FIVE LITTLE ONES IN WANT
Pitiful Story Told in Brooklyn
Police Court
Father Deserts Them and Their
Mother Goes Insane.

With their mother in an insane asy-
lum, and abandoned by their father.
FIVE pretty children were committed by
Justice Tighe, In Adams Street Court,
Brooklyn, this morning, to the West
ern District Industrial School While
the children were In court. a sad story
was brought to light.
Yesterday afternoon Odncer John Devil
sick OF the Children's Society, was sent
to investigate a report OF case of desti-
tuition In the rear of 20 LuQuer street.
He found a small shanty. from which
the vilest odors emanated.
The hovel contained no furniture eS-
cept an old mattress thrown across a
rickety bedstead. There was not even a
crust of bread In the place. With the
aid OF the neighbors no learned that Ave
children had been living there, and after
a search he took them into custody.
They described themselves as Samuel
Taylor. aged thirteen: Thomas. aged
eleven; Annie. aged seven. and Nellie
and Robert, twins. aged four. Their
clothing consisted OF a few rags. and all
were very dirty. After receiving a bath,
good clothing and hearty supper. they
told their story. which was repeated in
court to-day.
Father and mother came here from
England seven years ago." said the
Oldest boy. "IIe was an iron-worker and
made good pay. At first he had plenty
of work. but he lost his job four years
ago. Then trouble came. In the mean
time my sister, Annie, had been born.
and about the time he lost his work the
twins arrived
Father tried hard to support his
family and mother helped him. After
a while he got employment, but II was
unsteady, and mother concluded to save
up and go back to her friends In Eng
land.
Father got discouraged. He worked
at times, but became Ehiftless. Mother
saved money until she had $50. She was
getting ready to go to England when
father discovered the money where she
| had hidden II. and spent IT. Mother
grieved over her loss until she lost
her mind, and a year ago she was TAX
| en- out to Flatbush asylum.
my father is now working some
where in New Jersey. He came 10
Brooklyn every Saturday and gave us
money for bread. Last Saturday he
told me would have to look out for
myself and the others. The neighbors
| fed us until the officer took charge OF
U.S."
The Children's Society will endeavor
to find Taylor.

schieren to-day that yesterday afternoon
his father was standing in front Of the
house when Dog Catcher Thomas
O'Keefe captured the Zavodnlck dog
which was in the yard.
The old man interfered and the COM
plainant ran up. Both the Zavodnicks
were hit on the head with stones by
O'Keefe, they say. Zavodnick's sister
then sailed In and was held by O'Keefe
until a policeman came up and dragged
her towards the station. but released her
after a while.
O'Keefe was called, and said that he
had taken a dog belonging to the zavod-
hicks a few days ago, and yesterday
as he passed the house they mobbed
him.
''They chased me Off my wagon" said
O'Keefe; they unhitched my horse and
hid 1t. They upset the wagon, letting
loose all the dogs. and then dumped It
into a vacant lot They seized me and
tied me to an electric-light post.

BAD MONKEY SENT TO JAIL. !
Garibaldi's" Master, an Organ
Grinder, Shares His Fate.
The Simian IL Accused Of Commit
ting Petty Thefts.

Liberate Barbate. an italian organ
grinder. and his monkey were arraigned
in Gates Avenue Court. Brooklyn. to-
day to answer for the monkeys pranks
Roundsman Blaney. Of the Gates ave-
nue. station. was appealed to by some
of the residents of Halsey street. near
Bedford avenue, to put a stop to the
depredations OF Barbate's simian as
sistant.
Barbate, 1t appears. was sending the
monkey through the open second-story
windows OF the handsome houses in
that section Of the city. and was profit
ing by the spoil which the monkey
managed to seize. They are said to have
included silver toilet articles or small
pieces of brio-a-brac.
Blaney arrested both Barbate and the
monkey which answers to the classic
name OF "Garibaldi." When arraigned
before Justice Quigley .'Garibaldi" took
half-hitch with HE tail around the bar
face Of the Honorable Court.
When the Justice managed to make
himself heard above the animals shrill
chatter, he made inquiries as to his past
record. He then learned that the monkey
had already been In custody in Flatlands
for theft and biting a man in the hand.
Taking all this into considera ton,
Justice Quigley decided that "Garibaldi'
was a pretty bad character, and sent
him and his master to jail for ten days.
with the alternative of $40 fine.

be learned that any strikes had been
ordered. On number of the buildings

inspectors all over the city. with in
structions to report any strike that
might occur. None had been reported
to him. He said he had also talked to
nearly dozen contractors doing work
on school buildings, and that none had
heard Of any trouble.
