Charles Girton, a stage carpenter, was held this morning by Magistrate Dooley, sitting in the Adams street court, for further hearing on a charge of vagrancy. The man was arrested by Detectives Barry, Clarke and Tunney of the headquarters force, at his residence, 177 South Eighth street, last night, on the strength of a letter that was received from the chief of detectives in Chicago. The letter said that Girton was wanted in Chicago for the larceny of a trunk containing theatrical properties and costumes, owned by Ross and Fenton, well known in the vaudeville business. The trunk had been in the keeping of the Hobard Express and Van Company of Chicago, and had disappeared. The trunk and its contents were valued at $750.

Girton was living with his wife, Maude Penner, a vaudeville performer, and the police found the trunk, they say, in their rooms. Some of the property, was there and some of it had been pawned. Maude is at present out of work. Girton will be held 1 until an officer from Chicago can get him. THE COURTS.

in Hie the Countess died VALENTINE POST CARDS CROWD OUT OLD STYLE They Are Cheaper. for One Thing, and a Lot Less Trouble. ONES WITH HEARTS POPULAR. Post Office Is Already Feeling the Press of Its Annual Sentimental Mail, Ever since Tuesday night the post office has been having a mighty struggle against (the valentines -increasing that are mountain being of mailed post card by everybody to everybody else. The plain or fancy post card valentines are superseding every other form of love missive.

The demand for post cards is far greater than the demand for folders and fancy valentines that have to be enclosed (in envelopes. It may be an indication of hard times that in some of the stores more "two-for-a-cent" valentines have been sold than all the more expensive varieties put together. That is to say, the demand has been for cheaper valentines than in many years past and some of the storekeepers call it "two-for-cent" trade. Post card valentines range in price from one cent to fifty cents, or even more. but very few of the more expensive ones have been bought by young men and womeil with "friends" to remember.

And the preponderance of open post cards over envelopes in the post office this morning does not speak very well for the young beaux of Brooklyn. It should not be inferred, however, that the pretty booklets and folders with flowers and Cupids and hearts and things painted or printed all over the front leaf are not being mailed to Betty, but sho will get probably five post cards to one real, old-fashioned valentine. But if she gets only one real valentine and it is not anonymous, she will, no doubt, be very well satisfied and tell her friends on Saturday what a a delightful time she had reading the valentine and will explain the detalls of them all, with the exception of one. Inquiry among the stores showed that the booklets are still popular, but only among the ones with "serious as one shopkeeper put it. "The average young man, though," he said, "who buys more than one valentine is this year falling back on the convenient post card, and we have sold already ten times as many open mail valentines as booklets and folders and fancy messages.

Out of fifty young men who bought valentines here this morning, more than half bought one good valentine and seven or eight post cards. The rest bought merely post cards. "If appearance may be taken as a guide, the young men customers were well able, financially, to buy better ones, but you know how human nature exposes itself on such an occasion as shopping for valentines, and most of the young men confided to me that post cards are handy and convenient. Beside, they can buy seven or eight post cards, or even a dozen, for the price of one booklet that is at all worth sending to a girl, and then there is not. all that bother about envelopes.

Besides, the postage doesn't cost so much." As for post cards, perhaps the most popular are the ones with red satin perfumed hearts. They can be bought for a few cents, and a stamp, stuck on the other side, with an address scribbled below it, will take the cards to their destinations without further trouble. Tissue paper valentines are going out of date and are being superseded by missives of heavier paper or cardboard. To describe the newer novelties and ideas in valentines this year would take about seven columns of the Eagle, but some of the more noticeable ones on display are the "jumping jacks." These resemble the old-fashioned cardboard jumping jacks, with strings attached to the limbs to make them bob up and down, except that they are smaller, more artistic and more expensive. In that class are Teddy bears and weird characters supposed to illustrate "Waiting at the Church" and "Waltz Me Around Again, Willie." The very newest thing in cut-out cardboards, though, is the "Merry Widow," and she is being sent around to a good many homes.

