TO START WITH TWO 'BUSSES. Boute the Proposed Horseless Carriages Will Follow and the Villages They Will Serve. (Special to the Eagle.) Freeport, L. July 20 In spite of the rr.mor circulated that the Long Island Traction Company is to give up its plan of establishing an automobile 'bus route between Freeport, Mineola and Jamaica and returning from that, village by way of Valley Stream to Freeport, President Miller says the enterprise is in no wise abandoned and work on it is being pushed as rapidly as possible. Blue print working plans of the proposed, horseless carriages have been prepared by the James H.

Lancaster Company of Manhattan and they will soon be submitted to various builders for figures as to cost of construction of a carriage capable of doing the work required for the route. The company expects to have its stages in operation by September 15 at the latest. At the office of the company it was said: "In spite of the setback given to our enterprise by the action of the village trustees of Hempstead in granting a franchise to permit the Mineola, Hempstead and Free port Traction Company to lay its tracks PROPOSED EOTJTE OE THE through the principal streets of the place, we are going ahead. "Wo asked for a franchise to run through the principal villages of Nassau County lor the reason that we wanted to be protected, but the village authorities of Hempstead seem to want to drive us out. "We applied for the consent of the trustees to build short platforms in front of the sidewalks out to the macadam portion of Ihe highway, to enable passengers to get into our carriages' and alight from them to the sidewalk, but they refused to grant any such privilege, although we had obtained the consents of the adjoining property owners.

We may have to change our route so as to leave out Hempstead. "We expect to start the route with two stages capable of carrying sixteen to eighteen passengers each, and to make the round trip every two hours. We will soon add another stage and with three will make the trip every hour and a half. We expect to add more stages as fac as the business will justify it. The run from Hempstead to Jamaica by way of Mineola will be made In fifty minutes.

We will run at the rate of twelve miles per hour. The through trip fare from Freeport to Jamaica will probably be 15 cents and the fare from one village to the next 5 cents. We will connect with Long Island Railroad trains at the principal stations and with the trolley lines at Jamaica. "Our proposed route includes Freeport, Hempstead. Mineola.

Hyde Park. Floral Park. Queens, Interstate Park, Hollis, Wood hull Park and Jamaica, and returning by the south side through Springfield. Foster's Meadow, Valley Stream. Lynbrook, Baldwins, Rockvllle Center to Freeport.

fSpecial to the Eagle.) Point o' Woods. L. July 20 On the same beach where the Atlantic waves cast the bodv of Margaret Fuller. Countess Ossoli. fifty years ago.

there was unvailed here yesterday a bronze tablet In her memory. The tablet stnnds In a pavilion, built on the colonial style, surmounting a high sand Margaret Fuller. dune. At the foot of this dune the surf beats ceaselessly on stormy days, throwing its spray upon the memorial of the gifted woman, whose career it cut off in her prime. The funds for the erection of this memorial wore subscribed by admirers of Margaret Fuller's life and work in all parts of this country and by the summer colony at Point o' Woods.

The money was collected and the work carried forward by the women of the Point o' Woods Improvement. Society, of which Mrs. Lillie Devereaux Blake Is president. The unvalllng ceremonies were brief. At 11 o'clock the Invited guests arrived and were escorted by a committee to the auditorium of the settlement, where Mrs.

Blake gave a brief account of the life of Margaret Fuller, substantially as follows: "Earliest the long line cf brilliant women whose literary achievements have added luster to our nation stands the name of Margaret Fuller. During her brief career her productions attracted attention on both sides of the Atlantic and she was the first woman to win an international reputation. It must be remembered that she met her death some years before Uncle Tom's Cabin was published and before the long line of women who have since won fame had made 1 their mark In the century. "It was a wonderful career that was cut off In its early prime on this inhospitable shore. As the associate of Emerson, of Longfellow, of Hawthorne and those remarkable men of genius who made.

Boston the Athens of America, she edited the Dial, the organ of the Transcendentallsts. as these advanced thinkers were called. Hor remarkable "Conversations" were the first lectures ever given by a woman which dealt with the higher criticism of art. of education and of ethics. Her association with the New York Tribune as literary critic gave her a wide fame and when she went to Europe the MARGAEET was received with recognition in the literary circles of London and of Paris.

