The question of a five cent  faro   be-
j tween Freeport and Hempstead, which
j was tried out before the Public Service
I Commission in  January,   was  decided
I in favor of the people.
The Commission holds that the  com-
j pany has no right to charge more  than
j five cents for five miles over any por¬ tion of its road. This is what Counsel¬ or Elvin N. Edwards claimed on behalf
; of the Allied Board of Trade on the trial of the iASue before the Commis-
j sion.
j The Commission seems to als<J have held that the portion of  the  franchise
I that says that the fare for one contin¬ uous ride over the entire line shall be only ten cents applies to the whole line as it ia to-day. This, if that ia true, will mean that people at Hempstead will be able to ride through to the City line for ten cents where they pay twenty-five now or more.
There is little doubt that  tho   Rail¬ road "Company   will  try   and have the j     Captain Townsend Wanser ami Frank Commission re-hear the question as   to j Smith vvero driving: Sunday and  whilo the whole line. | eating diimer  at   Hempstoad,   Ifavini.?

The New York and Porto Rico Steamship Company's liner Coamo, bound from Porto Rican ports, went ashore on Jones' Beach, near Zach's Inlet, during the heavy fog that com¬ pletely enveloped the coast on Monday morning last. She was then thirty miles out of her course, as she should have entered Ne,w York lower bay by Way of Atlantic Highlands. First word ^f the accident was received by a wire¬ less message in New York. The Life Saving crews after a search located the vessel by the sound of her horn and ^y the time they boarded her tugs were lying off at sea ready to go to her re¬ lief as soon as the fog lifted. Those on board were comfortably situated and did not need any assistance from the hardy teamen. At half past six the same evening the tugs pulled the vessel off and she proceeded on her journey to New York.
