East New York, from which this city de-

vation in which number of laborers
were working. and caused the walls to

tons of earth and gravel. and the pit was
Immediately flooded with water before
any attempt could be made TO reach
them. The. number lost was at first
thought to be greater, but it was ascer-
tained that of those employed on the
trench only eight were at the bottom
when the swamp came.
The Ridge wood Reservoir is located in
East Brooklyn beyond the terminus of
the Myrtle avenue branch of the Union
Elevated Railroad of Brooklyn. 1t is
about midway between the Cypress Hills
and Evergreen Cemeteries. The pipe
which burst supplies the entire Eastern
District of Brooklyn with water. 1t was
the main conduit leading from the reser-
voir, and the entire supply for that part
of the city has been cut off in consequence
of the accident.
AS soon as the conduit burst an alarm
was sent to ihe gatehouse and the water
was shut off from the conduit. IL was
too late. however,. to do any good. The
Brooklyn Police and Fire Departments
were promptly notified, and several fire,
hook and ladder companies were sent to
the scene to help recover the bodies. The
work Of bailhg out the trench progressed
rapidly as soon as the water was cut of,
and three bodies of Italian laborers were
recovered at once. The others were not

proud of the record which they have made
in their representation of "The Brigands"

which is almost beyond mathematical

hearted practical manager who was pres
ent declared in his enthusiasm that If
he could only take the company upon the
road for six months he could make his
fortune.

do all that was required of him aud the

peoples efforts in hearty and enthusias-
tic applause. They demanded q repeti.
tion of the principal features of the
opera, and at The end of the second act
it reached the principal peri ormers.
Miss Beebee, Mr.. and Mrs. Molten, the
ton and Bright. George Fallon and his
shapely legs, and. Mr.. Louis r. Dressler
