 street has returned, after spending ,
 three weeks. vacation in New York. Eddie Winters, a pupil at tht
 Bank street school, fell Tuesday
 while playing in the basement of the
 building and broke his arm.
 Tuesday evening about 1C
 o'clock car jumped the tracks or
 Bank street, near Plume & Atwood's
 factory. It was pulled back on the
 rails by the construction car.
 This evening services will be
 conducted for married men in the
 upper floor of St Patrick's, while the
 single men will be instructed in the
 basement. The mission is attracting
 large crowds from all sections of the
 city and is big success.
 William Inges, an employe of Holmes, Booth & Haydens, and re- siding on James street, was severely burned while at work yesterday. Inges in some manner came in con- tact with some red hot metal and his arms and hands were burned to the bone.
 Several persons were notified by the police yesterday that they would have to appear in court this morn ing and settle because of not living up to the ordinance in regard to dogs. Officers Dodds and Mccarthy tracked about seven canines to their homes yesterday and consequently the owners will be compelled to cash up.
 After the first of April Daniel Mahaney will begin work on his new block at the corner of Bank and Riv- erside street. The front part of the block will be finished up first and when the stores are ready the "shacks' in the rear will be torn down and the building completed. It will be two stories, the same height as the building in which the Brook lyn Athletic club is located. Later two more stories will be built on each structure, making a handsome corner block four stories high.
 The police are on the lookout for fellow who is said to--be mak- ing himself objectionable to all, but especially ladies, who are compelled to use after dark the path known as Devils Pass. This place has always been a disagreeable spot for pedes- -rians, but 1t seems lately that it is even more so because of this dis ,urber, who is likely to he hauled nto the courts some fine day and get what he deserves. It only goes o show that a few lights are needed It this point and that plan of having l path from Liberty street to Bank 'treet should be advocated.
 Although people laughed at the dea a few years ago, Town Plot and lpper Brooklyn is at last going to lave a high water service. At meeting of the board of public works Tuesday evening Mayor Thoms gave he thing big boom and the city en- ,ineer gave an outline of how 1t ould be accomplished. The city 'oards are certainly beginning to i've this side some consideration, nd the committee which is advocat- nga these improvements must be ,iyen eredita And 1t was also recom- nended that the conditions existing t the Bank street bridge be elim- 1 nated It is proposed to raise the | idewalk several feet at this point nd build an iron fence on the out ide. This would prevent all dan CT of falling into the street. It is | 3 be regretted that something can ot be done to persuade the direc- DTS of the Consolidated road to aise that Bank street bridge four or ve feet. It is their Intention to levate it only about eighteen inch s, but this will not materially aid { ,affic. That spot on Bank street is liserable both for teamsters and edestrians and unless it is remedied ow it never will be. Since the city
 willing to- spend some money 1t ould seem as though the Consoli- ated road, whose generosity is cling praised, would be also ready. , do its share.
 An enthusiastic meeting, at hich were the members of the rooklyn improvement committee nd the Town Plot Improvement so- ety, was held last evening in the yceum, to discuss the course of ac- on to be followed at the meeting of le railroad commissioners at Hart ,rd on Saturday. All the members the committee with the exception two who will be unable to get on. i'll go to the Capitol. Attorney imes NJ. Lynch, who made such an lcellent address before the alder en on Monday evening, will do the liking for the Brooklyn people, and ) will undoubtedly handle the ques- on in a masterly manner. Chair an Henderson called the meeting

 has been the custom for the Brook n people to hold their meetings Ithout any scribes present. and last ght was no exception. Reporters we the privilege of staying, but can port only what the committee see to allow. as the committee has a ess committee to take care of the ,wspaper end of it. The Business en's association received much iticism last evening for interfering
 the trolley muddle and many harsh ings were said about the men up VII. The Brooklyn people seem to { ink that 1t was a scheme to hurt {, cir project and they were not at backward in expressing an opin- n on the same. The business men ye certainly no idea what a hor- ts' nest the have stirred up. but if ey spent 6 day in Brooklyn they ,uld receive many stings and before zht they would be aware of the | ct that they had been stung a odly number of times. The peti- , ,n presented by the aldermen will
