BRUSH FIDES
SI OFFICIALS
TO TAKE ACTION
Special to the BVKN1NO NEWS.
Tottenville, Nov. β:—Brush flres
in all sections of the Island are be
coming so frequent and the engines
are called out on many occasions,
leaving residential and business sec
tions unprotected, that the authori
ties are about to take more stringent
action to put a stop to the burning
pf leaves in streets, yards and fields
of the borough. Deputy Chief Wil
liam Beggln and Fire Marshal Wil
liam F. Emerson are making every
effort to stamp out the practice
where a large piece of woodland is
maliciously set on Are by some one
throwing a lighted match or a cigar
ette.
The penalty for starting a fire of
this kind and endangering life and
property is ten years in prison. Dur
ing the past month of the 130 fires
on the island, 103 of the alarms were
for brush flres. In a number of
cases some building has caught Are
from a spark and the structure has
burned to the ground. Fifteen vol
unteer flre wardens have been named
on the island who are doing patrol
duty and if any one is caught setting
flre to brush they will be severely
dealt with according to law.
Last week the flre marshal arrest
ed η man at Llnoleumville for setting
flre to his own field, but when the
case came up before Magistrate
Marsh In the second district court he
was discharged because it was proven
he did not do tt with any intent to
destroy property.
Three big brush flres on this end
of the island yesterday afternoon
kept the firemen busy for some time
keeping the flames from doing any
dnmage to buildings nearby. At
Eitlngvlile the* flre extended for
more than a mie and the two in Tot
tenville, one in Centrai avenue near
the water works In the afternoon,
and the other one laet. night in Beach
street, left the business section un
protected here for some time while
the two companies were out fighting
'he brush fires.

fellow citizens, the jealousy of a free
people ought to constantly awake, since
history and experience prove that for
eign influence is one of the most bane
ful foes of republican government. Eu
rope has a set of primary Interests
which to us have none or a remote re
lation. Hence she must be engaged in
frequent controversies, the causes of

concerns. Hence, therefore, it must bu
unwise in us to Implicate ourselves by

Old English Slave*.
Before tbe conquest and for a lonir
time after at least two-thirds of the
people of England were denuded of all
the substantial attributes of freedom:
The lords had the absolute disposal of
them. They might be attached to the
soli or transferred by deed, sale or con
veyance from one lord to another.
They could not chance their place or
hold property In short, they were
slaves under their obligation of per
petual servitude, which tbe consent οt
the master alone could dissolve. The
syetem was not fairly abolished until
the reign of Charles II.. and so late a»
1775 men were bought and sold ljx
Scotland with the estates to which they
were bound.
