Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-08-23
BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

| ;
 Mrs Murphy and daughter of North Leonard street are visiting in New York.
 Miss Marion Hunter of Alder steet with Miss Florence Baker of Cherry street are at Lowell lake, Yer mont.
 The repairing of John Killough- ey's house at the corner of Washing ton avenue and Bank street is rapid ly nearing completion.
 Driving along Bank street near Stupidity Bridge, The Second" is disagreeable enough when the pave ment is in good condition, so one can imagine what it is when the street has hollow here and there. Just at present along near Wards flats and across the bridge in front of the DeLucia property there are some very bad spots in the pavement which should be attended to. The blocks, those noiseless blocks, have in some places buried themselves about foot lower than they should be. As horses strike these patches in the road they are likely to take fall unless the driver is right there with the ribbons. Scarcely a week passes that one of more horses do not fall. A few days ago horse, consid- cred very valuable by its owner, went to earth near the bridge and If 1t had been injured the incident would have cost the city just few dollars more than it would take to repair the pavement.
 The hearing on the application of William Mccarthy who keeps a saloon at the corner of Washington avenue and Railroad Hill street to have his place of business transferred to 791 Bank street did not come be- fore the county commissionersin New Haven to-day. It was put over until next week. This is the third attempt that Mccarthy has made to have his saloon transferred having been un- successful on the two previous oc- casions. He first endeavored to To- cate near the Auditorium but there was such a remonstrance he aban- doned the plan. Next he tried to get in at the lower corner of South Main and Meadow streets but again he was turned down. What his chances are for establishing saloon at 791 Bank street is question. At- torney James M. Lynch is counsel for the remonstrants, who claim that the number of cafes in this section of the city is already sufficient. They will strongly oppose the opening of an- other at the address mentioned. The place is between Riverside and Sec ond streets and is the only store in the block which Is now being built The Peasley faction or the Peas ley-Kelsey combine, call it what you wish. as stated in the Democrat on Wednesday evening is raising the "old nick" in the balliwick of the Third ward republicans. At first it was thought that the regulars would find some difficulty in finding men to- run on the ticket against the Peas ley slate, but now it seems almost all the opponents of the Peasleys want to be candidates. Although there are. only seven candidates and three can- didates for aldermen from the third there are fully twenty-five men who wish their names to be placed on the ticket. A meeting was to have been held last evening but whether 1t ma terialized is a question. If it did the lid must have been squeezed on for keeps as no one knew anything about it to-day. The members and the lead CTS of the Young Mems Republican club know they are in a quandary. They realize that a mighty strong ticket must be placed in the Third If they wish to defeat the Peasleys, whose candidates for aldermen form a trio that will make some one travel at fast clip to defeat. Even though the Young Mems Republican club is asserting that It's members are doing things in all sections of the city, un- less 1t shows its hand soon in the Third. 1t will be considered a nonen- fly. Some of the moguls in the or ganization have already become sus- pIcious about some of the names on the roster and there Is likely to be q eniaah e<ona
