In among the huddle of Industrial plants of the Eastern District there wa another great Are last night, and before the firemen had the upper hand it was necessary for a fourth alarm to be run in. For the second time within a year the cooperage, of Regan.

at 203-203 North Eleventh street, was destroyed. From the cooperage the flames leaped to a row of tenements, ate up a blacksmith shop and drove the, families out; from two three-story frame houses In the rear of the cooperage. The fire also, attacked the plant of Louis Leavltt, at Driggs avenue and North Eleventh 'street, and the car works of Frederick Laven-be'rg, at 161t185 North Eleventh' street; but the firemen got the grip of things there in short order. Two families were made homeless fore the battle was over, four mules were burned to death and seven mules an eight horses were saved by heroic police, men and citizens. It was at 9 o'clock last night that the first tongues of flame shot into the sky.

Policeman Shaughncssy of the Bedford avenue station the play of the fire and. turned in an alarm. Having summoned the firemen, Shaughncssy returned to the stables of the cooperage with a group of citizens, and they plunged inta the smoke to cut loose the squealing an nearly frantic mules and the stamping horses. One after the other they were rushed out to a place of safety. Then tha fire not.

Students at Fever Pitch Over Selection of General Organization Officers. ATHLETICS A BIG FACTOR. Rival Candidates on Opposing Tickets Exerting Every Effort to Corral Votes. Interest in the coming general organization elections of the Manual Training High School has already reached a high pitch. The nominating convention will be held on Monday afternoon and the elections will take place on Friday.

Judging from the many political meetings and secret sessions of the campaign committees, this election will be th- most fiercely contested in the history of the organization. Both parties are keeping their trump cards up their sleeves and Jack Friedman, Candidate for President. only vague rumors are circulating concerning their nature. The two tickets in the field are the In dependent and the School Loyalty. The former ticket has usually had the back ing of the athletic interests, but this time, for some unknown reason, the other party has the advantage of that backing.

Twenty fellows out of about twenty-five present wearers of the blue and gold are working for the School Loyalty ticket, among whom are George Harmon, the 1911 football captain; Frank Dingwall, captnin of the 1912 football team; Ed Hamilton, captain of the 1911 socket' team, and Herbtrt Kainuh, captain of the 1911 swimming team This ticket is a non-fraternity ticket, and is headed by Jack Friedmann, member of three baseball teams and captain of the 1911 team, manager-member of 1 .1 1 1 championship socker team and president of the senior class. This last is the greatest honor in the school next to the O. presidency itself. For vice president on this ticket is Miss Aimee Bloom. Miss Bloom is one of the girls at Manual who has made good In athletics.

She played on all of the girls athletic teams, and in addition was also a member of the "Prospect" staff for two years. She now has the proud distinction of being the only girl on the "Manuallte" staff, the year book of the school. The executive committee candidates on this ticket are Otis Seine, Gilbert Ack-erman and Ruth Olsen. Sente was a member of the football team for three years, of the lacrosse team of 1910 and cl the track teams of 1910, 1911 and 1912, 0f which he is captain. In 1911 Sente eaisaled the world's interscholastic rec ord for the fifty-year dash.

Ackerman is also an athlete, having played on both the, football and baseball teams. Ruth Olsen is one of the school's most popular girls. She has quite a reputation for acting, having been a member of the cast of the annual school plays for two years. Opposition a Fraternity Ticket. The other ticket Is a fraternity ticket, most, of the candidates being members of the.

Gamma Etta Kappa fraternity. Frank Thomas leads this ticket, with i7tit.VV. Miss Aimee Bloom, Candidate for Vice President. Honnat Gaither for vice president, and "Jib" Dingwall, Ronald Hart and R. Kent as executive candidates.

"Babe" Houghton, the popular baseball and basketball player, is running for the executive on a special ticket, enclosing Jack Friedmann. He was defeated by Frank Thomas last year for the office, about fifty votes separating them at the conclusion of the count. Frank Thomas belongs to the Gamma Eta Kappa Fraternity, and besides getting its backing will also have that of the' Omega Alpha Pi. But the help of the fraternities at Manual is an uncertain quantity, for while they are permitted exist mere inoy are noi encouraged. and do not have the swing given to them Krasmus.

Thomas will get his chief strength from his athletic connections i his class standing, and from the fact that' is not a stranger to the voters. Soc- i is famous at Manual. Her team has 1 won the interscholastic championship, four out of the last five years. Thomas a leading man on the team, having played on it for three years. He is also the lacrosse, hockey and track teams, a star player on each.

