August 30 Captain Jennings, who pilots the steamer Evelyn between this place and Ocenn Beach, had some Interesting things to say about the thunder storm which swept the beaches last night. The storm coming from the sea was even more severe than the one which deluged this place with record sized hailstones on Wednesday night.

It broko over Ocean Beach with all its fury and left In Its wake two shattered houses aud a much split flag pole. In the house occupied by Mrs. I. Hotter, a bolt of lightning hit tho roof, splintering the shingles and creating turmoil among the house furnishings. Mrs.

Hof-fer's two small sons were lying in bed at the time. Tho lightning lifted the springs and mattress and precipitated the two youngsters on the floor without lniurlne either of them. A kerosene lamp on tho dresser was dashed to the floor, but luckily was extinguished by the contact. With the strong ocean gale blowing across the beach, a fire at that time would have been disastrous. Another house owned by Robert Cor-nellle was struck at about the same time a llngpole was shattered.

All along the beaches summer' settlers were mads to quake by the ferocity of the rainfall and the lightning flashes, even in places remote from the lightning zone, houses trembled as if an earthquake had occurred.

They Are Both Rescued Uninjured by Timely Helpers. On Tuesday morning the order team of "The Roslyn Store" was left un-fatsened at the northeast corner of Clapham's Pond at Clenwood.

After preempting the middle of this narrow thoroughfare, finding his head turned to the water and being thirsty, the unfettered horse proceeded to get a drink all by himself, and before he could be headed off he was up to his neck in the pond, dragged in and weighted down by a hi.svy wagon. Happily help was available, for Nathan Morris, working near, had a rope handy, and while ho was In a boat, the owner paddling it, the horse was treed from the harness and pulled ashore none the worse for his long wait in the water.

C. Church, denied today that ho has resigned as manager of the Say- tile Athletic Club.

Van-! weildy, Several Leaders Declare. DIVIDING LINE IS THE RUB. Alexander Blue, Judge A. H. Carmaa and George H.

Furman Express, Their Views on the Subject. Patchogue, L. August JO That tha South Side will not oppose the division ut the Town of Brookhaven la practically as. sured. It public sentiment Is followed.

Many persons prominent on the South Side, well versed in politics, are In favor of the division sought by the North Sldu, it is not definitely known, however. how the Democratic forces now in power view the situation, as those In office are not saying much for publication. Judge L. B. Green of Patchogue has expressed himself as being In favor of the move--ment.

Town Clerk Robert E. Bishop is said to take an affirmative stand. The question as to where the divldlns line should be established will probably, be the most serious ground of contro versy, when the matter of division comes to a final Issue, as It seems sure to do from present Indications. Judge Jacob S. Dreyer of Port Jefferson.

leader of the dissatisfied faction In the town's politics that Is seeking division. favors a plan of letting such localities as Ronkonkoma, Coram and Yaphank de- torraine by a citizen vote. with which town they prefer to become allied. The line of division most generally favored Js the main line of the Long Is- land Railroad, running through the middle of the Island. This is considered tha most natural and easy division, by simply having a pioposition submitted to the voters, establishing the south boundary of the railroad as the line.

There are two ways in which this dlvU slon may be either by a majority vote of the people or a two-thirds vote of the supervisors of the county. Lawyer Alexander O. Blue of Patchogue, Bull Moose leader and prominent in politics, spoke favorably of division today. "Providing the, proper terms or boun-laries of division could be made, I think: it would be an excellent thing," said Mr. Blue! "The scuth boundary of tho Long Island Railroad would, in my opinion, be the proper dividing line.

"While the people of the North Slda seem to be the most desirous of this separation, it would nevertheless, be tha most beneficial to the people of the South Side. In this way the greater hulf of tha assessed valuation of the town comes from the South Side. Consequently we are helping to carry the North Side. "With this division all of that assessment could be placed In the new town treasury. We should have more money and better roads.

There are two Incorporated villages on the south side Patchogue and Bellport whereas there are none on the North Side. These villages run themselves and pay for their own streets, and are not burdens upon the town." Mr. Blue would favor letting all of the middle island hamlets go to the North Side, If tho North Side wants them, as they are not Incorporated, and have to be supported by the town. Moreover, the boomer-lot situation Is these hamlets a ids alrgely to the fees of the town officials. Trying for Years to Break Awaj) From Revolutionary Ideas in Town Matters.

