 Mrs Elizabeth Beck. an aged wo- man. residing at 16 Porter street. was severely injured last evening because or the foolish pranks of some of the boys of this section. Mrs Beck about 6 o'clock was on her way home when at the corner of Bank and Porter streets she ripped over piece of rope which some urchins had strung across the sidewalk. She was thrown heavily to the ground and was badly shaken up She was carried to her home near by and medical aid was summoned. Because of her age and feebleness the fall, which might not have caused much trouble to a younger person. was quite a shock to her. Of course, proba- ply the boys meant no harm when they were participating in this pastime, but 1t is dangerous practice and this likely will be lesson to them for the future. The putting out of strings to trip pedestrians is bad enough initself and when men and women advanced in years are allowed to tumble over them 1t is time for halt to be called. The boys who were mixed up in the affair last evening will be lucky if they do not find themselves in court, as something in that line would surely happen if Mrs Beck's condition should become worse.
 It looks as if Brooklyn is not to re- ceive the new station which has been coming to this city for long time and which the residents of this section hoped to see adorning some portion of the land in this part of the city. The prominent citizens over here knew that 1t would be a great boom for this To- cality if they gould show the railroad directors why the depot should be built in Brooklyn. With this end in view they started out to use their in- fuence and see if they could not per suade the men with the power to do a fine thing for this district and help right the wrongs which the road has done the residents here Brooklyn has been greatly hampered, and is now. be- cause of the tracks. trestles and bridges of the Consolidated road and some reparation should be given for you might say depriving several of the streets of their usefulness. The build ing of the new station would not. to be sure, be just compensation for what the road has taken, but it would help some and would add much to Brook lyn, which has as residential quarter declined rapidly the past few years. and the railroads are one of the chet causes. A prominent man in this city and one who is in close touch with things In Brooklyn, said not long ago that much influence was being brought to bear upon the magnates to bring the station over here, where it rightly belongs. The facilities for such a building are of the best and no better site could be selected. Perhaps after all Brooklyn may get the station, as it should, but from the outlook of things at present the chances are poor.