Leap year valentines are being offered for sale, but for some mysterious reason the girls are fighting shy, A good many have been sold to young men, which one storekeeper said showed that a brother is a very handy thing. What he meant to insinuate was that the girls are buying leap year valentines, but are buying them by proxy. Unless the mailing of valentines assumes phenomenal proportions to-night, and there is every reason to believe it will. the post office department will get all the mail delivered, so that Betty will have valentines waiting at her breakfast plate when she greets the folks with a cheery good morning, "all gold and pink and blinding blue." as somebody once said. The extra men and the regular force are working about as fast as they can do their work correctly and there may not be 90 many disappointments to-morrow morning after all.

WIFE'S ANGER JUSTIFIED. Shows Judge Letters and Photo Incriminating Husband. Nicholas Frescott, a conductor, appeared in the Fifth avenue police court this morning as the complainant against his wife, Carrie, whom he charged with drinking beer and abusing him. Mrs. Frescott showed Magistrate Geismar a number of letters, which she said had been received by her husband.

The Judge read one which Mrs. Frescott alleged to have come from another woman, in which the writer said she had had a change of heart and asked that all their former correspondence be burned. In another letter was found a photograph of Frescott. sitting in an automobile with woman not his wife. "That settles it." exclaimed Magistrate Geismar, turning to the wife, "You are honorably discharged and you (meaning the husband, who was the are dishonorably reprimanded.

Go YOUNG GIRL'S BURNS FATAL. Miss Beryl Ames of 374 Lafayette avenue, who was badly burned about a week ago in the Young Women's Christian Association Building, on Schermerhorn street. died this morning in the Brooklyn Hospital, where she had been moved after the accident.

Unt- she on 2 her at WAR THEATER TICKETS USED GAVE CLEW TO BURGLAR Sleuths Watched Grand Opera House and Arrested the SeatHolders. THEY TOLD THEIR OWN STORY, And Man Who Had Given Them the Tickets Also Had Mrs. Bukowski's Diamond Sunburst. Two theater tickets last night proved the undoing of two men who were unfortunate enough to have them in their session, ani also of the man who it is alleged presented them to the ones upon whom they were found. The three men were arrested on the charge implicated, and examined this afternoon in the Fifth Avenue Court.

Saturday afternoon the home of John Bukowski at 453 Forty -eighth street was entered by burglars, who got away with a small sum of money and a quantity of jewelry, among the latter being a diamond sunburst, a highly prized present that was given to Mrs. Bukowski by her husband shortly after they first met. Mrs. Bukowski had gone down town to do some shopping at the time, and Mr. Bukowski was as usual busy in one of the downtown department stores, where he is employed as head cashier.

The burglars- had entered the place with the aid of false keys, and 8.8 no one was in the house they had an easy time of it, And got away with a large amount of goods. When Mrs. Bukowski returned she found that the house had been literally stripped. Chairs were overturned and were lying on the floor; the bureau drawers had been pulled out and the contents strewn about, and everything in the house turned upside down. The case was immediately reported to the police and an effort was made to trace the burglars.

Two tickets for the Grand Opera for Wednesday night were missing and it was assumed that they had been taken by the burglars. Detectives Donnelly, Friel and Sullivan of the Central Ofhce were assigned to the case and they at once took steps to ascertain if an effort had been made to have the tickets changed. They found that no one had made his appearance at the box a office, so kept quiet about the matter and last night went to the theater and lay in wait for the holders of these particular tickets. Two men of anything but refined appearance took the seats designated by the tickets and a close watch was kept upon them. At the close of the performance the two men who gave their names as Clarence King of 347 -ninth street and William Ricketson of 334 Second street were placed under arrest by the Central Office men.

