BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

The Brooklyn Athletic club turned out
in body this afternoon and marched to
the West End grounds where their annual
picnic and games are being held. Dane
ing will be continued during the evening
and the committee guarantee a good time
to all who attend.
This will be q big night for property
owners of Washington avenue and adjoin-
ing streets, in City hall. The road and
sewer boards will meet to dilcuss the pro-
posed public improvements on these
streets and the meeting promises to be one
of the most important since the new city
government came into office.
The exercises at the raising of the flag
at the South Brooklyn school ground were
attended by a large audience and the ad-
dresses were of an unusually interesting
character. The singing of the school
children was very pleasing feature of the
programme. The committee deserve great
credit for the excellent talent which they
secured as speakers and the management
throughout was very creditable.
Last week some one carried off about
500 worth of curb stone which had lain in
front of the property of G.. B. Lawrence
for some time. The affair is the talk of
the whole neighborhood and Is likely to
end in lawsuit. A week ago last Mon
day two men called at the place in a
double team and commenced carting away
the curb. No one took any notice of the
men, believing that the work was being
done by order of G. H. Hart, the trustee of
the estate. When the removal of the
curb came to Mr. Harris notice he was
puzzled to know who the men were that
removed the stone and also where they
had been taken to. Mr. Hart has since
been engaged in looking up the matter and
has secured pretty good evidence as to the
owner of the team. Meanwhile every man
around the Deighborhood who has been
making any improvements on his property
is accused of the theft One of the
neighbors told reporter to-day that the
residents of that vincinity wanted to vim
dictate themselves in this matter and asked
that the DEMOCRAT expose the whole bust
ness and have an Investigation made.

VI
delivery of his speech, Mr. Gray (Dem.,
Dcl), chairman of the select committee to
investigate the charges of alleged at
tCmptS to bride senators and other charges
in connection with alleged speculation in
sugar stock by senators, arose to present
the report of the committee on the recu-
SAINT newspaper men.
There was large attendance on the
floor of the senate chamber while tn clerk
read the report The galleries also werr
crowded, especially the press gallery over
hanging the vice president ; chair. Every
word dropped from the clerk : lips was ca
gcrly listened to, but the senators whose
names were connected with alleged sugar
stock speculation and with being intlucn-
tial in securing the framing of the sugar
schedule (Mrssrs. Brice of Ohio, Smith of
New Jersey, Jones of Arkansas and CAT
frey of Louisiana) sat imperturbably in
their seats and apparently were as disin-
tcrcStcd rs any persons within sound of
the clerk : voice.
Before reading the report had been com
plcted the vice president resumed the
chair Mr. Hill was on his feet as soon
as the clerk finished. He began to argue
the point of order raised as TO the priYi-
legged character of the report. There were,
he said, three distinct branches of the in
NcSll8dllOn. i ne llTSl TtItiltO 10 inc Charges
of alleged attempted bribery. Any report
on this branch of the inquiry, rs directly
affecting senators, Mr.. Hill thought,
might possibly present question of privi-
lege and might be presented to the senate
any time. The second branch of the in
quiry had to do with the allegation that
certain senators had specialized in sugar
stocks This allegation did not involve a
crime although it might involve a qucs-
ton of improperly.
Mr., Allen interrupted Mr.. Hill to say it
WAS not the truthfulncSs of the correspond
cnts that the committee was charged to
investigate. 1t was whether the Sugar
trust had made large political contribu-
tions for the purpose of influencing legis-
lation and whether senators had been spec
ulating in sugar stocks. He asked Mr.,
Hill if he contcndrd that the senate had
no right to investigate the charge that
senator's has SDCculatpd in sugar stock.

Dentist.
Rooms l, 2 and 3, Birkbeck Brick.


There is no profession that confers greater
blessings upon humanity than the dental, and
it might well be contended that the members
of this profession do quite as much toward pre-
serving the physical health of the community
as do the medicos. The dental profession in
Freeland has an able and accomplished expo
nent in DIR. IL. W. Monroe, whose operating
rooms and reception parlor are situated in
the Birkbeck brick. His establishment is
finely furnished and thoroughly equipped
with all the most modern scientific apparatus
for the perfect conduct of dentistry in all its
details, and he makes prominent specialties of
the preservation of natural teeth and of
crown and bridge work, while his artificial
plate work is unsurpassed, as is also his recog-
nzed skill and ability in every detail of his
profession. DIR. Monroe is a cultivated and
aifable gentleman, whose tact and courtesy
are as noticeable as his fine professional at
tainments, and his dental parlors are deser-
vedly becoming more popular every day. He
is II grlduate of the Pennsylvania College of
Dental Surgery and began practice here in
the summer of 1893. BY his careful and pains
taking work he has gained an enviable repu-
tation in this section of the state.
