2 July 1898
Grammar grades in Greenpoint, namely, the Norman avenue school, has
annexed in No. 59 in Leonard street, and draws pupils for the grammar grades
from the Java street and the Monitor street schools.

No One to Be Married.
So far as can be learned there are to be no changes in the personnel of
teachers at any one of the schools.  Inquiry was made and principals say
that everything will remain the same for next year.  It is possible that the
STAR is "way off" on this and possibly these lines may be read with a giggle
by certain few who know of a prospective match.  Usually there are some few
resignations of young lady teachers for the purpose of marriageŠ..

Miss HOGDON
Miss Josephine E. HOGDON has been the principal of the Monitor street school
now since last March.  Previous to this she was the head of the department
in the Leonard street school.  Miss HOGDON is a very earnest educator, and
takes much pride in the Monitor street school, and well she may, for there
is not a better school in all the city.  To begin with, the situation is
unparalleled, fronting Winthrop Park, and in the midst of a bright clean and
pleasant neighborhood, which alone is an inspiration.

5 July 1898

Mr. Thomas H. SWEENEY, principal of School No. 6 and Miss Emma C. KING, one
of the teachers of No. 6 were quietly married on the morning of the 4th of
July in the Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.  Only a few of the intimate
friends of the contracting parties were present.  Rev. P.A. WALSH, past of
the church, officiated.  Miss KING, a sister of the bride was bridesmaid and
Mr. Harry COUPE of Utica was best man.  A reception at the residence of the
bride's parents followed the ceremony and a wedding breakfast was served.
Later in the day the bride and the groom started their wedding trip.  They
will spend their honeymoon at White Lake in Sullivan County.

6 July 1898
Motorman Arrested.
It is Charged That He was Drunk While Running His Car.
An inspector of the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company caused the arrest of
Motorman Morris MORIARTY, of 190 Eagle street, on Wednesday morning.  The
arrest was made by Officer ESTER.
The inspector, it is alleged, tried to take MORIARTY off the car of the
Flushing off of the Flushing avenue line, which he was running, but could
not succeed.  It was then that the services of Officer ESTER came into play.
MORIARTY was locked up on the charge of intoxication.  If proven guilty, he
will be dismissed from the service of the company.

7 July 1898
A Golden Wedding
Former Greenpointers, Now of Freeport, Had a Celebration on Monday.
Many people of Greenpoint will remember Mr. and Mrs. Carman PEASELL, who
lived in the Seventeenth Ward a good many years ago.  Mr. PEASELL was at one
time a leading mechant here.  He is a brother of our respected fellow
citizen, Mr. H. PEASELL.  Mr. and Mrs. Carman PEASELL have lived in Freeport
about a dozen years.  They went there long before it became famous as an
annex to Greenpoint.  Well, to cut a long story short, Mr. and Mrs. Carman
PEASELL celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in Freeport on Monday
evening.  Mr. PEASELL comes of the old Long Island family of that name.  He
was born at Lynbrook in 1827, then know as Pearsall's Corner.  His parents
were Mr. and Mrs. William PEASELL, now dead. Carman and his wife were
married in 1848 in New York by the Rev. Mr. SEELEY, pastor of the Sixth
Street Baptist Church.  Harriet A. EARLE, his wife was the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas EARLE, of New Jersey.  She was born in Durham, N.J.  In 1886
Mr. and Mrs. PEASELL moved to Freeport.  They are members of the Methodist
Episcopal Church of that place; he is also a member of the Official Board.
He has been a Mason for years, and was a charter member of the Seawanhaka
Lodge of Greenpoint.  Mr. and Mrs. PEASELL have but one living child, George
W. PEASELL, who is married and has three children.

8 July 1898
Alfred BADGER, of 206 Maujer street, Brooklyn, while driving a produce wagon
along Jackson avenue Thursday afternoon was run into by a trolley car and
thrown from his wagon.  He was taken to St. John's hospital in the ambulance
and Dr. HALL dressed the ugly scalp wound he had received.  He is fifty-one
years of age.

