to a cottage a quarter of a mile distant , where Rus- sell Hudson S w !vester Uniiock and Wallace Dickerson , carpenters , were working, and summoned help. They all ran to the scene of the accident and Hudson pl unged into the water and brought the girl ashore. When Hudson reached her the girl was unconscious and was floating with her head under water. The three men and Kr». Browne!! immedlsicly started using every means possible to restore consciousness. Dr . J. H. Ben- jamin , of Riverhead , was called and he rushed to the scene In Lis automo- bile. Mrs. Lewis , a summer resident , waa called , and -together with the others , worked continually over the girl until the physician arrived. Every possible expedient was tried for near- ly an hour longer , but without suc- cess. It la supposed that the girl got out beyond her depth or else that she was seized with a cramp. It had been her practice to go in bathing there fre- quently. Mr. Brownell waa not at home when the accident occurred. He Is employed by the Virginia Pulp and Paper Company, In Manhattan. IMPROVEMENTS AT THE CANAL During the past month there has been quite a little work done at the Shinnecock canal , Good Ground. Tbe work was started by the L. I. R. R. Co., when they employed the firm of Goldsmith & Ttrthiil to drive spiles on either side of the canal , above and below the railroad bridge , which is to be riprapped with stone to stop the further erosion of property there and at the same time to protect their own property, - which was fast washing away by tbe heavy storms and tides. In continuation of this work , the State Department of Public Works , through its foreman , John Macken- zie , has employed Goldsmith & Tut- hill to continue the spiling from where the railroad couipauy btopped , down to tho canal gates , which will be rip- rapped with stone; also the retaining walls to the gates , which were of con- crete , have been built up three feet their entire length. The gates are in bad condition and no doubt they will be repaired temporarily. It i» »alu that the town of Southampton expend- ed considerably over a thousand dol- lars a year ago to repair the gates and that under tbe present conditions it looks as it the money was nearly wasted. Charles B. King, with a fore? of men , had charge of this work under tbe supervision of Mr. Macken- zie.

MAI B OLD SPECIAL ELECTION The committee of citizens appointed during the smallpox scare , at Pat- chogue , three years ago , has decided to ask the village trustees to take definite action soon toward paying Health Officer Overton his expenses of about $1 , 000 incurred in defending the $20 , 000 damage suit brought against him for damage by Mrs . Ida C. Sinn, in whose house he lodged a suspect. She got no damages , but the officer was put to a lot of expense in defending the suit. He and the com- mittee think the village ought to pay bis expenses , as he was working for the village, but the trustees have so tar refused to audit the claim. It has been suggested that a special election should be held to vote on it. J. Robert Bailey, John J. Kirkpatrick and Frank Gutridge were made a com- mittee to get the trusters to settle the matter somehow.

Feinbcrg Finds Its Way Iuto Court On Counter-Clinrgc s A lively neighbors ' row , at East Quogue , has resulted in two citizens being held in $2 , 000 bonds on charges of assault in the first degree. The question for the courts to decide is: Who pointed the gun? Harry Sacks and Isaac Fuiiiut:,^ are neighbors and riva l fruit ped'j' er. i . Sacks has been botherec ' ., he says , by Feinberg ' s ch.okens trespassing on his property and he admits that two weeks ago he shot one of them. The two neighbors have been rowing back and forth ever since and Wednesday, when Sacks went out with his gun in his hand , there was more trouble. As to the alleged assault , one story is different from the other and that is why cross warrants were issued. Sacks says that he weut out iu . iUe lot with his gun and Felnberg ran to- ward him. He feared trouble , he said and sc put the gun dow n along side of a corii stack. He said he thought that Feinberg was going to thrash him , but instead , Feinberg circled around , picked up the gun and point- ed it at him threatening to blow his , Sacks , brains out. Here is Feinberg ' s story : He met Sacks on.the road with the gun and Sacks pointed it at him and threaten- ed to shoot him when Feinberg took the gun away frcsn him he says and took It to Squire Griffin , in Quogue , where he got a warrant for the arrest of Sacks , on a charge of assault in the first degree. Sacks , through his attorney, George W. HU- dreth , waived examination and gave a $2 , 000 bond to appear before the grand jury. Sacks went to Riverhead , where he swore out a warrant for the arrest of Feinberg, charging assault in tbe first degree. Feinberg demanded an ex- amination and employed Judge Stack- pole to refend him. The car e has been set down for Friday morning, before Justice of the Peace Taft , in Riverhead. Both parties had to ap- pear before Judge Grilling, to have bail fixed and the amount was placed at $2 , 000 , which eacb. defendant read- ily furnished. The one question for the court now is which story to believe as both part- ies agree on one point , and that is that only one assault took place. BRIEF PERSONAL MENTION Friends of Allison K.
