BROOKLYN BRIEFS

The Devils path" which leads from Bank street to Jewelry street, has been repaired lately and Is now in fairly good condition now.
 The Benedict S Burnham company is preparing for the erection of a new building which will be utilized as boiler room in addition to the room now used as a machine shop. The present boiler room will be used as part of the casting room. The new building will be erected by the side of the machine shop and will extend into the Naugatuck river about 80 feet or so. It will be made of stone and brick.
 The residents of Porter, South Leon ard and other streets in the vicinity of the Fry foundry are finding much fault with the manner in which smoke is swept from that concern about the neighborhood. The housess nearby be- come filled with smoke if the windows or doors of the houses are left open for any length of time. It is said that the cause of it all is the manner in which the employees light the fires and the material they use for the fires Whatever is the cause, the smoke has become nuisance to the nearby resi- dents.

LAST BATTALION DRILL.
Good Audience Present in Spite of the
 Indictment Weather

Good Audience Present in Spite of the
 Indictment Weather
 The last battalion drill by the local companies of the c. N. C.. was held ill the armory last evening. Notwith- standing the inclement weather the in- vitations issued by the committee of arrangements were heartily responded to, as was shown by the very large at tendance by the public. Music for the occasion was furnished by the Ameri- can band. The drill was under the dl- rection of Major John c. Tillson Of New Haven. The exercises opened with bugle call for guard mount at o'clock ,and the guard was immediate ly formed by Acting AdJutant Edward L. Garter and Sergeant MaJor A. F. Barnes of New Haven. The officer or the day was Captain Carter of Com pany A, wit. Captain Fitzpatrick of Company G as old officer of the day. First -.eutenant Halpin of CoMpany G was commander of the guard and Lieu tenant Sackett of Company A super numerary officer of the guard Inspec- ton of arms being over, battalion was formed and the entire body moved in review in four divisions commanded re- spectively by Lieutenants Halpin, Sandland, Hallinan and Captain Car ter.
 Colonel Sucher was the reviewing officer and at the reviewing stand wi,n him were Captain Welles of New Ha- ven, Lieutenant-Co Colonel Geddes of this city, Colonel Burpee, retired, and Col onel Doherty, retired; Lieutenants Kill martin and Goss. The exercises con cluded with a salute to the colors and dress parade. Following this was a dance, which continued as long as there was step left in the dancers.

ARMORY INADEQUATE.
A Costly and Inefficient Building,
 Were Remarks Heard Last Night.

A CoStly ana Inemclent Building,
 Were Remarks Heard Last Night.
 During the military exercises at the armory last evening it became fre- quently apparent that the hall is far too small for the purposes for which It was built. Several times the men got tied up in corners and the slight est excitement on the part of anyone would have involved the whole battal- ion ill silly confusion and broken ranks. After the drill, then, the us- lal annual comment was made upon the armory; that it is far too small for the requirements of such building; that it is situated i'll a bad place and that it is one of the costliest and one of the most inefficient armories in the state.
 One of the officers, talking to Dem ocrat reporter, said that more inap- propriate place the armory could not well be in. Ever since it was built it has been a source of expense to the state. It requires an annual outlay of about $500. Leakages in the roof, in the walls, something or other oc- CUTS every year that demands an ex- penditure of about $500.
 But aside from this view of the question, proper habitation for the local military" this authority went on, look at the location. There is not an armory in the whole state situat- ed as this one is. Elsewhere through out the state you will find the armor- ies situated in a front street or in q back street where it has a command ing approach. Here 1t is so built that in case of trouble the military would be at the mercy of the mob, If the mob happened to be an intelligent mob. The sidewalk on the Abbott avenue side of the arinory is on lev Tel with the windows and there the mob could hold the military at bay; block up every soldier in the city un- less a great loss of life was resolved upon. The two approaches to the ar mory could be held by any intelligent crowd of angry or desperate men. But such q view of the situation, while 1t may be extreme, is nevertheless a very proper one. An armory that may serve as trap for those who are maintained to preserve the peace in case of trouble, is worse than no ar mory, infinitely worse. Furthermore, it is far too small to allow the move ments of battalion drill to be exc cuted even with the limited number of men employed as there was this evening. You saw that all the men were not in line. I should say, as you ask me about It. that it would be very advisable to sell the property. It would draw big sum and q larger and better equipped building could be built elsewhere, not so near the city, but in far better position. The | II. s-l, sf, The property was owned by the late Major Spencer. He was then in the National Guard himself and took a good deal of interest i'll it. There are q, number of places where 8 fine ar mory could be built, not by any means in or near the center, and for great deal less than great many people would think. I should think that al- most every man who uses the armory will admit that it is inadequate for it's requirements"

HE TURNED REDHEADED.
Change That Came Over Merrill
 Gridley at the County Jail.

