BROOKLYN BRIEFS

1 A number of hunters are seen ] daily directing their footsteps towards
 the woods on Town Plot. There is sald to be abundant game in that sec
 tloh of the city. Cartridges are re- ported as plenty, quail are not very scarce and there are few gray l squirrels.
 "A part of the roof of the Barnard school is in need of repairs. The rain is able to effect an entrance through a small hole in it. School h. spector McGrath has notified the firm Who had the contract for the roof of the condition of affairs, and the firm has promised to remedy matters in a day or two.
 The Googalies football eleven de- feated the Nestors Sunday morning at Riverside park by the score of 34 to D. The Googalies wish to arrange a game with the St Thomas Cadets Juniors or any other football team in or outside the city, the players of which are under the age of 16 years. Games may be arranged by calling at the Googalie Athletic club, North Leonard street.
 The St Thomas Cadets football team will probably play in Torrlngton Saturday. They are practicing as earnestly as ever. They will hold their third practice of the week to- morrow night. Chatfield, who re- ceiyed a deep gash in his head, in which Dr De Lignori placed three stitches, by colliding with Herman of the Fifth Wards in the game last Sunday, is all right again.
 -Laborers are engaged in making improvements at the entrance to the Wlldefmere park. The persons who deeded the land to the city for a park are earnest in their assertions that it will make a very pretty park. Some persons are under the impression that the park Is situated too far from the city to become very popular place for the public in general. This im- pression is somewhat wrong. One can ride on the trolley to Platt's Mills and then walk to the park in less than five minutes. Those who are interested in the new park also assert that it will not be a long time before the trolley is running to the park af- ter it is fixed. Hans Rasmussen is an enthusiastic supporter of the new park. He is loud in his praises of the land. Hans states also that he will shortly give the baseball players a handsome piece of land on which to play ball. The piece of land to which reference is made would make a fine diamond and the games could be played there on Sunday without dis turbing any people.

A Hardware Combine.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 24.-A plan to combine the hardware interests of the country is on foot. Minneapolis firms have been approached for the purpose of getting them into the organization. The scheme originated with a jobber in Pittsburg, assisted principally by Boston men who claim to have interest ed some of the largest hardware whole salers as well as packers of financial standing. The plan is to organize q company with $10O,oOOOo capital, hay ing headquarters in New York. It is understood that the proposed combine plan met little encouragement here.

PACKING PLANT BURNED.
Fire at Hammond, Ind, Causes Loss
 of E1OC OOO

CHICAGO, Oct. 24. - Fire attacked the packing houses of the G. Fl. Ham, mond company at Hammond, Ind, last night and within an hour gained such headway that the destruction of the plant was feared. The Hammond fire department and the private fire fight ing company of the packing company were unable to cope with the flames, and an emergency call was sent to Chi- cago and South Chicago.
 Four engines from the Chicago de- pertinent were loaded upon q special train on the Fort Wayne road and hur- ried over cleared tracks to the burning district. Aid was also sent from South Chicago.
 The fire began at the south end of the plant in an old frame house used as the beef killing department. In an hour the car shops, oiling rooms, beef killing department and blacksmith shops were destroyed. It then seemed that the fire had burned itself out, but in few minutes the four story brick building containing the cooling rooms, one of the company's largest buildings of the plant, was burning.
 The loss is estimated at S400,000.
 The packing company's plant covers fifteen acres. Eighteen hundred men are employed in the cooling depart ment. The company has branches in South Omaha, Neb.; St. Joseph, Mo-, and Kansas City, Mo.

CRAWFORDSyILL Ind, Oct. A. -Dr. George Stockton Burroughs, pro- lessor of Old Testament literature in Oberlin college and from 1892 to 1898 president of Wabash college, is dead at Clifton Springs, N. Y. The funeral will take place today at Fairfield, Conn. Some time ago Dr. Burroughs fell and broke one of his arms. Shortly after recovering from this mishap his other arm was broken by a porter who was endeavoring to assist him on train. A cancerous affection of the bone followed and for some time before his death caused him intense suffering.

A PLUCKY DEFENDER.
Southern Pacific Express Messenger
 Repels Night Attack.


 PORTLAND, Or, oct. 24.--The north bound Southern Pacific overland train would have been footed near Eugene DJ two masked men early yesterday bad 1t not been for the nerve of the ex- 1 press messenger, Charles, who stood off the robbers with a gun and threw out of his car lighted dynamite bomb ! before 1t could explode. He saved ESQ., GOO that was in his care.
 Two men boarded the train at Cot tage Grove, short distance north of here, and put off the fireman and his helper, uncoupled the engine and mail cars from the passenger coaches and compelled the engineer to pull ahead a short distance. The robbers then blew open the door of the express car with dynamite. The car was badly dam- aged, the explosion tearing a large hole in its side. The desperadoes ordered Messenger Charles to leave the car. Tn answer he showed the barrel of a shot, gun through the opening made by the dynamite
 Come out of that or we will blow you all to h--lv' demanded the robbers.
 Blow and be d-dy' was the re- sponse.
 The robbers then threw into the car stick of dynamite with lighted fuse attached. Quick as a flash Messenger Charles grabbed the bomb and threw it outside of the car, where it exploded harmlessly
 Then the highwaymen began shoot ing into the car, perforating it's side with bullets, none of which struck the messenger The robbers next attempt ed to enter the car by compelling the engineer to go ahead and using his body as shield from the messengers shots. Charles could not be worked that way and kept up heavy fire over the head of the engineer.
 Finally the robbers, finding that they had more than they had counted on, turned their attention to the mail car. This they entered without trouble and footed the registered mail pouch. They summoned the engineer and, cutting the locomotive, loose from the cars, started north. They proceeded to the outskirts of Eugene, where the engi- neer was ordered to stop. They got off and told the engineer to go back and get his train.
 There is no clew to the robbers, as they did not show their faces. Charles has been in two previous holdups, in both of which he showed courage, and he wears handsome watch given to him for saving the express treasure in Arizona a few years ago.

DOGS ARE A MENACE.
Peddlers of Farm Produce Keep Them
 Concealed in Their Wagons

Concealed in Their Wagons.
 Many citizens claim that the au- thorlties should take steps to preyenr peddlers of farm produce from going about with ferocious dogs concealed in their wagons. The brutes are often hidden under bags or old blankets, and on that account children and others who go near them run great risk Of being bitten. Sometimes the dogs sit around under the wagons and attack children without the slightest provo cation. During the past few weeks three or four persons have been ser lously injured by dogs brought into the city in carts and it seems about time the danger was removed. 1t should be remembered that there is a vast difference in the average run Of farmers of to-day compared with those of twenty or thirty years ago. The good old Yankee farmer of the past drove into town minus his house dog, and although he lost few apples now and then, and once in a while some thing of more value, jug of cider, or elders father, mayhap, still he man. aged to get along without the assist ance of q ferocious bulldog to prey upon the innocent children who collect ed about him, asked an apple if he hap pened to be looking, and took it with out leave when they got his back turned

No Word From Miss Stone.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 24.-Cold rains are falling in the district where the brigands who abducted Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American missionary, are concealed, and prolonged stay in the mountains is believed to be almost i'm possible, even for the brigands. Hence it is considered likely that they will hasten to release the captive as soon as they can secure the ransom and then disperse to their homes. No word has come from the missionaries, though w. w. Peet, treasurer of the mission here, to whom they would communicate, is still most hopeful. MT. Peet is not ex- pecting news until he is asked to for
 ward the gold, which it is estimated
 will weigh between 300 and 400 pounds.
