BLAZE NEAR GAS HOLDER.
Large Number OF Brooklyn Ftremen Called
Out as q PrecautlOn.

A fire in Brooklyn yesterday mornin q
created a good deal Of alarm in the neigh
borhood of Third avenue and Degraw
street, though it caused a loss Of only
IS, 600.
When the firemen responded to the first
alarm, a few minutes before 8 O'Clock, they
found the flames blazing ~iercely all through
the two story brick building at 600 Degraw
street, occupied by the Central Brass Manu-
featuring Company. which makes picture
frames and similar articles. The fire had
also reached some Of the heaps of lumber
stacked in the yards of John H. Gass, who
has q sawmill at 597-8O5 Sackett street,
directly in the rear of the brass company's
plant.
AS the holder OF the Brooklyn Union Gas
Company is just across the way on Degraw
street, the hremen took no chances, but
sent in two more alarms hand running.
For an hour or so 1t looked as il the whole
block bounded by Third and Fourth
avenues and Degraw and Sackett streets,
which is strewn with ramshackle frame
buildings and lumber and junk yards,
might be wiped out, but by hard fighting
the flames we're confined to the brass COM
pany 3 plant and the sawmill, although it
was nearly noon before they were finally
ex~tinguished. -
The Central Brass Company's plant, In
the boiler house Of which the blaze is sup
posed to have started, was damaged to the
extent Of $500. Gass places his loss at
81. 300.

AN AMATEUR SIN HUNTER.
settlement Worker Helps Detective Bag
One Wanderer OF the Streets.

Frof. Hamilton Of the University Settle
ment on Eldridge street made no bones
about telling Police Inspector Nally that he
did not think the police were in earnest
when they arrested women for street walk
ing and arraigned them in court with very
little evidence. The Inspector said that his
plain clothes men were known to all OF the
women of the streets and this prevented
them from getting evidence.
The settlement professor decided to find
out for himself and instructed one of his
workers, Joseph Siefer, to go out and watch
how the detectives did this work. 1t vas

Element worker left the Fifth street station
with Detective Mueller for a stroll " the

They went to Second avenue and walked
down to Second street and crossed over to
the Bowery. On Second avenue a girl took
the settlement worker by the coat sleeve,
but happening to glance at his COM
panion she let 60 his arm and ran away.
On their walk to the Bowery they passed
several women who looked at them but did
not speak to them.
When they got to the Bowery they stood
on the corner for a time and caught sight Of
a girl standing near an elevated railroad
pillar. The two could see her trying to
get passing men into conversation. FL

LAKEWOOD, N. j., Dec. 18.-They are
still whooping out at Georgian Court, the

visited the gun club grounds this morning
and shot clay pigeons between whoops.
Kingdom Gould is a crack pigeon shot and
has cracked thirty out Of thirty many times.
This morning, however, he wasn't much
OF a shot. Once when he had the gun
levelled and the cough got him everybody
near by ran to cover as there was no telling
Just where the shot would strike. No one
was injured, however. Kingdom said that
the family considered the whooping cough
epidemic very much as a huge Joke, except
when all hands got to ~whooping.
Mrs. Gould is doing better than the others.
