Mrs. Goodale Wants a Divorce
New York, 1895
Through her counsel, Lawyer Merrill, Mrs. Lillian E. Goodale, of Port Washington, has begun an action in the Supreme court against her husband, Howell P. Goodale, for an absolute divorce.
New Poor House Keeper
The overseers of the poor of Hempstead have removed the present keeper of the town poorhouse, William S. Combs, and have appointed Daniel S. Wilmarth of Valley Stream, a veteran of the late war. The salary was fixed at $600 and that of the matron at $125.
Leaky Mains Kill Many Plants
A leaking gas main killed thousands of dollars' worth of plants in the greenhouses of William H. Siebrecht in Long Island City. Among the palms destroyed were Phoenix and Canariensis, each twelve feet in height, importations from Belgium. Siebrecht estimates his damage at $5,000, and says that he has 1,500,000 bulbs in his cold storage house worth $5,000 more, which he believes are also damaged. The gas company is taking an inventory of Siebrecht's loss, and if an amicable settlement is not agreed upon, Siebrecht will sue for damages.
