 the Nonpareils in New Haven to-day
 but 'the weather prevented the con
 test.
 Rev Father Duggan of Torrington
 spent yesterday in Brooklyn and at.
 tended the festival at St Patrick's parish hall last evening.
 The many friends of Oficer

 pleased last evening, when they
 learned that the oflcer had been ex.
 onerated from the charge of drunk
 enness preferred against him by Sergeant Blakely.
 1 Charles Lucas who was in this city Thursday night has been match ed for private fight to come of in | New York in short time. One of the New York papers in speaking oi
 the match stated that Lucas knock
 ed out Jimmie Williams in seven | rounds.
 --One of the trolley wires in Brooklyn broke last evening about 6 o'clock and for time it made things
 lively along Bank street. The wire
 which was very much alive danced
 round the street and Officer John
 Dunphy had his hands full endeavor-
 ing to keep pedestrians from walking
 on it. It tied up trolley service for
 about half an hour.
 The festival at the Lyceum the past four nights came to a close last evening when number of articles were drawn. The affair was one of the most successful ever given by the
 women of St Patrick's parish. The entertainment last evening consisted of songs by the Misses Mary Daly, Etta Bagley, Mary Shanahan. Cecilia Connor and Mary Delaney. The Union Square quartet was again heard, and was just as entertaining as on the opening night. Messrs Malley, Mur- phy and O'Brien also gave a clever exhibition of dancing.
 Bank street looked like river this morning as the water rushed along the thoroughfare just as though some big dam up on the hill had broken and allowed the water to escape. The water rushed down from the adjoining streets onto Bank in such manner as to make 1t al- most impossible to cross any part of the street, that is while the storm was at its height. To make matters worse the trolley schedule was knocked ont by the storm and many persons had to walk to work. One young lady attempted to cross on Bank street near South Leon arn street and she took an unexpected plunge in the water which was anything but clean. She was just about to take big stride when she lost her balance and fell-- why smply drenched. She didn't wait long to see how 1t happened but hustled home to procure some cloth ing which was trifle more dry.
 That the members of the Brook lyn and Town Plot Improvement committee are determined to have the bond committee tend to business was made evident last evening at a meet ing of the Brooklynites. For some time it has been the wish of the Brooklyn committee to have the members of the bond committee come together, but all interest among the mefnbefs seems to have vanished so the taxpayers across the bridge have taken 1t upon their. shoulders to see that something is done by the committee appointed by the mayor. If the members do not care to serve on the committee the members of the Brooklyn organization think they should resign. If they are willing to serve 1t is a mystery to the Brooklyn committee why meeting is not called and plans for the winter map ped out. The bond committee which came into existence about four months ago has proved fizzle. The first two meetings held were we'll at- tended and the members had some interesting discussions. The next sessions were frosts. One of them was held on stormy night. and the other was called for the evening Bar mum & Bailey's show was in town. From that time the enthusiasm for the bond committee began to wane anu Uds NOut1uutu tD, uutcSS lt lS in Brooklyn, there is not enough of 1t in sight now to give third class actorine a chance for an encore. Chairman John P. Elton has been asked to call meeting. but he stated that he did not think there was any work for the committee to do just at present. Nevertheless he informed John Henderson that if he so wished he could bring the mem- bers together. Mir Henderson has been under the impression that a meeting was to be held within a few weeks. but now is confident that un- less some movement is started the scheme for bonding the city will be SO dead that it will be almost impos- sible to resurrect 1t. At last nights meeting. which was attended by Chairman Henderson. Andrew Bro- derrick. John H. Malone. Henry liar der. Patrick McNamara and Attor- ney James N. Lynch, a letter was read from Charles Swenson. secre- tary of the Hill Street Improvement society. asking cooperation of the Brooklyn organization in order to compel the members of the b8nd committee to get going. The letter advocates the appointment of two members from every improvement organization to investigate and find out the cause of the delay. The plan was discussed. but fl was decided to fo.xo sho rr.<ftor nu tha fo hla urtfr
