BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

The fair of the Brooklyn Ath-
 letic club will start on Saturday ev-
 ening. The Brooklyn Athletic club will
 meet tonight for practice at the
 corner of West Porter and Bank
 streets. -s.-
 Although the water poured down the side streets yesterday and last evening as far as is known very little damage was done in this sec tion.
 Dog Warden Trask was in Boroklyn this morning and captured black and brown arbbit dog which had no collar. When last seen he was on his way up town with the dog. .
 There will be several junior football teams in Brooklyn this sea- son. They are already practicing and couple of games have been ar ranged for the coming Sunday. As in other kinds of sports the Brooklyn youth is well able to hold up his end.
 Not only should the people of this section feel pleased that the rain of yesterday and last evening sent a large amount of water into the reserN cir but there is cause for re- joicing recause the Naugatuck river has received much needed cleaning. ::ucause Of tf.c dry sea a,.. the Naug- atuck looked as though some one had stolen the water and it's banks were a sight, especially in this section. All kinds of old rubbish and waste have occupied resting places on the sight ly banks and the aroma from this permeated the Brooklyn atmosphere and made the residents realize that they were not living amongst beau tiful flower gardens. The storm caused the river to rise several feet and this morning it appeared as a stream even though no gondolas were seen going up or down.
 Although of late there have been no heated arguments as regards poli- tics in this section, still some might develop before election day The feel ing on Town Plot still runs high and the coming battle is discussed even more than the Wolcott and Harwin- ton fairs. It is said that members of the republican party have been show ing their friends how to paste one of the aldermanic candidates of the third ward. The machine in the Monitor house on Bank street has come in mighty handy and the "soreheads" of the g. o. D. have not failed to take the opportunity to get in some good work for the democratic aldermen. Although the primary fight has been apparently forgotten, 1t still rankles the breast of many who will, if they have the courage of their convictions, slash their alder men in the third on October 2. It does not appear as though the Brook lyn and Town Plot Improvement so- ciety would take an active interest as a body in the election. Only one more meeting is to be held before the day of election and that on the Fri day preceding the day on which the votes will be boiled.

THE POLICE COURT.
Carl Bramberg Committed to Brook.
 side for Thirty Days.

Carl Bramberg, a carpenter went on rampage last evening at his home on Greenmount terrace. He has been drinking of late and last even- ing he smashed things right and left at his home, and when Officers s. Mccarthy and Healey got there they found the floors strewn with broken furniture, crockery and food, and his family in hiding among the neigh bors. He told the police that he thought he could do as he wished with his own house, burn 1t if he pleased, but he was undeceived, and in the city court this morning was quite repentant. He had nothing to say for himself only that he had not been quite himself. He was con- mitted to Brookside for thirty days and fined $5 and costs on charges of intoxication, breach of the peace and resisting the police.
 The Polish club on South Main street paid s75 in settlement of the three counts for violating the liquor laws.

Locust Trees,

Farmers who are planting locust trees declare that there is no more profitable way of utilizing cheap land. They figure in this way: Two thousand four hundred trees can be planted to an acre. In eight years these trees will be large enough to cut for fence posts, and each tree will yield two posts. At retail these posts will be worth % cents each, or 50 cents tree That means at retail crop worth $1,200 per acre at the end of eight years, or an average of $15O an acre a year.-Kansas City Journal.

 gan's Sister.IR.LaW Taken.

Mayor Thoms and Attorney Lynch returned home this noon from New York where they have been taking the deposition of Mrs Margaret Kind regan widow of William, alias Patrick Kindregan brother of the late Jo- seph W. Kindregan. Mrs Kindregan testified that her husbands name was Patrick but for reasons known only to himself he changed it to William. Joseph Kindregan silver smith ill Waterbury was his brother and one time about twenty-five years ago Will liam visited Joseph here. On his re- turn he told his wife that Joseph was living in room that was so small he could hear a dog bark nine miles away. About twenty years ago Will liam left for the west and soon after his wife heard from a lawyer there, whose name she could not recall, that her husband had died leaving no es- tate. Mrs Kindregan's children are heirs to the estate left by Joseph, some $60,OOO

THE TRANSFORM
DeIuge Helped to Fill Up ihe
 Reservoirs.

