 The church services in this section were attended by large crowds yester- day and the Christmas music was rendered in an excellent manner
 ---The Brooklyn letter carriers had their hands full the past two or three days, but they were equal to the occa- sion and all letters and packages went to their rightful owners.
 Christmas passed off in Brooklyn quietly. nothing out of the ordinary in the line of celebrating taking place. There were several parties at various houses bur a goodly number of the people enjoyed the day in their own homes.
 "A most degrading and at the same time pitiful sight was seen in Brook lyn Sunday when young fellow, a foreigner about IA years of age, was seen going along the streets in an in toxicated condition. It only goes to 1 show how much attention some liquor dispensers take in disposing of their wares, and also the manner in which l some parents allow their children to 1 run wild.
 Although things were quiet in some parts of Brooklyn yesterday. it was not the case fin all and there were some lively doings on Railroad Hill street. A crowd of foreigners were having one grand time when quarrel started to mar the festivities. As far as could be learned the men were en- gagged in game of cards when the dispute arose. There were seven or eight men in the battle and when the smoke had cleared away and the flag of truce was raised to allow the in jured men to have their wounds dress ed. it was discovered that Joseph Chinikus was in the land of nowhere with the blood flowing from about eight bad scalp wounds Dr Russell quickly arrived and relieved the fel- lows sufferings, Although Chiniqus was severely beaten, his injuries are not serious.
 Charles Fenn met with an acci- dent yesterday of such nature that he was fortunate that he was not seri- ously and perhaps fatally injured. Fem was walking along the River side road and in some manner lost his balance and fell over the embark ment down into the ditch below, dis tance of about 9 feet. The man was picked up and carried to his home or: Hospital avenue. Dr Russell was called and found that the man besides being badly shaken up. had sustained the fracture of two ribs. To-day he is resting comfortably. The fence along Riverside road is repaired often, but every time that it is put in good con dition someone comes along. tears part of it down and carries 1t away for firewood The place is dangerous when there is not proper protection theree ndtthe.misereants that destroy it should be locked up.
 The people of Brooklyn are much interested in the discussion as to who will be the coming assistant city clerk. since Attorney James Lawlor is said fn hara O Hpa ohouan of Ion1fuz. fho position. It is the right of City Clerk. elect Sandland to name his assistant, but 1t is said thar the aldermen may take a hand in the matter this year and refuse to ratify the appointment of John Hackert. should Sandland make him the lucky man. During the last election Hackett is said to have worked against John Crary. and there has been much talk about the matter since that time. The people of Brook lyn think that no better man could be selected TO fill the office than "Jim" Lawlor He is popular young attor- ney with plenty of push in him and would make an ideal assistant for the city clerk. His work on the board ot euucdIl0n ms netn NdlCneu Nllu ht- ferest as we'll as his present fight for Town Plot residents in their endeayo, to get a trolley line in that section. Still there are many who think that the aldermanic body will not interfere with Sandland should he appoint Hackett. whom he thinks justly de serves the position. Another thing that interests the people of Brooklyn is the rumor that Druggist Walker may he one of the republican mem- bers of the board of safety. Mayor Thoms would make no mistake in the appointing of such a man and the board of safety would have a membev ' well versed in municipal affairs. l. is almost loo good to be true. but if + should come about. this section of thu city will be finely taken care of in thae line during the next two years by the ex-alderman.
