June %, 1913,


State of affairs ON Coney Island.
This is the age OF revolution There has
been revolution in France, (if report be
true y another in Italy another among the
German confederacies, and so on. The very
world seems agog with noise and tumult, and
change There has been a revolution in the
press, originated and undertaken and carried to
successful result by the Herald, yes, by the Herald
amidst the opposition OF the bankrupt weellles,
and against the whole force of their virulent lnfu,
ence. The moment, however, the Herald had
fought and gained the battle, there were host o.
journals ready to come in and share the spoils with
the victor. g Tray. Blanch and Sweetheart" no
longer barked. The opposition was gradually
''hauled off, and the motto of your journal has
since been Sic tier nd dStra
This is my preface. Think not that had no de-
sign in introducing the subject of revolutions We,
too, here at Coney Island have had a revolution
Start not, trembe not-but II Is true. revolu-
Coney Island henceforth is to become place Of
fashionable resort-'us even The glory OF Gil
Davis has departed, unless he will consent to d.
vide territory, and no longer claim jurisdiction
over the fashionable inmates OF the Oceanic House.
We will be generous In the very flush Of victory.
Even now our terms shall be worthy OF gallant
victor and brave foe. We would say to the late
Governor
Z" Let old Timotheus yield the prize,
Or else divide the crown"
tic noses--we cannot bear with them. Confine
your orgies TO the " big tent and ''the Governors
Mansion" but let not the delicate nostrs of the
fair and the fashionable at our own Oceanic be
offended. IT'S said.
Coney Island, then, is the place of fashionable
resort for this summer. Already, (and it is but
little past the middle of June,) does number
reach to fifty, and the cry Is still, they come. We
reckon especially upon one strong coadjutor, one
who, within my knowledge has always advocated
every undertaking which has tended to improve
the facilities for enjoying life within and around
our great and growing metropolis. Come now TO
the rescue. Help us to hold our victory, and lei
this beautiful resort be indeed the resort of beauty
Why should 1t not be so =! What beach, for COM
fort, for safety, for genuine enjoyment to the bath
ers, is equal to this Our own citizens can reside
here and 20 town daily and attend to business il
they choose, Gas for us, we don't choose,) and the
drives in the vicinity surpass those of any watering
place within my knowledge-Newport not except
ed. When will you come and dine with us =!
Name the day officially let be the hour, if 1t suits
you, and then will leave it for you TO say what
you think of DR.. Clark s cuisine.

MURDER IN COLUMBIA CouNrY.-On Saturday
night last, Italian organ-grlnder and an IRISH
man (the names of neither Of them are given),
| took lodgings at Coon's tavern, Maiden Bridge,
Columbia county, and remained there over the
Sabbath. During that time they became quite in
innate, and were together good deal. On Mon
day morning they departed together, taking the
Kinderhook road towards Albany. The Italian
was not again; but short time after they left
the tavern, the lrishman was seen alone, with the
organ IN his possession, and playing on It. The
next day the body of the unfortunate Italian was
found in the woods half mile from the tavern,
and not far from the road He was horribly beaten,
his head being literally pounded 10 a Jelly! His
pretended friend had taken his life to obtain pos
session of the organ! Search was made, and the
murderer traced to the nearest station Of the
Boston and Albany Railroad. Doubtless he reach

on in pursuit yesterday, and it is to be hoped that
the wretch will be speedily brought TO Justice
Albany Knickerbockcr.
DEATH OF MRs. MITcHEL.--It is stated that pr-
vate letters have been received from the Rev.
James Wilson, Presby terrain minister al Lecum-
phre, county of Derry, Ireland, dated May 2llh;
announcing that the wife OF ohm Mitchell the Irish
patriot, died few days after her unfortunate hus-
band was transported. The shock was so severe
upon her. that it brought premature confine-
ment, which resulted in her death. The occur
renee had caused very great degree OF sympa-
thy, and il was thought might end In popular out
break. We are inclined TO doubt the correctness
Of this report the date OF the letter purports to
be three days earlier than the sentence of Mr..
Mtchel.--Pha ". american, June u.
ADDITIONAL ITEMS FROM AUX CAyEs.-Schooner
Abel Story from Aux Caves, May 30h arrived at
this port last evening. The captain contradlcts the
story that the French Consul had been beaten
there. Political matters were unchanged. A call
is again made by American residents for the pre-
sence of men-of- War from the United States An
Englishman writes that the object of the blacks
seems to be to possess themselves of the property
of the mulattoes, either by determination, or by
driving them from the Island. At Cape Haytien,
ladies' were denird passports because they pos
sessed property which they would carry with them
But Soloque himself does not go fast enough for
these brigands. He is suspected, and It was
thought, might fall victim to the very storm of
cupidity and avarlce which he has raised. The
