 The new street signs ordered by the board of public works were erect ed in Brooklyn to-day. Apparently this section of the city was the last to receive the new signs. But as long as they have finally arrived the residents of this locality are satis- fled. The street sign man said this morning that he had one sign too many. How is that7' he was asked. Well, when took the name of Lib- erty street over on South Main street I was so sure that the street extended to Bank that I also jotted down an order for a Bank-Liberty street sign" You are much ahead of the time," replied the Brooklyn ite. If we give you another order perhaps twenty years from now, that sign may be of use to you. Don't lose it."
 Hurry, officer, hurry, that wom- ans husband is killing her. shouted l someone to Patrolman Finton Tehan
 as he was standing on the corner of
 Bank street and Washington avenue Saturday afternoon. The patrolman was startled, but on looking around
 he saw woman standing on q veranda of the block at the corner named above. She was waving her hands wildly and screeching in man. ner that would make envious fresh-
 man at slambang football game. Tehan hurried and was informed by
 the woman that foreigner in one of the houses near by was murdering his wife. Hear her cries. she said,
 as pitiful sob came to their ears. The patrolman went where directed
 and sure enopgh there was a woman weeping as though her heart would break. And her husband was the cause of 1t, but not in the manner in which the other woman stated The man was dying and his wife, realizing that he was very i'll, was uttering some heart rending walls. The officer succeeded in quieting her. He said it was a most pathetic case. The pool has dried out. It has
 been filling for q long time and was almost overfiowing Saturday night when a chicken" walked in and be- fore he was through looking things over there was very litle left for the other birds. Chicken" 0'Brien of Charles street won the base ball pool
 which has been on in Brooklyn for the past eight weeks. By having teams which made the most number of runs he pocketed S100. Michael Cowley was second, he being able to collect $20 of the $2S which O'Brien left. Hogan" Clark received third money for having the smallest num- Der of rooms of any in the pool. Cowley and Cronin had q good chance of beating 0'Brien out, but the lat ter's luck is said to be unbeatable. Cronin was only few runs behind and had Springfield Saturday, but F. Farley made his chances look so small that when one turned them sideways they could not be seen. Each man put in fifty cents a week and there were thirty-two perosns in the pool. Each gne had a different team each week, either in the National. American, Eastern or State. 0'Brien intends to serve a spread to his friends on the money won.
