BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

ucluS up loi u iS" uoyo eNo sAAS result of injuries received on the floor of the Lyceum last Thursday evening. ft
 The petition of Alderman John Malone for fire box at the corner of Bank and Fifth streets which was referred to the board of safety by the aldermen last evening should be granted. There is need of a boy at this point as the nearest box is at the corner of Porter and Charles street
 Last evening about 6:30 sleigh of the Glynn Charcoal' Co loaded with bags of the fire kindler was disabled on Bank street, near South Leonard, and threw the coal all over the street. The sleigh was crossing the tracks when some part of the outfit snapped and the bags were scattered pell nell on the street.
 This morning about o'clock a trolley car struck a wagon of the Lilley, Swift & Co on Bank street, near Cronin's store. The car and "oSoh WClC Douhu lOW ol uo luC CCii- ter, the wagon in front of the car, but off the tracks. As the car was about to pass the vehicle the wheels of the latter slipped and swung onto the track. The car bumped it, but as it was not going very fast, very little damage was done. The car struck in such way that it was injured as much if not more than the vehicle. The right side of it was dented considerably and the fen der was broken while only one wheel of the wagon was damaged much.
 It will need score of barristers to put up suitable defense for the first person that is caught ringing false alarms in this section. Not content with bringing the department out on Sunday morning about 3 o'clock, which was the second false call within week, some joker rang in another false alarm last evening. 1 It was from box 32 at the corner of Bank and North Riverside streets and was sounded about 7:30 in the evening, at which time there is any number of people on the streets of Brooklyn. Of course part of the de- partment hustled to answer the alarm. Much to the chagrin of Chief Snagg it was found that there was no fire anywnere in sight. The chief is much incensed as the result of these false alarms and the first one that is caught in the act will un- doubtedly be strongly prosecuted. l It is an awful strain on the horses | to pull the apparatus through the streets in their present condition The false alarm bug has the fire maniac groggy.
 The chances of Andrew Brod- erick being the next school inspector seems mighty slim just at present. They are melting as the beautiful snow disappears under the rays of the hot sun. It is understood that a few of the members of the next board of education who happened to meet within the week did not even consider Andrews name, although he was of the opinion that the fifth ward representative would favor his candidacy. It is said that Mauric ce Culhane has been substituted in An drew's place in an effort. which is not likely to prove successful, to beat out the present incumbent, Mike Slavin. Since Andrew entered the race for the inspectorship some of his non-admirers have said that he
 was member of the Young Mems Republican club. They claim he was always member of the Third Ward
 Republican club and when this was
 absorbed by the Young Mems Repub
 lican club his name was placed upor
 the roster of the new organization.
 The police department should
 take it upon itself to clean out the
 gang that is such menace to thS
 pedestrians near the corner of Wash
 ington avenue and Railroad Hil
 street. There has been number O
 rowdies at this corner off and or
 for the past few years, but of lat,
 they have apparently become nor;
 bold than before. It appears or
 Sunday evening they administered al
 awful beating to couple of foreign
 CTS who were going along peaceful!
 until the trouble makers pelted then
 with snowballs. The men who wer,
 targets for a volley of hard snow balls turned to chase the boys. Blu the boys did not run; they knev
 they outnumbered the men and i there was any fisticuffs they would
 come out first best. The foreigner l. started to chastise the fresh younj men. Blows fell upon thei , faces swifter than the snowballs hat
 on their heads. The men wer,
 knocked down and badly pummelled
 When they were pounded almost int,
 insensibility the boys ''skooted. . Perhaps these pugnacious rowdies d, !; not reside in the vicinity. but tn police must have some idea of wha s fellows congregate near the corner
 This is not the first time that pedes ]. trians have been ''trimmed' whil passing this gang.
