 Joseph Garros of Riverside street was thrown from the Brooklyn bridge about lO:3O Saturday night. He re. ceived injuries which will prevent him from working for at least two weeks. He was on his way home and had n %hr n~{A A~x1 v@o., ian from Canal street who was intox- icated, stopped him and commenced to argue with him. But MT Garros shook him off and started to climb the fence near the bridge to take short cut to his home. As he was on top of the fence the man from Canal street gave him push and sent him flying down the bank among the rocks and stones to the edge of the water. He was bad ly bruised and cut about the body and head. Dr Russell was called and dressed his injuries. MT Garros had a wonderful escape from being seriously If not fatally injured, for If his heaG had struck against one of the big rocks nearby the place where he fell he would not be alive probably to-day.
 This Is the season of the year when repairs should be made to doors and windows of houses. If there are any broken panes of glass have them re- | moved and new ones put in their l places. If any windows are minus pane of glass or two put in new ones l at once. All these things should be done now before the cold weather sets in. Fine glass and the best of putty can be secured at A. 0. Walkers rhar- macy.
