Members Say the Office Is Unnecessary, Expensive and a Burden on the TaxpayersA Memorial to the Legislature on the Subject Sixty seven Tramps Breaking Stone in the Jail Yard Plans for a Hospital Building. (Special to the Eagle.) Riverhead, L. 1.. January 25 The Suffolk County Board of Supervisors met in the Court House here yesterday and took decided action on thL' question of the advisability abolishing the ollice of coroner in this county. It was decided by the board that this oliice is entirety unnecessary and a burden on the taxpayers.

It was brought out in the discussion of the subject that the holding of Inquests in nine tenths of the accident cases and of deaths that occur suddenly are of no use in this county and are a foolish expenditure of the people's money. The following resolution was adopted by the board: Whereas. The office of Coror.er has become .1 great and needless up cf the eoumy, by re.isor. of tne large number Inquests and invesg. iti i.vKint: in Lhe year Just nearly quit unit Whereas, pir.ion of this hr ard that a much costly systen: ear.

The bond and coupons which have been paid during the last year were destroyed by the chairman in the presence of the board. A resolution was offered by Dr.

Hulse and adopted by the board to the effect that the committee appointed to act with the sheriff In seeing that the prisoners are kept busy at breaking stone in the jail yard, have a shed erected to protect the prisoners from the weather. This is done so that the men may be made to work all the time. No drones are to be allowed among them and no idle days on account weather are to be tolerated. There are now sixty seven prisoners in the Jail. The first day at stone breaking occurred yesterday and a big pile of road material was the result.

Plans were submitted to the board by Architect George H. Skidmore of Riverhead for the new hospital building that the supervisors are talking of erecting in the jail yard for the use of sick jail birds. These plans were discussed somewhat, but it was stated that the building erected from them would be far more elaborate than was needed, and it is doubtful if they are accepted, although the matter went over. The plans handed in were for a handsome stone building, 25x30 feet and to cost in the neighborhood of $2,500. SEA CLIFF NOTES.

QUARRELED ABOUT A GIRL. Young Ruland Took Miss Griffin From Her Steady Company and Got a Thrashing. Sayville, L. January 25 A warrant was issued to day for the arrest of Frederick Hawkins on complaint of "Wray Ruland, who charges him with assault. Officers Terry and Wells are looking for the young man, who succeeded in eluding them and getting out of the village yesterday afternoon.

Hawkins is a well known young man of this village and his victim, Wray Ruland, is the son of Isaac Ruland, foreman of the Lewis Oyster Company. For many months past young Hawkins has been paying attention to Miss Maggie Griffin, a popular and beautiful young girl, who resides with her parents on Main street. Last Sunday Hawkins, who is somewhat of a sport, went to Patchogue In company with a friend and they were merry when they returned to Sayville. The young men decided to attend the services in the Congregational Church, Hawkins saying that he was going to escort Miss Griffin to her home after church. Young Ruianu was also at the church and although not so well acquainted with Miss Griffin, was one of her admirers, and after the services was over sho accepted his escort and he saw her home.

As the young couple passed through the gate leading from the church they were seen by Hawkins. After escorting the young giri homo Ruland started back to his residence on Foster avenue, and while passing through a dark part of th street was met by Hawkins, who. he says, attacked him and with a terrible blow under the ear knocked him unconscious and then beat him as he lay on the ground. Hawkins ran away and young Ruland walked to his home and had his injuries dressed by his mother. To day a warrant was sworn out for Hawkins' arrest, but the young man cannot be found.

Justice O'Leary Admits He Is Not an Expert in a Supposititious Case F. W. Wright Says the Advent of the Road Has Enhanced Property Values About Four Hundred Per Cent. Child Bitten by a Mastiff Atlantics the Champions. (Special to the Eagle.) Thomaston, L.

January 25 The condemnation proceedings instituted at the request of the Great Neck and Port Washington Railroad wers continued here yesterday Tho property of Charles Hehu was the first case eontsi dered and each sid3 presented only one important witness. Edward T. Allen of Ros lyn for Mr. Hehn estimated the value of the property at $2,400 and considered it would be worth just half that amount when the railroad had acquired the four tenths of an acre it desires and had completed its road. Justice Denis O'Leary valued the property at $2,300.

but thought the damage infjflicted by tha road, including the value of the land taken, would not be more than $300. Mr. Helm's total holding is one and four tenths acres. C. A.

Van Nostrand, attorney for Hehn, grew quite eloquent over the danger and damage caused by a railroad and excitedly asked Jus Lice O'Leary if he thought the property would be a suitable place on which to raise a family of children, after the railroad had been built. The young justice, who has no children, declined to answer, on the ground that he was not a qualified expert, and the commissioners upheld him. After dinner the case of Alfred C. Bayles of Fort Washington was taken up. Mr.

Bayles values two and eevea tenths acres sought to be taken at $2,700. Lorenzo A. Smull, P. W. Wright and Edwin Henderson each valued the property at $850.

Mr. Wright had bought thirteen acres opposite the Bayles property for $3,500 and considered he had paid a fair price for the land, if no railroad was to be built, but he considered the advent of the road had enhanced property in the vicinity about 100 per cent, and he had sold lots from his purchase on that basis. The meeting was then adjourned, on account of the sudden illness of Commissioner W. C. "Woodburn.

The next hearing will be held in the same place next Monda morning at 10:30 o'clock. NOTES FROM QUEENS BOROUGH.

FISHING IN JAMAICA BAY. The bill introduced at Albany yesterday by Senator Koehler prohibiting the catching or killing of ftsh in amy manner, except angling, in Jamaica Bay, Flatlands Bay and Grassy Bay is said to have been the result of a case tried in the Flatbush court last Five Canarsie fishermen were then arrested at the instigation ot the state game and fish protector while usLng a eeine in the waters off Bergen Beach. "Wnen the case came into court the fishermen were charged with violating a state law by taking fish from the waters of Jamaica Bay with a net.

The accused set up the defense that they were not at work In Flatlands Bay at the time of their arrest and, therefore, not guilty of the crime charged. This kind of a defense was unexpected and the prosecution asked for an adjournment in order that certified maps m.Ig;h.t be obtained from Washington. When the case finally came to trial the counsel for the prosecution introduced a coast survey map. The opposing counsel at once set up the claim that the map did not enter into details and Chait Flatlands Bay and Grassy Bay were separate and distinct bodies of water from Jamaica Bay and therefore not governed by laws relating solely to that bay. Several very ancient maps were then introduced to prove this claim.

The evidence was very convincing and the decision rendered by Justice Steers was in favor of the fishermen. There was talk of appealing the case, but nothing more was heard of the matter. Now the bill faihered by Senator Kcehler Is supposed to have been drawn at the instigation of the state authorities and in order to prevent seine fishing in any part of the waters adjacent and opening into the ocean through inlets. It was reported ait Canarsie to day that the bill would he opposed. ATTACKED AN OFFICER.
