6 THE BROOKLYN. DAILY EAGLE. NEW SATURDAY, ABIIL, 27, 1901. VILLAS OEf THE SOUlfS. THE FOmmSW SOUTHAMPTON AND THEIR LONG ISLAND PROGENY.

ST. JOSEPH'S AND IN THE BRENTWOOD PINES THE NEW CATHOLIC SETTLEMENT THERE. An Actors' and a Bridgeport Colony Established Near Port Jefferson. Port Jefferson, L. April 27 Improvements are now under way on the west side of Port Jefferson harbor which will probably result in changing that forest clad section into a continuous village.

The Bay View Park Company, tindery the management of Bernard J. Miller of New York and W. H. West of Port Jefferson, purchased, some time ago, fifty two acres of water front, having the pavilion and steamboat dock for a center, and have built roads, cleaned up the uhdertirush and laid out the whole tract in building lots, a number of which have been 3old. The tract originally comprised fifty two acres, as stated, but four acres and a fraction were sold to Dr.

Petits for his summer school, and four more to the Loper Brothers, builders, of Port Jefferson, who will erect pottages on then. All the lots 'oh the water front, have been soldi prices ranging from $350 to a lot. Seven of, thero' hare been sold to. theatrical people. Next tq the actors' colony is Camp Bay view, a Bridgeport colony, 'cpmpose'd of several wealthy 'Bridgebort retired business men, some of whom Were formerly members of Camp WoQdbipe, also composed qf Bridgeport people, which adjoins on the nprph.

These' men Vin probably build sporir as will the members of ttie: actors' colony; Another" tract of from twenty five to thirty acres further south and fronting on the Se taupet rqad, qwned by Captain p. F. Jayne and Scudder Jayne. has recently t)epn placed pii "the' market. tSvo' rbds have been opened through' "ft.

rfhe forests cleared and' lots surveyed and plotted. W. H. West has nearly closed the saje of another tract of twelve acres further north, comprising" the first point beyond the residence of Heh'fv Tincjcer. If sold the buyer will probably build a fine dwelling upon it.

Daniel Foster, a of Christopher, went to Quoguei' about twenty miles from the old home in Southampton and there built a homestead which ls still decupled by his descendants to the fifth generation. This beautiful bid homestead is situated at Qui ogue Indian name for little clam on a neck of land between Quogue Indian name for large clam and Ketchaboneck now called Westhampton Beach and Is owned by Mrs. Mary King' Foster Dohson. who makes it her home, with her sister, Mrs. Lj'dia Halsey.

Herman Daggert Foster, the fifth descendant from Christopher, left the Quiogue homestead and settled in Riverhead in 1SJ4: He married a (laughter of Nathaniel Wood hull and their son, Nathaniel Woodhull Foster, is related to the renowned General Nathaniel Woodhull, who nobly laid down his life for his country during the War of the Revolution. Nathaniel Woodhull Foster of Riverhead has added honor and renown to the ancient and honorable name of Foster. Whenever there Is any organization to further the beet Interests of Long Island, and especially Suffolk County, Mr. Foster's name is always the leading one. As president of the Suffolk County Agricultural Society, he built for it a wide reputation and as president of the Suffolk County Historical Society, he works earnestly and untiringly to preserve the priceless records of Long Island history.

The Riverhead Savings Bank owes its origin tji Mr. Foster's business foresight. His son. Warren W. Foster, is another of the successful men of Long Island.

He is now judge of the Court of General Sessions, New York City, and is adding new honors to the name of Foster. Sylvester Miller Foster, second son of Nathaniel W. Foster, has two children, Stanhope and Alma, who complete the present descendants in direct line 'from Christopher of Southhampton. ROMANCE OF THE WREQK OF THE BRIG BRILLIANT. FEW of those who daily pass the Bishop homestead, on Fire Island avenue, Babylon, know that the small, one story kitchen extension has a history more interesting than that of most buildings hereabouts.

The kitchen is the cabin of the brig Brilliant, which was wrecked on the South Beach, opposite this village, on a winter nigjit nearly seventy years ago. The ship was commanded by Captain Nathaniel Webber, a veteran mariner, who served on the privateer Favorite during the War of The Brilliant was bound from Liver ppp! tq New York with a number of immigrants aboard, and was driven ashore during a tierce snow storm. It so happened Captain Ezra Sammis of Babylon, who had" gone to' the beach on a gunning trip, the wrecked vessel next morning arid went to" the rescue of her imperiled officers, crew and passengers in a South Bay fisherman's 'hoat, "which he had with him. All were carried ashore in safety, and when the storm ceased, wore taken across the bay to The brig was wrecked. Her cabin wag secured by T.

