SO LONG IT HAD TO BE PRINTED. Ample Evidence on Which to Find Indictments Fair Warning to the Negligent Officials. (Special to the Eagle.) Long Island City, L. July 3 The Grand Jury this morning made a lengthy presentment to Justice Keogh In the Supreme Court on the condition of the fire alarm systems In the Borough of Queens. The document was so lengthy that it could not be typewritten and had to be printed.

It recites all the details of grievances existing in each ward and the amount of water supply, condition of Are apparatus and the different appropriations made for the maintenance of the volunteer fire fighting systems in Queens. In conclusion the presentment states: "We feel that while indictments might be freely found, upon the evidence before us, the ends of justice may be met at the present time by a plain statement of conditions. By this we do not intend that acts of nuisance or apparently willful official neglect shall be regarded as finally disposed of." The Grand Jury also recommends that the subject be brought before the September Grand Jury, in order that the actions of the fire officials in the meantime can il investigated, to see if they make the necessary re pcirs and carry out pledges to do so made to the present Grand Jury. CRANBERRIES PROMISING. Bloom on Long Island Marshes as Profuse as That Which Preceded Last Year's Good Crop.

Calverton, L. July 3 The cranberry marshes along the Peconic river from Manor to Riverhead are now in bloom and the prospect for another good crop is as promising as it was at the same time a year ago, so the proprietors of the marshes say. Inspection of the marsh of Edward L. Brown at this place shows an excellent condition of the vines upon the portions about fifteen acres from which fruit will be gathered this autumn. They are well cleaned of grass and weeds and give no evidence of the presence of harmful insects.

Earlier in the season there appeared among the vines, worms resembling those which ravage cauliflowers, but a short flooding of the marsh with water from the river, the surface of which, in the canal conducting it around the marsh is three to four feet above the marsh, effectually disposed of them. The same treatment will be' accorded the fire worms should they present themselves later. The inestimable value to the cranberry culturists of this district, of a high stage of water for the extirpation of insect pests, the quick covering of vines and fruit for protection at times of frost and a. fostering, and fertilizing blanket for the marshes in winter, explains the n'ostility of this class of Suffolk's people to the designs of the water department of Brooklyn in its efforts to drain away the county's water for the benefit of the city's population. SIDEPATH LEGISLATION.

Get a Tag for Your Wheel or There Will: Be Trouble. Babylon, L. July 3 At the meeting of ibo Suffolk County Sidepath Commission, held in Village Trustees' rooms yesterday, Treasurer Reimann reported that he had received since last meeting $2,621.97. Bills aggreiting $2,487.90 were received and audited. All the members of the board reported an increased sale of tags, so the secretary was instructed to purchase 2,500 more.

A petition was received from the Good Roads Association', at Central Islip, asking for a sidepath from Islip to Central Islip. It was decided to build the path as soon as the funds in tho county treasurer's hands would warrant. The question of patrolling the paths was considered, and several of the deputies who were present at the meeting were instructed to arrest every resideut wheelman, ha it man or woman, who was caught riding on the paths without a license tag on his or wheel. The chairman and secretary were appointed a committee to arrange a programme for the state convention, which will meet at Shelter Island about September 1. Plans have already been male for a trip to Block Island.

The convention will probably be held on Tuesday, morning, afternoon and evening, and the Elock Island trip taken the following day, thus giving the delegates an opportunity of returning as far as New York City "on" the boat the 'same night. GBEAT SCHOOLS OF WEAKFISH. Sayville, L. July 3 There were many tons of weakfish caught In the Great South Bay yesterday. The big run of fish was the first that has shown up since the fhoet cf boats started upon their season's fishing two months ago.

