 The broncho which was formerly
 owned by the late Anthony Stazokas, and which has been doing all kinds of stunts in Brooklyn since 1t was pur- chased last fall is still alive and kick ing, and went ol another of its mad ,fv,or
 broncho during the first couple of
 weeks it was in harness, demolished a
 wagon almost every day, but the own- CT was not at all discouraged bIt
 tried again and again to break the
 plug in. It was all to no effect and al-
 though at times it acted as a horse
 should act, at another time it was like some crazy animal, and was terror
 to teamsters. Several times it has
 thrown its drivers into the street and
 not long ago Peter Simon was almost
 killed by being thrown from the car
 riage when the broncho started on gallop down West side hill. It has been under cover for some time, but this morning about 9:30 1t was stand ing on South Leonard street. Without a warning it was off and turned into Bank street at a two minute clip It travelled along Bank street despite the efforts of teamsters to bring it to halt. tI went up James street, down John on to Green and into North Riverside coming out on Bank once more and heading for McGrath's meat market. Here it fell on its knees and thus it's mad run was ended, the car
 Although 1t happened Monday, those who figured in the incident have kept the affair to themselves, but 1t has finally leaked out how Eddie Donahue, Charlie Bauby and Henry OConnor got stranded five miles out side New Haven in Bauby's automo- bile last Monday. Monday afternoon the trio in the attorneys machine started for the Elm City and the pooh pooh wagon went along all right un- til the fellows had almost reached their destination. We will just get down there in time to have a little fun and then start home" said Dona- hue. There will be plenty of time to spare said O'Connor, but chauffeur BalHbby alHbby reIDained as still as a mouse as he knew the machine was likely to go up at any moment. The journey would have ended all right if it were not for the carelessness of O'Connor. who did not look after the gasoline tank in the proper manner. It was just five miles from New Haven when Bauby started to fill up the machine with gasoline. He told O'Connor to tell him when there was sufficient in the tank. but the latter did not pay any attention, so the tank was oyer loaded. Shortly after there was an ex- pl0si0n and there was nothing left but take the car to a garage where 1t was left until the next. day. Early on morning Bauby might have been seen hustling to the station to take an early train to New Haven for the purpose of bringing his gasoline He is not likely to toke O'Connor and Donahue on any mu,e rides.
 "A most interesting session of the Brooklyn and Town Plot committee was held in the lyceum last evening several subjects which are of much interest to the people at the present time being discussed. The plan of buying coal and selling 1t to Brook lyn residents came in for hearing in an informal way as did the scheme of advocating some measure in order to get cheaper ice for the public. The committee seemed pleased because of the fact that the bond issue project ! seems to be under way. Hans Ras- thought that S300.O00 would | be nice sum for the first issue and said that it would not increase the l taxes much as the grand list would | be swelled. Mir Henderson agreed 1 with him and stated that the issue | of bonds cannot come any too soon l In order that Brooklyn and all other | parts of the city may receive improve ments that have long been sought af- | ter and are sadly needed. n. ]. Ma l nancy who owns considerable prop | arty and who is member of the | bond issue committee appointed by i fhe mayor stated that in his opinion i the sum of s3Oo.0O0 was by far too 1 large for the first issue. He asserted | that the present rate of taxation is high enough at the present and sees i no reason why it will not be much | larger if the bonding scheme Is car riei out on a large scale. Mir Hen i ierson showed that with the increase of the grand list the tax rate would l not be raised. Attorney Lynch gave an account of the hearing which MT i Henderson and himself had with the 1 mayor yesterday. an account of which ras ,,rinfa,5 in fha Defnocraf lagf eve
