every single word, is ungrammatical.

MOLLY MOoNsHINE..

There were just two characters in the new musical play last evening at Poli's theater that were pleasing and successful. and these two were Marie Cahill herself as Molly Moonshine and George Beban as Marcel Barbier. The makeup of some of the other charac- ters was very well conceived. The set tings were beautiful and appropriate. The chorus was only ordinary and while some of the music was catchy and well rendered. there was no great amount of enthusiasm expended by the audience. Miss Cahill displayed mary original mannerisms and creat- ed a most favorable impression and her singing. while not what might be expected. was done in such chic manner that the audience took To her at once. Her two best songs were Don't Be What You AiB't- and Il Am Locking for My Ten" As clever bit of character acting as has bern seen oa the local stage in many sea- sons was that of Beban in the iinIsr- s0nation of Napoleon. IL was clear. concise. not Dvervione. and his song of -Napcleon Bonaparte- with the assist acne of the chorus was a bright hit in thc entertainment.

The increase of scholars ill this section at the opening of the schools in this dis trict last September was so large that for a time the children could not be accommodated. An addition of four rooms will be built on the Bank street school and the educational cominis- sioners think that this will suffice for some time at least. Brooklyn's in- crease ill regard to the children attend ing the public schools has been sur prising and if it keeps up at the rate that 1t has been going, in few years another new school will be needed

LOMBARD ESTATE
Motion Made To-day to Compel Aduinistratsrs
 to Settle.

Attorney Byrne filed motion in the probate court this morning to compel Mary and Margaret Lombard to settle up the estate of their mother, who died recently at her home on Baldwin street
 About ten years ago John Lombard. the father. died. leaving his wife and seven children. Mrs Eugene Hosey. Mrs Kenny, Mrs Dennis Delaney and Mary, Margaret. John and James Lom- bard. Mir Lombard's estate consisted of house and some cash and both he left to his widow for life. After her death he provided that Mary and Mar garet should each receive 10 per cent of the estate, John and James should get S1 each and the balance be dis tributed between the others. Mary and Margaret were appointed exeeu- trices on the estate of the mother, and since then Mrs Kenny has died, leay- ing some minor children. Those inter- ested in the matter can see no reason why the executrices have not long since settled up the estate and made the proper distribution of it. Of course Mir Kenny's portion will go to her children. The. motion filed this morning by Attorney Byrne will be heard in a week.

Reference to the Holy Name socie- ties at the Business Mems banquet the other night was very timely, for it brings before the public the good ac- complished by the different organiza- tions throughout the land. Many per- sons will be attracted to St Patrick's church Sunday evening at 7:3O when special service will be conducted, the intention being the honoring of bim whose name should always be uttered with reverence. but many times is used in the vilest manner. Rev Faties Sheehan will deliver the address, and his name alone should pack the sps- ciOus edifice to the doors. for he has lectured at many public gatherings throughout the state and the press pro nounce him an eloquent speaker. The Holy Name societies of the city will occupy the place of honor. but the ushers will see that everybody will he seated.

A GREAT DISASTER
Haverstraw Landslide Buried Twenty Three
 Persous


 HAVERSTRAW, N. Y., Jan. 1O.-A large force of men worked almost fran. tically to uncover the ruins of the houses carried down in the landslide here. There has been little success owing to the great mass of clay to be moved and to the fact that where the houses had burned the debris was so hot that the work was very slow. It is estimated that twenty three or more persons were dead as result of the falling away of the ground and the fire that followed.
 The accident, which brought sudden or lingering death to more than score of persons who in their own homes had no idea that they were in danger, was of an extraordinary character. Women and children, sleeping peacefully in their beds, were pinioned and buried in debris when their homes toppled over a precipice hundred feet high and crum- bled and smashed in ruin. From the heaped up wreckage flames began to leap before there was time to realize exactly what had happened. and smoke and suffocating gases brought slow death to those whose lives had not been crushed out or whom the fire had not reached
 The appalling character of the acci- dent was heightened by the failure of the water supply. due to the bursting of the big main that supplied the neigh boring hydrants. When the tons of soft clay slipped away from under the row of houses on the bank the main was left unsupported and the torrents of water that might have been used in fighting the flames ran to waste.
 The firemen were helpless in the face of this disaster. The wrecked houses became huge bonfire, which blazed for hours. Rescue work was we'll nigh impossible. and the firemen and specta- tors could do little but look on while the helpless victims perished.
 The twelve wrecked houses were on Rockland, near Division street. Near by. at level hundred feet below. is a brickyard. Workmen excavating the strata of clay in the direction of the houses had undermined the ground on which the houses stood, but no one sus- pected danger. The catastrophe came at midnight. The strata of clay and earth crumbled and poured like sludge into the brickyard, and the houses on the edge of the cliff came tumbling down in ruin.
 There is no likelihood of recovering a single body from under the clay. The rescue party might as we'll have work. ed with picks and shovels on granite for the clay resisted all their efforts. and the work has been abandoned. Above the thousands of tons of fallen clay there is only one house showing, and. strange to say. it was the only unoccupied one of the twelve that went down into the great Assure.

FIRE LAST NIGHT
Tenants in Dougherty Block on East Main Street Got
 a Scare.

Shortly after midnight last night fire was discovered ill the dry goods store of Miss Josephine Hurley ill the DOugherty block on East Main street and although the firemen. responded promptly to an alarm. the blaze had gained sufficient headway to cause considerable excitement among the tenants, all of whom were in bed, but it didn't take them long to get out in the street. The damage to the build ing was slight, but between smoke, water and fire most of Miss Hurley's stock was ruined. She carried insur- ance amounting to $500. but this was far below the value of the stock and fixtures She closed the place at s o'clock in the evening and at that time there was no fire in the stove. The source of the trouble was some dis tance from where the stove stood and must have resulted from spontaneous combustion.

RAILROAD WORK
Massive Foundation for the W..h. ington Avenue Bridge
 Laid.

The men labOring on the work for
 the Consolidated road have been ia. vored with fine weather the past fo,rr
 or five months and as result tho
 task of getting things in readiness for
 the new union station has proceeded in surprisingly rapid manner. The work of eliminating the Porter street crossing is now in progress and the street at this point is blocked. The road bed for d distance of about fifty
 feet has been dug away and the dirt is being used for grading purposes in that vicinity. The tracks will be raised only about five feet, but the crossing will be thing of the past. as the road bed will be about twenty feet below. It is understood that much grading will not be done here, and if this is so the value of property adjoin. ing will be lessened considerably.
 The foundations for bridge on Wash- ington avenue have been laid and the walls are completed They are very large and present rather an attractive sight because of their massiveHess. The walls are joined to the abutment on which the various tracks will be laid The old bridge, which is a short distance from the other, is being torn down and one of cement will replace it. When it is completed there will be two fine bridges on this street.
 There are three houses still standing on Simon street and they look lonely and desolate because their companions long since have been taken away. When these structures will be re- moved is not known. but 1t is not like. ly they will be touched before spring Down at the acid factory gang of men are making many improvements, and new bridge is being built there also The work which attracts the most attention is the abutment which is being constructed and it is a caution to watch this being built It is being put mp in jig time for such mor- strOus undertaking and people who have not visited the section in some time will be almost dumbfounded be- cause of the condition of things. It is certainly a big piece of work and will cost the Consolidated handsome sum of money before it is completed. An other feature of the work is the scarci- ty of accidents. Although the number of men is large and the work in some places dangerous, hardly bruise has been received by any of the laborers
