Milburn and Agawam Pumping Station Knocked Down to Freeport. Freeport, L. September 16 The flrBt sale of property for unpaid village taxes was conducted yesterday afternoon by Village Treasurer E. B. Helland.

Included in the parcels were a number belonging to the Borough of Brooklyn, on which Milburn and Agawam pumping stations are located.

The village authorities contend that the assessment roll of Brooklyn water works property has never been protested against, as is the privilege, of every aggrieved property owner, and under this condition the saje was held, the village through Counselor George Wallace bidding in for fifty years all the Brooklyn property and other parcels. The borough's portion of Freeport's taxes amounts to about $2,600 yearly and the village authorities will make a vigorous fight for its payment this year, notwithstanding the exemption clause contained in the Greater New York charter.

County and Assembly District Conventions Called Democrats Hope to Elect an Assemblyman. (Special to the Eagle.) Patchogue, L. September 16 The Republican county convention of Suffolk County has been called to be held at Riverhead on Tuesday, October 3, at 8 P. M. The First District Republican Assembly convention for the towns of Brookhaven, Riverhead, Southampton, Easthampton, Shelter Island and Southold will be held at the Court House.

Riverhead, on October 3 at 8 P. M. The Second District Republican Assembly convention will be held at Fireman's Hall, Sayvllle. on Thursday, September 28, at 11 A. for the towns of Huntington, Smithtown, Isllp and Babylon.

As the time for the conventions draws near the contest between the Republican factions over the nomination for district attorney grows more bluer. It is now a conceded fact that two thirds of the delegates from Brook haven town and all the delegates from Isllp, Babylon and a majority of those from Huntington town will come out at the county convention and indorse the name of George H. Furman of Patchogue as against Livingston Smith of Smithtown, the nominee of the old organization. The story is circulated by District Attorney Jaycox. the leader of the old organization, that Furman promised that he would withdraw from the race for the district attorneyship upon being elected as counsel of the Town Board.

Mr. Furman says that he only consented to withdraw upon being informed that all the leading Republicans of the county requested him to withdraw for the sake of harmony: but he says he has since learned that the representation was wholly false, and he Is now In the field again. County Treasurer John Sherry will probably be renominated, although it is said the old organization has been beaten In Easthampton. Solomon Ketcham, the candidate of the west end of the county, has withdrawn in favor of Mr. Sherry, it being generally understood that Mr.

Ketcham will receive the indorsement of the friends of Mr. Sherry for County Clerk next year. Riverhead will support the arrangement upon the understanding that County Clerk William R. Duvall will be appointed Deputy County Clerk. Ex Supervisor I.

Wilson Ritch of Port Jefferson has, however, already announced that he is in the field for the office of County Clerk. J. Sheridan Wells of Greenport Is the candidate of the old organization for Sheriff and A Matthias of Northport is also In the field. It is alleged by Southold town parties that if all of Huntington town presents a solid front for Matthias, Wells will promise to appoint the former under sheriff and will promise him the assured support of the old organization for the office of sheriff three years hence. John Fitzpatrlck, for eight yearB postmaster of Patchogue, is in the field for superintendent of poor, and Eugene Strong of Isllp will be supported by the delegation from his town for the same position.

Dr. E. S. Moore of Bay Shore announces himself as a candidate for coroner, and says he gave way to Winfield Scott Bennett three years ago, upon an understanding that he would have no opposition this year. The doctor is indignant at the report that Bennett is willing to have the nomination come his way again this year.

Frank Overton ot Patchogue, C. B. Partridge of Northport and Nicoll Floyd of Mastic are all In the field for the office of school commissioner In the Second District. It looks now as though Mr. Floyd would win.

He le a prominent Republican and has a large following throughout the district. In the First District, C. H. Howell will probably be renominated. Assemblymen J.

N. Hallock and Regis H. Post will probably be renominated. The Democrats of the county are hopeful of electing a part of their ticket this fall and will put etrong candidates In the held. Samuel P.

Hildreth of Babylon Town and Edward Bailey, are named for the nomination for county treasurer; R. S. Pelletrau, a bright young lawyer of Patchogue, for district attorney; Henry E. Bunce of East Isllp, for county superintendent of poor, and H. M.

Packer of Bayport. for superintendent of poor. Supervisor Edward Dally of Babylon is named as a strong candidate for Assembly in the Second Assembly District, and strong efforts are to be made to elect him. vvora nas Deen received from the New York State committee that aid may be expected in the contest. Intense dissatisfaction is expressed by Republicans throughout the county at tie early call for the primaries, several of them having been held last week, long before the convention was called.

This move of the old organization leaders is denounced as an effort to perpetuate ring rule. Ex Congressman Bel ford, who won at the Riverhead primaries last week, has announced himself as a candidate for chairman of the county committee, but his early primary movement has hurt him in other parte of the county. The antl organlzatlon element of the local Republicans hae issued a card stating that whether the present movement to nominate George H. Furman for district attorney be successful or not, they will not oppose nor contest the indorsement of E. A.

Cowles as postmaster at Patchogue, and that, Instead, they do heartily Indorse him for the position. This announcement Is brought out through the circulation of the report that the attitude of Editor Canfleld of the Advance In supporting the independent movement was for the purpose of gaining for himself the Indorsement over Mr. Cowles, for the position of postmaster to succeed Charles E. Rose. It is true that Mr.

Canfleld desired the indorsement, but he has been drawn off in his fight in the support of Furman on the ground that it would Injure the independent movement. All elements of the Republican party are In favor of Cowles for postmaster, and the consequent result of a movement to knock him out of the indorsement would be to injure Furman and others ot the anti wing. The above mentioned statement Is signed by Coroner W. S. Bennett, Justice Smith W.

Conklln, Overseer of the Poor George L. Chichester, Town Trustee Will T. Danes, Editor Canfleld. Orin B. Smith of the town committee, Charles H.

Odell, who represents the baymen; Moses F. Tiger', representing East Patchogue; De Witt Conklln, representing the boatmen; George H. Furman, George H. Odell, Jacob Thur ber. the leader in the River avenue district; J.

B. Sweezey and Fillmore Baker. The publication of the names of the Bigners, shows the exact strength of the opposition, and rt is by no means a small part of the party. All have been well taken care of by the party, but are tired of the ring control of politics, they say. The announcement of the indorsement of Mr.

Cowles. the antls say. Is In no way a withdrawal of their opposition, hut Instead they are In to win at the primaries, which are to be held here on Friday and Saturday of next week. The announcement has taken the wind out of the regulars, as they backed on the alleged opposition to Cowles in their efforts to gain support Trom the members ot the ami element.
