5 THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK. FRIDAY. JULY 28. 1911.

MISCELLANEOUS. JUDGE HILEKETH BETTER. ACTOR A SUICIDE. Queens Borough and Long Island ir. Lvon STARTS PARISH HOUSE sV SENT TO TRAINING SCHOOL.

Have Paid 78 1-3 Per Cent, of Total Levy of Charles King, Bridegroom of Pew Months, Ends His Life. Despondent because he had no work, Charles King, 35 years old, an actor, living at 35 Franklin street, Maspeth, shot himself through the head this morning. He had been married but seven monthB and made his home with his wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Frederick.

The former also is an actor. Mrs. Frederick and her daughter had Just left the house when they heard a shot and, running back, found King dead on the floor of his bedroom. The dead man had Just received a letter offering him employment In Newark, and why he should have shot himself when employment was in sisht is a mystery. He left a disjointed, incoherent note, in which someone mentioned only as "Henry" was named.

The writer evidently had a grudge against "Henry," for he said he would like to Bhoot him. The family does not know who "Henry" is. FREAKS OF NATURE ABOUND Riverhead and Mattituck People Are Proud but Puzzled Over Them. Riverhead, L. July 28 This year seems to be replete with nature freaks (not fakes) In this vicinity.

A short time ago a snow-white barn swallow and a snow-white chipmunk were reported- Now there'B a snow-white martin at the home of Fred Reisdorph here. The little fellow Is in a nest with black or purple brothers and sisters and seems to be en-Joying himself as much as any of those of the "right" color. He's tne Identical build of the other martins In the same house (there are eight families of them), and why he Bhould be pure white and all of the others black Is a mystery some people here would like to have explained. While there Isn't a black feather In this one, there doesn't appear to be a white feather in any of the others, young or old. At Mattituck there was horn this week a kitten with twenty-Blx toes, all of them perfect toes at that; not even a corn or bunion yet.

The kitten has seven toes ou each of its forepaws and six on the other two. Mattituck had for some months a four-legged- chicken, but it died, and as It wouldn't do to have the village go tor a long spell without a freak of some kind the kitten with an extra number of toes was produced. The young woman who owns the kitten is very modest about the publicity end of her freak and won't permit her name to be used yet; she says, however, that if the animal lives it will be exhibited in the domestic animal class at the Suffolk County fair In September.

The City of New York entered a formal protest at the time this original application was filed, contending that the drinking water stored In reservoirs surrounding the burial ground would be contaminated by the'use of the land for the Interment of bodies.

GARBAGE DUMPS CLOSED. Long Haul to Two Queens Crematories Made Necessary. In the very midst of his summer work Superintendent Arrow C. Hankins of the Street Cleaning Bureau in Queens has come upon an annoying circumstance. All dumps for garbage in that ward have been closed to him and now he Is compelled to haul all garbage and refuse gathered from the streets of that ward to the two crematories located at Jamaica and Richmond Hill.

This has made the haul for 'his teams almost double, and consequently has crippled him in hie collections. But thus far the superintendent has been able to prevent any complaints, but it has been done by his men being willing to work over hours. The action of the Board of Estimate in providing for an Issue of $305,000 bonds to erect crematories In the Rockaway and Rldgewood sections, will relieve the situation In the borough to some extent These crematories will be commenced as soon as the money Is available.

OBJECT TO STATION SITE Jamaica People Want the New Building Placed Near the Center of Town.

A delegation of Jamaica taxpayers appeared before the Public Service Commission yesterday at a hearing in tho miior of the. aoDlication of the Long Island Railroad Company for consent to locate the new Jamaica station 1,790 feet west of the established station. The Jamaicans strongly objected to the proposed location. They could see no reason why the new station Bhould not be built between Washington street and New York avenue, which would be nearer the heart of Jamaica's business section. The railroad company desires to locato its station a fifth of a mile west of the site, upon which part of the foundation for the new depot has already been laid.

The reason for the proposed change is not known, but it Is supposed to be the litigation instituted by a property owner who holds a small plot needed for tho station at the site already selected, and which may noia up ino uuiiuiub iui years.