S.
 Gridley at the County Jail.
 Hartford, May 20.-Merrill s. Grid ley, who was arrested here on Thanksgiving Day and sentenced to jail for an attempt at pocket picking, completed his sentence yesterday. When he was released Detective Ser geant Farrell and detective from Boston were present and he was i'm mediately arrested and will be taken to Boston, where he is wanted for lar ceny. After his arrest at the jail he was taken to the police court to an- swer to the charge of being fugi- tive from justice. He pleaded not guilty and will not return to Boston without requisition. The case against him was continued to this morning that the Boston detective can obtain from Governor Mclean the necessary papers to take him out of Connecticut
 Gridley, alias. Jones, appeared a much different man in the police court yesterday morning than he did when he appeared last fall His long con- finement at the jail gave opportunity for the dye which he had on his hair to wear off and the Merrill S. Gridley v had bright red hair and bright red moustache, which he grew during his confinement at the jail. One of the reporters who saw him when he was first arraigned told him he had changed considerably since he was last in court The prisoner only smiled and said that he would not re- turn to Boston without requisition.
 Gridley was examined closely at the time of his arrest on Thanksgiving Day, but the fact that his hair was dyed was not detected by the police. Chief Bill at the time of the arrest of the man had copy of paper issued by a detective bureau and there was a picture of a man in 1t who was wanted in Boston. The picture re- sembled Gridley and the man was brought from a cell and asked if he he'd ever seen the man of the picture. He said that he had not. The mans hair was brushed over his forehead and for the purpose of making a closer comparison with the picture Chief Bill brushed the hair back, but it was not detected by anyone that Gridley's hair had been dyed Chief Bill was positive that the prisoner was the man of the picture and he notified the Boston detective bureau and the request came from Boston to hold him, as he was wanted there. Grid1ey with five others was bound over to the March term of the crim- inaI court for pocket picking, but as the December term of the court was in session at the time, they were brought before that session on bench warrants. They all pleaded guilty to an attempt at pocket picking and were sentenced to jail. Gridley was the last of the crowd to complete his sentence.
 Yesterday morning Governor Me Lean, at his office in the capitol granted requisition from Governor Crane of Massachusetts for the re- moval of Gridley to Boston. and au- thorized ". F. Cassidy. the Massachu- setts officer, to convey him to that city.

 Sidewalks Out of Order Must Be Re-
 paired Before September.
 The board of aldermen met last night. e-President F. W. Chesson presiding The absentees were Alder men Goss, Kcefe, O'Brien and Pagan.
 The list containing the names and addresses of 1000 property owners whose sidewalks are out of repair re- ferred to the aldermen by the board of public safety with recommendation that the different walks mentioned therein be repaired by September of this year was received and the recom- mendation adopted Alderman Stan- ley thought the law date was too far away. He believed that the condition of some of the walks demanded at tention right away. If they are not fixed, said MT Stanley, people will break their limbs on them and then the city will be sued MT Blakeslee said that the board of public works had given this matter considerable at tention and decided that it would be doing well to get all the work cleared up by the first of September. He said people are meeting taxes and water rents just now and it might be hardship to many to be compelled to do anything on their sidewalks just now.
 The following petitions were refer red to the board of public works: James B. Cahill ct al, fer sidewalks on Washington street from Baldwin street easterly; N. J. Welton ct al, for the layout of Greenmount terrace from Bank and Fifth street southerly; c. H. Bronson ct al, for layout of and building lines on Highland avenue from West Main street to Ledgeside avenue; Chase Rolling Mill Go for per mission to move two barns from the west side of Vine street to the com pany's property on the east side; build ing lines on Oak street from Walnut to Rose and on Rose street from Wal nut to Oak
 The petition of the Southern N. E. Telephone Co for permission to lay conduits in several of the public streets was received and referred to the board of public works.
 All the recommendations of the board of public works, published here ill before, was adopted.
 The board then adjourned.
