Interesting Question Regarding the Status of the Shinnecocks TO COME BEFORE THE COURTS. The Guilt or Innocence of Persons Charged With Illegal Liquor Selling Rests Upon a Fine Distinction Claims That There Are No Pure Blood Indians on Long Island Other Interesting Cases on the Calendar. (Special to the Eagle.) Rlverhead, L. November 27 The regular fall term of the County Court for Suffolk County will be held in the Court House here, beginning Monday, December 6, with County Judge Benjaonin H. Reeve Of Greenport on the bench.

The civil calendar for the term contains eleven cases, while the criminal calendar, as filed in the County Clerk's office yesterday afternoon, by District Attorney Walter H. Jaycox of Patchogue, shows that forty cases will be considered. This is the largest criminal calendar for some years, and a number of Important cases are Included in It. Among one of the most Important ones to be tried is the case of the people vs. William Piatt and Emily Piatt of Southampton, The charge Is that the Plants sold liquor to an Indian living on the Shlnnecock reservation.

The case will attract more than ordinary interest, as the trial is going to test the claim of those in possession of the Shlnnecock reservation that they are the direct descendants of the famous Shlnnecock tribe of warriors. It has long been a question which some have disputed, whether or not the real full blooeded red man really exists on Long Island to day. The defense Interposed by Piatt and. his wife will be that the complainants are not Indians, and consequently it is not breaking the law to sell them liquor. Dave Hlllls, known as King Dave, who claims to be a direct descendant of a famous chief and warrior, Is one of those who claims to have purchased liquor at Piatt's place.

The Shlnnecock tribe, or what is left of it, live on the Indian reservation near Southampton. They do not enjoy the right of franchise but follow the custom of their tribe and hold their own councils and elect their leaders. The reservation is very valuable property and city people are constantly trying to get hold of it for summer homes. In this action District Atotrney Jaycox will appear for the people and T. M.

Grlfflng of Rlverhead for Piatt and his wife. A case which promises to bring out some amusing points is that of the People vs. August Gumz of Manorvllle. The complainants in the matter are George H. Schultz and Willie Schultz, also of Manorvllle, and they allege that Gumz emptied both barrels of a shot gun at them while they stood at the garden gate of the Gumz mansion, talking to Gumz's daughter.

Gumz says that they were not only talking to his daughter but that they were hugging and kissing her, an act which, he says, he strongly objected to if the young woman didn't. He doesn't deny firing the gun but says that he shot it in the air only to frighten the boys away. Ernest W. Tooker of Rlverhead appears for Gumz. Frederick C.

Sands will be tried for withholding money and goods that rightfully belonged to the Singer Sewing Machine Company, for which he acted as agent for some years. Sands is a young man and well known In several Long Island villages, principally in Sag Harbor, Greenport and Sayvllle, where he has conducted a Jewelry store and at the same time acted as the Singer Company's agent. There wlll'also be a large number of liquor cases tried at this term, the most prominent being that against John A. Wolfarth, who rs accused with selling liquor at his hotel, which is alleged to be but 314 feet from the State Hospital at Kings Park. The following are the Jurymen who were drawn Saturday to seTve at this term of the County Court: Huntington George W.

40 SEPARATE DEPARTMENTS. Thirty one Separate Bond Accounts Kept Bonded Debt of the County, $4,300,000 Thousands of Lots Sold This Year for Arrears of Taxes Over 1,600 Liquor Tax Certificates Issued Since January 1897. (Special to the Eagle.) Long Island City L. November 27 The growth of business in the Queens County treasurer's office during the past few months, caused by the enormous sale of county bonds, the total now amounting to $4,300,000, Is a matter of surprise to those who now visit the place. There are thirty four sets of bonds and a different account has to be kept with each.

There are twenty nine bank books kept in the office and over $20,000,000 will have been deposited to the credit of the county before the close of the year as a result of the more recent bond sales. The entire business of the office has also been largely increased In the past few years as a result of recent legislation. Under the recently enacted liquor law of the state almost the entire work of the Excise Department of the county is done at the County Treasurer's office, and last year 1,600 liquor tax certificates were granted In this county, all of which had to be accounted for, receipts given and the amounts turned over to the State Controller. BeBldes this, all rebates for cancelled certificates have to be adjusted and warrants procured from the Controller for the payment of the amount to be' returned. Furthermore, the County Treasurer has to approve all excise bonds.

