BROOKLYN BRIEFS

The regular monthly meeting of
the Holy Name society connected with
is Patrick's church will be held in the
Lyceum tomorrow afternoon at 4
O'Clock.
John FL. Wall of liz Stone street
and Miss Margaret Flood of Mill street
were united in marriage by the Rev
Father Sullivan at st Patrick's church
in the Brooklyn district at 8 O'CLOCK
yesterday morning. The best couple
were James Wall and Miss Mary
Flood.
A mass of requiem was celebrated
at st Patrick's church this morning by
Father Jordan for the late Peter Law
1or of South Wilson street. Floral
pieces omitted in the notice of Mr. Law
lor's funeral were a cross from Mrs
Ellen Lawlor; bunch of roses, Miss Ma
mie Brennan; bouquet, Mrs Renneson.
Some of the residents of South
Brooklyn wonder why the powers that
be never think of putting an electric
light in their district. They also think
it a good place to use few hundred
dollars of the good roads appropria-
ton. There is lot of merit in this
contention, but doesn't it look rather
strange that they have not petitioned
for lights or a share OF the state road
funds? It might not do them any
good to ask for the good roads money,
for it seems the highway commissioner
has charge of that, but it is different
with the lights. The board of alder
men are masters OF the situation with
reference to these and petition might
be acted upon favorably. They have
grievances In South Brooklyn, but they
don't call attention to them before the
proper parties.

SONS of the field, having won the name
of the queens lace handkerchief it
is a weed that viii drive all other vege-
tation out Of existence. This makes
it q pest to be exterminated and the
legislature in 1881 passed law for
that purpose, which reads as follows:
Every owner or possessor of lands
shall cut down all wild carrots and
Canada thist1es growing thereon, or in
the highway adjoining, SO often as to
prevent their going to seed; and upon
failure so to do, any person aggrieved,
or any citizen OF the town wherein the
lands are situated, may complain to
any grand juror of said town, who
shall thereupon forthwith notify such
owner or possessor of such complaint
And said grand juror shall be paid for
such service from the treasury OF the
town 10 cents for each mile sf travel
in giving such notice. And If said
owner or possessor shall still neglect
to comply with the provisions of this
section, he shall be fined not more
than S. nor less than 81 for each and
every day Of such NEGLECT after said no.
tice. And the expense OF the grand
juror who served the notice shall be in
cluded in the costs of the prosecution
As will be seen, thea1aw is operative
only on complaint of an aggrieved per
son, or of citizen of a town. This
has undoubtedly tended to make it q
very inefficient law.
