Babylon, L. August 9 The Islip Dramatic club came to Babylon lost night and played the three act drama "Nevada, or the Lost Mine," to a crowded house. The cast was: Nevada, the crazy man, Frank Rudel; i Passengers Object to an Extra Three Cent Fare. THE CONDUCTORS DISCRIMINATE All Patrons of the Brooklyn Heights Road. It Is Claimed, Aro Not Treated Aliko Flatlands Business Men Com plainPresident Rossiter Will Be Ap pealed to A Children's Water Carni 1 val Dogs Fight at a Dance.

A strong of resentment against the Hmoklyn Heights railroad company has de velnped in Flatbush and Flatlands within the i lust few days. The cause is the extra three cent fare sharped by the company from the junction or Nustraml and Flatbush avenues to Flatlands. The distance, about five city blocks, is so short that passengers from inatbush, or those coming from the opposite direction, frequently walk, not so much for the sake of saving the 2 cents, as to show that they consider the additional fare an extortion. Now and then some determined passenger refuses to pay it and dares the conductor to put him off the car. He Is not put off.

When a conductor was asked why he discriminated in the collection of the extra fare he replied: "That's the orders from the oflice." A known resident of Flatbush said to tho writer this morning, "President Rossiter of the Brooklyn Heights Railroad company is one of the brightest and most promising young men In the railroad business to day. hen be assumed his important post tlon a short time aro he Imniediatidy set nlnint inn It In ir inmi ivemfrirw In thu of tho ilrunklyn Helghis system. One'of his chief aims was to alleviate the popular feel lug which Justly or unjustly existed, and to some extent still exists against his read because of the strike. Now why does he permit this double face business on the Flatbush avenue line? No one who does not patronize that line can have an Idea how exasperating it Is to be compelled to pay 3 cents more from Nostrund uvenue to Elat lantls, when you can see the end of the line within a few blocks? I know from what I have seen that the revenue which the company derives from the extra fare is so ridiculously biiiall that the fact of Its collection Is the more incomprehensible, considering that it causes so much hard feeling against tho company. Why, I've seen a woman with five children from every one of whom the conductor wanted to collect 3 cents extra after pasisng Nostratid avenue, get off the car and walk the rest of the distance through a blazing hot sun.

Mr. Rossiter certainly could not do a more popular thing for himself and his company than to chop off that 3 cent fare and give the patrons of his line a 5 cent ride to Flatlands. In Flatlands business men and property owners claim that incalculable Injury is done to their interests by the cent Tare. During the summer months particularly the loss of business to the place on account of the double fare is very large, us anyone can see who takes a ride on a flat lands' car and watches the number of passengers, having taken the ride merely for pleasure, that get off at Nostrand avenue and return to the city. If there had been no extra fare they wuld have gone to Flatlands, perhaps, spend money there, and carried away In their minds the Impression that It was a desirable place for suburban residence.

CHILDREN IN A WATER CARNIVAL. There was a water carnival yesterday afternoon at Connolly's beach Fort Hamilton, in celebration of the birthday of Swimming Instructor Leo Von Stoll. Abi.ut thirty children took part, and all afternoon dived, iloated and raced for prizes. The feature was the drill and march in tho water of tots from years old up. The maneuvers were all gone through to the music of the First artillery band.

Single file, pairs, in threes the children swam am! also by dexterous mov formed a large circle. An amusing feature was Dan, the Instructor's assistant, dressed In woman's clothes. He weighs 2f0 pounds and appeared in a small row boat off the end of the pier. Standing in the stern he was profuse In his bows to the spectators, who did not recognize him at. first, until ho finally lost his balance and fell overboard.

The children swam to his rescue and succeeded In rolling him on the decorated float. Many still thought Dan was a real woman, but when lie disrobed on tile pier to wring out his wet frocks ho finally displayed his form In a neat bathing suit. There were eleven contests In all. Alec Thompson started them oft by winning from a lad named Friedland. Mabel Blankley then won from Stella FYledland.

Four boys entered the next race, which was captured by William Martin. Nat Rogers. Allle Hilda and Toots' Hanson finished In the order named. Ot orgian Farrell and Evelyn Blankley gave the most exulting contest of the day. the former winning by one length.

Malcolm An dru? then won from two other boys. Ethel and Lily Blanckle.y. aged 0 and years respectively, then struggled for honors." They were the smallest, swimmers of the day. The younger one won quite handily. Walter Schlelss.

who has only been swimming one month, raced with Mamie Higglns and de feated her. A diving exhibition followed. Alec Thompson and Mabel Blankley showed how easy it was to bring up three and four eggs, which had been thrown in the water. Next a lloat ing match attracted attention. Six girls lay on their hacks without moving a muscle and It was many minutes befor the judges decided on Mamie Higglns as the winner.

