FIRE AT MORRIS COVE.

Burning of the Ley House, One of the
 Oldest Houses in That Section-An
 Early Morning Fire.
 Yesterday morning about o'clock the old Ley house on Townsend ave- nue, corner of Burr street, was destroy- ed by fire The house was about one hundred years old and was one of the oldest in that section of the town It was two stories high and was the home for many years of Henry Ley, a very industrious citizen of German birth, who reclaimed the low ground in the vicinity and converted it into an excel lent farm, on which he for years raised vegeta bles, doing a paying business. He died about two years ago. His three sons live in the immediate vicinity, as also his daughter, who is the wife of MT Belcher who has a grocery store near the entrance to the Cove The old house was quite a landmark It stood about 150 feet from tie entrance to Fort Hale park leading to the Pali- sades.
 As there were no means of fighting the fire, the house fell an easy prey to the flames, as the fire had attained much headway before it was discover ed. The house had been unoccupied for some time past

THE CITY POINT CHANNEL
DREDGING WAS COMMENCED LATE
 SATURDAY NIGHT.

Frank T. Lane, Across Whose Grounds the Channel Will Go, the Only obiector- Others Say That It Win be n Great Bene- flt-Lane Win Not Say That He Will En- join the Work.
 A large crowd was attracted to the docks at City Point late Saturday eve ming by the presence of the Morris & Cummings Dredging company's appa- ratus to begin the work of making new channel from the oyster docks to the main channel Of the harbor.
 The dredger and scows were lowed to places where work was to begin apout 10 o'clock by the tug John Ii. Hogan The work of making the new route, which runs across the throwing out ground of Frank T, Lane, one of the City Point growers, was begun about midnight and was continued until the tide went down, making it impossible to work. With the rising tide yester- day the dredging was resumed and continued until the water again became SO low as to prevent operation of the NIllctCHliGIy. Lole yeSlSAoeby etLtSAAlooi several rods had been dredged and the workmen were almost up to Mir. Lanes ground.
 For ten years the majority of the oyster growers have favored this new channel, but MT. Lane has strenuously opposed it.
 The new channel will. it is believed, have great influence on the immense business that is being conducted at the point.
 Nearly s75O,0O0 is handled annually in the industry at this place.
 Permission has been secured from the acting secretary of war to dig the channel and from the harbor commits sioners. The petitions were signed by practically every grower except MT. Lane A survey of the new location was made by Civil Engineer David c. Sanford and Saturday night the work began. It was found that MT. Lane had anchored a boat on his grounds directly in the path of the proposed channel and was industriously engaged in longing.
 It was because of an apprehension that Mir Lane would take steps to pre- vent the digging that the work was begun late at night and on Saturday. The oystermen say this is not per- sonal matter; that there is no bitter ness between them and MT. Lane; but that the new channel is a necessity and that it is absolutely futile to attempt to induce MT. Lane to agree to the dig ging of it.
 Mr. Lane did not forsake his boat until early yesterday morning. He did not, however. resume his place when the work was resumed He said yes- terday afternoon that he had no state ment to give out He would not say whether an injunction would be asked for or not.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs.

In the last quarterly report of the board of control of the Endowment rank President J. A. Hinsey makes the following statement:
 "On April 1st 1896. the Endowment rank entered upon it's twentieth fiscal year. A summary of the business of the first quarter and its status on June 30 evidences a degree of prosperity nev- CT before reached in it's history. The new applicants and re-admissions number 3,34S and comparison with the corresponding quarter last year shows an increase of 22 sections, 956 members The result Is largely due to the thorough and persistent work of our organizers. One hundred and ten death claims, amounting to $253000, have been paid during the quarter. while the grand total paid since organ ization to July 1 aggregates $10, ,362000 On July 1st the membership passed the 45,oOO mark, representing an insurance of nearly $SS.50000O. Since the close of the fiscal year, on March 31st last, there has bean added to the investment fund $l4400, the total fund, together with the cash balance, amounting to s428, ,603. During the past twelve months the volume of new business has with each succeeding quarter increased over the previous one, evidencing the practical and beneficial results ob- tained from organizers employed by the board throughout nearly every por- tion of the supreme domain. Their en- ergetic efforts and constant devotion to the work is rewarded by the Knowledge that each day adds to the growth of the insurance feature of the order. The board hopes for continuance of the grand work and 'renews its solicitation to the officers and members of the rank and of the order to continue co-opera- tion with the organizers whose labors have yielded such unprecedented re- suits"

GENEROUS APPLE CROP.

Yantic, Aug. 23-A generous apple crop is assured to orchard owners in this vicinity. The trees are heavily loaded with fruit, mostly winter apples, on all sides. The advantage of a good apple crop this season is the more en- couraging in that reports from other sections, especially from central Mass achusetts, where many thousands of barrels are raised annually, are to the effect that the worms have made sad havoc of the trees, and in many towns not dozen barrels will be gathered.
