Arthur M. White Elected Trustee

New York, 1895

A special election for trustee of the village of Jamaica to fill the vacancy caused by the election of Charles E. Twombly to the presidency, was held on Tuesday. Arthur M. White, the nominee of the Good Government association, was the only candidate. There was but little interest manifested in the election, there being only 157 votes polled.


A New Station Master

William Quigley, for the past three years station master at the Long Island railroad depot in Jamaica, severed his connection with the company on Monday. He has been succeeded by Martin Wilste. Mr. Quigley has been connected with the railroad for twenty-three years, working his way up from a water boy and filling almost every position outside the executive department. He gives up railroading to embark in another business.