REX ­ HOWARD
A pleasant home wedding was celebrated on Friday last at the residence of
Captain Henry REX, 204 Jackson avenue.  The captain led to the altar Mrs.
Jenni[e S.?] HOWARD of Long Island City.  The guests were largely the
officers of Tuxedo Lodge, Order of the Eastern Star, Manhattan, of which the
bride holds next to the highest office.  The best man was Mr. Fred E. LYONS,
the bride's brother, and the bridesmaid was Mrs. Jennie JUDA, the worthy
matron of the lodge.  The ceremony was performed by the Rev. W. H. LAWRENCE
D.D. pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Greenpoint.  The
evening was spent in pleasant and social intercourse.  An elaborate supper
was served at 10 o'clock.  Captain and Mrs. REX are making a bridal tour of
two weeks along the Hudson and up the State.

9 July 1898
Burned With Carbolic Acid.
The two-year old daughter of Patrolman FREELAN was severely burned at her
home, 223 Eckford street, on Saturday morning last with carbolic acid.  The
child managed to get the bottle of acid and taking the cork out she spilled
the contents on her left side from her hip down.  Dr. McKINNON attended her.
It is very fortunate that the injuries were not great than they are.

His Watch Stolen.
Alfred CREGER of 162 Eckford street reported to the Hunter's Point police
that about 6pm on the Fourth of July his pocket was picked of a gold watch
valued at $35, while pushing his way through a crowd at North Beach.

An Incorrigible Lad.
Frank HAZELTON is an incorrigible boy.  He lives on India street.  His
parents can do nothing with him.   On Friday Detective BEHLEN and officers

Justice KRAMER.

13 July 1898
Little Boy Lost.-His Name is David FOSTER and He Resided on Driggs Avenue.
The police of the Sixty-first Precinct are making a close search under
direction of Captain REARDON for the missing eleven year old boy, David
FOSTER, of 146 Driggs avenue.  This little boy disappeared from home four
weeks ago, since which time nothing has been heard of him.  He is reported
to have been seen once in Newtown and once in Greenpoint selling papers, but
there is nothing definite about this.  People may have been mistaken.
Four weeks ago, Mrs. FOSTER, who is obliged to work for a living, came home
and found the following note pinned on the door:
"I drowned myself in the creek."
There was no signature, but the handwriting was that of David.
"I do not know what to think of the matter," said Sergeant GROVES,of the
Sixty-first Precinct.  "Mrs. FOSTER is a strange woman.  She belongs to the
Salvation Army.  No, I don not think the boy has been drowned or kidnapped.
I think he has simply run away.  The mother and father do not live together.
The father was once foreman of an iron foundry in Greenpoint.  The boy may
have gone to his father.  Mrs. FOSTER is continually coming here, and
telling us about the lad.  We cannot  find him, but we are doing our best.
His disappearance and description have been sent to every precinct in the
city, and also to the police of other cities.  The mother seems to think a
good deal of the boy.  She cries and cries.  The boy was an attendant at the
Meeker avenue school."

Old Station House Sign.
Had Stood for Twenty-eight Years and Was Then Taken Down.
On Monday afternoon Captain REARDON of the Sixty-first (Greenpoint) station
ordered the taking down of the big green lantern that has stood over the
main door of the building for twenty eight years.  Thomas DORAN, the door
tender, went at the job to take it down.  He had indeed a job of it.  The
iron prongs to call them such, that held the big green lantern in position
were embedded in the walls of the building having been placed there when the
building was put up.  Finally the prongs were jerked from the brick and
mortar, and the big green glass was smashed in taking the lantern down.  It
is stated that a red light will be placed over the main door of the station
house in place of the old green one.  This is, indeed, an innovation.
Almost, from time immemorial, a green light has been the signal of the
police station over the main entrance.  It is understood that red lights
will hereafter stand over the front door of every station house in the city.
It was stated that this Greenpoint station was built in 1855 or '56.  This
is a mistake.  The old original station house was on the southeast corner of
Greenpoint avenue and Franklin street, and the building is standing there
yet.  On the ground floor is the thriving real estate office of CLARK &
PENDLETON. This building back in the fifties and sixties was occupied not
only as a station house but as a police court, and there at one time sat
Judge Chaucey PERRY in the administration of justice.  Mr. PERRY from his
law office window opposite now looks out on Greenpoint with a population of
50,000 as a part of a Borough of over a million which helps to make up a
city of three million and a half.