Piatt Carll. a merchant here at the timej and conveyed across the bay on It was used for a "time as a school house, and in it some of the older citizens pf the Babylon of to day received their "first "scboolln'." it was also occasionally occupjedi as a church. After it "HE Fosters of Long Island are descended from Christopher Foster, who embarked from London in 1635 on "the vessel Abigail, at the age of 32 years; with him his wife, Frances, FOSTERS' arms. aina children, Rebecca, Nathaniel and John. IJe wag made' a Freeman at Boston in 1637, and 60 acres of land were allotted him, when he became a resident of Lynn.

In T.651. he came with his family to Southampton, L. and there became one pf the group of Englishmen who settled that historic town. There are 39,000 Fosters in the United States, and "those who are not descended from Christppher Foster of Southampton acknowledge Reginald Foster of Ipswich, as their progenitor. The origin of the family is Flemish and is traced to the wife qf William the Ppnq.ueror, who was a Foster.

The family is also traced' back to An acher, Great Forester Qt Flanders, "who died in S37, who was in charge' of "tjSie preat Forest and from whom the family derives its name qf Foster. A long list of Fosters served honorably in the Revolutionary War, in the War of 1812 and in' the Civil War Herman Daggert Foster, born in 1792, the fifth descendant from Christopher, went to Sag Harbor to help defend he'piape from the" British in the War pf 1812. Christopher's eldest son, Nathaniel, took up his residence in Huntington' and ceased to be used for educational and religr ious services, the late Gharles. Bishop purchased the small structure and removed, it to his where it now stands. A rather romantic incident in connection with thp wreck of the 'Brilliant is thus told: Some years after the' brig liad "'left her' bones" on the beach.

John J. N. Webber, son of her master, married 'the daughter of Captain Ezra Sammis, who" rescued'' the officers and crew of the Brilliant from death. At the wedding, Captain Webber was introduced to Captain Sammisi an3 "remarked to the latter: "We have met beforo under circumstances." Captain Sammis seemed doubtful as to any previous meeting, and Captain Webber then related the incident of the wreck on the South Beach. It seems that the brave South Bay fisherman was too busy saving life to inquire the name qf tfie captain of the wrecked vessel, and had never known nor did he recpgnize, in the father in law of his daughter, the man whose life he had saved some years before.

The next day Captain Webber was taken to the little cabin school house, and as "he entered the room and recalled his voyages in the' Brilliant and the incident of the wreck, he was moved to tears'. Captain Webber has long been dead, and his son was, and probably is how" an inmate of the" Sailors Snug "Harbor. But the Brilliant's cabin is 'fntact and is serving a "useful" "if 'prosaic, purpose'. the upper floor at present is unoccupied. In the basement are two bowling alleys, which are well patronized, and recently a kitchen and a complete cuisine have been added to the The (re Vooms are.

$6,000. every cent of which was paid by Father Murray before he was sent by the bishop to the more pretentious parish at New Hyde Park. Before leaving the village, however, Father Murray succeeded in removing whatever adverse feeling he encountered in the form of opposition to the erection of a. Catholic church in the village, and many of those who first interfered with his work became his warmest friend's. Father Murray was succeeded by the Rev.

John M. Kiely, who was at one time'an "assistant at the churches of the Assumption and Visitation, it) Brooklyn, anil later assistant pastor to Dean Donnelly, at" Flushing. Father Kiely further improved the li'ttlj? church. He introduced a steam heating plant! erected a handsome set of' of "the cross and substituted a rich brass altar railing for the oak one that he found there, in the summer of 1839 he received permission fiom Bishpp McDonnell to visit tiis native land, and during his absence the' Rev James H. Kelly, who had alsq'assisted'FatSer'Mur ray, was made acting pastor.

Several times since then Father Kelly has officiated at the church, where he has made many friends. Centrai Islip has been made an out mission to the Brentwood church. There is an asylum located there, and Father Kiely celebrated mass there every Sunday morning, beside attending to the services in his own church. appointed at that meeting, of which Mr. Van Nostrand was a member, waited on the vicar general, the Right Rev.

Mgr. McNa mara. the rector of St. Joseph's Church, Brooklyn. He was greatly impressed with the earnestness of the committee and promised to seDd a priest to Brentwood every Sunday until the return of the bishop, when he said he would bring the matter of establishing a permanent church in the village.

On the following Sunday the Rev. Edward F. Hannigan, Mgr. McNamara's assistant, was sent there and a small store adjoining the old post office in the village was rented for the occasion and the services were well at This was continued until the return of the bishpp from Europe. Bishop McDonnell was greatly pleased with the new Brentwood flock and he at once decided to establish a parish in the village.

The parish lines were established and the Rev. Henry F. Murray, who was then first assistant of St. Stephen's Church, Brooklyn, was appointed as the first resident pastor. This was about the middle of October.

