New Brooklyn Engine House.
 Long delayed hopes were realized at the meeting of the board of public safety held last evening in the many appointments that were made. Con- missioner Lahey was chairman. The first business of the meeting which was adjourned from last week was the consideration of appointments to be made to the fire and police depart ments, some of which should have been made some time ago.
 The first appointment was the se- lection of Charles A. McEvoy, hose man on the chemical engine company, to the captaincy of the new Brooklyn engine house It is expected that all the apparatus for this establishment will be ready next week.
 Thomas Lynch was appointed cap tain of truck company No ? at the Burton street house, and the following were appointed to the regular fire de apartment: Frank H. Hollywood, John J. Mcdonald, William J. O'Don- nell, John F. Johnson, John F. Cor man, William J. Powers, Richard Me- Carthy, James Hayes and Edward Byrnes. While it is not stated, it is | understood that these men vii! be sta- toned in the new house in Brooklyn.
 John J. Fitzgerald, Edward B. Nc | Allenney and Frank J. Finn were ap- 1 pointed callmen, but not assigned to duty with engine company No 3, by which the new house in Brooklyn will be known.
 William Mccarthy, hoseman at the 1 Leavenworth street house was assign ed to the Burton street house as driv- CT in place of Thomas Lynch, promot- ed and John J. Devoy, a driver in that house, was transferred to the new Brooklyn house as driver.
 James Holmes, driver for Chief Snagg, will also be driver in the new house. He will have charge of the hose wagon.
 All new firemen must report for duty to Chief Snagg not later than 9 o'clock Thursday morning, when they will be instructed in their duties. The board invited Mayor Elect John P. Elton to take part in the inspection of the fire and police departments to be held October 12 This affair will be somewhat better and more elaborate than last year. There will be some and better music at all events.
 Commissioner Hardie registered all objection to calling the engine houses
 and companies by numbers. He
 thought the old way the better and
 prettier one. The matter went nc further than that, however.
 Doorman Thomas F. Dodds and
 George N. Gabriel were promoted to
 the regular police force and Harvey H. Stout and John Delehanty were
 appointed to the supernumerary force