All the tax sales of the county have to be managed by the County Treasurer and tax deeds or certificates given to purchasers. Owing to the location of Queens County near the great Cities of New York and Brooklyn, the number of suburban building lots bought and sold by speculators upon which the taxes are not paid is enormous. In some of the Western towns three or four thousand lots were sold for unpaid taxes this fall. The total number sold in the county for tax arrears is enormous. The number will be largely augmented this year by the sales under the decree issued by the Tax Arrears Commission of the County.

The receipts from the various town tax collectors and receivers amount to over $400, 000 per annum in Queens County and the business of accounting for this and paying the hundreds of bills against the county, as as turning over to the state its share ot the receipts, requires considerable care and business capability Some of the other separate accounts managed heside the above each of which requires a separate compartment In the mammoth office safe are, the military fund, court expense, contingent, county road maintenance, collateral inheritance, county poor, district attorney, tax sale redemption, coroners' bills, bridge keeperaji general fund, clothing furid' 'folrfSS fWints, railroad, school taxes, all or which ave now to be paid by the County Treasurer, the accounts of the separate towns and the widows' and minors' fund In the latter department a separate account has to be kept with each individual under the direction of the Cyunty Surrogate. There are other separate departments, making about forty in all, each of which requires a separate management and Bystem of accounts. County Treasurer Charles L. Phipps, who entered upon the duties of his office January 1 last, has brought the system of bookkeeping In the office to a high degree of accuracy and he has Introduced several reforms In the methods of keeping accounts. Some Idea of the amount of responsibility shouldered by the head of this office may be gained from the fact that the present county treasurer has furnished $600,000 bonds as a guarantee for the faithful performance of his duties.

Queens County, which has within the past ten or twelve years been but a small suburban county, has now, owing to its rapid growth, become a great corporation, with 200,000 poulatlon and with assets of $120,000,000 assessed valuation; a county with a splendid system of macadamized highways, over five hundred miles in length, with miles of board boulevards paved with asphalt, brick and Belgian blocks, all constructed at a cost of not less than a county within whose boundaries whole townships have their streets lighted by electricity and gas; containing whole townships supplied with water for public reservoirs, and with half a score of thriving villages supplied with sewer systems built on the latest scientific plans.

Improved Facilities for Religious Training for Catholic Children A Fine Display of Chrysanthemums Lack of Culverts Make Flatbush Streets Lakes. New Quarters for the Flatbush Young Republican Club. The Rev. John T. Woods, pastor of the Church of the Holy Cross, Flatbush, has in order to provide for the religious education of Catholic children In his parish attending public schools, started a Sunday school to be held each Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the church.

There are at the present time 130 Catholic children attending public school in Flatbush. The parochial sehool connected wfth the church has not sufficient accommodation for more children. In order that the children of his parish may receive the full religious training this school has been established.

In announcing the opening of the school, the pastor said that inasmuch as th secular training of children in this parish was not being neglected, he hoped that the parents of all would attend equally as well to their religious training. LACK OF CULVERTS. Residents on Clarkson street, Flatbush, who have been much annoyed "by the improvements on 'that street, still have a grievance, which they will ask the members of the Taxpayers' Association to consider at the regular meeting of that body this week. People living; near Rogers avenue are especially interested. According to the statement of a resident of tho street last night the engineer in charge of tho work has l.illed to provide the necessary culverts at the intersection of the two streets named, and after each storm water to the depth of eighteen Inches forms a pond there.

He also said that four culverts are needed to carry off the water. P. McCanna, one of the persons interested, said that he had been informed by the contractor that no provision had been made for the culverts needed and no contract made for the construction of the same. He said that water with sufficient depth to float a row boat stood in the street during Friday's storm. The water is not only annoying for the residents in the vicinity, but is dangerous for tbe children going to anil from the public school on Rogers avenue.

FLATBUSH NOTES. The divorce suits In which the Swatwout and Redgate families are interested will come up In court probably within ten days.

It was expected that new quarters would be secured, as a committee was appointed in the summer for that purpose. The three story building on the northeast corner of Flatbush avenue and Clarkson street was found to be a desirable location and a large sum waa subscribed by members for the purchase, but the deal was not consummated for some unknown reason and doubtless the club will take out a lease for another year on the building now occupied.

November 27 Police Commissioners Delehanty, Mclnall and Bag ley this city announced to day the appointment of Thomas F.

Believing that his relief had rapped the signal familiarly known to all policemen, he says he started in' tfbe direction from whence the sound came, which was on his way home. He was met by Roundsman Fitzgerald, who asked him why he had left his post.

Sheridan replied that he had' simply crossed the street, believing the roundsman was a patrolman, detailed to relieve him, as his tour of duty had expired. Fitzgerald preferred charges against Sheridan and charged him with Shirking his duties as a policeman in leaving his post. always been politically, opposed, to Mayor Gleason.

