 Mrs Yaakalanus of South Leon- ard street is laid up with ivy poison- ing which seems to be prevalent in Brooklyn at this time.
 William Borchardt and son Jo- seph spent yesterday at Meadows End, where the other members of the family are summering.
 William Aronoski, the child that was badly burned on Saturday, Is improving and 1t is not likely that any skin will have to be grafted from his brother as it was first thought Saturday evening a fight dur ing which couple of pistol shots were fired took place on Draher ave- nue. The report of the gun brought the policemen on duty to the street named above, but they could find no evidence of the brawl which evident ly took place.
 The fight on Draher avenue was not the only one which occurred in Brooklyn Saturday night, as a very lively one made things hum in a sa- loon on Bank street a short time be- fore closing time. A fellow, we'll un- der the weather, got using his fists freely with the result that in short time there was battle in which there were about twelve persons en- gagged. Such racket was made and such a crowd collected that the po- licemen entered the place, but no ar rests were made. The exchange of kicks and punches is said to have been the hottest seen in Brooklyn in many months.
 Robert Walker, the Brooklyn druggist, surprised all the fishermen that have been trying their luck near Walnut Beach this summer by the catch he made in the waters in the vicinity yesterday. The Brooklynite has a hobby for fishing and when ever the opportunity presents itself hies of with his line and hook. Yes terday he journeyed to the shore and during the day caught blackfish which weighed almost twelve pounds. Of course those anglers who are ac- customed to go out and have very little luck will undoubtedly claim that Walker bought the fish, but it is stated on reliable information that the druggist really made the catch.
 What rattling good game the Brooklyns played against their old rivals from the Hill at State league park yesterday afternoon! With Cap tain Johnnie" Kelly in the box the boys from across the bridge moved their opponents down in grand style and won one of the best games of the year. Wallace, the Brooklynite, was on the rubber for last years cham pions. but he was touched rather freely by .Madden's brigade. It looked as if 1t were all off in the last in- ming, but with three men on bases the Brooklyns pulled themselves to- gether and not run crossed the plate. The Pastimes are still in the lead, for they gave the "Tabs' an unmerciful walloping, but the Brooklyns are good second.
 Dominic Squiminackas, Lithu- anian who arrived in this country Saturday, is at the Waterbury hospi- tai with broken thigh and a rather sore body as the result of a fall from a yeranda on North Leonard street Saturday night. Dominic arrived in Waterbury late Saturday afternoon, having left New York early in the day. On his arrival in this city he was met at the station by one of his countrymen who was delighted to see Dominic and he immediately took him to his home on North Leonard street. The usual celebration fol- lowed and when 1t was time to turn in everybody was sleepy. Squimin- auckas was so tired that he did not take the trouble to find a bed but using the back veranda for a bunk entered the realms of Morph- GUS. But everything did not go eus.. He fell of the veranda to the ground 30 feet below. A passerby heard the injured mans groans and notified Officers Sam Walsh and John Bowling. Dr Russell was called and found that the man was suffering from a broken thigh bone and few minor injuries. He is resting com fortably at the hospital.
