THE BILLoP HOUSE.
Standing not far from the shore the
Billop House is still in good state OF
preservation. This stone house, about
two centuries old, was built upon the
Bently Manor, at Wards Point, by Chris
topher Billop. who received grants of
about 900 acres in 1879 and 1857. Another
Christopher Billop lived in the mansion
during the war. He was an intense 10y
alist and his property was contiscated
afterward. 1t was in this house that after
the battle of Long Island Lord Howe
met tho American Commissioners-Ben-
Jamin Franklin, Edward Rutledge and
John Adams-who would listen to no
terms of compromise except absolute in
dependence. Billop's house was the
headquarters for British officers, Lord
Howe, Sir Henry Clinton, Major Andre
and many others being entertained.

THE GUN1ON HOUSE.
Resting a while in the old hostlery, now
considerably modernized, we walk down
New Dorp lane, which was in a nearly
straight course for over mile to the lower
bay. The large farm of the late William
Ii. Vanderbilt, now owned by his son
George, is on the left, and its highly cul-
water. Turning into the Mill road on the
right we go down a farm road until we
reach the Gunyon House.
The Gunyons were Huguenots and fled
from France to Holland at the time of the
persecution, afterward emigrating to
America. Jaques Gunyon received a
patent from Sir Edward Andres March
"A, 1915, of large tract of land, on which
the house is built. The original patent is
still in existence, and the land was occu-
pied for great many years by DR..
Ephraim Clark, who married one of the
descendants of Jaques Gunyon. He was
a courtly gentleman, with the old-time
manners, and had ready welcome to all
corners to his fine old mansion. Sur
rounded by fine trees, the house stands
at the end of the upland, looking out
over broad salt meadows and far out TO
the distant ocean. The Gunyon family
were very popular on Staten Island.
James Gunyon, the father OF Mrs. Clark,
was member of the Assembly in 1912 and
Congressman in 1919. Hermanns Gun
yon was Assemblyman in 1919, and both
of them were Supervisors OF their town.

CONSIDERING BIDS
For the National Headquarters of the

FIBRE HAUTE. IND, Nov. 6.-The Grand Executive Board of the Broth- erhood of Locomotive Bremen is en- gagged in considering the bids of a number of cities for the national headquarters of the order, and it is expected that a place will be decided upon within the next few days. In September the Brotherhood decided that it would ne advisable to re- move the offices from Terre Haute to q larger city where the facilities are greater for the prompt handling of the business of the organization. Letters were sent to the commercial clubs in number of cities asking that information be furnished the Brotherhood concerning the adVan- tages of their respective places. Grand Master Sargent says that what the order wants is place where office rent is cheap, where there is competition in the printing business and where good interest is paid by the banks on daily balances. No bonus is expected. Indianapolis, St. Louis and Milwaukee are in the field and one of these cities will prob ably be selected.

A DAYLIGHT ROBBERY.
s6,6oo STOLEN FROM A WIDOW.
While Attending Church Robbers Break Into Her House and Secure
 s0, 800 m Cash

News comes to this city this morn ing of a bold daylight robbery which was committed in Grant county last Saturday morning.
 For several years and up until about a year ago, when he died, Mr. Tolbert Schultz and his family were frugal farmers living near Brooks postoffice, Grant county. Mir. Schultz died about year ago and as q result of his industry and economy left his family over $6,000 in cash and q good farm in an im- proved condition. During his life time Mr. Schultz was frequently urged to deposit his money in bank, but would never do so. saying that the banks might break" He there fore kept his money at home, and after his death his good wife fol- lowed her husbands example.
 Last Sunday Mrs. Schultz and family left home and went to church, carefully locking up the house be fore their departure. During their absence robbers visited the premises and by the use of hand-spikes broke in the doors of their residence. The robbers efforts were rewarded by finding about $6,600 in cash carefully stored away in the house, and when the family returned they could find only s in money left; which had been put in separate place.
 The robbery was reported to this city and Detective W. A. Clay has been employed, who is now working on the case. We understand that the robbers have been traced in the direction of Kendalfs saw mill on the Cotton Belt.
 This is q great loss to Schultz family and represents almost a life time of united effort and strict fru- gality. Had their savings been de- posited in bank they would have ! been $6,600 better off today.

NEW SHAVE FACTORY
PROPOSES TO LocArElN PINE BLUFF.
The Commercial League Has Been Sub mitted Proposition by Slave
 Factory at Rector.

The Commercial League, or at least part of it, is mot dead but liyeth," and several of the members are at present industriously engaged in an effort to secure another stave factory for Pine Bluff. Through Mir. W. H. Parker. of this city, Messrs. I. A. and r. II. Adams, who own large staye factory at Rector, Ark. north of here on the Cotton Belt, have submitted a proposition to the effect that if the Commercial League will donate them six acres of landfor q site, dig q well, and put in a spur from each railroad, that they will remove their entire plant to this ity.
 The GRAPHIC reporter has had the pleasure of inspecting the above plant at Rector, and 1t is fully up to any stave factory in Arkansas. The above firm employs in the factory and in the woods about seventy-five men, and their factory has capac- ity of l0,000 slaves a day In speaking of the probable cost of locating the aatory here, Mir. Parker said to the GRAPHIC reporter this morning thas 1t could be gotten at a cost of not oyer $1, 200, which, indeed, is q very reasonable figure.
 This matter is one that should ad- dress itself to our business men, and
  cial League will be successful in it's efforts to secure this new enterprise | for our city.
