The Rev. Justus O. Worth's Religious Zeal Leads Him to Take to the Wheei. Sea Cliff, L. August IS Nearly a week since the Rev.

Justus O. Worth, who is over 82 years of age, began to take bicycle lessens, and to day bids fair to become an expert cyclist. Mr. Worth's friends were very much surprised to hear of his undertaking, and some expressed a fear that he might fall and injure himself, but Mr. Worth himself Is perfectly satisfied to take his chances and seems to be quite pleased with his new investment.

To an Eagle correspondent Mr. Worth explained his object in learning to ride and, it is a very laudable one. He has been for some years a resident of Glen Head, in which village there is no church nor any regular worship. Mr. Worth, who has been a Methodist minister fifty three years, has been in the habit of holding meetings and ministering to the spiritual needs of the people there.

His removal to Sea Cliff threatened to cut short this work, as It was a difficult matter to get to and from Glen Head. So Mr. Worth determined to ride the wheel. He began without any fear and with a resolution to master the ins and outs of cycling and has succeeded better than many a younger and more active person. It is doubtful if there is another cyclist of Mr.

Worth's age on Long Island, and tho Sea Cliff people feel quite proud of him. OBITUARY LONG ISLAND. Winfleld, L. August 18 Dr. William Reb man, one of the best known practising German physicians, died at his home in Maspeth on Monday in his 65th year.

R. Barnes, electrical expert of the State Board of Railroad Commissioners, recently made an investigation in the matter of the complaint of the Non Partisan Taxpayers' Association of College Point, against the New York and Queens County Railroad Company, regarding the operation of ears on its College Point branch. For some time the service on this branch has been anything but satisfactory, and passengers were subjected to considerable Inconvenience. The Taxpayers' Association tried in vain to induce the railroad company to give the people of College Point better service, and all efforts to settle this matter in an amicable way being futile, complaint was made to the State Board of Railroad Commissioners. The electrical experts' report was received yesterday.

In it he reports that Joseph It. Beetem, vice president and general manager of the New York and Queens County Railway Company, stated that the cars on the College Point branch are operated on a ten minute schedule In the early morning and in the evening, and during the clay on fifteen and twenty minutes' schedule, except during the late evening, when a half hour schedule is in operation. The electrical expert states that he finds from a personal inspection, that the trip record furnished by the railway company at his request, as to schedules, is correct. He recommends a ten minute schedule between 8:50 A. M.

and 10 P. M. 47TH VETERANS REUNION. Rockaway Beach, L. August 18 The Veterans' Association of the Forty seventh New York Volunteers of 1861 held its thirty fourth annual meeting and reunion at Phillips' Pavilion, Holland Station, yesterday afternoon and evening.

Storm Last Night Was Unusually Severe for This Season of the Tear. Oak Island, L. August 18 The southerly gales and the extremely high tide of last night moved thousands of tons of sand along the Southslde beaches and effected strange conformation along tho coast. The surf rolled in heavily. It is said that the great waves were largely due to the hurricans raging in the Atlantic several hundred miles to the south of this coaat.

The rear of the surf could be heard nearly acroes the Island. Owing the the action of the sea several new inlets have been formed between Great South Bay and the Ocean recently and old ones have been closed. Great additions are being made with every storm to Rockaway Beach. At Moriches the breakers could be seen rolling against the outer beach. Long Beach, L.

August 18 The tide rose to an unusual height yesterday. It completely submerged the outer beach, and the smaller waves broke under the new casino. For a time it threatened to damage the building, but the tide receded, leaving a big salt pond between the bathing platform and the outer beach. IT the wind should blow hard from the eastward while the tides running so high serious damage to the Casino will no doubt result. The waves struck the beach with great force, and the roar of the surf could be neard for miles.

Rockaway Beach, L. August 18 The strong southeasterly wind prevailing for the past twerjty four hourB has piled up another lot of garbage on the beach. From Rockaway Point to Bdgemere the beach is strewn with decayed vegetable matter, cast off mattresses, trunks, bwxes, barrels, waste paper and other rubbish. In some places it is a foot deep and presents a disgusting sight. Much indignation is expressed.

CALLED ON MR. ROSSITER. Flushing Citizens Ask Him to Establish a Five Cent Fare. Flushing, L. August 18 The Joint committee of the Flushing Association and the Ingleslde Improvement Association, consisting of J.

D. Brockway. D. Sanborn, George H. Sweeney and A.

W. Beasley, yesterday called upon President Hosslter of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, to confer with him in relation to the 5 cent fare for a continuous ride from Flushing to the Manhattan end of the Brooklyn bridge. President Rossiter informed the committee that the Flushing division of the Brooklyn trolley system is not on a paying basis and that consequently a reduction of fare would be inconsistent with good business principles. He offered as a compromise to sell commutation tickets at $3 per month. This concession, however, will benefit only those people travel over tho road every day, but to them it means practically a cent fare.

The members of the committee, it is said, are not satisfied with this concession and still have hopes to secure a 5 cent straight fare. The regular fare to Brooklyn and return Is 20 cents, amounting to $6 a month. BUTCHERS WILL FIGHT. Flushing, L.

or i I i Protest Against Election of School Commissioners at Baldwins Causes Friction in the Board. NEW MEMBERS LOCKED OUT. School House Closed to Them. So They Held a Meeting on the Stone Steps. (Special to the Eagle.) Baldwins.

L. August IS This place has two school boards in one as the result ol a rumpus caused by Janitor William H. Ray nor protesting against the eligibility of the election held on August 1, when Dr. "William J. Steele and Charles Wilier were elected.

It will be remembered that about a week ago tie board met for organizing. Dr. Steele and Miller did not take the oath of office, owing to the protest against them. President Edwin H. Payne, Wallace H.

Corn well and Mrs. Rhoda Glover, the hold over members of the board, thought Raynor's protest should go before Superintendent Skinner "at Albany. This was done by Raynor's counsel and all interested weTe expecting a decision every day. The old members of the board wanted to get the difficulty settled speedily and conditions loked favorable to that end, when the new members were joined by Wallace H. Corn well, and on Tuesday night they repaired to the school house for a meet lng.

President Payne, Mrs. Glover and Clerk Trectwell Smith failed to attend. A big padlock was lound on the school house door ana the trustees could not enter, so they sat on the stone steps and transacted business. Dr. Steele was chosen president and the Rev.

T. m. uavis, pastor or the Methodist Protestant Church, clerk. A resolution was adopted requesting Clerk Smith to turn over all school records to his successor. The old faction of the board, Mr.

Payne and Mrs. Glover, do not Intend meeting with the new faction until the dispute is settled. Janitor Raynor in his protest alleges that the annual meeting held August 7 was not regularly called; that the proceedings weTe Irregularly conducted and that the votes castv electing Dr. Steele and Mr. Miller were Superintendent Skinner has the papers.

The affair has created much excitement throughout the village, and it is claimed that Raynor's protest is due entirely to the turning down of his father in law, Frank Golder, and William M. Hawkins, two members of the board for the past three years, who secured him his position at the school. CHEAPER FREIGHT RATES. New Company to Run Boats to MTorth ville to Cart Produce. Riverhead, L.
