A Bastardly Act THE LATEST Benjamin E. Fanning operates a large farm two miles south of Biverhead . Dur- ing the wi nter Charles Ryder has been working for him -for his board until some- thing tetter turned up. Ryder is an American and has worked a r o und for farmers in B a i t ing Hollow , Calverton and other p laces , as he w a s of a rovin g disposition. A mong other charac- teristics he is a large eater and Fanning of ten joked him about it Thursday night a f t er t he o t hers were throug h supper a nd Ryder had go tt en fairl y star ted , Mr . Fan- uing made some trivial rema rk , which ap- parently was not well received. Ryder at once lef t the table. Mr , F anning says he no ticed he did not like the remarks , but though t no more about it. Nothing more was seen of Ryd er that night. He w a s around doing his chores next morning, but a t breakfast it was noticed he did not drink a ny cocoa- M r. and Mrs. Fanning and their daugh- ter Hattie drank one cup each. After breakfas t Mr. Fanning gave the man or- d ers as to what he should do that morning, as he was going to Rive rhead.: While at the _ depot he was taken with a- violent he adache. While unharnessin g the horse Mr . F anning was Jaken with vomiting, and on r eaching the house found his jv U e and Haltie were both sick with headache and vomiting . They mistrusted what was the cau s e , as Ryder , who was always in the ha bit of di inking one or more cups of co- coa for breakfast , that morning drank none. Mr. Fanning started at once for Dr. Young, of Riverhead , taking the box of cocoa with him. U pon examination he f ound a white substance mixed wiih the cocoa which proved to be p iaster and Paris green. Dr. YouDg administered emetics , and they were relieved somewhat , bu t were very sick all day. Jus tice Stackpole is- sued a warrant for the arrest of Ryder , who on learnin g of the sickness , hurriedl y packed his bag and left. He was captured near Calver ton station on Saturday after- noon and locked up in the Riverhead j ail pending ex a m ination.

Sixty years ago Bellpoi t. was a den se woodland , with the exception of a very few houses. The ori ginal name was Acco- bomac , a nd afterwards called the Brew- B ier Place. In 1832 , C apt. Jacob Bell and his son , Capt. Thomas Bell , b ought . the tr act of l a nd , clear e d i t , and laid the foun- da tion , f or what now is the village of Bell- poat. It was at one time called Bellvillf , in honor of the Bell founders. Walter Burlin g, the eldest son of editor Burling of the S o uthampton Times , n ar- rowly escaped death from suffocation by g as. in New York , recen tly. He went to bed leaving the gas burnin g in a gas stove iu hi s room. During the ni g h t gas escaped from a break in the rubber p i pe , and the ntxt morning he was found unconscious , a nd it was twenty-four hoars before he re- yived. G OOD GROUND In driving f rom Riverhead to this place on S aturday Edwin N. Squires was thrown from the wag en and received severe inter - n al in juries ^ from which Ms recovery is doubtful. The y oung man w ho was so badly burn - ed and scalded by the explosion of the steam di g ger while at work on tho inlet , some time since , is rec overing and his com- plete recovery is looked for. ' Arrangements are being made b y sev- er al parties here to append P.M. to their r egular signature, Mrs. Uriah Raynor , whose mind has been somewh at demen t ed f o r s o m e t im e, went to visi t her daughter ,abou t two miles dis tant on Tuesday morning.

He is negotiating for the sale of a large tract of land on Shinnecock bay. Mrs. Philip Masehu tt met with quite a serious acciden t last week . In starting a fire , the material not being in proper con- di t ion , a quan ti f y of kerosene oil was poured in the s tove , and simultaneously an explosion occurred , setting fire to the lady ' s clothing and severely burning , her fa ce. Members of the household extin- guished the flames and cared for Mrs . M., who is now recovering from her injuries. The bridge across t he Shinnecock c a nal has b een completed accordi n g to contract , bu t the government inspector decides thai i t is not strong enoug h , and the grea ter p art of the work will have to be rebuilt SELDEN.

I t is * aid that the cases could not be sold without de tection as they are all numbered , and if . pounded up i t would be very hard for the thieves to separa te the gold from the alloy.

Chairman Price appointed Supervisors Pierson and Miller a commi ttee to look into the matter and report a t the next meeting of the board. The committee favors an addi tion to the ~ > _ ~ s ; pr esent building, the second floor of which L frm ed as an office by the Surrogate.