This part of the programme concluded with an exhibi tion by tho little girls. To pick the swimmer with the most perfect stroke was an undertk I Ing the Judges tutild not decide. The honors were finally divided between Annie rtaker. Hulda Hilda. Oeorgina Farrell and Evelyn Blankley.

The children after they dressed adjourned to the beach and refreshments were served. A surprise was sprung on the in structor when h. was presented with good fat purse which he grac fully acknowledged. FIGHTING HOGS FI'SET DANCERS. A hull dog and a gnrdon setter created the biggest, kind of a rumpus at the Avo.

a villa. 1 Hath Beach last There was an informal hop going on and the lawn was crowded with giic sts. The dogs attacked each ether so suddenly that half a dozen women were S' nt sprawling by the infuriated animals as they rolled over am! over. For fully five minutes the fight continued before they could be separated and the hail altog. 'her the best of tS battle.

Ten minutes after the first encounter the setter again hunted up his antagonist. The bull showed the white feather by running In and among the dancers ate! spectators, with the setter at his heels. There were more tumbles and excitement. Both dogs were finally taken home. AGENTS WILSON AND CRAM PTON HELD Agents Robert J.

August When wo think of the good things enjoyed by our ancestors, there is a grim sort of satisfaction when we 1ind a good thing they did not have. One of these good things is the Iloekaway oyster.

The genuine Rockaway is a product of the luu'r llalt the century and the plo neers In the Rockaway oyster industry aro still living and following the same business. The only places from which come the genuine Rockaway oyster are tho series of creeks the remains of what w'as once Hempstead bay on the south side of the town of Hempstead. Thirty years ago the bars along Broad Channel and the smaller creeks were famous clamming grounds and people camo for miles from the Interior of the island to dig clams. In fact, "goin' clammin' was the event of the season with the farmers who lived in the interior. All this is changed and the poor clatnmers have been driven from their favorite grounds and must either toe or long for them In deep water.

The local historian has failed to record the name of tho man who first discovered the fact that oysters could be successfully planted In this locality. Among the pioneer planters, however, were Joseph LaDgdon. Lewis I'earsall. William Combs. Charles Combs, Robert Combs, Captain Oliver Doxey.

Alonzo Bailey, Nathaniel Terrlll and William Abrams. nearly all of whom are living, proving both the healthfulness of tho business and the recent origin of the Rock aways. After a time the town of Hempstead took control of the lands under water and leased them to oyster planters. This system still prevails. The seed was all bought and brought in the bay, there being no natural beds.

It came from Blue Point. Newark bay and from the East river Norwalk, Bridgeport and New Haven. The seed Is now purchased almost exclusively at the latter places and Is what Is known as East river stock. The average price Is from 00 to 75 cents per bushel. It Is brough In sloops in the spring and thrown overboard on the beds or bars.

The full and partially grown oysters are taken up during the fall und winter and marketed. A very large proportion of the inhabitants of Freeport, Oceanslde. East Hockaway, Fenhurst and Woortsburgh now, depend upon tie' oyster industry for a living, and it is from these villages all of tho genuine Rockaways are shipped. They are taken to Brooklyn in wagons or sent by freight or express, packed either In barrels or bags. Among the leading shippers from Ocean side are I.

Terrlll. E. Terrlll. S. Terrlll.

Daniel Terrlll. Oscar Terrlll. John Langrlon, George Wood and Matthew Wood. It Is estimated tha't 25.000 bushels arc handled from this place. At East Rockaway the leading shippers arc S.

W. Abrams. Floyd Johnson, Doxey Bros, and Charles Combs. They handle about 000 bushels each season. These are the genuine.

Simon pure Rockaways and they are planted on the same beds and drink In the same stream as the oysters which have made the name famous throughout the civilized world. As a rule, they are shipped directly to Europe or Interior cities or delivered to private customers such as tho Astor house, the Hoffman house. Delmonl co's and the Union League club. Only comparatively few of them ev find 'heir way into the open market. Atlantic dock Is another landing and drinking place frr Rockaways.

The shippers are Clark Ahrrims, Milton Abrams. Henry S. Abrams. Daniel Abrams. William Abrams, Watts, John Pine.

Frank Fowler. William lie Mot: and Morrill De Mott. About bushels aro carted from this dock or shipped by rail fnm Lynhrook. At Woodsburgh ami there are a few planters, aniens them aro Richard Brower and Ebit fornweli. The total quantity of Rockaways produced in a season will probably not exceed iee.OiH) They sell for from $1.2.0 to per bushel, Art i The secret of the superiority of the genuine Hock away oysters Is the rapidity their growth and the drink of fresh spring water which Is given the ni before they aro shipped.