She Will Take the Veil
Miss Maggie JESSUP One of the Sisters of St. Joseph.
Miss Maggie JESSUP of 116 Noble street, Greenpoint, is about to take the
veil as one of the Order of the Sisters of St. Joseph, in Flushing.  She is
only twenty years of age, but has long been determined to take this step,
even against the dissuasions of friends.  With the close of the present
school year she gave up teaching at Public School No. 108, in East New York.
She is a graduate of St. Anthony's Parochial School and of the Academy of
Our Lady of Victory in Brooklyn.  The Sisters of St. Joseph are usually
teachers.  They conduct the girls' department of the parochial school of St.
Anthony's.  It is no doubt likely that Miss JESSUP, under the new name which
she is to assume when she takes her vow to retire from the world, will
continue in her career as a teacher for which she is admirably fitted, and
for which attainment she studied so long.  A sister, Miss Dora JESSUP,
recently graduated at the Training School.  A brother, Michael JESSUP is now
studying at the Jesuit College, Frederick City, Md., He was previously for
two years at the College of St. Francis Xavier.  John J. JESSUP, of the
Sixty-first Precinct, is a brother.

15 July 1898
CLATWORTHY - GILLESPIE [TAGGART]
On Sunday afternoon Mr. Augustus W. CLATWORTHY of Long Eaton, England, and
Mrs. Christine GILLESPIE, nee TAGGART, of 71 Grand avenue, and formerly of
Glasgow, Scotland, arrived at the parsonage of the German Second Reformed
Church and requested of the Rev. Dr. STEINFUHER that he would unite them in
marriage, which was soon done.  It was understood that Mr. and Mrs.
CLATWORTHY will make their residence in Jersey City.  He has a position in
connection with the Pennsylvania Railroad.  Mr. CLATWORTHY was a widower,
and Mrs. GILLESPIE, as her name indicates, was a widow.  Mrs. GILLESPIE was
staying at 71 Grand avenue and Mr. CLATWORTHY was domiciled across the street.

RICKUS - HOOS
On the same Sabbath afternoon, only a little earlier, another wedding party
visited the parsonage of the German Second Reformed Church, and soon the two
were made one.  The contracting parties were Mr. George RICKUS, Jr. one of
the most enterprising citizens of College Point, and Miss Lizzie L. HOOS, of
Long Island City.  The witnesses were Mr. John P. HOOS, a brother of the
bride, and Miss Bertha RICKUS, a sister of the groom.

exert himself in any way.  Usually he is found by many acquaintances, and
with his natural good humor he seeks to please and entertain all who may
come in contact with him.

Many people not members of the congregation will no doubt be at the Orchard
Primitive Methodist Church on Sunday morning and evening to hear Mr.

recently when he preached in the Union Avenue Church on the way to select a

George BEHLEN remains at his post in Greenpoint.

Charles CRACKE, the well known business man of 114 Newell street, goes out
on Long Island for a week on his bicycle.  He will visit all the towns of
note, going as far as the Hamptons.  When he reaches a place that he likes
he will stop and take a rest.  This is unquestionably the best way to see
the country.  There are many delightful places out on Long Island, some by
the sea and some further inland, and a more enjoyable trip could not well be
imagined.  Mr. KRACKE is certainly entitled to his vacation. [last name
spelled with C and K]

An engagement is announced.  It is that of Darwin James MESEROLE  to Miss
Katharine L. MALTBY.  Mr. MESEROLE is the son of General and Mrs. J.V.
MESEROLE of Washington avenue and once of Greenpoint, and is a prominent
mission worker in the industrial department of the Brooklyn City Mission.
This turned his attention to several nice points of law, and he is
determined to make it a study, and after one year of preparation he passed
examinations on five years' preliminary work.  The close application to
study, together with his mission work, so determined his health that it will
be necessary for him to rest and travel, after which his complete recovery
is assured.  Miss MALTBY is of the Connecticut family of that name is a
graduate of Vassar, and the founder of the Civitas Club.  She is also
prominent in educational circles, and has a boarding school at 160 Joralemon street.

Valley and will spend the month of August with relatives.

