A decision of unusual importance has been rendered by Judge William J. Kelly, in Supreme Court, under date of May 1, in the action of Elbert T. DaV- ison vs. The Commissioner of the De¬ partment of Water Supply of the City of New York.
Mr. Davison was expelled from bis poaition, or as it was called "ausoend- ed" until his services were needed. Through his counsel Alfred T. Davi¬ aon, he claimed that under the law he could only be removed upon specific charges, as provided under section 22 of the Civil Service law, and that he was entitled to the preference, so long SB men were being employed in the ¦ama or similar positions to the one he
^eld.
This claim was upheld by Judge KeU ly, who said that the law seemed very clear, and that so long as any persons were employed for tbe position held by Daviion that he was entitled to a con¬ aideration, the same aa war veterans, snd that be coold only be expelled up¬ on specific charges, or when tbe posi¬ tion had been actually abolished.
Judg* Kelly remarked: "I think it is »pparent that tlte position held by tbe relator haa not become unnecessary •nd bM not been abolished. It atill cootiatMa-^ ut other men, not voter- •na, Mre continued in it. The respon- ^iant oska: 'Shall we diachaigeafaith fal enaployee to make room for the vet- •ru)^' No, bat you mnat not dia- ehMTge a veteran who waa • faithful employee, to make room, ot a make¬ shift to continue in employment, a maa although he may be equally effi¬ cient, has not earned the preference which the policy of tbe State clefirly gives the veterans in tlie statute cited, placing them, aa far as legislative command can do so, in the same cate- «>ry witb the veterans of tbe Civil War. I think he should be restored to WWtk. If it ia neceasary to reduce tlie fateo ao that the reduction reaches the veterans, then removal cannot be •^ided, but until that time, tlie com- ntand of the statute ia that he shall not be removed."
Services will be held at the M. E. Church Sonday morning at 10:80 a. m.; Sunday Scbool at 2:00 p. m.; Ep¬ worth League, at 7:15; evening ser¬ vices at 7:45; preaching by the Pastor. Rev. William Dalziel; all are cordial¬ ly weelome.

Adolf Halvereon, of Smithville Sooth, came before Judge Corodon Norton here on Sonday on the charge cf stealing a bicycle belonging to W. H. Barne'tt, of this village. Judge Norton suspended sentence because Halverson waa the only support of his widowed mother, who is 65 years old, and upon condition that the offender return tbe bicycle lamp and otber ac¬ cessories to Barnett's and tell bim that he had taken tbe wheel. Jadge Norton also exacted that Halverson report to him on the first and fifteenth cf each month for one year.
The wheel was stolen two weeks ago from Bellmore. Althougb the thief had painted the wheel red, Barnett recognized it and Halverson was ar¬ rested Sunday.—Times.

BASEBALL The Bellmore Baseball team evened up its season's games last Sunday, won two and lost two, when they met and defeated the Brooklyn- Royals in a fast, clean game by the score of 5 to 2. The Bellwood A. C. of Brooklyn were booked to play here, but owing to some misunderstanding in the dates, Manager William Walsh of the Bell wood's sent the Royals instead. Sam Seaman and Ernest Schneider were the battery for Bellmore. Sam had excel¬ lent control and held his opponents to three scattered hits. Doran, the Roy¬ al's pitcher, a southpaw, slso pitched a fine game, holding our boys to four hits. Howard Schneider.continued his good batting, and the gamo was actual¬ ly won in the eighth inning, when he eent out a long drive for two bases, sending three men across the plate. The lineup was greatly changed Sun¬ day, Parker Vooris playing third, Howard Schneider at short,and the ad¬ dition of a new player,Clarence Smith, at second.
The regular scorer not  being  pres¬ ent,   and  a  complete score not  being kept,   we  can only give the score by innings, as follows: Bellmore        10000004 0—6 Royals 00101000 0—2
Next Sunday at 3:80, Bellmore will have for their opponents the Farming- dale Field Club. Amos Baldwin and Erneat Schneider will be the battery for Bellmore.
COMMENTS OF THE GAME Harry Merritt will be unable to play tbis  season  and   in  his and Manager Father King's absence Sunday, Apeler captained the team succesafolly.
Parker Vooris, third, and Clarence Smith, second,though not having many chaneea at their new poaitiona, ac¬ quitted themselves very flne. There is no reaaon at all wby with a little practice tbey cannot make permanent¬ ly good.
Howard Schneider played a nice game at short, getting all bot two chances. A little more coaching and he will Im good at that poaition.
The outfielders seem to be picking op. Clare Bartholomew made aome nice running <;;itches. Amoa Baldwin played in the sun field (left) but didn't have a chance to show what he coold do there.
Erneat Schneider donned the big mit. caaght a nice game, and acted at home l>ehind the bat.

And time only adds more value To his charming China Bride.

Freeport Trustees
At tbe regular meeting of tbe Vil¬ lage^ Board of Trustees last Friday af¬ ternoon all the members were present.
Attorney Sidney H. Swezey present¬ ed an op|inion upon the  application  of attorneys   interested  that  the  Board past   another   resolution   desifirnating "Olive Boulevard" as a Village street. He said that it seems this wac virtual ly done years ago; it was true that the Courts bad  held   that  tbe  agreement was not valid in the way it was   made ; on tbe part of   the authorities repre- \ senting the City of New York, but the passing of a resolution at that time by i the Village  showed  the intent of tbe ' Village-authoritiea to accept the  atrip | as   and for a street, and in his opinion ', soch resolution was good tu   show  tbe | intent of the   Village, notwithstand-: ing the City of New   York   might not be bound, on this point, under the pro- { ceeding  referred to. The City of New 1 York having, however, made no objcc- j tion  to  tbo  Village carrying out  the; terms of thi^ resolation and  the strip ' being,   and having continoally been in j constant use as a street, it would seem \ to  be  unnecessary  to pass a  further | resolution.    He believed also it would i be  conceded  that  the passage of the j resolution  would  not be necessary  to,' complete an offer of dedication. I
