L. 1., December 13 Tomorrow evening Is the date set for th3 special meeting ot the taxpayers of the Huntington Fire District to vote on the proposition ot the fire commissioners to purchase a site and erect a new building in New street. There Is much discussion on tha merits the proposition, and there seems to be good deal of opposition to it. The after or Charles Wenzel to sell to the nistrlct a plot in Wall street, near the present lire house, has complicated matters and divided public opinion, so that the result of the vote seems very much In doubt. The need of a new fire house Is very apparent, and it Is feared that the failure of the present proposition would hold up development along that line for an indefinite time.

Although the contest at the election last August was a sharp one, members of the two factions, the victorious one, led by Commodore Fred B. Tlalaiell and the minority, composed of the followers of Commodore J.

Henry Ruwo, have stated that there will be no split in the Mrs. Conklin.

A verdict of $8,000 against a prominent Brooklyn physician. Dr.

T. Grover De La Hoyde, and a former phyalciau of Far Rockaway. Dr. Pedro L. Francko, was yesterday returned in Justice Kapper's court, In Long Island City, and at the same time the statute was confirmed that physicians have no right to mutilate a body for the purpose of performing an autoposy upon It, except with the consent ot the relatives of the deceased.

This verdict was rendered in favor ot Robert John and William Boyd, and their sister, Mrs. Margaret Hoffman, all of Hammels. The verdict was the result of their presentation of the unique case to the jury by John B. Merrill, attorney for the plaintiffs. According to the testimony, Jane Allen Boyd, 68 years old, died In St.

Joseph's Hospital, Far Rockaway, on February 16. 3S9. after she had been operated upon there for appendicitis. She had been sent there by her son, Robert V. Boyd, with whom she made her home.
