James M. Milne from the office of principal of the school. Many protests have been sent to Superintendent Skinner, the senators and assemblymen from prominent educators, various boards of education, the alumni of the school and the many friends of Dr. Milne, referring to the injustice of his dismissal. The local board numbered four in favor of his remaining as principal and five for his dismissal.

Ail but six out of 450 graduates of that institution will unite in sending a petition to Superintendent Skinner.

P. MeCanna. reporting for the gas committee, stated that the members of that committee had held ono conference with Colonel Stoadmaxi, superintendent of the Fiatbush Gas Company, with a view to getting a low er gas rate in Flatbush, and had appointed another date for a meeting. Superintendent Steadman had stated that gas could not be furnished in Flatbush, with a profit, at less than $1.25 per 1,000. One thing he had learned, Mr.

MeCanna said, that was a surprise to him. The street lights furnished by the Union Gas Company cost 99 cents per 1.000, While the gas used in tho houses supplied by tho Flatbush Company cost $1.25. Henry B. Davenport, reporting for the Ocean avenue Improvement committee, said that the city authorities had been waited nn and they had expressed a willingness to aid in bringing about the proposed improvements but. could not proceed in the matter until legal C'Di'tructlons were removed.

They Say That the Success of the Scheme of the Long Island Water Company Will Ruin Most of Their Important Industries and "Will Take the Flavor From the Celebrated Blue Point Oysters. (Special to the Eagle.) East Moriches, L. March 4 The Long Island Water Company has not yet sounded a retreat in its war on Suffolk County's water Bupply and Suffolk's people are ready to support their representatives at the state capitol in fighting the intended seizure its ponds and streams and the utter ruination many, of the industries of the county. Although defeated by the active work of the representatives of Suffolk County at Albany last winter, the company is still at work and hopes by Senator Wray's bill to acquire by condemnation the waters of Patchogue Creek, Swan Creek, Connecticut River, Forge River, Little Seatuck River, Great Pond and other waters in Brookhaven and Southampton. An old resident, who has made a thorough Btudy of this question, said when spoken to on the topic by an Eagle reporter: "The evils to follow a depleted water supply in Suffolk County have been shown repeatedly, but a few might profitably be mentioned' as a reminder to those inclined to make light of the dangers menaced by the projected grab.

Tap and drain Patchogue, Swan, Connecticut and Forge Rivers and how long would the world famous Blue Point oysters command the best price of any kuown oysters, not only here, but in Europe? Any oyster shipper will answer, 'Just long enough for epicures to miss the peculiar flavor, which would disappear with the lack of fresh water streams from the sandy back lands, and the oysters have the strong salt water flavor of the Chesapeakes or All the oysters are taken from their beds and placed near the mouths of some of these streams to give them the pleasant flavor common to Blue Points before being shipped. This is indisputable. "The duck grass of the East Bay is the identical wild celery of Havre de Gras of Maryland, and if the supply of fresh water from the streams Is depleted this would disappear, and with i't the choice, gamier kinds of wild ducks from their haunts, or, if they remained, they would he forced to feed on the same salt water tood as the despised coots, auldwives and kindred kinds. The growing of Pekia ducks in this county has already reached a magnitude excelled by few industries in the county and t'he same duck grass imparts to them the delicious flavor so well enjoyed by the consumers. Every s'tream emptying into East Bay has its duck ranches, and if these streams are shut off this Industry would be seriously crippled, if not destroyed.

"The cauliflower, the celery, the strawberry, and, in fact, many of the choicest market products of Suffolk, are grown on Eandy soil, where an abundant supply of water is indispensable, and much, of this water comes, in dry from the spring water lying but a few feet below t'be surface, and it is brought to the surface, or, at least, within reach of plant roots, by absorption, or, as tl.e schoolboy's philosophy teaches, by capillary attraction, end a lowering of the streams must be followed by a correspondingly lowering of the sub surface water and a consequent deficient supply for the farmers' products." FOR A JOINT DEBATE. Rockville Center, L. March 4 The Non Partisan League of Rockville Center held a veil attended meeting last evening in Library Hall, Village avenue. President John Brun nemer presided and Secretary Robert W. Dar bee recorded.

Several candidates were elected to membership and a committee was appointed to make arrangements to hold a ratification meeting next Wednesday evening. Mr. Sea bury, Citizens' party candidate for village president, has been invited to attend this meeting and meet Mr. Scott, league candidate, in joint debate. It is believed that he will accept the invitation.

The other speakers will be Messrs. Frederick M. Matthews, Charles C. Baylis and Frederick W. Clifton.

There will also be music, vocal and instrumental. HUNTINGTON RAILROAD SOLD. Stock Delivered Yesterday to the Long Island Railroad Company Trolley Line to Be Built. Huntington, L. March 1 Yesterday afternoon about the entire 3,000 shares of the Huntington Railroad Company, par value $10 each, were delivered 'to the managers of the Long Island Riailroad Company at their offices in the borough of Manhattan, and the road will to morrow pass into the actual possession of the new management.

A delegation of the directors of the Long Island Railroad will visit Huntington, and at the offices of the Humting ton Railroad Company, in the Brush block, elect a new board of directors. All the stock books, aceoumts and records of the company will be turned over to tho new beard, which will appoint a manager of 'the road to take charge of its affairs until change is made to a trolley line. The Huntington Road is three miles in length and connects the harbor wHh the village and the village with the Long Island Raiilroatl staition. It was opened to travel July, 1, 1890, and the first day carried over twelve hundred passengers. It has carried over ninety thousand passengers per year.

It has nevor failed to earn and pay a dividend since It was first built. No other rural street line in 'the state makes as good a record in the report of the Railroad Commission. Its entire capitalization is 530,000 stock and $26,000 bonds. The management will build a power house and station ait Huntington Harbor and replace the present tracks with heavier rails and ttes. It is expected to be in running order for the next summer's traffic.

I his power to have the lamps lighted. J. C.

"It appear." continued Mr.

Glcdhill, "that uiu oi urooiiiyn in tne year of loll spent iiyi iiiiLin suttiii iiu.oou anil an ad ditional SS0.000 for lighting parks. The new Board of we are told, has allowed Brooltlvn S732.tiS". for liirhts Thin inr.i,,d. about $30,000 for lighting parks. This amount is aooiu less man tne neputy commissioner aslccd for.

which was based upon what the city paid out last year. Notwithstanding this severe cut in figures Mr. Walton assured us he was trying to make the best of the situation and was already examining the various lights of the borough, which will probably result in a readjustment in sonic of the lights being transferred where they will do the most good. We. therefore, recommend that this association pass a resolution again calling the deputy commissioner's attention to the necessity of providing additional light, for the locality herein mentioned." Tbo matter was referred to the committee on lighting, of which Mr.

Glcdhill is chairman. Reporting on the apparent delay in putting in basins and connect big the.n with the new surface sewer, Mr. Ckdhill said by the terms of the contract the niK i.n v.o:"l: en basins was suspended during the winter muntiis, but would lie resumed soon.
