Bingle was tried yesterday at the court house here, the room was crowded with people from Port Washington, who were either there as spectator.) or as witnesses, and the case was replete with sensational testimony. Indeed, the -evidence was so "risque" that Justice Towsend Scudder, who presided at. the trial, said: "The people of Port Washington had better desist for a time In donating money for foreign missions, as they could u.se it to better advantage at home." This remark of the judge was made at the close of the trial In rendering his Complaints Against Citizens Company as to Alleged High Rates and Poor Service.

There was a fox, old enough to match his wits properly against those of 'the sportsmen, of whom there were one hundred; there was a merry chase of over two miles, and there was that event, not to be figured as a certainty la any fox chase, the kill. The Brighton Arms Hotel was the mecca for lovers of the sport, and by noon sportsmen had begun to come -from every point of the compass. The fox could not be let loose until after the 3:07 train had left the station, in order that in case the fox selected the tracks as his course, the lives of none ot the dogs would bo endangered by the train.

IClee and Anton Kleupfer for Ridgewood Heights Board of Trade. Messrs. Meyer, Colo and Suydarn appeared for the water company. As no report had been received from the corporation counsel concerning certain paragraphs of the complaint involving the powers of the rompany under its franchise, which 'had been submitted to that official for an opinion, the hearing was confined to t'ue presentation of bills tending to show, as it was alleged, lack of uniformity of rates and methods of making charges. Builder Kleupfer said that he was charged $37 for a one-Inch tap for a six-family house and that he could get no everyone In the village who can dance of Chairman Emanuel Brandon, super-Intendent of highways for Queens Borough, whose sixtieth birthday it was.

It was gayly deco-frated and manned by a crew of proud boys In their teens, many of them descendants of the men who once did actual work with it. The department's handsome new steamers, hose wagons, drawn by prancing horses, didn't attract any more attention than the little old "Red Jacket" engine which Is now carefully preserved in honor of what it once wasthe solo fire-fighting equipment of tho Riverhead fire department. Auto on Runners, Horse Drawn, Attracted Attention.

Thore were many grotesque eoslumea in the parade, and there were olher features of interest. Eugene G. Warner of Baiting Hollow, a well-known farmer, put an automobile body on runners, attached a farm team to tho new kind of Her. The parties in the suit are well known people of Port Washington, and the peculiar feature of the case was the fact that the Bingle family was divided In that several of Mrs. Bingle'a brothers appealed and testified in behalf of the husband.

The parties were married In 181)2, and they have two sons. Mrs. Bingle brought an action for separation, and the husband retaliated by bringing suit for absolute divorce against the wife and named Albert C. Swaboda as co-respondent. Mrs.

Bingle testified that her husband threw diahes at her and had a habit of poking her with his flntrer and she was corroborated by her son Herman, also said that h.s father called his mother vile names The husband denied these allegations of the wife and testified that the reason wife left him was because of her infatuation Seaman did it cleverly. He litted tne animal from the barrel in which it was kept, holding it firmly by the neck, while he took off the dog collar and chain that had been added to give greater security. Hardly had he put the fox on the ground and released his hold on its hido than Br'er Reynard was off. There was a flurry of snow, and the fox. going at a great rate of speed in a zigzag course, disappeared to the south.1 A few parties in sleighs put off after him at once, but most of the hunters lingered near the barn.

One or two men, holding their dogs in check with the leash, put off after the fleet animal on foot. From the barn came the whines of the foxhounds which were there imprisoned. They well knew what was going on and waited Impatiently until "Tom" would open the door and let them join the chase. After waiting ten minutes, the sportsmen who were prepared to start after Reynard, ten minutes start having been thought sufficient, as the scent is not very lasting on as cold a day as yesterday. Hounds Are Let Loose and Chase Begins.

Seaman threw open tile barn door, leaping nimbly aside to avoid being hurled to the ground by the rush of a score of foxhounds which leaped through' the exit together. In their hurry they jumped over and on one another, fell on the musicians from there learned that Ihey would have to remain here for the night. The band then returned to Brooklyn Hall, where the dancers swung until morning.

The popular idea of portraying (he character of a great man In hintovy, especially before his birthday, to win a prize, proved not amiss.

George Washington took first prize and George Washington, received a second. The prizes consisted of smoking sets, stick pins, pocket books, link buttons, hat pins and cut glass.