Last year he I was rlecterl to the executive committee. Is here that he got in touch with th.) faculty, who arc said to favor him. To; Island wfll "at court' is no mean advantage, although the teachers are sup-1 posed to be neutral. Another qualification enjoys is popularity with his l.isn. the Seventh Grade, of which he Is 'president.

Miss Bonnat Gaither will be Thomas' running mate. She la one of the ry pretty girls of the school. She is athlete, and athletics mean something M.inual, for they win the same recog u.iR'n as k'tters and medals. 3Uc Is on 1 Tompkins Avenue Congregational Church and had been a teacher In its Sunday school.

The Appellate' Division of the Supreme Court has upheld Maurice E. Connolly, former magistrate and now Borough President of Queens, for darraigning, over a year ago, Howard Starrett of Brooklyn, a circus proprietor, on a charge of cruelty to animals. Starrett had b-oiight suit against Connolly for $25,000, charging that he had been illegally imprisoned. He had been sentenced to twenty days in jail, and, in addition, a heavy fine had been imposed. Starrett.

however, Btayed only a few days in jail, when his lawyer secured his release. The case then went before County Judge Humphrey, and finally to the Appellate Division. ent officers favor him, and they will count in the election. School spirit Is being developed at Manual. Dr.

Larkins. the principal, is fostering it, the boys and girls at college are exploiting It. and It Is a watchword In the school. Taylor will meet this sentiment, which Is worked by the opposition, by ringing (he changes on "independence." Last year this won out in the election of Wheeler. It is popular with the lower classes, and they usually vote almost as a unit.

This is the first time that the nominating convention has been set as the regular programme for weekly assembly. ThU will mean much, for it will Insure the attendance of the entire school at the convention. The speeches will be better, and will reach the cars of all. Posters and printed matter will be a larger factor than ever before, and the enthusiasm will be correspondingly great. THE BOSTON PHILHARMONIC.

Strong Programme Well Given at Academy, With Miss Collier Violinist. Of the popularity of the Philharmonic concerts by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, In Brooklyn, there is never any doubt, and the fourth of the series, given at the opera house, Academy of Music, last evening, attested, by the large attendance, the loyalty of music-loving Brooklynites. Neither the Lenten season nor the lateness of the season, which has been filled with Interesting musical events, prevented every seat being taken. in boxes, orchestra and the very top on the opera house. The programme contained two quite familiar numbers, viz, Mendelssohn's overture to "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and Tschaikowsky'a overture, "1812," the former played at the be ginning, as a colorful and delicate Introduction, and the latter as a grand piece with which to wind up the evening wi'h flourish and a display of dynamics.

Under the baton of Mr. Fiedler, the conductor, both of these effects were, In turn. produced by the instrumentalists In highly finished performances. In the "1812" overture especially delightful in- their tone was the introduction of the "Marseillaise," first boldly, then fainter anl fainter as the Slavic theme, beginulng as a mere suggestion, grew in power, Indicating the overthrow of the Napoleonic hosts, closing with the hymn of victory. The lightsome, optimistic, perhaps fatalistic, quality of the Russian temperament was brought out In the lighter passages, and altogether the number was given with an elasticity that probably no other orchestra could so successfully accomplish.

A soloist Is a strong and desirable feature in these concerts, and no mistake was made in bringing to Brooklyn, from Boston, Miss Bessie Bell Collier, as the assisting violinist. With the orchestra Miss Collier played the Saint-Saens "Concerto in minor," No. 3, op 61. Conspicuous, besides her perfect technique, was the crystal purity of her tone, even in passages prestissimo anl fortissimo. With absolute ease she gave strength and resonance to the lower strings, almost equal to a 'cello, and this by a slender young woman, who scarcely seemed able to give so masterfully a great composition.

At al ltimes her performance stood out clearly against the work of the orchestra, yet blending with It in effect on the audience. In fact, in eTne of the movements Mr. Fiedler or hi3 men scarcely supported Miss Collier with the required force. The musicianship of the viollnlBt came out beautifully in th.3 way she phrased and nuanced and per haps yet more in the varied and delicate coloring with which she lighted the frequent motive repetitions. Cesar Franck's "Symphony In D.

