BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Patrick Clarke, Emil Ryder and
Anthony Carroll. well known members
of the Brooklyn Athletic club, have
gone to Worcester Mass, where they
thave secured employment in one of
the factories.
MIR and Mrs L. Getreich rendered
a farewell reception TO number of
their friends at their home on Grand
view Heights on Tuesday night.
Many friends were present and the
evening was merrily spent. There
was singing and dancing and an inn
promptu entertainment. Mr. and Mrs
Getreich, who left for Florida yester-
day, where they will reside in the
future, were the Recipients of many
well wishes from their friends.
Joseph Wagner of Riverside
street, age ten years, met with an I'M
fortunate accident yesterday after.
noon about four o'clock. He was try
ing to jump a freight on the Highland
division near the Bank street crossing
when he slipped and fell. The wheels
passed over his right hand and all his
fingers were cut off. His hand was
badly cut, battered and lacerated.
The boy was carried to DR. Russell's
office, where his injuries were dressed.
lie was 1dIcr LdkGu W AuG uOSplld1.
1t is not known as yet whether or not
the hand must be amputated.
Notwithstanding all the warning
which they have received, and the
many accidents in which boys have
lost their lives or were seriously IN
jured, which have occurred as the re-
suit Of boys trying to steal ride on
freight trains, MANY youths still per-
sist in indulging in this dangerous
practice. AT various points along the
line of the Highland division, boys
congregate for the sole purpose of
hopping freights. Living examples of
the dangers of this practice, boys with
an arm off or leg missing, do not
serve as a warning for these boys.
They continue their foolhardy pas
time. Parents cannot prevent it, for
they cannot be watching their chill
dren every minute during the day
time. In the minds of some residents
of this section the brakemen are par
TALLY guilty. These residents claim
that the brakemen do not prevent the
boys from hopping the freights, but
practically wink at them. Brakemen
should be instructed to take every pre-
caution to prevent the boys from in
dulging in such practice
This is the season of the year when
housekeepers are getting ready to
clean house aud property owners are
preparing to paint their houses. Re-
member that the articles needed to do
these things properly can be secured at
A. G. Walkers pharmacy. The best
goods, the cheapest prices.

WATER STILL HOLDS DIVER.
Comrades Will Not Give Up Rescue
Work.


BOONTON, N. j.. April A. The
body of William Hoar, the New York
diver who was caught and held fast at
the bottom of the Jersey City reservoir
here on Monday afternoon while en-
deavoring to close leak from an in
take pipe, has not been recovered yet.
There has been no signal from the
unfortunate man since noon Tuesday,
and it lis believed he Is dead.
Although hope of bringing Hoar to
the surface alive has been practically
abandoned, the air pump was kept go
ing all night sending down air, as there
was a bare possibility that there might
be some life left.
The air pump was removed from the
raft anchored at the spot where the
diver went down and placed on the
stone dam. Gangs OF men relieved
each other during the night at the
pump, which is still going steadily.
The men at the pump say they will not
stop work until the diver or his body
has been brought to the surface.
Another gang OF men was at work
all night trying to dam the conduit
outside the dam.

Counsel of the Defense

Pritchard. This was to sustain the
charges brought against Gron that he
had been tried in the District Supreme
Court and found guilty OF crime in
volving moral turpitude-
Attorney Maddox spoke of Groff's long
service on the police force. and pleaded
mot guilty" for his client. although he
admitted he could not deny, the charges
as shown by the court records. He
criticised the action OF the jury in con-
victing Grom, and called the attention
of the board to Holmes Conrads state
ment before the jury that there was not
enough evidence to convict a man.
Mr.. Stephens said that Conrad had
made the statement attributed to him
by Mr.. Maddox. but he contended that
the jury was the final Judge In the mat
ter.
Mr.. Maddox suggested. at the conclu-
sion of the hearing. that, If necessary,
Croft be suspended without pay and that
no opinion be given on the case until
Croft appeal had been heard before the
Court of Appeals. The policeman has
been drawing $50 month since his ar
rest May q last. but has not been on ac-
tive duty.
Wher the opinion Of the trial board
on the case has been submitted to Major