"In Italy she was deeply interested in the struggle for Italian independence under Maz zlnl. There she met and married the Marquis Giovanni Ossoli and there her child was born. It was from Genoa that she cm barked with her husband and 111 tie son in the ship Elizabeth. She was then but little past her fortieth birthday. The voyage was tedious, and when the New York coast i at last, sighted a dreadful storm arose and the frail little vessel was driven on the sat.ds Just off this shore.

For two days the doomed family bung in the rigging looking for help that never came and finally the ship went to pieces and the. tragedy was complete July IS. ISaO. It is most fitting that a memorial should be erected here to this gifted woman, for It, was to this shore, to these dunes that her last, sad looks must have been directed. Who can tell what mortal agony that great heart suffered when she found herself face to face with death while she was yet in the early prime of a life thai seemed to stretch before her In a fair prospect of happy years.

"No record survives of how she met. the I awful doom which by the enielet decree of fate sbe was compelled to contemplate for so many hours before the final tragedy, but we may be sure that she who had me' the disasters of her hard and laborious life with unfaltering courage and untiring fidelity to duty was able to retain the noble heroism of soul to the last, dark moment of the help less and anguished struggle ihe relentless ncenn." Then Charles W. Hand, president or the Point o' WoodR Associet'mn. made an address, and Mrs. Charlotte n.

Wllbour. the vice president of Sorosis, related some personal reminiscences of Margaret Fuller. Letters from Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Mrs. Julia Wnrd Howe.

LONG ISLAND PEACHES. Another Good Crop Promised in Hunt ington. Half Hollow Hills, July 20 Large as was the yield of peaches In this neighborhood last year, young orchards which have received proper care now promise another good crop the present season. The model orchard hereabouts is ten acres of four and five year old trees on the farm of Charles Reeve. Mr.

Reeve Is 311 exemplary husbandman and his crops nil show seasonable planting and careful attention. Notwithstanding that the spring weather was wet, cold and backward, his field corn is well advanced, with some of it as tall as an ordinary man. tasseling out and well set for ears. His other crops give evidence of the same care, as does also the peach orchard referred to. Last year was the first in which he expected fruit from that orchard in anything approaching to abundance, and at about this time then he estimated that he would gather from it a tnousana nasKets.

The estimate was very wide of the mark, for the total yield of the orchard was three thousand baskets. Tne extra large size to which the fruit individually developed ac counted for the unexpected quantity. Many peaches weighed a half pound each 1 amcoccoBcgil OlOtJJ and one specimen weighed three quarters of i a pound. From one Crawford late tree five baskets were gathered. The large and fair character of the fruit also counted in favor of price, it all being sold at 75 cents and better per basket to stores, hotels and sum mer residents at the south side of the Island i between Wantagh and Patchogue.

The trees are again well set with fruit 1 nnrl now annear to BrOmse reOet ton of last year's yield. The "June drop," how I cver. which Is not yet over. Is heavier than it was last vear. and Mr.

Reeve moderately places his "expf'r'lons at les3 than two I thousand which he thinks would be i better for next prospects than If there should be more The Carman and other orchards of Hunt ington township, though mostly of old trees. all promise many peacheR. DEMOCRATIC CLUB OFFICERS. Jamaica. L.

D. Wlnthrop and Charles W. Cox. practically all of the highways are macadamized, it seems that the automobile stage is likely to monopolize the business. The automobile stage Is admirably adapted for a transient business such as is likely to be had over the route proposed above.

It would hardly pay, it is said, to maintain a trolley service with its expensive power house, poles and wires and heavy tracks over such a route. The Long Island Traction Company was incorporated last winter with $30,000 capital. Applications were made for franchises before the Board of Supervisors, who decided the operating of stages required no permit, and to the trustees of East Rock away, Rockvllle Center, Freeport and Hempstead. The two latter villages granted permits to operate the stages and build stands for passengers for twenty nine years. Soon after these permits were granted the Mineola.

Hempstead and Freeport Traction Company, which sought trolley franchises three years ago, reappeared before the trustees or Hempstead and received a franchise. The village trustees of Freeport have also granted' a permit to tho trolley company, but must submit to conditions yet to be prepared by the village counsel. MAMMOTH CLOVER. Riverhead, L.