The rainstorm of last night was the
 severest that visited Waterbury in
 years and while it didn't fill up the
 reservoir so that water is splashing
 over the spillway, it went some dis
 tance in that direction and put Sup
 erintendent Kennedy in position to
 feel little easier about the supply
 than he has been for several weeks.
 There is no denying the fact that the
 water in the branch reservoir was get
 ting down pretty low and if the dry
 spell had lasted much longer it is doubtful if there would be any water
 in the reservoirs fit for domestic use
 outside what would be available at East Mountain, and that might soon give out, too The deluge last night amounted to 359. The total pre- clpitation this month So far as meas ured by MT Welton foots up BPS, the hlgnest for September in years. Last year for the whole month the precipi- tation amounted to only 1.92; in 1905 It was APT and in 1904 it reached SOP The present storm set in last Satur- day with a good thunder shower, but it cleared off during the night and held off all day Sunday until evening.
 It rained some on and off during the forenoon yesterday, but about 5 o'clock it started to pour and kept at IL Tor over three hours. At times the wind was high and people who were out had difficult job to keep on their feet. Some of the streets were converted into veritable rivers and the rush of water and everything it pick ed up in its flight was so great that many of the catch basins got choked. Streets that had just been put in nice condition and would not need any more attention for the balance Of the season, were gullied and one would think by looking at them to-day that there never was a dollar spent on them. But after all the damage done in this way was far from being as heavy as it used to be before the con- duits were built in some of the hilly streets, and yet the water rose higher about the depot and in other places than 1t has for a long time. Many feared considerable damage will re- suit from the fierce wind, but beyond taking off brick here and there. throwing shingles out of their beds and making things dance about back verandas nothing worth mentioning resulted from the racket.
 But the real point of interest in this storm pertains to the reservoirs. Peo- pie don't like to be deprived of the use of their garden hose, but so long as there was danger of a water fam inc they were willing to roll up their hose and let their plants die, but in do- ing this they were making a great sacrifice and they don't want to keep it up any longer than it is really neces- sary.
 The streams about the branch rose rapidly and all kept running into the big pond with such rapidity and in such increased volume that this fore- noon it had gone up seven feet higher than it was last night and it is crawl ing up the big masonry dam right along.

WAS IT BLACKMAlL
Man Charged With Serious
 Crime Discharged By Judge.

Judge Peasley held an executive session of the city court this fore noon to hear the case against John Lockwood, a driver for Chase Roll ing Mills company, charged with criminally assaulting Helen B. Church, aged IA years. Lockwood was defended by Attorney c. W.Bauby and was prosecuted by McGrath and Ken nedy. For the sake of the number of women witnesses the court room was cleared of all but those who were personally interested. Substantially the statement of the complainant was that she was inveigled by Lockwood to his home and there assaulted. The defense was an alibi, showing that Lockwood was at work at the time the girl stated the assault took place Lockwood was accordingly acquitted.

The Character Of Dick SeeIy in AT
Yale"

II is seldom that the fates are so
kind to the leading men Of any play as
they have been to the hero Of Jules
Murry's new college play, at Yale
which will be seen at the opera house
on next Tuesday night, now ii its ser
ond triumphant year. Dick seeley is a
man In a thousand ile is a student
Of extraordinary talent and an athlete
of renown not only in his own college
but outside in that strange college world
that extends as far As the fame Of one
good man can fly and is as loyal as the
dearest OF friends in the time Of trou-
bic. When Name. the pretty sister Of
Jimsey, sees the college hero for the
FIRST time she has but to ask You're
the Teller what made the touchdown
against Harvard last fall, amt yer to
know to whom she Is talking.
Clancy, the professor" Of physical
culture. has an honest respect for the
man who can Sab de daylights out Of
yer wild one hand tied behind his back"
and Dicks roommate has an equal re-
spect for the friend who has pulled him
through his Greek and philosophy. The
boys admire his swift justice and bis
quiet manliness, his quick intelligence
and his vigorous scholarship, his rare
sincerity Of purpose and his equally
good hutnor and kindheartedness, his adj.
inirably graded values and his rich and
potent natural force
1t is but natural that such hero
should strike the heart is his chum's
sister, the gentle and loyable Dorothy
Kendall. and it is equally natural that
he in his large robust manhood should
be attracted BY the gifts Of beauty and
charm Of manner, the gentleness Of re-
fnoment and the sweet girlishness Of
this charmer who possessed what he had
not and admired what he had. And ii
il equally natural that the schemer,
Davev Burly, the rufian OF the college,
the worst scholar and the worst citizen
in the class, should be attracted BY the
sweetness that he could not understand
in this sweet woman and wish to have
il for his own, particularly after he had
found ont tina, His rival was none other
than the immaculate and the great Dick
Seeley.
Here then Is part Of the plot of this
college play SAT YALE ABOUT The three
here pictured play the forces of love and
hate, weaving in and out among the
days and nights at college, the fates of