Minor" was, from the standpoint of strictly orchestral work, the Important number on the programme. When first produced in 1889 in Paris It was termed "mathematical," but It is distinctly melodic, the phrasing for the greater part brief, and It is filled with changing moods. If there is, beside the silver, melodic thread that winds Its devious way through the four movements, a distinct character to the symphony, it is pretty device of the composer in using one instrument, or two or three, in duet or trio, to give a melody against the figuration work of the orchestral choirs. Sometimes it la a sad bong and sometimes a merry that these individualists sing. A beautiful instance of these effects was in the scherzo in the second, the "allegretto" movement, when the double-basses kept throbbing time against the' playful high notes on the first violins.

In all of these changes of mood Mr. Fiedler did splendid work, giving just the right accents in the most obscure, and to most conductors, puzzling, passages, which, for one place, came in the "Andantino" movement, while, in the last, the "Allegro," movement, he easily swept the orchestra to powerful uplift and led them down at the finish to paUis of peace and joy.

FORFEITED BAIL IN 1908. Represented Himself as Agent for Chicago Company and Took Risks at Low Premiums. After nearly four years absence from Coney Island Marcus J. Northbrooke, an insurance agent, was today brought back to the Coney Island court and arraigned on a cvharge of fraud made against him in April, 1908. He then was let out on ball, furnished by Mrs.

Louisa Obert of 304 Fifteenth street, and when he failed to appear on May 4, 1908, the $2,000 bond was forfeited. Northbrooke, who was arrested yesterday on Staten Island by Detectives Shine, Blake and Ryan, was charged with falsely representing himself as the New York representative of the Metropolitan Fire Insurance Company of Chicago, and as such collecting insurance premiums from several Coney Island people. He was identified In court today by Manuel Caragnara of 59 West Sixteenth street, Brooklyn, as the man to whom the latter had paid $50 on an Insurance policy about four years ago. Northbrooke is 74 years old, and of a prepossessing appearance. When he first came to Coney Island he Is said to have written a great deal of business for ms company and collected the premiums himself.

A number of those insured later de cided to Investigate the company, and by writing to the Illinois Legislature they were informed that there was such a company as the Metropolitan Fire Insurance Company of Chicago, and that its read New York agent was Edward C. Cluff of 309 Garfield place. It was Mr. Cluff who then located Mr. Northbrooke and had Manuel Caragnara make the complaint against him on which he was arrested.

Northbrooke ws first arraigned before Magistrate Voorhees in the Coney Island court on April 23, 1908. On a plea of not guilty the case was adjourned for an examination on April 29, and bail fixed at $2,000. which was furnished by Mrs. Obert. On the 29th Northbrooke, It is alleged, did not appear and the matter was again put off to May 4, and on falling again to show up the bond was declared forfeited.

Since then the detectives claim taey have traced Northbrooke under the names of Nolan, Noble, Sullivan, O'Meara and Marcus, and yesterday he was arrested. Ball was today fixed at $5,000 by Magistrate Nash, and Northbrooke remanded for examination later. By offering low rates Northbrooke was reported in 1908 to have done an extensive business at Coney Island. Scotty Morgan, the 1 proprietor of the Palm Garden, and Sol Perry, the owner of Perry's, were among those who were said to have paid premiums tp the confidence-inspiring fire insurance agent. Usually Insurance rates are high at Coney Island, but Northbrooke, It was alleged, was willing to take big risks for little money.

At that time he had an elegantly furnished suite of offices on Hudson street, Manhattan. THE HASLETT WILLS Number of Testaments All Under Investigation by District Attorney. Among the plmses of the Huslett case which is under, investigation by District Attorney Cropsey Is that involving the wills which Samuel Haslett, the Itemsen street recluse, made in addition to the ones which it is charged former State Senator Frank Gardner drew up. The District Attorney wants to read the contents of all the wills that Haslett ever made. A lawyer named Beebe is quoted as claiming that he has one will in his possession.

John B. who has power of attorney from Haslett, has drawn up at least one will for Haslett. Then there are the two credited to Gardner, wills that are missing and of whi3h nothing is known beyond the testimony of George H. Decker, the nurse who is under arrest with Gardner, and of Dr. Deyo, one of the physicians who claims to have witnessed the signing of the Gardner codicils.

One will, reported to be the last which Haslett drew up before the mental status of his mind was questioned, is said to be in possession of the Brooklyn Trust Company. This is being sought now by the District Attorney. John B. Lord admitted today that he knew of this will, but said he was content to let the District Attorney have it without seeking to lo cate it himself. WILLS FILED FEBRUARY 23.

A. C. Armstrong did the actual operating while the dog was put under anesthetics. The operation was declared successful. VISIT THE AT TO SHOW ani see the new van of the Eagle Warehouse and Storage Co.
