BR00KLYN BRIEFS.

There will be meeting this evening of the committee which ia making arrangements for the cele- Dration to be given in honor of the B. A. c. team winning the champion ship of the City league.
 Miss Virginia Cummings of Tor rington was visiting in this section yesterday.
 Yesterday afternoon about 1 o'clock one of tho cars on the Bank street line was delayed considerably by the breaking of pole.
 The Brooklyn firemen certainly did good work in getting to the fire yesterday, and anyone who could have seen them at the blaze would have secuted the Idea that every thing was not harmonious in No house. Captain Dunn's men were the first to arrive at the fire and had two extinguishers on the blaze before any other company arrived.
 There was considerable trouble with the trolley wires near the Bank street bridge this morning, as they fell in two or three different places during the forenoon. Although they did not create nearly the excitement caused by the falling of the wires in Exchange place on Tuesday, still they made much confusion and had pedes- trians on uneasy street for time, as the thoroughfare is very narrow ut the. point mentioned and the wires fell almost on the walk. The big wagon was in Brooklyn some time after the break and men were soon at work repairing the wires. There seems to be something wrong with the manner in which the wires are now being erected, as they are caus- ing trouble almost every day.
 The Lithuanians in Brooklyn are much disturbed over the disappear ance of Miss Elizabeth Szimkaite, who left her home Sunday morning and has not been heard from since. As the lady, who is about 30 years of age. was much thought of by her ac- quaintances. and has never left home before, there is considerable alarm in Brooklyn over her disappearance. Miss Szimkaite has been living with her sister on North Leonard street, and the lady did not seem to be in any way discontented, nor was there any apparent reason why she should leave home. Nevertheless, after at- tending church on Sunday morning she went to her home and after dressing in her best gown departed. stating that she was going to visit one of her friends. It was thought each day that the girl would surely return. and Anthony Ruscz, her uncle. who resides on Railroad Hill street. became thoroughly alarmed when his niece did not return Mon- day. Since that time he has been communicating with relatives in New York. but has received no informa- ton as to the whereabouts of the girl All Brooklyn has become interested in the case and some wild stories have been the re- suit. Last night there was considera- bic excitement when # was rur1ored that the woman had been found near the Riverside cemetery with her throat cut open. 4 number of peo- pie hustled to the place. but found there was no truth to the story. Oth- CTS declare that the girl eloped. but this the girls relatives deny. as they claim she had no friends among the stronger sex. kt any rate her friends are much disturbed over the absent one and all information concerning her will be gladly received at 3I Rail- road Hill street or at the police sta- tion- The following description of Miss Szirnkaite has been sent out Medium height. light hair, blue eyes and large features.
