BURGLAR MIXED A COCKTAIL
And Drank It While the Saloon
Keeper Looked on Amazed
When He Got Down to Cigars There
Was u Scrap and an Arrest.

Michael Doran while asleep in his
apartments over his liquor store, 232
Seventh avenue, Brooklyn. at o'clock
this morning was awakened by slight
noise. He crept downstairs cautiously
and carefully opened the rear door. Be
hind the bar Doran saw a man who had
climbed in over the fanlight, serenely
mixing n cocktail. The man drank the
liquor undisturbed by Dorans presence
and then opened the money drawer, TAX
ing out 81 which Doran had left there
before going TO bed.
Doran crept up behind the burglar
Just as he was filling his pockets with
cigars. and twined both arms around
the mans body, pinning his, arms to
his sides. Doran'S cries for help were
answered by Patrolman Whalen. OF the
Fifth avenue station, who placed the
man under arrest.
The burglar described himself as
James Smith. twenty-five years old, or

TROLLEY CAR ON FIRE.
Flames Broke Out as It Was
Passing Brooklyn's City Hall
Caused a Stampede on the Part Of
the Passengers.
And Then the Blaze Was Put Out
with Pail OF Water.

As trolley car No. 3.423. OF the Cross
town line. passed by the Brooklyn City
Hall on Joralemon street this morning
the power-box caught fire and for few
minutes there was considerable excite
ment.
The smoke and fame shot up through
the cracks in the floor, and the passen-
gers made n hurried exit.
The conductor and motorman left the
car and ran across the street to pro-
cure a handful of sand with which to
put out the blaze.
The fire gained rapidly, and smoke
was soon pouring out of all parts OF
the car. and 1t looked as though there
would be work for the fire-engines until
a passer-by got a pailful of water,
which he poured into the motor-box.
That put out the fire, and then the
car proceeded on its way, with only
slight damage to the woodwork OF the
motor-box.
There appears to be no end to the
perils to which travellers in trolley cars
are exposed
