BROOKLYN BRIEFS

-The new floor is being laid upon the Bank street bridge by the town l authorities.
 Motorman Light and Conductor Finnan of Charles street, popular em- ployes of the Connecticut Lighting and Power company, spent yesterday with friends in ThomastOn. Thomas B. Walker, Samuel Chap man, William Clifford and Rev Charles E. Granger are representing the Third Congregational church at the Naugatuck valley conference in Derby to-day.
 The much discussed match at the traps took place yesterday and the long disputed question of supremacy as marksmen between George Geddes and Martin Quinn on one side and William Geddes and Joe Ecker on the other side, has been settled tenn porarily, at least. All four are hunt CTS of wide renown; they are suppos- ed to be crack shots. Of late there has been considerable rivalry of friendly nature between them, which resulted in the yesterdays match be- ing arranged. The stakes were rather q snug side bet. Alderman, D. J. Ma nancy was the referee. Each man shot at 30 clay pigeons. The result of the match was as follows: George Geddes, 33; Martin Quinn, 30, a total of 63; William Geddes, 37; Joe Ecker, l9, total 56. Accordingly the former two were declared the winners. It is said that the defeated two are not at all satisfied with the result of the match. They believe they can beat the victors easily when Ecker is in good condition. He did not have his shooting eye with him yesterday. Al ter the match Ecker challenged Quisn to contest with him at some future date. The latter accepted the def The match will take place at the grounds on Town plot on Decoration day, and each man will shoot at 50 pigeons.

5 FRIDAY IS DIVORCE DAY.

The Number Of Unhappy Married Cou
 pies Being Separated is Increasing.
 Friday is called divorce day in the superior court, and it is the busiest Of the week, says the New Haven Oaio1, following directly after the close o. .ho reading of the slicit calendar, whi:l in reality usually is a connection of leng- thy proceedings.
 If the young persons on the very brink ofmatrimony were to go to the court room, carefully examine the liti- to the dreary, but scandalous allega- tions concerning the misery, the trials and tribulation and criminality which are made there, the chances are that he or she would cling to single blessed ness for all time.
 Matrimonial disillusions seem to be growing in New Haven. This spring all records have been broken. Each week there are from ten to fifteen eases to be heard-all undefended. That is to say, that these men and women are willing to be accused of all sorts of cruelty and misbehayior without say ing anything ill their behalf. In many instances alimony is involved, but that seems to make no difference. Men make up a majority of the sinners, women of the plaintiffs, and the men, if one could credit the complaints and the evidence given to support them, have among them a great many who have forgotten apparently that the dec alogue is in no sense humorous com plication, or one to be treated lightly.
 There are not few petitioners for whom the wedding bells rang less than a year ago. But they have seen enough of matrimony. Men lured away by that of absent wives lured away by that monster, the correspondent. Some com plain that their mother-in-law persist ed in living with them until they re- garded themselves hag-ridden.
 The commonest wall of the women is that their husbands refuse positively to drink in moderation. These gentle men, so the stories go, are forgiven again and again, continue to come home ill the early hours and climb the stairs as noiselessly as possible. But the complaint about drink is not all sone-sided. There are men who seek freedom because their wives always have bottle hid away in the pantry, obtained in some manner of which the husband is not aware and kept out of sight while he is home. The injured husband makes the discovery on arriv- ing home and finding the bottle out of it's hiding place, his wife under the weather, her last thought being the meal which should have been upon the table.
 E Desertion is frequently given as the cause for seeking q separation. Men there are, and women too, who grow restless before the honeymoon is over. These go and leave no trail and not even a parting word They were tired of it and ran. Simply that.
 But notwithstanding the large in crease of divorces in this city recently, there are not as, many divorce petitions brought in this city as in other cities. For example, last divorce day, Friday, seven cases came up in the superior court here. while in New York 129 cases were tried.

The Fight still IN Over the Election
Law.

Annapolis, Md, March livery lit
tie progress was made with the election
bill in either branch of the general as
sembly today, although both had it un-
der consideration.
In the house., the bill originally intro
duced in the senate was discussed, the
republicans flibustering TO prevent its
passage and the democrats showing no
inclination to force matters. The word
has evidently been passed along for the
house to wait until the senate gives the
matter further consideration
1t is now said to be the programme
of the democratic leaders to have the
senate "a h bill originally adopted
by the house, together with all the
amendments thus far made I'll either
branch and send it to the governor for
his signature. letting the original SEN
ate bill die on the files. This will ne
ceSsitate another consideration Of the
bill in the house, and makes it improb-
able that a final adjournment will be
had before the end of March
Senator Dick, republican. from Allie
gheny county, stirred I'D an acrimoni-
Gus debate in the senate today by
Producing a resolution induiring OF the
secretary of state whether former
United States Senator German and his
lieutenants had complied with the law
by registering their names as lobbyists
in the book provided for that purpose.
The democrats added the name OF
United States Senator McCormas to
this resolution and referred it to the
committee on legislation. where it will
probably rest.