Seriously Injured.
Miss Ada BEEVERS who was run over while bicycle riding in Woodside on May
9th is ruined in health and appearance.  She is a handsome young girl of
sixteen, but her face bears marks that will never leave her.  She also
suffers from a trouble in her hip.  Her father and mother were talking about
the matter on Wednesday afternoon.  The conversation was incident to a
statement made that Thomas and Francis FURLONG who were with her at the time
of the accident, and were injured, have brought suit in the Municipal Court
before Justice McLAUGHLIN to recover $500 each for injuries received the
defendant being Frederick CARELL, of 240 West Sixty-eighth street Manhattan
whom the parents of Miss BEEVERS are also suing, Mr. CARELL, it would appear
ran into the bicycle party.  It is stated, said Mr. BEEVERS that I am suing
Mr. CARELL for $20,000 damages.  This is not so.  I have brought a suit for
damages, but the amount is left to the jury to decide.  The suit is brought
by my attorneys Foster & Foster, in the Supreme Court.  The limit is $500 in
the Municiple court, but in the Supreme Court any amount may be asked, and
any amount may be given; but money, no matter how much, can ever make Ada
what she once was.  The case will come up in the Supere Court probably in
October.  We can never forget the nigh of the 9th of May.  Ada went out
bicycle riding with a party and we worried because she did not come home.
She did not come until late and we were terribly frightened when she walked
in on us wearing a black veil over her face.  She works in the rug factory
now, but she can't work steady and the foreman lays her off any time when
she feels sick. Miss Ray ROMER was in the party, but she was not hurt at
all.  Mr. BEEVERS showed the remains of the bicycle on which Ada was riding.
Amore completely wrecked and smashed wheel it would be hard to imagine.

23 July 1898
Shaft Penetrated Shoulder.
Harry LABEDELL of Greenpoint Was Injured on Jackson Avenue.
Harry LABEDELL, of the Greenpoint Y.M.C.A. who is superintending the
building of the new sanitarium on Jackson avenue, Corona, was one the of
persons entered in the road race of the Y.M.C.A. at Bayside today.
On Thursday evening LABEDELL was out on Jackson avenue  riding when suddenly
a carriage which contained two men and two ladies, coming in an opposite
direction, approached.
The man who was driving saw that an accident was inevitable and endeavored
to stop his horse but he was too late and the shaft of the carriage
penetrated the young man's breast just below the left clavicle, striking the
scapula, causing the young man to fall under the horse's hoofs.  He was
removed to the hospital.

Kicked By a Horse.
Joseph KESSLER, twenty-three years of age, who lives in Dupont street,
Greenpoint, was kicked in the back by a horse about 1 o'clock last Friday
morning on the Long Island Railroad dock at the foot of Third street.  He
was at work for an iceman at the time.  The ambulance took him to St. John's
Hospital and he was attended by Dr. HALL.

Greenpointers at the Front.
Interesting News as to Two of Them Now in Santiago.
Among those who went to the front at the outbreak of the war was Albert H.
WASHBURN of 122 Noble street.  He went out as a corporal of Company I,
Seventy-first Regiment, and had been in the employ of the firm of Belding &
Co., 455 Broadway.  Mrs. WASHBURN, the mother of the young soldier was seen
at her residence on Friday afternoon, and showed a postal card written by
her son which read as follows:
Santiago, Cuba, July 3d.
Dear Mother: - The battle is still going on.  I have been detailed to the
ambulance corps and am safe and well.  Will write soon.  Your loving son,Allie.
An intimate friend of Corporal WASHBURN was Frank BOOTH of Jersey City
Heights.  They were employed in the same business house in New York, and
they were both members of Company I, Seventy-first Regiment.  Frank BOOTH
was killed at the battle of San Juan Hill.  On Thursday Mrs. WASHBURN went
to Jersey City Heights where she saw the mother of BOOTH, who is a widow and
Frank was her only son, and as Mrs. WASHBURN says, he lived for his mother.
Mrs. BOOTH is almost distracted.  He was a fine promising young man. On the
mantel piece of the parlor are cabinet photographs of the two young men in
the uniforms of their regiment; both bright, promising, American youths, and
on of them gone.  However, Mrs. WASHBURN hopes that the worst is now over.
She is anxious day and night now for peace.  She expects another letter daily.