1895. Father Murray had no easy task before him, but he was blessed with health and before leaving the village nearly two years later he had overcome the opposition that had developed among some of the older residents to the establishment of a Catholic church in the village. There was very little money among 'he few Catholics of Brentwood and Father Murray visited city churches and collected money for the new enterprise. This necessitated his absence on Sundays and the Rev. James H.

Kelly, one of the assistants at St. James' pro Cathedral, was' sent by the Dtshop to take charge of the services, which were continued in the rented store. Father Murray succeeded in collecting several thousand dollars from the Catholics of the city, and with this, despite the opposition, succeeded in buying fourteen of the choicest lots in the village. It was shortly after this purchase that the magnificent Brentwood and Austral hotels and its cottages became the property of the sisters. It is said that this latter purchase was engineered by Mr.

Van Nostrand. Father Murray at once secured plans for a church building, and within a short time the present St. Anne's Church, which now' adorns the village, was erected at a cost qt about A gether that he could find in the vjeinity of the village and organized a Sunday school, the children being gathered on Sunday 4fternopiis in one of the houses of the village and there given instruction in the catechism.

April 27 The spring season of Eastern Long Island this year Is unusually backward Continued cold northerly winds and wet weather have put general farming conditions and work at least two weeks behind hand.

The lateness of promoting weather has probably been of benefit the prospect for peaches. Peach trees examined in this vicinity show the fruit buds J.0 be in good condition, free from disease and with a very small percentage of damage from winter killing. In the opinion of Mr. George F. Tuthlll and others, unless some disaster occurs later through severe frost at the blossoming time or other cause not now apprehended, the peach crop ot Southold township will be THE SCALLOP SHELL BUSINESS.

PICKEREL FISHING WEDNESDAY. Patchoguc, 1j.

April 27 The pickerel flailing season will open May 1. The best grounds arc In (he eastern part of Brook haven town and the west section of Riverhead town, the many ponds in those vicinities being filled with this gamy fish. Th close season for pickerel are the months of March and Aol'U. WITHIN a few years a distinctly Catholic settlement has developed at Brentwood, L. where ten years ago a Catholic was almost unknown to the older residents of the village.

It was in 1895 that the first mass was celebrated by the Rev. Edward F. Hannigan. assistant pastor of St. Joseph's Church, Brooklyn.

Since that time probably the best sites in the village have been purchased by Catholics, who have developed their holdings, and a further development will be the erection of St. Joseph's ln the Pines, an academy for young girls, which is in course of construction by the Sisters of St. Joseph. The sisters now own the, HotelAustral, and its annex, Hotel Brentwood, and several colleges, which formerly were the property of a. company of speculators, that erected the buildings as a popular winter resort, similar to Lakewood.

N. J. The village is located in a beautiful pine section and is conceded to be one of the healthiest sections of Long Island. But after the hotel company had spent thousands of dollars in erecting the hotels and cottages and beautifying the grounds, the speculation proved a failure, and the property was recently purchased by the Sisters of St. Joseph, whose attention was called to the place as an ideal location for Us academy.

The sisters had been looking for just such a place and quickly made an offer for the property and their offer was accepted, and they took immediate possession of the properly. The place has since been used as a retreat for the sisters, and also by the priests of the diocese Who formerly held their retreats in St. John's Seminary on Lewis avenue, Brooklyn. A section of Ihe property has also been set aside for the erection of a seminary for the training of students for the Catholic priesthood. It was before the establishment of the religious community in the village, however, that the few Catholics living in the vicinity began the agitation of the etstablishment of parish.

The most active in the work was Charles Van Nostrand, whose father was a convert, to that faith. Before there was any hope of building a church Mr. Van Nostrand collected all the Catholic children to IN LONG ISLAND CHURCHES. Baiseley Memorial Window to Be Un vailed To morrow. Jamaica.

Preparations for the league building have begun and when once the work is started it will be pushed to a speedy completion. The league is the largest and probably the most Influential of Long Island clubs, and the fact that it has a building of it's own, the money for which has been raised by' the efforts of its members, will add to its prestige.

There is not a parish bp, Long Island that was established with such a small beginning as the Brentwood parish, that has' shown such remarkable development. Since the establishment of the parish the village has thrived, and the npniber of its summer' boarders has largely increased. A wonderful change has also come over the villagers, and many of those who opposed the building ot the church are now anxiously looking forward to the completion of the new convent and academy and are also waiting with interest to hear of the determination of Bishpp McDonnell to establish the seminary tor the theological students. When all these icqr provements are, completed, Brentwood, frpni being one of the least heard of of Long Inland villages, will become one of the mogt flourishing in Suffolk County, as the establishment of these institutions will naturally improve its business prospects and materially Increase the land values in the vicinity.
