Dwelling, Unoccupied for Two Years, Formerly Center of Social i i Activity. The ale the Buck Mansion, in' Llv-ingstOB. opposite the grounds, of the Packer Institute, has been effected. This landmark ''In that residence region adjacent to Clinton street, is to give way to an eight story apartment house. The grounds extend to Schermerhorn street, where there I a.

large garden, but it has not yet been decided to improve this part ot the property in the same way. The house, which is a four story brown stone front, with a Mansard roof, was built' about sixty years ago by Richard P. Buck, a shipping merchant In Manhattan, who had come to Brooklyn to live. Mr. Buck was for many years a well known resident of the Heights.

He was a trustee of Dr. Storrs' Church of the Pilgrims, a trustee of the Packer Institute, and identified with many other of the institutions of Brooklyn. He came to New York from Bucksport, which was named for. his ancestors, about 1837, and embarked in business, In which he was successful, having line of vessels running to many parts of the world. He served as the second president of the Hanover National Bank, and was identified with the Corn Exchange, out of which the Produce Exchange grew.

He was the head of the firm of Richard P. Buck Co. When Mr. Buck decided to build on the Heights he purchased a large plot on Livingston street, running through to Schermerhorn street, part of which Is occupied by other houses he erected. HI own house covered a site 32x45 feet, four stories In height, with an extension on the lde and another in the rear.

On Livingston street, adjoining the extension, ia a stable. The Livingston street part of the property is 63x94 feet and the Schermerhorn street portion 80x94. The house adjoins the residence of the lata S. O. Burnett.

Mr. Buck died in 1884 and the house was occupied by his widow and daughter until Mrs. Buck death, and afterward bv her sister. For the past two years it has been unoccupied. The neigh bors regret Its sale and contempiaiea demolition, as the grounds afforded hr-athln nlace for the vicinity.

The sale was made by the Chauncey Real Estate Company of Montague street. SAYS SHE'S A FLIM'FLAMMER. Mrs. Levine Claimed Too Much and Grocer. Mischler Entered Then Woman Was Arrested.

Charged with the larceny of a Jo bill, Mrs. Annie Levine was arraigned before Magistrate Steers, in the Manhattan Avenue Court, this morning, and held in $500 bail for the Special Sessions. Miss Lene Dunkel accused Mrs. Levine of flim-flamming her with the old short-change game. The complainant testified that Mrs.

Levine came Into her father's store 137 Evergreen avenue and purchased cents' worth of rolls, tendering in payment a ten-dollar bill. Miss Dunkel alleges she gave Mrs. Levine $9.90 in change four one-dollar bills and one five. Mr. Lievine, she declared, insisted that she had only given her five ones.

Thinking that possibly she had been in error. Miss Kunkel ald she gave the woman the difference. Then Mrs. Levine claimed that the young woman had given her a 5-cenl piece instead of a quarter. At about this point.

Ferdinand Mischler, 160 Evergreen avenue, a grocer, entered the bakery and asked Miss Dunkel Mrs. Levine had claimed an error in change. He said then, Miss Dunkel testified, that Mr. Levine had done the same thing to him. after which he followed her.

Mr. Levine denied the whole story. AUTO BURNS IN GAP.AQE. Tha voodwork- of J3.000 automobile belonging to George Jones of 349 Third street, Brooklyn, caught fire Is the Gotham Garr.f?n at H3 West Forty-eighth street, Manhattan, where was stored, night, and the machine was almost destroyed before firemen succeeded in-extinguishiug the flames. W.

Newton Bennington, oue of the former celebrities of the turf, who is I also known in Wall street and in the real estate world, and who has been Inmate of Dr. A. C. Combes' santiarium on Jackson avenue, Corona, for over a year, will be able to leave that Institute within the next week, it, is stated, cured. Mr.

Bennington was committed to the institution August 28. 1907. The examining physicians, Drs. Wraler and Balrd, of Cornwall, Orange Couny; testified that Mr Bennington was irrational. The.

proceedings were brought on the petition of the patient's wife, herself a noted "eerier ot dogs. i nnortiy oerore nis commitment to that I institution surprise was occasioned by I announcement that two Indcmenrw a. gregating $9,400. had been entered anainst rno once ncn turtman and speculator. Three years ago Bennington's check for quarter of a million would have been honored almost, anywhere, for although when he arrived in New York he had loss than $20 capital, ho.

found means to gain sudden riches. Although he did not appear in the brokerage and banking business, he became the silent backer of several immensely profitable concerns. Three months before Mr. Bennington was declared irrational he talked freely about rumors that had represented him as being "down and out" financially. He had at that time sold practically all his horses.

Although Paumonok, his colt, had won the realization stakes for him in the early summer of 1907, Mr. Bennington admitted that he had lost a great deal of money, but said he owed none and was financially responsible. He added: "My quitting the racing game was not altogether because I could not keep my end up. My summing up of the racing situation is that it's a great sport, but a poor business. Anybody who lacks the money to stay In it as a sport had better keep out.

it. is becoming the home of crooks. The tracks are getting to be too much like crooked gambling houses." When Mr. Bennington was committed to Combes' sanitarium it was stated thai he was rational, though at times his thoughts were disconnected and he was unable to concentrate hi mind on any given subject for any length of time. About four months ago he escaped from the sanitarium and after two days search by the police of Greater New York he was found in Manhattan walking along Broadway.

He was arrested and sent back to the institution. PETITION IN BANKRUPTCY. Eberhard J. Focko, a commission mer chant of 24 Stone street, Manhattan, who lives at 707 East Second street, this borough, filed a petition in bankruptcy In the United States Court to-day.
