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.
