BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Joseph Begnal is able to be around, after severe attack of rheumatism.
 The Brooklyn Athletic club is making arrangements to conduct a big whist party after Lent.
 Large crowds still continue at the mems mission now going on at St Patrick's church.
 Small pamphlets are being dis tributed giving list of the books which can be found at the branch li- brary at the Barnard school. The H. brary is proving big success and many new volumes will undoubtedly be added in short time.
 --0ff1cers Dodds and Mccarthy, the dog catchers, were in Brooklyn this morning trying to get line on stray canines or brutes which are running loose without their head pieces. The police are more active than ever in regard to the muzzling of dogs and all canines which have not their nooses properly adjusted will be taken to Harrison avenue. The two officers mentioned above did the section in good style and when ever they heard the bark of a cur they would hasten to the back yard to see if they could make capture.
 Almost fifty from Brooklyn will go to Hartford Saturday and appear before the railroad commissioners to oppose any action which will tighten the conditions of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Go in regard to the line in Robbins street. Every thing as yet seems favorable to Brooklyn, and those who are present to fight for compromise will have to put forth some telling arguments to get the better of the delegation which will be on hand to fight for this section and the welfare of the other residents of the city. And many are of the opinion that this hearing should be held in this city. Why should 100 men, this number will probably go to the Capitol, be compelled to go out of the city when it would be much easier for the three commissioners to come to this city? Several of those who will go to the hearing can i'll afford to lose a days pay and also what their fare will cost them. Still they feel as if they should be there since there is. much at stake. It is Brooklyn that is bringing the city out of the clutches of the trolley company, and to Brook lyn should be given credit if this city gets anything from this corpora tion. Brooklyn residents assert that the claim of the business men that they want to see a place where the working people can enjoy themselves is all we'll and good, but sounds funny when 1t is remembered that it was the same association that was the means of stopping those dollar excursions to New York, which were a treat to a large number in Water bury for a short time during the summer. And if the Brooklyn peo. ple were not looking for local line, why should the city spend an addi- tional $10,000 grading Robbins street just to accommodate the trol- ley company? Five thousand dol lars would put the street in a condi- tion which would be suitable to the taxpayers, but it would take about $15,O00 to fix it up to the taste of the directors of the c. R. and l.. Co. Moreover, the facts which are being presented from the residents across the bridge are beginning to awaken the interest of the people in other parts of the city and in short time all those who at first looked with dis, favor on the doings of the Improve. tnent committee in this section will be compelled to acknowledge that Brooklyn did good turn for the city when 1t started its crusade for inn provements. Brooklyn will be we'll represented at Hartford, and having the mayor, the board of aldermen and much the better arguments, the action of the commissioners will be wotched with interest.
