August 22 Nearly all of the Democratic attendants at the College Point picnic report the usual grand, good time. There are exceptions, and one is Harry C. Keith, assistant district attorney in Colonel Asa Bird Gardiner's office, Manhattan. The subsequent proceedings of that picnic left him on his back at his home in Hempstead, with a surgeon and nurse in attendance, patching up the results of an argument he had upon the car on the return trip. Mr.

Keith, who is fend of argument, differed from some of the braves of his party on a minor point. Mr. Kfcith is an enthusiastic Democrat, very young, and has still to learn that speech is dross and silence golden on the return trip from a pow wow picnic where the firewater has flowed freely and the only thing wanting is a fight to make the day perfect. The picnic was conveyed to College Point by trolley, and on the return, when Mr. Keith attempted to argue with his co partisans on some triviality, there was a mix up of fists in the aisles of the car.

Mr. Keith, who is slight in weight and slender in build, was tossed from the tar like a ball and left with a friend to meditate upou misplaced partisanship. The fight and the l'all were serious enough to make the rest of the night, with the getting back to Hempstead, a hard experience. A nurse and surgeon were summoned, and it is understood that Mr. Keith was pummeled and mauled very severely, but is better to day.

Stony Brook, L. August 22 Thomas Shepard Mount died suddenly yesterday, and in his death Suffolk County loses one of its most prominent As a lawyer, politician, scholar and gentleman, Mr. Mt.unt occupied a paramount position. He had been ailimr MO IT NT. for about a week with stomach troubles and seemed on the read to recovery at breakfast time yesterday.

Two hour3 later he was dead. Dr. George Fanning, the attending phydcian, ascribes the death to cardiac troubles, superinduced by intestinal complications. As sor.n as the news of his death became known the village was cast into gloom and flags were raised at half mast, for all knew the foremost resident had gone. Mr.

Mount wa3 descended from a long and historical linn of ancestry, who have made their names famous In the artistic and literary annals of their country. He was the son of the late Henry Smith Mount, A. N. who with his brothers, Shepard Alonzo Mount, N. and William Sidney Mount, N.

was an early member of the National Academy of Design, in which all three have been crowned with the laurels of success. The deceased was descended in one line from Colonel William Smith, better known as "Tangier" Smith, the original patentee of Brookhaven Town. This patentee's eldest son, Henry, was born in Tangier in while his father was governor there, and chose as his wife Anna, daughter of the Rev. Thomas Shepard of Charleston, Ma3s. Their son.

Dr. Gilbert Smith, had a daughter, by name Penelope, who married Thomas Mount, great grandfather of the deceased. His mother was a Mary Ii. Ford, a direct descendant of Jacob Ford of Morrlstown, N. a Revolutionary hero and aide de camp to Washington.

In another line he traced his descent from the Rev. Abraham Piersou, who was born at York. England, In 1632 and was a graduate of Furniture Made to Order. TOWN GETS MORE THAN HALF, But the Smiths' Share Is the More Valuable and They Can Control All the Fishing and Shooting. (Special to the Eagle.) Patchogue, L.

August 22 Thomas Toung. Solomon Ketcham and Jonathan E. Terry, commissioners of the partition of Great South Bay. under an interlocutory judgment of the Supreme Court in the suit brought by the heirs of the late William Smith against the Town of Brookhaven, have filed the following report with the court: Vp havt divided siiid womlses and appurtenances inf. two equal pari.

quality and quantity relatively eonsidered. by a straight line be Elnnlns at a granite monument set in the beach and meadow a few leet above ordinary hitth water mark on the. north shore of Great South iiay. near Hawkins Point and at a point due south from the apex of the tower of the firemen's truck house in the village of Bayport, L. 1..

and running thence due south across said bay to the said Great South Beach and to another sranlte monument set upon the liluft" or high ground a few feet to the south of the line of ordinary high water mark upon the south shore of said Great South Ray. We have set off and allotted and do hereby set off and allot to the plaintiffs Helen T. Smith and William Sidney Smith, to be held by them in common, all that of said premises with the appurtenances' pertaining thereto tvhieh lies west of said line erossins the Great South Bay and containing thirteen thousand three hundred and ninetv seven and one half acres, sul.jccl. however, to the dower right therein the defendant Cornelia T. Smith, which dower rljtht has never been assigned.