This whitens, freshens and fattens them without detracting materially from, the delicious Uavor which they get from thetr beds In the salt waters of the bay. Floyd. Johnson, who Is one of the largest planters and shippers, says: "The outlook for the oyster business was never better. Oysters have grown remarkably well and are in su perlatlv condition. We anticipate niarlt' and a profitable and busy sea son Bvry year of fleoisands of bush els of oysters art sold for Rickuways whica.

The oystrf which are produced along tho 'south side of Lons island are tise.ally called. either Blue Points ur Rockaways. The for tner are grown in the Great Sooth bay and.

ENRICHED BY THE RISE IN LAND. Queens County Market Gardeners Taking in About $20,000 a Day at the Present Low Prioes Death of James Crullishauk, an Old Resident of Hempstead The Telephone Circuit of the Island Completed. (Special to the Eagle.) Jamaica, L. August 29 The average number of market wagons passing through the village of Jamaica, daily on their way to Wallabout market, Brooklyn, according to a tally kept by the Eagle reporter, is 360. The average value of a load even at the low prices of the past twrj weeks is about $30.

ThiB makes the respectable sum of J10.800 per day paid by the wholesale dealers of Wallabout market every day to the farmers of Queens county east of the village of Jamalca. An almost equal amount goes to New York and Brooklyn markets along other lines and points west of Jamaica. The New Harlem market is getting a large amount of produce from Queens county by way of College Point ferry, and Goose market, New York, at Twenty third street, and other markets as well as stores and private customers who are served directly by the wagons, take very large quantities, and many farms west of Jamaica village are heavy growers of produce. It is safe to say that the farmers of Queens county receive a daily average of not less than $20,000 from the proceeds of their sale of potatoes, cabbage, beets, turnips, sweet corn and other products during the entire year, for the Queens county farmers go to market with their stuff all through the winter and spring. Hundreds of them have lately gone Into tho raising of flowers, herbs and other special products which are profitable, and find a good market In the cities.

It is seldom that the prtcee of produce rate as low as it Is at present and the business Is usually a very remunerative one. The old farmers of Queens county are as a class well to do, having snug bank accounts, and most of those who have passed away have left to their sons and a line farm well tilled and a comfortable sum in bank and railroad and ferry stocks. Many of the farmers in the towns of Jamaica, Newtown and Flushing and the newly acquired territory have become rich from the rise in the price of land. The greater number of older farmers In. Queens county are well prepared for such periods of low prices as are now prevailing, and they are calmly awaiting a rise in prices which invariably comes with the advent of the winter months.

A prominent banker said to an Eagle reporter: "I do not see Why Long Island farmers of either Queens or Suffolk counties need feel as though they are ruined. The two savings banks at Southold and Rlverhead villages have on deposit nearly $4,000,000. which represents the savings mainly of farmers, and the national and state banks of deposit in Greenport and Rlverhead alone have among their assets over $6000.000 to tho credit of the farmers and merchants ot Che two towns of Soutbold and Rlverhead." SPEONK WILL REMAIN SPEONK. Speonk. L.

August 29 "Speonk won't be Remsenburg nor anything else but Speonk so long as you live, you can bet on that," said one of the old and prominent residents of this quaint little village to an Eagle reporter at the station this morning. The opposition to any change of name grows dally, for the older inhabitants hereabouts love the old Indian names. On investigation the matter shows that Speonlc was recognized as Remsenburg for about twenty four hours by the post office department at Washington and it came about this wav: Tne "Rev. Mr. Morgan came to Speonk a short time ago as pastor of the Presbyterian church.

He Is a young man fresh from col lege. He never liked the name Speonk and began to agitate the question ot a change. He also thought thi congregitlou ought to have a new church, a more commodious ana better edifice. William Remsen is a wealthy summer resident of Speonk. and be offered to build the people a new church if they would name the place Remsenburg In his bnor.

Jtr. Morgan prepared a petition for the change of name, stating that a $10,000 church would be the result. He circulated it about the village, and the petition was forwarded to Washington without ay opposition, where the department recognized the change. Austin Corbin refused to change tho railroad station an that started the opposition movement. People became greatly excited and harsh things were said of the young pastor.

A paper was quickly prepared and circulated in opposition to his, and many who had signed his paper, seeing nothing but a $10,000 church ahead of them, were Boon ready to oppose the change. The principal leaders in the opposition movement were Captain Des Martes and Lewis Tuttle, both prominent in Speonk and well known throughout the county, and the result was that the opposing petition was forwarded to Washington and the post office was at once changed back to its old name.
