a well known resident of Hampstead who
has been employed for some years on the

Mrs. Collins and her son, who were the
only occupants of the house. were aroused

smoke. which was seen TO arise from the
lower floors OF the house on the north
side. upon which the wind was blowing
strongly. and Mrs. Collins rushed from
the house in her night clothing, and run
ming TO a nearby well drew pail after pail
OF water and, almost half frozen, poured
the water on the flames, until after fifteen
minutes desperate work she succeeded I'm
extinguishing them. when she re-entered
the house her feet, hands and ears were
nearly frozen.
An hour later Mrs. Collins discovered
that the incendiary had again made fire
against the side of the house, and again,
pail in hand. she ran to the we'll and
dashed water on the flames.
Not until the terrified woman was on
the verge OF collapse from cold did she
finally haye the flames extinguished. She
was then nearly frozen.
AS she ran from the house when she
discovered the fire for the second time
she saw a man run across lots and jump
over an adjoining fence. She says she
recognized him as her husband and called
loudly for him TO stop.
A warrant was sworn out for Collins
arrest on a charge of arson and Constable
Frederick r.. Gildersleeve arrested the
man at Mineola as he was about to take
a train for Roslyn.
Collins. who has borne an excellent rep
utation, denies having been in Hemp

BROOKLYN BRIEFS


 Tomorrow night wil1Switness the closing of the fair of St Joseph Lithu- anian parish. The prizes will then be be drawn at the parochial school. 4 large crowd is expected to be present.
 A crowd of men were carousing this morning in the tunnel which spans the Naugatuck river near Bank street. and through which the trains on the Highland division pass. Several of the residents of Wards flats didn't like the idea that crowd of .'bums', (such was the word used) should be rushing the can'' near their homes. It set bad example for their children. One of the displeased tenants was Mrs Frey. She dispatched a child in search of Officer Bailey, whom she found away up Bank street. The latter, with all due haste, walked down towards the place where the disturbers were enjoy ing themselves drinking the foaming beverage. At sight of the minion Of the law the jewellers left their camp ing grounds and headed down the tracks toward South Brooklyn. No arrests were made, and at present writing all Is well in the vicinity of, the tunnel.