FOUND DROWNED. Sayvllle, L. November 27 Life savers from the Oak Island Life Saving Station found the body of a man on the ocean beach at an early hour this morning. The report of the finding of the body was brought to the mainland by George Swanbeck, a member of the Lone Hill Station. While the man's body did not seem to have been In the water any great length of time his right arm and head were missing.

The body was dressed as that of a fisherman. The life saver, who first discovered th.e headless trunk tossing at the edge of the surf, drew it up the beach out of the water and then reported at the station of his discovery. At Point o'Woods Station at daybreak a Canarsie fishing boat was found upside down on the beach and many of the life savers seem to think that the man found was a beach fisherman who was swept off shore by a sudden storm and lost his life and that the lifeless body entangled in the ropes drifted far to the eastward and that the heavy surf parted them when near shore, as the boat lies fully five miles from where the body was found.

IN LONG ISLAND SCHOOLS. How the Richmond Hill Board of Education Proposes to Award a School Contract.

Jamaica, L. November 27 The Board of Education of Richmond Hill is about building a new school house under a recent appropriation of $70,000 voted by the people of the district for the purpose. Instead of advertising for bids for doing the work each member of the board retains In his possession a copy of the plans and specifications, which are submitted to certain contractors for bids and all others are shut out. Outside contractors have been unable to obtain copies of the paper. There la great opposition in the village to this method of procedure, which it is claimed savors of corruption.

It is stated that the matter will be brought before the courts if the present method is not changed. Blue Point, L.

Tbe present regular attendance at the school is about sixty five, but the new building is to bo arranged for one hundred pupils. The building will be heated with hot water. Thi3 plan is to be made at the suggestion of the School Commissioner, Charles W. Fordham, who says the hot water system should be used in every school building for heating purposes. In disregard of this feature the commissioner says that many of the present school buildings are no less than fire traps, where death is lurking.

The trustees of the school have decided to accept the offer of the insurance company of $1,875 for the original $2,000 insurance on the burned building. A number of drawings and plans have been offered but none has yet been accepted. Walter L. 8uydam and A. A.

Reminiscences of the Old Village Told by John R. Townsend to the Manor Born.

Whitestone, L. November 27 John R. Townsend, a native of this place, gave an interesting lecture at the Presbyterian Church, in this village, a few evenings ago. His topic was "Whitestone Past," and he related the early history of this growing and prosperous little village. Mr.

Townsend said that Francis Lewis, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, resided where the Locke House now stands, in the neighborhood of the railroad station at the landing. Josiah Hal let, about the year 1800, owned most of Whitestone but his homestead was not located here. Whitestone was at one time called Cookie Hill and the name was procured under amusing circumstances. The story goes that a colored woman, who used to sell cookies in South street, New York, was one day accidentally carried off by one of the few steamers that at that time sailed on the sound, and was landed at the first stop, which was Whitestone. Her cookies met with such a ready sale that she decided to make the place her permanent home and the village a few years later was called Cookie Hill from the incident.

The oldest house In Whitestone is thought to be the one now occupied by Louis Froh mer, a wealthy cigar manufacturer. The first schoolhouse stood where the Catholic parsonage is now. It was a low one story building, badly In need of paint. About 1853 the village hall was the schoolhouse and remained so till 1873, when the present building on Nineteenth street and Eleventh avenue was occupied. The first church organized in Whitestone was the Methodist, and occupied the present Catholic church.

The Episcopal church was next organized in the same building. The Roman Catholic church was the third one organized and was followed by the Presbyterian and Lutheran churches. The old fort at Whitestone, which Is believed to have been built at the time of the French and Indian wars, was rebuilt in 1776, by the American troops, previous to the battle of Long Island, and ruins of it still remain near Mm e. Herrmann's property. It was commanded by Reuben jr Munson, great grandfather of Robert S.

Munson, a present member of the Beard of Education. The seventy first Highlanders were located In the vicinity, after the battle of Long Island. The ferry known as the Whfcestone Ferry was an old horse ferry that used to ply across the river from before 1776 to nearly the middle of this century. Augustus H. Kissam was the first postmaster of Whitestone.

The first sewer In Whitestone was from Bowne's swamp, on the Willets Point road to Nostrands Cove. King Alcohol was tried and convicted in the basement of the present Church by the temperance people and executed across the way. The trial was before Judge Wade Hampton, and Cort Thompson acted as his attorney. It Is said that smugglers had their caves In the Vicinity of De Witt Smith farm. BABYLON NOTES.