Judge Arlngton H. Carman favors th division or the town at the Long Islam) Rail road, according to the previous Bug gestlon. 'Tiie inteiests of the people of thel North Side and the South Side have neven been identical." said Judge Carman. "The people oi tho North Side have not been progressive. A lot of them made money in the old days, nnd didn't want to be disturbed, and they have had all tha Improvements at the expense of the South Side.

The South Side for years baa tried to break away from the old Revolutionary ideas of running the town. We are a hundred years behind the times. "In the first place, we have been hampered for years by having our natural resources, like the bay owned in partnership with individuals, but that day is passed." Judge Carman said that the Smith heirs had, until recently, owned, through old grants and deeds, portions of Great South Bay oy3ter grounds. "But we have nothing whatever in common with the North Side," ho continued. "It would have been a good thing if a division had been made years igo.

1 see no reason why villages Ilk Blue Point should pay for laying out streets in Port Jefferson or Stony Brook. "Brookhaven is lnrge enough to make fcur towns. It is 10 miles wide and miles long, almost as large as some counties. It Is a piece of medievalism that has been forced upon us for ages. Recently tho people of the North Side have taken a start forward, and they ought to be left alone to work out their own districting." George H.

Furman of Patchogue, ex-District Attorney and Reublican leader of Suffolk County, thinks that the division would be a good thing for the political efllcienry and economy of both sections Ho disagrees, however, with the Main Line of the Long Island Railroad as a dividing line. I think the mint fair and Impartial division would be a direct line from Rlv-c rhend town to Isllp town, commencing et Manor, in the southwest comer of F.lverhcad and running to the center ot Lake Ronkonkoma In Isllp. This follows Ihe old Indian deeds and charters anil seems to me to be the most logical dividing point. "I favor a division In every way. The town Is too lnrge for one set of officials to properly handle.

Only one highway superintendent is ridiculous with all the roads we have to look after. He is going all the time and then cant give proper attention to everything. The location of the Town Clerk's office has got to be inconvenient to either onu side or the other, or both, If you put it In the middle. "The matter of assessments Is an important one. To equalize the rates and keep track of the rise and fall in prop-ertv values in such a large town Is almost impossible.

This works to dissatisfaction of the taxpayers. "Brookhaven Is the Inrgest town in the United Stntcs today. The town is so large that we should have a smaller territory for one supervisor. He can hardly attend to the business or the whole town." The size of Brookhpven town is so unusual that it hns. through a special act of the Legislature, eight Justices ot Peace instead of four.

If the slon Is made that number will be divided. Klving each section the customary four Justices. CHASE MELLEN WON'T RUN. Garden City Man Withdraws as Candidate for Assembly. Mineola, L.

Halts Litigation for the Present. INVOLVES OYSTER BAY LAND. Deceased 70 Years Old, Wife, 30.

Members of Family Arrayed oa Opposite Sides. A technical motion, decided yesterday by Supreme Court Justice Crane, stops for a while an Interesting litigation fol lowing the death of Robert Jordon, an aged and wealthy resident of Oyster Bay, over a large parcel of valuable Oyster Bay property, now claimed by the widow, Mrs. Charlotte Jordon, against her dead husband's brother and sisters. A curious feature of th? case Is that one of tho sisters sides with the widow. The plantiffs In the action are David Jordon, Mrs.

Charlotte Skivens and Mrs. Matilda Gitto, the brother and sisters of Robert Jordon; and William McBride and Mrs. Sarah Wilkinson, the two children of a deceased Bister. Besides the widow the plaintiffs name Mrs. Elizabeth Wylie, another sister, as a defendant, and say that their reason for doing so is that she will not Join with them.

The widow is sued both in her individual capacity and as administratrix of her husband's estate, and tho purpose of the litigation Is to get Mrs. Jordon out of possession of the property she claims. The law Ann of House, Grossman A Vorhau3 represent the plaintiffs, nnd Lawyer John P. McCarthy of Oyster Bay, is looking after the interests of the widow. The latter made a motion before Justice Crane yesterday asking the court to sustain a demurrer to the complaint on the ground that certain allegations had been admitted.

