POTATOES REACH 70 CENTS.

Eastpart, L. October 17 Buyers of potatoes here have been offering 70 cents bushel for the tubers during the past week, the price being the highest paid since th opening of the season. The rapid advance in prices since last month, when they commanded only 45 cents a bushel, has led many farmers to anticipate- an even higher price, with the result that they determined to hold their potatoes until a later date. A well known commission merchant, who handles large quantities of potatoes for the export trade, said that they had probahljr reached their highest point, because the could be Imported from Belgium and Canada at thts price in almost unlimited quantities. HOWARD H.

"UNCLE STORY It Was Told at the Hunters' Garden Meeting and No One Questioned Its Truthfulness. (Special to the Eagle.) b. October IT The seml-rentennial meeting of the Hunters Garden held at Brewsters' Ixts on Thursday, as told in the Eagle of yesterday, iras a more notable gathering than might be Imagined from the necessarily brief report of the meeting then published.

There were present fully 123 of the old-time hunters of the great middle section of Long Island, and their descendants, and the gathering was remarkable, among other things, for the Ureal age of many of the participants. More than a dozen who have passed four score were mixed in the crowd, and several lozen whose three score and ten and three score have gone by were also included. One was there who is 90. The trip to Brewste.rs Lots from almost Any given point is worthy of record. These lots are, as was styled by one old hunter.

RAZING THE RAPELYE MANSION. Familiar Landmark of Laurel Hill Section Being Torn Down to Make Room for Freight Depot. Laurel Hill, L. October 17 One of the oldest and one of the handsomest residences in the Second Ward, the old Rapelye mansion In this village. Is being demolished, and the large hill upon which It stood being cut away to make room for the Pennsylvania Railroad, which corporation, it is said, is to build a large freight yard In ihis locality in the near future.

This house was built by Jacob Rapelye, a prominent resident of Brooklyn, and father of the late Augustus Rapelye of Newtown. In 1850 Mr. Rapelye purchased a farm of ninety-six acres in this place and named the vicinity Laurel Hill. On the top of one of the highest hills he built what at that time was the finest mansion In the town. The exterior walls were of solid concrete, and the interior was divided into fourteen rooms.

The ceilings were 16 feet high and the main hall was 12 feet in width. The entire bouse was fitted with ga3 pipes, steam heat and water, with other conveniences which at that time were considered a luxury. The greatest peculiarity of this old mansion was a sub-basement, or an underground story fitted up with blind doors and windows. This was done because Mr. Rapelye built the house with the intention that It should be a homestead for the family for generations to come, and if the hill should be cut away.

another story would be revealed to view and ready for instant use. The house in the old days was surrounded with lawns and beautiful flower beds, summer houses and drives, and at the entrance stood a picturesque lodge. The elder Mr. Rapelye died before all of his plans for beautifying the place-were carried out. On account, of the establishment of the different factories in the place in later years most of the property was sold off In building lots.

The fumes of the chemical factories destroyed all vegetation and the place became undesirable for residences, and for a num ber of years the house has been unoccupied. The laborers who are tearing the old house down are meeting with many difficulties on account of the solid construction ot the house. The large timbers can only be moved a few inches at a time and the massive walls are giving the men no end of trouble. In a few more weeks this grand old homestead will be entirely obliterated. A BRIDE'S LONG JOURNEY.

Crossed the Atlantic to Wed Lover She Had Not Seen in Fourteen Years. Xorthport, L. October 17 A somewhat romantic wedding took place in this village on Tuesday, the ceremony being performed in Trinity Episcopal Churcn by the Rev. Charles E. Oragg.

The groom was John Lewis and the bride Phoebe Jane Benn, and both ore natives of Tlpperary County, Ireland. Some fourteen years ago Lewis left the old country for Australia to seek his fortune, and recently decided to come to America. He left behind him in Tlpperary his sweetheart, promising to send for her as soon as fortune had favored him. Last week she arrived in this country and immediately came to this village, where Lewis Is employed, and their, marriage followed. LONG ISLAND BREVITIES.

and Other Lines Sunning Out of New York. I. (Special to the Eagle.) Jamaica. L. October 17 The new winter time table of the Long Island Railroad, which took effect on Wednesday last, gives general satisfaction all over the Island.

Commuters are particularly well pleased over the retention of the best exi rcss trains of the summer time table and as a result a much larger number of city residems than usual are remaining through tae month of October at their country homes. Many say that If the present, excellent service is continued they will stay out on Long Island until the holidays. The very full summer time has been preserved to all points forly miles and more out on ihe island, and over four hundred trains daily leave Long Island City nnd Brooklyn, in various stations on all the divisions of the road, more than leave ihe Grand Central Station. The suburban cars put on Ihe Atlantic avenue division, while nut as large aud commodious as the standard cars, make better time between Jamaica and Brooklyn than was possible with the heavy coaches heretofore in use with the tracks In their present condition along the line of the Atlantic Avenue Improvement. As Ihe trip between Jamaica and Flatbush avenue takes but thirty minutes, the narrower cars arc not looked upon as a serious inliiction The new policy of the Long Island Railroad managers, which iias resulted in giving more than twice the number of daily trains that were run on the schedules of six years NEAR RIVERHEAD.