We have set off and allotted and do set off and allot to the defendants herein the Ti cstees of the Freeholders and Commonalty of the Town of Brookhaven all that part of said premises, with the appurtenances pertaining thereto, which lies east of said line crossing the said Great South Bay and containing seventeen thousand nine hundred and forty seven and one half acres. In the division of the bay the town gets the eastern portion of the bay and over 4,050 acres, or seven square miles, more than the portion allotted to the Smith heirs in the western portion. This division into unequal parts is based on the difference in the value of the lands under water in the two sections. The land under the western portion of the bav which has been allotted to the Smith heirs contains nearly all those sections which have been leased for the purpose of oyster planting and culture. The eastern portion awarded to the town is better adapted for the growth of seed oysters.

This portion is not leased in separate tracts, and is termed the "Free Say" portion. For a toleration fee of So each per year residents of the Town of Brookhaven were until recently allowed to dredge at will over any portion of the grounds, at any time, seed oysters or other products of the bay fcottoms. All workers in the bay concede this policy has proved destructive to the best interests of the baymen and the town. The elevated tracts of hard bottom from 20 to 300 acres each, rising above the surrounding soft mud, which tracts were formerly the favorite spawning places for the oyster, and the spots where seed oysters grew most rapidly have been torn in pieces and scraped off by the dredges which have been dragged over them until they have ceased to be of any productive value. The town authorities have now shopped all dredging and it is predicted that in a short time all the trouble will be ended ar.d the spawning beds restored to their former fertility.

The western portion of the bay, which has been leased to planters for grov. irjj; and fattening the oysters has been preserved front dredging on the part of others than the lessees of the several tracts, and in this way bas been made to yield the principal revenue to the town. Only about one fourth even of the western portion of the hay is leased, the rest 's a bouom in whicu the ovster is Quickly smothered. The oyster growing industry has its enemies that are so serious as to largelv reduce the profits of the business. The borers must be fought continually and great skill, experience and care are needed to make a success of the business, which pays a few big growers only.

Heavy storms occasionally sweep over the bay, like that in November, when thousands of tons of sand and mud were deposited on the beds, covering them completely and destroying the entire crop. All those facts bad to be taken into consideration by the commissioners in making their award. The town and the Smith heirs have here tofore leased the grounds jointly and half I tne procoeas nave gone to eacn. Recently the trustees of the Town of Brookhaven passed a resolution which in effect would GREAT SOUTH not alllow even the lessees of the planted lots to use steam dredges in gathering their own oysters, which resolution still stands It was proposed to put a restriction of this kind in all future leases. This alarmed a number of the big oyster planters, who gave notice that they would throw up their lands as soon as the present leases expire.

The Smith heirs, seeing that their income was likely to be out short and the value of their property greatly impaired by this arbitrary ruling, and net wishing to be longer subject to the fickleness of the town boards of Brookhaven, commenced the above mentioned partition suit for a di visum of the property. It is said that under the, authority of the provisions of the old patents the Smith heirs will have control not of the oysters, escallops and clams, but of other kinds of fish and birds in their territory. The language of the old patent is: "With urn! singular tli hes. bay iim i. ii, iiuf.

Should the whole western half of Great South Bay become a private game preserve as Is likely under the powers granted by the charter, the income from the issuance of special permtls and privileges for hunting and fishing would add largely to the revenues of the Smith heirs.

The suit which resulted in establishing the right of the Smith heirs to an equal share with the Town of Brookhaven in the bay was commenced before Justice Cullen several years ago, and has been decided by the higher courts of the state. The rights of the Smith heirs in Great South Day has been a subject of litigation for not less than half a century. FIREMEN'S PARADE. Hockvllle Center, L.

Later he emigrated as a staunch Puritan to this country and was Installed as pastor at Newark. N. where he became the father of the first president of Yale College. Descending from such cultured stock it was natural that Mr. Mount, who was born in New York City nbout sixty four years ago, should have inherited some of the scholarly and artistic attainments of bis progenitors.

In youth he was Instructed at the best schools his state supplied and later finished a successful academic career at the New York and Albany law schools. He early established a law office in his ancestral home at Stony Brook, a home which had been occupied by Mounts for over two hundred years, and later branched out into a larger one in Montague street, Brooklyn, where he did most of his business, although his local clientage was unusually largo. In politics he was a staunch and faithful Democrat. He served his parly ably in many positions, but is best known to Suffolk County as school commissioner. During his tenure of the latter office he Initiated many reforms that have redounded to the success of the general public and have lifted educational matters to a higher level than they ever attained before.

Locally, he was ever active in the cause of education and sacrificed time and money in the interest of coming generations. He was chairman of the local board of education since its organization, and the Union Free School here owes most of lis success to hlR untiring efforts. He was also a prominent member of the local Presbyterian chapel, and as superintendent of the Sunday school will always bo fondly remembered by the young.