Justice Crane said that the motion was "highly technical," but that the defendant had the legal right and he granted the motion giving the plaintiff the right to plead over again. Jt is the claim of the brother-in-law and the sisters-in-law, except Mrs. Wylie, that Mrs. Jordon, who was about 80 years younger than her husband he was 70 when he died had by threats and duress secured his signature to several valuable plots of land In Oyster Bay. They want the deeds of January 20, 1P07, set aside and the widow "ejected" from possession.

A large plot Is on Ivy street. Jordon died on April 3 last. ANDREW JACKSON CLUB. Lynbrook, L.

L. August 30 At a meeting of the trustees of the Newtown Fire Department held last night at Elmhurst it was decided to expel Company No. 8 of Corona, which is composed of fifty-two momb'Ts. The action taken by the trustees is the result of the dropping of John R. Siiney from the roster of Company on a charge of insubordination made by Chief Weber of the Newtown Fire Department, about six months ago.

About a month ago Siiney appeared before Justice Jaycox of the Supreme Court in Brooklyn, nnd started mandamus proceedings, and was ordered reinstated. The trustees claim that Company 8 should have appeared in court and fought the proceedings started by Siiney, but the company refused to take this action, claiming that they bad nothing against Siiney. The trustees claim, further, that they should have been notified that the proceeding had been started so that they could have opposed Sliney'a reinstatement, and that they were tricked by the members of Company 8 by being left In ignorance of Sliney's move, to overthrow their action. The expulsion of the entire company at last night meeting was the result. Deputy Fire Commissioner Farley has taken charge of the situation, and none of the apparatus of the company is to be touched by anyone.

It will not be removed, however, as the paid fire department will be installed on Monday. SCHNEEL0CH HOME ENTERED. Hollis, August 30 "Gretabelle," the handsome home of Mr. and Mrs. Emil Schneeloch, in Palermo avenue, was bur-biarized some time between August 27 and early Friday morning.

The steamer was passing Middle Ground Light, which stands on a shoal In the middle of the Sound, the other day, when an Eagle man inquired of "Jimmy" (everybody calls Pilot Park how many trips he hnd made across the Sound. He smiled and said: "I don't know, nnd I rather guess nobody else does, exactly. I have been going back nnd forth on the several boats which have run on this line for near on to years.

I was laid up for a time with a sickness and I have had a lew short mentions, but most of the time outside of these times I speak of. I've been ahuard whenever the boats crossed. "Some of the sharps, I believe, have figured out that I've crossed this stretch of fifteen miles of water between Long island nnd Connecticut 27,0011 times and have sailed a instance of over 405.000 miles. This Is as near, I think, as anybody will ever get to the renl figures. You see, when I started in 1 never thought of keeping record; neither did I ever stop to think I would be here all this time.

"I've followed the water since I was a boy. I started with my father on his flshjl)g going out of Mystic. Conn where I was born, as soon as I could lift a cook-pot onto the galley stove. That ivas when I was 9 years old. I came into the port when I was a young man.

met the woman who has been my life mate thirty-eight years ago, and here 1 have lived ever since. True, my world has been a rather limited one, but I have been contented and happy: and, after all. whnt's more to be desired than contentment and happiness? "I first started on this route In the little steamer Brookhaven, thirty-eighl years ago. I spent six years on the Brookhaven, and then went to the Florence for one year, followed by a shift to the Favorite, where I remained seven years. Then came the Nonowantuc, built iu Mathers' shipyard beside the wharf which we left less than an hour ago.

For eighteen years I was aboard the Nono, and then came the Park City, which was also built in the same yard at the port as the Nono and also especially for this route. That was over eleven years ago. "Yes, I have seen some pretty bad weather on this Sound, and 1 have seen men who have followed the sea all their lives, and who never knew what it was to be seasick, fall victims to Neptune's pranks on this little stretch of water. You see. with an east wind blowing for several days, the water gets pretty lumpy.

It Is not a long, even swell like you get on the ocean, but a choppy one, which keeps a boat crossing bobbing about like a cork." Those who have figured out Pilot Park's record of Sound trips estimate the steamer makes Slit trips each year. MISS MCNALLY IS QUEEN North Beach, L.
