The board of health of Far Rock away obtained a temporary Injunction against Contractor John O'Connor and the company when they undertook the work last fall and the spiles which the company had driven in the creek at that time were removed or torn away by the storms. Mr.

O'Connor this timo has used heavier spiles and made a more enduring work.

QUEENS COUNTY GAMBLING. n's PERFECT Tooth Powder AN ELEGANT TOILET LUXURY. Used by people of refinement for over a quarter of a century. LATEST LOIG ISLAND NEWS, Suffolk County Republicans Gathered in by. Mr.

Piatt, SENATOR HIGBIE AT THE HELM. Congressman Belford, the Candidate for Chairman of the County Committee, Forced to Step Aside for J. E. Over ton The New Chairman Indorsed for the Lunacy Commission A Rebellion One of the Probable Results. (Special to the Eagle.) Elvertiead, L.

January 13 The election of JohnE. Overton of Port Jefferson yesterday afternoon as chairman of the Suffolk County Republican committee, is looked upon as a victory for Mr. Piut'c's friends and a knockout for the ring which, led by County Treasurer John Sherry, County Judge Benjamin Reeve, Senator R. H. Higbie, District Attorney Waiter Jaycox and Congressman Joseph M.

Belford, made out the full slice of county end congressional nominations last fall and carried it through successfully at the conventions. Prior to tie meeting of yesterday i'c had been expected that Congressman Belford would be re elected without opposition, and in such an event It was known that he would accept. Overton and his friend came prepared to flg' Vc, and as a contest was made certain, Belford, who had consented to be the harmony candidate, providing there was no opposition, withdrew, leaving the field clear for Overton. The committee then proceeded to indorse the new chairman for commissioner In lunacy when ibe position now held by ex Congressman Henry A. Reeves expires.

This is another surprise, as Theron L. Smith of Smithtown tad been putting up a good fight for the place. His friends were noc looking for any indorsements by the committee, which bad been called together for the purpose of organization. Smith's name was not even mentioned and Overton's indorsemen't was made by acclamation. Sheriff Benjamin B.

Wood resigned as a member of the committee for the Second district of Babylon. A resolution was passed that aspirants for indorsements for local offices which, really means post offices, must first come before the committee with the approval of their district committeeman. Senator Higbie has now come out squarely against the parties in the deal of last fall and says he will help to bring Suffolk county into line with the state machine. He will probably have the "assistance of State Committeeman Wflliam J. Youngs, with whom he has been consulting lately.

Mr. Overton's Indorsement by the Piatt men makes his appointment to the office of state commissioner to lunacy, a certainty. The action of the county committee yester day will probably result in a serious split in the Republican ranks in Suffolk county. It is said that if Overton obtains his appointment he will resign the chairmanship of the co.unty committee and the fight will then be renewed with perhaps surprising results. The Piatt men say that now that Suffolk county has fallen into line with the state machine some of the political plums of patronage will come this way soon.

Suffolk cbuy Republicans have in the past been notea for their independence of sitate control and it is predicted that there will soon be an open rebellion against the recent attempt to turn lit over to the state organization.

Among Flatbush Republicans the belief is general that a new primary will bo ordered in the Ninth district of their 'ward. As has already been told in the Eagle, the factional fight that has been going on in the Twenty ninth ward Republican camp for almost a year was brought to an issue by the arrest of the Inspectors of election in the Ninth district, on a charge of having refused to accept the vote of Alexander Knight, a member of the district association, at the primary held on December 17 last.

The inspectors were found guilty after a protracted trial before Justice Steers, and this case alone is sufficient excuse, it is' thought, for holding another primary. But there are four other qualified voters who, it is alleged, were not allowed to vote, although regularly enrolled members of the Ninth district of the Twenty ninth Ward Republican association. The delegates to the county committee chosen by the Twenty ninth ward Republican committee are Cornelius Morrison, Henry Kramer, Mr. Evans and C. W.

Tompkins. It is claimed that at least one of these delegates would not have been elected a member of tho general commltttee if the Ninth district primary had been honestly conducted. The whole case is set forth in written protest that was submitted to the county committee last night. The protestants strongly urged that the delegates to the commitee from the Twenty ninth ward be ousted on the ground that the primary in the Ninth district was conducteu fraudulently. They allege that one of the inspectors of election never took the oath and that the oaths of the other two cannot be found; that the inspectors measured the ballot3 of the two factions one ballot being larger than the other on the ballot box as each vote was cast, making known to the onlookers which faction the vote was cast for, by saying, "Theru is another schooner," "One against us," "They have another," and so on.

The protest goes on to say that these inspectors allowed three men to vote who were not qualified voters, and who belonged to the faction to which the Insctors belonged; that Edwin C. Clark. Charles W. Norton, Peter Donelly, Alexander Knight and Thomas Gillen, qualified voters, were not allowed to vote because they belonged to the faction opposing the Inspectors. It is further alleged that when the polls were closed, by reason of the illegal votes and the improper refusal to receive the ballots of certain members, the faction to which the inspectors belonged won tho election by 4 votes if the election had been carried on fairly and legally the opposite faction would have won by 4 votes, Within twenty four hours a protest was filed with the president of the ward committee.

Tho contestants were notified at 2 P. M. on the afternoon of December 21 to appear at 8 P. M. and present their case.

At the appointed time the contestants appeared with counsel, but the hearing was adjourned until the following evening, when it took place before the committee provided for hearing the contest. The committee would not allow the contestants to have counsel, and after a very unfair and unsatisfactory hearing decided that there was no ground for a contest and seated the delegates unfairly elected. To prove that the inspectors had acted illegally, Alexander Knight brought a test suit against the Inspectors and charged that he had been illegally deprived of his vote. The hearing took place before Justice Steers, and upon its termination the inspectors were found guilty of violation of the primary law. The protestants declare that other suits will follow and that they must result in the same way, as the facts are substantially the same.

Supervisor Dunton Drafts a Bill to That Effect to Be Submitted to the Legislature. Long Island City, L. January 13 At yesterday's meeting of the supervisors of Queens county, Supervisor Dunton offered a resolution which was carried by which a bill prepared by himself was referred to the counsel of the board for examination and revision. The general purpose of the act is to Ive the supervisrs power to put the hundreds of tramps that infest the county to work, and thus get some return for the large sums expended annually for their arrest, conviction and maintenance in the county jail. The supervisors are all in favor of the bill and as soon as Counselor Scudder reports It will be sent to the legislature.

It is Supervisor Dunton's intention that a part of the greait estate of the county at Barnum Island may be utilized a site for the workhouse. There the tramps may be set at work breaking stone or doing such other work as may seem proper to the officials. They may also be emplyed on the county roads and in opening them up after a heavy snow storm. The supervisors directed Clerk Seabury to advertise for bids for the franchise for a trolley road on the Jamaica and Hempstead road. They also considered a communication from the grand jury on the dilapidated furnishings cf the.

grand jury room and the absence of accommodations for the witnesses, but nothing was done In reference to it, as the vuib lo uruer me improvements was a tie.
