The engineer kept up a continuous whistling for nearly an hour in order to arouse the men and bring them to the spot. Within short time there were nearly five hundred men en- gagged in carrying water from the stream. But for their combined efforts the whole block would have been burned. The losses were:

IT WILL BE BRENNAN.

No Doubt but Superintendent KenIs
 Assistant Will be the Democratic
 Candidate.
 There seems to be no doubt but that John J. Brennan will be the assistant of Superin. tendent of Streets Kent if he will accept the position, and this he will probably do. Superintendent Kent yesterday wrote him . letter offering him the position of assistant. MT. Brennan has not as yet officially accepted this, but he will undoubtedly do so in a few days. Commissioners Atwater and Todd, it is understood, will contest the appointment They claim it is illegally made. The board, they claim, cannot delegate its power of mak- ing appointments and ordering dismissals to heads of departments. If they decide to do this, their first action will be taken at the next meeting of the board, which at all events promises to be lively one.

SECURED AN lNJUNCTION.

Manager Mcfarland Secures an In.
 junction Against the ". 0. Turner
 Dramatic ana Comedy Company.
 A cheap combination known as the W. O. Turner Dramatic and Comedy company has been producing version of. .Denman Thomp- sons play, The Old Homatsad, through the small towns of Massachusetts and Connec- tiout. Yesterday afternoon Manager Me- Farland of the genuine company, who is Q son-in-law of Dennan Thompson, appeared in this city about half-past o'clock with his counsel, Attorney Webb, and applied for an injunction restraining the bogus combina- tion from producing the play. Manager G. B. Bunnell of the Grand opera house and Hyperion theater endorsed the application as bondsman for the sum of q 1,000. The in- junction was granted and Lawyer 8. O.. Morehouse hsstened to take the 6:2O train for Putnam, Conn.,, where the ". O. Turner combination was billed to present The Old Homestead at the local theater last eve- ming. The bogus company has thus been forced to cancel all of its dates through the small towns along the state line. This oom- pany also produced . version of Esmeralda.
 The injunction is returnable before the su- perior court of Middlssex county at Middle town on the first Tuesday in May. This court is not now in session and Judge Robin son granted the injunction as judge of the superior court and not through the court.
 The entire rights to The Old Homestead are owned by Denman Thompson. There arc but two genuine companies presenting it. One is in New York city, and tho other ii the road company under the management oi MT. Mcfarland, which appeared in this city at Proctors on the first half of this week.

Notes From the Diamond.

E
 Pitcher Doyle, who accompanied the Bos- the Brooklyn team.
 Athletic club in a few games last season, may be given trial by the Phillies.
 Burglars recently entered the room occu- pied by Catcher Earle of the Cincinnati club and stole @ new suit of clothes, his gold watch, an overcoat, and other articles of more or less value.
 With Pittsburg and Indianapolis as the cities to be dropped by the League, the Players and National league will conflict in New York, Chicago, Brooklyn, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Boston.
 Brush is away from Indianapolis, and the ball cranks have thrown up their hands and surrendered. They now appreciate the fact that the willy old fellow was pulling wool over their eyes all the time.
 Tho Phillies appear to have made great catch in Shindle, who is playing short for them. Considering the bad grounds 1t is said he is doing really wonderful work, while his batting is hard and frequent. Cincinnati has released Pitcher Whittrock and presented him with the advance money paid him. This clever twirler will not be long without an engagement. The cause of his release was "too many pitchers. Of the "Kids" who went south with Mu- trie. 1t appears that Young, Galligan, Domschke and George Sharratt are not heavy enough for the League. The cons pany they are in is 8 little too fast for them.
 Manager Sam Pratt of the Newarks has arranged exhibition games at Newark 10! April with the Hackett- Oarharts, ,and April % with the Lindens. This fills every date on Newark's book up to April 26, whom tho 1onk kfo will

 President Soden stated Saturday, whom he heard of Judge Thayer's opinion, that he was glad to learn of the weakness of their con- tract, because they would know what to do in the future when they contemplated giving up $5. 900 or $10,000 for man over whom they had no control.
 The Pittsburg club intends to sue Fi1st Baseman Beckley. They claim that he never Manager Hanlon says Beckley returns to the Brotherhood at the old terms. Hanlon as- serts he knows of another man whots willing to give $500 to get back.
 The Ohio State Journal says: "As to Le- hane coming to Columbus. Manager Bucken- berger thinks there will be no serious trouble The fact is, Lehane is playing such stiff game of ball in the south that Mutrie wants him badly, but New York hasn't enough money to buy his release.
