BROOKLYN BRrEIs.

| l William Grady, who has bJen
 i'll for some time, is able to bs
 around once more.
 | The mission at St Patrick's con- : tinues to draw large crowds both in
 the morning and in the evening. Mrs John Withey of Highland l avenue, while on her way to church yesterday morning, because of
 hole in the road, was precipitated to the ground and severely shaken up. William Keefe, who was in jured in the accident which occurred at the Washington avenue crossing
 few weeks ago, causing the death
 of Joseph Barnes, has fully recov- cred.
 Shortly after Officer Bowling
 brought in Pasquale Denosa from l Brooklyn this morning Officer Hayes
 found another demented person on ! Bank street during the noon hour. He was down near the depot and was
 using his lungs in great shape when the officer got line on him. He did
 not put up the resistance that Dow ling's man did, but he went quietly to the station. His name is down on
 the slate as Tom Neylon. Neither man was under the influence of liquor.
 David Berman and wife, in com pa1y with their son Marcus and his family, have just come from Russia. They assert that the condition of af- fairs in their mother country is alarming and that the people will not be contented until the czar is com pelled to resign. They tell of the
 sufferings the Jews have undergone and state that no civilized nation
 would permit the outrages that have
 occurred there to take place. For the present they are the guests of David Letsky of 597 Riverside street. but they intend to settle down and spend the remainder of their lives in this country The children have already entered the Barnard school
 An Italian who is known in this district as Patsy" furnished large
 amount of excitement in Brooklyn
 this morning. The man is demented
 and it is believed that he has ap-
 peared in court before. He was firsI noticed to-day in front of St Pat
 rick's church, where he was kneel- ing in mud and slush, and he was praying in a voice that could be heard some distance away. Next he attempted to undress himself and. had removed his hat, coat and vest when he was stopped by employees of the bottling works. Meanwhile word had been sent to Superintendent Morris of the charity department and he drove to Brooklyn. He found the fellow at the corner of John street. Patsy" was saluting everyone who passed and was also expressing his opinions on many things. He seemed to imagine that he was ad- dressing an audience for the more he talked. Officer Hayes had been sent for, but before he arrived Off, cer Bowling buckled in and in about two minutes he gave him the "ki- bosh."
 About thirty feet above the ground, with one leg suspended in the air, holding onto window sill with one hand, John Mahaney of Bank street yesterday afternoon. with voice that could be heard a mile, yelled for help. as he was in danger of falling to the pavement be- low. John Is son of D. J. Mahaney, and after school hours he works or his fathers buildings. He is tali fellow, weighing about 17C pounds, and has played on the High school football team the past couple of years. Yesterday he was washing windows in the new building which is being erected on Bank street. He had almost completed his work and was engaged on finishing the last one. He had one leg outside the window and was attempting to pull down the window when his overalls got caught in the window sill in some manner as to render him help- less and he was in peril of dropping to the cement walk quite distance below. Help! Help! Some one hurry up. am falling!" yelled Ma nancy. Soon couple of young fell lows who had heard the shouts has tened up the stairs and got Mahaney out of danger. Although there was a funny side to the affair still unless there had been some one in the vi- cinity to go to the young mans aid the incident might have resulted seri- ously.
 The work of building an addi- tion to the Bank street school will undoubtedly be held up for a while as the appropriation does not corre- spond with the price of the lowest bidder on the job. For the differ ence of less than s1,000 the addition to the school will no doubt be al- lowed to hang fire even though the conditions at the school are such that extra rooms are in great need. Perhaps the undertaking will be al- lowed to drag along as the project of Illuminating the clock on this school was allowed to. When In- spector of Schools Slayin was asked recently why the clock was not light ed, he answered that he did not know. The work was ordered done, there was some kind of a hitch over what kind of lights should be used, and the clock remains to-day as 1t was then. not a thing being done on it. But what does 1t matter? It is only Brooklyn and over on this side the residents and taxpayers get lit- tie or no consideration. Why should not the educational commissioners think long and thoughtfully before they vote to give out a contract which calls for about $500 more than the appropriation? Have not the various boards in this city got to be economical in order to meet the expenses for that approach to the union statIon2 Brooklyn-vhy. what does Brooklyn amount to-