ago, and an ever greater ratio of increase on the Oyster Hay and Port Jefferson branches and main line, has resulted in an enormous increase of travel and the growth of population all along the several divisions is most marked. Not less notable is the high character of the new residents, hundreds of whom are men of wealth" and culture, who have built havlsome residences and effected very great landscape improvements in the thousands of acres of hills and valleys and plains of their handsome estates. Their example has spurred up the older residents lo like improvements until the face of the whole country has become changea. President Baldwin has continually advanced the train service far beyond wnat the immediate traffic returns would warrant, nnd even beyond what his nssociate thought was prudent, but every such increase has been justified aud Hip hundreds of passengers gathered 011 the station platforms at Oyster Hay, Nassau, (lien Cove, Sen Cliff, Huntington, Babylon nnd Bnyshore, to take the old established west bound express trains leaving at from lo 8:30 A. M.

are as much tiie result of the increased number of trains at other hours as in the fnster iime and better service of the trains themselves. The increase of in ihe number of passengers carried in 1 he fiscal year ending July 1. 1 over the number carried the previous year shows that tn1 increased accommodations has paid and that Long Island Is rapidly becoming the suburban resort for the business men of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Under the new winter time table. Tiabylon, thirty-seven miles from Long Island City and Flatbush avenue, Brooklyn, has twenty-one trains each way daily, and four of the best express trains each way make the run In from 53 to 57 minutes.

The heaviest commutation train, leaving Babylon at makes the run of 37 miles in minutes. Frepport, 23 miles from the western terminals, has 17 irains each way. and the best express trains make Ihe run in t'roin 37 to 4(1 minutes. Amityville. 32 miles, has IS irains each way ihe best express trains making the run in from -li 10 53 minutes, On the Oyster Bay branch there are 13 Irains each way daily and two extra trains on Saturday and one extra on Wednesday.

The irain leaving Nassau. 17 miles from the western terminals, at arrives at Long Island City in 44 minutes and at Flatbush avenue in 5ti minutes. Other express trains do nearly as well. Eight trains run daily each way on the Port Jeffer.ion branch ami a midnight, or theater, train on Saturday nights. The best express trains make the run between Huntington and Long Island City.

There are IS irains each wav between Crand Central Station and Peekskill, a lown of inhabitants, on a four track line. the New York Central and the best express tialnr, making the run in 1 hour and 7 mln-I utes to I hour and 15 minutes.

MONTAUK FISHERMEN'S LOSSES. The Havoc Wrought by Recent Easterly Gales Just Becoming Known Many Gears Ruined. East Marlon, L. October 17 Reports are just coming In of the damages to Ashing interests at Montauk, by the terrific easterly gales of last, week and up to Monday of the present week. No boats left Orient or East Marion on Monday, but on Tuesday the wind had abated suHleicntly tor the crews to K't in stores and ice, and sail away for Montauk, where a stenr of ruin was presented.

Not one of the deep sea gears had escaped injury. All were badly torn aud In some instances they were ripped clear of the stakes. When it is rcmembeivti that one of these large, deep-water gears, when set and ready to fish, represents in some cases, an outlay of more than some idea can be had of the financial loss of such a storm as that of last week, entails upon Oe men who own and operate them. Hie large firms, of course, lost most heavily, but a number of smaller interests sutler more, because, in some cases at least, iheir entire outfit, w'im the exception of their boats, has been swept away. Tile Vail Brothers and Phillip S.

Tuber, of Orient, and Mecsrs. Kdwin H. Tutlitll, Isaac Kd wards, Edward Haekeit, William Leek and others of East Marion, have suffered heavily. Some of these men are already bringing home Ihe best parts of iheir wrecked gears, but some of the nets are so badly torn, as to not be worth saving. Storms arc expected by the Mshrrincii at this season of the year, but it is rarely that a storm of such violence and long duration as (he one just passed is experienced before November, when most of the large gears are safely stored away.

A few of the earlier hunters were already on the grounds. Brewster Tuttle had started four big kettles and was busy peei-ing potatoes, chopping onions and preparing eels. He had many assistants soon after, for every one who arrived was set to work.

Eckl'ord J. Robinson of Eastporl was chairman of the committee ot arrangements. With assistants, he was stringing Hags and generally fixing up the grove to welcome the guests. Shortly the most tantalizing odors were beginning to arise from the kettlcB on the wooden crane over the lire. In four, eel chowder was cookiug; in two more were big crabs, aud still another was coffee.

Dinner was served shortly after noon. A long tattle hail beeu set in the grove. The simplicity and ncxt-to-nature style of the 'service and menu, and withal its characteristic healthfulnrss. were one of the chief charms of the whole affair. Tin plates and tin cups were provided.

One stirred his coffee with the same spoon with which he ate chowder, hut what did it matter? In the palmy days of deer hunting on Long Island the game was very plentiful on Ihe Uiuogue plains. After a lime it was decided by some of the old hunters to organize a hunters garden association. The central meeting place for the hunters was at Brewsters' lots. It was agreed among the hunters that when the season opened, about ihe 1st of October, all who wanted to engage should report at the lots and from "there start out on their shooting. Along with the successful shooting came the social features and the association was formed to meet twice a year, swap yarns and have a good dinner of homely, yet well cooked, food.

Meetings were held at the lots about four years previous to the real organization of the association, or some fifty-four ago. "I'ncle" Wells Tuttle. A. Brewster Tunic, D. Parshall Tuttle.