The continuous cold weather and gales kept the surface of the waters rough and roiled the fish from showing. But yesterday being the first calm summer's day the waters were not ruffled save by the many acres of weakfish which blackened the waters for miles, and the fishermen were wild over the sight of so many fish, and at one look fully twenty boat9 with their well equipped crews could be seen actively, though quietly, encircling the schools nearest at hand, and shortly every sloop was loaded to the water's edge, bringing many tons of fish to Sayville, Bayport and Blue Point shores, where car loads were barreled and shipped by rail to the city markets. MUEDEEJED MAN'S MONEY GONE. Hempstead, L. July 3 The effects of Joseph Carris, the Italian shoemaker, who was shot by a fellow countryman Sunday evening, were searched by the officers Tuesday afternoon under the direction of the deceased brother, who came from Coney Island to take charge of the remains.

Although Carris is known to have several hundred dollars saved up and always made it a practice of carrying a roll of bills amounting to nearly a hundred dollars, less than twenty dollars were found by the searchers. Where the balance of the money is gone is a mystery, as Carris was known to have all of his money intact on the day preceding the duel. The authorities will trace the matter and are expecting to unearth a well planned robbery which was upset by the street duel fought by Ravo and Carris. CHERRIES GOING TO WASTE. Huntington, L.

July 3 llosea V. Carr, a farmer with modern ideas, whose home 13 on the Long Swamp section of Huntington town, states, as showing how prolific the cherry crop is this season, that he has at least 100 bushels of cherries going to waste on his place.

An Islipian's Experience in a New York Police Court. John Whitmog, 45 years old, of Isllp, L. who has long black whiskers, was arrested at Greenwich and West Twelfth streets last night by Policeman Dietrich of the Charles street station, who charged him with intoxication. As he stood before Magistrate Barlow, In the Jefferson Market court, this morning, he twirled his whiskers so vigorously and with such absorbed attention that Policeman Dietrich was constrained to give him a nudge and say: "Stop pulling your whiskers and look at the judge." "They're better whiskers than yours," responded the prisoner, with a considerable show of spirit. "Now that will do." 'said Magistrate.

Barlow. "Why were you drunk last night?" Whitmog answered that he had begun celebrating the Fourth of July, and when he was told that ho had begun three days too early, he replied: "Well, judge, better three days too early than an hour too late." "The excuse won't do $3 fine," said the magistrate shortly. CITIZENS COMPLAIN. Rockville Center, L.

July 3 A little bit of a horse about three feet from the top of his back to the ground, ran away Tuesday and did considerable damage to Mr. Horton's farm wagon that was tied by the town well.

The little pony is owned by Master Emil Johnson. He has a wagon to match the size of the pony made by Mr. Johnson himself out of bicycle etc. The young owner of the horse, being very patriotic, placed a big blanket of red, white and blue bunting on his horse yesterday, SEA CLIFF TROLLEY OPENING. and with this gay fly robe was driving proudly about the streets.

Patriotism, however, did not suit the horse, which is not of American birth nor descent, and when some boys discharged some firecrackers near him. the strain, together with the blanket, was too much, and he ran nwny, colliding with the farto wagon, tearing a wheel off. Johnson also lost a wheel, but how that small wagon and small horse rear a wheel from a farm wagon as the natives. BENHAM ESTATE SOLD. Glen Cove.

STORY TOLD FOR FIRST TIME. Road Was 3uilt by the Long Island to Connect the Village With, the Railroad Depot. (Special to the Eagle.) Sea Cliff, L. July 3 Sea Cliffs fondest hope was realized yesterday afternoon when the new trolley system was formally opened and the first car ran from the depot to the Village.

At 5:20 the train bearing President William H. Baldwin, of the Long Island Railroad and other prominent railroad officials arrived at Sea Cliff and found half the population of the village gathered at the depot to welcome them with a brass band end the fire department resplendent in new Uniforms. Escorted by the village officials and the committee of arrangements Mr. Baldwin and his party proceeded to a flower decked trolley car which was held long enough for the kodak fiends to get views of the start, and then, headed by the fire department, consisting of the Geissenheiner Bteamer Company, the Enterprise Hose Company and Sea Cliff Hook and Ladder Company, the trolley car slowly moved along the route, greeted by cheers and Hag decked residences until Cliffton Park was reached. At this point the party alighted and moved across the park, headed by the band, and were escorted to seats on the grand stand, where Village President F.

