While the driver was absent the ami nal became frightened and went dashing up Bank street. It stopped when 1t reached the brewery. the horse and carriage being uninjured.
 Thomas Condon, hoseman at the Brooklyn engine house, received a telegram this morning from Arizona, notifying him of his fathers death which occurred at Phoenix on Tues day. The telegram was lacking in particulars, as ft simply stated that Michael Condon had been killed there by train. Later in the day the mans son telegraphed for particu- lars. Michael Condon lived on James street for long time but left Water bury about fifteen years ago. Since that time his son and his brother, Daniel Condon of Porter street who survive him, have not heard from him and the news of his death came as a shock. The body will not be brought East for burial.
 There is much discussion in Brooklyn as to who will succeed the late Patrick ,Cronan as commissioner on the charity board, and already there are several in the third and fourth wards looking for the berth Commissioner Cronan lived in the third ward and naturally the demo- crats in the third see no reason why the new man should not be selected from their district. But 1t makes It. tie difference to those in the fourth in which almost all of the present ofYice holders live. where the late com missioner dwelt; what they are interested In Is where the new one will reside. Mayor Thoms Is in nc hurry to fill the vacancy. and 1t ia not probable that he win do so until after the delegation to the state con. vention is selected. When speaking about the appointment recently, he intimated that he was in no hurry tc select a man. There are several young fellows in the third who wan, to be a commissioner and they can not understand. 60 they say. why T fourth warder should be considered If the fellows who would like to be on the charity board get out and work for the place. Mayor Thoms will have a diffieult task in making a SC. lection.
