 Charles Overton while helping to lift heavy rail from a car yes terday near the Bank street bridge had his foot badly injured by the falling of the rail. Dr Russell dressed the injury.
 Several of the workmen labor ing on the railroad operations golng on near the covered trestle received an unexpected shower bath yesterday afternoon which they did not at all relish. In fact few of them were so angry because of the drenching, they threatened to attack the fellow whom they thought was the in stigator, but they were at length shown that the incident was only an accident. The water for the boiler which runs the engine at this point is secured from the river. A barrel which is fastened with wire on eith- CT side at the top is attached to a hook on the derrick and lowered into the river, with a workman hanging on in order to turn the barrel when it reaches the stream so thati will fill quickly. The work was carried on without mishap until yesterday afternoon. About o'clock the bar rel was being raised as usual when one of the hooks broke and the bar rel tipped and water went splashing down upon seven or eight of the fell lows who were working below. They were soaked from head to foot, At first they thought it was joke and not perceiving the humor they rushed up eager to lay their hands on the perpetrator. When they were informed that it was an accident their anger subsided and they went in quest of dry clothing or at least to dry the wet clothing.
 The latest resident of Brooklyn to purchase horse with the inten- tion of appearing on the speedway in the near future is "Joe' Smith, who is of the opinion that his pacer will take the measure of some of the best goers in this city. As yet Joe" has not been seen much with the animal, but he is getting it into condition, and when in shape, the steed is expected to make mile in fast time. Recently a Brooklyn mer- chant who thinks that he has horse that can out run any other skate in this section issued a challenge. If he is still of the impression that his is the best piece of horseflesh on this side of the bridge, Joe" will be willing to accept his def and will post forfeit for race at any time.
 If Hogan" Clark receives all the cigars that have been promised him for the excellen. game he but up last evening, when Company c defeated All Brooklyn, he will be smoking for the next six months. Hogan" disliked very much to be instrumental in the defeat of the team in this part of the city, put as goal tender for the soldier boys he had to do it, although after the con. test his heart. in way. was heavy as he was convinced that if the All Brooklyns lose the pennant, on his head the abuse will ial, because of the manner in which he has been guarding Company G's goal. Last evening the All Brooklyn five seemed too anxious and did not appear to as good advantage as during previous games. Wallace was not up to his usual form although he played a fairly good game. Still the Brooklyn ties had little hard luck for once they placed the ball in the netting only to have it come bounding out, while the goal caged by Lund was only an accident. All Brooklyn has still as good a chance as any other team in the league for first place and there is no reason why the quintet should not finish on top.
