New York, 1895
The postal authorities at Washington have denied the application of ex-Postmaster Isreal B. Tyler of Setauket to have the Government credit him with certain amounts of money which were lost while he was postmaster. The money was lost or stolen while in transit to the Assistant Treasurer of the department in 1893.
Note: The spelling in the paper was Isreal, but probably should be Israel B. Tyler.
Covert Will Got Damages
Justice Bartlett on Tuesday denied a motion for a new trial in the suit of Abraham D. Covert against the city of Brooklyn for damage done to his mill by the construction of the aqueduct between Massapequa and Wantagh. Covert got a verdict of $2,450.
Silk Weavers on Strike
The weavers in the Rhenania Silk Mills in College Point are again on strike. They went out because a dollar was deducted from the wages of four men for disfiguring silk. The men lay the blame to girls in the factory.

County Committeemen Elected
New York, 1895
The Republican town committee of North Hempstead met Saturday evening and elected two members of the county committee in the places of E. Eugene Carpenter, of Port Washington, and Louis Wrede, of Great Neck, whose seats had been declared vacant. In place of Mr. Carpenter the name of Charles F. Lewis, of Port Washington, was proposed, and that of Alfred Wilde, of Manhasset, in place of Mr. Wrede.
Tax-payers are Protesting
A meeting of citizens of College Point was held at the Poppenhusen Institute on Wednesday night to protest against the passage of two amendments now before the legislature permitting the trustees to bond the town for $20,000 for the purpose of erecting a water tower, and $15,000 for the building of a fire house.
Uncle Sam Does the Fair Thing
Postmaster Traphagen, of Corona, has received official notice from Washington that he will be reimbursed for the loss of money and stamps amounting to over $300, stolen about a year ago when the post-office safe was robbed.