Another Greenpointer with Company I, of the Seventy-first, is Private P.J.
ALLEN of 125 Calyer street.  Two letters have been received from him
recently, on dated June 28th and the other July 4th.  In the letter of June
28th he speaks of the daring of the Rough Riders, in making an assault on
the first landing, before orders were given by their officers, and before
Cuban guides could show them where to go.  It was in this ill-starred charge
that Young Hamilton FISH was killed.  The letter of July 4th tells of the
charge of San Juan hill in which he took part.  They found the Cubans
half-starved.  Babies of four years did not weigh five pounds.  These babies
drank cocoanut milk, and parents ground up the cocoa and made a sort of
coffee, to call it such; at any rate a drink.  Cubans especially women, fell
on their knees and prayed before American soldiers welcoming them as
deliverers.  Spanish sharp shooters, hidden in the branches of trees, shot
at the ambulance corps and the wounded as the latter were borne from the
field of battle.  Mr. ALLEN writes that he is now in the woods back of
Santiago; weather  not so hot as it is up in New York in midsummer; good
cook, spring water from mountain streams, no yellow fever where he is.  Mr.
ALLEN was a pressman for DEVINEY in New York before he went to the war.  He
is also very young. He went out as a drummer and was soon made a bugler.
His father, John A. ALLEN, was a veteran of the late war; he died two years
ago; he was for a long time in charge of the Calyer street armory and went
out in the last war, at first as a drummer.

Crazy Policeman-Sad Fate of Officer LOFTUS, Well Known in Greenpoint.
Everybody will be sorry to hear that Policeman Edward LOFTUS, of Greenpoint,
has gone insane.  He lived with his wife and family at 159 India street.
He was appointed on the force on January 9th, 1890, and was assigned to duty
in Greenpoint.  Not long ago he was transferred to the Bedford avenue station.
On Saturday he was found at Greenpoint and Manhattan avenues, opposite the
police station, surrounded by a large crowd.  He was singing the latest
songs, and passing his hat around for pennies.  The crowd attracted
Policeman VANCE and Roundsman MALLEY, who took LOFTUS into custody.  He was
in citizen's clothes and was not recognized as a member of the force until
he was arraigned before Sergeant MONTAGUE, charged with disorderly conduct.
His actions caused the sergeant to think the man insane, and Police Surgeon
Charles TERRY, who was summoned, examined LOFTUS, and decided that he was
mentally unbalanced.  LOFTUS was detained at the station for the night, and
on Sunday was taken to the Flatbush Hospital, where a more thorough
examination will be made as to his condition.
It is said he had been acting strangely of late, and on Thursday night
handed his keys and shield to the sergeant at the desk in the precinct to
which he belongs, declaring that he was going to resign, as he had fallen
heir to $1,000,000.  He was not seen again by any of his friends until
Saturday night.  The police have learned that the demented officer had been
going among the residents of Long Island City soliciting money, which he
said was for a widows' and orphans' fund for the families of the men of the
Seventy-first Regiment who were killed at Santiago.  How much money he
obtained in this way is not known.
It is stated at the Sixty-first Precinct that Officer LOFTUS was a well man
up to the time of the recent parade of the city police, about June 1st. He
marched in the parade from the Battery to Fifteenth street, thence back to
Fourteenth street, where the parade was dismissed.  The day was a hot one
and the sun shone with uninterrupted brilliancy.  On returning home to India
street, Officer LOFTUS felt very tired.  He could not eat anything and was
unable to sleep that night.  His head bothered him.  He was never the same
man after that day, and in the opinion of his family, over-exertion at that

married at 23 Conselyea street and the silver anniversary of that happy
event was celebrated last evening at their residence, 211 Monitor street,

attracted general admiration.  There were many gifts of solid silver and
several baskets of choice exotics.
There was vocal and instrumental music and a fine collation.  Mr. and Mrs.

An Enjoyable Trolley Ride by Their Employes on Tuesday Evening.
The employes of Jacob STERN's Sons, proprietors of the great dry goods house
situated on the corner of Manhattan and Meserole avenues, in the Masonic
Temple building, Greenpoint, gave an illuminated trolley ride with two cars
on Tuesday evening.  The party left at 8 p.m. The band was under the
direction of Prof. Blue, and the preliminary ride about Greenpoint before
starting for the destination ­ Ulmer Park ­ was one of grand ovation.
ŠIt was certainly a gratification for Mr. and Mrs. Jacob STERN to receive so
warm and loyal a greeting from the employes of the establishment
Š.Arriving at Ulmer Park the band led the way to the pavilion, playing
inspiring airs and the employees and friends, including Louis, Edward and
Morris STERN, to the number of about 150, marched in and soon had possession
of the  place and enjoyed themselves hugely.
Š..Among those noticeable among the prominent guests besides those already
names were J. STERN, B. BENJAMIN and wife, W. DAVIS, S. OBERSON, L.H.
LIFSHEY, I. HAMMERSLAGG and Ben RAPAHEL.
The great event of the evening  in the way of mirth and amusement was the
grand cake walk.  In this all entered with heartiness.  It took place at 1
a.m. and twenty couples took part.  The judge was Mr. L. STERN.  Referees
William DAVIS and John SHERWOOD.
Š..there were three couples selected to compete for the cake in down in
Alabama or Old Virginia style ­
Mr. STURGER and Miss Katie KAHN.
Mr. THOMASSEN and Miss OETJEN.
Mr. J. HAHN and Mr. G. BOGART [ruled out because they were both men]
It was decided that the cake should be divided between the two remaining
couples.
Mr. STURGER refused to take half so it was presented to Mr. THOMASSEN and
Miss OETJEN.
The cake walk was, as stated, the mirth-provoking event of the evening.
There were toilets ravishingly beautiful and worn as they were with the most
charming grace they just brought down the house.  Storms of applause greeted
the appearance of Mr. Jesse STERN.  Why he did not take the cake was a
mystery.  Probably because he has plenty of it at home.  On his arm was Miss
Susie WORTH.
All present were the guests of the firm and lunch and beverages left nothing
to be desired on that score.
Everybody was back in Greenpoint by 4 a.m. delighted with the evening's
enjoyment.

