He later walked home and the pain became so acute that Dr. Steele was called in and it was found that the ankle was broken. While driving along Merrick Rob'd, Valley Stream, last Friday evening between 5 and 6 o’clock, the carriage # of L. C.

The two occupants were thrown out, Mr. Nichols striking in a mud puddle and Miss ’Nichole on a grassy bank. Both were somewhat tiruised but no bones broken. The force of the compact was so great that a poition of the wagon was thrown on the radiator of the automobile. The driver uf the machine gave his name as Frank Reilly of St, Nicholas Avenue, New York, but Mr. Nichols informs us he has since learned from the Secretary of State that the auto mobile, the license number of which was 18184, is owned by George J.

Just at present Captain Hanse is deep in the problrm of the beet way of giving a beautiful park to the people of Freeport, before he steps aside. It i» this park problem, his friends say, that will make him reconsider hie de termination to step down from office in March. j Transfiguration will hold Recently the village leased about; fancy articles, aprons and Rev. W. A.. Richard, the pastor, will occupy the pulpit uf the M. E Church Sunday, morning and evening. The Guild of the Church qf j sale cake All the members ef the Village Board were present at the regular meeting held last Friday evening. Hugo 8tea/oe appeared and com plained against what be claimed was the discrimination againet Freeport by the Telephone Company. He stated that the rates from Freeport to New York were greater than from other villages of corresponding distances. Trustee Sigmond was appointed a com mtttre of one to take the matter up with the Company and report back to the Board. A communication was received from W. F. Beebe of Harris Forbes and Co. in which he suggests that the Village purchase some Village Bonds with the $14,000 in the water and light sinking | fund. The communication was receiv ed and filed for future consideration. ' President Hanse informed the Board thdt the lease for the new park prop erty had been returned and filed with •he the Village Clerk and the matter of this Shall Train. 38 Stop at Freeport? Answering a specific complaint of local commuters for a better train ser vice, President Peters of the L. 1. R.

About two or three years ago, train No. 38 which had been held for water pur poses. and the lease holds good for twenty years. To an Eagle reporter Captain Hanse said today, he was try ing *o find some means of getting the park beautiful before his term is finished. “ In March, I am throush for good. 1 think I can say now that I will net 'ac cept the office again if it is presented to me by acclamation. 1 have done my share and I have worked hard in doing it, but I don’t see how I can go on —unless----- The captain was asked what he meant by “ unless,” to which he re plied that the park problem has worried. ‘Here-we have a fine tract of land in the southeastern part of the village. We will hold a Board meeting Fri day night, and a park commission will be appointed.. The work of getting subscriptions, and of going ahead for the completion of the park will be taken-up. 1 am anxious to get hard working men and women on that park commission, and I want to see the work go on. Once it is slatted favor ably, then I will be convinced that the efforts of your Village President have not gone for naught.” The park proposition has been the captain’s pet scheme. He has had it in mind for several years. The park will soon be a realization, but not until a capable park commission, with many ideas and suggestions at hand, will have been appointed. It is confidently certain that the un finished park will cause Captain Hanse to seek re-election, at least for another year, until the Freeport Park is a fact. % - Brooklyn Eagle Saturday Miss Elsie D.

The train grew to such an extent that it was necessary to haul from twelve to fourteen cars to take care of the business. We were unable to make the time pnd it was necessary to put on another train. The natural thing to do therefore, and the only thing, was to run train No. 38 past Rockville Centre and Freeport and have a following train make these stops. This very naturally made the time to Freep rt a few minutes longer because of the delay at Jamaica of the train following No. 38, and the neces sity to make the stops at Lynbrook and Baldwin. Train 118 now serves these staions, leaving Jamaica three minutes behind train No. 38, making Lynbrook at 6.10, Rockville Centre at 6.14, Baldwin at 6.18 and Freeport at 6.22 p. m.
