 -Qpe of the most daring cases of theft that occurred in Brooklyn in some time took place on South Leon- ard street last evening when Mamie Reynolds. years of age, was re-
 lieved of $10 by a fellow who said he would get 1t changed for her. Mamie, who lives with her mother and stepfather over Dunn's saloon on the street mentioned above, was sent out of the house last evening to change $10 bill. As she was about to pass the back door of the cafe a man happened to be near the door and seeing. the money in her hand he thought perhaps that she was go- ing to get 1t changed. She said she wanted to get the bill broke, so he agreed to get it changed. He went in the rear door of the saloon and when he did not re-appear within about ten minutes, the girl ran up stairs and related to MT Malesky, her stepfather, what had happened. He was enraged and dashed down stairs into the saloon, but there was no one there who knew anything about the changing of the money. me fellow who went off with the ten-spot evil dently just walked through the sa- loon and out the front way without attracting much notice.
 -ITere was special meeting of the Brooklyn and Town Plot Im- provement committee held last even ing to take action to compel the mcm- bers of the bond commission to get together to do the work for which they were appointed by the mayor There were twelve members present the largest number that has at- tended a session since the cQ(nmis- sion came into existence. Among those present was Alderman y R. Walker, who spoke briefly on i'm provements in Brooklyn and gave his opinion in regard to what it would cost to. straighten Bank street near the bridge. It is his impression that the board of works will have the work done even though he is sure that 1t will cost more than S3O.00o. He is of the supposltion that the city when it starts the work, will remove the old bridge and erect new one. At a last nights session the matter of the railroad encroaching on city property on Washington avenue was again brought up. It is where the abutments extend about three inches over the railroad property. The mat ter has already been threshed out by the aldermen. the last time it was brought before that. body by Alder man Malone. the members thought 1t was huge joke and had hearty laugh over the affair. Alderman Walker last evening stated that it was such a small matter 1t would not be worth small matter it would not On his advice the discussion ended. Hans Rasmussen and Andrew Brod- erick were appointed delegates .o meeting at which representatives. from all improvement societies will be present to adopt some measure which will urge the bond committee to hold a meeting shortly. Patrick McNamara declared 1t was shame the manner in which the city admin istrations for the past eighteen years have been spending the Brooklyn money in other sections of the city. John Henderson censured John r. Elton. chairman of the bond commit xzA n..1 says that the other members should meet even though no meeting Is call ed.
