FIRE ISLAND, Sept. 13-The supreme
court, general term, Kings county, this af
ternoon dissolved the injunction of Judg,
Barnard prohibiting the use of Fire Island
by the Normannia's passengers. 1t is ex
pected that the passengers will be landed
this afternoon.
The Thirteenth infantry of Brooklyn
500 strong, and the naval reserve arrived
in Babylon at $50 this evening, and were
received with no demonstration of any
kind.
From all indications in this place the
baymen's little war is over. About 4:3C
this afternoon DIS. Sammis, late proprietor
of the Surf hotel, Fire Island, was inter
viewed here. He asserted that the opposi-
ton to establishing quarantine station at
Fire Island had been excited by certain
hotheaded men for political effect Mr..
Sammis said:
1.-THE steamer Normannia's passengers
have all been safely landed, and have all
been made as comfortable as possible.
They have plenty of good food, nice rooms,
plenty of attendance and everything they
can wish except freedom. There Is no
need now to send any troops here. On
Fire Island, in Babylon, at Islip and at
Bay Shore all is quiet"
A number of leading men of all classes
confirmed the views expressed by Mr..
Sammis.
The sheriff has informed Governor
Flower that there is no further use for
troops at Fire leland. It is expected that
the troops will be Withdrawn. tomorrow
and that they will not go to Fire Island.
The story which reaches here of the land
ing of passengers is to the effect that Sher-
If Darling of Suffolk county, upon hear-
ing of Governor Flowers determined &C.
to give up the fight before the
Consequently when the Cepheus approach
ed the landing pier this afternoon he turn
ed to the guard of bsymen on the pier and
informed them that the injunction issued
by Judge Barnard did not seem to be legal
and that consequently he would advise
them to go quietly to their homes. This
advice the baymen concluded to follow and
entering their catboats sped away for Islip
and Rapport.
Afterward all the passengers were safely
landed. There are people who say that
some of the more dangerous baymen
may yet make an attempt to burn
the hotel. However, this is mere talk,
and there is little or no chance of any
thing serious happening. Nine out of ten
people about the Great South bay believe
that Fire Island is occupied by the Sixty
ninth New York infantry and the naval
representative in the face of q half gale
put off from Babylon and took q scudding
view of the qusrantined passengers on
Fire Island The lights in the big hotel
glimmered in the most cheerful manner.
People were coming and going before the
window and everything seemed about as
peaceful as it was possible to be. 1t is evil
dent that the quarantine of the people on
Fire leland is farce. The correspondent
saw at least dozen catboats come from
Fire Island to the mainland and land
people who, it seemed, had been in close
communication and conversation with the
Normannia's passengers. 1t is said that
when the steamer Ripple left for Fire
Island she carried dozen Babylon people.
The Babylon boatmen and hotel people are
reaping harvest slresdy, and many peo-
pie intimate that the establishment of
quarantine station at Fire Island will prove
an immense benefit to this locality. The
Babylon boatmen have made moro money
in the last couple of days than they have
before in three months.
11:30P. MA dispatch from Governor
Flower addressed to Sheriff Darling says
that the government preferred that
the sheriff should remain at Babylon for
L IL
remain there until all danger of interior
ence with the state authorities had passed.
At this hour all is quiet. Definite news
from the Bay Shore meeting has not been
received here, but it IL reported that 1t re-
suited in a complete back-dow of tho
baymen.
Great hustle followed the arrival of the
passengers at the hotel here this afternoon.
Considering the fact that 500 guests arrived
within five minutes, it was natural that
some confusion should result. Everyone
was good-natured, however, and waited
patiently until assigned to quarters.
Within two hours all were comfortably To-
Gated. The second cabin passengers were
put in the westerly end and the first cabin
in the easterly. At $50 supper was
served. 1t would be difficult to find a
happier crowd than that which filled the
dining room. Conventionalities were cast
aside and congratulations were show
cred from every quarter OF the room.
No strict quarantine was maintained. A
windstorm is now raging and all the pas
sengers are thankful that they are not on
the Cepheus tonight. The troops will be
needed here to maintain the quarantine
regulations. In reply to the offer of the
men from Islip to withdraw the Injunction.
If the governor would promise to sell the
hotel, Governor Flower sent this:
rs. A. Jenkins-Your dispatch received
duct of the people of Islip in refusing
shelter to the passengers of the Normania,
and in attempting by mob force to prevent
their landing on state property, is dis
grace to our commonwealth Tho state
accepts no terms from law breakers except
submission to its authority. Your propo-
sition is an insult to the executive and the
state"
DIR. JENKINS TO SHOW CAUSE,
NEW YORK, Sept. 18.-Dr. Jenkins has
been summoned to appear before Judge
Barnard in Brooklyn on September IA to
show why he detains the cabin passengers
of the Normannia on Fire Island. Roger
Shearman, the eminent constitutional
lawyer, went to quarantine to personally
serve the papers on DR.. Jenkins. DR.. Jen-
kins accepted the service.
The steamer Pegasus with militia aboard,
which started for Fire Island, put back
late to night owing to the gale and is now
at Sandy Hook.
