A large attendance was present at the Lenten services at St Pat rick's church last evening.
 Thomas Stokes of South Leon ard street, an employe of Ralph N. Blakeslee, while at work yesterday had a couple of fingers smashed.
 A subcommittee from the Brooklyn Improvement committee will meet the Business Mems direc- tors this evening to talk over trolley affairs and improvements in gel- eral TAe conference will be held in the rooms of the Business Men on Bank street.
 "A man who has been at the Brookaide home on and off the past year, started on the warpath on Bank street last night and crowd of almost one thousand people col- lected. The crowd remembering the tragedy of last week rushed from all directions and in short time the street was black with people. Detec- lives Dodds, Keegan and Kennaugn were in Brooklyn at the time as were Olicers Dunats, Madden and Flaherty. When the people saw the six limbs of the law they surely thought something was on and 1t was a long time before the mass dispersed. Superintendent of Char ities Norris was in Brooklyn this morning looking up the case and in all probability the demented man will be taken to the BroOkside once more.
 As was known long before the meeting took place, the Brooklyn Improvement committee at it's con- ference last night refused to make any promises to do anything for the trolley company, and will in the fu- ture as it has in the past back up the city in any conditions 1t places on the trolley company. The sub- committee which has been waiting on Manager Sewell and Allan w.. Paige made known the terms already mentioned in this paper on which line would be built in Town Plot before July 1, 1907. The company wants the Brooklyn people to use their influence with the mayor and the board of aldermen to have the conditions under which the company may put down lines in this clty' frightened. They are willing to waive a few conditions as are the Brook lyn people, but as yet there does not seem to be much of chance of an agreement being made. It was an executive session and the reporters who have been accustomed to jour- ney to the Lyceum were given the bounce again last evening. -4,
 "What was the result of the meet ing last night. MT Henderson, was asked him this morning. Tt was most harmonious session and al though we will still back up the city in its fight against the trolley com pany still the members learned that the company is beginning to recede a little, but not as much as we wish" ...s,---. ,.
 Attorney Lynch and Robert Wal ker, who have been conspicuous i'll the meetings with Manager Seweii and A. w. Paige, talked against making any promises to the com pany as yet. MT Lynch and Hans Rasmussen also touched for while on the rumors that there is dissea- sion in the committee. From tne gist of the conversation last even- ing 1t was seen that any number or will not bring peace and the company does not seem to be raining much from the Brooklyn neopie. True, there is a better feel ing existing between the c. R.. x l., Co and the Brooklyn committee than ever before, but unless the company decides to do something quickly the Robbins street affair is likely to be thrown into the courts. ...+.
 The company is now willing to grade West Main street from Park road to the town line. making It 6Q feet wide, and is willing to dll ln Tamarack swamp and pave the streets between. This the company objected to at Hartford. .
 One of the members of the brook- Iyn commiteee said this morning tnay if the company would agree to most of the conditions of Robbins streee and meet about half the expense, with an agreement which it could not get away from that 1t would build the line on Town Plot next year, that the committee might use its influence with the mayor and the board for the trolley company Tor in other parts of the city, "I say might if the company gets A hustle on and shows what 1t really intends to do."
 Before the meeting adjourned the following committee was appointed to meet the directors of the Business Mems association in joint meeting this evening: John Henderson. koo- ert c. Walker, Hans Rasmussen. Cor neltus Tracy, Benjamin R. Kelsey, the Rev J. M. Gleeson and Attorney
