AN ITALIAN BROOM RUSH.
Scenes of Confusion at the Brooklyn Entrance TO
the Bridge.

New York star.
Passengers on the Brook lyn bridge cars
who alighted on the Brooklyn side at 9
O'Clock last night, saw a struggling,
shouting, perspiring crowd of 200 ItaI-
iaGs tumbling around in the snow and
slush of Sands street, and wondered
whether the Anarchists had broken
loose again or if the City of Churches
was being invaded by Mulberry street
Crowds of Brooklynites blocked up the
bridge entrance and lined the sidewalks
ON either side. but the sons of italy kept
merrily on though the battle-ground was
directly in front Of police headquarters
Finally, three painting Italians, hatless
and soaked with slusn, escaped from the
mob, and holding aloft broOms and SNOW
shovels, scampered mp the roadway of
the bridge, and commenced vigorously
to clear off the snow. Others followed,
and in a short time fifty were at work
while their disappointed brethren howIed
at them and pelted them with snow. A
guardian of the peace explained mat
tiers to Star reporter.
Whenever there is fall of snow
those savages come to the bridge, enough
of them to clean the snow off the whole
of Brooklyn, and of course they can't
all get work. Those who are given
brooms receive fifteen cents an hour
They fight for the brooms and shovels
like lot of hyenas. It's a pity tipey
don't devour each other and make room
for more W orthy men"

Workers and the thirsty stranger within
our gates were driven like painting sheep
TO the New Jersey and Long Island beer

A roar of indignation went up from
thousands of dry threats that had habit
ually taken wine with their Sunday
meals; but the hotel men, who really
suffered the most, from Charley Del
monico down to Dom Pedro of Duane
street, went quietly to work and organ

custom and backed by public opinion,

National Hotel Reporter.
The Putnam House at Palatka, has
commenced the season of 1888 auspic-
iously. The present is only its third
season, but Notwithstanding its newness
the house has been thoroughly painted
inside and out and is now in a very at
tractive condition. Last year visitors
will remember the very beautiful and
unique decorations provided by Mrs.
Barron, wife of the proprietor, who is a
helpmare in the strongest sense of the
word. This year this excellent lady has
provided herself with a much finer col
lection of ferns and autumn leaves from
the White Mountains of New Hamp-
shire, and she is now busily engaged in
decorating the public rooms of the Put
nam House in manner even more or
nate and beautiful than before. Palatka
Is one of the prettiest towns in Florida
and we know of no place in the State
that offers greater attractions and adj
vantages for protracted stay, than the
Putnam House.