When questioned as to whore they had got the tickets they claimed that these had been presented to them by a friend who found after purchasing them that he would be unable to attend the performance. On further inquiry the men stated that a. young fellow by the name of Charles Heist, who lives at 5921 Third avenue had given them the tickets a short time before. King and Ricketson were then locked up and the three detectives went in search of Heist. They found him in a saloon on Second avenue and Fifty -seventh street, and after a hard struggle succeeded in capturing him.

The suburst and a small sum of money in gold were found in his possession. The jewel was later identifled as being the property of Mrs. Bukowski. The police say that Heist has anything but a good record. OBITUARY.

ONLY ONE MAN IN HOSPITAL. Sequel of $500,000 Fire at Kent Avenue and North Eleventh Street. Demolishing Building. While the half million dollar blaze in the Pratt works of the Standard Oil Company's plant, yesterday, at Kent avenue North Twelfth street, had no fatalities, it was responsible for painful injuries to three firemen this morning, and burns the body of the employes. a dozen other firemen narabout, rowly escaped injury.

The injured are: John Morris, 30 years old, of 470 Seventy-second street, of gine Company No. 147, scalp wound and concussion of the brain; Louis Boss, 25 years old, of 1116 Myrtle avenue, of Hook and Ladder Company No. 153, scalp wounds; John Hackenborn, 40 years old, of 209 Kingsland avenue, of Engine Company No. 112, contusions of neck and right shoulder; Gilbert Parker, 30 years old, cashier in employ of the works, burns on face and arms; Henry Sinkade, 23 years old, a laborer, address also unknown, similarly burned about the body. The three firemen were attended by Drs.

Oginz and Haupt of the Eastern District Hospital. Hackenborn was removed to the hospital, while Morris and Boss went home at their own request. Dr. Joseph E. Smith, surgeon of the Fire Department, attended Barker and Sinkade, who also went to their homes.

The accident occurred about 10 o'clock, ruins were engaged in tearing down while the firemen detailed for duty at the remains of the corrugated iron building which was known as the filling department and where the fire started owing to the carelessness of a workman dropping a red-hot soldering iron into a can of naphtha. The large quantity of oil continued to burn during the balance of the day, and all night, and was still burning in places this morning. A force of firemen were kept at work, and this morning were directed to tear down what remained of the corrugated building. The roof of the structure was supported by iron beams, and several of these had been pulled down safely. Owing to the shaky condition of the walls the firemen had been ordered to work carefully, and were carrying out instructions SO far as they could among the wreckage and burning oil.

The firemen were in the act of adjusting a rope about another girder when the charred walls of the structure collapsed and the iron truss of girder fell. Fortunately, the swaying of the walls was noticed before the entire charred structure collapsed, and a shout of warning started the firemen on a scramble through the wreckage for a place of safety. Their movements were retarded by the debris, and Morris, Boss and Hackenborn were caught by the burned timbers of the roof after barely escaping being caught beneath the iron girder. As the burned mass fell with a crash, some of the beams came down into a pool of burning oil, which was splashed in all directions. Barker and Sinkade, who were standing near by were hit by the burning oil.

It set fret to their clothing and burned them on the face and hands. Their burning clothing was quickly extinguished and they were hurried to another building for treatment. Morris, Boss and Hackenborn were rescued from their perilous position as the burning oil had set fire to some of the wreckage near by. A call for an brought Drs. Oginz and Haupt from the Eastern District Hospital, who busied ambulance having been turned in, themselves with the injured fremen.

had completed their labors when Dr. Smith arrived. While the ambulance conveyed Hackenborn to the hospital, Dr. Smith dressed the burns of Barker and Sinkade, who were able to go home. Just prior to the collapse of the burned building, another exciting incident 0c- curred, when Joseph Collins, A fireman connected with Engine Company 119 fell overboard.

When Collins landed in the water his cries were heard by Fireman Robert F. Eason, of Engine Company 135. When Eason saw Collins struggling in the water between the dock a the fireboat Abraham S. Hewitt, he threw off his heavy oyercoat and plunged in after the drowning man. Collins seized Eason in such a manner that both were in danger of sinking, when Eason's shouts were heard by the men on the fireboat.

