New York, 1895
A memorial day celebration is to take place at Willet's Point on Saturday. The battalion of engineers and the post band will participate in the demonstration. They will be joined by Custer garrison of Brooklyn, Sedgwick garrison of West Point and Tyler garrison of Fort Schuyler. There will be a parade, after which the soldiers' graves will be decorated.
Fighting a Forest Fire
A fire supposed to have been started by a spark from a locomotive swept through a hundred acres of woodland at Dark Hollow, Port Jefferson, Friday night. Flames neared the village so rapidly that the firemen responded and succeeded in extinguishing the fire after an hour's hard fighting. The loss is estimated at $500.
A Verdict Set Aside
The case of the village of Flushing against Patrick Carraher, in which the county court directed a verdict for $50 for a violation of the ordinance of the board of health for the keeping of cows, has been set aside by the general term of the supreme court and the complaint of the board of health dismissed with costs.
Improved Train Service
On the Long Island railroad every morning an early scheduled mail and market train will run east except Sundays and Mondays. The train will leave Long Island City at 5.15 A. M. and arrive at Sag Harbor at 9.01.
