 Brooklyn was a terribly dusty place to-day. The merchants, try as the would, were unable to keep their stores free from 1t and 1t was con- spicious on almost everything that 1t could possibly reach. But never mind the sprinkling carts are coming some time.
 -Clothesline thieves have been operating with much success in the west end the past week and a couple of families had their lines stripped in fine style on Thursday evening. Mrs Mary Cullum of the west end was the heaviest loser, losing a line which was full of wearing apparel Mrs. Cuflum lives on the second floor but this didn't feaxe the thievea who ascended the back stairs and cut the line.
 The members of the Third Ward Republican club in Brooklyn say that the fight for the chairmanship of the town committee between Ben jamin R. Kelsey and Attorney U. c. Church is not the only one which is on. They claim that big effort will be made to oust Judge Peasley from the secretaryship. It is claimed bX the opponents of Peasley that he has only four delegates pledged to him out of the fifteen. When asked whom they intended to nominate to oppose Peasley they stated that they did not care to disclose the persons name.
 The old practice of allowing the rubbish collected on the streets to remain in the gutters to be blown all around again by the wind is again in vogue. The street cleaner on the Bank street pavement was accus- toned to sweep the dirt into the gut ter where 1t would stay until cart came along. The matter was brought to the attention of Alderman Walk CT and for time two men were on the pavement over here and the dirt was thrown into cans accordingly as Is was swept up. Why this system was not continued is not known, as It was we'll appreciated by the store- keepers. The writer was in store this morning outside of which was 3 pile of rubbish. Every gust of wind would scatter some of 1t hither and thither and goodly part would blow through the door into the store | It appears to be very impractical way to clean the streets as on a windy day the pavement is almost as dirty in an hour or two after 1t Is cleaned because of the dirt be- Ing allowed to stand in the gutters.
 The ball game between the Hills and the Brooklyns is arousing all kinds of enthusiasm and it is safe to say that the Brooklyn rooters will be out in force as they know much depends upon to-morrow's con- test. The Hills are shouting victory already and seem to have any amount of long green to place on ast years champions. Although | he Brooklynites have not done | much betting as yet. they probably | will have few bones to place on | he game. If the Brooklyns should | get trounced their chances for the | rag will be very small. as the Pas lines are pretty sure to trim the | although the Eastenders .hink they will take one of the con- ests. Even though the Brooklyns win tomorrow they will have a hard game the following Sunday. with the North Ends. Still Manager Madden 'xpects to scalp both teams and says hat he sees no reason why another up will not come to Brooklyn.