E. Sherwood delivered an address of welcome to the visitors and congratulated the people on the realization of their long hoped for trolley system. President Baldwin replied in a short, witty speech, and told the people of Sea Cliff that ho had always a warm spot in his heart for the pretty little village, even though he was once arrested there for the first time in his life, and he told the story for the first time. One evening last summer, he said, the Sea Cliff Yacht Club gave one of its inimitable smokers, at which Mr. Baldwin was the guest of honor.

After the usual programme had been concluded, one of the club members announced in a stage whisper that there would be a little sparring match between John J. Graham. Assistant District Attorney, and Harry Watson. A ring was quickly formed on the floor and the contestants went at it hammer and tcags. In the midst of the fistic battle the door was broken open and a village officer appeared and placed every one under arrest; then, walking over to where Mr.

Baldwin sat. he informed hira that he would summon Mr. Baldwin's friend, Mr. Stenson, and himself lor witnesses. The arrest was only a joke, but it was carried out finely, as there were tut two or three present who knew of the final outcome of the sparring match.

In the course of his address, Mr. Baldwin caid that the Long Island Railroad, in helping' the people of Sea Cliff build the trolley, was heapiDg coals of fire upon their heads, and then he added "soft coal," which brought down the house. At the conclusion of the addresses at the park the march was resumed back to the trolley tracks, where it was expected that the party would board the car and proceed to the beach, where a line Rhode Island clambake awaited them, but Mr. Baldwin told the committee that he would rather march behind a brass band than ride in a trolley car all day, so amid stirring music the Long Island officials and the prominent men of the village marched to the shore. On their arrival they were assigned to seats and the dinner commenced.

And such a clambake as it was, prepared by that famous chef of all such affairs, Nelson Bosworth of Glen ably assisted by F. H. Maidment and Dr. V. J.

Burns, who is the inventor of a sauce that would make Oscar of the Waldorf Astoria turn green with envy. President Baldwin wanted to know the ingredients of that remarkable sauce, but Dr. Burns refused to reveal the secret and said that he would will it to Mr. Baldwin. The fame of that clambake yesterday will hold a lasting place in the mem ory of all who parsco: it.

There were clams, lobsters. chicken, bluefish. green corn in the and nil the i that makes a Rhode Island cla i'. ilce tie best in the world. Although Sea Cliff is supposed to be a rigidly prohibition villare.

FIREB0AT NEEDED. Property Owners Bordering on Jamaica Bay Think One Should Be Stationed There. Rockaway Beach, L. July 3 Owners of property along Jamaica Bay have practically lipenme a unit in deciding that a firoboat should be stationed in the bay, and the matter is to be brought before the Fire Commissioner of the city. At present the many resorts bordering on Jamaica Bay and its tributaries are endangered by a lack of water in ease of fire.

The recent lire at Sea Side Is an example, the pressure registered in the water main being less than an average of ten pounds. With a fireboat moored at Sea Side dock several powerful streams could have been added, and would have been the means of confining the flames to a much smaller area. It is impossible to run a steam fire engine out on any of the few docks at this place to pimp water from the bay, owing to their poor construction. Not alone is this place endangered by a lack of water in case of fire, but the big Manhattan and Oriental hotels at Manhattan Beach, and those of Sheepshead Bay, Canar sle and Bergen Beach are all similarly situated. More especially so are the little settlements at Goose Creek, the Raunt, Broad Channel and Beach Channel along the Long Island Railroad Company's trestle across the bay in danger.

The big hotels at Howard Landing and Idlewild, and the little colony at Brant Point would be wholly at the mercy of the flames should' a fire once gain any little headway. Barren Island, with its many factories and machinery costing millions of dollars, and the resort at Ruffle Bar must also be considered. Should fire once start among these buildings, considerable loss would be entailed. DEATH OP CHARLES C. BAILEY.