He further said he had paid $27 for a half-inch tap, and that he had paid $150 for laying mains in Madison and Palmetto streets, and that he got nothing back; that when he asked for a return he was told that he had no contract to compel any return of the money.

He said he had seven three-story houses in which there was not. a drop of water on the top floors for four hours of tho day. Mr. Meyer then asked the witness whether he knew that the company bad tried to get a permit from the city authorities to lay mains through certain other streets to relieve the situation. He said that was the case, aid the witness replied he had no knowledge of it.

John D. McEwen he paid $8.50 for the Bingles in JU08. The husband testified that Swaboda had the habit of kissing his wife and putting his arms around her, and ho objected this and asked his wife to be more discreet in her conduct. Ho was cor roborated by his brother-in-law, William Baumbach, a police officer of New York, who also testified to the familiarities which Swaboda took with his sister. A number ot Port Washington people testified for the.

Johnson, foreman of the iron-working crew on the same structure, entered into the spirit of the 'occasion and rode in the parade on a little sled drawn by a donkey that stands about three feet high. The men paid two children $2.50 for the use of the donkey. Former Supervisor Fanning entered with an old-fashioned "bunker box" loaded full of cheering men. Houses along the line of march were gayly decorated in honor of the occasion. The ball in the evening, with music by tho brass band, was a record-breaking affair.

"Everybody In town and' many from other villages" were present, according to the opinion of several. The celebration was the first Washington's Birthday celebration the county seat has had in many years, and It was such a complete success that it will be repeated annually, it Is now believed.

testified that he called at the Bingle house when Bingle was away, and finding Mrs. Bingle and Swaboda in a compromising position. The odd feature of the wholo case was the attacks made by counsel on opposing witnesses as to their several characters and the admissions made by the witnesses when they were thus attacked, it. was evidently this phase of the case that called forth the remarks of Justice Scudder as to the sociological condition of at least a portion of the inhabitants of Port Washington. Divorce Is Refused the Husband.

After Ihe long array of witnesses had testified the judge refused to grant the divorce and dismissed the suit as far as that part of the matter was concerned. In respect to the separation suit he decided to take the matter under consideration for disposition later and advised the Singles to settle their matters amicably and suggested that they live together again for the sake of the children. As the people were dispersing after the trail was over Bingle walked up to his wife and shook hands with her. The spectators were anxious to see if he extended- the olive branch to Swaboda, but in this they were, disappointed. their backs, righted themselves quickly, and with wild yelps of excitement, started off in the course taken by tha fox.

One or two of the dogs, unused as yet to the chase, and to the scent of game, failed to find the trail at first, but their owners dragged them to the. printeg of the fox's feet, pushed their muzzles to the snow and the novices, spurred on by the blood of past generations of foxhounds, sprang to the chase, following In the p.ath of the more experienced. The fox trail led south for a quarter of a mile or more, then cut to the west. Then, apparently, Mr. Fox got his bearings and he turned sharply to the headed toward his home.

After he had disappeared from1 sight of the huntsmen, the first sight that was gotten of him was by the family of William Lewis when he passed their home. So near did he get, to the house in his wild excitement in getting away from the dogs whose yelping he could hear, that Mr. Lewis was able to reach out and flick his brush with the tip of a horse whip. Kill Is Made Near the Old Butler Homestead. But his many turnings were fatal, for, near the Butler homestead.

Just west of Deer Park, a dog, belonging, it is believed, to William Murphy; came up upon him and seized him. In an instant the pack had surrounded their prey and his life was snuffed, or rather shaken, out. Herbert Lux, a Babylon man, was the first man to appear at the kill and so won the body of the animal. It is believed that he will have the fox mounted, as he was able to rescue it from the dogs before they had done serious damage to the carcass. William Hazel, of Amity-ville, was a close second to Mr.

Lux. Returning to the Brighten Arms, the whole story was rehearsed over a few glasses of the amber fluid, following which the "drag," an event hardly second to the hunt itself, took place. In tho "drag," the fox is dragged over the ground and the dogs are allowed to trace the animal by the scent left by its body. As Mr. Lux wished to preserve the carcass, the body of the fox wa3 not used, a bag filled with straw from the barrel that he had slept in, being ceived the same treatment.
