COMFORT BAGS
officers VIII Bring Needles aud
 Thread on Next Trip.

The posse that toured the woods yesterday over Middlebury way in search of Edward Schirrmann, the al- lcged wife slayer, got all they want of that kind of business for the pres ent, although some of them claim that it was the greatest day or their lives and that they never knew before that Waterbury is such large place anu has such large tracts of dense wootls. The authorities are not fully satisfied with the result of the hunt and still lean to the opinion that Schirrmann is still secreted in the brushwood, but If they have anybody keeping an eye after him they are keeping 1t to themselves. The principal incidents in the outing yesterday were the roll ing down a steep precipice of Lieu tenant Dodds and D. J. Lahey. both tearing their trousers so badly that q messenger had to be dispatched to a farmers house for needle and thread with which to mend the rifts and for time the scene of the tumble was converted into tailor shop, and a shock given two of the posse by d COW that started suddenl. rom under a thicket and galloped through the dense foliage, prompting the officers to pull their shooting irons and call upon the fugitive to halt. No notice being taken of the order they were about to open fire when the ani- maj reached clearing near pool of water and plunged into it. Some of them took the thing good natu-edly, but others were in no mood to be trifled with and couldn't see what there was in it to lauga at.

FOUR HORSES BURNED
Blaze in ibe Barn in Rear of
 Old GullioiIe Properly.

Fire in the barn In the rear of the old Guilfoile block at the corner of Bank and South Riverside streets this morning about 3 o'clock threatened to doom the buildings In the vicinity, but prompt action on the part of the firemen confined the blaze to the barn, which was totally destroyed. The barn was owned by George Las- key. whose loss is not very heavy, hur Daniel McGrath lost four horses and a large quantity of hay. He figures his loss at about $1,500, "hich Is only partly covered by insurance
 Two of the horses were burned so l badly that they died within short time, while the other two animals had to be shot, Sergeant Blakely and Patrolman Dodds played the part or veterinary surgeons.
 Snpernumerary Officer James Moore rang in the alarm from box S2, but when the firemen arrived the barn was ablaze. In fact it had begun to eat into the big block and the tenants residing there had to rush from their roms in their night clothes. An engineer who was pass ing on locomotive on the tracks nearby had the presence of mind to stop the engine and loudly blow the whistle. This awakened the dwell- CTS in the block and gave them their first warning that the rear of the block was on fire.
 How the fire started Is unknown, but when Officer Moore first saw 1t it was we'll under way. The officer had close call from being serious ly injured, for while he was entering the barn some of the electric wires fell and landed close by him. The wires just as at the recent fire at the corner of South Main and Union streets, gave much trouble for a short time. The old wooden struc- ture was only few feet from the big block and so briskly did the flames spread that in very few min utes all the windows in the rear had been burned out. If the fire had much more of a start 1t would have reached Killoughey's drug store be- fore it could be quenched, and therc Is no telling what a serious oonfiagra- tion it might have been.
 The flames lighted the sky so that it could be seen from all parts of Brooklyn and big crowd was at tracted. An effort was made to re- cue the horses, but it was impossible to do so as the stalls were mass of flames soon after the blaze was sighted. The horses lay ;n the barn to-day and looked rather hideous as they were burned almost 10 a crisp. It took the department about an hour and half to get the fire under 1 control The block at the corner IS now owned by Mir Laskey, the owner of the barn. MT McGrath when asked to-day what his loss was said he figured it at between s1,500 ard 1,600. He said it was only slightly covered by insurance. He could give no reason how 1t started. It Is thought that the fire was either started by match thrown carelessly from the hand of some one who was sleeping in the barn or by the elec- tric wires.
