Jamaica Brevities

New York, 1895

John Duryea, of the Rockaway road, planted early peas on Wednesday.

Seth Chapman, the 7 year old son of Theodore Chapman, fell from a fence Wednesday and broke one of his legs.

The Jamaica club will give a musicale at the club house on the evening of the 23d. The artists will come from the metropolis.

Schwarzchild and Selzenberger, of New York, the largest firm of wholesale butchers in the state, have purchased the Henry Conklin property on Division street, and will erect a beef storage house 85x35 feet.