1 August 1898
Too Many Cans.
Anthony NOVOTNY, who keeps a saloon on Jane street, Dutch Kills, was
arrested on Sunday night at 10:30 o'clock by Detective KELLY and Officer MC
GILL.  NOVOTNY put up a clever game to baffle the police, but not as wily as
the police in the end.  Adjoining the saloon is a butcher shop and NOVOTNY
ran a pipe from his saloon into the rear of the butcher shop and served out
the "golden rod" in cans to anyone who would come along.  The two officers,
seeing so many cans coming out of a meat market, had their suspicions
aroused and determined to investigate.  Detective KELLY watched his chance
and slipped in with one of the customers and caught the saloon-keeper
drawing beer from the tap.  NOVOTNY was immediately placed under arrest by
Detective KELLY, whereupon Michael LAFF tried to release the prisoner.  The
detective also arrested the latter for interfering with an officer in the
discharge of his duty.  Both men were arraigned in police court this Monday
morning and NOVOTNY was held in $1,000 bail until the 19th inst. and LAFF
was placed under $500 bail to appear at the same time.

Policeman Reinstated.
They are Men in Towns Taken In by the Recent Consolidation
Justice GARRETSON, in the Supreme Court on Monday granted a number of writs
of mandamus against the New York Police Board, directing the Police
Commissioners to reinstate as members of the police force men who were
policemen in the outlying towns which became portions of Greater New York,
but who were removed after consolidation.  The decision was based on the
opinion of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the RAU case.  RAU
was removed by the Police Board on the ground that he was legislated out of
office by consolidation.  The Appellate Division held that, under the
charter of the Greater New York, RAU should have been retained as it is
provided that the police force in all the consolidated portions shall become
members of the municipal police force.
On this opinion Justice GARRETSON directs the reinstatement of the removed
policemen at a salary of $800 a year.  The men also receive $50 costs each.
They are:

A Big Kick.
Property Owners Protest About Oakland Street Below Clay Street.
Property owners on Oakland street, northern end and proper owners of
adjacent streets are making a big kick because the contractors did not
finish the job of paving Oakland street from Driggs avenue to Newtown creek,
but stopped at Clay street, leaving two blocks torn up and in an impassable
condition.  The railroad tracks were removed and big holes and gullies are
left in the street.
Among the protesting property owners are
KELLY, James, the big iron man, who owns houses on Oakland street and nearly
all the property down Greene street towards Whale creek, has been one of the
most active of the protestants.
COOPER, John
Church & Co.

Messrs:

REED
WALKER
HUGHES
CRADDOCK
KRICKEY
MURPHY, James - Ex-Alderman
DROGE, Nicholas
And other property owners, numbers of whom have signed a petition to have
the street completed, from Clay to the creek.  It was stated in Mr. COOPER's
office that there is more business along those two blocks than there is in
all the rest of the street down to Driggs avenue, as all the large
establishments of the vicinity have much trucking and now find it next to
impossible to drive on Oakland street, from Clay street to the creek, on
account of the fearful condition of the thoroughfare in that region.  As
intimated the rails of the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company have been taken
up and no effort has been made to fill in the holes and gaps in which the
rails lay.  The cobblestone pavement that remains is also in a demoralized
and half torn up condition.

