fell from a freight train'nea-r the South

Original Greening Apple Tree Dying.
The original Rhode Island greening
apple tree is still standing on the farm
of Solomon Drowne, at Mount Hygeia,
in North Foster, R. I. The tree was a
very old one when the farm was sold
in 1801. The seller impressed the pur-
chaser that it was a pity the old tree
was going into decay, as it' produced
the best fruit of any tree in the or-
chard. The purchaser determined to
see how long he could keep it alive, and
it still remains, after almost another
century has been added to its venera-
ble years. It shows signs of final de-
cay, and the parent of all the famous
Rhode Island Greenings, from which
cions have been taken and distributed
over the apple-growing regions of the
world, will soon have disappeared.

Natural Oyster Beds All Right.
Reports received from the natural
oyster beds off Bridgeport are more en-_
couraging. The heavy storm which
prevailed early in the month buried
most of the oysters in sand, and the
dredgers found that they could not work
with success. For a time dredging was
abandoned, and it was feared that the,
bedswhich were alive with oysters
would be closed for the season. It has
been found, however, that the oysters
have worked their way out of the sand,
and a large fleet of boats are at work off
Bridgeport and off Port Jefferson.
They are taking in a large quantity of
oysters and the season bids fair to last
for weeks to come.

walk City, Council Monday evening,
worked smoothly until Chairman Meek-

tiers.
Councilman Meeker held that he had
theright to employ Mr. Newcomb, al-
though some of his colleagues appear-
ed to doubt that right.
was settled in Mr. Meeker’s favor,how-
ever, by the words of City Attorney
Hurlbutt who said, that if Mr. Meek or
had the right to direct it was rather
technical to say that he could not hire.
This put a damper on the position tak-
en by some ofhis colleagues, and Mr.
Meeker having won his point rema. rk-
ed good naturedl y, “Well, I guess we
won’t quarrel over the matter any-
how,” and the ineldent was closed.
It was 8:05 o’clock when Mayor Glov-

that hehad made a contract with E. M.

the dangerous condition of Gannon

mended that a twelve inch pipebe laid
to carry water into the sluice-way, Ste-
phen St.John offering to pay $15 tow-
ards the expense, which was estimated
at $50. It was left with the chairman
with power to have the same done.
In the matter of the claim of Burr
Smith for damages to his WiltOn ave-
nue property, Chairman Meeker report-
ed that the committee had examined
the premises and failed to find that any
damage had becn done to Mr. Smith’s
property. The report of the committee
was accepted.
Chairman Meeker also asked for
more time in the Fairview avenue mat-
ter, saying he would report at the next
meeting. . ' '
He then referred to the employment
of D. A. Newcomb, and explained that
he had hired Mr. Newcomb to clean
outWilton avenue with his iron scrape r.
He had been criticised for So doing, but
under the ordinances ..he believed he
had the right to do so. He read the
ordinance to substantiate his position,
closing with the remark that it made
no difference tozhim who- attended to
the street repairs.
Councilman Meeker was questioned
by Councilmen A. H. Hoyt, Goold Hoyt
and Buckley, who apparently objected
to the employment of N ewcomb when
commissioner.
Councilman Meeker insisted upon
knowing Whether he or street commis-
sioner Kellogg was to hire the help in
the future, and City Attorney Hurlbutt
stated that if he had the power, ‘under
the ordinances, to direct, it was rather
technical to say that he could not hire.
