Brooklyn City Intelligence.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND PROBABLE MvRpER-
A daring of highway robbery, and perhaps muir
der occurred in South Brooklyn Monday night last
The victim is Mr. Alva Hochkss, clock-maker, doing
business ut No 800 Hudson street. New York, and re-
siding in South Brooklyn. After Mr. Hotchkiss had
finished his business that evening" he proceeded towards
home usual, and when he in Clinton street, at
the intersection of Harrison, he waylaid by
rufHans, who, 1t is supposed followed him from New
York. knocked down with n club and his pockets rlhed
Of gold watch and seventy dollars in money His cries
for help attracted the attention of persons in the
vicinity who went to the place where he was lying and
found him bleeding profusely from dreadful cash
in the head He was removed to DR.. Moriarty's resi-
dence where he received every necessary attention.
and where he remains in precarious state. 1t 10
doubtful whether he will survive the injuries. The
authorities of Brooklyn it to the character of
the city to every to ferret out and arrest
the perpetrators Of this daboica ac bnt IL the police
force Of that place greater than is it probably
would not have occurred We understand there is but
ono Waterman in that section Of the city.
