 Because of the number of ve- hicles on Bank street the hose cart and steamer of the Brooklyn engine company, while on the way to the fire this morning, had to proceed rather slowly until after the Bank street bridge was passed. | It is said that Frank Zuraitis of North Leonard street and Miss Mary Binuliute of Seymour, who were married at St Joseph's church on "Wednesday morning by the Rev Peter Saurusaitis, met only twice be- fore they were welded.

 John Carroll, the soda water man, who left last evening for New Haven, was agreeably surprised as he was about to leave his place of business on Bank street yesterday to take the train that would carry him to the Elm city. He did not wonder that. several of his old friends, including Dan Mahaney, Frank Sheridan, Danny Ray and several others should be on hand to bid him farewell, though he is to be away only few months, but he was taken off his feet when "Fakir" Sul- livan, one of his employees, stepped forth and on behalf of himself and Ed" Moriarty, presented Carroll with ia handsome gold headed cane "Fakir," who for original sayings and mp to date expressions is known throughout the city, and one can im- agine the neat little speech full of witticisms that he delivered in mak- ing the presentation. Carroll, though not in the same class as Sul- livan when 1t comes to responding and saying the right thing at the right time, proceeded to inform Messrs Sullivan and Moriarty, who is in partnership with the recipient, and the guests present. that he was elated with the gift. Carroll did not get the train he was after, for he had to stay the remainder of the after noon with the group of Brooklynites of which he has been a conspicuous member.