Fire In Greenpoint.
John WIARDI's Chemical Works on Greene Street Gutted on Tuesday.
There was a disastrous fire in Greenpoint on Tuesday morning, which
thoroughly gutted the large chemical works of John WIARDI, at Nos. 259 to
273 Greene street, and nearly cost the lives of two firemen.  They fell into
an elevator shaft, and but for the fact that their disappearance was
immediately noticed, they would probably have suffered death.
The firemen are Edward MUNDAY and Edward GARTHOLD both of the Stagg street
salvage corps.  The former was unconscious when pulled out, and had to be
attended by an ambulance surgeon.  GARTHOLD received slight bruises about
the face and head.

Modern Dentistry.
The modern dentist is daily brought into the contact with pain.  No other
condition is more important and nothing brings him more credit or gives
greater satisfaction to the patient than its relief.  In this respect Dr.
H.H. HUNT, Jackson avenue and Third street, is the most prominent
representative in up-to-date dentistry in these parts.  His dental rooms are
thoroughly equipped, and his professional services can nowhere be excelled.

Mrs. PENNY Heard From.
She Telegraphed Her Husband That She is in San Francisco.
Mrs. William PENNY telegraphed her husband a few days ago that she had
reached San Francisco on the bark Agate, en route for the Klondyke with a
portion of the Kings County Mining Company.
The second half of the expedition started for San Francisco over the West
Shore Railway on Tuesday.  There were forty men, headed by Mr. BURBANK, a
mining engineer.  The bark Agate was halted at Montevideo for fear that she
would be captured by the Spanish torpedo boat Temerario.  But for this
detention all the expedition would have been in the Klondyke long ago.

Home on Furlough.
Young LUHRS of this City Tells His Experience at Santiago.
Henry LUHRS, one of the musicians of the Seventy-First Regiment, is home on
a three days' furlough.  His father J.H. LUHRS, went to Camp Wikoff on
Monday and his son came back to Long Island City with him and will remain
until Thursday.
Young LUHRS looks well, but has not entirely recovered his strength since he
was sick with malaria ­ such as the climate of Cuba produces.  The
Seventy-first, he says, had their full share of hardships to bear during the
campaign at Santiago.  There were hardly a man who was not sick during the
stay in Cuba.  They had shelter tents which were large enough for two to
crawl into.  If it happened to rain at night there was no such thing as
sleeping in one of these tents with the floods of water running through it.
Mosquitoes did not trouble them, but there were tarantulas, centipedes and
land crabs.  During the day the flies were very troublesome.
Hard tack and fat bacon was the one article of diet three times a day.  They
had the same things for breakfast, dinner, and supper, and were glad to get
enough of that.  A few days before they came away they got some bread and
later canned meat, beans and tomatoes for variety.
On the day of the battle the Seventy-first got a taste of what it meant to
be under fire while marching up to take their position in line.  Spanish
shells suddenly began to fly about them and for a mile and a half they had
to submit passively to this exciting experience before they got into action.
In the charge at San Juan hill the Seventy-first had a share of the fighting
with the regulars.  They were not supplied with nippers to cut the barbed
wire as the regulars were, and they had to get through it as best they
could.  The Spaniards strung this wire all about Santiago.  The troops were
continually running up against it and that was the cause of a good many of
the wounds the Americans received. It was the intention to carry the first
line of entrenchments  and then fight the Spaniards from there, but the
first trench in places was so filled with the dead Spaniards that the troops
swept on over the hill and down the other side and half way across the plain
to Santiago before they stopped.
Between 11 and 12 o'clock the next night after the battle the Spaniards
attempted to surprise the Americans by attacking the line just where the
Seventy-first was stationed.  Half the men were in trenches while the other
half were down the hill asleep in their tents.  The firing was hot while it
lasted, but the Spaniards found they had barked up the wrong tree and
retreated with heavy losses.
The drums of the musicians were unloaded at Siboney, and that was the last
seen of them.  Everyone of the musicians was assigned to duty in the ranks
or detailed for service with the hospital corps.  They found themselves
carrying muskets instead of drums.
One of the hardships they had to endure was the rain.  There was a downpour
nearly every day that soaked the men to the skin.  Their clothing was hardly
dry from the time they landed until they left, and this was one of the
things that undermined the health of the troops.  The rain was not without
its uses for it gave Š.. [rest missing]
