 The friends and admirers ot "Fonsey" Vallone were well pleased with the contest the Brooklynite put up with Jeff Doherty of New Havek in this city last evening. Although it was the opinion of some that Doherts was stalling, still he will have to go some to knock Vallone out in six rounds. AS the bout proceeded Val lone seemed to improve and after the battle was as fresh as when he en- tered the ring.
 The trestle on Bank street which is generally termed a bridge is being altered and as the guard rails have been taken off underneath, much dirt falls on the walks. Whenever an en- zine passes over the trestle, all kinds of rubbish falls from above and if any pedestrians are passing at the time they receive few stones and pebbles on their head which do not tend to make them have much feeling for the New York, New Haven & Hartford road.
 TIA rather lively meeting of the Town Plot Improvement committee was held last evening in the school building. As result of the meeting M. c. German was elected tax collec- tor of the district and James Tyack was elected committeeman in place of Israel Upson who resigned. There were three or four looking for the office of tax collector and many thought that James Lawlor, assistant city clerk, would land the place. At last nights meeting George Adams. a member of the school committee, resigned, as the members could not agree, so Adams thought 1t wise to get out.
 Has flrebug started to operate in Brooklyn or has some one grndge against Frank Fruin of Green street 1? Fruin owns two-story frame build- ing on the street mentioned above and last evening about 10 o'clock he happened to be in the yard when he noticed blaze over near the side of the house. It was just started when Fruin went over and extinguished the blaze, which on investigation showed that 1t was caused by pile of rags saturated with oil to which a match had been applied. The heap of rags was large and was so drench- ed with oiAsthatif 1t had been given "a chance, 1t would have burned very rapidly. Fruin looked around hut could see no signs of any suspicious looking persons nor did he see any one around the place all the evening. At any rate he hastened over to Bank street to relate the matter to d policeman, as he thought it was too serious a matter to overlook. About this time last year a firebug had the life scared out of the residents of the west end, as there were eight or nine attempts to burn buildings m that section. The police after much work got line on the person whom they thought had the fire craze. but the fellow skipped town ere any ar rests were made. Fruin knows no reason why any one should attempt to burn his house and is somewhat worried over the incident.
