Capsized on Its Way to a Fire and Three Men Injured. Long Island City, L. March 18 While answering an alarm of Are last night engine No. 160 capsized on Vernon avenue, at San ford street, and was partly wrecked. The accident was due to the breaking of one of the axles.

Travers was slightly cut on the left leg, Brady's left hand was lacerated, and Truesdell escaped with a sprained ankle. Their injuries were dressed by Dr. Brennen of St. John's Hospital. It took four hours to right the engine and put in a new axle.

During that time the cars of the Ravenwood trolley line were blocked, a3 the engine lay across both tracks. The fire was in a two story frame cottage, at 966 Van Alst avenue, and caused a damage of $50. The house was occupied by John Hogan and the Are was caused by the window curtain taking fire from a gas jet. CLUB ORGANIZED. Baldwins, L.

"Any other company?" asked Mr. Reed. "Not that I think of now," was the reply. "By New England Gas and Coke you refer to Henry M. Whitney?" "Not at all." said Mr.

McPherson. "I regret that a certain part of the community look at this investigation, as I might say, from the picturesque side, and they mention Whitney and Lawson and Addicks and all the others. have the highest regard for Mr. Whitney, as I have for the other gentlemen. It Is painful to me that I should be charged with striking at anybody.

I am not. It is the situation I am striking at and the methods which I think are wrong." Mr. Whitney then took the stand and launched forth a very emphatic denial, saying, among other things: "All that this man has uttered is an infamous outrageous lie;" that be had been pursued for three years by Thomas W. Lawson and that Mr McPherson represented not the people of Framingham and his constituents but Thomas W. Lawson.

March 18 The voters of Greenport will be called upon to morrow to vote whether the trustees shall be authorized to raise the sum of $12,000 for the purpose of duplicating the electric lighting plant.

The plant, which is owned by the municipality, has become self sustaining within the first year of its operation by the village, and the demand is so great upon it that it is deemed a safe investment to double its capacity. Trustees S. P. Hedges and W. W.

Griffin and President Isaac Reeves concur in the statement that the electric light plant, which commenced business a year ago with nothing, is now running at a profit of $75 per month, beside giving the people street lights without being taxed for them. There are 129 lights in the village, which cost the village $1,419, a saving of from $4 to $9 for each light as compared to the rates charged in other villages by private concerns. The plant includes a 900 16 candle power dynamo and is producing considerable more light than guaranteed by the machine, and there is an increasing demand for more light. The village water plant is also a paying Institution, and the taxpayers receive the benefit of fire hydrants and other water facilities at no cost whatever, the other expenses being met by the income from private resources. Scrimmage at Primary.

Lynbrook, L. March 18 The contest between the two factions of the Republican party in District No. 13 terminated at the primary, which was held in Treadwell Abrams' Village Hall, Saturday night. The regulars were under the leadership of Sylvester Pearsall, the village postmaster, and Dr. Langdon, the district captain.

The opposition, or, as it was known, the anti Cox faction, was led by Treadwell Abrams and Counselor George A. Mott. While the voting was In progress Elmer Bedell of East Rockaway gave a ticket to a voter and it was snatched away by Robert Davison. Bedell at once grabbed Davison aud threatened to knock him out. At once the hall was in an uproar and everybody was pushing, pulling or striking and it looked as though there would be a free fight.

Constable Abrams, however, Jumped into the midst of the fight and soon quelled the disturbance. It was the most disgraceful scene ever witnessed at a primary In this vicinity. A. Phillips was chosen chairman. The highest vote for the Cox delegates was 159 and the lowest vote for the opposition was 140.

The entire Cox ticket was elected. The delegates chosen were: Clarkson Smith, Lockwood Pearsail, Harry S. Cox, Joseph T. Cornell, S. Smith, Emory Doxsey.

The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the tvell known remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Sybtjp illustrate the valueof obtaining' the liquid laxative principles of plants knowa to be medicinally laxative and presenting1 them in the form most refreshing' to the taste and acceptable to the system. It is.the one perfect strengthening laxative, cleansing the system effectually, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers gently yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habitual constipation permanently.

Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and substance, and its acting on the kidneys, liver and bowels, tvithout weakening or irritating them, make it the ideal laxative. In the process of manufacturing figs are used, as they are pleasant to the taste, but the medicinal qualities of the remedy are obtained from senna and other aromatic plants, by a method known to the California Fig Syeop Co. only.

Whitney is president of the New England Gae and Coke Company, and at a public hearing by a committee of the Massachusetts Legislature, Representative McPherson made this statement: "I undertake to say that not only does the over capitalization of this gas stock affect the price of gas in Bceton, but it also is of interest to the depositors in our savings banks and also shareholders in our national banks. "I venture to say that very large sums of money are borrowed by the Boston gas companies from the banks; money which they do not need in their legitimate business and which they loan out to other companies. It jeopardizes these deposits, as I have said. "I will go further than that and I make the direct statement here that very large suma of money in speaking of $1,000,000 you convey that is a large sum have been set aside for legislative expenses, which no taxpayer of Boston ought to be obliged to pay for. "I am looking at the business side of tho subject, that we are here to protect." By Mr.

Reed of Taunton You eay that $1,000,000 was set aside for legislative business. Do you mind telling us to what companies you refer? "I am willing to be very plain," said Mr..
