DOWN ON OYSTER POINT.

A Dispute Over the Bathing Privi-
IeGes at oyster Point Park-Some
Information Concerning It.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
1 noticed a request in your issue of Au-
gust / for information concerning the
bathing privileges at Oyster Point park.
The desired information ia as follows:
Charles Kiesele, an old and respected citi-
zen of Oyster Point, holds a five years
lease of the bathing privileges at his prem
ises. This lease WAS granted him by the
park commissioners when they bought
land of him some time ago for the Oyster
Point park. He had acquired the land by
life time of saving and industy aud sold it
at a much less price than he wanted, in
view of which fact the park
commissioners granted him the lease. He
also has charge of the park as park keeper,
having been SO delegated by the COM
| missioners. He has had some little bust
| ness from his bathing privileges, which
has been a means of some income to him
in his old age. The charge is five cents
| for children and ten cents for adults with
out bathing suits, and signs are also up in
| conspicuous places on the premises he &C.
| cupies, as they have been for several years.
| A party of about twenty came here the
other day, however, and went in bathing,
most of them thinking it was public prop,
erty. When they were remonstrat-
ed with, they answered that il
was public property. A part OF
the company understood the state of af
fairs, however, and paid the little charge
asked. The others made free use of thu
bridge and float belonging to Mr.. Kiesele
Mr.. Kiesele erected the bathing houses
some years ago. People went to Parl
Commissioner General E. E. Bradley ant
told the facts of the case and he sustained
Mr.. Kiesele, the latter having an indisput
able right in the case under his lease. Mr.
Kiesele very reluctantly relinauished hi
home and plot of ground to the city TO
park purposes, and would much rathe
have keptit. A FRIEND.

NOT A BAD CASE.

The Young Lady Who Was Removed
to the Hospital for Contagious Dis
eases Last EventnG-A Case OF varlo-
loid.
A young lady named Mollie O'Brien, Iv-
ing on Winchester avenue, was reported to
Health Officer Wright several days ago as
suffering with disease which gave indica-
tions of being smallpox. Yesterday morn
ing he reported it to Town Agent Clarity,
who gave orders to have the hospital for
contagious diseases prepared for her recep-
ton. The story was at first spread abroad
that it was scase of malignant smallpox
and that the young lady was not likely to
recover. The truth is, however, as we
learn from the health officer, that it is a
| light case of varioloid and that she will
| recover in a short time.
The town authorities have been very ret
| icent in giving any information in regard
to the matter, as they wished to keep the
name and residence OF the girl secret until
| she had been removed to the hospital fol
for contagious diseases. She was removed
there Just before dark last evening. The
place had been put in complete order by
Superintendent Sanford of the almshouse
The case has been under the personal
surveillance of DR.. Wright for several days
The young lady was 80 far from being
Frustrated by the disease that she walked
from her home to the conveyance which
took her to the hospital in question. Sh'
is very bright, popular young lady, witt
many friends, and was taken i'll about
week ago. Quite a stir was created on
Winchester avenue owing to the remova
being noised around. The health officer il
at loss to know how the case originated
and reports that as far as heard from Their
is no other case of varioloid in New Have,
at least none has been reported to him

The New American Timex eeper.

The New American Keeper.
With the precision and regularity by
which it would be safe to set your watch,
the most famous train in the world rolls
by the Office of the New Albany into the
Union passenger station at II: is am. every
day in the week, Sunday excepted. There
is scurry of passengers to board her, and
again she is off on her run from New York
to Buffalo and Niagara Falls. To ride on
this train is an experience of which people
are as sure to speak as they are of trip to
Europe; it gives them, somehow, a feeling
of superiority over the rest of mankind,
who have not been 80 fortunate, and we
have known those who actually staid in
New York over night simply for the pur-
pose of coming to Albany on the New York
CeDtraPs Empire state express. One Gu
rious thing about this beingwhirled along
in the fastest train in the world, it costs
no more than it does to ride on any other.

BOARD OF sELECTMKN.

The Widening of Townsend Avenue
At Morris Cove Discussed-NO Decis-
ion Arrived At-Work on the Tom
Mnson Bridge Causeway to be START
ed at Once.
The hearing on the widening of Town
send avenue at Morris Cove occupied the
several Lours yesterday afternoon. A large
number of the property owners affected by
the proposed change we're present and were
represented also by counsel, James a.
Webb of Alling. Webb & Morehouse and
Hobart L. Hotchkiss appearing for them.
Among those present were: w. F. Beecher,
E. Wheeler Beecher, George R. Chamber
lain, R. J. McCleeve, S. G. Thompson, G.
G. Kimberly, E 81. Young, Lyman G.
Thompson, Theodore 81. Thompson and
Rev. Dr.. Mallory of New York.
The hearing was quite spicy at times,
and more than once several of those pres
ent lost their tempe1s. It seemed to be
the intention of some of the directors to
the proposed improvement to 60 through
the whole matter from beginning to end,
going back and even questioning the rights
of the company to lay its road through
the cove.
This line of evidence was kept up for
some considerable time until, finally, Sc
lectman Pohlman called the attention OF
the board to the fact that the meeting was
called for the purpose of hearing the OBJ
jectors to the widening of Townsend ave-
nue. and for no other purpose. After this
the meeting was conducted on this line and
the hearing proceeded more smoothly.
During the hearing the fact was devel-
oped that there would be practically no op-
position to the road if it were run wholly
in the rear of the cove, and one of the
property owners present stated emphatic
ally that he had offered to give $500 for
the purpose of having the road run in the
rear and not along the Morris Cove road.
During the meeting L. Wheeler Beecher
stated that he had been misrepresented in
the stand he was taking against the road
and claimed that he was not opposed to the
road, but simply wanted the road to run in
the proper place.
The board was in session for two hours
and a half, after which the hearing was
closed for the day and continued until
some future time.
Immediately after the hearing was closed
meeting of the board was held.
At this meeting an agreement
from Sargent & Go. giving the
town permission to Immediately start the
work of widening the causeway at the east
ern approaches Of Tomlinson bridge was
accepted. This agreement does not prevent
Sargent & Co. from collecting any damages
which may be awarded them hereafter, but
ia simply given in order not to delay In any
way the work on the causeway. It was
also voted to Immediately advertise for
bids for the work, the bids for piling and
wall to be opened next Tuesday evening
and the bids for filling to be opened at a
meeting of the board to be held the first
Tuesday evening in September.
The board then voted to adjourn to
Tuesday evening, August 8, and in conse-
quence no meeting of the board was held
last evening.
