 A horse and wagon, the property of peddler, caused little excite ment on Bank street last evening about 6 o'clock. Evidently under the impression that 1t was time to eat 1t scampered up Bank street and turned into a yard opposite James street, where 1t endeavored to de- molish a couple of carrages which obstructed the way to the barn.
 The work on the Bank street bridge is stopped temporarily, as the men quit work on Saturday evening and the company has been unable to find laborers to fill the vacancies The firm that is doing the bridge work for the New York. New Haven & Hartford in Brooklyn is the Penn sylvania Steel company. One of the foremen for the firm said to-day that it is very difficult to obtain competent workmen for this line of work. He stated although the men were paid fifty cents an hour, they were not satisfied. but stated that the last bunch to get through resigned their positions because they were tired of work and not because of any differ ences with their employers. The company since 1t started the work in Brooklyn has been having plenty of trouble with its men. It had only been here about a week when the first group struck. not caring to labor with non-union men whom they said were being employed on the bridge Although operations on the bridge were stopped couple of days. new men were soon here to take the place of the strikers and the work went on. Next the company had trouble with the city because the former refused to give pedestrians proper protection while passing the bridge. For a while sticks. stones. dirt and pieces of iron were falling from the bridge and landing on the walk below. Such a holler was made by the Brooklyn residents that finally the company was compelled to keep an officer be- low to watch out for the safety of the citizens. That part of the bridge which is built is not constructed as 1t should be and the foreman stated that some of the work. the riveting especially. is very poorly done. He said that at this time of the year i, Is no easy task to get a good gang of iron workers and that's why most of the bridge work en this side is going along slowly.