Both were hauled from the water in an exhausted condition. Their wet clothing were removed. and after the giving of stimulants by Dr. Smith, they were taken home. Eason is a young fireman and a son of Police Lieutenant Eason, attached to the Lee avenue station.

BROWNSVILLE'S POOR THRONG TO BREAD LINE Gustave Brown, Baker, Distributes About 500 Loaves to Hungry People. SOME HAVE BEEN WELL-TO-DO. Charity Is Still Individual, but Other Bakers Are Preparing to Extend It Soon. Gustave Brown, a wealthy baker of the Brownsville section, whose place of business is at 99 Thatford avenue, distributed to-day among the poor of Brownsville about five hundred loaves of A short time ago Mr. Brown through his employes that a few of his regular customers had cancelled their orders for the delivery of bread to their homes and the reason given for this measure that they were practically destitute.

compassion was at once was, aroused and after consulting a number of his friends and business associates he decided that a vacant store be secured for the distribution of free bread to those in need, and when informed that the premises at 1735 Pitkin avenue were available, he at once secured them and on yesterday was decided on as the day for the distribution. Long before the appointed time the crowds began to gather and Captain Isaac Frank and a detail of officers from the One Hundred and Sixty-Afth precinct were on hand to maintain order and SO managed the crowd that there was not the first sign of disturbance. Some of the people in the line openly declared that this was the first meal they had had for days. One small boy, who had arrived in advance of crowd and had taken up his stand in the doorway, told the police that his father had been out of employment for four weeks and that while his mother and two little sisters got food from several charitable institutions for a time, the societies got tired of feeding them and stopped. He also asserted that he had tried to contribute to their support by selling a few papers, but only made from 5 to 8 cents a day and this was not sufficient to satisfy the wants of a family of five.

and he quit. It was learned later that the boy's father was once a wealthy contractor and had met financial destruction in speculation. The Bakers Union Local No. 163 will meet within a few days and indorse the action of its member, Mr. Brown.

and also try to collect funds for the promotion of the good work started by their fellow member as long as the present conditions exist in this vicinity. The subject of the acquisition of bread is interesting Brownsville just now. Here is a story of a mock trial said to have occurred only two doors away from the Bread Line station, sent in by a voluntary contributor: "Mme. Misfortune, wife of a deceased general, John James Misfortune, wag on the 28th day of January, 1907, at 10 P.M. caught by Policeman McCarty in the act of stealing a loaf of bread from a wagon in the front of the bakery of Gabriel Heartless, to whom the wagon with bread belonged.

She was brought before Magistrate R. U. Wise, where she confessed the crime. She was then arraigned in the City Tombs, where she remained until February, 1908, for trial, which took place on the 8th of February, 1908, at 8 P.M. at the Special Sessions held at the Kaplan School, 1731 Pitkin avenue, Brooklyn.

She was tried by a jury of six respectable members of the Young Folks Business Association of the said institution, namely Mr. Salisch, Mr. Rosenberg, Mr. Brager, Miss Berkin, Miss Ritina and Miss Kronrot. "The judge was Hon.

A. Bakerman; Mr. Trubin, counsel, and Mr. Anderson for the state. Solomon was the court clerk and Miss Weingrade, the stenographer.

"The audience filled up the large rooms of the school to their utmost capacity. Many were turned away for the lack of seats. "The witnesses. including the defendant. Mme.

Misfortune, furnished heaps of fun by their testimony. Mme. Misfortune deserves to be especially mentioned, as she to told the most pitiful story of a widow in distress that was ever told on a witness stand. She moved the audience 1.0 tears. Great applause followed the closing addresses of the respective attorneys.

Upon the testimony of the above witnesses and defendant, tending to show that the baker, Mr. Heartless, had some old dealings with than defendant's deceased husband, in which latter was greatly deceived the former, the defendant therefore considering the baker a debtor of hers, took the bread as she would her own without asking for the right to.
